WHY PRODESKEL IMPLEMENTATION VARIES: A COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE ANALYSIS OF VILLAGE DIGITAL DATA MANAGEMENT IN GIRI, BANYUWANGI
This study examines why the implementation of the Village and Sub-District Profile Information System (Prodeskel) produces uneven outcomes across local settings in Giri, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. The research problem lies in the persistence of administrative, institutional, and participatory constraints despite the formal availability of a digital village information system. This study aims to analyze how collaborative governance shapes the implementation of Prodeskel and to identify the factors that determine its effectiveness at the local level. The analysis is grounded in the collaborative governance ansel and gash (2008) framework, particularly the dimensions of starting conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, and collaborative process. This research employed a qualitative comparative case study approach using interviews, document review, and thematic analysis. The findings show that the implementation of Prodeskel is influenced not only by technical capacity but also by the quality of leadership, institutional clarity, inter-actor trust, and the degree of community participation. Villages and sub-district actors with stronger facilitative leadership and clearer coordination mechanisms demonstrate more consistent data updating and better implementation outcomes. This study recommends strengthening institutional coordination, improving local technical capacity, and expanding participatory mechanisms to support inclusive and sustainable village digital governance.

FAILURES IN THE GOVERNANCE OF COASTAL AUTHORITY IN THE DESIGNATION OF NATIONAL STRATEGIC PROJECTS: A CASE STUDY OF REMPANG ECO CITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW NO. 23 OF 2014 ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT
This study aims to analyze governance failure in the designation of the Rempang Eco City National Strategic Project (PSN) from the perspective of Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Government. The central problem lies in whether the PSN designation through Ministerial Coordination Regulation No. 7 of 2023 violated provincial coastal authority as mandated under Article 27 of Law No. 23 of 2014. Drawing on the theories of decentralization, intergovernmental relations, and administrative law, this study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using a single case study method and document analysis. The findings reveal three administrative defects: (1) overlapping authority between the central and provincial governments in coastal zoning; (2) the absence of the Riau Islands Province Coastal and Small Island Zoning Plan (RZWP-3K) as an investment prerequisite; and (3) the lack of vertical intergovernmental coordination mechanisms consistent with decentralization principles. The revocation of PSN status through Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2025 confirms this policy failure, yet lacks adequate administrative transition mechanisms. This study recommends reforming PSN designation procedures to mandate fulfillment of provincial coastal spatial planning prerequisites and institutionalizing vertical coordination mechanisms in small island governance.

PENTAHELIX MODEL COLLABORATION AS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT IN ANTI-CORRUPTION ECOSYSTEMS
This study aims to analyze the integration of roles between the government, business sector, civil society, academia, and the media through the Pentahelix framework to create a comprehensive anti-corruption system. This study aims to formulate a strategic collaboration model to close systemic gaps and transform the approach to eradicating corruption into a sustainable collective responsibility. Methodologically, this study uses a descriptive qualitative design to explore the dynamics of intersectoral collaboration. The methods applied include a case study focusing on intersectoral collaboration in corruption eradication efforts. Data collection techniques through data triangulation, which integrates the study of regulatory documentation and official reports with in-depth interviews with representatives from the five pillars of Pentahelix. The data analysis process uses content analysis and thematic analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The main findings of this study confirm that the effectiveness of corruption eradication is highly dependent on a paradigm shift from sectoral work to interactive collaboration. Synergy between the government, business sector, civil society, academics, and the media is an absolute prerequisite for building a strong anti-corruption ecosystem. Through integrated roles, the Pentahelix model has proven capable of addressing the complexities of corruption more comprehensively.

