---

General structure of paper should be divided into two files. First file is title Page (Title, Name of Authors, Affiliation, Email and Acknowledgement) and Second file is full text manuscript (Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References. Title of the manuscript should be defined to understand the readers globally. So, the authors must avoid the title with some local meanings, such as: "Case study in City X or Subdisrict Y, etc". Also, the manuscript title in Full Manuscript should be clear, concise, informative, and limited to 15 words, including conjunctions. Subtitles, colons, and nonstandard abbreviations are unacceptable.

In general the structure of the article must be able to show uniqueness, novelty, rigour, contribution, value, and most importantly it has a good story telling in environmental issues and Sustainable Development. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. American English spelling is preferred.

Please title your manuscript in this order ‘Manuscript_Title”. Submit both the source file and the MS-DOC/MS-DOCX/PDF file to Submission Online Process without name and afilliation. Please ensure that paper is free from plagiarism, especially through plagiarism check by iThenticate.

References should be in APA style constructed with Mendeley. Other specific requirements are stated in the template. Authors are requested to write the paper directly in the template file.

Specific Requirements

Adjustments to this structure are permitted in several conditions.

Title

TITLE SHOULD BE IN CAPITAL LETTER (UPPERCASE) WITHOUT LINE SEPARATION

Abstract

Abstract with no more than 300 words should be supplied to reflect the content of the paper. A concise and factual abstract is required (IMRAD Model).

  1. Introduction/Backgorund. Provide context or background for the study and state the study’s primary objective or hypothesis in 1–6 sentences. Also, please explain the previous research/program what other people do or what you have done before. Author include hypothesis (if any) which explained the tentative of result.

  2. Methods. Describe the basic procedures used during the study, including selection of study subjects, observational, analytical methods, and define the primary outcomes.

  3. Results and Discussion. Summarize the main findings, including specific effect sizes and their statistical significance, if possible. Include (if relevant) the number of participants in each group, the primary outcome for each group, and any significant adverse events or side effects. Also, please explain relation between your theory and your result in your article.

  4. Conclusion. In 1–2 sentences, state the principal conclusions, emphasizing new and important aspects of the study or observations in aspect of your research

An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand-alone. For this reason, References should be avoided. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. In the end of this section, please also briefly state the structure of paper, starting from Title up to References.

Following the abstract, there should be 6 keywords maximum, alphabetically sorted, and separated by semicolon.

Introduction

Provide an adequate background, context of the problems based on the literature review. State the objectives of the work and emphasize the originality (state of the art).

The first paragraph of a section or subsection should not be indented; subsequent paragraphs should be indented. There is no theoretical background section in this manuscript. But, you must input your theoretical background on Introduction section. Theoretical background contains previous theories as the basis of research and the temporary hypothesis. The theory can be in the form of scientific articles, articles in journals, textbooks, or other sources of scientific writing.

This theory will be used to provide state of the art of your manuscript from research problems that have been proposed. Other theories that are still needed to solve the problem of research to support theories that are delivered after the theory of your research is discussed. After the theories are mentioned and discussed, you need to form a problem that show:

  1. why this manuscript is important,
  2. existing gaps,
  3. previous research and
  4. the purpose of the manuscript.

After the theories are mentioned and discussed, the author has written a temporary hypothesis (if any) as a temporary answer of the research. If this temporary answer is true, then the writer can reveal that the research problems have been answered and has been given the solution.

Methods

Methods are the means used by the author to answer the existing research problem. Please provide sufficient detail methods to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described. In the methods, must clear with the location and time of the research, the population and sample of the research, the research variables and the research data.

Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. Adequate discussion or comparison of the current results to the previous similar published articles is recommended to shows the positioning of the present research (if available).

The discussion is presented systematically from general, then leads to the specific. Discussion must explore the significance of the results of the work. Presentation of the research can be done with the help of tables, drawings/graphs, maps/plans, and schemes.

Result and discussion of your manuscript also interconnected with your theory that used, included novelty of your manuscript about your research. Minimum of your explanation on this chapter is range 40% to 50% of your manuscript as a whole

Conclusions

The main conclusion of the study may be presented in a short conclusions section, which may stand-alone (maximum 4 paragraphs). It should not repeat the results, instead provide significant findings and contribution of the study. To close this section, state some important limitations of research, followed by potential future research regarding the issue.

Acknowledgement

Acknowledgements should be collected in a separate section in the Title Page before your article is published. Individuals who assisted with the study should be listed here (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance, or proofreading the article, etc.).

Author Contribution

Each author is expected to make substantial contributions to the design or design of the work; or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of the data; or to the creation of new software used in the work; or to the drafting or substantive revision of the work; and to the approval of the version submitted (and the version substantially modified by the staff of the journal, which includes the contribution of the author to the work).

For each article with several authors, a short paragraph specifying their individual contributions must be provided in the Title Page. The following statements should be used "Conceptualization, X.X. and Y.Y.; Methodology, X.X.; Software, X.X.; Validation, X.X., Y.Y. and Z.Z.; Formal Analysis, X.X.; Investigation, X.X.; Resources, X.X.; Data Curation, X.X.; Writing – Original Draft Preparation, X.X.; Writing – Review & Editing, X.X.; Visualization, X.X.; Supervision, X.X.; Project Administration, X.X.; and Funding Acquisition, Y.Y.”. Please turn to the CRediT taxonomy (CRediT) for an explanation of the term and background of the CRediT.
