Abstract

Resource-dependent regions face interconnected challenges related to economic vulnerability, environmental degradation, climate change, and unequal access to livelihood resources. In this context, green job development offers a potential pathway for achieving socio-economic transformation while supporting environmental sustainability. This study examines how green jobs contribute to socio-economic transformation and resilient livelihoods in resource-dependent regions. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA framework was conducted using literature retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review covered peer-reviewed journal articles and selected institutional reports published between 2012 and 2025. From 138 initially identified records, 20 studies met the inclusion and quality assessment criteria and were included in the final synthesis. The findings indicate that green jobs contribute to socio-economic transformation through human capital development, livelihood diversification, social inclusion, and expanded green economic opportunities. They also generate measurable environmental benefits through emission reduction, improved resource efficiency, sustainable production practices, and ecosystem restoration. However, these outcomes depend heavily on institutional capacity, access to green financing, green skills development, and coherent, inclusive policy frameworks. The study highlights that green jobs should be positioned not merely as employment opportunities but as an integrated instrument to strengthen livelihood resilience and advance environmental sustainability. The findings provide policy implications for governments and development institutions to align green skills development, financing mechanisms, labor policies, and environmental governance in resource-dependent regions.

Abstract

This study examines how brand authenticity and community-based tourism (CBT) intersect in supporting socio-economic sustainability. We conducted a systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed English-language journal articles published between 2015 and 2026. Database filtering retained 1,430 records; after removing two duplicates, we screened 1,428 records, assessed 30 full-text articles, and included 20 studies in the thematic synthesis. We also analyzed the broader dataset of 1,430 records using VOSviewer to map keyword co-occurrence. With a minimum occurrence threshold of 10, the analysis generated 239 items grouped into five clusters. The findings indicate that brand authenticity in CBT forms through alignment among destination promises, local culture, community identity, and tourists’ experiences. Its potential contribution to socio-economic sustainability may arise through tourist trust and loyalty, community participation, local value creation, and livelihood opportunities. However, the bibliometric network reveals that brand-authenticity research remains predominantly oriented toward tourists and branding outcomes, whereas CBT research focuses on participation, local resources, and community development. This review bridges these fragmented perspectives and positions authenticity as a community-centered strategic resource rather than merely a marketing attribute. The findings highlight the importance of participatory governance, cultural preservation, local capacity building, and responsible destination communication in developing authentic and sustainable CBT.

Abstract

Circular economy practices depend not only on waste-processing technologies but also on consumer participation in sustaining material circulation and value creation. This study examines how consumers engage in circular economy practices and contribute to economic, social, and environmental value creation in Paste Lab Yogyakarta, a community-embedded plastic upcycling SME in Indonesia. Using a qualitative single-case design, the study collected data through seven semi-structured interviews with six consumer informants and one internal informant for triangulation, complemented by observation and documentation. The study analyzed the data thematically, guided by stakeholder theory and perspectives on value co-creation. The findings identify three recurring consumer roles: material contributors who supply post-consumer plastic, co-design collaborators who support product and application development, and advocates who extend sustainability narratives and stakeholder networks. These roles contribute to resource circulation, commercial opportunities, social legitimacy, and environmental value, although participation is constrained by limited consumer literacy, durability concerns, price sensitivity, and restricted design options. The study concludes that consumer engagement can support distributed value co-creation in SME-based circular economy practices by linking material recovery, application, and network diffusion within a local circular value chain.

Abstract

Silalahi II Tourism Village in Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, is a developing rural destination with significant cultural tourism potential. However, visitation to its cultural attractions remains relatively low. This study analyzed tourists' preferences for cultural tourism attractions and developed preference-based strategies to support sustainable cultural tourism. The study used a quantitative approach, distributing a questionnaire to 123 domestic tourists and analyzing the data through conjoint analysis to estimate part-worth utilities and the relative importance of attraction attributes. The study evaluated two context-specific attributes, namely something to do and something to see. The results show the strongest preference for photography activities and the traditional weaving stone at the Sopo Deang Namora Cultural Site. Something to do is the most influential attribute (54.530%), compared with something to see (45.470%). Pearson’s r (0.915) and Kendall’s Tau (0.708) indicate strong, significant agreement between observed and estimated preferences, supporting the conjoint model's predictive reliability. The study’s novelty lies in linking attribute-level tourist preferences with sustainable cultural tourism development in a rural tourism-village context, showing how experiential preferences can guide the transformation of heritage resources into visitor-centered products while supporting cultural preservation and community participation. Accordingly, development should prioritize photography-based experiences, cultural storytelling, participatory activities, accessibility, digital promotion, and community involvement.

