One of the international agendas that discusses slum settlements is NUA (New Urban Agenda) that supports goals and objectives then implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which include 17 Sustainable Development Goals up to 2030 including the handling and development of slum settlements. In Indonesia, there are several programs for dealing with slums, including the KOTAKU program which is one of the strategic efforts of the Directorate General of Human Settlements and one of the districts that launched a slum handling program, namely Batubara Regency, including those located in Bandar Rahmat Village, mostly area is in the coastal area. Spread of housing with inadequate conditions and irregularity of buildings and the lack of environmental infrastructure are the main problems. Seeing the complexity of the existing problems, it is necessary to conduct a research study on residential areas which will then be formulated in a strategic plan for handling slums and prioritizing the provision of facilities and infrastructure to improve environmental quality in Bandar Rahmat Village area.

In September 2015, the 193 Member States of the United Nations (UN) unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to transform the world over the next 15 years (ESDN, 2016). To meet the ambitions and demands of the 2030 Agenda, it is necessary for the global indicator framework to adequately and systematically address the issue of alternative data sources and methodologies, including geospatial information and Earth observations in the context of geographic location (UN-GGIM, 2016). For this purpose, the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goals Indicator (IAEG-SDGs) created the Working Group on Geospatial Information (IAEG-SDGs: WGGI) to give full play to the role of geospatial data in SDGs measurement and monitoring. The Working Group reviewed global indicators through a ‘geographic location’ lens to pick out those which geospatial information can significantly support the production, and analyzed the methodological and measurements issues. This paper has discussed the progress in monitoring SDGs ever since the establishment of IAEG-SDGs: WGGI, as well as the existing problems, appropriate solutions and plans for the next stage of work.

Due to limited researches in Egypt linking between E-government with Sustainable Development Goals. This study aims to clarify contribution of Egovernment services in achieving SDGs and some of its literary references and the relationship between them by using a methodology clarifying the relationship between the SDGs and the e-government services and provides the researchers and anyone wants to improve or add a new service to E-government services or achieve the SDGs and its domains with data that help them ease of choice and decision making. E-government services have been sorted and tested to verify whether these services are available or not. furthermore, classification of SDGs and linking eservices to them has been provided through a matrix assessing Egyptian E-government services parameters to achieve SDGs and targets. This study has found that almost all Egypt Ministries and other governmental organizations have websites, mostly used for providing structural information functions, activities, news, and services helping in achieving SDGs. Despite the limited number of Egyptian e-services and their domains, it contributes to the achievement of 11 goals (about 65%) and 33 SDG targets (about 20 %)

Whether smartphone, smart home or smart city—digitalisation determines almost all areas of our lives today. The topic of sustainability is also omnipresent in 2019 and numerous challenges associated with it are currently being discussed. Digitalisation and sustainability can thus be regarded as the two megatrends of the 21st century. The question of whether digitalisation is an instrument for achieving sustainable development is increasingly at the centre of the debate. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda are of particular interest for assessing digitalisation as a potential means of achieving sustainable development. With the help of empirical work by students from the University of Kaiserslautern, this edited volume provides answers to the question of how different digital technologies can help to achieve these 17 goals.

This paper considers noise and its control in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainable development involves the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity, and the UN SDGs describe the major development challenges in these pursuits. The SDG Framework comprises 17 broad goals, that cover a wide range of issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water, clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, climate, responsible consumption, and production, amongst others. Although noise and its management are not clearly identified in any of the 17 goals, this paper posits that noise is an issue cross-cutting through almost all of the goals. Through the lens of the SDGs, this paper summarizes how a failure to adequately address noise presents a significant challenge to the realization of sustainable development.

Achieving sustainable development goals is the task of all countries, both developed and developing. At the same time, almost all countries are moving to a digital economy, with the core of e-commerce. The study aims to identify the connections between these two areas and analyze the effects that may arise as a result. The analysis showed that e-commerce is linked to 10 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. For the most part, these effects are positive. However, to achieve the most positive impact, the interest of both Internet companies and consumers is required.

Tax crimes and corruption have caused huge losses in various countries. Therefore, one of the emphases of the Sustainable Development Goals is how to reduce corruption substantially in all its forms. Corruption and tax crimes can be interrelated. Hence, appropriate policies are needed from the tax authorities and anti-corruption authorities in handling them. This study aims to discover the collaboration design in dealing with tax crimes and corruption. The analysis results illustrate that systematic design can be carried out through collaboration between tax authorities and anti-corruption authorities by considering three aspects. The first aspect is identifying tax non-compliance behaviour, the second is identifying tax crime and corruption indicators, while the third aspect is determining the form of collaboration needed. This study also opens up opportunities for collaboration in the form of information exchange by the Directorate General of Taxes and the Corruption Eradication Commission through a tax monitoring and public complaints database and state administrators’ assets report.
