ABSTRACT
The transition to sustainable food systems is one of the main challenges facing national and international action plans. It is estimated that food services and lodging accommodation activities are under pressure in terms of resource consumption and waste generation, and several tools are required to monitor their ecological transition. The present research adopts a semi-systematic and critical review of the current trends in the food service and lodging accommodation industries on a global scale and investigates the real current environmental indicators adopted internationally that can help to assess ecological transition. This research tries to answer the subsequent questions: (i) how has the ecological transition in the food service industry been monitored? and (ii) how has the ecological transition in the lodging accommodation industry been monitored? Our study reviews 66 peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings included in Web of Science between 2015 and 2021. The results were analyzed according to content analysis and co-word analysis. Additionally, we provide a multidimensional measurement dashboard of empirical and theoretical indicators and distinguish between air, water, energy, waste, health, and economic scopes. In light of the co-word analysis, five research clusters were identified in the literature: “food cluster”, “water cluster”, “consumers cluster”, “corporate cluster”, and “energy cluster”. Overall, it emerges that food, water, and energy are the most impacted natural resources in tourism, and users and managers are the stakeholders who must be involved in active monitoring.
ABSTRACT
Clean Ecosystem service measurement model for urban population clean water monitoring Clean water as one of the ecosystem services and also a protected natural asset provides important information about the availability of natural resources for humans in response to the impacts of climate change and overall ecosystem health. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic which was exacerbated by the emergence of low-pressure areas for piped clean water services (PAM water) increasingly shows that if humans destroy biodiversity, it will have implications for other life support systems including clean water. This study identifies aspects of quantity, continuity, and quality (called 3K) of clean water from the piping system in the eastern part of DKI Jakarta, especially in areas with low pressure water supply. Through the Research and Development method, the aim of the study is to build a new model for measuring ecosystem services in monitoring clean water for residents in urban areas. Until the end of the first semester of 2020, the results of the study showed that it was true that there were areas with low pressure, but statistically it was not proven to significantly affect the emergence of complaints in terms of quantity, continuity, and quality of water supply to the population, so more in-depth parameters are needed. regarding the parameters of small water complaints (quantity), dead water (continuity), and piped clean water quality.
ABSTRACT
An effectiveness of the protected or rehabilitated natural assets will provide information on the availability of natural resources to respond to the impacts of climate change and ecosystem health. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic disaster increasingly shows that if humans destroy biodiversity, it also destroys human life-support systems. The purpose of the research to obtain a dynamic-empirical description of the availability of clean water for drinking water for residents in areas exposed to the Covid-19 pandemic as an implementation of an environmental monitoring system for ecosystem services. The research method uses quantitative methods. The results showed that: (1) although the low pressure area affected the number of customer complaints, it was not entirely the main factor that most dominantly affected the number of complaints of small water, dead water, and water quality in the studied area. (2) The results of the R square regression test show the percentage of the influence of low pressure areas on complaints of small water complaints, dead water, and water quality;is below 100%. The conclusion shows that although low water pressure occurs in areas exposed to Covid-19 in DKI Jakarta, it does not always affect customer complaints. This is because low water pressure is not entirely caused by small water, dead water, or water quality. Therefore, the environmental monitoring system for the availability of drinking water for the population as an ecosystem service pays more attention to other parameters besides small water, dead water, and water quality.
