Dinamika Fragmentasi Khalayak dalam Konsumsi Konten Budaya Lokal
This study aims to analyze the dynamics of audience fragmentation in the consumption of local cultural content on the TikTok platform, particularly through the @mas_ijals account, which actively promotes Javanese culture. The phenomenon of audience fragmentation, triggered by advances in digital technology, has shifted media consumption patterns from mass to more segmented due to algorithms and individual preferences. Amidst the current of globalization that threatens the preservation of local culture, understanding cultural content consumption patterns in digital media is crucial for developing effective cultural preservation strategies. This study uses a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm to understand the meanings constructed by creators and audiences through interactions with local cultural content. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with one content creator and twelve active audiences, as well as an analysis of five videos with high engagement levels from the @mas_ijals TikTok account. Data validity was maintained through source triangulation and member checking to ensure the accuracy of interpretation. The results of the study reveal three main themes: first, local aesthetics have a strong personal appeal, with content packaged visually and narratively able to build emotional bonds and cultural understanding in the audience; Second, the TikTok algorithm acts as a cultural curator that regulates content distribution, although this distribution does not always align with the creator's target audience, thus giving rise to the challenge of fragmentation; and third, the formation of digital communities as spaces of cultural identity, where audiences collectively construct and reconstruct cultural meaning through active interaction. This research shows that despite the challenges of fragmentation and algorithmic constraints, the TikTok platform has great potential to become an effective medium for the preservation and dissemination of local culture if creators are able to understand and adapt to distribution mechanisms and audience preferences.

Fraud Risk Mitigation through the Integration of Hindu Values
Fraud in community-based financial institutions like Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) is a serious threat to governance and financial integrity. This study examines how Hindu values are included in fraud risk management at LPD Kesiman. We used a qualitative descriptive approach and gathered data through interviews with managers, supervisors, and community leaders, supported by relevant documents. Following the COSO Fraud Risk Management Framework (2023), the findings show that integrating Tattwa (the belief in God as moral accountability), Susila (ethical conduct as internal control), and Upacara (rituals that promote collective honesty) greatly strengthens the fraud mitigation framework. The originality of this study lies in proposing a model that incorporates Hindu values into fraud risk management as a form of local wisdom, a topic that is rarely addressed in the literature. This shows that preventing fraud in community financial institutions requires both technical methods and the internalization of cultural and spiritual values.

Dukungan Sosial Terhadap Motivasi Anak Yatim Dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Hidup Di Panti Asuhan Mamiyai
This study investigates the forms of social support received by orphans at Mamiyai Orphanage and examines how such support influences their motivation to face life’s challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and triangulation to ensure validity. The findings indicate that social support from caregivers, peers, and the community plays a crucial role in enhancing the motivation of orphans. Emotional support expressed through affection and attention, alongside material assistance, provides a sense of security and fosters mental resilience. Furthermore, warm interactions within the orphanage environment and with the surrounding community strengthen their capacity to adapt to various pressures. Despite existing challenges that may hinder optimal support, the study highlights the importance of continuous collaboration between orphanages, society, and relevant stakeholders. Strengthened social support is essential not only for motivating orphans but also for promoting their overall psychological development and preparing them for a better future.

Interactional Communication Between Teacher and Students to Improve the Quality of Learning At the Mutiara Hati Magelang Special School
This research is motivated by the importance of interactional communication in building effective relationships between teachers and students in Special Needs Schools (SLB), particularly at Mutiara Hati Special Needs School in Magelang. Unresponsive and one-way communication often becomes an obstacle in creating optimal learning quality for students with special needs, especially students who experience verbal barriers and social development disorders. In this context, this research aims to identify teacher interactional communication practices that can encourage increased student participation and motivation in learning. This research uses the interactional communication theory of Schramm and Budianto, which includes five leading indicators: response, openness, trust, empathy, and support. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The primary informants consisted of three teachers at Mutiara Hati Special Needs School who had direct experience interacting with students with special needs. The study results indicate that interactional communication practices that prioritize empathy and openness, as well as adaptive verbal and nonverbal responses to the unique needs of each student, contribute significantly to increasing learning motivation, self-confidence, and learning quality. Teachers who demonstrate emotional understanding and use non-verbal approaches such as gentle facial expressions and light touch have been shown to create a more supportive and inclusive classroom climate. Effective interactional communication is a tool for conveying messages and a medium for building deep psychological connections between teachers and students. This study also recommends interactive communication training for special needs teachers as a sustainable strategy to improve the quality of inclusive education in Indonesia.

