According to a survey by the Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC), the majority, or 58.1% of respondents, felt that air quality in Indonesia was poor in the last month.
This breaks down to 45.3% of respondents stating that air quality was poor and 12.8% stating it was very poor.
Conversely, only 37.9% of respondents said that Indonesia's air quality was good. This includes 33.4% rating it as good and 4.5% as very good. A further 4% of respondents said they didn't know.
This aligns with findings from IQAIR data, which showed an Air Quality Index (AQI US) of 166 in Jakarta at 1:38 PM WIB on July 12, 2023.
According to IQAir's scale, a score in the range of 151-200 indicates unhealthy air quality. This score even shows Jakarta ranking as the second city with the worst air quality in the world currently.
The Kurious-KIC survey was conducted among 622 respondents spread across various regions of Indonesia, with 45.3% male respondents and 54.7% female respondents.
More than half of the respondents were from the island of Java (excluding Jakarta) at 63.7%, followed by Jakarta (14.5%), and Sumatra (12.2%). The proportion of respondents from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.5% to 4.5%.
Most respondents were aged between 35-44 years (33.6%), followed by the 25-34 age group (27.3%) and the 45-54 age group (23.2%).
The survey was conducted from June 12-22, 2023, using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) method, with a margin of error of approximately 3.92% and a 95% confidence level.
