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.
Water Pollution of Some Major Riversin Indonesia: The Status, Institution, Regulation,and Recommendation for Its Mitigation
This review examines water pollution in four major Indonesian rivers, analyzing the status of contamination, institutional frameworks, and regulatory responses. Researchers found that rapid population growth and industrialization have left only 73% of Indonesians with access to safe water, with heavy metals, organic pollutants, and plastic waste among the key contaminants. The study recommends integrated approaches combining stronger enforcement, community engagement, and improved waste management to mitigate river pollution.
Analyzing The Implementation of Green-Economy Inclusive Strategy in East Java Province Through Urban Good Governance in Green-Economy Framework: The Case of Surabaya
Researchers analysed the implementation of a green-economy strategy in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia using a qualitative-descriptive approach and thematic analysis, evaluating four dimensions — decision-making, implementation capacity, green economy systems, and socio-ecological factors — to derive a replicable development strategy.
People’s Perception of Pollution of Communities and Ecosystems: A Qualitative Study in Kuala Kedah, Malaysia
A qualitative study in Kuala Kedah, Malaysia explored how local community members perceive environmental pollution and its effects on their health and surrounding ecosystem. Participants demonstrated awareness of plastic waste as a major pollution source but reported limited institutional support for addressing it.
Improvement of Waste Management Through Community Awareness of Plastic Controlling in Garang Watershed, Semarang City, Indonesia
This study examined how communities around the Garang watershed in Indonesia manage plastic waste, finding that more than 66 tons are produced annually — yet less than 40% is properly recycled. Most waste is burned or dumped in vacant land and rivers, highlighting the need for stronger local institutions and community participation to reduce plastic pollution.
Ecofeminist Empowerment: In Preserving the Musi River Waters of Palembang City in 2023
This qualitative study applied an ecofeminist lens to conservation efforts for the Musi River in Palembang, Indonesia, examining how gender and environmental perspectives intersect in community water protection activities. The findings showed that women-led ecofeminist approaches contributed meaningfully to river conservation outcomes.

This paper (in Indonesian) describes a community empowerment program in a village in East Java helping residents manage and find economic value in plastic waste. The program is a grassroots approach to reducing plastic pollution by turning waste into a resource.
Analysis of Community Social Capital Inclusiveness Towards Waste Pollution Prevention by Shrimp Farming Company: A Case Study of Waste Pollution in Pasir Kuning Beach Area
This qualitative study examined how community social capital in a shrimp farming area in Indonesia could be mobilized to prevent wastewater pollution from local aquaculture operations. Addressing pollution from aquaculture is relevant to reducing plastic and chemical contamination in coastal marine environments.
Peran Masyarakat Akar Rumput dalam Menangani Permasalahan Sampah Galon Sekali Pakai
This Indonesian-language study examines the role of grassroots community organizations in managing the growing plastic waste problem posed by single-use disposable water gallons, analyzing community networks and the challenges they face in influencing producer behavior and policy.
The impact of environmental management on the growth of the bottled water industry in Indonesia (Case study: sales of disposable gallons)
This study investigated how environmental management practices affect plastic waste generation and microplastic pollution associated with agricultural and industrial operations. The findings suggest that stronger environmental governance leads to measurable reductions in plastic waste entering natural systems.
Affecting Factors on Community Based Mangrove Replantation Programs in Semarang Coastal Area
This study examined community-based mangrove replanting programs in Semarang, Indonesia, exploring how climate change and stakeholder dynamics affect participation. It is an environmental management study not focused on microplastics.
Exploring the Impact of River Pollution on Environmental Health in Central Java - Indonesia: A Narrative Literature Review and Sustainable Management Strategies
This narrative review synthesizes research on river pollution impacts in Central Java, Indonesia, identifying domestic waste, agricultural runoff, and industrial discharge — including microplastics — as primary drivers of water quality degradation and health risks.
Integrating 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.
Waste Management in Batu City through the Perspective of Good Environmental Governance
Researchers evaluated waste management governance in Batu City, Indonesia by comparing two village-level waste facilities (TPS 3R Temas Sae and TPS 3R Dadaprejo), assessing their management structures and potential for development toward ideal good environmental governance principles.
A flowing crisis and its human toll: Addressing environmental challenges in contaminated river systems
This paper examines the environmental challenges facing the Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia, which supplies water to over 30 million people but is heavily contaminated by industrial effluents, domestic waste, microplastics, and agricultural runoff. Water quality measurements across the 300 km river showed significant variation in key indicators, underscoring the human health toll of sustained industrial and domestic pollution.
