The use of natural fiber as a construction material, especially soil stabilization continues to grow. This paper focuses on the use of natural fiber to increase shear strength and bearing capacity of soft soil. The fiber used is obtained from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as a by-product of palm oil mills. Soft soil mixed with fiber with a composition of 5, 6, 7, and 8% fiber in the mixture. Some tests such as the standard compaction test, unconfined compression test, laboratory vane test, and California Bearing Ratio test were carried out. The results show that the soft soil used in this study can be compacted at fiber content higher than 5%. The maximum density obtained is 0.92 g/cm3 at 7% fiber content. The compacted soil-EFB mixtures successfully increase the shear strength and bearing capacity of the soft soil shown by the results of the UCT, laboratory vane, and CBR tests. The soil consistency changes from soft to medium soil. The maximum qu, su, and CBR obtained are 0.8 kg/cm2, 0.65 kg/cm2, and 6%, respectively at optimum fiber content of 6 to 7%.

The research aimed to evaluate the association of disposable income and environmental pollution on the investments measured using Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The research was specific to the Indonesian economy. The research was secondary quantitative and the data was accumulated from World Bank. The time frame considered for this study ranged from 1960 to 2018. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics, stationarity testing, ARDL assessment and Granger Causality have been used. The results unveiled that both disposable income and environmental pollution are found to have significant effect on the FDI of Indonesia. Therefore, both the proposed hypotheses have been accepted. The research is limited to Indonesia and no other country has been evaluated. Therefore, in future more countries can be considered for comparative analysis. In furtherance, more factors can be considered in future that affect Indonesian FDI.
