Implementation of the Bsps (Self-Help Housing Stimulus Assistance) Program Policy in Jatisari Village, Cisompet District, Garut Regency

2026-02-11T02:25:14+00:00

The problem of uninhabitable housing remains a major challenge in rural areas, including in Jatisari Village, Cisompet District, Garut Regency, where the majority of the population is classified as low-income. Limited economic conditions make it difficult for the community to provide adequate housing independently. To address this problem, the government implemented the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance Program (BSPS) as an effort to improve housing quality through stimulus assistance combined with the principle of community self-reliance. However, in practice at the village level, the BSPS program still faces various obstacles that can affect the effectiveness of achieving policy objectives. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BSPS Program policy in Jatisari Village, Cisompet District, Garut Regency. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies, with informants consisting of village officials, BSPS facilitators, and community beneficiaries. Data analysis was carried out through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while the validity of the data was tested using source and technique triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the BSPS Program in Jatisari Village has been running and has provided real benefits in improving the quality of uninhabitable houses. Supporting factors for program implementation include village government support, active community participation, and technical assistance from BSPS facilitators. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors found include limited aid budget, low understanding of some community members regarding program mechanisms, delays in material procurement, and the economic conditions of aid recipients that limit their ability to self-help. This study concludes that the implementation of the BSPS Program policy in Jatisari Village is quite successful, but not yet fully optimal, so it is necessary to improve the quality of socialization, strengthen resources, and coordinate between parties so that program implementation at the village level can be more effective and sustainable.

Development of Kandangwesi Religious Tourism Village in Bojong Village, Bungbulang District, Garut Regency: A Multi-Actor Collaborative Governance Perspective

2026-05-06T05:01:01+00:00

Bojong Village, located in Bungbulang District, Garut Regency, has religious tourism potential in the form of the Kandangwesi site, which holds strong historical, spiritual, and cultural value for the local community and pilgrims from various regions. This potential opens up opportunities for development as a religious tourism village that can encourage local economic growth and improve community welfare. However, the development process still faces several problems, including weak tourism management institutions, limited human resource quality, suboptimal coordination between stakeholders, and limited supporting facilities and infrastructure. These conditions demonstrate the importance of implementing collaborative governance involving various actors in village tourism management. This study aims to analyze the development of the Kandangwesi Religious Tourism Village through the perspective of multi-actor collaborative governance. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative research type. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies involving informants from the village government, the Garut Regency Tourism Office, tourism managers, religious leaders, the local community, and micro and small business actors. The results show that the development of religious tourism villages has involved various actors, but the collaboration patterns formed are still informal. The village government acts as a facilitator and policy director, tourism managers as technical implementers, religious leaders as guardians of spiritual values, local communities as primary supporters of tourism activities, and business actors as drivers of economic activity. Barriers to collaboration include budget constraints, low tourism human resource capacity, weak institutional coordination, and limited infrastructure. Meanwhile, development opportunities are supported by strong local religious and cultural values, high community support, and a relatively stable pilgrimage tourism market potential. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of multi-actor collaborative governance plays a strategic role in realizing the development of sustainable religious tourism villages, thus requiring strengthening collaborative institutions, increasing the capacity of actors, and clarifying the division of roles in the future management of Kandangwesi Religious Tourism.

Village Human Resources from the Perspective of Village Development Administration Case Study of Bojong Village, Bungbulang District, Garut Regency

2026-02-11T03:10:00+00:00

Village development in a decentralization setting requires capable village human resources (HR) to deliver accountable development administration, yet many villages face competency and participation gaps. This study analyzes the roles, challenges, and strengthening strategies for village HR in Bojong Village, Bungbulang District, Garut Regency, using development administration theory on managerial functions and government–community relations. A descriptive qualitative single-case design was employed, based on document analysis (RPJMDes and village research reports) and a literature review; themes were generated through thematic analysis. Results show that although officials actively implement programs, limited technical competence, information-technology mastery, institutional capacity, and facilitation skills weaken planning quality, oversight, and substantive community participation. The discussion positions HR strengthening as a core strategy across the village development cycle, operationalized through continuous training, governance digitalization, and institutional strengthening. Policy recommendations include dedicating village budgets for capacity building, providing mentoring, and scaling village information systems to enhance transparency and responsiveness.

Strategies to Improve Bamboo Craftsmen's Participation in Village Educational Tourism Development During the Pre-Launch Phase: A Case Study of Empowerment Policy in Mekarsari Village

2026-02-11T02:56:02+00:00

Village educational tourism is frequently framed through Community-Based Tourism (CBT), yet many initiatives stall in the pre-launch phase when local actors are unprepared. This study examines Awi Edu-tourism in Mekarsari Village, Garut Regency, to identify barriers to bamboo craftsmen’s participation and to formulate empowerment strategies. Guided by community participation theory, self-efficacy, and empowerment, the research used a qualitative case-study design with semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, followed by reflexive thematic analysis. Results show three interlinked constraints: limited understanding of edu-tourism beyond ‘produce-and-sell’ routines, low confidence to interact with visitors, and weak value awareness that craft knowledge can become an educational attraction. These conditions keep participation at an informational level rather than a substantive role in planning. Recommendations emphasise iterative concept workshops, scenario-based communication practice, and institutionalised artisan involvement in village forums with incentives. Findings contribute a pre-launch readiness map linking meaning, confidence, and institutional support to sustainable CBT.

Strategies to Improve Participation of Pelagio Arabica Coffee Farmers in Village Educational Tourism Development During the Launch Phase Case Study in Sukaalilah Village, Sukaresmi District

2026-02-11T02:16:18+00:00

Sukalilah Village (Sukaresmi District, Garut Regency) combines favorable highland agroclimate for Arabica coffee with growing prospects for agricultural educational tourism. Yet farmer participation in planning, implementation, and management remains limited, constraining product coherence and long-term viability. This article aims to formulate participation-enhancement strategies for the launch phase of coffee edutourism, drawing on community participation theory, farmer empowerment, and edutourism principles. Using a qualitative descriptive design, a literature review was conducted across peer-reviewed journals, textbooks, government reports, and policy documents, followed by thematic-analytic synthesis. The findings suggest that participation can be strengthened through capacity building (guiding, interpretation, service standards), institutional reinforcement of farmer groups, multi-stakeholder collaboration, diversified learning packages from farm to cup, digital tools for promotion and booking, and simple indicator-based monitoring and evaluation. These strategies are expected to improve farmer welfare, broaden village economic benefits, and consolidate Sukalilah’s identity as an inclusive and sustainable coffee learning destination in practice.

Village Government Strategy in Building Public Service Motivation: A Systematic Review of Philosophical Perspectives and Public Administration Theory

2026-02-11T03:16:31+00:00

Village governments play a strategic role as the frontline of public service delivery; however, numerous studies indicate that the quality of public services at the village level continues to face fundamental challenges, particularly concerning the motivation of public officials. This research endeavors to rigorously analyze the strategic approaches employed by village governments in promoting Public Service Motivation (PSM) through the lenses of philosophical inquiry and public administration theory. The investigation utilizes a systematic literature review methodology, scrutinizing pertinent academic works pertaining to PSM, village governance, the philosophy of public service, and theoretical frameworks in public administration. The data were examined through thematic and narrative synthesis methodologies to discern patterns, trends, and existing gaps in the scholarly literature. The outcomes indicate that PSM has yet to be established as a fundamental analytical construct in the realm of village governance research, but instead emerges implicitly within dialogues surrounding governance, principles of good governance, and institutional enhancement.. The literature predominantly emphasizes structural and procedural approaches, while the motivational dimension of village officials remains underexplored. Furthermore, this review finds that philosophical foundations of public service and local wisdom play a crucial role in shaping the service orientation of village officials, yet these dimensions have not been systematically integrated into the PSM framework. This research asserts that the promotion of Public Service Motivation (PSM) within rural governmental entities necessitates a comprehensive strategy that incorporates structural, theoretical, and philosophical aspects. This investigation advances the discipline of public administration by broadening the discussion on PSM to encompass the realm of village governance, in addition to establishing a conceptual framework for subsequent scholarly inquiry and policy formulation.

