Conference Summary :

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our sincere pleasure to officially present the proceedings, which is based on the 4th-International Conference of Graduate School on Sustainability (4th-ICGSS) with the tittle of “SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES IN THE INDUSTRY 4.0 AND SOCIETY 5.0 ERA“. Graduate School of University of Merdeka Malang as an educational institution takes a role in a small part in the academic field by conducting scientific discussions from scholars and practitioners in a conference forum.

The exploration of sustainable development issues is still very open, especially at the regional level. These issues inspired Graduate Program, University of Merdeka Malang to develop research and teaching in sustainability topics. The conference is based on the belief that there are a large number of contemporary studies that are interdisciplinary and in the form of regional case studies in different countries. The conference also offers issues of the issue of industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. These issues are initiated by the world's developed countries, especially Germany and Japan, which are facing their own country's socio-political challenges. Nevertheless the background that remains the same and applies universally is the influence of data technology advances such as big data and 'Internet of things'.

The conference is intended to explore how Indonesia and other international audiences face these issues. We hope this proceedings as a collection of research articles will be useful to assist the Indonesian government in particular and other parties in the world in providing alternative solutions and challenges for sustainability in the future.