Abstract

Environmental degradation and sustainability challenges continue to threaten natural resource management and ecosystem resilience, particularly in resource-dependent countries such as Indonesia. Beyond technical and policy interventions, effective public communication is essential in fostering environmental awareness and sustainable practices. This study examines how TVRI, Indonesia’s national Public Service Media (PSM), promotes sustainability through its program Inspirasi Tani. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research analyses ten selected episodes published on TVRI’s official YouTube channel, complemented by a thematic review of sustainability-related audience comments. Guided by Environmental Communication Theory and Agenda-Setting Theory, the findings show that Inspirasi Tani consistently frames sustainability through practical agricultural narratives emphasizing resource efficiency, climate adaptability, biodiversity utilization, and green entrepreneurship. Sustainability is presented not as an abstract environmental agenda but as an accessible and economically viable livelihood strategy. Audience engagement patterns, including educational recognition, technical inquiry, and adoption-oriented responses, indicate that audiences view sustainability messages as actionable agricultural knowledge. The study highlights Public Service Media's strategic communicative role in normalizing sustainability discourse and supporting sustainable natural resource management in developing-country contexts.

Abstract

The current global tourism industry has reached a critical point, managing complex socio-cultural, environmental, and economic interdependencies. Furthermore, literature on community-based tourism (CBT) significantly underrepresents rural Asian destinations, with research in Indonesia often remaining descriptive rather than offering strategic pathways for relevant development. This study explores strategic approaches to developing sustainable, inclusive community tourism in Samosir, Indonesia. With sustainable tourism development as an analytical lens, the research evaluates the destination through its three fundamental pillars: economic, environmental, and socio-cultural. The study uses Design Thinking (DT) as a qualitative research methodology, applying it as a human-centered problem-solving technique to address systemic challenges facing the destination. The study collected empirical data through semi-structured interviews with 24 purposively selected participants to provide insights into the current stage of development, trends, and strategy identification. Thematic analysis reveals that these travelers seek authentic Batak cultural immersion and peaceful rural environments to escape urban pressures. The results indicate that the "Dinner by the Lake" prototype shows how Design Thinking can serve as a strategic intervention tool to integrate sustainability principles, such as local procurement and waste reduction, directly into tourism operations. This research provides a contextualized strategy and pathway for rural destinations to achieve environmental resilience and social equity while maintaining globally competitive experiential differentiation.

Abstract

Indonesia’s decentralised governance system allows subnational actors to engage in cross-border cooperation through paradiplomacy, particularly in maritime border regions where fisheries resources and coastal livelihoods are closely linked to transboundary ecological systems. While paradiplomacy studies have largely focused on economic promotion and city diplomacy, its role in environmental governance-especially in fisheries managementremains underexplored. Conversely, fisheries governance literature tends to prioritise national regulatory regimes and international cooperation frameworks, paying limited attention to the role of subnational actors in cross-border resource governance. This study examines the role of maritime paradiplomacy in Berakit Village, Bintan Regency, Indonesia, in supporting sustainable fisheries governance and marine ecosystem protection. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with local government officials, fisheries officers, community leaders, fishermen groups, and NGO representatives, complemented by field observations and policy document analysis. The findings indicate that maritime paradiplomacy contributes to several governance outcomes, including strengthened community-based surveillance against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, support for marine spatial planning under the Coastal and Small Islands Zoning Plan (RZWP3K), promotion of environmentally selective fishing gear, and mangrove conservation initiatives. These mechanisms enhance compliance with ecosystem-based fisheries management and reduce risks of fisheries overexploitation. Conceptually, the study expands paradiplomacy scholarship by introducing the concept of maritime environmental paradiplomacy, highlighting how subnational diplomacy can function as a complementary governance mechanism linking local communities, regional authorities, and national institutions in advancing sustainable marine resource management.

