Urban waste management has become a critical challenge in rapidly growing cities due to increasing population, urbanization, and consumption patterns that generate large volumes of waste. Sustainable waste management systems are therefore required to reduce environmental impacts and improve resource efficiency. This study aims to analyze the contribution of circular economy practices, waste management literacy, and infrastructure support to the sustainability of urban waste management in the City of Surabaya. The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 150 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that circular economy practices, waste management literacy, and infrastructure support all have positive and significant effects on the sustainability of urban waste management. Waste management literacy shows the strongest influence on sustainability, followed by circular economy practices and infrastructure support. The regression analysis shows that the three independent variables collectively explain 54.9% of the variation in urban waste management sustainability. These findings suggest that improving public environmental knowledge, encouraging circular economy practices such as recycling and waste reduction, and strengthening waste management infrastructure can significantly enhance sustainable urban waste management. The study provides practical implications for policymakers and urban planners to develop integrated strategies that combine community participation, environmental education, and infrastructure development to achieve sustainable waste management systems.

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainability orientation and eco-friendly promotion on marketing performance and brand reputation of eco-friendly miscro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Bandung. In the context of increasing environmental awareness and competitive market dynamics, MSMEs are required to adopt sustainable practices and communicate them effectively to enhance both performance and public perception. This research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 180 MSMEs owners and managers through a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 3. The results indicate that sustainability orientation has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance and brand reputation. Eco-friendly promotion also shows a significant and stronger influence on marketing performance and brand reputation. Furthermore, marketing performance has a positive effect on brand reputation and serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between sustainability orientation, eco-friendly promotion, and brand reputation. The model demonstrates strong explanatory and predictive power, indicating that sustainability-driven strategies are critical for enhancing business outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the integration of sustainability and marketing strategies in MSMEs, particularly in developing countries. Practically, the findings offer strategic insights for MSMEs owners to improve competitiveness and long-term brand value through sustainable practices.

The rapid expansion of online marketplaces has created significant opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses to access broader markets and improve business performance. However, the ability of sellers to achieve sustainable performance is influenced by the quality of platform management and the support mechanisms provided by marketplace operators. This study aims to examine the impact of platform governance and seller support on seller performance among online marketplace sellers in West Java. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 125 online marketplace sellers as respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The data analysis included validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results indicate that both platform governance and seller support have a positive and significant effect on seller performance. Platform governance shows a significant influence, demonstrating that transparent policies, transaction security, and fair platform management contribute to improved seller outcomes. Meanwhile, seller support has a stronger positive influence, indicating that training programs, technical assistance, marketing support, and communication facilities play important roles in enhancing sellers’ capabilities. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.520) shows that platform governance and seller support explain 52.0% of the variation in seller performance. This study highlights that marketplace providers should develop integrated governance systems and comprehensive seller support programs to strengthen seller competitiveness and promote sustainable digital commerce development, particularly in the West Java marketplace ecosystem.

This study analyzes corporate liability for environmental crimes within industrial supply chains in Indonesia through a normative legal approach integrating criminal and administrative law perspectives. The research examines the adequacy of the existing legal framework, particularly Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, in addressing corporate accountability for environmental harm. By applying statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this study identifies key challenges in enforcement, including difficulties in proving corporate intent, fragmentation of responsibility within supply chains, and the predominance of administrative sanctions over criminal prosecution. The findings indicate that although Indonesian law formally recognizes corporate criminal liability and incorporates strict liability principles, practical implementation remains limited due to evidentiary constraints, institutional weaknesses, and regulatory gaps. Furthermore, the complexity of industrial supply chains enables corporations to diffuse responsibility through subcontracting and outsourcing practices. This study proposes an integrated liability model that strengthens coordination between criminal and administrative enforcement, expands corporate responsibility across supply chains, and enhances the deterrent effect of sanctions. The study contributes to legal scholarship by offering a holistic framework for corporate environmental accountability and provides policy recommendations to support sustainable industrial governance in Indonesia.

