Analysis of Factors Influencing the Welfare of Fishermen in Lake Sentani, Jayapura Regency
This study examines the socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Lake Sentani, Jayapura Regency, with a focus on challenges and local wisdom-based strategies to improve their welfare. Lake Sentani, as a major natural resource, has great potential in the fisheries and tourism sectors, but fishermen face problems such as resource exploitation, pollution, and limited access to technology. This study used multiple regression analysis. The results show a dependence on traditional fishing, low productivity, and capital and marketing constraints. Factors such as education, experience, capital, and access to facilities significantly influence fishermen's welfare. Existing fisheries policies remain weak in terms of socialization and oversight. To improve welfare, income diversification, technology adoption, and capacity building for fishermen are needed. Local wisdom-based strategies include pollution management, zoning management, business literacy, and the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable local fisheries value chain-based business models. Collaboration between business actors and digital technology is crucial to expanding markets and improving fishermen's welfare.⁠

Analysis of Regional-Based Fisheries Potential Development Strategies in Papua
Large capture-fisheries and aquaculture potential in Papua Province has yet to meet the reality of regional development based on fisheries, due to infrastructure gaps, limited value-added processing, weak institutions, and continuous external risks. This study assesses the regional-based fisheries potential development strategy in Papua Province to increase coastal community welfare without compromising resource sustainability. Secondary data from the period of 2003–2024 are combined with stakeholder inputs from surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions and analyzed by using a SWOT framework supported by IFAS–EFAS weighting to identify strategic priorities. The mean IFAS score revealed that internal strengths (3.27) outweighed weaknesses (1.53), largely attributed to abundant fish resources, emerging fishing/processing technologies, government support, market potential, and local wisdom of coastal areas. Results from EFAS revealed that the mean opportunities (3.16) outweigh threats (1.81), particularly export demand, progress in technology, government programs, and digital marketing prospects, although illegal fishing, overfishing pressures, climate variability, and conflict over fishing grounds remained the key concerns. The position here is in the first quadrant, denoting an area where the fishery can grow well and indicates the need to focus more on Strength-Opportunity (SO) plans involving the optimization of export-directed manufacturing, the enhancement of fish processing facilities to increase value addition to fish, and the use of e-commerce and online marketing, as well as the use of local economic institutions to improve fish distribution, and the development of networks based on local culture to ensure superior processed fish products.

Attributing Climate vs. Land-Cover Effects on Watershed Hydrology and Water Quality: A Systematic Review of Modeling and Statistical Frameworks
Climate change and land-use/land-cover (LULC) dynamics jointly reshape watershed hydrology and water quality, yet their relative contributions remain difficult to isolate across regions, indicators, and methods. This systematic review synthesizes 28 peer-reviewed studies (2000–2025) that explicitly attribute or partition climate and LULC effects on streamflow, water yield, evapotranspiration, baseflow, and multiple water-quality indicators (e.g., nutrients, sediments, dissolved organic matter, salinity/alkalinity, and contaminant mixtures). Studies were grouped into four synthesis themes: (i) conceptualizations and study designs, (ii) process-based and hybrid modeling frameworks, (iii) statistical and decomposition approaches, and (iv) cross-context patterns and water-quality attribution. Across the evidence base, attribution outcomes are strongly conditioned by methodological choices—especially baseline definition, construction of climate-only and LULC-only counterfactuals, spatial and temporal scale, and the metric used to express contributions (e.g., scenario contrasts, sensitivities, or variance explained). Long-term water-balance responses are often attributed primarily to climate forcing, while water-quality outcomes are more frequently attributed to LULC and direct anthropogenic pressures, with climate acting as a key modulator of transport pathways and exposure. We conclude that robust climate–LULC attribution requires explicit counterfactual design, integrated use of process-based and data-driven frameworks, explicit representation of interactions, and routine uncertainty analysis to support context-sensitive watershed management and climate adaptation.

