Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on government budget efficiency. This bibliometric analysis explores the evolution and integration of themes within fisheries management research from 1959 to 2024. Utilizing VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence and network visualization, the study identifies dominant themes such as "fishery management system," "conservation," and "sustainability," along with their interconnections and shifts over time. The analysis highlights a multidisciplinary approach, integrating ecological, economic, and technological aspects to address the challenges of sustainable fisheries management. The prominence of terms related to management strategies and environmental conservation reflects a global commitment to sustainable practices. Collaborative patterns among leading researchers and the evolution of research themes underscore the dynamic nature of this field, emphasizing adaptive management strategies that are informed by both socio-economic and ecological dynamics. The findings suggest that the ongoing integration of advanced technologies and interdisciplinary approaches is crucial for developing effective fisheries management practices that can adapt to environmental uncertainties and ensure the sustainability of both marine resources and dependent communities.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of airline ticket price reduction policies and tourist consumption behavior on the choice of year-end holiday destinations in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 60 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale (1-5) and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that both airline ticket price reduction policies and tourist consumption behavior significantly influence destination choices, with price reduction policies having a stronger effect. The regression model explains 63% of the variance in destination choices, highlighting the importance of affordability and spending preferences in shaping travel decisions. These results provide valuable insights for policymakers and tourism stakeholders to design strategies that enhance destination competitiveness, particularly during peak travel seasons.

Abstract

Gold has long been regarded as a safe-haven asset, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty, and its price is influenced by a complex interplay of macroeconomic, financial, and technological factors. This study employs a bibliometric analysis using Scopus as the primary data source and VOSviewer for network visualization to systematically examine the academic literature on the determinants of gold price fluctuations. The findings reveal three dominant research themes: macroeconomic influences (inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, and oil prices), gold’s role in financial markets and investment strategies, and emerging computational methods for gold price forecasting, particularly machine learning and artificial intelligence. The study highlights an increasing focus on gold’s relationship with cryptocurrencies and electronic trading, reflecting the evolving landscape of financial markets. Additionally, the co-authorship network analysis identifies key contributors and research clusters, indicating a growing interdisciplinary approach to gold price research. Despite the extensive body of literature, gaps remain in areas such as behavioral finance, sustainability, and digital finance innovations, presenting opportunities for future research. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for economists, policymakers, and investors, offering a comprehensive roadmap for understanding the evolving dynamics of gold prices.

Abstract

This study aims to map the intellectual structure, research trends, and evolution of Green Supply Chain Marketing through a bibliometric analysis of scholarly publications indexed in the Scopus database. Using VOSviewer as an analytical tool, the study examines keyword co-occurrence, overlay visualization, density mapping, co-authorship networks, institutional collaboration, and country-level partnerships to identify dominant themes and emerging research directions. The findings reveal that the field has evolved from an operational focus on environmental management and green manufacturing toward a strategic integration of marketing, sustainability, and supply chain management. Core research clusters highlight the growing importance of green marketing strategies, decision making, and sustainability-driven innovation in shaping competitive advantage. Overlay analysis indicates that recent studies increasingly emphasize consumer attitudes, government roles, and strategic marketing approaches, reflecting a shift toward market-oriented sustainability practices. Collaboration analysis shows that China and India serve as major contributors to global research output, while cross-institutional collaboration remains relatively fragmented, suggesting opportunities for broader interdisciplinary engagement. Overall, the study provides a comprehensive overview of the development and future trajectory of Green Supply Chain Marketing research and offers insights for scholars and practitioners seeking to align environmental responsibility with marketing and supply chain performance.

Abstract

Urban waste management has become a critical challenge in rapidly growing cities due to increasing population, urbanization, and consumption patterns that generate large volumes of waste. Sustainable waste management systems are therefore required to reduce environmental impacts and improve resource efficiency. This study aims to analyze the contribution of circular economy practices, waste management literacy, and infrastructure support to the sustainability of urban waste management in the City of Surabaya. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 150 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that circular economy practices, waste management literacy, and infrastructure support all have positive and significant effects on the sustainability of urban waste management. Waste management literacy shows the strongest influence on sustainability, followed by circular economy practices and infrastructure support. The regression analysis shows that the three independent variables collectively explain 54.9% of the variation in urban waste management sustainability. These findings suggest that improving public environmental knowledge, encouraging circular economy practices such as recycling and waste reduction, and strengthening waste management infrastructure can significantly enhance sustainable urban waste management. The study provides practical implications for policymakers and urban planners to develop integrated strategies that combine community participation, environmental education, and infrastructure development to achieve sustainable waste management systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainability orientation and eco-friendly promotion on marketing performance and brand reputation of eco-friendly miscro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Bandung. In the context of increasing environmental awareness and competitive market dynamics, MSMEs are required to adopt sustainable practices and communicate them effectively to enhance both performance and public perception. This research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 180 MSMEs owners and managers through a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 3. The results indicate that sustainability orientation has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance and brand reputation. Eco-friendly promotion also shows a significant and stronger influence on marketing performance and brand reputation. Furthermore, marketing performance has a positive effect on brand reputation and serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between sustainability orientation, eco-friendly promotion, and brand reputation. The model demonstrates strong explanatory and predictive power, indicating that sustainability-driven strategies are critical for enhancing business outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the integration of sustainability and marketing strategies in MSMEs, particularly in developing countries. Practically, the findings offer strategic insights for MSMEs owners to improve competitiveness and long-term brand value through sustainable practices.
