BUILDING TRANSPARENCY,REPORTING IN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY AS A PILLAR FOR VILLAGE SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Building transparency and reporting in the circular economy is a key element in supporting village sustainability. The circular economy focuses on efficient resource management by minimizing waste and maximizing reuse, recycling, and extension of the useful life of goods. Villages have great potential to implement these principles through local resource management and accurate reporting. Transparency in reporting supports accountability and allows stakeholders to make informed and evidence-based decisions. Therefore, a clear and transparent reporting system is the basis for monitoring the progress and impact of circular economy initiatives at the village level. By involving communities in this process, sustainability can be achieved through active participation in resource management and waste reduction. Effective transparency and reporting are important pillars in implementing a circular economy in villages, supporting sustainability by strengthening accountability and ensuring efficient resource management. Through a clear reporting system, villages can monitor resource use and its impact on the environment and communities. Communities who are directly involved in this process will better understand the importance of waste reduction and reuse of goods. Although challenges in implementing transparency and reporting remain, technology-based solutions and community capacity building can be a way to overcome these obstacles. Therefore, building transparency in the circular economy at the village level is a strategic step to ensure environmental and social sustainability in the future.
