Abstract

Public open space or Urban open space as a means of outdoor activities are not only become part of the lifestyle but also the needs of the community especially for people who live in urban areas with a daily work routine. One of the public open spaces is the retention basin called Embung, where people carry out various activities both individually and in groups. Here, Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) as a state university located in South Lampung Regency Lampung Province has several Embungs from Embung A, B, C, D, E, and F. Embung A is the most frequently visit due to its position adjacent to the Terusan Ryacudu street that makes it easy to be accessed not only by ITERA academicians but also by surrounding communities in the morning and afternoon. However, this location which is close to a busy highway makes it potentially get negative impacts from transportation activities, one of which is air pollution. In this research aimed to determine the perceptions of the visitors about the ambient air quality in Embung A. Our research was carried out before the pandemic, more precisely in 2019. The results of the questionnaire found that most of the visitor consider the ambient air quality is in good condition (72%) with more than half of them (59% of the respondent) said that the Embung air quality were important. The statistical analysis results show a significant result (p-value=0.001 < 0.05) between perceptions of air quality with the duration of visits. In conclusion the Embung A visitors have a good perception of Embung’s ambient air quality and its importance. Further research is needed to better understand the motives behind the visit to Embung or other public open space and their relation to other environmental parameters.

Abstract

Solid waste disposal management is a great challenge to be socially accepted in many aspects. Unmanaged landfill is still commonly faced in Indonesia with characteristic of open dumping. Bakung Landfill located in Bandar Lampung It is one of them. The operation of landfill related to manage a facility can be negatively affected to who living near the landfill. Thus, in this study aimed to analyze sociological perspective of Bakung landfill by some influential factors. Here, forty samples had been collected by interviewing respondents with random sampling around 1 to 5 km in distance from landfill where Eight components consist of 35 questions in total were given to respondents. The components are covered a general information such as the existence of landfill, owner management, technology facilities availability, financial, social impact, nuisance, disturbance, and damaging environment. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) as comparison were conducted to identify data. Some statistical tools were done to filter data as quality assurance i.e. validity, reliability, normality and KMO test. Four new components were extracted and named by “facility management”, “pollution”, “financial and convenience”, and “technology to handling”. Facility management and pollution explained the top highest of total variance. CA had similar result with better visualization of the proximity of components. Many literatures supported the fact that unmanaged system in landfill related to the facility management was occurred and the pollution coming from landfill was exist. However, future research regarding institutional perspective and broader area of research need to be conducted to support the issues.
