The study is aimed to analyse the impact of agriculture manufacturing and transportation on environmental quality in Indonesia. Analysis of the data was performed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with Warp-PLS software 6.0 version. The finding showed that manufacturing and transportation activities negatively and significantly impact environmental quality while the effect of agricultural activities on environmental quality is positive and significant. The manufacturing industry growth triggers more liquid waste that leads to water pollution more energy used that increases air pollution and more industrial areas that cause the land cover to be reduced. The increase in road transportation caused more air pollution. In contrast low energy consumption controlled use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides and the prohibition of forest clearing for agriculture activities positively impacted environmental quality. The study implies that the government needs to encourage manufacturing companies to have wastewater treatment plant. To reduce dependence on fossil energy the government needs to encourage the manufacturing and transportation sectors to use more renewable energy and prevent the reduction in the land cover area on Java Island. The government can divert investment targets to other islands.

Abstract

The study is aimed to analyse the impact of agriculture manufacturing and transportation on environmental quality in Indonesia. Analysis of the data was performed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with Warp-PLS software 6.0 version. The finding showed that manufacturing and transportation activities negatively and significantly impact environmental quality while the effect of agricultural activities on environmental quality is positive and significant. The manufacturing industry growth triggers more liquid waste that leads to water pollution more energy used that increases air pollution and more industrial areas that cause the land cover to be reduced. The increase in road transportation caused more air pollution. In contrast low energy consumption controlled use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides and the prohibition of forest clearing for agriculture activities positively impacted environmental quality. The study implies that the government needs to encourage manufacturing companies to have wastewater treatment plant. To reduce dependence on fossil energy the government needs to encourage the manufacturing and transportation sectors to use more renewable energy and prevent the reduction in the land cover area on Java Island. The government can divert investment targets to other islands.
