  • Description: Handling uncertainty is important in decision making, especially for SDGs problems. Robust Optimization (RO) is an applied optimization method that can be employed to handle optimization under uncertain data. With SDGs problems, many uncertain data have been considered in decision making. With RO, the data uncertainties are assumed to lay within a compact, convex continuous set. There are three special sets that can be used to represent the data, i.e., box, ellipsoidal, or polyhedral uncertainty sets. These special sets lead the SDGs problems to a computationally tractable optimization model, such that the global optimal solution is attained. However, literature reviews on the application of RO in SDGs decision-making is sparse, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic period. This paper examines the following topics: (1) the purposes of studies of RO and SDGs during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) the state-of-the-art in RO-SDGs to determine the research objectives, and (3) the SDGs type of problems that have been modeled using RO. A systematic literature review is conducted in this paper, wherein discussion is based on a PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) flowchart. To this end, the database reference searching conducted on the Scopus, Science Direct, and SAGE databases, is completed using the help RStudio software. The analysis was carried out on two datasets, assisted by the output visualization using RStudio software with the “bibliometrix” package, and using the ‘biblioshiny()’ command to create a link to the “shiny web interface”. In this paper, the research gap on application of RO to SDGs problems is analyzed in order to identify the research objectives, methods, and specific RO-SDGs problems. As a result, the application of RO to SDGs problems is rare; this finding provides a motivation to conduct a further study of RO and SDGs during the COVID-19 pandemic. An expansion is presented using the key phrase “Operations Research and Optimization Modeling”, or “OROM”. SDGs in Indonesia may be referenced as an example of the capacity building available through RO/OROM.