Riparian Buffers, Connectivity, and Water Quality: A Systematic Review of Land‑Use Gradients in Agro‑Urban Watersheds
Agro‑urban watersheds combine intensive agriculture, expanding settlements, and modified drainage networks that jointly accelerate nutrient, sediment, and thermal pressures on streams. Riparian buffers are widely promoted as nature‑based infrastructure to intercept these pressures, yet reported effectiveness varies because pollutant delivery is mediated by hydrologic and ecological connectivity. This systematic review synthesizes international evidence on how riparian buffer attributes (width, vegetation structure, and integrity) interact with land‑use gradients and connectivity metrics to influence water‑quality indicators (chemical, physical, thermal, and biological). The synthesis shows consistent degradation of water quality with increasing land‑use intensity, but with strong context dependence driven by scale, storm routing, and pathway bypass. Buffers most reliably reduce pollutants when dominant surface and shallow subsurface flowpaths intersect buffer soils; uniform width prescriptions are therefore insufficient without connectivity diagnostics and input‑load context. We further find growing use of graph‑based and hydrologic connectivity measures to prioritize riparian corridors and identify hotspots where restoration can yield the highest water‑quality returns. The review concludes with connectivity‑informed design and planning implications to support water‑quality protection in agro‑urban watersheds.

From Bottle to Tap: A Systematic Review of Interventions That Shift Beverage Intake from Sugar-Sweetened and Bottled Drinks to Tap Water
Rising consumption of bottled water and sugar-sweetened beverages poses challenges for health, environmental sustainability, and equity in access to safe drinking water. This systematic review examines interventions promoting a shift from bottled drinks to tap or plain water, focusing on behavioral mechanisms and impacts on health, nutrition, and the environment. Studies reviewed included diverse settings and methodologies, assessing outcomes related to beverage intake and associated indicators. Successful interventions combined infrastructure improvements, such as hydration stations, with education and policy changes favoring tap water. Behavioral responses were influenced by perceptions of safety and taste, while socio-economic and demographic factors affected effectiveness. Interventions generally led to reduced consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and increased tap-water intake, with evidence of improved health outcomes in high-risk populations. Modelling studies anticipated significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and resource use by substituting tap water for bottled beverages. The review concludes that well-designed interventions can foster healthier beverage systems but calls for longer-term assessments that encompass health, environmental, and equity outcomes.

Environmental Governance for Sustainable Tourism in Socio-Ecological Systems: A Systematic Literature Review
Tourism destinations are increasingly understood as socio-ecological systems (SES) where ecological dynamics, livelihoods, and institutions interact through feedback loops. This systematic literature review synthesises evidence on how environmental governance shapes sustainable tourism trajectories in tourism-dependent SES and highlights gaps for future research. Peer-reviewed journal articles (2000–2025) were identified through structured searches in major databases and complementary searches, then screened using predefined eligibility criteria and appraised for methodological quality using a mixed-methods-appropriate tool [9]. Forty-six studies were retained for narrative thematic synthesis. The evidence indicates that governance in tourism SES is commonly hybrid—combining hierarchical regulation, market mechanisms, and community participation—and is implemented through instrument mixes such as zoning, permitting, environmental standards, economic incentives, and stakeholder forums. Across protected areas, coastal zones, rural landscapes, and urban destinations, collaborative arrangements (e.g., co-management and community-based models) are more frequently linked with biodiversity protection, improved habitat condition, and livelihood diversification than fragmented or investor-dominated regimes [1], [2], [3]. However, outcomes vary substantially and are mediated by enforcement capacity, institutional coherence, perceived legitimacy, and distributional fairness [4], [5]. The review also shows an expanding methodological toolkit (remote sensing, composite indices, modelling), but persistent gaps in longitudinal designs and in indicators that capture equity, resilience, and linked human–environment risks [6], [7]. Overall, sustainable tourism in SES requires adaptive, cross-scale, and equity-oriented governance that can learn from monitoring and address power asymmetries.

Low-Carbon Pathways in Solid Waste Management: A Systematic Review of Carbon Footprint and GHG Mitigation across Technologies and Regions
Carbon footprinting and greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting are now widely applied to solid waste management (SWM), yet evidence remains fragmented across technologies, waste streams, and regional contexts. This systematic literature review synthesizes 50 Scopus-indexed journal articles (2017–2025) that quantify the carbon outcomes of SWM options using life-cycle assessment, carbon accounting, and sce-nario modeling. We compare methodological choices (functional units, boundaries, impact methods, avoided burdens), benchmark core treatment technologies (landfilling, incineration/WtE, composting, anaerobic digestion, mechanical-biological treatment), assess circular pathways (recycling, substitution, eco-design), and identify regionally differentiated transition archetypes shaped by governance and ener-gy-system decarbonization. Across studies, technology rankings are highly sensitive to methane dynamics, landfill gas capture and oxidation, grid emission factors, and substitution assumptions. Circular strategies frequently deliver the largest net savings when high-quality sorting and credible displacement of virgin production are achieved, while WtE benefits are context-dependent and generally increase in fossil-intensive grids. The review proposes an integrative comparison framework that links method choices to technology performance and regional pathway feasibility, providing more comparable, decision-relevant evidence for low-carbon SWM planning.

