Keywords:
Innovation, Sustainability, Community, Development, SupportAbstract
Creating innovations for sustainability in communities is an essential process for economic and social development, focusing on efficient use of available resources and addressing social problems in the long term. The development and application of innovations in communities not only meet the needs of the community but also promote sustainable development in all aspects. This process requires support from the government, private sector, and community participation in decision-making. Enhancing knowledge and skills within the community, as well as establishing networks for knowledge exchange between communities, are key factors driving the development of sustainable innovations. This paper presents strategies to promote innovation in communities to achieve sustainable development in terms of economy, society, and the environment.
