Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with SDG 4 (Quality Education) as a foundational goal, requires significant contribution from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through research, innovation, and community engagement promoting sustainability. This study utilizes a comparative method to analyze sustainability leadership within HEIs in Indonesia and the Philippines, revealing both progress and persistent inequalities. The increasing inclusion of universities in global sustainability rankings signifies institutional transformation that integrates environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and educational innovation. Leading HEIs—such as Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Gadjah Mada, De La Salle University–Dasmariñas, and the University of the Philippines—exemplify measurable sustainability leadership. However, this progress remains highly concentrated in urban and well-resourced regions (Java and Luzon), reflecting spatial and institutional disparities that limit national participation. Comparative analysis indicates that Indonesian HEIs, notably Universitas Gadjah Mada and IPB University, demonstrate a more balanced sustainability performance across social and environmental dimensions, reflecting cohesive national coordination, while Philippine universities display specialized yet uneven achievements. To sustain momentum, both countries must strengthen inclusive policies, inter-university collaboration, and regional capacity building to empower HEIs as equitable and effective agents of sustainable development, reinforcing a shared vision for a resilient and inclusive future

Abstract

This study investigates communal toilet models as an alternative sanitation soliution for densely populated urban settlements and their potential contribution to sustainable development targets related to safe sanitation. In many high-density settlements, limited land availability and infrastructure constraints prevent households from having private sanitation facilities, leading communities to rely on shared sanitation systems. This resarch applies a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative data. Primary data were collected from four sub districts in Bandung, Wes Java, Indonesia, involving 40 household respondents and 100 key informarmants during the period 2024-2025. Additional information on social, economic, and demographic characteristics was obtained through structured questionnaires. The analysis evaluates communal toilet construction models that consider land availability and water supply conditions, as well as two waste treatment scenarios designed for facilities serving up to 120 users. The results indicate that the second scenario provides greater flexibility in spatial adaptation and more manageable waste treatment for dense settlements. The findings emphasize that appropriate design, effective waste management, accessibility, and affordability are essential factors for improving sanitation services in high-density urban areas. This study highlights the importance of adaptive communal sanitation systems as a practical approach to expanding sanitation access and supporting sustainable urban development in densely populated settlements.

Abstract

Abstract: This article delves into the intricate dynamics of supply chain integration and resilience within a state-owned logistics enterprise in Namibia, specifically focusing on the Port of Walvis Bay. A quantitative research design was adopted to provide a comprehensive understanding of how supply chain integration practices impact the resilience of this strategic logistics hub. The Port of Walvis Bay is a vital gateway for Namibia's international trade, and its ability to adapt to disruptions and maintain operational efficiency is of utmost importance. To achieve this objective, the correlational approach is necessary for establishing the association between supply chain integration and resilience in state-owned logistics enterprises. A combination of probability and non-probability sampling techniques was adopted in administering 370 questionnaires to six logistics industries associated with the port of Walvis Bay, and statistical analysis. The study seeks to explore the extent to which various dimensions of supply chain integration, such as information integration, internal integration, customer integration, and supply integration, influence the resilience of the logistics enterprise. It was found that strategies to enhance the resilience of state-owned logistics entities ultimately contribute to the overall efficiency and competitiveness of the Port of Walvis Bay and, by extension, Namibia's logistics sector. The managerial relevance of the current study was drawn from the statistical inverse relationship between supply chain integration and resilience in Namibia's logistics enterprises.

Abstract

Coffee, with around 125 known species, ranks among the most globally traded commodities and is a key source of foreign income for numerous developing nations. Its value chain is complex and highly exposed to economic and environmental risks, especially for smallholders. These challenges have intensified with the EU Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) enacted in June 2023, which restricts imports of seven key deforestation-linked commodities, including coffee. This study aims to analyze the role of the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in advancing the readiness of coffee-producing countries, particularly in the Coffee Belt, for the implementation of the European Union Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR). This research adopts a descriptive qualitative method and utilizes both primary and secondary data, including official statements, reports, and meeting records, alongside sources obtained through library research. It explores the role of the International Coffee Organization (ICO) using Clive Archer’s (2001) conceptual framework, which viewed intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) as instruments, actors, and forums. The findings signify that the International Coffee Organization (ICO) plays a strategic role as a coordination instrument and source of information, an independent actor in policy advocacy, and a deliberate forum that brings together multiple stakeholders to support EUDR implementation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of government roles, leadership, and destination image on the competitive advantage of Kutuh Tourism Village, Badung Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires administered to key stakeholders, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The findings indicate that the government role has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage (t-statistic = 2.71; original sample = 0.800), suggesting that regulatory support, infrastructure development, and promotion enhance destination competitiveness. Destination image also shows a positive and significant effect (t-statistic = 2.22; original sample = 0.805), confirming that positive tourist perceptions strengthen competitive advantage. Conversely, leadership has no significant effect (t-statistic = 0.71), indicating the need to improve local leadership capacity. The R-Square value of 0.741 indicates that the three variables collectively explain 74.1% of the variance in competitive advantage, while the Q-Square value of 0.711 demonstrates high predictive relevance. These findings provide practical implications for destination development, emphasizing that synergy between government support and destination image enhancement is a key driver for sustainable competitiveness, with leadership remaining a strategic potential that should be optimized.

Abstract

The growing emphasis on sustainable human resource management (HRM) underscores the importance of integrating environmental values into human capital development. However, existing studies predominantly focus on contemporary managerial frameworks, with limited attention to historically rooted and value-based educational systems. This study addresses this gap by examining the role of Islamic educational history in shaping environmentally responsible human capital, with particular reference to pesantren as indigenous Islamic institutions. This research employs a qualitative historical design, utilizing a systematic literature review and thematic content analysis of classical Islamic texts, historical records, and contemporary scholarly works on pesantren. The analytical framework is grounded in Human Capital Theory and Sustainable HRM perspectives. The findings reveal that pesantren have long institutionalized environmental ethics through processes of value internalization, disciplined practices, and communal living, which foster behavioral competencies aligned with sustainability principles. These institutions function as early models of integrated human capital development, incorporating ethical, social, and environmental dimensions. This study contributes to the HRM literature by offering a non-Western, historically grounded perspective on sustainable human capital development. It also provides practical insights for integrating ethical and sustainability-oriented values into contemporary human resource development strategies, particularly in supporting responsible governance practices
