ClearIntegrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Science for Sustainable Lake Conservation: Danu Kerthi in Bali
Researchers investigated how the Danu Kerthi philosophy integrates traditional ecological knowledge with environmental science to support sustainable conservation of three upstream lakes in Bali (Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan). Through qualitative multi-site fieldwork with 30 participants, the study found that this traditional framework continues to function as an effective ethical and governance system for lake ecosystems, though empirical evidence of its ecological effectiveness had been previously limited.
Challenges in Implementing Sustainable Marine Tourism Policy against the Threat of Waste in Coastal Areas
Researchers investigated the challenges of implementing sustainable marine tourism policies against plastic waste pollution at coastal sites in Indonesia, including Kuta Beach, Bali, finding that government policy alone is insufficient and that community participation is essential for effective waste management.
Can Coral Reef Restoration Programmes Facilitate Changes in Environmental Attitudes? A Case Study on a Rural Fisher Community in North Bali, Indonesia
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it is a qualitative study of how a coral reef restoration programme in north Bali, Indonesia influenced environmental attitudes and waste management behaviors among local fishing communities.
Combining the Concept of Green Accounting with the Regulation of Prohibition of Disposable Plastic Use
This qualitative study examined the meaning of green accounting principles in the context of Bali's regulations prohibiting single-use plastics, revealing how local governance and cultural values shape environmental accounting practices.
A holistic approach for tourism carrying capacity estimation in sensitive ecological areas
Researchers developed a holistic framework for estimating tourism carrying capacity in the sensitive coastal ecosystem of Balos Lagoon, a Natura 2000 site in Western Crete. The study combined environmental quality indicators with visitor impact assessments to support sustainable tourism planning in Mediterranean ecosystems facing pressures from pollution and biodiversity loss.
Public Management Model in Marine Pollution Control; A Case Study of Bintan Regency
Researchers assessed public management performance in controlling marine pollution in Bintan Regency, Indonesia — an area affected by recurrent oil spills, marine debris, microplastics, and degraded mangrove and coral reef ecosystems — using a qualitative case study approach. The study proposed an integrated governance model emphasizing strengthened institutional coordination, preventive measures, and accountability mechanisms to improve ecological sustainability and socioeconomic resilience of coastal communities.
Sustainability Status of Pond Aquaculture in Tambakbulusan Village on Social or Cultural Dimension and Legal or Institutional Dimension
This paper is not about microplastics — it assesses the social, cultural, legal, and institutional sustainability dimensions of aquaculture pond management in an Indonesian village.
The Analyzing of Social Economic Impacted By Optimalization Of Recycling Waste As Supported For Circular Economy On Community-Based Tourism In Pasaran Island
Researchers investigated how waste recycling initiatives on Pasaran Island, Indonesia, created alternative livelihoods — particularly for women — finding that optimizing organic and plastic waste management generated approximately 50% profit margins and contributed to improved social and environmental conditions.
Fostering Environmental Stewardship through Mangrove Ecotourism: A Study on Gili Sulat's Educational Impact
Researchers studied the educational impact of mangrove ecotourism at Gili Sulat, Lombok, Indonesia, examining how ecotourism activities foster environmental stewardship among visitors and local communities. Findings suggest that mangrove ecotourism programs can effectively raise ecological awareness and motivate conservation behavior when designed with clear educational goals.
Plastic threats to coral reefs: A strategic management perspective from Bali's marine protected areas
Researchers assessed plastic debris levels in coral reef ecosystems at two marine protected areas in Bali, finding both macroplastics and microplastics present despite their protected status. Coral health was evaluated using underwater photo transects, and plastic particles were identified through Raman spectroscopy. The study highlights that marine protected areas alone are insufficient to prevent plastic pollution from reaching vulnerable reef ecosystems.
Fostering Sustainability through Sport Tourism: Management Strategies in Mandeh Coastal Area, Indonesia
This Indonesian case study developed a sustainable sport tourism management strategy using an integrated framework, addressing the environmental challenges including plastic waste and pollution that threaten natural tourism sites while pursuing economic development goals.
Eco-Sattva: a Buddhist response to the plastic waste crisis in Thailand
Researchers examined how eco-sattva Buddhist principles have been applied to plastic waste management at Wat Chak Daeng temple in Thailand, using interviews with 15 priests, community leaders, and volunteers. The temple's integration of Buddhist teachings with waste collection and recycling programs demonstrated how spiritual and cultural values can successfully motivate community-level plastic pollution reduction.
Green Accounting Practices in Bali’s Hospitality Industry: A Strategic Approach to Sustainable Hotel Management
Researchers examined green accounting practices in ten major hotels in Bali's hospitality industry, focusing on environmental protection, waste management, eco-friendly purchasing, and energy conservation using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. The study found that implementing green accounting as a strategic approach enables hotels to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability while responding to increasing regulatory and market pressures.

It highlights cultural and governance dimensions of plastic pollution responses in coastal Indonesia.
Analysis of Waste Bank Management Model Around Lake Tondano Tourism Object in Supporting Sustainable Tourism Development
Researchers qualitatively studied the waste bank management model operating around Lake Tondano tourism sites in Sulawesi, Indonesia, examining how the system functions as a mechanism for sustainable tourism development and plastic waste reduction. They found that while waste banks provide a community-based framework for plastic collection and recycling, gaps in coverage and participation limit their effectiveness in preventing plastic from entering the lake ecosystem, including via microplastic pathways into fish.
