About Us

The Social Environment, Community Empowerment, and Environmental Economics Cluster, University Indonesia brings together works from various scientific fields such as sociology, economics, ecology, psychology, anthropology, politics, philosophy, geography, humanities, and other social sciences to provide an integrated perspective on environmental issues. Understanding social, cultural, and economic perspectives is crucial in environmental research so that the resulting findings are more relevant and able to comprehensively address community needs.

OUR VISION

Social environment is the interaction between society and the natural environment and is pertinent to sustainability. Environmental issues are more than engineering and natural science problems but far reaching social-cultural, political, and economical problems. Addressing these requires a complete understanding of social environment. As values shape attitude towards physical environment, society often determines its continuance through policies, behavior, and other life processes. For that reason, encouraging the proper values help decide how societyprotects the environment.

The Cluster of Social Environment, Community Engagement, and Environmental Economics seeks to highlight the social paradigm which is sometimes lacking within the environmental field. Recognizing this will further assist in tackling environmental concerns through research and publications

Accommodate the need for the development of research in environmental science from social perspective
