Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the social and environmental conditions. People should stay at home for self-isolation and social distancing to avoid the spread of Covid-19. People tend to have more plants at home associated with psychological impact during self-isolation. This study aimed to describe having more plants during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. A nationwide cross-sectional survey involving an online survey was carried out of an Indonesian population-based sample of 412 respondents from 26 provinces, considered demographic, social, and behavioral variables. The variable affecting the having plants during the Covid-19 pandemic was analyzed using non-parametric analysis of the Kruskal Wallis test. The result showed that people preferred having more plants during the Covid-19 pandemic to reduce negative emotions and feelings. The majority of the respondents tend to have 1-10 plants and spend around <100 K (IDR) monthly to maintain and buy plants. They think that efforts to maintain were the most challenging in gardening activities. The majority of the respondents had potted plants at home to make their homes greener. The Kruskal Wallis test showed the p-value (>0.05) for all characteristic respondents. Thus, it can be concluded that there was no significant difference regarding the motivation to have planted during the Covid-19 pandemic from characteristic respondents.

Abstract

Serewe Bay is an important area for sustainable fisheries. This information on benthic habitats is important to know for sustainable management. However, at the moment there is no information on the distribution of benthic habitats in Serewe Bay. The research utilizes Sentinel 2A satellite imagery where the image used is obtained through the earthexplorer.usgs.gov website. Image data will be analyzed through several correction analysis processes, namely reflectance correction, sunglint, and water column or Lyzenga in order to obtain an image display that can be used to identify benthic habitats in Serewe Bay. In addition, a field data survey was also carried out to test the accuracy of the results of processing the Sentinel 2A satellite image of Serewe Bay. Image processing results show that there are 3 categories of benthic habitats, namely Seagrass, Sand and Mixed habitats in which there are macroalgae, dead coral, and coral fractures. The results of the field survey and accuracy calculations show that the accuracy of sentinel 2A image processing in Serewe Bay reaches 63.41% with the dominant benthic distribution consisting of seagrass, mixed benthic habitat and sand. Meanwhile, the calculation of the area of important benthic habitats such as seagrass beds in Serewe Bay can reach 156 Ha.

Abstract

Batujai Dam is one of the largest dams in Central Lombok with an area of 890 ha of inundated water. The water from the Batujai Dam is used for irrigation of agricultural land, flood control, freshwater fisheries and the development of micro-hydro power plants. Batujai Dam is also a reservoir for several rivers in Central Lombok, namely:  the Leneng River, the Sade River and the Dodokan River. This function makes the Batujai Dam a place for the accumulation of various forms of pollutants carried by the inlet rivers. Microalgae is one of the ecological parameters that can function as a bioindicator of water quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the water quality in the Batujai Dam in terms of the microalgae diversity index and the measurement of environmental factors. Determination of sampling point and sampling time using purposive sampling method. Measurement of water quality is carried out by determining the diversity index and measuring environmental factors such as pH, temperature, DO, BOD, phosphate and nitrate. Microalgae data for determining the diversity index was analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2010 program. The results showed that the identified microalgae consisted of 5 classes, 16 orders and 40 species. The overall diversity index of microalgae in the Batujai dam is 1.712 with a DO value of 5.09 and a BOD of 4.0175. Based on these data, it can be concluded that the water quality in the Batujai Dam is in an unhealthy condition (lightly polluted). The allotment for the use of water from the Batujai Dam is suitable for freshwater fish farming, livestock and agricultural irrigation, and it is not recommended for drinking water sources and water recreation infrastructure/facilities.
