This study evaluated the sustainability of Jing-Jin-Ji Region by exploiting as emergy tool for transforming the consumption to the land area appropriated, and analyzed the development level by attempting to integrate with human development index. The result showed that emergy energy footprint per capita in the Jing-Jin-Ji region has increased from from 5.6917 hm2to 10.5596 hm2within the past ten years at an average growth of 9.50% annually, appearing unsustainability. It was also demonstrated that the energy deficit , energy footprint itensify and energy pressure index were presented to depict severe insecurity of the ecological system. And the value of human development index in the region were higher than the corresponding nationwide average value, indicating a certain degree development of society and economy. The study would provide the foundation for regional sustainable development research in similar area.

Food And Nutrition

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Human Development Index (HDI) on development trend during 1980-2012 in Indonesia improved, but food insecurity is still frequently found and prone to chronic malnutrition. The paper aims to analyze the magnitude and characteristics of food insecurity and nutrition vulnerability as well as to identify their causes. Thus, it is expected that the incident case management can be handled earlier. Periodically performing and updating food and nutrition insecurity mapping are very relevant. The level of food insecurity and malnutrition in Indonesia is almost high. In relation to the MDG target, conditions are still far from the targeted magnitude. It requires a breakthrough in reducing the prevalence of malnutrition among infants and energy deficit population. In addition, it needs sustainable food supply by increasing food production through food self-sufficiency. Thus, food and nutrition security approach is alternative to implement for handling food insecurity and malnutrition by increasing cross-sector synergy.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Selama 1990-2012 trend perkembangan Human Development Index (HDI) di Indonesia membaik, namun masih banyak kejadian rawan pangan maupun rawan gizi kronis. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis besaran, identifikasi dan karakteristik rawan pangan dan rawan gizi serta penyebabnya. Dengan demikian diharapkan akan lebih dini dalam penanganan kasus kejadian tersebut. Pemutakhiran pemetaan kerawanan/kerentanan pangan dan gizi secara berkala sangat relevan dilakukan. Data empirik menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerawanan pangan dan gizi di Indonesia tergolong mendekati tinggi. Dikaitkan dengan target sasaran dari MDGs, kondisi tersebut masih jauh dari besaran yang ditargetkan. Untuk itu perlu terobosan dalam menurunkan prevalensi rawan pangan dan gizi kronis, yakni menurunkan prevalensi gizi kurang pada balita dan penduduk yang defisit energi. Selain itu, perlu adanya penyediaan pangan yang berkelanjutan dengan meningkatkan produksi pangan melalui kemandirian pangan. Mengingat pentingnya perwujudan ketahanan pangan dan gizi, maka ke depan diharapkan pendekatan ketahanan pangan harus dipadukan dengan pendekatan penanganan masalah gizi. Dengan demikian pendekatan ketahanan pangan dan gizi menjadi alternatif untuk diimplementasikan dalam penanganan masalah rawan pangan dan gizi dengan meningkatkan sinergi lintas sektor.</p>

The Impact

The article explores the impact of the quality and volume of energy consumption of the population on the human development index using a sample of a number of countries as an example. The hypothesis concerning the relationship between the amount of energy consumed, the human development index (HDI), and the environment (CO2 emissions into the atmosphere) has been verified. The study results show that the size and rating of the HDI are influenced by such factors as urbanization growth, gross domestic product (GDP), gross national income (GNI) per capita, the share of “clean” energy consumption by the population and business in total energy consumption, the level of socio-economic development, and R&D expenses. In the course of building the model, the recommendations by the United Nations (UN) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) were used. The results show that the volume of energy consumption not only affects the human development index in a particular country, but is also an important factor in determining the level of sustainable development. The results, obtained in the course of the study and described in the article, may be applicable in the practice of research related to the assessment of human development and sustainable development.

Development Goals

Poverty is one of the goals of the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable Development itself has many indicators such as economic, social, cultural, environment, etc. But in this study, the authors take only a few factors from an economic point of view. Economic growth, open unemployment rate, regional imbalance rate and human development index are some factors that are considered to describe poverty level in East Java Province. This research uses Fixed Effect (FEM) model panel data regression in 38 regencies/cities in East Java Province in 2011-2015. The results of this study indicate that the variables of economic growth and open unemployment variables have no significant effect in describing the level of poverty in East Java. While the variable level of regionalimbalance and variable of HDI have the significant effect on poverty in East Java. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), the reduction of poverty in various regions requires a balance of social and economic, not only through the increase of high economic growth but must be accompanied with equitable distribution of income distribution so that the level of regional inequality is smaller and by improving the quality of resources human beings through Human Development Index (HDI) in each region.