This study examines the legal liability of digital platforms in the dissemination of illegal content through a normative legal analysis, with a particular focus on reconstructing a framework that effectively protects citizens’ rights. The rapid growth of digital platforms such as Google, Meta Platforms, and TikTok has intensified challenges related to intermediary responsibility, as these platforms increasingly function not only as passive conduits but also as active amplifiers of information. Existing liability regimes, primarily based on notice-and-takedown mechanisms, are found to be insufficient in addressing the scale and complexity of illegal content dissemination. Using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, this research analyzes current regulatory frameworks and identifies key gaps, particularly in terms of legal clarity, enforcement effectiveness, and the protection of fundamental rights. The study highlights the tension between safeguarding freedom of expression and ensuring protection against harmful content, noting that both under-regulation and over-regulation pose risks to citizens’ rights. Comparative insights, including developments under the Digital Services Act, demonstrate a shift toward more proactive and structured approaches to platform accountability. The study proposes a reconstructed liability framework based on the principles of proportionality, due diligence, transparency, and effective remedy. This model seeks to balance platform accountability with the protection of fundamental rights, offering a more adaptive and rights-oriented approach to digital governance. The findings contribute to the development of legal policies that align technological advancement with the protection of citizens in the digital era.

The enactment of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code marks a significant transformation in Indonesia’s criminal justice system by introducing probation and community service as principal non-custodial sanctions. These forms of punishment reflect a shift from a predominantly retributive approach toward a more rehabilitative, proportional, and restorative-oriented sentencing policy. This study aims to analyze the legal construction of probation and community service under Law No. 1 of 2023 and to assess their consistency with the principles of restorative justice. The research applies a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The legal materials consist of Law No. 1 of 2023, Law No. 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections, relevant international instruments, and scholarly literature on restorative justice and non-custodial sanctions. The materials are analyzed qualitatively through descriptive, systematic, and prescriptive legal interpretation. The findings show that probation and community service provide progressive alternatives to short-term imprisonment by supporting offender rehabilitation, maintaining family and employment relationships, reducing prison overcrowding, and encouraging accountability through supervision and socially beneficial work. However, these sanctions do not fully constitute restorative justice mechanisms because victim participation, mediation, restitution, and reconciliation remain limited. Their effectiveness depends on comprehensive implementing regulations, institutional readiness, judicial consistency, qualified supervisory personnel, inter-agency coordination, and community involvement. The study concludes that Law No. 1 of 2023 establishes an important normative foundation for restorative-oriented sentencing in Indonesia, although further institutional and procedural development is required to ensure that probation and community service effectively achieve justice, legal certainty, social benefit, and public protection.

Money politics remains one of the most significant challenges threatening the integrity of democratic elections in Indonesia because it directly affects the independence and authenticity of voters’ political choices. Although elections are constitutionally guaranteed as a mechanism for exercising popular sovereignty, the practice of providing money or material benefits to influence voters continues to undermine the principles of free, honest, and fair elections. This study aims to analyze money politics as a violation of voters’ political rights and examine the legal effectiveness of Article 523 of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections as an instrument for preventing and addressing electoral manipulation. This research employs a normative legal method using a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and analytical approach. The study examines primary legal materials, particularly the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, supported by secondary legal materials from legal literature and academic studies. The findings indicate that money politics constitutes a violation of political rights because it disrupts voter autonomy, creates unequal political competition, and prevents elections from reflecting the genuine will of citizens. Article 523 of Law Number 7 of 2017 provides an important legal framework by criminalizing the provision or promise of money and material benefits intended to influence voters. However, its implementation faces challenges, including difficulties in proving electoral crimes, limited enforcement mechanisms, and the persistence of transactional political culture. Therefore, strengthening election law enforcement, improving institutional capacity, and increasing political awareness are necessary to ensure effective protection of voters’ political rights and the realization of substantive democracy in Indonesia.