SATRIYA CULTURE AND PUBLIC SERVICE PERFORMANCE: A STUDY OF ORGANIZATION REGIONAL APPARATUS AT THE SPECIAL REGION OF YOGYAKARTA
This study analyzes the implementation of Satriya cultural values by civil servants (ASN) at the Regional Secretariat of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study is motivated by the fact that the application of these values still faces challenges, such as differing interpretations among civil servants regarding these cultural values, inadequate implementation of Satriya cultural values by civil servants, obstacles in dissemination, and a lack of consistent monitoring. Based on George C. Edward III’s model, the four main variables of successful implementation are communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature reviews, with informants selected through purposive sampling. Values such as harmony, exemplary conduct, and willingness to serve are reflected in ASN’s behavior; however, improving professionalism and service orientation remains challenging. Supporting factors include leadership commitment, organizational structure, and coordination, while inhibiting factors include resource constraints, low discipline, and a work culture not yet fully adaptive. Innovation values are more difficult to internalize than service orientation. This study recommends strengthening synergy between local cultural values and modern bureaucratic systems to achieve good governance.

THE COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE IN THE RUMAH PENTING PROGRAM: A STUDY ON STRENGTHENING ADOLESCENT PARTICIPATION IN STUNTING MITIGATION IN JEMBRANA REGENCY
This study aims to analyze the role of adolescent participation through the Rumah Penting initiative in addressing stunting in Jembrana Regency, Bali Province. This study employs the collaborative governance theory proposed by Chris Ansell and Alison Gash (2008), which emphasizes four key dimensions: initial conditions, facilitative leadership, institutional design, and collaborative processes in achieving collective outcomes. A qualitative case study approach was applied, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the implementation of Rumah Penting reflects an effective collaborative governance process. Initial conditions were characterized by limited resources but supported by social trust, prior collaboration, and shared commitment among stakeholders. Facilitative leadership played a significant role in creating an inclusive and participatory environment, enabling adolescents to act as agents of change in stunting prevention. Institutional support through local policies and the GenRe forum further strengthened youth participation, while the collaborative process was reflected in open communication, shared responsibilities, and collective ownership. These efforts generated tangible outcomes, including increased nutritional awareness, stronger family engagement, and improved adolescent capacity in stunting advocacy. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening institutional support, expanding adolescent-based collaborative initiatives, and replicating the Rumah Penting model to accelerate stunting reduction efforts in Indonesia.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FLEXIBLE WORKING ARRANGEMENT (FWA) POLICY AT THE REGIONAL SECRETARIAT OF EAST JAVA PROVINCE: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY IN CRISIS SITUATIONS
Despite growing adoption of Flexible Working Arrangement (FWA) in public sector organisations, scholarly understanding of how civil servants subjectively experience and make meaning of FWA implementation in acute security crisis conditions — as distinct from health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic — remains critically limited. Grounded in Edmund Husserl's descriptive phenomenology, the study employs Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method as its analytical framework. Data were gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively selected civil servants across five bureaux, supplemented by documentary analysis of the Governor's Circular Letter Number 11410 of 2025. Five major themes emerged: (1) shock and uncertainty amid crisis; (2) existential dilemma between personal safety and professional responsibility; (3) rapid adaptation through technology as a bridge for service; (4) reconceptualisation of the meaning of public service; and (5) organisational learning for future policy. The essence of the experience is formulated as existential negotiation between fear and professional commitment — a transformative journey to find meaning in service amid uncertainty. It is recommended that regional governments institutionalise crisis-responsive FWA protocols, strengthen ICT infrastructure, and develop results-based performance management systems that accommodate psychological as well as operational dimensions of flexible work.

STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING VOTE BUYING AND ENFORCING VILLAGE APPARATUS NEUTRALITY IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS
This study aims to analyze strategies for preventing vote buying and enforcing the neutrality of village officials in the 2024 General Election in East Lampung Regency within the context of the open list proportional electoral system. The study focuses on the persistence of vote buying practices and indications of non-neutral behavior among village officials that potentially undermine electoral integrity at the local level. This research applies Arend Lijphart’s (1994) electoral system theory, which argues that electoral system design influences political competition and the behavior of electoral actors. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews and documentation techniques involving election organizers, election supervisory bodies, and village officials. The findings indicate that the open list proportional system intensifies personalized competition among candidates, including within the same political party, thereby encouraging transactional practices such as vote buying to secure electoral support. The study also identified indications of violations of village officials’ neutrality, although many cases were not formally reported. Therefore, strengthening political education for voters, neutrality training for village officials, participatory monitoring mechanisms, and accessible public reporting systems is necessary to improve electoral integrity and transparency.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE EMPOWERMENT BETWEEN COMPANIES AND COMMUNITIES IN THE NICKEL MINING REGION OF KOLAKA REGENCY
Partnerships between companies and communities are crucial for empowering communities in mining areas. However, in Kolaka Regency, these partnerships have not been implemented optimally or sustainably. This is evident from low community participation, weak coordination among stakeholders, short-term program initiatives, and a lack of partnership models tailored to local needs. This study utilizes partnership theory, which includes pseudo-partnerships, mutualistic partnerships, and conjugative partnerships. This study aims to analyze and develop a model for strategic partnerships between companies and communities in sustainable empowerment programs within the nickel mining area of Kolaka Regency. It employs a qualitative approach that includes interviews, observations, and documentation. The research findings indicate that partnerships between companies and communities are often superficial, as planning and decision-making processes have not been conducted collaboratively. As a result, empowerment programs are not fully aligned with community needs and lack sustainability. Additionally, these partnerships exhibit semi-productive characteristics that are short-term in nature and lack a vision for sustainable development. Local governments need to facilitate multi-stakeholder partnerships among mining companies, communities, government, and academics. This approach will strengthen coordination and empower communities based on research and local needs in a participatory and sustainable manner.

THE INFLUENCE OF LOCAL WISDOM “RAMBU SOLO”, CULTURAL IDENTITY, AND POWER DISTANCE ON THE LEADERSHIP STYLE OF THE HEAD OF LEMBANG BUNTU DATU, MENGKENDEK SUBDISTRICT, TANA TORAJA
This study aims to analyze the influence of local wisdom Rambu Solo’, cultural identity, and power distance on the leadership style of the Head of Lembang in Lembang Buntu Datu, Tana Toraja. The problem discussed in this study is the tension between efforts to implement a participatory-modern leadership style and the strong influence of the hierarchical social structure rooted in Lembang Buntu Datu. The study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design involving 85 respondents through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS. The results showed that Rambu Solo’ had a positive and significant effect ($p = 0.009 < 0.05$) and power distance had a significant positive effect ($p = 0.004 < 0.05$) on leadership style. However, cultural identity did not have a significant effect ($p = 0.195 > 0.05$). The regression model was declared feasible through the F-test, with a coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 25.6%. Meanwhile, 74.4% ois a variation that cannot be explained by this research model. This study provides a theoretical contribution to the development of culture-based leadership by integrating local wisdom and power distance dimensions.

BUREAUCRATIC REFORM IN ACHIEVING INTEGRITY ZONE
This study aims to explore how bureaucratic reform has achieved integrity zones in the Bojonegoro Regency Transportation Agency. This study highlights the achievements and titles earned by the Bojonegoro District Transportation Agency as a Corruption-Free Zone. The research approach used is a descriptive qualitative case study. This study employs data collection methods that include interviews, documentation, and observation. Data analysis techniques use NVivo 12 Pro software. The primary concept employed in this study is the concept of bureaucratic reform in the development of integrity zones, as outlined in PERMENPAN-RB No. 90 of 2021 and Kolthoff's Public Integrity theory. The findings show that bureaucratic reform at the Bojonegoro district transportation agency has been progressing well, with the commitment of leaders and employees, as evidenced by employees' performance in maintaining the title of a corruption-free region. Challenges arise from service users' resistance, low understanding of service users regarding the complaint mechanism, and a failure to uphold the value of honesty among technical staff in the vehicle inspection service unit. This study recommends strengthening integrity values for all employees, optimizing the dissemination of service applications and complaint systems to the public, and increasing supervision to ensure the sustainability of the Integrity Zone.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLRI SUPER APP PROGRAM IN THE POLICE RECORD CERTIFICATE (SKCK) SERVICE AT THE INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY UNIT OF TANJUNG PERAK PORT POLICE
This study examines the implementation of the Super App Polri program in the Police Record Certificate (SKCK) service at the Intelligence and Security Unit of the Tanjung Perak Port Police. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation, the research adopts Edward III’s policy implementation model consisting of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that the program has been implemented effectively, supported by structured coordination meetings, targeted socialization efforts, adequate facilities, competent personnel, positive officer attitudes, and clear Standard Operating Procedures. However, several obstacles remain, including limited public dissemination, low digital literacy, unstable internet connectivity, and insufficient digital devices among applicants. To address these issues, the police unit conducts routine evaluations, expands socialization through various media, provides direct assistance for digitally inexperienced users, and strengthens internal coordination. These continuous improvement efforts demonstrate Polri’s commitment to advancing a digital public service system that is more accessible, transparent, and efficient.