Students' Perception of Translanguaging Practices in The Department of English Education, Mulawarman University
This study explores translanguaging practices in the Department of English Education at Mulawarman University, focusing on how lecturers implement these strategies and how students perceive their impact on learning. The background of this research arises from the challenges faced by students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where limited exposure to English often hampers comprehension and reduces classroom participation. The objective of the study is twofold: to identify the forms of translanguaging employed by lecturers and to examine students’ perceptions, engagement, and responses toward these practices. This research applied a qualitative case study design, collecting data through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with selected students, followed by thematic analysis supported by triangulation of data sources and methods. The findings demonstrate that lecturers commonly applied code-switching, bilingual clarification, and double questioning techniques to simplify abstract concepts and encourage classroom interaction. Students reported that translanguaging significantly reduced language anxiety, boosted confidence, and facilitated more active participation. Moreover, it improved comprehension by allowing learners to connect complex academic content in English with their first language. These findings highlight translanguaging not merely as spontaneous language switching but as a deliberate pedagogical strategy that scaffolds learning, fosters inclusivity, and validates students’ multilingual identities. Nevertheless, challenges were also noted, such as the risk of overreliance on the first language, which may reduce immersion for advanced learners, and the necessity for structured implementation to maintain discourse coherence. In conclusion, translanguaging has proven to be an effective instructional approach in multilingual EFL classrooms. It supports deeper understanding, enhances student engagement, and nurtures identity affirmation. However, proportional and systematic application is essential to maximize its benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks.

Analisis Persepsi Orang Muda Jakarta mengenai Cancel Culture
Cancel culture has become an increasingly prominent phenomenon in the dynamics of social media. Although widely discussed, quantitative studies on how Indonesian youth perceive this issue remain limited. This study aims to describe how young people in Jakarta interpret cancel culture by examining the factors of gender, age, and duration of social media use. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach through an online survey. The instrument was a questionnaire adapted from Autencio et al. (2020), covering three dimensions: the nature of cancel culture, personal experience, and its social impact. Data were collected from 85 respondents aged 17–39 years (α = 0.786). The results indicate significant variations in perception. Female respondents were more familiar with cancel culture and tended to be more cautious in expressing themselves, whereas male respondents were more consistent in supporting public figures despite controversies. Participants aged 22–39 years demonstrated reflective and critical understanding, while those aged 17–21 years were more reactive but less in-depth in evaluating social issues. The duration of social media use also influenced perceptions: low-intensity users showed critical attitudes, moderate users expressed balanced views, and high-intensity users were more familiar but prone to self-censorship. In conclusion, cancel culture is understood in diverse ways by young people in Jakarta, shaped by identity, digital experiences, and levels of critical literacy. Academically, this study contributes to enriching quantitative research on cancel culture in Indonesia. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of digital literacy programs to foster a healthy and inclusive digital environment.

Analisis Beban Kerja sebagai Instrumen Penataan SDM
Workload disparities in police organizations threaten the effectiveness of internal oversight functions. The Regional Inspectorate (Itwasda) of Gorontalo Regional Police faces an imbalanced distribution of workload across sections reaching 35%, with indications of overload in some personnel and underutilization in others. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Workload Analysis (WLA) implementation as a human resource management instrument at Itwasda Gorontalo Regional Police, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate strategic recommendations for optimizing human resource management. The research methodology employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, with data validity ensured through source and method triangulation as well as member checks. Research findings reveal significant workload disparities: Itbid Section (138% - overload), Dumasan Section (142% - overload), and Renmin Section (76% - underutilized). WLA implementation successfully reduced disparities from 66% to 23% following task redistribution, with a 35% increase in organizational efficiency and 20% improvement in personnel job satisfaction. Supporting factors include leadership commitment, data availability, and quality human resource capacity. Main constraints are limitations in integrated information systems, personnel resistance to change, and limited technical understanding of WLA methodology. The study concludes that WLA implementation effectively addresses workload disparities and enhances organizational performance through proportional task redistribution. Strategic recommendations include strengthening leadership commitment, continuous training, digital information system development, effective change management, and replicating best practice models to other police units to achieve professional and accountable human resource governance.

Dampak Penerapan Kebijakan Dosen Pada Program Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Universitas Negeri Gorontalo
This study aims to analyze the implementation of institutional policies in research and community service programs at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo and their impact on faculty participation and institutional development. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis during the 2020-2024 period. Findings reveal significant dynamics in faculty participation. The DRTPM/DIKTI research scheme experienced a surge from 15 activities (2020) to 59 activities (2024), reflecting positive adaptation to national policies. However, there is high dependency on the PNBP scheme which dominates 80.4% of research activities (1,448 out of 1,801 total) and 74.1% of community service activities (1,125 out of 1,519 total) over five years. Top-down policies proved to generate resistance and decreased faculty motivation, particularly among junior faculty and those with lower functional positions. Conversely, faculties with internal support systems such as proposal clinics successfully increased participation significantly. Output quality varies greatly among faculties, with faculties having review and mentoring systems producing better publications in accredited journals and international proceedings. The research conclusion confirms that successful program implementation is determined by participatory policy design, adequate administrative support, and collaborative academic culture. Strategic implications include the need for reformulation of evaluation systems based on output quality and sustainable institutional transformation to strengthen the institution's position in national higher education.

