Internet of things (IoT) is a collection of smart equipment that creates a smart world. It has not just changed the way we interact with important devices but has also enhanced the potential of these devices. A major limitation of IoT is that it relies on centralized communication models. Traditional IoT solutions require high infrastructure and maintenance costs, which result in scalability problems. Moreover, the vulnerability of cloud servers and their failure can affect the IoT system. There is still no one platform that connects all devices. The peer-to-peer communication model instead of the standard server/client one can be the sustainable solution the IoT industry is looking for. The major challenge with the peer-to-peer networks is security. This is where the use of blockchain in IoT can help the IoT industry scale up in a sustainable way. Indeed, blockchain and IoT together can handle a portion of IoT's greatest difficulties. The main objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of IoT and Blockchain in Indian perspectives.

This article highlights the dynamics of geothermal energy in the Kamojang nature reserve in Indonesia. A nature reserve is a conservation area that must be protected and preserved, because it has unique flora and fauna, and rare ecosystems whose existence is threatened with extinction. After going through a long study process by an integrated team, the government finally made a policy to change the function of the nature reserve into a Nature Tourism Park. Changes in policy changes to the function of nature reserves cause pros and cons in the community, and cause conflicts between government and environmental activists. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into natural tourism parks in the Kamojang conservation area of Indonesia, as well as to identify appropriate communication models in the management of geothermal energy through communication and environmentally sustainable approaches. Research findings show that the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into tourist parks include; the interests of geothermal energy to meet national energy needs and electricity infrastructure, accommodate the needs of surrounding communities that utilize water resources in conservation areas, and restore ecosystems. The communication model for geothermal energy management that we propose at the same time is also a novelty namely; ecopopulism approach, negotiation approach, collaboration, and equating meaning and orientation to environmental sustainability. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Geothermal Energy, Nature Reserves, Conservation Policies, Communication Models and Sustainable Development.
