Pattern Transformation Indonesian Consumption Patterns in the Digital Age: Implications for Sustainability Economy in the Perspective of SDGs 12

Introduction

pattern transformation indonesian consumption patterns in the digital age: implications for sustainability economy in the perspective of sdgs 12. Analisis pola konsumsi Indonesia di era digital, dampaknya pada keberlanjutan ekonomi. Menjelajahi SDGs 12, tantangan limbah, dan solusi konsumsi digital berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Digital transformation has significantly changed Indonesians' consumption patterns, driven by the development of e-commerce and the digitization of financial services. Easy access to goods and services through online platforms increases consumption, but also poses challenges to economic sustainability, such as resource exploitation, increased waste, and the risk of impulsive consumption. This research aims to analyze how changes in consumption patterns in the digital era can be directed towards more sustainable practices in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12. The research method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA approach to screen and analyze literature related to digital consumption transformation and its impact on economic sustainability. The data was analyzed thematically to identify the driving factors of consumption change in the digital era. The results show that digitalization increases consumption efficiency, but also risks encouraging impulsive shopping patterns and increasing waste from e-commerce. On the other hand, digital technology has the potential to support sustainable consumption through innovations such as big data, artificial intelligence, and supply chain optimization. In conclusion, supportive regulations, increased digital literacy, and economic policies that balance consumption growth with sustainability principles are needed so that digitalization does not become a threat to economic and environmental stability.

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent and timely subject: the complex interplay between digital transformation, evolving consumption patterns in Indonesia, and their implications for economic sustainability, specifically viewed through the lens of Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The abstract effectively highlights the dual nature of digital advancements, showcasing how they both facilitate consumption and pose significant challenges related to resource exploitation, waste generation, and impulsive buying. By focusing on a specific geographic context (Indonesia) and linking it to a global sustainable development framework, the research promises valuable insights into local challenges with global relevance. Methodologically, the study's commitment to a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA approach is a strong point, suggesting a rigorous and transparent methodology for synthesizing existing research. The abstract clearly articulates the core tension identified: digitalization's capacity to enhance consumption efficiency while simultaneously risking impulsive shopping patterns and increased e-commerce waste. Furthermore, it commendably moves beyond mere problem identification by emphasizing the proactive potential of digital technologies, such as big data, artificial intelligence, and supply chain optimization, in actively supporting more sustainable consumption practices. This balanced perspective on both the pitfalls and promises of digital transformation is a significant strength. While the abstract provides a solid foundation, the full paper would benefit from elaborating on several key areas. The recommendations for "supportive regulations," "increased digital literacy," and "economic policies that balance consumption growth with sustainability principles" are crucial, yet the abstract leaves the specific mechanisms for their implementation somewhat undefined. A deeper exploration of *how* these elements can effectively counteract the identified challenges, perhaps with concrete policy examples or case studies relevant to the Indonesian context, would significantly enhance the practical applicability of the findings. Additionally, a more explicit discussion of potential trade-offs or conflicting interests between digital-driven economic growth and sustainability objectives could further enrich the analysis.