Strengthening Superior Tourist Village Governance Administration: Perspectives from Human Resources, Public Services, and Social Media

2026-02-11T03:04:09+00:00

Indonesia’s tourist villages are expanding, yet many “superior” villages struggle to translate growth into accountable and sustainable governance. This study synthesizes evidence on how human resources, public services, and social media strengthen village-level tourism administration. Drawing on sustainable tourism governance, collaborative governance, and smart tourism perspectives, we conducted a PRISMA 2020–guided systematic literature review of Scopus Q1 journals (2015–2026). From 80 screened records, 30 articles met eligibility and were analyzed through iterative thematic coding. Results indicate governance improves when (1) HR capacity building embeds sustainability and digital competencies, (2) public services are digitized to standardize processes, enhance transparency, and improve service quality, and (3) social media is managed as participatory feedback and branding infrastructure. Yet digital divides and resource constraints may erode gains unless policy instruments and cross-sector partnerships provide enabling support. We propose an integrated three-step governance model aligned with ESG, emphasizing social and governance dimensions for rural destinations.

Philosophical Analysis of Special Village Development Areas Based on Local Potential to Achieve Village Independence (Empirical Study in Bojong Village, Bungbulang)

2026-02-11T02:45:55+00:00

This study aims to analyze the implementation of economic development in Bojong Village, Bungbulang District, Garut Regency, by referring to the theory of Special Area Village Development, while also examining the philosophical basis of development and empowerment of rural economy in an effort to realize Independent Village. Bojong Village is an agrarian area that has abundant natural resources, including 350-350 Ha of rice fields, 1,200-1,200 Ha of forest area, seven waterfalls, and potential A (gold) mining of 8080 Ha. However, this village faces major problems in the form of high unemployment and social welfare issues, which are seen from the dominance of livelihoods as farm laborers (885-885 people) and the existence of 180-180 units of uninhabitable houses (RTLH). The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach by utilizing the 2025 Village Profile data as a source of analysis. The results of the philosophical-critical analysis indicate an imbalance in the distribution between the wealth of extractive resources (gold) and the low level of welfare of poor community groups (PMKS). The ongoing development is considered not to fully reflect the principles of Distributive Justice (Rawls, 1999) or the concept of Authentic Empowerment (Friedmann, 1992). Therefore, this study recommends the integration of Special Area programs that emphasize economic diversification towards more sustainable ecotourism and cultural sectors, and are reinforced by a transformative public administration philosophy to ensure substantive community autonomy in managing village assets.

The Effect of Training on Employee Performance in the Digital

2026-04-12T17:14:02+00:00

Massive digital transformation demands the readiness of Human Resources (HR) to possess high digital literacy and flexibility to balance technology integration in company operations. A competency gap (skill gap) frequently emerges between the skills employees currently possess and industry needs, making intervention through training programs a crucial strategy. This study aims to identify, review, and synthesize previous literature to determine the extent of the influence and effectiveness of training programs on improving employee performance in the digital era. The method used in this research is a literature review to synthesize recent academic findings. Based on the literature synthesis, training in the digital era is not only effective in improving technical mastery (hard skills) but is also proven to be crucial in building employees' psychological capacity (such as resilience and self-efficacy) to reduce work-related stress caused by rapid technological changes. In conclusion, targeted training programs are empirically capable of overcoming the shortening half-life of learned skills and are highly needed to boost employee productivity and operational work quality

2025-12-09T07:13:36+00:00

This study examines tourism management that integrates cultural heritage and natural resource based collaboration at Masjid Tuo Kayu Jao in Solok Regency, West Sumatra. As a historic Minangkabau heritage site, the mosque offers architectural value and natural scenery that attract visitors. Using a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and literature review, the research identifies management strategies that support sustainable tourism. Findings indicate that stakeholder collaboration is essential to balancing cultural preservation with environmental utilization. Management efforts include restoration that maintains historical integrity, the development of eco-friendly facilities, and the enhancement of community participation. This approach not only safeguards the site and its surroundings but also generates socio-economic benefits. The study contributes to the development of a collaborative tourism management model aligned with sustainability principles and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Influence of the Integration of Natural and Cultural Attractions on the Tourist Appeal of Istano Basa Pagaruyung

2025-12-09T09:23:41+00:00

As a major cultural tourism destination in West Sumatra, Istano Basa Pagaruyung has great potential because it combines natural beauty (green hilly landscapes, terraced rice fields, rivers, and Mount Marapi) with the beauty of Minangkabau culture (gonjong architecture, philosophical carvings, and local traditions). However, due to partial management, the natural attractions have not been fully utilized, potentially reducing tourist appeal and the site's sustainability. The purpose of this study is to examine how the integration of natural and cultural attractions affects the tourist appeal of Istano Basa Pagaruyung. Furthermore, this study also aims to develop a sustainable tourism management strategy based on community-based tourism (CBT) and eco-edutourism. A qualitative approach was used in the study, and data collection techniques were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with managers and local community members, and literature review. The research results show that tourist satisfaction can be improved, destination image can be strengthened, and environmental and cultural preservation can be supported by the synergy of nature and culture reflected in the landscape around the palace, the Pacu Jawi tradition, Alu Katentong, and the local wisdom story "Alam Takambang Jadi Guru." Istano Basa Pagaruyung must become an authentic and competitive sustainable tourism destination with more planned integration through the development of eco-trails, community-based homestays, and digital promotion.

Padangpanjang Art Market as A Cultural Attraction and Space for Public Creativity

2025-12-19T03:04:29+00:00

This study aims to analyze the role of the Padangpanjang Art Market as a cultural attraction and a platform for community creativity within the framework of developing culture-based tourism and the creative economy in Padangpanjang City. By shifting from conventional tourism paradigms to authentic experiences and the utilization of cultural heritage, the Padangpanjang Art Market has emerged as a local effort that combines art performances, culinary delights, and social interactions in an innovative public space. Using qualitative descriptive methods through literature review, in-depth interviews, field observations, and document collection, this study explores the dynamics of its organization, community participation, and the challenges encountered. Key findings indicate that the Padangpanjang Art Market boosts the local economy by increasing visits and trade activity at Padangpanjang Central Market. This weekly arts event serves as a platform for expression for artists, students, and creative groups, as well as a medium for preserving Minangkabau culture through performances of randai, traditional dance, saluang, and other arts. Participatory funding systems such as the "musician's box" demonstrate the initiative's independence, while content distribution by local content creators expands cultural promotion through digital channels. However, the study uncovered major constraints such as limited budget, manpower, and time allocation for the committee. In conclusion, Padangpanjang Art Market provides important support for strengthening cultural identity, empowering creative communities, and growing local tourism, but requires ongoing support to maintain its sustainability as an inclusive and energetic cultural space.

Legal Analysis of Enforcement of the Criminal Action of Defamation Through Social Media as Reviewed From the ITE Law and the KUHP

2026-01-22T14:10:18+00:00

The crime of defamation can be divided into two forms: conventional and verbal. Conventional methods are usually implemented through direct statements or written media. This study aims to answer questions related to the Legal Review of Perpetrators of Criminal Acts of Defamation Through Social Media. First, the criminal liability of perpetrators of criminal acts of defamation through social media is based on Decision Number 415/Pid.Sus/2020/PN Tar. This study uses two types of data: primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. Primary legal materials include basic norms, basic rules, laws and regulations, and official documents or records. Secondary legal materials are obtained from literature such as books, legal journals, research results, and various other scientific works. The results of the study indicate, first, that criminal liability for perpetrators of defamation through social media in Decision Number 415/Pid.Sus/2020/PN Tar results in a two-month prison sentence with a six-month probation period, based on evidence and testimony presented at trial. Second, in issuing the verdict, the judge considered the Public Prosecutor's indictment, assessing both aggravating and mitigating factors for the defendant.

Innovation in Learning the Art of Tanggai Dance from South Sumatra Using Video Media and Flashcards in Elementary Schools

2026-01-23T07:09:25+00:00

Education is responsible for integrating, nurturing, and fostering the development of students' talents and creative abilities. This study examines the role of teachers in fostering children's creativity. This study aims to determine how Flash Cards can foster children's creativity in dance lessons, specifically the Tanggai dance from South Sumatra, in elementary schools. The method used in this study was a literature review through a systematic approach to data analysis. The results of this study indicate that teachers make changes to the learning process using Flash Cards to foster children's dance creativity. Using Wallas' theory, through the stages of preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification, children can become active and creative individuals. Flash Cards represent a teacher's innovation in transforming the learning process. This medium can foster children's creativity and active expression through movement, enabling them to be more active and creative, moving from viewing images to dance movements. It is hoped that the results of this study can serve as reference material or development for further research.