Efektivitas Pelayanan Publik Pada Kegiatan PTSL di Kabupaten Pohuwato
This study analyzes the effectiveness of public service in the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program in Pohuwato Regency. The background highlights the need to evaluate service quality to ensure public satisfaction and smooth program implementation. The study employs a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design, including SERVQUAL questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and participatory observation. Findings reveal that the service effectiveness of PTSL is fairly good, yet all SERVQUAL dimensions show negative gaps between public expectations and perceptions. The largest gap is found in the tangible dimension (-0.94), while the smallest is in assurance (-0.56). Institutional factors are the most dominant in influencing service effectiveness (β=0.724), followed by human resources (β=0.689), technological infrastructure (β=0.567), and public participation (β=0.445). The main recommendations call for a holistic improvement approach emphasizing institutional strengthening, capacity building for human resources, upgrading physical facilities and technological infrastructure, and increasing public participation, including special programs for vulnerable groups. This study offers practical contributions by presenting a model to enhance public service effectiveness based on community participation and theoretical contributions by enriching the understanding of key factors influencing public service effectiveness in the context of the PTSL program.

Peran Profesionalitas ASN dalam Peningkatan Kualitas Pelayanan Publik Kantor Pertanahan Kota Gorontalo
This research aims to analyze the impact of civil servant (ASN) professionalism on public service quality at the Gorontalo City Land Office. The background is rooted in the strategic role of ASN in ensuring legal certainty of land ownership and efforts to enhance accountable, responsive public services. A quantitative survey method using stratified random sampling was applied to all civil servants, supported by multiple linear regression analysis to examine the contributions of professionalism dimensions—competence, integrity, ethics, innovation, and responsibility—to service quality. The results show ASN professionalism is generally good, with competence and integrity as dominant factors, while innovation remains low. Regression analysis reveals ASN professionalism contributes 48% to the variation in public service quality, with the remaining influenced by additional factors such as regulations, infrastructure, and technology. The practical implication is the necessity to strengthen technical capacity, promote service ethics, and develop digital innovation, ensuring effective bureaucratic reform in the land sector. The study recommends strategies to improve ASN development and process transparency to foster greater community trust and satisfaction.

Implementsi Kode Etik Profesi Polri di Polresta Gorontalo Kota
This study examines the implementation of the Police Professional Code of Ethics at Gorontalo City Police Resort (Polresta Gorontalo Kota) as a framework for strengthening integrity, accountability, and professionalism within the Indonesian National Police. Although the Code of Ethics has been formally institutionalized as a guiding principle for behavior, its implementation remains challenged by discrepancies between written norms and field practices. Several critical issues were identified, including the suboptimal internalization of ethical values, limited supervisory capacity of the Professional and Security Division (Propam) due to workload constraints, and inconsistencies in the imposition of sanctions for similar violations. On the other hand, leadership commitment to professionalism, an organizational culture oriented toward integrity, and the adoption of digital-based public service innovations were found to be supporting factors in advancing ethical enforcement. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, documentation, and observation, with analysis conducted using thematic categorization supported by relevant theories of professional ethics and organizational behavior. The findings confirm that the success of code of ethics implementation is largely determined by the clarity of regulations, the capacity of implementing personnel, the consistency of sanction enforcement, and community involvement in oversight processes. The results support the hypothesis that consistent and effective implementation of the professional code of ethics significantly enhances both the professionalism of police officers and public trust. This study contributes to the broader discourse on professional ethics in policing and highlights the importance of integrating regulatory, organizational, and social dimensions in sustaining ethical conduct within law enforcement institutions.

Media Sosial sebagai Ruang Digital Activism Generasi Muda Dalam Memperjuangkan Isu Lingkungan
Environmental issues are among the most pressing challenges in Indonesia, ranging from waste management and air and water pollution to deforestation. However, studies that specifically examine how young people articulate environmental concerns through social media and how this influences their political preferences remain limited. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the role of social media as a space for digital activism among youth. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with participants drawn from young voters aged 17–30 years who actively use Instagram and Twitter/X, and who have previously engaged in discussions about environmental issues on social media. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings indicate that Instagram plays a greater role in fostering emotional awareness through visual content, while Twitter/X is more often utilized for critical discussions and political mobilization. Together, these platforms form a digital public sphere that enables young people not only to increase their environmental awareness but also to articulate it as part of their political considerations. These findings highlight that digital activism on environmental issues can serve as a strategic factor in shaping the political preferences of young people in Indonesia.

