Since 2002, the Bureau of Statistics of Indonesia (BPS) has produced numerous reports on indicators of sustainable development based on the indicators of the 134 United Nations Sustainable Development Committee, prepared by the United Nations Economic and Social Affairs Bureau. BPS also regularly creates statistics on environmental statistics and marine and coastal resources. In 1999, Silvia Teizzi of Sivia University adopted the currency valuation method for externality caused by Italian agricultural production. She estimated the shadow price and the external factor separately and calculated the annual value from 1961 to 1991. She subtracted these figures from the added value of the agricultural environment as "amendment of the Gross Domestic Accounting to take environmental degradation into account."

This course covers social and other development indicators.

People are paying more and more attention to designing better development measures, including modifying the gross national product, social indicators, and related systems.
