(5/7) Semarang – Tuesday, July 5, 2022, there were first and second Field Visits to places that were case studies in this summer course, including Tambak Lorok and Kampong Bustaman. The visit to Tambak Lorok raised the theme “Resiliency and Adaptation toward Flooding” because Tambak Lorok is a sub-district in North Semarang that is often affected by tidal flooding when the sea is at high tide. In this session, the participants, divided into four groups, conducted observations, interviews, and documentation of the environment and residents around Tambak Lorok. After the activity, each participant made a presentation. From the presentation, the most significant problems experienced by the residents of Tambak Lorok are tidal flooding and waste management. The floods are unpredictable, so residents have to raise their houses every year. However, there are still many of them who do not carry out such renovations due to the lack of existing income, and it has an impact on an unhealthy environment. There was a group that proposes a solution to build a Mangrove Cultivation Center as mitigation from tidal flooding. However, the area has many challenges and changes, but it isn’t easy to sustain due to urban activities.

The next destination in the second Field Visit was Bustaman Village which is famous for its goat curry because it is usually used to slaughter goats which will be processed into a curry. This village was developed by Hari Bustaman, who also sparked the Gebyuran culture about nine years ago and received an award from Raden Saleh. Residents who live in Bustaman Village have mixed ethnicities, including Chinese, Indian, and Arab. Bustaman village also has many MSMEs using biogas as the primary fuel in the production process of MSME products since 2006. Bustaman village is also famous for its hospitality because it always receives guests with a smile which is the village’s icon. However, the slaughtering activity in the village became a discussion among the participants about the impact on the health of the residents around the village.

The Undip Faculty of Engineering is trusted to assist 11 State Universities because it has achieved the corruption-free Regional Integrity Zone (ZI-WBK) title from the Ministry of Empowerment of State Apparatus and State Reform (Ministry of Empowerment of State Apparatus and State Reform) PANRB). With this event, it is hoped that the Faculty of Engineering, Undip and the 11 State Universities can share experiences with each other regarding the implementation of ZI-WBK.
A safe and clean educational environment is the main goal of implementing ZI-WBK. The Corruption-Free Regional Integrity Zone (ZI-WBK) is a predicate given to a work unit that has successfully implemented bureaucratic reform, which has met most of the criteria for the improvement process on the determining component as well as realizing clean and accountable government also excellent public services. The existence of ZI-WBK in universities as educational institutions will have a vital impact on the comfort of all parties, mainly students because universities play an important role in educating the nation’s next generation. A university environment with integrity will help its students to develop much better with transparency and supportive facilities.
Universities that can create a transparent and clean environment also implement the values of ZI-WBK will get “public trust,” said Dr. Chatarina Muliana, S.H., S.E., M.H. as the Inspector General of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology. The public trust that has been successfully built by universities will not only have a good impact on the university’s reputation but will also have a positive impact on the wider scope of the ZI-WBK.

All discussion activities went smoothly and it is hoped that this event will be the main step that can have a big impact on the future of ZI-WBK.
Carbon emission is the biggest issue in the environmental sector. This topic is becoming a global concern in the modern world for creating a cleaner environmental ecosystem. Motorcycles with unclean fuel are going to harm the environment. Indonesia has also committed to achieving net-zero emissions (NZE) or zero carbon emissions by 2060. Certain agencies and third parties have also responded to this commitment, one of which is Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN). This commitment cannot run well if it does not get support from other stakeholders. Therefore, TMMIN also held a national discussion involving three sectors (Triple Helix): the government, academia, and business actors.
Toyota collaborated with Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Semarang, and held a National Seminar with the theme “100 Years of Indonesia Automotive Industry, Realizing Indonesia Net-Zero Emission” in the Prof. building. Sudirman, Semarang, Central Java. The campus was chosen as the right place because Diponegoro University is qualified to prepare the younger generation with access to green movements, including innovation for the future. Cooperation between the triple helix is needed due to the development of electrification vehicles from policymakers, business industry, academics, and the public, especially the younger generation.
“Hopefully, this national seminar could be a stepping stone for comprehensive discussions to help and support Indonesia’s acceleration in achieving the Net-Zero Emission target. It can be achieved through cooperation between educational institutions, the younger generation, and the industrial sector, especially the national automotive industry,” said Warih Andang Tjahjono, President Director of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN), Wednesday (25/05).
Warih explained the actions to reduce emissions through various electrification technology ‘Multi-pathway’ to invite all parties to contribute to reducing carbon emissions. “As a business Industry, we must take an active role in achieving the goal of net zero emission, through environmentally friendly products with multi-pathways,” he explained.
The multi-pathway concept by Toyota does not only about the electrified vehicles, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), or Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV). Implementing the multi-pathway concept must be followed by low-emission engine technologies such as Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent (VVT-I), Dual VVT-I, and others.
Toyota has already produced several products using the concept. BEV considered the pinnacle of electrification, is already present through the Lexus UX300e, and soon, there will be a Toyota bZ4X.
Toyota is also reportedly involved in implementing the Calya EV together with three universities, namely the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS), the University of Indonesia (UI), and the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). “Carbon emissions are the main problem for our environment” Let us make a great movie, everyone has the same opportunity to contribute to reducing carbon emissions. No one left behind,” he said.
In line with the NZE program, Toyota also supports environmentally friendly manufacturing processes known as Green Manufacturing. Hence, Toyota is also committed to eliminating and minimizing the environmental impacts generated by the entire chain of business activities.