Collaborative Governance in Environmental Impact Analysis of Margamulya Village Road Construction, Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency

2026-01-26T09:16:31+00:00

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) serves as a policy instrument to manage and mitigate environmental impacts arising from development activities. Beyond its technical dimension, the EIA process requires interaction and cooperation among multiple stakeholders within a collaborative governance framework. This study aims to examine the roles of government, private sector, and community actors in the implementation of collaborative governance in the EIA process in Margamulya Village, Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, field observations, and document review. The findings reveal that the government performs regulatory, supervisory, and facilitative roles in the EIA process, while the private sector is responsible for fulfilling environmental obligations in accordance with applicable regulations. Meanwhile, the community plays a strategic role as directly affected stakeholders and as a channel for public aspirations and social control. However, collaborative practices among actors have not been fully optimized due to limited access to information, low community participation capacity, and weak coordination among stakeholders. This study highlights the need to strengthen collaborative governance mechanisms to improve the quality of the EIA process and to support sustainable development.

Dynamics of Social Change in Sundane Society: Between Tradition and Modernity in Cireundeu Traditional Village, Cimahi

2026-01-27T02:36:03+00:00

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of social change within the Cireundeu Traditional Village community in Cimahi, a Sundanese community that maintains tradition amidst modernity. This village is known for its cassava-based food security system (rasi) and Sundanese Wiwitan traditional values, which are still practiced in social life. The research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design through non-participatory field observation, visual documentation, and literature review. The results show that modernization in the form of urbanization, digital technology, and cultural tourism activities does not erase tradition but rather encourages a process of selective adaptation and value negotiation. Core traditions such as rasi consumption and ritual practices are maintained, while non-essential aspects are adapted to contemporary needs. These findings indicate that social change in the Cireundeu Traditional Village is non-linear and represents a form of localized modernity, where cultural identity is reproduced through contextual adaptation mechanisms

From Recording to Reporting: Digital Accounting Practices in Msmes in Batam City

2026-02-02T02:11:36+00:00

This study explores how micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Batam City transform digital transaction recording into financial reporting. Drawing on TOE, UTAUT, and practice theory, digital accounting is treated as routines shaped by capability, role allocation, and external demands. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, limited observation, and document review, then analyzed thematically. Results indicate that digital tools are adopted mainly for pragmatic needs (sales and cash recap), while the process often stalls at input and summary stages. Data validation and periodic statement preparation are not embedded as stable routines, so reporting is typically incidental for loans, taxes, or partner requests. Hybrid practices (apps alongside manual notes) and uneven accounting literacy constrain the production of consistent income statements and balance sheets. The study maps key bottlenecks and realistic enabling conditions for moving from recording to reporting

Implementation of Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 28 of 2014 Regarding PP PKB in the Manpower and Transmigration Service of East Java Province

2025-12-18T06:58:47+00:00

The East Java Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans) in implementing Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 28 of 2014 strives to ensure that companies are required to create Company Regulations (PP), draft and ratify PP, and register Collective Labor Agreements (PKB). From January to September 2025, 107 companies had submitted their PP for ratification, while the registration of PKB continued according to procedure. This study aims to describe the efforts of the East Java Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office in implementing Permenaker No. 28 of 2014 and to identify obstacles that arise in the field. This study applies a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. In its analysis, this study is guided by the policy implementation model proposed by George C. Edward III, which includes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study show that communication is carried out through socialization, guidance, consultation, and the use of digital media. Employee resources and supporting facilities are considered sufficient to carry out the PP approval and PKB registration processes. Employee disposition shows a strong commitment to providing services and assistance to companies. The bureaucratic structure was clearly organized with workflows and SOPs that supported the smooth running of the process, although some companies still submitted incomplete documents, which required corrections and prolonged the verification process.

Implementation UMK Determination Based on Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 16 of 2024 at the Manpower and Transmigration Service of East Java Province

2025-12-18T06:58:47+00:00

Abstract

The determination of the Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMK) is an important step in protecting workers and maintaining business stability. The government has issued Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 16 of 2024 as the basis for calculating the 2025 UMK, taking into account economic growth, inflation, and certain indices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of this policy using George C. Edwards III's implementation theory, which covers aspects of communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study show that the policy communication process is already underway, but it is not yet evenly distributed, causing differences in understanding between regions. Human resources are quite competent, but budget constraints and the vastness of the region hinder socialization and supervision. The attitude of the implementers is supportive, but differences in interests between workers and employers affect the UMK determination process. The bureaucratic structure is functioning, but it does not fully follow the formula due to socio-political considerations. In general, the implementation of the 2025 UMK in East Java is not yet fully in accordance with Permenaker No. 16 of 2024, so integrated supervision, strengthening of human resources, and more optimal dissemination are needed.

Competency as A Basis for Human Resource Planning and Performance Optimization in Bumdes Cikalong

2026-02-03T07:59:26+00:00

The gap between ideal and actual employee competencies remains a barrier for BUMDes (Village-Owned Enterprises) in strengthening the governance and performance of village economic services. This study stems from the urgency of addressing the competency mismatch in Cikalong BUMDes to make the organization more adaptive, accountable, and innovative. The research aims to analyze the implementation of competency-based HR planning and its supporting and inhibiting factors in optimizing performance. The theoretical study combines Competency Theory (Spencer & Spencer), Strategic Human Resource Management (Wright & McMahan), and performance theory (Campbell). The method used is a qualitative case study with data collection through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Informants were selected purposively; analysis follows the interactive model of Miles and Huberman and triangulation. The findings indicate that competency mapping and appropriate role placement increase motivation, loyalty, and productivity, but are hampered by unclear competency standards, work culture resistance, and weak HR information systems. Consequently, competency-based planning needs to be positioned as a transformational, rather than administrative, strategy, consistently and sustainably.

Kecak Dance as A Medium of Cultural Diplomacy Between Indonesia and Japan 2024

2026-01-14T04:00:00+00:00

This study examines the role of the kecak dance as a tool of Indonesian cultural diplomacy in bilateral relations with Japan in 2024. The focus is on the kecak dance performance at the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum as a means of introducing Indonesian culture. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study found that the kecak dance functions as a cultural communication tool that builds a positive image of Indonesia in Japan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Embassy in Tokyo played an important role in supporting this initiative. Despite challenges such as limited budgets and differences in cultural perceptions, the opportunities that arise are considerable. In conclusion, the kecak dance has great potential in Indonesia's cultural diplomacy strategy in the future.

Baitul Jannah Islamic Boarding School Diplomacy in Increasing Economic Growth in Indonesia Through the Malaysia-to-Indonesia Crowdfunding Program

2026-01-14T03:53:14+00:00

Pesantren diplomacy is an increasingly important strategy in building international relations in the education and social sectors. This study aims to analyze the capabilities of Pondok Pesantren Baitul Jannah as a non-state actor in implementing partnership diplomacy and mobilizing sustainable support from donors in Malaysia, particularly through crowdfunding programs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to examine in depth the forms of diplomacy carried out. The main focus is to identify how Islamic boarding schools have succeeded in building relationships, obtaining financial and material support, as well as other resources. The results of the study show that the diplomacy of the Baitul Jannah Islamic boarding school is highly effective and adaptive. The success of this partnership is rooted in a strong social construction, based on the values of ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood) and mutual trust generated through regular communication. This strengthened trust effectively creates strong institutional branding and enables the pesantren to act as a sub-national brand. Additionally, crowdfunding is identified as functioning strategically as an economic diplomacy tool, supported by digital transparency in financial reporting. This strategy demonstrates the ability of non-state actors to mitigate structural constraints, contribute significantly to the development of Islamic education, and fulfill the objectives of Public Diplomacy in shaping positive perceptions among foreign communities

The Intersection of Human Rights and Bioethics in International Law (A Comparative Study of Genetic Technology Regulation in the Asean Region

2026-02-13T02:04:35+00:00

This study explores the relationship between Human Rights (HAM), bioethical principles, and the international legal framework in responding to the rapid development of genetic technology. The background of this study is based on the legal vacuum and ethical dilemmas related to genetic editing, cloning, and DNA manipulation that have the potential to violate human dignity and the right to genetic integrity. The main problem arises when scientific innovation exceeds the speed of legal regulation, thus triggering the risk of genetic discrimination and the commodification of life. The formulation of the problem in this study is: (1) How are bioethical principles integrated into international human rights instruments to regulate genetic technology? and (2) How do the legal policies of ASEAN countries compare in protecting their citizens from the misuse of genetic technology? The research method used is normative juridical using a conceptual approach to examine bioethical theory, a legislative approach to international instruments such as the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, and a comparative approach in the ASEAN region (particularly a comparison between Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand). The results of the study indicate that although international instruments have laid the foundation for protecting human dignity, implementation at the ASEAN regional level is still very fragmented. Singapore has highly permissive regulations for biomedical advancement, while other countries still rely on general ethical norms without a strong legal framework. In conclusion, harmonization of scientific progress and the protection of fundamental rights is necessary to prevent genetic technology from harming humanity. Suggestions include the establishment of legally binding ASEAN regional bioethics guidelines and the strengthening of domestic legislation that specifically prohibits genetic discrimination.

