BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the influence of economic growth, industrialization, government spending, and environmental taxes on environmental quality as well as the influence of environmental quality, unemployment, and inflation on Indonesia’s economic growth. This condition is important to maintain environmentally friendly economic development to achieve sustainable development.METHODS: The study was conducted using simultaneous equation model analysis considering classical assumption tests such as normality tests, granger causality and heteroscedasticity. This study data began in 2015 to 2021 in 34 provinces in Indonesia. In this study, the determinants of environmental quality used were industrialization, government spending and environmental taxes, whereas those of economic growth were unemployment and inflation.FINDINGS: The results of the study indicate that economic growth, industrialization, government spending and environmental taxes have a significant effect on Indonesia’s environmental quality. Collectively, these determinants account for 22.18 percent of the variance. However, environmental quality and unemployment do not have a significant effect on Indonesia’s economic growth. Meanwhile, inflation has a significant effect on economic growth. Simultaneously, the influence of the determinants of economic growth is 33.52 percent.CONCLUSION: Economic growth, industrialization, government spending and environmental taxes have a significant influence on Indonesia’s environmental quality. On the other hand, environmental quality and unemployment do not have a significant effect on Indonesia’s economic growth. Meanwhile, inflation has a significant effect on economic growth. The policies suggested, include the following 1) the government must be able to maintain environmental quality while still encouraging economic growth, implemented by creating an environmentally sound growth concept or applying the green economic concept to harmonize growth and the environment; 2) the industrialization process must be maintained so that it does not damage the environment, and pollution threshold rules created in the industrialization process must be applied

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to create an environmentally friendly hospital at West Pasaman regional public hospital by implementing a sustainable development model, which consists of the green hospital, green building, green innovation, and green human resource management. The researchers previously discussed the physical aspects of the building, efficiency related to energy saving and hospital waste management. However, from several references obtained, it has not yet been discussed what is the extent of the benefits derived from the entire implementation of the green hospital. Thus, this study contributes to creating an environmentally friendly hospital model mediated by a green hospital and it is influenced by green building, green innovation, and green human resource management.METHODS: The study method uses a survey, which uses a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The population in this study consisted of employees, visitors, and the community around West Pasaman regional public hospital. The selection of the sample in this study was based on the proportionate cluster random sampling approach, which was analyzed using the structural equation modeling–partial least square method.FINDINGS: There are ten findings for analysis at the West Pasaman regional public hospital. First, green building has a significant effect of 0.187 on the green hospital. Second, green innovation has a significant effect of 0.230 on the green hospital. Third, green human resource management has a significant effect of 0.235 on the green hospital. Fourth, green building has a significant effect of 0.263 on the environmentally friendly hospital. Fifth, green innovation has a significant effect of 0.192 on the environmentally friendly hospital. Sixth, green human resource management has a significant effect of 0.197 on the environmentally friendly hospital. Seventh, the green hospital has a significant effect of 0.241 on the environmentally friendly hospital. Eighth, green building has a significant effect of 0.045 on the environmentally friendly hospital mediated by the green hospital. Ninth, green innovation has a significant effect of 0.055 on the environmentally friendly hospital mediated by the green hospital. Tenth, green human resource management has a significant effect of 0.057 on the environmentally friendly hospital mediated by the green hospital.CONCLUSION: Implementation of the sustainable development model as a form of environmental management policy at the West Pasaman regional public hospital is optimally needed in order to achieve an environmentally friendly hospital. This study recommends employees, visitors the community around the West Pasaman regional public hospital to increase the green hospital, green building, green innovation, and green human resource management in achieving an environmentally friendly hospital.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study is investigated on endogenous variables inclusive of green growth by developing the concept of inclusive green growth in Indonesia. The objective of the current study was to describe the conditions of inclusive green development in each province in Indonesia, which is due to the unavailability of data describing the conditions of inclusive green development.METHODS: This study used time series data from 2011-2019, and cross section data of 34 provinces, which were analyzed using panel data regression research methods. The novelty of this study is the use of environmental quality variables to replace environmental degradation in calculating the composite variable of inclusive green growth. The determinants of inclusive green growth used in this study were inclusive human development, regional independence, infrastructure, crime, industrialization and natural disasters.FINDINGS: The important study findings were inclusive human development, regional financial performance, infrastructure and natural disasters have a significant positive effect on inclusive green growth in Indonesia. On the other hand, industrialization had a significant negative effect on inclusive green growth in Indonesia, while crime did not have a significant effect on inclusive green growth in Indonesia. Simultaneously, inclusive human development, regional independence, infrastructure, crime, industrialization and natural disasters had a significant impact on inclusive green growth in Indonesia.CONCLUSION: The second hypothesis in this study proved to be accepted. Meanwhile, the first hypothesis is not entirely accepted. Therefore, it is highly recommended for the provincial government in Indonesia to intervene on the variables of inclusive human development, regional financial performance, infrastructure, industrialization and natural disasters to increase inclusive green growth. Meanwhile, for future researchers, it is recommended to find other variables that contribute in achieving inclusive green growth.
