“…[15] found that the lack of reliable and affordable public transportation is a significant barrier to the use of public transportation in Jakarta. Studies [13], [16] also found that improving public transport systems and promoting the use of active modes of transport such as walking and cycling can be effective strategies to reduce the use of personal transport and improve public health.…”

This study aims to investigate the impact of pollution and transportation on public health in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected from a cross-sectional survey of 500 residents in Jakarta, including measurements of exposure to air and noise pollution, transportation behavior, and health status. The results showed that the use of private transportation was associated with higher exposure to air and noise pollution, while the use of public transportation was associated with lower exposure. Exposure to pollution has also been linked to poor health outcomes such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and mental health problems. The findings highlight the need for measures to reduce pollution exposure and promote the use of public transport and active modes of transport to improve public health in Jakarta. More research is needed to investigate the long-term impacts of pollution and transport on public health and to identify effective interventions to reduce those impacts.

“…Sustainable urban design is an interdisciplinary field that involves architecture, urban planning, environmental engineering, and sociology. The University of Texas at Arlington offers a unique interdisciplinary course on sustainable urban design that equips students with the skills to navigate complex urban design decision-making milieus (Fields et al, 2019;Repko, 2009). The course examines the history of urban design, form, and infrastructure in various cities to provide students with an understanding of how decisions about design impact the lives of inhabitants.…”

Studi literatur ini mengeksplorasi hubungan interdisipliner antara arsitektur, perencanaan kota, teknik lingkungan, dan sosiologi dalam desain perkotaan berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Studi ini menemukan bahwa kolaborasi interdisipliner sangat penting untuk menciptakan lingkungan perkotaan yang berkelanjutan dan layak huni, karena memastikan bahwa prinsip-prinsip desain berkelanjutan diintegrasikan ke dalam proses desain dan bahwa kebutuhan dan preferensi orang-orang yang tinggal di kota dipertimbangkan. Prinsip desain berkelanjutan, seperti efisiensi energi, pengelolaan air, pengelolaan limbah, dan penggunaan bahan ramah lingkungan, sangat penting untuk menciptakan lingkungan perkotaan yang berkelanjutan. Studi ini juga mengidentifikasi peran teknologi dalam desain perkotaan yang berkelanjutan, termasuk kemampuannya untuk meningkatkan efisiensi energi, pengelolaan air, pengelolaan limbah, dan transportasi. Selain itu, partisipasi masyarakat sangat penting untuk menciptakan rasa kepemilikan dan kebanggaan terhadap lingkungan perkotaan. Studi ini mengidentifikasi beberapa tantangan dan peluang untuk hubungan interdisipliner antara disiplin ilmu ini dalam desain perkotaan berkelanjutan di Indonesia, termasuk kurangnya koordinasi antara berbagai disiplin ilmu yang terlibat dan kurangnya sumber daya dan pendanaan untuk proyek desain perkotaan berkelanjutan. Secara keseluruhan, studi ini menyoroti pentingnya kolaborasi interdisipliner, prinsip-prinsip desain berkelanjutan, teknologi, dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam menciptakan lingkungan perkotaan yang berkelanjutan dan layak huni di Indonesia. Penelitian lebih lanjut harus fokus pada pengembangan model yang efektif untuk kolaborasi interdisipliner, mengidentifikasi strategi yang efektif untuk menerapkan prinsip-prinsip desain berkelanjutan, dan mengeksplorasi peran teknologi dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam desain perkotaan yang berkelanjutan.

“…In medicine, multidisciplinary teams can more effectively relieve the pain, symptoms, and stress experienced by patients with serious illnesses [3]. To build transportation systems that equitably serve communities, transportation planners and engineers are being called to collaborate with social workers and the communities they serve [4]. To develop artificial intelligence systems with effective human-AI interaction, collaboration is needed between computer scientists, systems engineers, human factors engineers, and socio-technical researchers [5].…”

The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine recommend that interdisciplinary education be evaluated against relevant criteria such as the number of students from the general population (i.e., from outside the instructor's department) and the mix of students. How is a department, program, or institution to quantify the multidisciplinarity of a class or student team? The number of majors is a simple metric, but it does not capture cognitive distance between majors. Beyond the number of majors and cognitive distance, a measure should also account for the proportion of students in each discipline. To describe the multidisciplinarity of educational programs, we propose the use of the Rao-Stirling diversity index, which has been used to quantify the multidisciplinarity of research papers, authors, research centers, departments, and institutions. The index requires a measure of distances between categories, in this case students' majors. In studies on university research, bibliometric measures are used to determine distances between Web of Science categories, but the categories do not map well to undergraduate student majors. In this paper, we develop a measure of distance between majors at a research institution based on overlap in courses required in each major, and on cross-listings of courses between departments. The distance measures were then used to calculate Rao-Stirling Diversity indexes for 3 multidisciplinary student teams (N = 85; each team included 12-55 students, 5-7 majors, and majors from 2-5 colleges). Results are interpreted and discussed, along with limitations and future directions.
