Implementation of Global Sustainable Development Goals at the Local Level: Studies of Home Industry in Kedunglengkong Village, Simo sub-district, Boyolali District, Central Java Province, Indonesia

Introduction

Implementation of global sustainable development goals at the local level: studies of home industry in kedunglengkong village, simo sub-district, boyolali district, central java province, indonesia. This study analyzes how Kedunglengkong home industries implement SDG 12 (responsible consumption/production) through plastic waste recycling.

Abstract

A Development is carried out to reduce disparities between regions. The increase in human population is followed by the intensity of land and resource use, interactions and changes that occur, until nature has boundaries, or planetary boundaries. Sustainable development has 17 goals that are universal, comprehensive and involve all countries. How to implement sustainable development goals at the local level. This research aims to analyze the implementation of sustainable development goals at the local level, namely responsible industry and consumption. This research uses a quantitative approach, the research location is Kedunglengkong Village, Simo District, Boyolali Regency, Central Java Province. The research population is home industry owners with a population of 35 people, using total sampling or the entire population as the unit of analysis. The research variables are indicators of sustainable development goal 12, responsible consumption and productive patterns. The data source used is primary data collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis uses descriptive percentages, with tables and figures. The research results show that there are 35 home industries that use raw materials from plastic waste. The raw material used is plastic waste originating from the surrounding environment. Home industries that use plastic waste as raw material are a concrete manifestation of the implementation of responsible industry and consumption, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goal indicators at point 12.5., namely by 2030, substantially reducing waste production through prevention, reduction, recycling and use return. Furthermore, in indicator 12.5.1 (a) the amount of recycled waste generated.

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent topic: the localized implementation of the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing specifically on SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) within the context of home industries in Kedunglengkong Village, Indonesia. The study's clear objective to analyze local-level SDG implementation is commendable, offering a valuable case study that bridges the gap between global agendas and practical, grassroots initiatives. By examining home industries utilizing plastic waste, the research highlights a tangible and innovative approach to waste reduction and resource utilization, presenting a concrete example of how communities can contribute to sustainable development, particularly in a developing country context. The focus on a specific, identifiable group (home industry owners) in a defined geographical area provides a valuable snapshot of local efforts. However, the methodology described in the abstract presents some inconsistencies and areas for improvement. The claim of using a "quantitative approach" with data collected through "observation and in-depth interviews" and analyzed with "descriptive percentages" suggests a potential misalignment. While descriptive statistics can be part of a quantitative study, the primary data collection methods lean heavily towards qualitative inquiry. Clarifying whether this is a descriptive qualitative study, a mixed-methods approach, or a quantitative study relying solely on descriptive frequencies would strengthen the methodological rigor. Furthermore, while total sampling of 35 home industry owners is appropriate for a small, defined population, the depth of analysis indicated by "descriptive percentages" might limit the extent to which the study can truly "analyze the implementation" beyond simply identifying its existence. A more robust qualitative analysis of interview data, for instance, could provide deeper insights into the *mechanisms*, *challenges*, and *success factors* of this implementation. Despite these methodological points, the core finding—that home industries utilizing plastic waste are a "concrete manifestation" of SDG 12.5—is significant and worthy of dissemination. To further enhance the paper's contribution, the discussion could benefit from a more nuanced exploration of the "how" and "why" behind this success. For instance, what local incentives or challenges drive these industries? What are the broader socio-economic impacts on the community, and what are the long-term sustainability prospects of this model, considering the supply chain of plastic waste and the market for resultant products? Exploring the "responsible consumption" aspect of SDG 12 in more detail, beyond just industrial production, would also provide a more holistic understanding. Such elaborations would not only deepen the academic value but also offer practical insights for policymakers and development practitioners seeking to replicate similar initiatives elsewhere.