Efektifitas Penerapan Asas Kontradiktur Delimitasi pada Layanan Pertanahan di Kantor Pertanahan Kota Gorontalo
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the contradictory delimitation principle in enhancing legal certainty and the quality of land administration public services at the Gorontalo City Land Office. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the implementation of the contradictory delimitation principle is relatively effective in promoting transparency, accountability, and boundary certainty, though its application remains suboptimal. Supporting factors include clear regulations, the commitment of civil servants, and community participation through the PTSL program. In contrast, inhibiting factors involve limited human resources, low public participation, and technical measurement challenges. The principle’s implementation has led to an 18% decrease in land disputes over the past two years and improved public trust in land services. These findings indicate that the contradictory delimitation principle serves not only as an administrative mechanism but also as a participatory and preventive instrument in achieving transparent, equitable, and sustainable land governance.

Collaborative Governance Dalam Pengelolaan Hutan Mangrove
This study discusses the implementation of collaborative governance in mangrove forest management in Hutan Panjang Village, Rupat District, Bengkalis Regency. The Akit Indigenous People are positioned as key actors alongside the Village Government and the Forest Management Unit (KPH). The Akit community possesses local wisdom in preserving mangrove forests through traditional practices such as replanting mangrove trees after harvesting. This wisdom reflects a balance between economic utilization and environmental conservation. However, the sustainability of mangrove forests faces several challenges, including environmental degradation, climate change, and government policies that often conflict with customary norms and indigenous land rights. The purpose of this research is to analyze conservation practices, patterns of collaboration among actors, and forms of community adaptation to policy changes and environmental conditions. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and documentation. Informants were selected purposively, consisting of village officials, KPH representatives, and members of the Akit Indigenous People, totaling 15 participants. The findings reveal a trust gap between the community and the government due to formal regulations such as the 2018 Regional Regulation perceived as misaligned with customary practices and local livelihoods. Consequently, community participation in government programs remains low because of concerns about restricted access to natural resources. In the collaboration process, the Village Government acts as a facilitator, the KPH functions as a technical manager through rehabilitation and training programs, while the Akit community maintains ecosystem sustainability through local wisdom. This study concludes that the sustainability of mangrove management depends on the alignment of government policies with local wisdom, strengthened communication among actors, and the provision of alternative livelihoods based on community participation. The study contributes to the development of collaborative governance theory and natural resource management grounded in the local knowledge of coastal indigenous communities.

Transformasi Hidup Perempuan Samaria Dalam Yoh 4:1-42 Sebagai Inspirasi Transformasi Sosial Perempuan Manggarai
The background to this research is the condition of Manggarai women in NTT who still face structural limitations due to patriarchal culture. The customary practice of belis or dowry often perpetuates subordination, treats women as objects of transaction, and confines their roles to the domestic sphere, thereby limiting their participation in the public sphere. On the other hand, the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4:1-42 offers a radically transformative narrative of liberation from multiple layers of discrimination. This study aims to bridge this gap by analysing how the story of the Samaritan woman's transformation can be adopted as an inspiring theological paradigm for the social transformation of Manggarai women. The method used is descriptive qualitative through literature study. The analysis was conducted in two stages; first, a biblical theological hermeneutical analysis of the text of John 4:1-42 to reveal the meaning of transformation and second, a socio-cultural analysis of the position of Manggarai women. The results of the study show that the transformation of the Samaritan woman was twofold. She underwent a personal transformation, or what is known as restoration of dignity, from social and moral alienation, which directly led to a communal transformation, or the courage to become a prophetic witness in the public sphere. This turning point is symbolised by her action of leaving her water jar, which marks a shift from a domestic focus to a public role. This transformation serves as a powerful counter-narrative to patriarchal structures and practices that diminish the value of women. This study concludes that this biblical narrative has significant contextual potential as a theology of gender liberation. The courage of the Samaritan woman who spoke up can ultimately inspire Manggarai women to move from being objects to empowered subjects, and to take on strategic roles in creating a more just and equitable social order.

Peran Kesadaran Diri dan Keterlibatan Apel Pagi dalam Meningkatkan Disiplin Kerja ASN
This study aims to analyze the influence of self-awareness and involvement in the morning apple on the work discipline of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) at the Jombang Regency Education and Culture Office. Work discipline is a fundamental aspect in the performance of ASN because it reflects responsibility, integrity, and professionalism in carrying out public service duties. Self-awareness is an internal factor that encourages individuals to understand the value, role, and consequences of each action in the work environment. Meanwhile, involvement in the morning apple is a form of collective activity that fosters a sense of togetherness, shared responsibility, and compliance with organizational rules. This study uses a quantitative approach with a total of 104 ASN respondents selected through the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale, then analyzed using multiple linear regression through the SPSS program to determine the partial and simultaneous influence between variables. The results showed that self-awareness had a positive and significant effect on ASN's work discipline (β = 1.009; t = 2.704; sig. = 0.018). Similarly, involvement in morning apples had a positive and significant effect on ASN's work discipline (β = 0.959; t = 2.402; sig. = 0.008). Simultaneously, the two variables had a significant influence on work discipline (F = 22.112; sig. = 0.000) with a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.291, which means that 29.1% variation in ASN work discipline can be explained by these two variables.These findings confirm that the formation of self-awareness and increased participation in the morning apple is an effective strategy in strengthening the culture of ASN work discipline. Therefore, public organizations need to integrate mental coaching activities and collective discipline on an ongoing basis to create civil servants with integrity, productivity, and oriented towards quality public services.

