This study examines the unique characteristics of coastal settlements in Lake Tempe, Wajo Regency, focusing on floating houses in Pallimae Village and flood-prone settlements in Salomenraleng Subdistrict. Floating houses, initially functioning as productive dwellings for fishermen, have evolved into tourist attractions, although their numbers are declining due to government policies and reduced fish catches. 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.

This research aims to develop a management prescription for multifunctional forest landscapes that enhances ecological, social, and economic benefits in Social Forestry areas, with a specific focus on the Abulo Sibatang Community Forest (HKm). The project seeks to improve the compatibility between ecological sustainability (landscape) and community well-being (lifescape), which is currently at a moderate level by restructuring the compatibility of landscape.

The transformation of monoculture pine plantations into multifunctional forests will be achieved through vegetation enrichment using non-timber forest product (NTFP) species, the application of physical conservation techniques, and adaptive management based on the physical and socio-economic characteristics of the area.

This project supports the implementation of Indonesia's Social Forestry policy (Ministerial Regulation No. 9/2021) and aligns with Hasanuddin University's research roadmap and the National Strategic Plan on poverty alleviation and sustainable development. The outcomes are expected to contribute to the development of multifunctional forest management science that integrates ecological goals with community prosperity, in support of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land

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.
