  • Indonesia has policies and strategies for the management of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel that arises from the use of nuclear research and development facilities, including three research reactors, and the use of radioisotopes in medicine and industries. The Indonesian government has provided extensive facilities such as an independent regulatory organization (BAPETEN) and a centralized radioactive waste management organization (CRWT-BATAN). Further, the presence of regulations and several international conventions guarantee the protection of the public from all risks due to handling radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. However, the sustainability of radioactive waste management in the future faces various challenges, such as disposal issues related to not only to site selection but also financing of radioactive waste management. Likewise, the problem of transportation persists; as an archipelago country, Indonesia still struggles to manage the infrastructure required for the transport of radioactive materials. The waste from the production of the radioisotopes, especially from the production of 99Mo, requires special attention because BATAN has never handled it. Indonesia should also resolve the management of NORM from various activities. In Indonesia, the definition of radioactive waste does not include NORM. Therefore, the management of this waste needs revision and improvement on the regulations, infrastructure, and technology.

  • This study evaluates Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects in Thailand from 2011 to 2013 by deploying the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) evaluation criteria. Special attention is placed on disaster-related development assistance activities of Japan through reviewing long-term impacts of the projects. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has played a crucial role in transferring Japan's experiences on disaster risk management to developing countries, including Thailand. The study highlights two flood risk management projects in Thailand with the support of JICA after the 2011 floods, namely the Project for the Comprehensive Flood Management Plan for the Chao Phraya River Basin and the Project for Flood Countermeasures for Thailand Agriculture Sector. The case studies demonstrate that the projects were efficiently and effectively conducted for meeting Thailand's needs and requirements. JICA provided multi-hazards risk analysis through scientific data as well as local knowledge. However, achievements of the project did not last for long because of a lack of Thai stakeholders' commitment and JICA's post-project management. It is concluded that a development agency should consider impacts and sustainability of flood risk management projects more carefully from the stage of planning, and the practical application of the knowledge, and technologies should also be monitored progressively after the completion of the project.

  • Purpose: ESG management of domestic coffee shops is attracting attention as a capability for corporate sustainability. Therefore, customers who use coffee shops are inevitably affected by ESG policies. By properly operating ESG management, companies can ensure that customers perceive and consume their brands positively. This study examines how ESG management of coffee shops affects customers' perceived authenticity, trust, and brand loyalty, and suggests the direction in which domestic coffee shops should move. Research design, data, and methodology: All variables and hypotheses were determined by previous research, and data were collected for two weeks starting May 23, 2023. 229 people with experience using coffee shops participated in a survey conducted through a Google form, and all 229 responses were used in the analysis. Result: The research results are as follows. All domestic coffee shops presented as examples had a positive impact on brand trust and perceived authenticity through ESG management. However, in the case of environment (E), it can be confirmed that it does not directly affect trust, but indirectly affects trust through perceived authenticity. Conclusions: Domestic coffee shops must establish appropriate policies by recognizing customer interests and opinions in order to significantly increase perceived authenticity and trust through ESG strategies.

  • The participants in an urban and housing redevelopment project were categorized as construction companies, government employees, and housing cooperatives. This study analyzed how a public management system affects the continuous participation intention using comprehensive project satisfaction. The specific factors for the evaluation items of a public management system were composed using advanced research. A hypothesis and research model was set up and verified using the PLS-SEM model to analyse how the continuous participation intention is affected by the public management system via comprehensive projects satisfaction. Setting the project plan and selecting the project tool, as well as post management and sustainability affect the comprehensive projects satisfaction meaningfully in the case of construction companies. The participation of the user, and post management and sustainability affect the comprehensive project satisfaction meaningfully in the case of government employees. The operating organization and using and participation of the user affect the comprehensive project satisfaction meaningfully in the case of a housing cooperative. The comprehensive project satisfaction affects the continuity of the participation meaningfully in the case of all of project participants.

  • The KPI of the four perspectives in BSC need to modify because of the change of management environment. In particular, the KPI of the financial perspective needs to modify necessarily. The KPI of financial perspective has been consisted of short-term measures: net profit current year, operating profit, ROE, ROIC, and EVA. But this financial indicators cannot afford to represent essential corporate sustainability management in the change of management environment. So this study suggests CSV(Creating Shared Value) as an additional KPI of financial perspective. And this study investigates whether CSV represents business performance as the additional KPI in BSC adoption firms. To verify a hypothesis, the sample includes listed firms announcing CSR index publicly between 2005 and 2010. The results of this study are summarized as follows. The high CSV firms is higher on the value relevance of firm in comparison with low CSV firms. Moreover, The firm value of BSC adoption firms is lower than otherwise, but it is insignificant. Limitation of Our study is that we have no choice but to use dummy variable. Because it is a material question as CSV measurement. Nevertheless, contribution of our study is to suggest new KPI of BSC perspective to meet management environment.

  • Smart homes have become the state of the art in the reduction and monitoring of energy usage within a residential setting. Emerging threats such as climate change, global warming and volatility in energy prices have fuelled the interest in smart systems. Given that environmental sustainability has become a more significant factor for consumers, this research examines whether consumers' attitudes toward smart home services for efficient energy management differ according to their regulatory focus. Specifically, it is predicted that consumers will have more favorable attitudes toward smart home services for efficient energy management when they are promotion-focused (vs. prevention-focused). The results indicate that respondents with a promotion (vs. prevention) focus reported significantly more favorable attitudes toward smart home services for energy management (e.g., smart cooling/heating system, smart ventilation & air conditioning system, smart thermostats, smart plugs, and smart switches). We suggest that regulatory focus may be an effective marketing and segmentation tool in promoting smart home services for energy management and facilitating their receptiveness to the services.

  • Purpose: This study aims to figure out the characteristics of corporate life cycle and resource input in terms of the sustainability diagnosis of pharmaceutical companies in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: Using the Gompertz model under the assumption that companies have finite resources, this study tries quantitative interpretation of life cycle and resource input pattern for longevity companies with 25 years of experience among 158 pharmaceutical companies listed on Korean stock market based on maturity of revenue. Results: The study found revenue maturity through Gompertz model was statistically correlated with enterprise value. According to the life cycle analysis, more than 95% of 59 pharmaceutical companies were in the growth and maturity phase and have an average life cycle of 88 years and an average remaining life of 52 years. Regarding maturity profile of resource input, maturity of employees was generally high more than 60% and this meant there was jobless growth in Korean pharmaceutical industry. Conclusion: This study demonstrated there is a high statistical correlation between the maturity of a company's resource input and its revenue and enterprise value. It is believed that these results could be utilized as a basis for high fidelity function that predict revenue and enterprise value based on resource input information.

  • This study aimed to examine the characteristics of ESG activities among major domestic companies in the carbon-emitting industry compared to industries with lower emissions, as ESG has emerged as a significant agenda across various industries. Departing from the traditional focus on the "why" of ESG, which primarily centers around financial performance, this research sought to uncover the "how" of effective ESG management in domestic companies. The analysis involved studying the sustainability reports of 124 companies using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators and comparing high-emitting and non-high-emitting industries. The findings revealed industry-specific patterns in companies' ESG activities, providing valuable insights for future ESG evaluations and assessments. Furthermore, the advancement of rating analysis methods holds implications for ESG rating agencies and financial authorities in terms of policy-making.
