Our Activities
The Feasibility Study for the Reclamation Area Using Nickel Slag Material by PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) as Supporting Infrastructure for Business Activities in the Port Area for 2025 is a strategic initiative aimed at comprehensively assessing the opportunities, risks, and both technical and non-technical readiness for utilizing nickel slag as reclamation material in the port zone. This study is carried out by the SDGs Center of Diponegoro University as an academic institution with scientific expertise in sustainability analysis, geotechnics, socio-economic assessment, and environmental studies, in collaboration with the Sustainability Indonesia Foundation as the implementing partner supporting field data collection, social analysis, and sustainability validation.
The scope of activities includes analysis of the technical, socio-economic, and environmental aspects as an integrated feasibility assessment. From the technical perspective, the team evaluates the physical and chemical characteristics of nickel slag, its suitability as reclamation material, geotechnical stability, potential technical risks, and its feasibility to support port operations. The study also examines the conceptual design of reclamation using nickel slag, including material requirements, reclamation zoning, and phased implementation planning.
For the socio-economic aspect, the study assesses the social conditions of communities around the port area, perceptions and potential impacts on livelihoods, opportunities for local economic development, and possible social dynamics arising from the use of nickel slag as reclamation material. This analysis is conducted through interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and field observations to produce an objective and context-responsive assessment.
Meanwhile, the environmental aspect focuses on analyzing the ecological impacts of nickel slag utilization, including assessments of soil and water quality, potential contamination, changes in coastal habitats, and long-term risks to marine and terrestrial ecosystems surrounding the port area. The study also evaluates the alignment of reclamation plans with applicable environmental regulations and sustainable reclamation standards.
The final output of this study consists of comprehensive recommendations regarding the feasibility of using nickel slag for port reclamation purposes. These recommendations cover technical feasibility, socio-economic feasibility, environmental feasibility, conceptual reclamation design, risk mitigation strategies, and a structured, sustainable implementation plan.
