Meanwhile, settlements in Salomenraleng Subdistrict have relatively good infrastructure, but face drainage issues requiring further attention. This research recommends the implementation of adaptive, healthy, and productive housing through construction and infrastructure improvements, as well as specialized management for floating houses. The findings of this study have been published in an international journal and presented at an international seminar, with a proposed Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of TRL 2, signifying concept formulation.

This research undertakes a fire disaster risk analysis within the densely populated Jongaya Village, a location identified as highly vulnerable to such events. The study aims to determine the level of threat, vulnerability, and settlement capacity in relation to fire disasters, with a specific focus on building characteristics. Indicators analyzed include building material, size, floor count, and density. Utilizing descriptive, quantitative, spatial, and weighting analyses, the research reveals that the study area is characterized by high building density, predominantly permanent structures, and a significant fire risk, with a vulnerability percentage of 67%. Building distribution is concentrated in the northern, eastern, and southern regions. Consequently, the study emphasizes non-structural mitigation strategies to enhance community awareness and preparedness, fostering resilience and minimizing panic during fire incidents. The primary objective is to cultivate a community capable of effectively responding to and mitigating fire disasters.

This research assesses the effectiveness of the National Amil Zakat Agency's (BAZNAS) livable housing program for low-income populations, addressing the persistent issue of housing backlogs in Indonesia. Specifically, the study evaluates beneficiary satisfaction in Enrekang Regency, where the program commenced in 2016, through a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data from observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis employs descriptive qualitative analysis, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), and the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). Findings reveal that while the overall beneficiary satisfaction rate is 94%, indicating high program effectiveness, the implementation process, encompassing proposal submission, verification, execution, direct distribution, and evaluation, requires optimization. Key priority indicators for beneficiaries include procedural ease and the sufficiency of construction assistance. Notably, the lowest effectiveness scores pertain to the provision of adequate bathing, washing, and sanitation facilities (74%) and the assurance of healthy housing with sufficient lighting and ventilation (87%). Consequently, the study highlights the need for targeted improvements in these areas to enhance the program's overall efficacy.

This study examines the characteristics, industrial impacts, and settlement arrangement directions for the self-help settlements located within a two-kilometer radius of the largest cement industrial area in Eastern Indonesia, situated in Biringere Village, Pangkep Regency. The research objectives are threefold: (1) to identify the socio-spatial characteristics of the settlements and communities; (2) to assess the industrial impacts on these communities; and (3) to propose settlement arrangement directions for mitigating adverse effects. Data were collected through interviews, field surveys, questionnaires, and agency consultations. Analytical methods employed include qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis, spatial analysis, and cross-tabulation. The findings reveal: (1) building orientations predominantly facing roads, with permanent construction dominating (37%), family/private land ownership, and private home ownership; a significant portion of dwellings are located within one kilometer of the industry, and settlement expansion occurred at a rate of 1.41% between 2013 and 2023; (2) social interaction is generally established (69%), with 49% of residents experiencing employment opportunities and income increases, while 51% do not; PT. Semen Tonasa provides infrastructural support, including schools, hospitals, and mosques. However, residents report dust pollution, ground vibrations, noise, and health issues such as coughing and skin irritation; and (3) recommended settlement arrangement directions include the development of an enhanced Green Belt with recreational facilities and the empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to reduce unemployment.

Lonrae Village, situated in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, is a disaster-prone slum characterized by significant infrastructural deficiencies, including inadequate road networks, drainage systems, potable water access, wastewater management, solid waste disposal, and fire protection. The population, primarily engaged in fisheries, exhibits low educational attainment and income levels, compounded by ineffective community engagement. Despite the substantial fisheries potential of the Lonrae coast, the settlement's vulnerability remains critically high. This study aimed to identify the slum's characteristics, assess settlement vulnerability, and develop quality improvement strategies. Employing quantitative, qualitative, and SWOT analyses, the research determined that effective strategies necessitate the enhancement of basic residential infrastructure, the development of mangrove ecosystems, the empowerment of disaster-prepared communities to mitigate disaster impacts, and the economic empowerment of women through business group development.

The aim of this study is to understand the pathomechanism of this disease and to map the interaction and transmission patterns between cattle and humans using a One Health approach. This research aligns with the Strategic Plan and Research Roadmap of Hasanuddin University (Unhas), particularly under the medical complex cluster which focuses on addressing infectious diseases as one of Unhas’ flagship research areas for the 2020–2024 period. In 2024, this research began with the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cow’s milk in Enrekang Regency, revealing a positivity rate of over 40%. However, the presence of Mycobacterium bovis, the primary causative agent of bTB, has yet to be confirmed. Thus, the 2025 research will focus on the isolation and identification of M. bovis using commercial diagnostic kits (Interferon-Gamma Release Assay), acid-fast bacilli staining (Ziehl-Neelsen method), DNA extraction, and molecular detection through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Additionally, surveillance and mapping of bTB transmission potential in Enrekang Regency will be conducted. The research will also examine the production performance and health of dairy cattle, as well as the quality of milk and dairy products, to ensure local food safety. One key health aspect to be studied is the potential of M. bovis to infect the mammary glands, which could significantly impact farmers due to prolonged milk contamination rendering it unsuitable for consumption. The specific objectives are to provide awareness and education to farmers and the general public about the zoonotic potential of bTB and to propose mitigation efforts for disease transmission from animals to humans, while also improving the quality and safety of milk and its derivatives. The research findings on the epidemiology and characteristics of bTB in dairy cattle are expected to contribute significantly to scientific knowledge and form the basis for the development of advanced diagnostic tools and treatments in the future.