Human Rights and International Accountability of States in the Climate Crisis (Reconstruction of the Loss and Damage Principle Following the Latest Developments of the Cop)

2026-02-13T02:14:09+00:00

The global climate crisis has transformed from an environmental issue into a fundamental human rights issue, directly impacting the rights to life, health, food, water, and a good and healthy environment. These impacts are disproportionately felt by developing countries, including the ASEAN region, despite their relatively small historical contribution to global emissions. In this context, the strengthening of the principle of loss and damage following the latest developments at the Conference of the Parties (COP) marks an effort by the international community to affirm the dimension of state international responsibility for loss and damage caused by climate change. However, this principle still faces conceptual, normative, and implementative problems within the international legal regime. This study aims to analyze the climate crisis as a human rights issue and reconstruct the principle of loss and damage within the framework of state international responsibility, by reviewing the comparative national legal arrangements of ASEAN countries and international law. The research method used is normative juridical with conceptual, legislative, and comparative approaches, through an analysis of international legal instruments, the latest COP policies, and national regulations in the ASEAN region. The results show that the strengthening of loss and damage after the latest COP reflects a paradigm shift in climate law from a voluntary commitment-based approach to a human rights-oriented climate justice approach. However, the absence of binding legal instruments weakens state accountability mechanisms. This research emphasizes the philosophical novelty of integrating human rights as the legitimate basis for state international accountability in the climate crisis. This research recommends strengthening binding international legal norms and harmonizing ASEAN national policies based on climate justice and human rights.

Net Profit Margin (Npm) Analysis in Measuring SK Hynix Inc.'S Financial Performance Against Semiconductor Market Fluctuations 2020-2024

2026-02-16T01:38:31+00:00

Semiconductors underpin the digital economy, yet the memory market is highly cyclical, exposing chipmakers to sharp margin compression during oversupply and price corrections. This study examines SK hynix’s “extreme recovery” using Net Profit Margin (NPM) as the focal performance metric and interprets the recovery through cost-management theory, cost–volume–profit logic, and Activity-Based Costing (ABC). Adopting a quantitative descriptive design with a single-case study approach, the analysis relies on publicly available SK hynix financial statements from 2020–2024. Key variables include NPM (net income/revenue), revenue, and operating expenses; descriptive statistics, trend and percentage-change analysis, and Excel-based visualizations are complemented by triangulation with industry news. Results reveal a pronounced V-shape: NPM declined from 22.36% (2021) to 5.02% (2022) and −27.88% (2023), then rebounded to 29.9% (2024). The turnaround aligns with a higher-value product mix (AI HBM) and cost control, offering implications for investors and industrial policy.

Political Marketing-Based Political Communication Strategy in the 2024 Bandung City Election: A Case Study of Muhammad Farhan And Erwin's Winnings

2026-02-24T02:44:22+00:00

This study analyzes the political communication strategies implemented by the Muhammad Farhan and Erwin ticket in the 2024 Bandung City Regional Election using a political marketing perspective. In the context of modern electoral democracy, political communication is no longer understood solely as a campaign activity, but rather as a strategic process that is voter-centered and designed to respond to public needs and preferences. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, with data collection techniques through document analysis, literature review, and secondary data collection sourced from mass media, social media, electability survey results, and official publications of related institutions. The results show that the success of the Farhan-Erwin ticket is influenced by the implementation of an integrated political marketing strategy, including the use of social media as the main arena for political communication, the use of political branding through the slogan "Bandung Utama", and the involvement of community leaders as opinion leaders in expanding communication reach. This strategy reflects a shift from a candidate-centric campaign approach to a voter-oriented approach, especially the millennial generation and Generation Z. In addition, the research findings show that success in the media arena contributes significantly to increasing electability in the electoral arena. This study concludes that an effective political communication strategy in regional elections (Pilkada) is determined not only by campaign intensity, but also by the candidate's ability to integrate communication, political branding, stakeholder management, and voter orientation within an adaptive political marketing framework. These findings provide theoretical and empirical contributions to the development of political communication and political marketing studies in the context of regional head elections in Indonesia

History of Hadith Codification in the time of the Prophet, Sahabat, and Tabi’in in Maintaining the Authority of the Sunnah

2026-03-02T03:17:59+00:00

Hadith is the second primary source of Islamic teachings after the Qur’an, playing a crucial role in explaining and complementing its guidance. This study discusses the history of the codification of Hadith from the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the periods of the Companions and the Followers (Tabi’in). During the Prophet’s lifetime, Hadiths were not officially written down due to the concern that they might be mixed with the Qur’an, although some Companions, such as Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-‘Ash, possessed personal written records known as as-Sahifah. After the Prophet’s passing, the Companions exercised great caution in transmitting Hadiths to preserve their authenticity. In the era of the Tabi’in, the collection and documentation of Hadiths began to develop both through memorization and writing, spreading across various regions of the Islamic world. The official codification of Hadith was initiated during the caliphate of Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, who commissioned Ibn Shihab az-Zuhri to systematically compile Hadiths. This effort marked a significant milestone in the history of Hadith compilation, which continued during the generation of the Followers of the Followers (Tabi’ al-Tabi’in) with the emergence of major works such as al-Muwaththa’ by Imam Malik. This study emphasizes that the codification of Hadith was a gradual and systematic process aimed at preserving the authenticity and continuity of the Prophet’s teachings across generations.

Supervision and Accountability of Sakip Performance: Evidence from the Tasikmalaya City Government

2026-03-02T03:25:38+00:00

Public performance accountability has become a strategic requirement in modern governance, along with the increasing need for transparency and results-oriented governance. The Government Agency Performance Accountability System (SAKIP) was designed to ensure performance measurability, but its implementation at the regional level still faces substantial challenges. This study aims to analyze SAKIP performance oversight and accountability in the Tasikmalaya City Government using a strategic management approach. The theoretical study focuses on the concepts of public accountability, New Public Management, and strategic management. The research method employed a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach through documentation studies, in-depth interviews, and observations, with interactive data analysis. The results indicate that SAKIP oversight is supported by adequate regulations and evaluation mechanisms, but it still tends to be administrative and does not fully meet the stated objectives. The discussion emphasizes the need for strengthening human resource capacity, consistent follow-up on recommendations, and integrating performance information systems so that SAKIP can function as a strategic instrument for improving local government performance

Evaluation of Physical Properties and Shelf - Life Test of Herbal Deodorant Spray Preparation Based on Bidara Leaf Infusion (Ziziphus Mauritiana L.)

2026-02-12T02:53:49+00:00

Deodorant is a topical preparation used to help reduce body odor caused by bacterial activity on the skin, such as Staphylococcus epidermidis. Along with the increasing interest in natural-based products, bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) have the potential to be used as an active ingredient due to their antibacterial activity. This study aims to formulate a herbal deodorant spray containing bidara leaf infusion and to evaluate its physical characteristics and stability. Bidara leaf infusion will be prepared using the infusion (inundation) method and formulated into a deodorant spray in three different concentrations, namely 5%, 10%, and 15%. The formulated deodorant sprays will be evaluated through organoleptic test, pH, homogeneity, clarity, and spray volume. Quantitative data will be analyzed using One-Way ANOVA, while organoleptic data will be analyzed descriptively. Stability testing will be conducted at room temperature and analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA if the parametric requirements are fulfilled.