Literasi Digital Sebagai Fondasi Pendidikan Politik Generasi Muda Era Digital
This study examines the role of digital literacy as a fundamental element in strengthening political education for the younger generation in the digital age. Using a qualitative descriptive method through literature study, this study identifies and analyzes various literature related to digital literacy and political education. The results show that conventional political education is still limited by space and time, while digital-based political education provides broader and more flexible access. Digital literacy is a determining factor in the effectiveness of digital political education because it equips the younger generation with critical thinking skills, the ability to counter disinformation, and the ability to participate responsibly in democratic life. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of a conceptual model that links digital literacy with political participation. Practically, the results of this study provide recommendations for policymakers and educators in integrating digital literacy into the civic and political education curriculum.

Pengaruh Penggunaan TikTok terhadap Self-Esteem dengan Social Comparison sebagai Variabel Mediasi pada Generasi Z di Kota Denpasar
TikTok has become the dominant social media platform among Generation Z in Denpasar City. Its use has the potential to influence self-esteem through social comparison. This study examines the effect of TikTok use on self-esteem with social comparison as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative descriptive approach with SEM-PLS analysis on 383 TikTok users aged 18–24 years in Denpasar City. The study findings indicate that TikTok use has a significant positive effect on self-esteem (β = 0.632) and on social comparison (β = 0.421). Social comparison also has a significant negative effect on self-esteem (β = −0.089) and partially mediates the relationship between TikTok use and self-esteem (β = −0.038). These findings support Social Comparison Theory, which states that social media engagement can strengthen self-identity but also lead to upward comparisons that suppress self-confidence. Practically, the results of this study can provide important input for educational institutions and parents to emphasize the need for developing digital literacy and implementing empathetic communication strategies. With this approach, social media like TikTok can be used as a healthy and constructive space for self-expression for Generation Z.

Implementasi Uji Emisi Kendaraan Bermotor di Daerah Khusus Jakarta Dalam Pemenuhan Hak Masyarakat Untuk Hidup Sehat
Air pollution in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (DKJ) has reached an alarming level, significantly affecting public health. One of the main sources of air pollutants comes from motor vehicle emissions. The Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented an emission test policy to control air pollution and guarantee the citizens’ right to a healthy life, as mandated by Article 28H (1) of the 1945 Constitution. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the motor vehicle emission test policy in DKJ using Merilee S. Grindle’s policy implementation theory and T.H. Marshall’s concept of citizenship rights. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using secondary data from regulations, government reports, and academic publications. The results show that the implementation of the emission test policy has not been fully effective due to structural constraints, low public awareness, weak law enforcement, and limited testing infrastructure. From a citizenship rights perspective, Jakarta residents have not yet fully enjoyed their right to a healthy environment due to weak policy governance. Policy optimization can be achieved through institutional capacity building, multi-stakeholder collaboration, green transportation integration, and continuous public education.

Analisis Resepsi Audiens Gen Z Terhadap Peran Domestik di Serial Bridgerton
This study examines female Gen Z audiences' reception in Indonesia of women's domestic roles in Bridgerton, highlighting gender inequalities like marriage pressure and gender discrimination, relevant to patriarchal culture in Indonesia today. The aim is to explore Gen Z's perceptions of roles as wife, mother, and daughter, using Stuart Hall's reception theory, with a focus on the rarely discussed role of daughter. Using descriptive qualitative methods, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten informants aged 21-27 in Jabodetabek, selected for demographic variations. Results show interpretations through preferred reading (full acceptance), negotiated reading (equality negotiation), and oppositional reading (stereotype rejection). Key findings include criticism of marital financial transparency, positive views of mothers as advisors, and negotiation of eldest daughters' role model duties. The novelty lies in demonstrating how active audiences reinterpret media messages influenced by personal experiences, expanding Gen Z studies on gender shifts in Indonesia’s patriarchy, and emphasizing the role of daughters. Practically, it urges the media to create inclusive content, challenging stereotypes, and promoting equality.

Political Will Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Bogor Dalam Memberantas Budaya Pungli Uji KIR
The phenomenon of illegal levies (pungli) remains a persistent issue in Indonesia’s public service delivery, including in the vehicle roadworthiness testing process (Uji KIR). Despite more than two decades of bureaucratic reform, such practices continue to occur and are often perceived as “unofficial fees” to expedite services. This study aims to analyze the political will of the Bogor Regency Government in eradicating the culture of pungli within the Uji KIR process through three main dimensions: political commitment, policy choices, and institutional actions. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing primary data collected through in-depth interviews with the Regional Secretary of Bogor Regency, the Head of the Motor Vehicle Testing Division at the Department of Transportation, and a public policy analyst. Secondary data were obtained from regulations, official government reports, and academic literature. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), which includes data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the local government’s political will remains suboptimal. Political commitment is still normative, digitalization of services has not effectively closed bureaucratic loopholes, and internal supervision remains weak. The study concludes that eradicating pungli requires sustained political will through policy transparency, institutional reform, and enhanced public participation in oversight.

