Abstract

The textile and fashion industry plays a significant role in sustainable development due to its economic contributions, cultural relevance, and environmental implications. Despite growing scholarly attention to sustainability within the sector, limited research has systematically examined its relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in developing-country contexts. This study investigates how textile and fashion systems contribute to the SDG agenda, with a specific emphasis on Ghana. Adopting a narrative review methodology supported by a structured desk-based literature review, the study synthesises interdisciplinary scholarship on indigenous textile knowledge systems, sustainable production practices, circular economy strategies, labour conditions, and technological innovation. The review suggests that Ghana’s textile and fashion sector aligns with multiple SDGs, particularly SDGs 6, 8, 9, 12, and 13, through contributions to employment generation, cultural heritage preservation, resource-conscious production practices, and emerging innovation initiatives. However, the literature indicates that the sector’s sustainability potential is constrained by limited technological capacity, inadequate access to finance, weak institutional support, and increasing competition from imported textiles. The review further demonstrates that existing scholarship rarely positions textile and fashion systems explicitly within the SDG framework, resulting in a fragmented understanding of their sustainability contributions. This study contributes to the literature by providing an integrated SDG-based analytical framework for interpreting Ghana’s textile and fashion sector, synthesising environmental, economic, cultural, and innovation dimensions that are often examined separately within existing scholarship.

Abstract

Minahasan culture emerged through a long historical process that integrated cosmic mythology with geographical adaptation. These two elements became the foundation and starting point for the development of Minahasan culture as it exists today. As a society with a profound connection to the natural environment, the Minahasan people developed a system of local wisdom that perceives space not merely as a geographical entity but as a cosmological manifestation. One of the expressions of this wisdom is the way the Minahasan people preserve nature through the cardinal directions, embodied in the Quadripartite pattern. This study examines the philosophy of nature in Minahasan society through the quadripartite environmental division, or the concept of the four cardinal directions. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and an ethnophilosophical approach, the study finds that the fourfold pattern of spatial organization represents the Minahasan people's effort to establish harmony between the microcosm (human life) and the macrocosm (the universe). The findings further reveal that the quadripartite concept embodies profound local wisdom, in which each cardinal direction symbolizes the cycle of life, ecological balance, and spiritual responsibility. The Quadripartite model functions not only as a system of spatial orientation but also as a moral and ecological compass that sustains the harmonious relationship among human beings, nature, and the ancestors in the land of Minahasa.
