Abstract

The Buffer Zone, also known as the green belt, is an open space surrounding the aircraft runaway line without buildings and activities. Despite its intended purpose, this zone is often utilized for agricultural activities. However, the presence of aircraft movement and emission pollutants, reaching up to 600 grams per kilometer, poses potential environmental health problems and could impact crop yields. Thus, this research aims to explore the relationship between activities within the buffer zone and environmental health. The study used qualitative methods to gather comprehensive data and conduct a thorough analysis. Data sources and architectural literature in the context of environmental health were utilized. The findings indicate that agricultural land is situated adjacent to infrastructure facilities, with the coexistence of vegetation, including food plants, within the zone raising concerns about potential pollutant exposure. Sub-infrastructure could also contribute to pollution levels. Consequently, it is essential to refrain from converting farmland into infrastructure areas to avoid adverse effects on the environment, such as reduced green open spaces and environmental degradation. Instead, natural and common vegetation should be nurtured and utilized to serve as barriers, provide shade, and maintain environmental integrity. The development of infrastructure in the buffer zone should be carefully planned to prevent exacerbating air pollution around the airport. By considering such factors and implementing suitable measures, the buffer zone could be effectively utilized while ensuring environmental health and sustainability.
