Abstract

This community service aims to strengthen the legal protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs) in North Sulawesi against unauthorized commercial utilization by improving stakeholders' understanding of communal intellectual property (IP) protection and enhancing readiness for inventory and documentation. The program adopted a participatory legal community service approach involving needs identification, legal counseling, interactive discussions, and evaluation with local stakeholders. The needs assessment identified two major challenges: incomplete inventory and documentation of TCEs for communal intellectual property registration and the absence of local mechanisms governing permission and benefit-sharing for commercial utilization. To address these issues, the program produced three practical outputs: a shared action pathway for communal IP registration, a simplified inventory and documentation checklist, and policy recommendations supporting local regulations on permission and benefit-sharing. The findings indicate that legal counseling combined with stakeholder participation can improve institutional readiness for communal IP protection while providing an operational basis for strengthening preventive legal protection. The program also highlights the importance of developing regional regulations or a sui generis legal framework to ensure legal certainty, equitable benefit-sharing, and the sustainable preservation of Traditional Cultural Expressions in North Sulawesi. This aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the economic sector cover various aspects, including poverty-oriented economic development. The financial sector has undergone modernisation marked by the emergence of financial technology (fintech). In Indonesia, fintech is regulated by Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) No. 40 of 2024, but this regulation has weaknesses. This study aims to identify the relevance between SDG principles and current fintech practices and to formulate the direction of POJK No. 40 of 2024 on fintech lending in realising SDGs in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical based on literature, referring to laws and regulations, books, journals, and supporting data. The analysis was conducted descriptively through a legal and conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that fintech lending has a strong connection with the SDGs pillars, so fintech policies need to be directed in line with the vision of sustainable development. The regulations in POJK No. 40 of 2024 have the potential to hinder the establishment of business entities and trigger the emergence of illegal services. Therefore, a balance of policies and increased socialisation are needed to improve the legal culture of society.