FROM QUOTAS TO SUBSTANCE: IMPLEMENTING REGIONAL REGULATION NO. 9 ON GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN DPRD BOJONEGORO
This study is motivated by persistent gender disparities showing that increased women’s numerical representation in local legislatures has not ensured the substantive integration of gender perspectives. It examines the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 9 of 2025 on Gender Mainstreaming in the Bojonegoro District Parliament. The research addresses the gap between the formal adoption of gender mainstreaming policy and its limited operationalization within the legislative, budgeting, and oversight functions of the DPRD. This study is grounded in substantive representation theory and the gender mainstreaming framework to analyze institutional dynamics of gender-responsive policy implementation. The research employs a qualitative case study approach using in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, with data analyzed through the Miles-Huberman interactive model supported by NVivo coding to identify patterns of PUG implementation within the DPRD. The findings show that the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 9 of 2025 remains largely normative due to the absence of technocratic instruments translating the PUG mandate into concrete legislative procedures. Moreover, the uneven distribution of women in strategic positions limits the DPRD’s institutional capacity to consistently integrate gender perspectives. Although female legislators demonstrate substantive contributions, these remain individual rather than institutionalized due to weak organizational support and limited inter-institutional coordination.

DIRECTION OF EDUCATIONAL POLICY IN THE FORMATION OF TEACHER PROFESSIONALISM IN THE SUBJECT OF CIVIC AND CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA
This paper discusses the direction of educational policy in the formation of teacher professionalism in the subject of Civic and Citizenship Education (CCE) in Australia by reviewing teacher qualification standards, learning strategies, and the implementation of citizenship pedagogy in minimal–maximal contexts. This study uses a literature review method through the analysis of policy documents, scientific publications, and institutional reports related to the development of teacher professionalism. The results of the study indicate that teacher professionalism in Australia is built through comprehensive AITSL standards that emphasize professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional engagement. Teachers act as facilitators who encourage student autonomy, democratic learning, and participation in school and community environments through classroom, extracurricular, and community-based approaches. When compared with practices in Hong Kong, Australian teacher professionalism is more inclined toward the maximal context because CCE learning is directed at creating active citizens who are critical, participatory, and sensitive to contemporary socio-political issues. These findings confirm that Australian government policies make a significant contribution to strengthening teacher professionalism and the effectiveness of Civic and Citizenship Education learning.