Employee Work Productivity in Managing the E-Letter System at the Secretariat of the Surabaya City DPMPSTP

2025-12-18T10:09:24+00:00

The digitalization of public administration has become a strategic necessity to enhance bureaucratic efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, particularly in managing official correspondence that is still largely handled through manual procedures and often constrains employee productivity. The urgency of this study lies in the limited empirical research that examines E-Correspondence systems not merely as technical tools but as determinants of work productivity in public organizations. This study aims to analyze employee work productivity in managing administrative correspondence through the implementation of the E-Correspondence system at the Secretariat of the Surabaya City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP). The study is grounded in e-government and work productivity perspectives within the public sector context. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with purposively selected civil servants directly involved in the use of the system. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that the E-Correspondence system significantly improves time efficiency, the quality of document outputs, timeliness, and coordination among employees, thereby strengthening individual and team performance. The study highlights the importance of continuous capacity building and system optimization to support productive and accountable public administration

Policy Implementation of the Online Single Submission (OSS) System in Enhancing Licensing Service Delivery at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office of East Java Province

2025-12-23T12:30:21+00:00

Online Single Submission (OSS) is a web-based business licensing system developed to simplify licensing procedures and improve the quality of public services in the investment sector. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the OSS policy at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of East Java Province. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, which were analyzed using data triangulation techniques. The findings indicate that the implementation of OSS in East Java Province has been relatively effective, particularly in improving the efficiency of licensing processes and supporting the increase in regional investment realization. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited human resources, technical readiness of the system, and business actors’ understanding of OSS mechanisms. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of government officials, optimizing information technology systems, and conducting continuous socialization are necessary to support the optimal implementation of OSS at the regional level.

Implementation of the E-Ktp Service Pick-Up Program for the Disabled and Elderly in Bangkalan Regency

2026-04-05T18:19:16+00:00

Population administration services are a basic human right that must be fulfilled fairly and inclusively by the state. However, the elderly and people with disabilities often face barriers in obtaining e-KTP services due to limited mobility and geographic distance. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Jemput Bola Program e-KTP services as an effort to improve population administration services for the elderly and people with disabilities in Bangkalan Regency. This program provides direct services to the homes of the elderly and people with disabilities without having to come to the Dispendukcapil office or sub-district office. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation, and their validity was tested through data triangulation. The research analysis uses George C. Edwards III's policy implementation theory which includes four main dimensions, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study show that of the four dimensions, some of them have not been implemented optimally, such as the dimensions of communication, resources, and bureaucratic structure. The researcher's recommendations for this program include increasing the socialization of the Jemput Bola program more evenly and inclusively, increasing the number of implementing officers, and implementing the results of the monthly evaluation in a concrete and sustainable manner.

Profil Burnout Profile of Final-Year Students at the Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Dakwah (STID) Sirnarasa in the 2025/2026 Academic Year

2026-01-02T01:55:23+00:00

University students are in a phase of their education with much more complex academic demands than those at previous levels. They are required to think critically, make independent decisions, and possess effective communication skills as part of their academic readiness for college (Ansari et al., 2022; Vosniadou, 2020; Sari et al., 2025). Burnout is a significant issue among final-year students. According to Maslach & Jackson, there are three aspects of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased academic performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the burnout profile of final-year students at the Sirnarasa Islamic Da'wah College (STID) in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study used a descriptive quantitative method, with 48 items on a Likert scale, and was conducted with 27 final-year students. The results showed that final-year students did not experience significant burnout. Therefore, the burnout profile of final year students at the Sirnarasa Islamic College (STID) in the 2025/2026 academic year is in the low category.

Effectiveness of Inactive Archives Management in the Cooperative, Small and Medium Enterprises and Trade Service of Surabaya City

2026-01-02T10:23:28+00:00

Managing inactive archives is a crucial element in government agency administration because it plays a role in maintaining document order, facilitating information access, and complying with applicable regulations. The Surabaya City Cooperatives, Small, Medium Enterprises, and Trade Office is responsible for managing inactive archives so that they can be used as reference sources, decision-making materials, and documentation of agency activities. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of inactive archives management, including archiving procedures, storage mechanisms, and the use of digital archives. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, including observation, interviews with relevant staff, and document analysis as data sources. The research findings indicate that inactive archives management at this agency is running quite well, particularly in terms of recording, organizing, and digitizing archives. However, several obstacles remain, such as limited facilities and a lack of staff understanding of archiving procedures. In conclusion, the effectiveness of inactive archives management can be improved through staff training, providing adequate archival facilities, and implementing a consistent digital system. These improvements are expected to support smooth administration, facilitate information access, and optimize the function of inactive archives within the agency.

Collaboration Between Government and Community in Overcoming Domestic Violence: A Theory Analysis of Collaboration with A Systemic Approach and Face to Face Dialogue

2026-01-08T02:27:44+00:00

This article examines the implementation of collaboration between the government and the community in addressing domestic violence (DV) in Indonesia through an integrated collaboration theory framework. By combining Ansell and Gash's collaborative governance theory, which emphasizes face-to-face dialogue, Parsons' structural functionalism theory, which examines social systems, and Pfeffer and Salancik's resource dependence theory, which analyzes resource dependency, this study analyzes the architecture, processes, and power dynamics in collaborative efforts to address domestic violence. Using a critical literature review method of policy documents, official reports, and recent scientific works, this study identifies that formal collaborations such as the Integrated Service Unit (UPT PPA) have not been able to create structural transformation due to systemic communication distortions and entrenched power asymmetries. The findings indicate that despite the formality of collaboration, the dialogue that occurs is still instrumental and has not reached a deliberative level capable of deconstructing patriarchal norms. The study's conclusion emphasizes that effective collaboration requires a systemic approach that integrates institutional reform, restructuring power relations, and the creation of a truly egalitarian dialogue space.

Between Perceived Delays in Fund Disbursement and SOP Compliance: Financial Verification Practices at the Secretariat of the Sidoarjo Regency DPRD

2026-04-12T09:04:02+00:00

Financial management within the DPRD secretariat places verification officers in a strategic and challenging position. They are required to maintain compliance with regulations and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as instruments of public accountability. On the other hand, they face operational pressure from the Council's Apparatus (AKD), which demands accelerated budget disbursement to support the implementation of institutional functions. This tension often gives rise to the perception that the finance unit is a performance impediment, even though actual work practices demonstrate a high level of prudence. This study aims to analyze the work dynamics of Document Verification Subdivision Staff in financial management at the Sidoarjo Regency DPRD Secretariat, with an emphasis on administrative discretion practices, structural limitations, and role expectations of the officers. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies, and analyzed thematically using the Street-Level Bureaucracy framework. The results indicate that administrative discretion among officers emerges as a rational response to regulatory ambiguity, time pressure, and demands for organizational efficiency. This study concludes that financial verification practices are a compromise between the normative design of policies and the actual capacity of the apparatus. Therefore, they need to be understood as a dynamic aspect of governance, not simply a matter of procedural compliance.

Effectiveness of Socialization and Consultation on Consumer Dispute Resolution By BPSK City of Bandung for Msmes of Kadin City Of Bandung

2026-04-12T09:20:41+00:00

The low level of public knowledge regarding the functions, roles, and procedures of the Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency (BPSK) often leads to suboptimal utilization of non-litigation dispute resolution channels; at this point, the need for educational interventions is quite urgent, especially for MSMEs that deal directly with the dynamics of consumer complaints on a daily basis. Departing from this context, this study is directed at assessing the effectiveness of the consumer dispute resolution socialization and consultation activities held by BPSK Bandung City on October 30, 2025, at the Bandung City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN). The theoretical framework combines the perspectives of public policy implementation, consumer protection literacy, and access to justice—a combination that, interestingly, allows the analysis not only to stop at "implemented activities" but also on their practical meaning for the ability of target actors to access available mechanisms. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design; data are collected through document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and limited observations, using Miles Huberman Saldaña's purposive sampling and interactive analysis techniques. The results indicate that the program proceeded in an orderly manner and fostered a more operational understanding of the complaint process, the BPSK's authority, and referrals for out-of-court dispute resolution. It is noteworthy that the multi-stakeholder format and consultation space strengthened the credibility of the message and built perceptions of justice at the initial access stage; however, evidence of long-term change still requires further testing. Therefore, the most plausible implication is the need for a more measurable impact evaluation to more robustly demonstrate program achievements.

