In the past decade, the tourism sector has contributed significantly to the income of countries in the Southeast Asia region. The growth of the tourism sector reached 8.3%, well above global growth of only 3.6%. Indonesia is one country with vast tourism potential. However, it is feared that the massive growth and potential will have an impact on the degradation of environmental quality, especially marine, which constitutes two-thirds of Indonesia's total area. This study aims to explore the profile of ecology and marine based tourism in Central Java Province, to analyze the supporting factors priority in the development of natural and marine tourism based on community empowerment, and to analyze stakeholders' participation in tourism development. The research used sequential mix method with Geographic Information System, ATLAS.ti, and stakeholder analysis with MACTOR as analysis tools. This study found that environmental and marine tourism development requires infrastructure and facilities, institutional preparation, and community empowerment. Ecomarine tourism development requires the involvement of various parties including regulators, executors, supporting institutions, targets, and the community as the main actor. The development model of ecomarine tourism is based on the concept of who does what, where the people gains empowerment support through community capacity building, transformation of work from fishermen/farmers to tourism business operators, local assistance, and the opening of tourism networks.

<p>Indonesia merupakan negara penyumbang sampah plastik terbesar kedua di dunia setelah China. Berdasarkan data dari Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK), diperkirakan jumlah sampah Indonesia pada tahun 2019 adalah sebesar 68 juta ton, dan sampah plastiknya mencapai 9,52 juta ton atau mencapai 14% dari total sampah yang ada. Pengelolaan sampah anorganik yang berupa botol, kertas, plastic, kaleng dan sampah bekas alat elektronik sifatnya lebih sukar terurai oleh organisme sehingga bertahan lama menjadi sampah. Terdapat berbagai cara untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, yaitu 3R (<em>Reduce, Reuse</em>, dan <em>Recycle</em>). Sampah yang bisa diangkut ke TPA di Klaten setiap harinya hanya berkisar 70% dari sampah yang ada, dan yang bisa diolah menjadi kompos dan daur ulang sampah anorganik hanya berkisar 2 %, sedangkan sisanya ditimbun sebesar  10 %,  dibakar sebesar 10 % dan besarnya sampah yang tidak terangkut adalah 8 %. Polanharjo merupakan salah satu daerah di Kabupaten Klaten yang sudah mengkoordinasi pemanfaatan sampah anorganik secara komersil, salah satu pelaku pemanfaatan sampah didaerah tersebut adalah Bank Sampah Rukun Santoso.</p><p>Bank Sampah Rukun Santoso merupakan salah satu bank sampah yang bisa mengelola dengan baik sampah yang dikumpulkannya, tetapi masih menghadapi beberapa kendala. Kendala-kendala tersebut adalah belum adanya variasi terhadap produk olahan sampah yang dihasilkan, karena baru bisa mengolah sampah berbahan dasar plastis pembungkus minuman instan saja. Sampah yang berupa kertas masih dijual secara kiloan, padahal mempunyai potensi untuk diolah dan mendapatkan nilai tambah yang lebih tinggi. Pemasaran yang dilakukan masih tradisional, dimana produk hasil olahan sampah hanya dipajang pada etalase di salah satu teras rumah pengurus dari bank sampah, sehingga diperlukan pelatihan untuk pemasaran yang lebih modern serta perlunya <em>brand awareness</em> pada produk olahan sampah tersebut.</p>Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah melakukan pelatihan bagi anggota dan pengurus Bank Sampah di Desa Polanharjo untuk membuat produk baru sebagai usaha diversifikasi terhadap produk yang sudah ada untuk kemajuan usaha mereka dengan bahan baku kain perca, karena selama ini yang diolah hanya sampah plastis yang berupa bekas pembungkus minuman kemasan saja.

The standard of halal used are defined from the points of: (1) input or material come from; (2) how to get the input; (3) how to process the input; (4) how to store the input; (5) how to transportage the input; and (6) how to package and serve the input. Mixed-method of quantitative and qualitative had been invoked to analyse the data.The results indicated that the level of awarness for consuming the halal food are vary among the moslem community by her/ his income- and sharia-stratum as perceived by them. It is hardly difficult to aware people of A-B-G-C accordingly for halal food in such high intense of diversity in community in short-term. Of course, a lot of efforts and strong committment among the stakeholders is indeed needed to ensure the halal food consumed by moslem in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the nexus between CO2 emissions, urbanization, and economic activity, as well as identify whether the pollution haven hypothesis is proven in Indonesia. It utilized time series data of Indonesia during the 1971–2019 period. Furthermore, the vector error correction model (VECM) was used to determine the long-run and short-run interplay using cointegration and Granger causality approaches. The empirical results showed the pollution haven hypothesis occurred in Indonesia. A long-term relationship with CO2 emissions was observed from the model. In addition, unidirectional causality occurred from urbanization, economic growth, exports, and foreign direct investment to CO2 emissions in the short term. It was concluded that the achievement of the Paris Agreement will be successful when the committed countries are courageous in transforming their economy. However, major adjustments are needed, where all parties need to have the same vision towards net zero carbon.

The main objective of this research is to formulate a participatory and inclusive model of economic development by optimizing the potential of local resources in Kebumen regency, Central Java, Indonesia by 1) identifying local resource-based economic potentials to be developed into pilot projects in regional development, 2) analyzing factors affecting the success of potential development, 3) analyzing the needs that influence the increase of community and stakeholders participation in regional development activities. This study uses Geographic Information System to map economic potential, Analytical Hierarchy Process to analyze factors that influence community participation, and ATLAS.ti to analyze needs and activities in developing leading sectors. The analysis shows that the economic potential in Kebumen district is focused on the potential of natural resources which include forestry, agriculture, fisheries, plantations and livestock. The regional development needs to be carried out thoroughly from upstream to downstream. AHP analysis shows that the factors that influence the success of potential development are internal, institutional and external factors. Needs analysis shows that the community holds an important role but must be supported by other stakeholders, namely the government, business actors and academics.This study recommends upstream-downstream development through nature-based ecotourism. The upstream sector that must be prepared is natural conservation combined with access to accessibility. The concept of back-to-nature developed in ecotourism must be supported by the provision of facilities and infrastructure that allows visitors to reach and enjoy the nature's beauty. In the downstream sector, tourism support services such as culinary and souvenir typical of Kebumen regency become an important part and need to involve all elements of community, especially those around the tourism destinations.
