“…Historically, waste collection and transport have suffered from the lack of accountability. Sometimes, waste is not collected from each waste bin in various faculty, owing to poor employee performance [38]. In addition, daily waste data should be uploaded online, including waste generated per day, waste composition, and the amount of waste being processed.…”

Effective solid waste management strategies are recognized as efforts to achieve campus sustainability. The university campus is currently considered the center of various activities involving students, lecturers, staff, and other parties contributing to the consumption pattern of energy, water, and other resources. This study aims to estimate the quantity and compositions of waste generated on the Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) campus, identify the causes of waste generation, evaluate the relationships between variables through statistical analysis, and recommend possible strategies to reduce solid waste generation. The results show that the simultaneous contribution of the student-gender ratio, student awareness level, administrative staff background, and green space amounted to 67.7% of the waste generation at UNDIP. Therefore, these four factors need to be a concern for campus authorities in their efforts to handle campus waste. Student awareness in particular was determined to be the only factor that significantly affects solid waste generation. UNDIP may implement proper environmental education through sustainability courses in each faculty to reduce solid waste in higher education institutions since it has the most significant impact. Outcomes of this study could be used as a reference to develop sustainable campus strategies, recycling plans, and comprehensive waste management in higher education.

In the current world, it is easy to listen that everybody and everything is connected. Over this connected world, the concept of Location-Based Services has grown in order to provide digital services in everyplace and at every time. Nevertheless, this is not 100% true because the connection is not guaranteed for many people and in many places. These are the Degraded Communications Environments, environments where the availability of highspeed communications is not guaranteed in at least the 75% of the time. This paper works over the experience of a previous work in developing light protocols that do not need broadband for communication. This work provides an extension of these protocols for the inclusion of mobile devices as elements of the communication process, and a set of libraries to allow the development of applications in Degraded Communications Environments. The work done has involved the development of two frameworks: An Android framework that makes the incorporation of Android devices easier, and a server-based framework that provides the server side for the development of the referred applications. A use case that uses these both frameworks has been developed. Finally, all technology developed is available throw a public Git repository.