This study aims to explore the concepts of anti-corruption ethics and political integrity from the perspectives of moral philosophy and religious ethics, highlighting how moral principles can be integrated into political structures. Using a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review, this study identified and analyzed literature related to political ethics and moral-religious writings. The study's findings suggest that political integrity based on anti-corruption moral and spiritual principles is crucial for ethical and just governance. Integrity in politics relies heavily on honesty, responsibility, and moral accountability.

Pengaruh Kesadaran Halal Dan Harga Produk Terhadap Permintaan Ramen di Kota Medan
Halal awareness is the level of awareness of a muslim to use products that are eaten, drunk, or used based on the principles taught by Islam. In Islam, halal refers to all products that are considered halal through various aspects, from production, until the product is delivered to the consumer. The demand for a product is inseparable from price, which is a factor that attracts consumer attention because it is a consideration for consumers in making purchases. Halal awareness also has a positive impact on product purchases. This study aims to analyze the influence of halal awareness and price on the demand for ramen in Medan City. This study is a quantitative descriptive study, involving 100 respondents from Medan City as the research sample. This study aims to map the problem model objectively and provide a systematic and accurate description. The goal is to analyze and reveal facts from a specific object by distributing questionnaires to research respondents, which are then analyzed using a Likert scale using software called SPSS. The results of the study indicate that there is a positive and significant influence of halal awareness on the demand for ramen. This has led to an increasing understanding of the Muslim community regarding the concept and principles of halal before making a purchase of the desired product. On the other hand, there is also a positive and significant effect between price and demand for ramen. This occurs because price factors, including affordability and the appropriateness of price and benefits, are important considerations for consumers when making a purchase. Overall, halal awareness and price have a positive and significant effect on ramen demand in Medan.

Strategi Komisi Pemilihan Umum Kota Jakarta Selatan Dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Pemilih Pada Pemilu Tahun 2024
Voter participation is a key element in the implementation of elections and is a benchmark for ideal democracy. However, fluctuating voter participation rates demand effective strategies from election organizers. This study aims to analyze and describe the strategies implemented by the South Jakarta City General Elections Commission (KPU) to increase voter participation in the 2024 Election. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, utilizing primary data sources from field research (interviews and observations) and secondary data in the form of a literature review. Data analysis uses Peter Schroder's theory of political strategy, which divides them into offensive and defensive strategies. The results of this study indicate that the offensive and defensive strategies implemented by the South Jakarta City KPU are effective in increasing voter participation, particularly through education-based communication strategies and digital media. The offensive strategy is realized through face-to-face socialization, the use of social media, and the dissemination of information through various media. Meanwhile, defensive strategies are implemented through cross-institutional coordination and collaboration, including educational and government institutions to maintain public trust. The synergy of these two strategies has succeeded in making South Jakarta the highest voter participation rate in DKI Jakarta Province. The South Jakarta City KPU has succeeded not only in increasing participation quantitatively but also creating a participatory and sustainable democratic system.

“Gereja untuk Tuhan, Compang untuk Leluhur” Sebuah Sintesis Reflektif di Wae Rebo
This research examines the dialogical encounter between Manggarai local spirituality and Catholic theology within the lived faith practices of the Wae Rebo indigenous community in West Flores. Employing a contextual theological approach and cultural hermeneutics, this study highlights how compang rituals, Catholic liturgy, and everyday magi practices do not function as mutually exclusive systems but rather as a reflective synthesis continuously negotiated in social and spiritual life. A micro-ethnography was conducted in April 2025 through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation. The findings reveal that Catholicism operates as a moral–liturgical infrastructure, the compang serves as the cosmological center of analogism, and magi functions as an epistemology of care that regulates the relational balance between humans, nature, and ancestors. Together, these dimensions constitute a reflective synthesis that adapts to the pressures of modernity and tourism while maintaining the ontological sovereignty of the indigenous community. This study enriches the understanding of faith inculturation and religious pluralism in Indonesia and demonstrates that local spirituality can serve as a participatory and dynamic theological space amid social transformation.

