Budget Decentralization

The article considers the prospects of achieving sustainable development goals, which are a necessary tool for the development of European national economies and increase competitiveness in the world market, they are followed by all members of the European Union and its future members, including Ukraine. It is emphasized that the funding process implemented through the deepening of budget decentralization in the country provides a foundation for the implementation of sustainable development(SD) programs and goals. The economic processes in the country during the decentralization reforms at the stage of voluntary unification of territorial communities (OTG), strengthening their budgetary independence have been studied. Observations of the financial distribution of basic and reverse subsidies to local governments budgets during 2019 were conducted. To enable the measurement of economic sustainability in Ukraine, it was decided to synthesize the economic and social components of sustainable development. Obtaining statistical characteristics of indicators for selected components was provided by using indices. The dynamics of sustainable development goals implementation in the period from 2015 to 2020 is analyzed. The study is aimed at finding the interdependence of deepening budget decentralization, ensuring the financial system of self-government in cities with the implementation of economic and social components of sustainable development. In order to be able to characterize the level of sustainable development, its components in Ukraine will use the main global indices of the Slovak Republic: the Global Competitiveness Index and the Human Development Index. In order to explore the uniformity of the distribution of financial income among the united communities of Ukraine, we propose to use the Gini index. The Gini index measures the degree to which the distribution of income or consumption expenditure of individuals or households in an economy differs from absolute equality in distribution. In order to find a link between the level of economic sustainability and the deepening of budget decentralization in Ukraine, we propose to conduct a correlation analysis between the SR indices and the Ginny index. The analysis was performed on two types of correlation: Pearson in the case of linearity, similarity of indicators; and Spearman's correlation, on the other hand, in the case of nonlinearity, converting index indices into ranks, providing greater reliability. After the analysis, it will be possible to identify the presence of a connection between these indicators or to make sure that they are absent.

High Level

The high level and trend of corruption in Indonesia Province could hinder the goal of Sustainable Development Goals point 16. This study aims to identify disclosures of integrity through websites and classify the Indonesia Provinces into 3 categories, namely high, medium, and low based on the integrity disclosure index using institutional theory. The data is based on content analysis to analyze practices through disclosure of integrity on 34 Indonesian Province websites using the Integrity Framework Disclosure Index instrument. The findings indicate that Indonesia has disclosed 775 items (48%). The items of vision, mission, and integrity report are the biggest disclosed items among other items that show Indonesia’s effort to create a “good image” in the public eyes. Several Provinces are in the moderate category because of a strategic issue in the field of education. Local governments still have to review the increase in integrity disclosure on websites and their real-life implementation to improve integrity and fight corruption in Indonesia.

Lack Of Commitment

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a tough challenge for developing countries, including Indonesia. At the regional level, the integration of SDGs into development planning faces many challenges, because some indicators are not yet in accordance with regional conditions, as well as very limited data. The purpose of this study is to analyze the integration of SDGs indicators into development planning carried out by local governments in Central Java. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The research location is in Central Java, taking the case in the Central Java Provincial Government, as well as the Pekalongan District Government, Pemalang District, Wonosobo Regency, and Grobogan Regency. Research informants are those who have the authority to develop development plans, as well as non-government actors. The data analysis technique uses the interactive model as developed by Miles and Huberman. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of SDGs in Central Java, both at the provincial and district / city levels is still not optimal, because SDGs are only interpreted as BAPPEDA activities, and in the preparation of action plans there are still very few government and non-government programs integrated. Another obstacle is the lack of commitment among stakeholders, both in sharing data and resources, formulating programs and preparing action plans.

In recent years, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is becoming a major challenge for local governments. This research focuses on the role of Spanish local governments in the fulfillment of SDG-6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all citizens. Specifically, this study analyses the evolution of the efficiency of Spanish local governments, and its determining factors, in the achievement of the SDG-6. The results indicate that the taxes associated with water supply and sanitation services, the private management of these services, population density, local government budget revenues, the income of the inhabitants of the municipality and the fragmentation of local governments are factors that can improve the evolution of the efficiency of Spanish local governments in achieving the SDG-6.

Sustainable development, logistics, and supply chain are being combined into three increasingly connected and topical global research areas. Therefore, this paper’s novelty identifies and defines the priorities of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and sustainable development dimensions in supply-chain- and logistics-management-related studies in the last decade. Knowing logistics and supply chain sustainability focus and orientation is valuable information for researchers and managers to adapt and mitigate their business logistics according to the forecasted trends. The paper provides a systematic and comprehensive review of the literature and is based on 116 scientific papers published between 2010 and 2020 in 73 international journals in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The study defines focus with integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability for logistics- and supply-chain-related studies. It emphasizes primary and secondary links of investigated studies with 17 United Nations sustainable development goals. The bibliometric analysis also examined keyword relations. One of the main contributions is that economic sustainability was identified as the most represented one-dimensional sustainability focus. It was revealed that supply chain studies integrated all three sustainability dimensions more frequently (50.60%) than logistics studies, which were equally related to studying two- or three-dimensions of sustainability (39.39%). The most significant findings are also that studies were identified to be oriented primarily towards “responsible consumption and production”, “industry, innovation, and infrastructure” and “affordable and clean energy” and secondary especially on “sustainable cities and communities”.