This Academic Advisor Lecturer Research (PDPA) project, aligning with Unhas's vision as a center for maritime-based science and technology and the Regional and Urban Planning (PWK) program's research themes, investigates the development of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient housing and settlements. Specifically, the research focuses on Lakkang Island, Makassar, aiming to analyze its physical and non-physical settlement conditions and develop an integrated settlement arrangement concept that supports sustainable tourism, grounded in local wisdom. The methodology employs a multi-stage approach, commencing with secondary data collection (administrative, geographical, and demographic). Subsequently, primary data is gathered through observation, mapping of settlement infrastructure, land use, physical and non-physical conditions, and assessment of natural and human resource potential. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and open interviews are conducted to ascertain community needs, interests, and desires regarding tourism development. Data from site visits, interviews, and field documentation are then processed and interpreted. The culminating stage involves the production of a report detailing the proposed settlement arrangement concept for sustainable tourism, rooted in Lakkang Island's local wisdom. Research outputs include a publication in the national scientific journal IPLBI and PKM Proposals.

This study investigates the interplay between coastal economic activities, disaster vulnerability, and infrastructure needs in Ujung Lero Hamlet, Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi. The coastal area supports diverse economic activities, including salt farming, aquaculture, and fishing, but faces significant risks from coastal abrasion, impacting local economic development. The research objectives were to: (1) analyze settlement characteristics and coastal disaster threats to local economic conditions; (2) assess infrastructure needs for remote coastal settlements; (3) examine community participation and socio-economic resilience against disaster risks; and (4) conceptualize infrastructure development for coastal settlement mitigation to support a service-based economy. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and interviews with fishing groups, and analyzed using descriptive comparative methods, SPSS, scoring, and SWOT analysis. Results indicate that coastal housing in Lero Village is disaster-prone, and infrastructure supporting local service and economic activities is inadequate, with a 46% overall condition rating. Specifically, fish drying, fish auction sites, ship repair, ice, and fuel procurement facilities are rated poorly, while road networks are rated favorably. An aggressive maintenance strategy, focusing on infrastructure optimization and development using a Weakness-Opportunity (W-O) approach, is recommended. The proposed development concept emphasizes livable settlements with wind-resistant housing, community-based disaster response groups, and human resource development to support tourism and economic diversification.

The primary objectives are threefold: (1) to characterize settlements engaged in tourism activities within the Rammang-Rammang Karst Area; (2) to identify factors contributing to the social, cultural, and economic resilience of local communities through tourism; and (3) to develop a conceptual framework for adaptive settlement arrangements that support Rammang-Rammang Nature Tourism as a World Heritage site, based on local characteristics. Data will be processed using SPSS and analyzed through descriptive comparative methods.

This research investigates the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) on competitive advantage, environmental performance, and the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The findings indicate that GSCM has a significant positive effect on competitive advantage, which in turn significantly enhances both environmental performance and SME performance. However, the direct effects of GSCM on environmental performance and SME performance are not significant. Competitive advantage is found to be a full mediator in the relationship between GSCM and SME performance, while environmental performance does not mediate this relationship. These findings underscore the importance of competitive advantage as a key factor in driving SME performance through the implementation of GSCM.

This study examines the impact of structural transformation on economic growth in industrial regions of Indonesia and explores the moderating role of dynamic capabilities, particularly through human capital quality and technological innovation. Structural transformation, characterized by a shift from traditional sectors such as agriculture to more productive sectors like manufacturing and services, is crucial for long-term economic development. However, Indonesia faces challenges such as premature deindustrialization, where the contribution of the industrial sector to GDP declines before reaching advanced economic maturity.

Using a fixed effects panel data model, this research assesses the relationship between structural transformation and economic growth, including interactions to test whether dynamic capabilities can enhance this relationship. The findings reveal that while structural transformation alone does not significantly drive economic growth, dynamic capabilities such as human capital quality and innovation capacity play an important role in maximizing its benefits. However, the expected positive moderating effects of dynamic capabilities are not fully realized, indicating that policies targeting workforce skills, technological innovation, and infrastructure improvement are still needed.

This study aims to identify the main themes in building the concept of quality in weaving  micro/small/medium enterprises (MSMEs). Using the systematic literature review method and Theo Van Leeuwen's social semiotic theory, this study interprets the meaning of traditional weaving based on the region of origin, interpretation of sign readers, and exchange of meaning through semiotic resources.

Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with weavers and other stakeholders. The results of the study indicate that quality in weaving MSMEs can be interpreted as:

1. Commitment to continual process improvement,
2. Honesty and respect for culture and nature,
3. Reputation,
4. Investment in human resources (HR),Synergy, and Compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

The Total Quality Management (TQM) approach is considered less effective for weaving MSMEs due to the simplicity of their governance. However, the quality aspect remains closely related to HR, production, and management. In addition, mastery of information technology by MSME managers can strengthen the meaning of quality in organizational culture, improve performance, and encourage sustainable competitive advantage.

To fight the COVID-19 pandemic, immunity against SARS-CoV-2 should be achieved not only through natural infection but also by vaccination. The effect of COVID-19 vaccination on previously infected persons is debatable. Methods: A prospective cohort was undergone to collect sera from unvaccinated survivors and vaccinated persons—with and without COVID-19 pre-infection. The sera were analyzed for the anti-receptor binding domain (RBD) titers by ELISA and for the capacity to neutralize the pseudovirus of the Wuhan-Hu-1 strain by luciferase assays. Vaccination with whole-inactivated vaccines does not increase the antibody titer against RBD in individuals with pre-existing immunity. Moreover, the viral neutralization capacity of vaccine serum is relatively low compared with that of the convalescent serum. However, the vaccine may be crucial in preventing the disease among people without an infection history.
