Abstract

BACKGROUND: The current environmental issue that concerns us all is the use of peatland for oil palm plantations. This damages the peatland ecosystem, even though peatland are very important in the hydrological system of the downstream area of a watershed. One of the impacts of the destruction of the peat ecosystem is the occurrence of flooding in the downstream watershed. In addition, if forest and peatland fires occur, it will cause CO2 emissions, thereby disrupting public health.

AIM: The purpose of this research is to develop the concept of environmental health. The focus of this research is improving environmental health in communities on peatlands.

METHODS: The research method used was qualitative where data collection was done through interviews, observation, and documentation.

RESULTS: The findings of this study are that the research location is dominated by oil palm plantations which have a negative impact on public health.

CONCLUSION: Based on these findings, the development of the concept of environmental health is the interaction between the environment, economy, society, and society to improve the quality of life.
