This paper explores the potential of integrating Sharia-compliant financial technology (fintech) innovations with sukuk issuance to drive sustainable infrastructure development in emerging economies. With the rise of digital transformation and the increasing focus on sustainable development, the Islamic financial system provides a unique opportunity to reconcile financial innovation with ethical principles. The study highlights how Sharia fintech platforms, such as crowdfunding and blockchain, can enhance the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of sukuk as a financial instrument. At the same time, sukuk addresses the significant financing gap in infrastructure development while adhering to Islamic principles, such as avoiding riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation). Through a comprehensive literature review and empirical analysis, this research identifies the gaps in existing approaches to financing sustainable infrastructure in emerging economies and proposes a novel integration framework. Findings suggest that the convergence of Sharia fintech and sukuk can facilitate financial inclusion, attract a broader investor base, and accelerate infrastructure financing. Furthermore, this integration supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by ensuring that financial tools align with social justice and environmental stewardship. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on Islamic finance by providing actionable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and fintech developers. It emphasizes the importance of regulatory frameworks and cross-sector collaboration to unlock the full potential of Sharia-complian

This study analyzes the application of collaborative governance in overcoming the phenomenon of overcrowding of visitors and its impact on environmental security at Kaimana Hospital, West Papua. The background of the research is based on the imbalance in the capacity of hospital infrastructure (serving 65,490 people) with the high number of visits, exacerbated by the habit of the community transporting patients en masse and the massive use of JKN services. The descriptive qualitative method is used with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews, observations, and visual documentation. The analysis refers to the theory of Ansell and Gash (2008) which includes starting conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, collaborative process, and outcome. The results of the study show that efforts such as limiting visiting hours and the construction of halfway houses are not optimal due to less participatory policy design, lack of structured dialogue between stakeholders, and top-down leadership. Overcrowding is triggered by narrow waiting rooms, limited facilities, and the disintegration of the queue system. Despite collaborative initiatives, the results are still partial due to weak cross-sector coordination and low community participation. Strategic suggestions include infrastructure improvement, the development of an integrated digital queuing system, intensive socialization, and the formation of collaborative teams across sectors (RSUD, government, TNI/POLRI, and the community). Conflict management training, periodic evaluation, and participatory leadership approaches are also needed to create sustainable service transformation. This study emphasizes that inclusive and transparent collaboration is the key to overcoming overcrowding and strengthening the safety of the hospital environment.

The construction of houses in river border areas is a complex issue involving legal, environmental, and spatial planning aspects. River borders are protected zones designated to maintain the ecological function of rivers and to mitigate disaster risks. In Indonesia, development in these areas is regulated through various legal instruments, including Government Regulation No. 38 of 2011 and the OSS RBA (Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach) system. Local governments play a strategic role in spatial planning, granting permits, conducting supervision, and enforcing the law. However, significant challenges persist, such as inadequate spatial data, weak integration between local and central information systems, and socio-political pressures that influence decision-making. Furthermore, overlapping authorities between central and local governments after the Omnibus Law have further complicated the permitting and monitoring processes. A case study in Tanah Laut Regency reveals that negligence in issuing permits can lead to environmental degradation. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration, strengthened human resource capacity, and policy harmonization between central and local governments are essential. The implementation of a fair, transparent, and risk-based permitting system is key to protecting river border zones and achieving sustainable development that aligns with public interests and environmental preservation.

Air pollution is one of the major public health challenges in Indonesia. This article analyzes the characteristics of main pollutants, emission sources, health impacts, and prevention strategies that have been and are being implemented. Based on secondary data from various government reports, scientific journals, and recent case studies, it was found that emissions from the transportation sector, industry, biomass burning, and forest fires remain the main contributors to air pollution. The impacts include increased incidence of respiratory infections, chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disorders, and economic losses. Preventive efforts such as the adoption of electric vehicles, vehicle emission inspections, and citizen science programs have proven effective but need to be expanded. This article recommends the integration of cross-sectoral policies, the use of modern monitoring technologies, and sustainable public education.

Deforestation remains a critical challenge for sustainable development in Indonesia. This study evaluates the effectiveness of deforestation control policies in supporting the achievement of SDG Target 15.2 on sustainable forest management. Using a qualitative approach with the DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses) analytical framework, the research examines policy documents, government reports, and deforestation datasets from Global Forest Watch. The results indicate that while policies such as the forest moratorium and the FOLU Net Sink 2030 commitment have successfully reduced deforestation in priority areas, their implementation continues to face complex challenges.  Key findings reveal: (1) Economic incentive disparities between central and local governments drive forest exploitation for local revenue; (2) Weak multi-sectoral coordination between forestry policies and infrastructure development; (3) Limited community participation in decision-making processes; and (4) Real-time monitoring systems that are not yet integrated with rapid response mechanisms. The study recommends strengthening green incentives, enhancing collaborative governance, recognizing indigenous community rights, and optimizing monitoring technologies as strategies to accelerate SDG achievement. These findings make significant contributions to environmental policy literature by offering a holistic perspective on deforestation control challenges in developing countries.

