Abstract

Digitalization has become a disruption worldwide, including in Indonesia. One dominant aspect of this phenomenon is digital transactions. Bank of Indonesia (BI) reported that the cumulative value of electronic money transactions for the period of January to August 2024 reached IDR 1.6 quadrillion, representing a 35.76% growth compared to IDR 1.18 quadrillion (yoy). This highlights the role of digital transactions as a solution and convenience for various activities, including online crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is a rooted culture in Indonesia and demonstrates sustainable economic benefits in West Java. This activity does not always run smoothly, as issues arise within crowdfunding management institutions, leading to societal trust issues. Based on this phenomenon, strengthening the digital ecosystem in West Java is worthy of study. This research aims to measure society's digital competence level about digital transaction activities, particularly crowdfunding. This research uses a descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach. Primary data from 258 respondents were obtained through questionnaire distribution targeting urban and rural communities in West Java was employed. The data were analyzed using simple regression analysis. The results show that the level of digital competence in society is not yet optimal; however, digital competence significantly influences digital transaction activities positively. Therefore, exploration is needed to establish credible crowdfunding management in West Java.

Abstract

The circular economy has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing the global plastic waste crisis by emphasizing resource recovery, recycling, and sustainability. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research dynamics in circular economy and plastic management, utilizing data exclusively from the Scopus database and analyzed with VOSviewer. Key findings reveal significant growth in research activity over the past two decades, with central themes such as "circular economy," "waste management," and "plastic waste" dominating the field. The analysis identifies strong international collaborations, with countries like the United Kingdom, China, and India serving as key contributors. Emerging topics, including "pyrolysis" and "sustainable development," indicate a shift toward innovative technologies and broader sustainability goals.