Strategi Public Relations Digital Organisasi Sektimuda dalam Mengkonstruksi Identitas Petani Muda Melalui Platform Instagram
Indonesia's agricultural sector faces a regeneration crisis due to the negative stigma that farming is dirty and unpromising. Sekolah Tani Muda (Sektimuda) responds to this by utilizing Instagram to deconstruct this image. This study aims to analyze Sektimuda's digital Public Relations strategy in constructing the identity of young farmers using the R-A-C-E (Research, Action, Communication, Evaluation) model. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with social media managers and content observation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results show that Sektimuda implements an adaptive strategy where the Research and Action phases focus on mapping stigma to position Instagram as a narrative battlefield. In the Communication phase, rather than centralized aesthetics, Sektimuda employs a spirit of equality through communal visuals and ideological narratives regarding independence and systemic awareness, rather than just technical farming. The Evaluation phase confirms that vanity metrics (likes/views) are disregarded in favor of the primary KPI of real participation (class registrants), with audience feedback serving as a mechanism for content improvement. It is concluded that Sektimuda's digital PR strategy successfully reconstructs the farmer identity from physical laborers to politically conscious intellectual subjects. This implies that youth organizations can effectively build image and public participation by prioritizing authentic ideological messages and dialogic interaction over mere visual aesthetics.

Analisis Strategi Komunikasi Digital Kementerian Pertahanan dalam Menjalankan Fungsi Media Relation melalui Website dan Media Sosial Kemhan RI
Communication transformation requires agencies, including the Ministry of Defense (Kemhan RI), to maximize the use of their official websites as communication channels, especially in the context of media relations. Kemhan has unique information characteristics, namely high information sensitivity that requires a balance between transparency and information security. This study aims to analyze the Ministry of Defense's digital communication strategy in carrying out its media relations function. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques of observation and interviews, as well as Miles and Huberman's data analysis technique with the help of the Nvivo 12 application. This study uses Frank Jefkins' Digital Communication and Media Relations theory. The findings of this study indicate that the Ministry of Defense utilizes both platforms as its main communication channels, with the website serving as a source of accurate official information, while social media functions as a means of disseminating interactive and wide-ranging content. This strategy is supported by the provision of accurate information, timely content adjustments, and collaboration to serve the needs of the media in line with Frank Jefkins' media relations theory. This study presents a novelty in examining the media relations practices of the Ministry of Defense, which has high information sensitivity, a new perspective from the literature dominated by other agencies that do not have limitations on public information.

Reconstructing Honor Killing Through Siri’
Honor killing within the Bugis-Makassar community cannot be fully understood through the lens of positive criminal law, as it is grounded in the normative system of siri’, which holds strong social legitimacy. This study addresses a gap in existing literature that overlooks local value systems as a source of normative justification for violence. It employs a qualitative method with a conceptual approach, using library research to explore siri’ as a regulatory structure. The findings reveal that siri’ positions collective honor above individual life, institutionalizing violence as a corrective obligation. The key contribution of this study is the introduction of cultural criminology as an alternative analytical framework to interpret violence legitimized by customary norms. These findings underscore the urgency of reforming criminal law to account for value pluralism within a legally plural society.

Ancaman Penyakit Hewan Menular Terhadap Ketahanan Nasional
Infectious animal diseases are increasingly exhibiting complex and transboundary patterns of spread, potentially disrupting food security, the economy, and public health. This study aims to identify and analyze the potential threats of infectious animal diseases to national resilience. The method used is a descriptive qualitative literature study through a review of scientific literature, policy documents, and reports from national and international institutions to map the relationship between the dynamics of infectious animal diseases and the pillars of national resilience. The results show that disease outbreaks such as foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, rabies, and tuberculosis have a significant impact on livestock productivity, the food supply chain, community social behavior, and the burden on the health system. Significant economic losses, increased zoonotic risks, and disruptions to socio-economic stability demonstrate that infectious animal diseases pose a multidimensional threat to food security, economic security, social security, and national security. These findings emphasize the need for a One Health-based mitigation strategy through strengthening integrated surveillance, increasing laboratory capacity, implementing biosecurity, adapting outbreak responses, and optimizing vaccination. This study contributes to strengthening national resilience policies by emphasizing the importance of cross-sectoral coordination in preventing and controlling infectious animal diseases as part of national biosecurity and stability.

Collaborative Governance Program Patriot Desa Dalam Mengembangkan Potensi Desa di Jawa Barat
This study analyzes collaborative governance in the Patriot Desa Program by examining how multi-actor collaboration works at the village level, particularly in villages with stagnant Village Development Index (IDM) scores such as Situhiang. The research addresses the paradox between IDM improvement and weak institutionalized collaboration in assisted villages. The study aims to describe the dynamics of collaborative governance in planning and implementing the program at village level and to identify factors that limit the effectiveness and sustainability of collaboration. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observation of provincial government actors, Patriot Desa officers, village governments, and local community leaders, using the Collaborative Governance Regime framework as an analytical lens. Findings show that collaboration opens participatory spaces and builds shared motivation at the grassroots, yet agenda setting and strategic decisions remain dominated by bureaucratic actors. Joint action capacity grows through the strengthening of local champions and initiatives based on village potentials, but resource asymmetries, actor rotation, and program cycles make collaboration largely project-based and hinder its transformation into an institutionalized governance regime. The study concludes that collaborative governance in the village context tends to take the form of an administrative collaboration regime, in which institutional trust, adaptive learning, and cross-actor policy integration are still limited. The research offers novelty by presenting a village-level perspective on how collaborative governance operates and encounters structural limits, while pointing to the need for stronger institutional design, more balanced role distribution, and post-program sustainability strategies.