The European Green Deal is the European Union's strategy to reduce the impact of climate change and carry out major reforms in the agricultural sector. However, small and medium-sized farmers are suffering losses due to shift to more environmentally friendly agricultural system, stricter regulations, reduced subsidies, and restrictions on chemical fertilizers. In this journal, it can be seen how EGD policies create economic and social vulnerabilities that could threaten food security and the internal stability of the European Union. The methods used are a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis of the impact of green deal policies, which affect farmers and the general public. Data collection was conducted through a literature review of previous studies related to the impacts of the Green Deal. This journal discusses four key areas, the transformation of Green Deal policies, economic vulnerabilities faced by farmers, emerging social-political resistance, and implications for non-traditional security. The research indicates that while EGD policies aim to address climate threats, their implementation has led to non-security issues. A balance between climate and long-term food security is needed. To address social and economic changes at the domestic and regional levels, this study emphasizes the importance of inclusive and adaptive green transition policies.

However, issues such as cultural commodification and waste management remain obstacles. This study highlights the need for policy frameworks grounded in local values and the strengthening of community participation in spatial planning. The findings contribute to the formulation of inclusive and ethical models for sustainable cultural area development.

Household waste management is an important part of maintaining environmental quality. This article is a literature review that aims to identify and analyze the relationship between household waste management and its impact on environmental quality. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the extent to which household waste management behaviors and systems can affect environmental conditions and public health. The method used is a systematic literature review of various scientific journals, research reports, and policy documents published in the last ten years. Data sources were taken from academic databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, with a focus on studies discussing aspects of waste management, sanitation, and health impacts in residential environments. The results of the study show that poor urban waste management, such as littering and open burning, is associated with an increase in environmental diseases. Conversely, good management systems, such as regular sorting and transportation, have a positive impact on the cleanliness and health of the residential environment. Conclusion Good household waste management plays an important role in maintaining a healthy living environment. Organized and participatory practices can reduce the risk of disease and create a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment for communities. 

The policy of granting Mining Business Licenses (IUP) to universities under Article 51A of the Minerba Bill raises legal, ethical, and sustainability concerns. This study applies a qualitative approach through literature review to examine the provision from the perspectives of Indonesian law and Islamic teachings. The findings reveal that allowing universities to manage mining permits risks diminishing their academic role, compromising scholarly independence, and fostering potential conflicts of interest. From the standpoint of positive law, this policy contradicts the precautionary principle, social justice, and educational objectives enshrined in the 1945 Constitution, the Higher Education Law, and the Environmental Protection Law. In Islamic thought, irresponsible exploitation of natural resources is classified as fasād (corruption), strictly prohibited, as reflected in Hadith No. 479 narrated by Bukhari. The study concludes by rejecting the provision and recommends repositioning universities as guardians of sustainability values rather than participants in extractive industries.

Climate change and environmental degradation have negatively impacted mankind's sustainable development. The concept of green entrepreneurship has gradually been accepted by society, including ecoprint batik. Through the application of zero waste, ecoprint batik production offers a strategy that is in line with the principles of green entrepreneurship. This study aims to analyze the application of zero waste to the efficiency of eco-print batik production in the context of green entrepreneurship. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with secondary data collection on batik business actors in Sragen. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive analysis to identify the analysis of the application of zero waste in batik innovation towards green entrepreneurship efforts. The results of the study indicate that the application of zero waste in eco-print batik production has a significant impact on production efficiency, especially in reducing waste and optimizing the use of raw materials. However, there are several obstacles such as higher production costs, limited supply of natural raw materials, and low consumer awareness of the added value of zero waste-based batik. Policy support and incentive programs from the Government are also very important to encourage the sustainability of eco-print batik businesses based on green entrepreneurship.

In the industrial world, especially energy companies are very vulnerable to increasing carbon emissions. Based on the graph managed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, it shows that the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute most are the forestry and energy sectors. So that in 2021 Indonesia has officially adopted a carbon tax policy by issuing Law no. 7 of 2021. The purpose of this study is to test and analyze the significant effect of Green innovation, Environmental, Social and Governance Disclosure and financial performance on the Value of corporations with carbon tax as a moderating variable and applying carbon performance as an intervening variable. The method in this study is to take samples by purposive sampling in the form of secondary data, namely financial statements and sustainability reports in 2021 to 2024 on the Indonesian stock exchange, with a sample of 27 companies. To determine the significance of results between variables, researchers use SEM-PLS 3 software. The results of this study are that financial performance has a positive and significant relationship to carbon performance with a t-statistic value of 3.497> 1.96, namely that increasing financial performance can affect carbon performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. for the next variable, carbon performance has a positive and significant relationship to company value by showing a t-statistic value of 2.596> 1.96 with the assumption that increasing carbon performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions will increase the company's value and be trusted by investors and the public. And the last is that financial performance has a negative and significant relationship to company value with carbon performance as an intervening variable, this shows a t-statistic value of 1.994> 1.96, with increasing financial performance can affect carbon performance so that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced and the company's value increases.
