The JOURNAL of SUSTAINABLE FUTURE for HUMAN SECURITY or J-SustaiN originated from the need to provide an inter-disciplinary forum where the most serious problems affecting a sustainable future for human security can be discussed, in recognition of the fact that many future problems cannot be solved by a “siloed” approach. The emphasis on sustainable futures is in response to the general awareness of the need to solve numerous human-related problems resulting from the rapid growth of modern society. The topic of sustainable futures for human security needs to be discussed in an integrated way, in accordance with the principles of sustainability, considering energy and materials supply, economies and trade, technology, cities, agriculture, social and environmental aspects.
The JOURNAL will address problems of primary importance for human security, discussing and proposing a more constructive and progressive approach to ensure future societal sustainability.
The JOURNAL will be published 2 times a year, open access and peer-reviewed, focusing on the development of the above mentioned issues in developing regions such as Asia and Pacific, Africa and South America, and how these regions can develop modern societies in a SUSTAINABLE manner, without jeopardizing the needs of future generations.
As we all know, current human development to provide human comfort shifted not only to serve the primary human needs but also secondary human needs. These needs are increasing in line with the economic development and increase of population. Many countries around the world have experienced rapid increases in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP) with these increases mainly taking place in the Asian and Africa region, where more than 5.2 billion population reside. China, India and Indonesia are some examples of the countries in Asia that have experienced significant increases in their GDP.
To continue providing adequate technology to cope with the thirst of human comfort requires intensive research and development from a multidisciplinary perspective. Research development in solving future human security problems should be carried out under a sustainability perspective. Development can negatively impact the environment and create an inefficient use of natural reserves, which may result in damage to nature by unnecessarily increasing the emission of greenhouse gases or releasing untreated hazardous substances that can jeopardize human health.
The approach on sustaining future of human security from the perspective of the developing world is important. To this end, we would like to ask your kind contribution for sharing and disseminating your novel findings, research activities and critical thinking through the journal of Sustainable Future for Human Security or J-SustaiN
