Athallah Akhyar Reswara — 2024-10-01

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a global effort to achieve sustainable prosperity for all, with a strong focus on the quality of the next generation, particularly the youth. The future of a nation is closely tied to the quality of its young population. Early adulthood is a crucial period for determining career paths and life goals, which directly impact personal development and self-quality. One of the critical challenges faced during this period is the quarter life crisis (QLC), characterized by confusion over life purpose. In Indonesia, data shows that more than half of youth experience QLC, typically occurring between the ages of 18 and 35. This study aims to explore the factors influencing a sense of purpose to offer effective strategies for addressing the quarter life crisis. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with non-probability sampling and survey methods. The sample consisted of 196 respondents (71.7% female and 28.3% male). Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 8.0 software.

Yus Andhini Bhekti Pertiwi — 2024-10-01

Global climate change has become an urgent issue affecting land quality, especially forest areas. Forests are important in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon and storing greenhouse gases. Community forests, which are managed by communities on private land, have great potential to reduce carbon emissions. However, community forest management is still suboptimal due to limited knowledge of the application of effective silvicultural techniques. This study aims to provide recommendations for community forest management by intensifying silvicultural techniques, such as plant spacing and plant species selection, to reduce fire risk and support climate change mitigation. The method used was a systematic review of 30 relevant scientific articles. The literature used came from books and national and international journal articles accessed through Google Scholar, Springer and ScienceDirect databases. Articles were selected through a selection process based on the relevance of the title, abstract, and overall content. The results showed that a planting distance of 4×4 meters or 4×3 meters is the most optimal for tree growth and allows the implementation of an agroforestry system. In addition, plant species such as Swietenia macrophylla and Gliricidia sepium proved effective as fire barriers due to their evergreen characteristics that can reduce the amount of litter as fire fuel. In conclusion, intensive silvicultural techniques can increase the effectiveness of community forest management in sequestering carbon, reducing the risk of forest fires, and supporting climate change mitigation efforts. This research provides recommendations that community forest managers can apply to improve environmental sustainability.
