“…For instance, (G3) Good Health and Well-being aim to decrease the number of mortality and achieve a better quality of healthcare services (Çağlar & Gürler, 2021 ), which was supported by patient safety (C 2 ) and average hospital stay (C 8 ). Moreover, (G9) industry, innovation, and infrastructure are related to sustainable industrialization, advancement of technological capabilities, and easy access to information (Çağlar & Gürler, 2021 ). Hence, information availability (C 3 ) and innovation and improvement (C 6 ) were covered in goal nine.…”

This study presents a multi-layer fuzzy-based decision-making approach to enhance the hospital Circular Supply Chain (CSC) performance by focusing on intensive care units (ICU) via key performance indicators analysis. In this regard, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Institution Fuzzy Delphi (IFD) are employed to extract the relevant and prominent KPIs. After, a hybrid Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM) and Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (FDEMATEL) have been applied to illustrate a conceptual framework for the CSC performance management of the healthcare sector in the emerging economy of Iran. As a result, eight critical indicators emanated from the SLR-IFD approach. Furthermore, sixteen relationships amongst the performance indicators were identified via hybrid FCM-FDEMATEL. Inventory availability, information availability, innovation, and technology were selected as the most influential indicators. Besides, changing the information technology category, including information availability and Innovation and technology, had the most impact on the performance of the entire CSC. This study attempts to evaluate hospitals’ circular supply chain performance, by designing the circular evaluation framework. Hospital managers can use the results of this research to improve their internal circular supply chain performances in the intensive care units by understanding the different scenarios.

“…The first research question has been answered by applying a cluster analysis to identify patterns of performance in the analyzed samples, based on the available information on the level of SDG achievement, with all the goals grouped under the 5Ps. This method has been widely used in the field of sustainable development for the classification of bioclimatic regions (Roshan et al, 2022), environmental and technological innovations (Tsenina et al, 2022), sustainable energy development (Marti & Puertas, 2022), and interrelationships among SDG indicators (Cling & Delecourt, 2022; Çağla and Gürler, 2022). In this paper, the use of a hierarchical cluster analysis is proposed, based on Ward's method and squared Euclidean distance.…”

The sustainable development goals are aimed at making humankind aware of the importance of establishing common guidelines relating to three fundamental purposes: eradicating poverty, protecting the planet, and improving people's lives. Sustainable development is linked to financial and business risk, financing is necessary to achieve the SDGs. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyze the homogeneity in SDG achievement, based on People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership for year 2021. To that end, a cluster analysis is applied, distinguishing between two samples of countries defined by their level of wealth. Furthermore, a synthetic indicator is used to produce a ranking of countries according to their achievement of the SDGs; contingency tables are then created and the χ2 test is used to identify which country risk factors are associated with SDG achievement. The results indicate that the major powers perform similarly in successfully achieving the 5Ps. Also, the χ2 test confirms that a good economic and financial position which allows access to international financial markets at a reasonable cost is linked to optimal SDG achievement in high‐income areas. However, Economic assessment, Access to international capital markets and Debt indicators are not associated with better SDG achievement in the poorest countries.

“…The first research question is answered by applying cluster analysis to identify patterns of performance in the analysed cities based on the available information on the degree of compliance with the SDGs, all aggregated under the 5Ps. This method has been widely used in various fields of the literature such as medicine (Lin et al, 2021), transportation (Corrêa de Carvalho & Dumke de Medeiros, 2021; Medina‐Molina & Rey‐Tienda, 2022), education (Duta et al, 2021) and even in the context of the SDGs (Çağlar & Gürler, 2022; Linnerud et al, 2021; Pizzi et al, 2021). This paper uses a hierarchical cluster analysis, based on Ward's method and squared Euclidean distance.…”

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require the implementation of 167 targets aimed at eradicating poverty, protecting the planet and improving the quality of life of humankind. The United Nations calls for uniform sustainable development at the global, local and individual levels. This research pursues a twofold objective: first, to obtain evidence on the extent to which the achievement of the (SDGs) may be uniform across territories; second, to identify the socioeconomic characteristics that contribute to sustainable development. The empirical analysis has been carried out using clustering, cross efficiency and contingency tables applied to statistical information from 101 municipalities in Spain and Italy. The results provide evidence of inequalities between territories, revealing that only in the dimensions People (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Prosperity (SDGs 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) has the desired homogeneity been attained. Notable differences are found in the degree of compliance with the other SDGs. Furthermore, it is shown that the socioeconomic characteristics associated with the geographical location contribute substantially to the gap between municipalities. In order to ensure countries' sustainable development, there is a need for environmental policies adapted to the specific features of each region.