BOOSTING HUMAN CAPITAL: TRANSFORMING BOJONEGORO’S HUMAN RESOURSE CAPACITY THROUGH K3 CERTIFICATION AND BNSP COMPETENCY
This study aims to analyse the impact of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training and certification on improving human resource capacity in Bojonegoro Regency. The main issue is the suboptimal utilisation of OHS training programmes in improving the competence and productivity of participants from the Department of Industry and Labour. The research is based on human capital theory, the Kirkpatrick evaluation model, and the ADKAR change model, which integrate a holistic approach to human resource development. The research method used an explanatory quantitative approach with primary data collection through questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability on 114 training participants using purposive sampling techniques, then analysed using descriptive analysis and simple linear regression with SPSS application. The results showed that most participants experienced a significant increase in knowledge, skills, attitudes, and motivation to apply OSH principles in the workplace. The validity, reliability, normality, and simple linear regression tests proved the effect of training on human resource capacity. The research recommendations emphasise that OSH training and certification are investment strategies that need to be continuously improved through sustainable curriculum development, sustainable evaluation mechanisms, and institutional support to ensure the transfer of knowledge to practice in the field.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GOVERNANCE IN IMPROVING DIGITAL LITERACY FOR THE PREVENTION OF ONLINE GAMBLING IN THE MINISTRY OF RELIGIOUS OF BOJONEGORO REGENCY
This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of the Bojonegoro District Ministry of Religious Affairs in building public participation through strengthening digital literacy based on religious values as an effort to prevent online gambling. The focus of the research problem lies in the low quality of community participation, which is still symbolic and does not yet show active involvement in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of policies. In this context, public participation does not yet fully reflect empowerment but remains at a consultative level without a balanced distribution of power between the government and the community. This study uses Sherry R. Arnstein's Ladder of Citizen Participation Theory to identify the position and dynamics of ongoing participation. The approach used is a qualitative case study with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation analysis. The results of the study show that public participation is still at a tokenistic level, characterized by one-way communication, limited dialogue spaces, and the dominance of top-down policy approaches. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening participatory governance through inclusive dialogue forums, secure and responsive reporting systems, cross-sector collaboration, and the strengthening of digital literacy based on religious values in a sustainable and structured manner.

WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION IN LOCAL POLITICS IN BOJONEGORO: CHALLENGES AND STRENGTHENING STRATEGIES THROUGH THE 30% QUOTA POLICY
The problem addressed in this study is the stagnation of women’s representation in the Bojonegoro District House of Representatives (DPRD), which remains at approximately 10–15% and has not reached the mandated 30% quota. This study aims to analyze the obstacles and formulate strengthening strategies for women’s political representation in local politics through the implementation of the 30% quota policy. This research is grounded in theories of gender representation, descriptive representation, and affirmative action policies in politics. The study employs a descriptive qualitative research method, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the implementation of the 30% quota policy in legislative elections tends to be merely administrative and has not substantially increased women’s electoral success. The main obstacles include entrenched patriarchal culture, limited political party support, and electoral constraints such as insufficient campaign funding and weak political networks. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening political party commitment to cadre development, enhancing electoral oversight mechanisms, and implementing continuous women’s political empowerment programs at the local level to transform women’s representation from symbolic participation into substantive political influence.

OPTIMIZING VILLAGE FUND ALLOCATION TO STRENGTHEN HUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITY IN BUKIT MAKMUR VILLAGE
This study aims to analyze the utilization of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in strengthening human resource capacity in Bukit Makmur Village, Kaliorang Subdistrict, East Kutai Regency. The research approach used is qualitative with a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies. Research informants included village officials, community organizations, and beneficiaries selected purposively. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation of sources and techniques to ensure data validity. The results of the study show that the use of ADD in Bukit Makmur Village is not only focused on physical development but also directed at human resource development through various community empowerment programs. These programs include job skills training such as sewing, cooking, entrepreneurship, and agricultural product processing, capacity building for village officials through technical guidance, and strengthening social institutions such as the PKK and Karang Taruna. The implementation of these programs has had an impact on improving community competence, economic independence, and social participation. In terms of effectiveness and efficiency, ADD management is considered to be on target and accountable, with a budget realization rate of 99.95% and active community involvement in every stage of the activities.

TRADE UNIONS’ COLLECTIVE POWER IN DECARBONIZATION FOR ENSURING A JUST ENERGY TRANSITION SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
A just energy transition requires not only technological shifts toward clean energy but also social inclusion and fairness in the world of work. Trade unions play a dual role—protecting workers while shaping energy policy and advancing social justice—yet their strategic contributions remain understudied, especially in comparisons between developed and developing countries. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA protocol on 25 peer-reviewed publications (2015–2025). Trade union strategies are interpreted using Kalt’s (2022) typology—oppositional, reactive, affirmative, transformational—and analyzed through six empowerment dimensions: structural, organizational, advocacy/negotiation, socio-cultural, economic, and ideological. Findings show unions in developed countries predominantly adopt affirmative and transformational strategies, engaging in reskilling initiatives, climate negotiations, and institutionalized social dialogue. Conversely, unions in developing countries rely more on oppositional or reactive strategies due to limited institutional capacity and weaker bargaining positions amid rapid transition policies. The study underscores the need for multidimensional empowerment to strengthen unions’ ability to influence policy and safeguard workers during decarbonization. These insights offer practical implications for policymakers and labor organizations committed to equity, sustainability, and socio-ecological justice in energy transitions.

