  • Future Sustainable Development
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2022)

    Future Sustainable Development refers to the collective efforts and strategies aimed at achieving long-term environmental, social, and economic well-being while preserving and protecting the planet's natural resources for future generations. It involves adopting innovative and responsible practices that promote harmony between human activities and the natural world.

  • Environmental Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
    Vol. 1 No. 2 (2022)

    The environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been both profound and complex. The global crisis has led to widespread changes in human activity, resulting in significant shifts in environmental conditions and patterns. This description explores the environmental dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic, shedding light on the various aspects and implications for the natural world.

  • Environmental Protection
    Vol. 2 No. 1 (2023)

    Environmental protection plays a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of ecosystems and addressing sustainability concerns. In Indonesia, a diverse country with rich natural resources, several key environmental issues pose significant challenges to achieving effective environmental protection. This article will explore some of these issues and highlight the approaches being undertaken to promote environmental conservation in the country.

  • Importance of Public Health and Waste Management
    Vol. 2 No. 2 (2023)

    Uncontrolled dumping and improper waste handling can lead to a myriad of health issues. Piles of waste can be breeding grounds for pests like rats and mosquitoes which can transmit diseases. Harmful chemicals from waste can also affect the quality of air, leading to respiratory issues among the population.

  • Mitigation Strategies for Sustainable Infrastructure: Balancing Development and Environmental Stewardship
    Vol. 3 No. 1 (2024)

    The growing awareness of environmental challenges has brought the need for effective mitigation strategies to the forefront of infrastructure development. As global populations increase and urban areas expand, the infrastructure that supports these developments must be designed and operated with sustainability in mind. The Journal of Sustainable Infrastructure (JSI), in its inaugural issue (Vol. 3, No. 1), seeks to address the critical importance of mitigating environmental impacts in the planning, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure projects.

    Mitigating environmental impacts is not just a matter of regulatory compliance; it is essential for preserving the ecosystems and resources that future generations will depend on. Infrastructure projects, whether they involve transportation networks, energy systems, or water management, have the potential to significantly alter natural landscapes, contribute to pollution, and deplete non-renewable resources. Therefore, it is imperative that sustainability principles guide every stage of infrastructure development.

    This issue of JSI brings together research and case studies that highlight innovative approaches to minimizing the environmental footprint of infrastructure projects. From the use of sustainable materials and renewable energy sources to advanced planning techniques that incorporate environmental considerations from the outset, the articles in this volume provide valuable insights into how we can build infrastructure that meets today’s needs without compromising the environment for future generations.

    As we face the realities of climate change and resource scarcity, the role of sustainable infrastructure becomes increasingly important. The research presented in this inaugural issue of JSI underscores the necessity of integrating environmental mitigation into the core of infrastructure development practices, offering pathways to achieve the balance between human progress and environmental stewardship.

  • Advances and Challenges in Sustainable Infrastructure
    Vol. 3 No. 2 (2024)

    Welcome to Volume 3, Issue No. 2 of the JSI Journal of Sustainable Infrastructure. This issue brings together a diverse collection of research that explores the dynamic field of sustainable infrastructure from multiple perspectives, addressing current advances and ongoing challenges in this critical area of development.

    In this edition, we delve into a variety of themes, ranging from innovative approaches in wastewater treatment and risk assessment in industrial processes to the implementation of green building certifications and their impacts on construction practices globally. Each article contributes to our understanding of how sustainable practices can be effectively integrated across different sectors and geographic contexts.

    Highlighted in this issue are papers such as "Exploring Strategies to Overcome Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Review" by Sofiyah et al., which provides a comprehensive review of current strategies and future directions for reducing antibiotic resistance in environmental settings. Similarly, "Work Accident Risk Assessment in Hot Rolled Coil Production with the Failure Mode, Effect, and Criticality Analysis" by Sari et al., offers insights into enhancing safety and sustainability in heavy industry through meticulous risk assessments.

    We also feature a significant study by Unegbu on "Evaluating the Influence of Green Building Certifications on Construction Practices in Nigeria," which examines the impact of sustainable building standards on local construction methodologies, aiming to foster broader adoption of eco-friendly practices in the developing world.

    The contributions in this issue underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and collaboration in advancing the goals of sustainable infrastructure, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting thorough and impactful research that not only informs but also inspires action towards sustainability in infrastructure development.

    We hope that the research presented in this volume serves as a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in the quest for sustainable infrastructure solutions that meet the needs of present and future generations.

    Enjoy your reading, and thank you for your continued support of the JSI Journal of Sustainable Infrastructure.
