This study investigates the roles of green investment, climate change mitigation strategies, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in promoting sustainable infrastructure development. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 115 respondents involved in infrastructure planning and implementation, utilizing a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis using SPSS version 26 revealed that all three variables significantly and positively influence sustainable infrastructure development, with climate change mitigation strategies having the strongest impact. The regression model explains 72% of the variance in sustainable infrastructure development, highlighting the interconnectedness of financial, environmental, and social dimensions. These findings underscore the importance of integrated strategies, providing actionable insights for policymakers, investors, and corporate leaders to drive sustainability in infrastructure projects.</p> Zainal Arifin, Ahmad Rizani, Loso Judijanto, Ferry WF Waangssir, Muhammadong Muhammadong Copyright (c) 2024 Sustainable Development Insights https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/sdi/article/view/1461 Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Analysis of the Role of Environmentally Friendly Product Innovation and Green Marketing in Increasing the Competitiveness of the Textile Industry https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/sdi/article/view/1462 <p>This study examines the impact of environmentally friendly product innovation and green marketing on the competitiveness of the textile industry.

This study systematically reviews 12 peer-reviewed documents from the Scopus database to analyze the environmental, health, social, and economic impacts of these initiatives. Key findings reveal that green infrastructure reduces pollution, mitigates urban heat, and promotes social cohesion, while effective waste management minimizes environmental hazards and improves public health. Integrated approaches amplify these benefits, enabling resource recovery and community engagement. However, challenges such as funding limitations, policy gaps, and low public awareness hinder optimal implementation. The study highlights the need for holistic strategies combining technology, policy integration, and community participation to address urban sustainability challenges effectively.</p> Loso Judijanto, Zainuddin Latuconsina, Veronika Yuni Trisnowati, Ferry WF Waangssir, Ida Farida Copyright (c) 2024 Sustainable Development Insights https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/sdi/article/view/1464 Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Impact of Product Price, Public Awareness, and Social Media on Changes in Consumption Patterns of Fashion Products https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/sdi/article/view/1465 <p>This study examines the impact of product price, public awareness, and social media on changes in consumption patterns of fashion products.