SOCIAL CAPITAL AND RESILIENCE OF DAWAR ISLAMIC SCHOOL AND ITS ROLES TO SUPPORT SANTRI ALUMNI’S SOCIOECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE
The role of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia extends beyond religious education, functioning as agents of socio-economic transformation. This article explores the process of socio-economic independence among graduates of Dawar Islamic Boarding School in Boyolali, Central Java, with particular attention to the dynamics of social capital, graduate networks, and resilience in facing post-boarding challenges. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The SLR analysis draws on national and international publications related to student empowerment, the economics of Islamic boarding schools, and social capital theory to outline the research landscape and reinforce the theoretical foundation. The findings indicate that graduates’ success in achieving independence is shaped not only by the practical skills gained during their education but also by the strength of their social networks, collective norms, and adaptive abilities in accessing economic opportunities. Dawar Islamic Boarding School demonstrates a strategic role in integrating religious instruction with collective work habits, equipping graduates with essential values, competencies, and community-relevant networks. These insights enrich discussions on the contributions of traditional Islamic boarding schools to strengthening civil society and confirm that post-boarding independence results from the interplay of spiritual formation, accumulated social capital, and adaptive strategies in navigating socio-economic realities.

NEGOTIATING POWER AND COLLECTIVE ADVOCACY STRATEGIES AMONG JAKARTA’S HOME-BASED WORKERS IN A PUTTING-OUT SYSTEM
This study examines the collective advocacy strategies of the Jakarta Home-Based Workers Network (JPRJ) in addressing structural inequalities affecting women home-based workers under the putting-out system. Although collective organizing can generate counter-power at the community level—manifested as power within, power with, and power to—the movement continues to face structural barriers. These obstacles emerge from state strategies that dilute labor demands through tokenistic participation and by reframing home-based workers as micro-entrepreneurs rather than as legal subjects entitled to labor rights. Using John Gaventa’s Power Cube and Jo Rowlands’s empowerment framework, the study analyzes how hidden and invisible power sustain exploitative labor relations. Through a qualitative case study in North Jakarta, the findings show that JPRJ cultivates critical consciousness, strategic alliances, and actions that strengthen collective advocacy. These efforts include a judicial review of the Manpower Act and the creation of alternative community spaces such as the Pos UKK and worker cooperatives. The study concludes that the success of home-based worker advocacy at the macro level depends on collective solidarity and on dismantling state-led identity reframing that obscures workers’ legal status. Policy recommendations include ratifying ILO Convention No.177, establishing national regulations recognizing home-based workers, and integrating their data into official labor statistics.

THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE 3-IN-1 AND ODD-EVEN POLICIES IN EFFORTS TO CONTROL TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN JAKARTA
This study examines a comparative analysis between the 3-in-1 and Odd-Even traffic policies implemented in Jakarta as efforts to control congestion in the city. The main problem addressed is the ineffectiveness and sustainability of these traffic restriction systems in reducing congestion over time. The purpose of this research is to identify the differences in regulation, implementation mechanisms, outcomes, and advantages-disadvantages between the two policies. Using a qualitative descriptive method supported by document analysis, literature review, and interview results, the study evaluates both policies through the theoretical framework of Dye (2013), Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith (1993), and Grindle (1980). The findings indicate that the Odd-Even policy is more effective and transparent due to the integration of electronic enforcement systems and measurable environmental benefits, while the 3-in-1 policy, though initially simple and cost-efficient, faced issues of misuse and low compliance. The study concludes that technological integration and public participation are key to improving the sustainability of traffic management policies in Jakarta.

