Gender dynamics play a significant role in shaping access to clean water in urban areas. This study examines the disparities in burdens between men and women and highlights the spectrum of gender dynamics related to clean water access. The research was conducted in the Tallo district of Makassar City, characterized by slums and low-income households. Data were collected through interviews with 200 heads of households using a self-administered questionnaire and combined with participatory observation. The study reveals that adult women (mothers, wives, aunts, sisters, and sisters-in-law) experience more significant burdens in aspects of water collection, time poverty, health and safety risks, hygiene, and sanitation compared to adult men (fathers, husbands, uncles, and brothers). Regarding decision-making power in water access, heavy burdens are experienced by male children (sons and nephews) and female children (daughters and nieces). Women often face more significant challenges in obtaining safe and affordable water access due to gender role demands in domestic tasks and limited water infrastructure affecting water distribution in the community. The study underscores the need for gender-focused interventions to promote equitable access to clean water in Makassar City and empower women in water resource management and decision-making, improving water infrastructure.

Water quality is crucial for public health, ecosystem well-being, and sustainable development. However, ensuring access to safe and reliable water sources in urban communities takes time and effort. Assessing and mapping water quality in these communities is vital to understanding the current state of water resources, identifying potential contamination sources, and addressing health impacts. This descriptive study aims to assess and map water quality using clarity, color, odor, taste, safety, stability, and convenience parameters. Data were collected from eight sub-districts in Makassar City, South Sulawesi, and a questionnaire was administered through face-to-face interviews or electronic distribution. The study included 200 households selected through purposive sampling. The assessment revealed varying water quality among households, with the distribution as follows: good (46.0%), enough (29.0%), bad (19.0%), and poor (1.5%). Spatial mapping results indicated poor water quality in the Lakkang and Rappokalling sub-districts and inadequate water quality in the Lembo, Tallo, and Buloa sub-districts. Conversely, Wala-walaya and Bunga Eja Beru sub-districts exhibited good and sufficient water quality. The research underscores the importance of prioritizing water resource management and implementing measures for sustainable development goals. By doing so, we can enhance public health and preserve valuable ecosystems.

The purpose of this research is to design UI/UX prototype of the stunting survey application according to user needs, namely (a) users can manage family data, (b), manage prospective bride data, (c) users can input questionnaire data, (d) search data, (e) see evaluation of questionnaire survey results, and (f) users can see the coordinate points of the survey results. The method used in the research is User Centered Design (UCD) which consists of 4 stages, namely Understand context of use, Specify user requirements, Design solutions, Evaluate against requirements. This research successfully designed the design and prototype of a stunting survey application that focuses on user needs and convenience. The prototype testing scenario was carried out with 2 experts who each have expertise in the field of UI/UX Designers and in the field of Public Health, the test results showed that the application interface was well received by the testers, and most tasks could be completed smoothly. This shows that the stunting survey application prototype has been made according to user needs, functional suitability, and easy to navigate by users. The results of this research are expected to be implemented in the actual environment so as to get feedback from users, in this case public health officers as surveyors.

Diabetes Mellitus merupakan penyakit yang jumlahnya meningkat setiap tahun disebabkan oleh gangguan penyerapan gula darah oleh tubuh sehingga membuat kadar dalam darah tinggi. penyakit ini didominasi oleh perempuan karena perempuan cenderung stres yang menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan hormone kortisol sehingga terjadi ketidakseimbangan dalam tubuh yang berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kualitas hidup penderita bila tidak mendapatkan perawatan yang tepat. Salah satu upaya untuk pengendalian penyakit diabetes mellitus dengan non farmakologi adalah meningkatkan dan mengatur aktivitas latihan fisik ( Yoga dan Jalan Cepat) penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Efektivitas latihan Yoga dan Jalan Cepat terhadap Perubahan Kadar Gula Darah sewaktu pada Wanita Diabetes Mellitus. Metode Quasi Eksperimental dengan desain Pre dan Post test Subyek sebanyak 44 orang terdiri kelompok intervensi dan control hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata kadar gula darah pre adalah 217,75 mg/dl dengan nilai minimal 113 mg/dl dan nilai maksimal 500 mg mg/dl sedangkan rata-rata kadar gula darah post 143,50 mg/dl dengan nilai minimal 82 mg/dl dan nilai maksimal 337 mg/dl. Perbedaan nilai rata-rata kadar gula darah Pre-Post sebesar 74,25 mg/dl sehingga selisih kelompok control 6,83 dan kelompok intervensi 18,17. sedangkan pada jalan cepat kelompok intervensi Pre rata-rata 291,45 mg/dl dengan standar deviasi 35,953 atau dikategori krisis hiperglikemia dengan kadar gula darah sewaktu hampir mencapai >300 mg/dl. Dan pada kelompok control rata-rata kadar gula dara sewaktu 272,25 mg/dl, setelah diberikan perlakuan yaitu jalan cepat kelompok intervensi didapatkan rata-rata 241,70 mg/dl dan kelompok control rata-rata 275 mg/dl hal ini menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan kadar gula darah rerata perubahan menurun sebesar 55,75 mg/dl, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol yaitu meningkat sebesar 2,80 mg/dl. pemberian latihan jalan cepat selama 10-30 menit dengan jarak tempuh 2 Km dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada penagruh latihan fisik baik yoga maupun jalan cepat, saran agar penderita diabetes mellitus dapat melakukan secara rutin agar tetap mampu menjaga kadar gula darah sewaktu dalam keadaan normal.
