The main
source of sustainable development policy in Indonesia is the 1945 Constitution.
The 1945 Constitution has been amended four times, where the concept of
sustainable development is only included in the fourth amendment established on
August 10, 2002. With these regulations the principles of environmentally
friendly development have begun to be applied and international agreements
began to be implemented through national development policy. This is in line
with the establishment of the United Nations (UN) which makes environmental
issues a principle of sustainable development based on the results of a
conference on development and environment in Rio de Janeiro-Brazil or more
popular with the Rio Earth Summit (Rio Summit).
Writing
entitled "Analysis of Environmental Elements as a Model of Structural
Hierarchy (MoSH) for Sustainable Development" published in the journal
"International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology (IJCIET) Volume
10, Issue 01, January2019", concluded that: Environmental management which
is quite complex related to sustainable development, must consider energy
efficiency, waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and disaster-prone areas. This can
be achieved only by considering and understanding the environmental index,
taking into account green open space, water and air quality, and conversion of
paddy fields. Therefore, the most recent contribution of this research is the
Model of Structural Hierarchy (MoSH) in the field of Environment which
influences sustainable development. Related to sustainable development,
comprehensively not only involves environmental aspects but also involves
economic and social aspects
The concept of sustainable development
is a development process that in principle "meets the needs of the present
without compromising the fulfillment of the needs of future generations"
(according to the Brundtland Report from the United Nations, 1987). The goal of
sustainable development is to eradicate poverty and hunger to achieve food
security and to improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. The
efforts made aim to:
1.
Give the possibility of survival by preserving the functions and capabilities
of the ecosystem that supports it
2.
Utilizing natural resources by using environmentally friendly technology
3.
Provide opportunities for other sectors and activities to develop together in
all regions in the same or different time periods
4.
Improve and preserve the ability and function of ecosystems to supply natural
resources
5.
Using procedures and procedures that pay attention to the sustainability of the
functions and abilities of ecosystems to support livelihoods
Sustainable development is not only in
terms of environmental aspects, but sustainable development is an interaction
between environmental aspects, economic aspects, and social aspects (Figure 1)
The insistence of the population
resulted in the reduction of agricultural land. Open land, peatlands and other
ecology and threaten the culture and values of urban society (World Bank,
2003). Therefore, regional development, both urban and rural, can no longer be
based on economic development alone, but must be based on sustainable
development (Hall and Ulrich, 2000). Pearce & Tunner (1990: 42) argues that
the meaning of sustainable development lies in the issue of how the natural
environment should be treated in order to play a role in economic
sustainability as a resource for improving living standards. Sustainable
development according to Pearce & Tunner (1990: 24) means the use of
renewable resources is proportional to its natural availability over time. The
calculation or consideration of costs and environmental damage is also an
important instrument for achieving sustainable development. A very well-known
or universal definition of sustainable development was given by The World
Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) 1987, known as the Brundtland
Commission definition: "Sustanaible development is the development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs "According to WCED (in Hadi, 2001: 2).
There are two main concepts of the definition, "First the concept of needs
or needs that are essential for the poor and need to be prioritized. Second,
the concept of limitation or limitation of the ability of the environment to
meet present and future generations. For this reason, arrangements are needed
so that the environment is still able to support development activities in
order to meet human needs (Hadi, 2001: 2)
In conclusion, the article entitled
"Analysis of Environmental Elements as a Model of Structural Hierarchy
(MoSH) for Sustainable Development" needs to be further developed not only
to review environmental aspects but also to include economic aspects and social
aspects in the discussion. Thus, sustainable development can be completed comprehensively.
