The findings show institution, law and regulation, finance, awareness and capacity building, technology, research and development, information, collaboration, market, geography proximity, environmental issues and industry structure affect the formation of industrial symbiosis. This paper aims to examine the factors influencing the development of industrial symbiosis from various countries to supports such networks to evolve in Pasir Gudang. There is a lack of concerted efforts to look into the drivers and barriers of industrial symbiosis across different cases. As industrial symbiosis is an emerging new approach, with a short history of two decades, a lot of researches are generally focused on narrow context and technical details. However, there are numerous cases of failure too. Mainly, there are successful cases of industrial symbiosis practices around the world. Many experts and international organizations suggest the concept of industrial symbiosis. Industries, particularly in developing and transitional nations such as Malaysia, are in need of a reform. It calls for harmonizing robust economic growth with environment protection. Green industry has been identified as an important element in attaining greater sustainability. In addition, several references from previous research reports, journal articles as well as government reports were used to sharpen analysis of data and information collected from the field.ĭeterminant factors of industrial symbiosis: greening Pasir Gudang industrial park Community readiness model was used to guide the structure of thinking in data collection process at farmer level in order to compose possible best intervention based on farmer aspiration and condition. This paper describes several conditions of farmer community at District of Pasir Jambu in terms of their readiness to adopt stevia cultivation in their land. However, considering the potentials and increasing demand for it, stevia cultivation widespread need to be stimulated. Introducing new commodity and/or technology has usually faced constraints and sometimes rejection. In Indonesia, stevia was introduced from Japan, Korea and China, and has been cultivated in several areas, among other is in West Java, particularly at District of Cikajang (Garut), District of Pangalengan (Bandung) and District of Ciwidey/ Pasir Jambu (Bandung). Stevia has several advantages, among other is having 200-300 times sweetness level compared to cane sugar with low-calorie level. Recognized as a complementary for conventional sugars made from cane, coconut, corn, and palm, as well as a substitute for synthetic sweetener, recently stevia has accepted significant attention in order to fulfill increasing demand for sweeteners in Indonesia.

By investigating the quality of drinking water, KAP and HRA, the results of this study will provide authorities with the knowledge and resources to improve the management of drinking water quality in the future. The HRA showed no potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks from the intake of heavy metal through drinking water. The concentrations of heavy metals analysed in this study were found to be below the permissible limits for drinking water set by the Malaysian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization. The population of Pasir Mas has good knowledge (80%), a less positive attitude (93%) and good practice (81%) towards heavy metal contamination of drinking water. Heavy metal analysis of drinking water samples was performed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Information on KAP was collected using a standardized questionnaire. The aims of this study were: (1) to ascertain the level of KAP regarding heavy metal contamination of drinking water in Pasir Mas (2) to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cd) in drinking water in Pasir Mas and (3) to estimate the health risks (non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic) caused by heavy metal exposure through drinking water using hazard quotient and lifetime cancer risk. Information about the quality of drinking water, together with analysis of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) analysis and health risk assessment (HRA) remain limited.
