Proceedings of the 5th Borneo International Conference (BICAME 2024): Symposium on Digital Innovation, Sustainable Design and Planning (DSP)

This book is an open access.

Sustainability, at its core, is the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This principle recognizes the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic systems and seeks to create a harmonious balance among them. As our global population expands and resource demands increase, the imperative for sustainable development becomes more critical. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion are urgent challenges that require innovative and holistic solutions. Sustainable futures propose a forward-looking approach that considers the long-term impact of our actions on the planet and its inhabitants.

In the pursuit of sustainable futures, innovation plays a central role. Technological advancements, such as those in digitalization and green technology, are essential for creating solutions that address environmental challenges while supporting economic and social development. Sustainable futures require a holistic integration of policies, technologies, and societal practices. This integration involves collaboration across sectors and disciplines to create synergies that amplify positive impacts and minimize negative consequences. Green technology, also known as environmental technology or clean technology, refers to the development and application of products, processes, and services that use renewable materials and energy sources, produce minimal waste and emissions, and have a reduced impact on the environment compared to traditional technologies. The primary goal of green technology is to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. So, the focus is on exploring how integrating digitalization and green technology can propel us toward a more sustainable and resilient future

For this, we need to promote innovative sustainable technologies and ensure equal and universal access to information and financial markets. Hence, the 5th Bicame 2024 offers a conference with various topics that can be used to showcase the development of knowledge from various fields. The presentations run in parallel with the conference. We are grateful to the sponsors and exhibitors for their interest and support for the conference.