Abstract

The capture fisheries sector plays an important role in supporting food security, coastal livelihoods, and sustainable marine resource management. One factor influencing fisheries sustainability is the efficiency of fish marketing systems, particularly post-harvest handling and distribution. This study analyses and compares fish marketing efficiency in Tangkahan Belawan and Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra Province, and examines how differences in post-harvest handling systems influence marketing performance and sustainable fisheries management. We collected data from 100 respondents, including boat owners, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers, using snowball and convenience sampling. We used descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze marketing channels, marketing costs, marketing margins, fishers’ share, and marketing efficiency across six fish commodities. The results show that fish marketing in Tanjung Balai was consistently more efficient than in Belawan, as indicated by lower marketing efficiency values and marketing costs across all commodities. Marketing costs averaged Rp7,297/kg in Belawan and Rp5,307/kg in Tanjung Balai. This difference mainly reflected Tanjung Balai's frozen fish marketing system, which reduced handling intensity, ice requirements, and distribution costs. In contrast, fresh fish marketing in Belawan required higher operational costs to maintain product quality. This study's novelty lies in showing that differences in post-harvest handling systems can affect fish marketing efficiency even when marketing channel structures are similar. Improving post-harvest handling, storage, and distribution efficiency can reduce post-harvest losses, enhance economic returns, and minimize pressure on fish resources without increasing fishing intensity. Thus, strengthening fish marketing systems through appropriate post-harvest management can complement production-oriented fisheries policies and support sustainable fisheries and coastal resource management.

Abstract

This study examines whether Planning Strategies mediate the relationship between Hot Spring Assets and Regional Development at Aek Milas Hot Spring in Hutaraja Village, Mandailing Natal Regency, Indonesia. The destination combines geothermal water, a river ecosystem, agricultural landscapes, and Mandailing cultural resources, but limited facilities, weak market visibility, and fragmented stakeholder coordination constrain its development. We conducted an explanatory cross-sectional survey of stakeholders directly familiar with the destination. Of an accessible population of 75 stakeholders, we retained and analyzed 65 complete questionnaires using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Hot Spring Assets were positively associated with Planning Strategies (β = 0.584, t = 6.742, p < 0.001), while Planning Strategies were positively associated with Regional Development (β = 0.621, t = 7.185, p < 0.001). The indirect effect of Hot Spring Assets on Regional Development through Planning Strategies was also significant (β = 0.363, t = 5.214, p < 0.001). These findings show that the developmental value of geothermal resources depends not only on resource attractiveness but also on planning capabilities that coordinate infrastructure, governance, community enterprise, digital communication, and environmental protection. The study's novelty lies in testing Planning Strategies as a mediating capability in a rural geothermal destination, thereby linking resource-based logic with sustainable destination development. The model provides a context-specific basis for integrated planning in Hutaraja and similar emerging geothermal destinations.

Abstract

This study analyzes the interactions, synergies, and trade-offs within the Water–Energy–Food (WEF) Nexus at the Cintamekar Micro-Hydro Power Plant (PLTMh) in Subang, Indonesia. Using interviews, observations, and document analysis, the research identifies how water flows simultaneously sustain hydropower generation and agricultural irrigation, generating Water–Energy and Water–Food linkages. A critical finding is the emergence of a WEF trade-off after the PLTMh shutdown in 2022, when water previously allocated to energy generation was redirected entirely to irrigation, prioritizing food security while eliminating renewable energy production. This condition shows how nexus interactions are shaped not only by technical flows but also by institutional capacity, governance vulnerabilities, and dependencies on single-resource infrastructure. The study contributes by explaining how WEF trade-offs materialize during system disruptions, demonstrating the decisive role of local institutional capacity in maintaining nexus synergies, and identifying the absence of an Energy–Food linkage as a significant empirical gap in rural run-of-river hydropower systems. These findings enhance framework understanding of WEF dynamics in rural contexts and offer practical insights for designing resilient, community-based renewable energy strategies.