Although transparency on the sustainability of public services is an issue of urgent interest to both governments and academics, previous research in this area has mainly focused on developed European countries, and has paid insufficient attention to areas that are still developing, such as many Latin American countries. The aim of this study is to identify factors that promote transparency on sustainability by local governments in Latin America, in the view that greater transparency will help them meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Therefore, using content analysis and following the GRI guidelines, we analyze the economic, social and environmental information published on the websites of 200 large local governments in 18 Latin American countries. In addition, using linear regression and calculating the corresponding Spearman coefficients, we analyze the influence of idiosyncratic and systemic variables on the volume of information disclosed. Our findings show that certain factors—population size, education level, unemployment, the quality of legislation and political corruption—affect transparency on sustainability. The conclusions drawn from this analysis enable us to identify useful measures for enhancing transparency on sustainability, including the reform of transparency laws and the analysis and disclosure of citizens’ information demands.

Abstract Background The Health in All Policies approach has been increasingly used to assess public health impact of rules and regulations. In 2015, all UN member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) to achieve the 2030 Global Agenda. SDGs can be conceived in a practical way, as analytic tools to classify existing legislation. In the context of the ASPHER-ASPPH sponsored “This is Public Health in Italy” campaign, the Public Health Schools of University San Raffaele, University of Bologna, University of Pavia and University of Parma decided to monitor their own local governments' level of SDG compliance. The study aims at identifying a procotol for a Health in All Policies, SDG-driven analysis in two Northern Italy Regions: Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. These two regions 4.45 millions and 10.04 million accounting for over 24% of national population. Methods Between November and December 2019, two teams were established for separate analyses of the 2 Regions. All laws were retrieved from the two Regional Council's offical websites. Exclusion criteria were set by ruling all healthcare-related laws out of the analysis. An agreement was reached to label each law with the most representatives SDG tackled. As a proxy for internal validity, results were double-blinded. Each Regional Group met collectively and double-checked the other group's anlysis. To minimise detection bias, results were sent anonymously to the Scientific Committee, who supervised the analytic process and solved disagreements. Results A total of 57 laws were examined, 26 issued by Lombardy Region and 31 by Emilia-Romagna Region. SDG-related laws number was: 11 (42%) in Lombardy Region, whereas in Emilia-Romagna Region the proportion was much higher (n = 22, 71%). The most addressed SGD in Lombardy Region was number 15 (Life on Land), while in Emilia-Romagna number 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth). Conclusions SDGs can be considered an innovative indicator to measure governement's activities and monitor the progress towards achieving the 2030 Global Agenda. Key messages Sustainable Development Goals are useful tools for policy analysis. The “This is Public Health in Italy” campaign allowed for a survey of public health legislative initiatives.

 With the enactment of a global agenda known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), all local governments must mainstream the environment in various government programs and policies. The mainstreaming is carried out because of the increase in anthropogenic activities which are predicted to have an impact on the existence of development and the environment. The Province of Bali has a variety of traditional wisdom that has significantly contributed greatly to environmental services and the provision of environmental services. However, increasing population growth has the potential to reduce environmental quality because of the excessive exploitation of natural resources without taking into account the sustainability of Bali's natural resource functions that have limitations. Related to this, the sensitivity and alignments of the environment that were patterned in the SDGs from various stakeholders need to be improved in an effort to build togetherness to conduct environmental management holistically.

Platform Economy

The platform economy is growing exponentially while creating expectations for its potential to contribute to a sustainable development. However, research aimed at showing the potential contribution of each platform’s business model to sustainable development is needed. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are driving the policy agenda, but it remains unclear how far they encourage a sustainable platform economy. First, this article aims to study how each different type of platform contributes to sustainable development. Second, it analyses if and how the factors that contribute to the sustainable design of platforms are considered in SDGs. The paper departs from a framework of sustainable democratic qualities of the platform economy that considers governance, economic sustainability, technological and data policies, social responsibility, and external impact dimensions. The study is based on an empirical analysis of 60 platforms. The results show that a sustainable design of a platform economy promotes sustainable development. Furthermore, the contributions of the sustainable dimensions of a platform to SDGs are mainly connected to the impact and responsibility and the economic model, but governance and data dimensions are not present in the SDGs. This suggests that SDGs should improve their digital perspective to intertwine better with the sustainable platforms.
