Abstract

Elections are a fundamental mechanism of democracy, granting citizens the right to select leaders or representatives who will advocate for their interests and aspirations in political decision-making. Achieving electoral victory and securing a legislative position is the ultimate goal for all candidates. However, legislative candidates who face defeat, especially after significant financial investments, may struggle to cope with the harsh reality of failure. This increases their vulnerability to stress and even severe depression. While the provision of hospital facilities for failed candidates has been attempted, concerns over misuse render it less effective. Therefore, an alternative approach is needed, such as utilizing the MentalCare website to mitigate depression among unsuccessful legislative candidates. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the MentalCare website in addressing depression among failed legislative candidates in Ambon City. Using a qualitative descriptive research method, the findings reveal that the MentalCare website demonstrates significant potential in positively impacting mental health, particularly in managing depression among candidates who experienced electoral failure. By overcoming existing barriers and continually improving service quality, the MentalCare website can emerge as an effective and sustainable solution for promoting individual and community mental well-being.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine and analyze the role of the Camat (Sub-district Head) in the era of Regional Autonomy, focusing on their position as the spearhead of governance at the sub-district level. This study adopts a normative-prescriptive approach, seeking arguments from research findings to assess what is right or wrong and to formulate what should be according to the law. In analyzing the Camat's role, Soekanto's concept of Role is employed, which highlights the Camat's position in carrying out their rights and obligations, including the authority vested in them. Based on this analysis, it is found that the Camat holds a highly strategic position within the regional government structure, acting as a direct liaison between the district/city government and the community at the sub-district level. However, this strategic position also brings dilemmas. On one hand, the Camat is expected to perform coordination, supervision, and guidance functions for village/urban village apparatus while implementing policies set by the regional government. On the other hand, the Camat often faces limitations in resources, whether in terms of budget, authority, or administrative support, which can affect the optimization of their role. Thus, the Camat's role in the era of Regional Autonomy is crucial yet challenging. Strengthening capacity and clarifying regulations are necessary to support the Camat in carrying out their duties and functions effectively and efficiently.

Abstract

The implementation of Islamic criminal law in Aceh represents a distinctive legal phenomenon within Indonesia’s unitary state system, particularly through the enforcement of Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayat Law. One form of offense regulated under this qanun is khalwat, which is regarded as a moral violation with potential social consequences. Despite the existence of a clear legal framework, violations of khalwat continue to occur, indicating challenges in law enforcement at the local level. This study aims to analyze the enforcement of khalwat regulations by the Civil Service Police Unit (Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja) in Langsa City, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine the efforts undertaken to overcome enforcement obstacles. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers and relevant stakeholders, direct observation of enforcement practices, and documentation analysis of legal and institutional records. Data were analyzed thematically using an interactive model, supported by law enforcement theory and Islamic legal principles. Data triangulation was applied to ensure the validity and credibility of the findings. The findings reveal that khalwat enforcement in Langsa City has been conducted in accordance with existing legal provisions through patrols, supervision, and case handling procedures. However, enforcement remains inconsistent due to limited human resources, inadequate logistical support, and budgetary constraints. Socio-cultural factors, including varying public perceptions and resistance toward enforcement actions, further hinder effectiveness. In response, Satpol PP has implemented several strategic measures, including capacity building, community engagement, public legal education, and strengthened interagency coordination. This study concludes that effective enforcement of khalwat regulations requires more than coercive legal measures. A holistic approach that integrates legal certainty, institutional capacity, and socio-cultural engagement is essential to enhance compliance and legitimacy. Strengthening legal awareness, improving resource allocation, and fostering community participation are critical for the sustainable enforcement of Islamic criminal law in Aceh.

Abstract

This study examines the legal accountability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) use in administrative decision-making in Indonesia. The main objective is to clarify the juridical position of AI within government administration and to determine whether AI may function as an autonomous decision-maker or only as an auxiliary instrument supporting public officials. This research employs a qualitative legal method with a normative-juridical approach and a single-case study of Indonesia. Data were collected through documentary study of primary legal materials, including laws and regulations on government administration, public services, electronic-based government, electronic systems, and personal data protection, supported by relevant scholarly literature on AI accountability and public administration. The findings show that Indonesian law does not recognize AI as a holder of public authority. Administrative authority remains attached to government bodies and authorized public officials. AI may assist processes such as data verification, risk assessment, classification, and recommendation, but final decisions affecting citizens’ rights, obligations, legal status, or access to public services must remain under human legal responsibility. The study also finds that Indonesia’s regulatory framework remains fragmented and lacks specific rules on human oversight, explainability, auditability, and contestability in AI-assisted decisions. This article contributes by proposing the concept of AI-assisted administrative accountability, which places AI under legality, human authority, procedural fairness, data protection, and public accountability.

Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of the principle of due process of law in automated public decision-making within digital public services in Indonesia. The objective is to analyze how citizens’ procedural rights should be protected when public service decisions are made, supported, or significantly influenced by algorithmic systems. This research employs a qualitative legal method with a normative-juridical and conceptual approach. Data were collected through documentary study of Indonesian legal instruments concerning government administration, public services, personal data protection, electronic systems, and electronic-based government, supported by relevant scholarly literature on automated decision-making, administrative law, and algorithmic accountability. The findings show that Indonesia’s current legal framework provides general principles of legality, accountability, public service obligations, and data protection, but has not yet specifically regulated the procedural consequences of automated public decision-making. This regulatory gap may weaken citizens’ ability to understand, correct, question, and challenge algorithm-based public service decisions. The study proposes an algorithmic due process framework consisting of five core rights: the right to notification, the right to explanation, the right to data correction, the right to meaningful human review, and the right to administrative or judicial challenge. This study contributes to administrative law scholarship by linking classical due process principles with algorithmic governance in digital public services.