Analisis Kritis Dialog Teologi Ibadah Dan Budaya Populer Dalam Konteks Kontemporer
The rapid growth of popular culture presents both challenges and opportunities for churches to conduct worship that remains relevant in the contemporary context. The gap between rigid traditional practices and modern life shaped by popular culture requires churches to find effective ways to communicate faith values. This study analyzes the relationship between worship theology and popular culture and explores how popular culture can strengthen faith without compromising spiritual depth. Using a qualitative, phenomenological-descriptive approach, the research examines the experiences, perceptions, and worship practices of congregations influenced by popular culture. Data were analyzed by identifying key themes and the relationships between worship theology elements—such as meaning, purpose, motivation, and liturgy—and the phenomenon of popular culture. The findings reveal that popular culture serves as a significant bridge between spirituality and modern life, fostering more contextual, interactive, and reflective expressions of faith. Elements such as contemporary music, digital media, and films function as effective means of theological communication and dialogue with daily life. However, churches must manage their use theologically to balance cultural relevance and spiritual depth. Thus, integrating popular culture into worship encourages the development of more inclusive, reflective, and meaningful worship experiences within the dynamics of modern society.

Studi Kualitatif Tentang Keterampilan Kolaborasi Siswa Dalam Pembelajaran IPS Kelas IV di Sekolah Dasar
Collaborative skills are an essential competency that needs to be developed in Social Studies (IPS) learning; however, in practice, some students are still unable to work together optimally during group activities. This study aims to identify the collaborative skills of fourth-grade students at SD 005 Selunak as demonstrated during the IPS learning process. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interview sheets, observation sheets, and documentation review. The subjects of this study were the fourth-grade teacher and students of SD 005 Selunak. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles & Huberman model, which consists of three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that students’ collaborative skills have begun to develop through group activities, as indicated by active interactions among group members, relatively clear task distribution, attempts to resolve minor conflicts, shared decision-making, and attitudes of mutual support and respect. Nevertheless, some students still require guidance to participate more actively and assume roles more proportionately. In conclusion, students’ collaborative skills are evident in IPS learning, but they still need to be strengthened through continuous practice, teacher guidance, and more structured activity design.

Strategi Partai NasDem dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Politik Non-Formal Anak Muda Melalui Program NasDem Muda dan Remaja Bernegara (RBN)
Youth political participation in Indonesia is characterized by strong demographic weight but weak involvement in party organizations, creating a gap between electoral participation and organizational engagement. This study analyzes the NasDem Party’s strategy to promote non-formal political participation among young people through the NasDem Muda and Remaja Bernegara (RBN) programs. Using a descriptive qualitative approach that combines literature review, documentation, interviews, and social media observation, the research applies Herbert McClosky’s theory of political participation and Harold D. Lasswell’s model of political communication. The findings show that NasDem Muda functions as an accessible digital entry point, while RBN provides more intensive experiential learning through training and simulations. Together, these programs increase youth political literacy, shift participants from apathetic or spectator positions toward more active non-formal engagement, and open informal recruitment channels without requiring formal party membership. The novelty of this study lies in its comparative analysis of two party-led models of non-formal political education based on experiential learning within a single political organization. The study contributes theoretically by linking participation and communication frameworks with the practice of youth-oriented party education, and offers practical guidance for parties in designing participatory, youth-oriented political education programs.

Strategi DPR RI Dalam Meningkatkan Transparansi di Media Sosial
This study analyzes the transparency strategy of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) through its YouTube channel, TV Parlemen, as part of the legislature’s digital communication. The research is motivated by low public trust in the DPR and the growing demand for open, accessible political information in the digital era. It aims to examine how transparency is implemented via TV Parlemen and to assess the effectiveness of this channel in promoting public access to information. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with officials from the Parliamentary News Bureau, the Head of TVR Parlemen, and political observers, complemented by observation of TV Parlemen content and analysis of supporting documents. The findings show that transparency through YouTube remains largely procedural. Although information is opened via live streaming of plenary and commission meetings, the content is dominated by long formats, technical language, and limited contextual explanation, making it difficult for the general public to understand. Mechanisms of agenda setting and quality control also keep openness within institutional boundaries by filtering certain issues, while the interactive features of social media are underutilized. TV Parlemen tends to operate as a one-way documentation channel, reflected in a very low engagement rate of around 0.01%. The study concludes that the channel functions more as an archive than as a medium of substantive transparency, and recommends more concise, contextual, and interactive content packaging to strengthen public understanding and participation.