POLITICAL AND IDENTITY REPRESENTATION IN WARFARE (2025): VISUALIZING MIDDLE EASTERN MUSLIMS IN POST-9/11 AMERICAN CINEMA
This study examines how Warfare (2025), a post-9/11 American war film, represents the political and identity positioning of Middle Eastern Muslims. Using Edward Said’s Orientalism, Homi K. Bhabha’s Postcolonial Theory, and qualitative textual–cinematic analysis, the research explores how the film frames American military subjectivity while minimizing the visibility and agency of Middle Eastern Muslim characters. The study aims to understand how the film’s narrative structure and visual choices shape ideological meaning and reinforce familiar patterns of representation in war cinema. The findings show that the film employs a subtle but persistent strategy of erasure, portraying Iraqi civilians only in brief, backgrounded moments without dialogue, cultural detail, or narrative importance. In contrast, the emotional and psychological experiences of U.S. soldiers are depicted with depth and consistency, encouraging viewers to align with American perspectives. These representational patterns ultimately reaffirm Orientalist hierarchies and support a broader legitimization of U.S. militarism within contemporary cinematic storytelling.

EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY IN THE FORMULATION OF LOCAL REGULATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF THE RIAU PROVINCE HOUSING AND SETTLEMENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICY
Housing and settlement issues in Riau Province continue to increase in line with population growth, urbanization, high housing backlog rates, and the existence of slums and disaster-prone areas. This study aims to examine the application of EBP in the Riau Province RP3KP through three main aspects: the commitment of policy actors, the use of data and scientific knowledge, and the organizational readiness for implementation. The study uses a post-positivist qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results show that political support for the RP3KP is relatively strong, but the involvement of non-governmental actors is still limited. Scientifically, the drafting of the RP3KP has utilized primary and secondary data, but the integration of local empirical findings is still weak. From an implementation perspective, institutional capacity and cross-sector coordination are not yet fully ready, especially in relation to synchronization with the Spatial Plan (RTRW). These findings emphasize the need to strengthen EBP so that the RP3KP is more adaptive, contextual, and effective in addressing the complexity of housing issues in Riau.

IMPLICATIONS OF MINING CONCESSION ACCEPTANCE FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF MUHAMMADIYAH
This study examines the implications of mining concessions being accepted by religious community organizations, focusing on the case study of Muhamadiyah in Indonesia. As the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia, the institution is involved in natural resource management through the acceptance of mining concessions granted by the government. This creates a dilemma between economic interests and religious, ecological and social values. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact and implications on the patron-client relationship between the government and Muhammadiyah, the relationship with local communities, and the environmental and economic implications. The methodological approach adopted is of a qualitative nature, employing a case study strategy that encompasses secondary data analysis from research documents and Indonesian mining regulations. The results indicate an ethical dilemma concerning the exploitation of resources, which is in conflict with the ideological values of Muhamadiyah, as well as with the principles of sustainability and Islamic values. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a conflict with local communities due to pollution and deforestation, and there is a risk of declining public trust in Muhamadiyah. The study's findings underscore the significance of integrating Islamic ethics through transparency and community participation to mitigate adverse effects and bolster muhammadiyah's societal function.

POLICY FORMULATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF REGIONAL REGULATIONS ON THE EMPOWERMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION OF MICRO ENTERPRISES IN SAMARINDA CITY
This study aims to identify policy formulation and inhibiting factors in the formation of local regulations related to the Empowerment, Development, and Protection of Micro Enterprises in Samarinda City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data from several sources such as interviews, official documents, and field observations. The findings show that this policy serves as a form of support for national regulations and solutions to overcome various problems faced by micro business actors in Samarinda City. However, the process of forming this regional regulation still encounters several obstacles: lack of human resource capabilities, lack of communication between DPRD leaders and Bapemperda members, lack of commitment and inefficient time management during the formulation process, and the absence of permanent regulations that regulate the work mechanism and stages of the formation functionThis study recommends capacity building for DPRD members and AKD Support Staff, improving effective communication between the Leadership and Bapemperda, improving integrated time management, and establishing special DPRD regulations that regulate the procedural rules and mechanisms of the regional regulation formation process.
