Problems in municipal and domestic wastewater have become major issues in sanitation sectors. One of the solutions to overcome domestic sewage is to install the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Economic analysis is fundamentally required for its viability. This paper focused on the economic analysis of feasible rates determination based on the ability to pay (ATP) and willingness to pay (WTP) of users. Furthermore, this paper also highlighted the sensitivity of NPV for different scenarios using different discount rates. Field questionnaires were distributed to surrounding communities in the study area. It was found that the values of ATP and WTP were IDR 125,000 and 40,000 respectively. Using the higher values of ATP, the NPV, and BCR were found to be economically feasible. For the sensitivity analysis, the results showed positive NPV using interest rates of 7.75-9.25%, and negative NPV for discount rates up to 9.75%. Therefore, to implement the development of WWTP, subsidies from the local government may help the starting point of the wastewater treatment plans construction and its operation and maintenance costs.

Penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu telah menjadi masalah yang serius dalam praktik demokrasi di Indonesia. Hal ini mempengaruhi persepsi masyarakat tentang pemilu dan calon-calon yang bertarung dalam pemilihan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis jenis-jenis hoax yang paling sering muncul pada Pemilu, karakteristik penyebar hoax pada Pemilu, faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi persepsi masyarakat tentang penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu, dampak dari penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu terhadap masyarakat dan demokrasi secara umum, serta strategi dan metode pendidikan politik yang efektif dalam mencegah penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu. Artikel ini tergolong dalam studi kepustakaan melalui pengumpulan data pustaka, membaca, dan mencatat serta mengolah bahan penelitian. Artikel ini menemukan bahwas pendekatan pendidikan politik yang lebih kritis dapat membantu mencegah penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu dan meningkatkan literasi digital masyarakat. Dalam kesimpulannya, penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pendidikan politik yang efektif untuk mencegah penyebaran hoax pada Pemilu dan memperkuat proses demokrasi di Indonesia. Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan sumbangan bagi pengembangan pendidikan politik dan literasi digital masyarakat.

Indrasari Rengat Hospital, a hospital owned by the Government of Indragiri Hulu Regency in Riau Province, Indonesia, was upgraded from type C hospital to type B in May 2018. This improvement program was followed by the addition of beds from 120 to 200. The production of wastewater in this hospital was around 57.6 m3/day, with a water demand of 500 L/bed per day. This study aims to evaluate wastewater treatment performance and provide recommendations on wastewater management. The research was conducted by case study method, design evaluation, and redesign of the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Evaluation results showed that the WWTP would still be able to accommodate an increase in wastewater discharge due to additional beds for type B hospital. The maximum number of beds, in order that the WWTP would still be able to hold the wastewater, would be 240 beds, which is equivalent to 115.2 m3/day of wastewater discharge. At this discharge, WWTP would fulfil design criteria for key parameters such as hydraulic loading rate, organic loading rate, and detention time.