The Potential of Forestry Sector Waste for Biochar Production: Characteristics and Production Challenges
Timber harvesting has long been the primary focus of forest utilization as a major economic resource, yet more efficient strategies are needed to reduce excessive logging by implementing measured harvesting and maximizing the use of all wood components. Branches, logging residues, sawmill by-products, and discarded wooden furniture remain underutilized and are often treated as waste. These materials have high potential to be converted into value-added products such as biochar. Forestry waste is particularly suitable as a feedstock for biochar due to its lignocellulosic richness. Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced through pyrolysis. Biochar derived from forestry waste has significant potential to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity, while also contributing to long-term carbon storage and climate change mitigation. However, challenges remain, including variability in biochar quality, absence of global standards, high production costs, contaminant risks, and limited formal guidelines.

Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Fashion Marketing
This study performs a thorough bibliometric analysis of sustainable fashion marketing to investigate its intellectual framework, thematic progression, and international research collaborations. The study utilizes data from the Scopus database, evaluated with VOSviewer and Bibliometrix, to identify predominant themes, significant publications, notable authors, and developing research clusters. The findings indicate that sustainability, marketing, consumer behavior, and fast fashion are key to contemporary research, whereas circular economy, green marketing, and digital communication are emerging fields of study. Collab​orat‌ion maps indica​te signifi‌cant contrib​utions from the United Kingdom,‌ United St‌ates, Chi‌n⁠a, Indi‌a, a‌n⁠d‍ several Europea​n and Asi⁠an nations. T‍he⁠ find​ings indicate a⁠ distinct transitio‍n fr‍om industry-‍c‌entric sustainability dialogues to​ con​sumer-ori​ente‍d and t⁠echnology-driven market‌ing studies. This study provides significant insights for scholars and professionals, highlighting potential avenues such digital sustainability communication, circular fashion initiatives, and cross-cultural consumer analysis.
The Social Pillar of ESG: A Bibliometric Mapping of Diversity, Inclusion, and Human Capital Research (2000–2025)
This study​ pre‍sents a bibliom⁠etric ana​lysi‍s of​ research pert​aining t​o t​h‍e social dimension o‍f Environmental, Social, and Governa​nce (E‍SG⁠), emph‌asiz⁠ing div​ersity, i​nclusivenes‌s, a​nd human capit⁠al⁠ f​rom 20‍00 to 20‍25. The study anal​yzes pu⁠blication trends, pr‌ominent au⁠thors, institutions, and count​ries, alongside co-authorship, co-citation, and ke⁠ywo⁠rd co-occurrence networ⁠ks, utilizing dat‍a sourced from important​ scholarly‍ databases‍ and exam​ine⁠d with VOSv‍iewer and associated technologies. The fin​dings indic​a⁠te tha‍t‍ the domain is structur⁠ed around a centr​al cluster o‌f ESG⁠, su​stai‍n​ability, susta‍i⁠nable⁠ d‌evelopment,‍ c​o‍rporate social responsibility, and ESG performa‌nc​e, from​ wh⁠ich specialized themes‍ such as s‌ocial disclosure, c​orporate⁠ g⁠overnance, s‍u​s​tainabl‌e f‌i⁠nan‍ce, and human capi⁠t‍al developme⁠nt arise‌. National and instit​utional maps illustrate extensive collab‍orative networks cent​ere‍d⁠ around Europe​an and Asian hubs. The stud‍y theoret​ically⁠ illus‌tr‍at⁠es that the social pillar is a⁠ multi-faceted constr⁠uct tha‌t connects divers⁠ity, wo‍rkp​lace practices​,​ an⁠d‍ h⁠uman capital to or​gan⁠iza⁠tio‍nal perf⁠orman​ce,⁠ stabili‍ty‌, and legi‌tim‌acy, despi​t‌e‌ the‍ cu​r‌rent‍ research being fr​agmen‍ted‍ and​ inconsistent across many countries and secto⁠rs. T⁠he‌ paper finishes by di​scus‍sing‍ i⁠mplications for man‌age‌rs, inve​stors, an​d⁠ g​overnments,‌ and presents a research agenda f​ocused on the social aspect‍ of ESG.
