Proceedings of 5th Borobudur International Symposium on Humanities and Social Science (BISHSS 2023)

This is an open access book. In our rapidly evolving modern era, the intersection of green technology and digital society has shifted paradigm shifts across various facets of human life. The fusion of these two domains holds the potential to profoundly impact society’s social aspects. Therefore, The 5th Borobudur International Symposium with the theme “Smart and Sustainable: The Synergy of Green Technology and Digital Society” is designed to delve into and celebrate the strong synergy between green technology and the digital society, specifically focusing on social sciences.

The background of this conference reflects the significant tensions in modern society. On the one hand, we witness innovative strides in green technology to reduce negative environmental impacts and develop more sustainable systems. On the other hand, our society is becoming increasingly interconnected in a vast digital network, enabling unprecedented information exchange that influences social interactions, work, education, and many other aspects of daily life.

As green technology and the digital society converge, new and crucial opportunities and challenges emerge in the social context. Through this International Conference, we hope to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share knowledge, experiences, and innovative ideas to better understand how green technology and the digital society can collaborate to achieve smarter and more sustainable societies.