Study of Interpretation and Diversity of Interpretation Languages in Indonesia: An Analysis of Latin, Jawi, Pegon, and Lontara Scripts

2026-04-12T09:39:28+00:00

Indonesian Qur’anic exegesis has developed within a highly plural linguistic landscape, making script choice (Latin, Jawi, Pegon, Lontara) a practical and intellectual issue rather than a mere technicality. This study aims to map the socio-intellectual bases of Indonesian mufassirs and to explain how those bases shape linguistic expression and interpretive orientation. Drawing on the notion of “basis mufassir” and the view of script as epistemic infrastructure for transmitting authority and accessibility, the research employs a qualitative, descriptive library approach. Primary data are selected tafsir texts and paratexts (prefaces, glosses, layout), supported by secondary scholarship on pesantren literacy and regional traditions; analysis uses comparative document and content analysis. Findings show patterned alignments: Latin supports academic-contextual exposition and wider public circulation; Jawi sustains Malay-Islamic scholarly networks; Pegon anchors pesantren pedagogy and localized moral discourse; Lontara embeds Qur’anic meaning within Bugis-Makassar cultural literacy. The plurality of scripts enriches reception while maintaining revelatory unity.

The Role of Local Government in the Development of Urban Tourism in Bali from the Perspective of New Public Service and Public Service

2026-01-19T09:06:11+00:00

The development of urban tourism in Bali represents a dynamic process of urban development that requires an active role of local governments in policy formulation and public service delivery. This study aims to analyze the role of local government in the development of urban tourism in Bali from the perspective of New Public Service and public service theory. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, focusing on Denpasar City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis of tourism-related policies and regulations. The data were analyzed thematically by linking empirical findings to the core principles of New Public Service, including public interest orientation, citizen participation, collaboration, and accountability. The findings indicate that local government has played a strategic role in planning and providing supporting facilities for urban tourism; however, the implementation of public services still faces challenges related to institutional capacity, fragmented authority, and limited public participation in decision-making processes. The study concludes that strengthening the New Public Service paradigm is essential to improve the quality of public services and to promote sustainable, inclusive, and equitable urban tourism development in Bali.

Urban Tourism in Bali From a Public Administration Perspective

2026-01-21T09:47:41+00:00

The development of urban tourism in Bali has become increasingly complex alongside the growth of tourism activities, rising pressure on public services, and mounting demands for social and environmental sustainability. This condition underscores the urgency of studies that view tourism not merely as an economic sector, but also as an arena of public administration and governance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between urban tourism and public administration practices, as well as to identify relevant policy implications within Bali’s urban context. The theoretical framework draws on the concepts of urban tourism, destination governance, and public administration, with particular attention to institutional capacity and cross-sectoral coordination. The research employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, drawing on academic books, scholarly journal articles, and policy documents. The findings indicate that the effective management of urban tourism is strongly influenced by local government institutional capacity, clarity of roles among stakeholders, and the integration of cross-sectoral policies. These results highlight the importance of strengthening public governance as a prerequisite for the sustainability of urban tourism.

Plastic Waste Management Due to Tourism Activities as an Efforts to Control Marine Pollution on Kuta Beach, Badung Regency

2026-01-23T12:07:26+00:00

Kuta Beach, one of Bali's most iconic coastal destinations, faces severe environmental challenges due to the rapid growth of tourism and inadequate waste management, often leading to a "plastic apocalypse" scenario, especially during the monsoon season. This study analyzes the relationship between high tourist influx and the accumulation of marine debris, which is heavily dominated by plastic waste generated from both tourism activities and seasonal ocean currents. The research highlights that the traditional "collect-haul-dispose" system is inefficient to handle the volume of waste, which significantly reduces the beach's aesthetic appeal and threatens marine ecosystems. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research evaluates the role of stakeholders, including government and local communities, in implementing cleaner, sustainable waste management strategies. The findings suggest that a comprehensive, circular economy approach, combined with stricter, eco-friendly infrastructure, is necessary to maintain Kuta Beach's sustainability as a top tourist destination.

Heritage Tourism in Bali: An Analysis of Sustainable Tourism Development Policies

2026-01-23T12:36:53+00:00

Heritage tourism is one of the main pillars of tourism development in Bali, oriented not only toward economic growth but also toward the preservation of cultural, social, and environmental values. This study aims to analyze the management of heritage tourism in Bali from a Public Administration perspective, focusing on the role of local government in policy formulation, inter-actor coordination, and public value creation. This research employs a qualitative approach through literature review and policy analysis. The theoretical framework is based on the concepts of Good Governance, New Public Service, Collaborative Governance, and Public Value. The findings indicate that the success of heritage tourism management in Bali is highly dependent on transparent, participatory, and accountable governance, as well as collaboration among government institutions, traditional communities, the private sector, and other stakeholders. The government’s role extends beyond regulation to include facilitation and mediation in balancing economic interests with cultural preservation. This study concludes that public value oriented heritage tourism management can support sustainable tourism development and strengthen Bali’s cultural identity.

Transformation of Urban Tourism in Bali Through the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy as a Model of Sustainable Development

2026-01-24T03:28:14+00:00

The transformation of urban tourism in Bali has intensified following the significant increase in tourist arrivals in the post-COVID-19 period. The rapid growth of urban tourism in Denpasar and Badung contributes substantially to the regional economy, yet it also generates considerable pressure on environmental carrying capacity, urban infrastructure, and the socio-cultural dynamics of local communities. This study aims to examine the transformation of urban tourism in Bali through the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana as a model for sustainable tourism development. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, field observations, and policy documentation analysis as primary data collection techniques. The findings reveal that the integration of Tri Hita Karana values into urban tourism governance remains partial. The palemahan dimension is reflected in environmental policies such as restrictions on single-use plastics, although it has not been holistically embedded in urban planning frameworks. The pawongan dimension highlights limited community participation in strategic decision-making processes, while the parahyangan dimension is mainly accommodated through the preservation of cultural rituals without formal integration into spatial and urban development policies. This study emphasizes the urgency of strengthening Tri Hita Karana-based governance to ensure that Bali’s urban tourism develops not only as a globally competitive destination but also as a culturally harmonious and environmentally sustainable model in the long term.

Keywords: Urban Tourism, Tri Hita Karana, Sustainable Development, Tourism Governance, Bali

Smart Tourism-based Urban Tourism Governance in Bali as a Form of Integration of Digital Innovation and Local Community Participation

2026-01-24T03:39:46+00:00

This study examines the governance of urban tourism based on smart tourism in Bali as an integration of digital innovation and local community participation. The development of urban tourism in Denpasar and the Sarbagita metropolitan area has increased destination complexity due to the significant growth of tourist arrivals during 2023–2025. This condition requires an adaptive, efficient, and sustainable governance model through the application of digital technology. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, using in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation analysis of tourism regulations and digital transformation policies. The findings reveal that smart tourism implementation in Bali has begun through the digitalization of destination information services and tourism promotion platforms in line with Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2018 on Electronic-Based Government Systems. However, smart tourism practices remain partial, characterized by private sector dominance in the digital tourism ecosystem and limited cross-agency data integration. Local community participation is still largely operational rather than strategic in smart destination policy planning, potentially leading to unequal distribution of digital tourism benefits. The study highlights that the success of smart tourism in Bali requires strengthening collaborative governance involving government, private stakeholders, traditional village institutions, and local communities to ensure that digital transformation aligns with Bali’s cultural tourism principles based on Tri Hita Karana. Inclusive and participatory smart tourism has the potential to support high-quality and sustainable urban tourism development in Bali.

Heritage Tourism in Bali: A Study of Public Administration in the Besakih Temple Area

2026-01-22T10:43:01+00:00

Heritage tourism is a strategic sector in Bali’s regional development; however, its management in sacred areas such as Pura Besakih presents complex governance challenges. The urgency of this study lies in the dual function of Pura Besakih as a religious center and a cultural tourism destination, which requires public policies that are sensitive to cultural and spiritual values. This study aims to analyze the governance of heritage tourism at Pura Besakih from a public administration perspective, focusing on the role of government, institutional coordination, and community participation. The research draws on theories of public policy, public governance, and sacred public space. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that heritage tourism management at Pura Besakih remains largely administrative, with fragmented institutional coordination and limited community involvement in decision-making processes. These results highlight the need for a more collaborative and sustainable governance model to preserve the sacredness and long-term sustainability of the site.

Keywords: Heritage Tourism, Public Governance, Pura Besakih.

