Development Goals

The United Nations (UN) adopted the seventeen “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) in early September 2015. One of these goals is SDG 11, which refers to the sustainable cities and communities. In this context, local governments face the challenge of aligning with this objective. As a result, they are increasing outreach to their organizational boundaries to involve citizens in policy making and strategy development, continually listening to citizens’ voices. One of the methods citizens use to express themselves is social media. This paper will emphasize social media platforms and specially Twitter to explore the public discourse about cities in the context of SDG 11. We applied descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis to analyze the tweets that include terms and hashtags referring to the SDG 11. The data analysis process is composed of three major procedures: 1-Engagement analysis, 2-Trends based analysis and 3-Data Insights. Our results show that: 1-the COVID’19 pandemic negatively impacted users engagement towards SDG 11, 2-new technologies such AI and IoT are gaining more importance to help cities reach SDG 11, and 3-the SDGs are related and one SDG can impact other SDGs.

Financial Infrastructure

Financial technology-based firms (FinTech) are crucial to promoting new technologies and advances in innovations related to the financial field, sustainable development, and financial inclusion. This paper aims to assess the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and open innovation integrated within the public discourse in the social media of FinTech firms, using machine-learning-based social media analysis (SMA). Accordingly, we tracked the behavior of 21 firms based on the empirical material of 32,716 posts on Twitter. The outcomes showed dissimilar discourses based on FinTech firms’ activities. However, it was found that only financial infrastructure, lending, and personal finance fields have a discourse related to innovation and, to a lesser extent, related to the SDGs thematic. Thus, awareness of sustainable objectives is still far from being a relevant issue for FinTech, which, in general, has neglected to significantly mention SDGs; nonetheless, innovation and related terms are a consistent topic in this area. Furthermore, hints of the implementation of the open innovation paradigm and interest in novel technologies are demonstrated, in addition to the promotion of different actors and events on social media that serve as a showcase for firms that have a presence on Twitter.

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.

The growing role that computing will play in addressing the world's pressing global issues has begun to move to center state, as Big Data for the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) is now included among the United Nations' Global Issues. The UN summarizes this Big Data issue as "The volume of data in the world is increasing exponentially. New sources of data, new technologies, and new analytical approaches, if applied responsibly, can allow to better monitor progress toward achievement of the SDGs in a way that is both inclusive and fair" [2], Elsewhere, we have applauded and argued for computing initiatives, including computer science education, that specifically focus on such "pressing social, environment, and economic problems" [1] and we acknowledge our SIGs commitment to directly tackling such issues.

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.

Penelitian ini betujuan untuk memberikan gambaran keberhasilan dari Bojonegoro dalam mengelola Sumber Daya Alam Migas yang dimilikinya di era otonomi daerah. Kebijakan politik desentralisasi dan pelaksanaan Otonomi Daerah dalam skala besar-besaran telah berlangsung setidaknya selama 2 dekade terakhir, tetapi tidak sedikit pejabat daerah yang terbukti melakukan tindak pidana korupsi serta banyak kepala daerah yang berperilaku seperti raja-raja kecil. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori policy making dalam bingkai desentralisasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak semua daerah mengalami kegagalan, ada daerah yang berhasil mengembangkan sumber daya alam untuk pengurangan angka kemiskinan dan pengembangan pendidikan seperti Kabupaten Bojonegoro sekadar menyebutkan satu contoh bisa dijadikan proyek percontohan keberhasilan pelaksanaan otonomi daerah. Bojonegoro dibawah kepemimpinan Suyoto dapat mengelola Sumber Daya Alamnya untuk sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyatnya. Diantaranya pembangunan yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintahan Kabupaten Bojonegoro pasca 2008 dapat dilihat dari beberapa indikator pembangunan yang meliputi: Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, Tingkat Kemiskinan, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Open Government Partnership (OGP). Bojonegoro menjadi contoh dari keberhasilan Pemerintah Daerah dalam mengelola Sumber Daya Alam diera Otonomi Daerah. Hal ini bisa menjadi contoh bagi daerah-daerah otonom lain dalam mengelola kebijakan pengelolaan sumber daya alam guna sebesar-besar kemakmuran rakyat.

Achieving sustainable development goals in a very dynamic and complicated world requires innovated solutions. As people are in the heart of the developmental process, understanding what motivates people and what drives their behaviors is a must for designing policies targeting the achievement of developmental goals. This paper aims to assess how the behavioral economics’ tools may be applied to directing people’s behaviors toward more sustainable activities and then contributing to achieve sustainable development goals. Using deductive qualitative approach, and a comparative analysis, the study explores and discusses to what extent insights and techniques from behavioral economics may affect and change policy making process and then public policies' outcomes specifically in the context of sustainable development disciplines. The results showed a vital role of behavioral economics tools in developing public policies in accordance to real behaviors of people which -in turn- help in achieving sustainable development goals. Moreover, it was concluded that changing humans' behaviors toward more sustainable patterns of life provides so many opportunities to strengthen the effectiveness of policies for sustainable development in both developed and developing countries. Using behavioral economics tools, policymakers can design more effective policies to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
