Abstract

Digital technology has increasingly become a strategic instrument in accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aims to examine the role of digital technology in supporting the achievement of SDGs in Indonesia using a quantitative research approach. Data were collected from 85 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured using a Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, employing descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, and simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that digital technology has a positive and statistically significant effect on SDG achievement, with digital technology explaining 50.7% of the variance in sustainable development outcomes. These findings suggest that increased utilization of digital platforms and systems contributes to improved economic efficiency, social inclusion, and sustainable development practices. This study provides empirical evidence on the importance of digital transformation in achieving SDGs and offers practical insights for policymakers and stakeholders to strengthen digital-based development strategies in Indonesia

Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy has become a strategic priority in supporting sustainable development, particularly in rural areas with limited access to conventional energy infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the utilization of solar energy for street lighting in rural areas of Java, focusing on community perceptions and acceptance. A quantitative research approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to 85 respondents residing in villages equipped with solar-powered street lighting systems. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The analysis included descriptive statistics, reliability testing, and multiple linear regression to examine the influence of perceived effectiveness, efficiency, safety and social impact, and sustainability on community acceptance. The results indicate that all perception dimensions have a positive and statistically significant effect on acceptance of solar-powered street lighting, with perceived safety and social impact emerging as the most influential factor. Overall, the findings demonstrate that solar-powered street lighting is perceived as effective, cost-efficient, socially beneficial, and environmentally sustainable. This study provides empirical evidence to support the expansion of solar energy-based public lighting as a viable strategy for enhancing rural infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy transitions in Indonesia.

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 explores the role of water use efficiency and drip irrigation technology in enhancing the resilience of horticultural crop production in Bandung Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was adopted, surveying 85 farmers using a Likert scale to assess their perceptions of water use efficiency, drip irrigation adoption, and its impact on crop resilience. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that water use efficiency and drip irrigation adoption significantly contribute to improved crop resilience, with drip irrigation having a stronger influence. Despite the benefits, cost remains a significant barrier to adoption. The study underscores the importance of promoting drip irrigation to optimize water use, enhance agricultural productivity, and help farmers adapt to climate variability. Recommendations include reducing installation costs and increasing technical support for farmers.