Recontextualization of Heritage Tourism in Local Cultural Governance

2026-01-22T12:09:45+00:00

Bali’s tourism development has historically relied on cultural heritage as a fundamental pillar of destination development and a key driver of regional economic growth. However, the expansion of mass tourism has intensified cultural commodification, which poses significant risks to the sacred values, symbolic meanings, and social legitimacy of indigenous communities as the rightful custodians of cultural heritage. This article aims to analyze the development of heritage tourism in Bali from a Public Administration perspective, particularly within the framework of cultural governance and sustainable tourism policy. This study employs a qualitative approach through a systematic literature review of reputable national and international journals, as well as relevant public policy documents. The analysis is linked to public administration theories, particularly collaborative governance and sustainable public management, to examine the roles of state and non-state actors in cultural tourism governance. The findings indicate that heritage tourism can serve as a strategic public policy instrument for cultural sustainability when it is managed collaboratively, places indigenous communities at the center of decision-making processes, and is supported by regulations that are sensitive to local values such as Tri Hita Karana. Policy implications highlight the need to strengthen local government capacity as facilitator, regulator, and mediator in balancing economic, social, and cultural interests in an equitable manner.

Identification of key Variables for the Development of Heritage Tourism in Denpasar City based on Sustainable Culture and Environment: Micmac Analysis

2026-01-22T13:13:43+00:00

This study aims to identify key variables influencing the development of heritage tourism in Denpasar City based on sustainable cultural and environmental principles. Denpasar, as the cultural heart of Bali, faces challenges in balancing urban modernization and cultural preservation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach supported by the MICMAC (Matrice d’Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement) method, this study maps the relationships and dependencies among twelve strategic variables gathered from literature studies and expert judgments involving academics, cultural leaders, and local government representatives. The analysis shows that zoning regulations and heritage protection policies (REG_ZONING) and stakeholder participation (STAKE_GOV) are the main driving variables shaping the sustainability of Denpasar’s heritage tourism. Meanwhile, variables such as pedestrian infrastructure, public transport integration, and creative economy vitality act as linkage variables, connecting policy with community-level implementation. The results indicate that sustainable heritage tourism in Denpasar can be achieved through integrated spatial regulation, collaborative governance, and local cultural revitalization rooted in the Tri Hita Karana philosophy.

Preservation of Sacred Traditions in Heritage Tourism in Bali: Between Commercialization and Sacredness

2026-01-22T13:35:23+00:00

Heritage tourism in Bali is a strategic sector that not only underpins the regional economy but also plays a critical role in safeguarding the cultural identity of local communities. Bali is globally recognized for its rich tangible heritage, including temples, traditional architecture, and customary villages, as well as its intangible heritage, such as religious rituals, performing arts, and local craftsmanship. This study aims to analyze the governance dynamics of heritage tourism in Bali by highlighting the roles of local communities, government policies, and the pressures of globalization and cultural commodification. The research adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review and case study analysis of key destinations, including Besakih Temple, Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, Penglipuran Village, and traditional performances such as the Kecak and Barong dances. The findings indicate that heritage tourism generates significant economic value through job creation and the growth of the creative economy, while simultaneously strengthening Bali’s cultural diplomacy at the international level. However, challenges such as overtourism, unequal benefit distribution, and environmental degradation necessitate a more sustainable management framework. The strategies identified include strengthening community-based tourism, enforcing strict development regulations, educating tourists on Balinese cultural values, and leveraging digitalization for heritage promotion and preservation. By adopting a holistic, community-centered approach, heritage tourism in Bali can function as a scalable instrument for sustainable development while maintaining cultural authenticity.

Literature Review on the Development of Cultural Tourism in the Tirta Empul Area, Tampaksiring

2026-01-22T16:34:59+00:00

This study is based on the growing trend of spiritual and cultural tourism in Bali, which, at sacred sites such as Tirta Empul Temple (Tampaksiring), not only opens up local economic opportunities but also raises management dilemmas that deserve careful attention particularly regarding the tendency to commodify rituals and environmental pressures that have implications for water quality and the cleanliness of the area. This research aims to map the development of cultural tourism in Tirta Empul while critically synthesizing the main attractions, various impacts, and management strategies most frequently reported in the literature. Theoretically, the discussion links Tri Hita Karana, Community-Based Tourism, and heritage management perspectives authenticity to understand how sacred and tourist functions are negotiated in practice. The method used is a Narrative Literature Review of publications from 2015–2025 searched through Google Scholar, SINTA, and university repositories; studies were selected through title-abstract relevance screening and then analyzed thematically. Interestingly, the findings indicate that melukat (temple) and heritage values are the primary drivers of visitation, but issues of desacralization, overcrowding, and recurring waste/garbage remain unresolved challenges. Therefore, the synthesis recommends strengthening sacred space zoning, implementing a code of ethics supported by cultural interpretation, managing visitor flow, and strengthening the role of traditional villages, while emphasizing the importance of regularly measuring visitor carrying capacity.

Institutional Capacity Strengthening of the Tourism Village in Kawali Village, Kawali Subdistrict, Ciamis Regency

2026-05-04T04:46:50+00:00

Kawali Village in Kawali District, Ciamis Regency, has great potential as a tourism village based on history, culture, culinary, and the creative economy. The existence of the Astana Gede site as a legacy of the Sunda Galuh Kingdom, Kampung Nila, the Ki Bawong Cultural Studio, and creative economic activities in four hamlets are the main attractions of the tourism village. However, the management of this potential still faces various challenges, especially in the institutional aspects, human resources, and coordination between destination managers. This study aims to analyze the institutional conditions of Kawali Tourism Village and formulate strategies to strengthen institutional capacity to support integrated and sustainable tourism village management. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, coordination, and discussions with tourism managers, the village government, and the local community. The results show that tourism destination management is still partial, not yet integrated within a single tourism village management institution, and supported by limited human resource capacity and funding. This condition has an impact on less than optimal promotion, tourism services, and the development of integrated tourism packages. The discussion emphasized that institutional strengthening through the establishment of a tourism village management body, increasing human resource capacity, utilizing information technology, and strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration networks are key to the development of Kawali Tourism Village. In conclusion, strengthening institutional capacity is a crucial pillar in realizing an integrated, competitive, and sustainable Kawali Tourism Village. Therefore, a joint commitment between the village government, the community, and other stakeholders is required to support the optimal implementation of tourism village management.

Urban Tourism Governance in Bali: Integration of Waste Management and Cultural Preservation

2026-01-23T11:57:52+00:00

The rapid development of urban tourism in Bali has boosted economic growth, but has also triggered complex challenges such as waste issues and cultural heritage degradation. Waste management in Bali's urban tourism areas still faces structural challenges, ranging from limited infrastructure capacity, weak inter-agency coordination, to low participation by the community and tourism businesses. This study aims to analyze the role of public administration in managing urban tourism through soft tourism and slow tourism approaches as sustainable development strategies based on cultural preservation (heritage tourism). Using qualitative methods with literature review and policy analysis, this study examines regulations and collaborative practices between government, communities, and industry. The analysis is conducted within the theoretical framework of good governance, collaborative governance, and sustainable public management. The results indicate that strengthening collaborative-based governance improves waste management effectiveness and supports equitable tourism. From a good governance perspective, the principles of transparency, accountability, and public participation still need to be strengthened, particularly in waste management in urban tourism areas. Soft and slow tourism approaches have proven relevant as policy instruments for maintaining a balance between economic growth, environmental sustainability, and cultural heritage protection. This research recommends the importance of cross-sectoral policy integration and strengthening regional institutional capacity to achieve sustainable urban tourism governance.

Evaluation of the Free Nutritional Meal Program (MBG) Policy in Indonesia Based on William N. Dunn's Perspective

2026-05-04T15:59:20+00:00

The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program stands as a strategic policy breakthrough by the Indonesian Government, serving as a foundation for human resource development toward the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision. This study conducts a critical analysis of the MBG policy by adopting William N. Dunn’s evaluation framework, which encompasses six fundamental dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. Through a literature review approach, the research identifies a contradictory policy performance. Regarding effectiveness, while the program has proven successful in stimulating student attendance and classroom concentration, these achievements are overshadowed by systemic failures in food safety, which triggered 211 mass poisoning incidents across various provinces. From an efficiency perspective, the MBG funding structure is considered problematic as it relies on significant budget reallocations from primary education and health sectors. Furthermore, in terms of adequacy and appropriateness, the program design is deemed to have not yet addressed the root causes of stunting because interventions are only conducted at school age, thereby missing the critical momentum of the first 1,000 Days of Life (HPK). Disparities in the equity criterion are also evident in the regressive distribution of benefits and the fact that 89% of operational kitchens lack hygiene and sanitation certification. Meanwhile, bureaucratic responsiveness is observed to be largely reactive, taking action only after public health crises emerge in the field. This study concludes that the MBG program is currently trapped in administrative and logistical achievements, necessitating an urgent and comprehensive policy evaluation.

Taxes are a key source of revenue for both national and local governments, serving an important function in supporting development and enhancing public welfare. Motor vehicle tax is one of the potential contributors to local revenue; however, taxpayer compliance in Tasikmalaya Regency remains low, as reflected in the high number of vehicles that have not renewed their registration and the limited use of digital payment services.

Using a quantitative approach with two variables—employee competence (X) and management effectiveness (Y)—the study applies simple linear regression analysis. The findings show that employee competence significantly affects tax management effectiveness, contributing 86.6% with a regression coefficient of 1,094. The hypothesis testing yields a t-value of 10.486 and a significance level of 0.000, which is below the 0.005 threshold. These results highlight the essential role of employee competence in improving motor vehicle tax management. In conclusion, employee competence is identified as a key factor in enhancing the effectiveness of motor vehicle tax management in Tasikmalaya Regency.

Analysis of Vilanalysis of Mental Readiness for Early Marriage in Ciamis Regency

2026-04-30T13:24:32+00:00

This study aims to reduce the increasing rate of early marriage in Ciamis Regency. The research employs a qualitative method, conducting interviews at the Ciamis Religious Court with prospective brides and grooms applying for marriage dispensations.

These findings support the understanding that marriage is not merely about the solemnization of the ijab Kabul but necessitates comprehensive mental and financial readiness.

Contemporary Family Dynamics: Online Ta'aruf Applications, Family Interventions, and Couple Interaction Crisis

2026-05-03T10:05:25+00:00

This study examines the dynamics of intimate relationships among Generation Z across three stages: partner selection through online ta’aruf platforms, family negotiation in wedding planning, and post-marital interactions that may lead to household disorganization. The aim of this study is to understand how individuals make relational decisions based on rational considerations. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with purposively selected participants. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach grounded in Coleman’s Rational Choice Theory. The findings indicate that the use of online ta’aruf applications encourages more rational and structured partner selection while reducing physical commodification. In the wedding planning stage, there is a flexible negotiation process between individual autonomy and family expectations, resulting in mutually perceived fair compromises. Meanwhile, in the post-marital phase, low-quality interaction and lack of emotional presence, particularly in long-distance marriages, create vulnerability to infidelity, influenced by technological opportunities and weak social control. It is concluded that household disorganization emerges as an accumulative process rooted in interactional deficits. This study recommends strengthening relational communication and premarital preparation as preventive measures.

Keywords: Partner Selection, Family Negotiation, Marital Interaction, Infidelity, Household Disorganization.

2026-04-17T06:09:20+00:00

The month of Ramadan, a religious and cultural event in Indonesia, is closely linked to the tradition of buying new clothes to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. This tradition has evolved into a socio-economic phenomenon that drives increased public consumption and trade activity each year. This condition makes Tanah Abang Market one of the centers of economic activity, experiencing a significant surge in demand. The urgency of this research lies in the importance of understanding how traders are able to survive and compete amidst the high intensity of competition during the Ramadan period. Without the right strategy, traders risk losing competitiveness despite increasing market opportunities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the sales strategies used by traders to increase consumer purchasing power and sales volume. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data were collected from various literature sources, such as academic books, scientific journal articles, previous research, and official publications from relevant institutions such as the Central Bureau of Statistics.

2026-05-08T13:21:58+00:00

Fundamental problems, such as the lack of clear Standard Operating Procedures, often confuse the community in managing administration. Furthermore, the discipline of village officials remains low, evident in their lack of punctual attendance at the office even though residents have arrived since morning. This has led to dissatisfaction and criticism from the community. The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of Pallimae Village officials, Poleang District, Bombana Regency, in administering village governance. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques included examining the data, then classifying it based on the type or relevant needs, followed by verification, and finally drawing conclusions. The results showed that the performance of village officials was not fully optimal. In terms of quality indicators, the lack of written service standards resulted in inconsistent administrative processes and still contained errors. In terms of quantity, the high workload was not balanced with the limited number of human resources, resulting in service queues. The punctuality indicator was the weakest aspect due to inconsistencies in working hours and low discipline. Meanwhile, aspects of effectiveness, independence, and work commitment were deemed quite good, but were still hampered by limited infrastructure and incentives. Other major obstacles included a lack of public understanding of administrative requirements and slow disbursement of incentives for civil servants.

Furthermore, people's socioeconomic conditions are influenced by various factors, such as education level, access to capital, social environment, and government policies. Thus, comprehensive efforts are needed through inclusive policies and empowerment of people to improve the welfare of informal sector workers in a sustainable manner.

Implementation of Digitalized Economy in Developing E-Commerce-Based Ornamental Plant Cultivation Business on Madirsan Street in Bangun Sari Village, Tanjung Morawa District

2026-05-03T13:47:03+00:00

This study examines the limited application of the digital economy in developing e-commerce-based ornamental plant cultivation businesses in Bangun Sari Village, Tanjung Morawa District. The problem emerges from the fact that many ornamental plant traders along Jalan Madirsan still depend on conventional marketing, especially direct selling, while only a few have begun using social media platforms such as Facebook. Most traders are older community members who have limited digital literacy and have not fully utilized e-commerce to expand market access, strengthen promotion, and improve business competitiveness. In this context, the village government has an important role in encouraging digital transformation through training, assistance, and collaboration with local business actors. Bangun Sari Village has strong economic and environmental potential because ornamental plant cultivation is practiced by many residents, creating an attractive, beautiful, and cool village landscape. This potential can become a distinctive village asset if supported by broader digital promotion. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, with informants consisting of ornamental plant traders on Jalan Madirsan. Data were collected through literature study, observation, and interviews. The findings indicate that the implementation of digital economic practices in e-commerce-based ornamental plant business development remains suboptimal and requires stronger institutional support and guidance

Diesel oil and oil are used by fishermen to operate boats and fishing gear, which are basic needs for the continuity of their business. This service process generally involves several steps and administrative requirements that must be met. Here is an explanation of this permit service The diesel and oil purchase permit service aims to ensure that fishermen have proper access to fuel and lubricants at reasonable prices and according to their needs Related Parties The Badung Regency Fisheries Service, which is managed by the UPTD Kedonganan Fish Marketing Place, South Kuta District, is usually responsible for issuing permits or recommendations for fishermen who want to buy diesel at subsidized prices or certain prices. Fishermen's Registration Permit Application Process Flow: Fishermen must be registered in the system as legitimate fishermen, usually by showing proof of ownership or a fishery business license (SIUP). The central and regional governments have an important role in regulating and supervising the distribution of fuel to fishermen. Guidance for fishermen regarding the permit application procedure and an understanding of their rights and obligations is also carried out periodically. This aims to improve the efficiency of resource use and prevent misuse of the subsidy program Reasons for Choosing This Topic Some areas or fishing ports that are far from fuel distribution centers often experience supply shortages. This causes fuel shortages in the area, even though fishermen already have official permits and some fishermen feel that the fuel quota given does not match their operational needs, especially if the fishing season is not supportive. This makes fishermen lack fuel when they need to go to sea The research method used in this study is to use a qualitative method using a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation. The technique for determining informants used is by using a purposive sampling technique which obtains informants in the form of Heads of UPTD Fish Marketing Places, Fishermen, and other related parties The expected outcome is that improvements are needed in the bureaucratic system, increased fuel distribution to remote areas, and increased supervision to prevent misuse of fuel subsidies.

2026-05-03T14:37:56+00:00

The policy on restructuring non-civil servant personnel as regulated in Law Number 20 of 2023 on State Civil Apparatus (ASN) has significant implications for public sector human resource governance at the local level. A case study in South Tangerang reveals that approximately 1,800 honorary workers were laid off and faced income uncertainty due to the absence of legal budgeting frameworks, failure in PPPK selection, and administrative constraints. This situation potentially disrupts public service delivery, particularly in the health sector. This study aims to analyze the governance of non-permanent employee restructuring from a public administration perspective and its impact on public services. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study method, based on policy document analysis and empirical observation. The analytical framework draws upon Good Governance, New Public Service, and Public Value theories.
