Abstract

This study explores public sentiment toward Indonesia’s new digital tax administration system, known as Coretax, by analyzing conversation among tax-savvy users in a WhatsApp Group. Public sentiment was analyzed by examining more than 53,000 messages using a lexicon-based approach to classify them into positive, negative or neutral categories. The findings reveal that negative sentiment dominates (39%), indicating frequent technical issues, procedural confusion, and access problems during Coretax’s early implementation phase in 2025. However, neutral (31.5%) and positive (29.5%) messages show that users also shared information and expressed appreciation, especially during successful interactions. Spikes in communication occurred during major events such as webinars and statutory tax filing deadlines. This study provides a novelty using real-time peer-to-peer digital conversations to capture how knowledgeable users experience tax digitalization in its earliest months. The findings suggest that user-oriented design, clearer guidance, and responsive communication are essential for improving user experience in digital tax reforms.

Abstract

Geopark or the established UNESCO Global Geopark (UGG), such as Toba Caldera, Batur, or Ciletuh, in fact, will stimulate local economic development, such as through ecotourism, by monetizing the potential of their geo-diversity, bio-diversity, and local culture. It is argued that the ecotourism model that involving the local community has great potential in supporting the success of Geopark's sustainability. This study contributes as the best practice and guidance in managing the current UGG or developing the next UGG. Hence, this study aims to explore and describe the implementation of Geopark management following a community-based ecotourism model. Three cases study were carried out in UGG Batur, Ciletuh, and Toba Caldera.  Some aspects were studied, including key stakeholders and their roles, mapping community involvement, and implementation of the CBE in managing the UGG. Focus group discussions were done with resource persons from five main sectors, namely academics, government, community, entrepreneurs, and the media. The results show that in most cases, the Geopark sites belong to the community or managed by the community, which is considered as a good condition for stimulating the CBE model. Applying the CBE model effectively requires key actors in the community with soft and hard skill competencies. Keywords: Batur Lake Bali, Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu West Java, Community-based ecotourism, Community involvement, Geopark, Toba Caldera North Sumatera.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mediating role of service quality in the relationship between relational and spiritual values and member satisfaction in the mobile collection service of KSP CU Bina Danarta Palembang.  This quantitative research employed a survey of 265 traditional market traders in Palembang (61.1% were females, aged 41-50 years). Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires using purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS to test causal and mediating effects.  The results indicate that relational value and service quality have a positive and significant effect on satisfaction. However, a unique phenomenon of full mediation was identified: spiritual values (staff honesty and integrity) generate satisfaction only when manifested through professional, tangible service quality. For pragmatic market traders, physical evidence (tangibles) serves as the primary signal of security in transactions.  The implications of this study are that management should modernize digital transaction tools and implement a standard Operating Procedure (SLA) to transform abstract values into measurable and credible service performance.

Abstract

Strengthening Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is crucial for reducing economic disparities in rural areas and promoting sustainable community development. While previous studies have primarily focused on financial structures and regulatory frameworks, this research adopts a participatory approach that actively engages local stakeholders in capacity-building efforts. Using BUMDes Mekarsari in Garut Regency as a case study, the study examines how participatory strengthening programs enhance the socio-economic resilience of rural communities. Employing qualitative methods—including in-depth interviews and field observations—it identifies key factors influencing BUMDes effectiveness, such as continuous training, institutional collaboration, and improved access to finance. The findings reveal that a participatory model not only fosters community engagement but also improves business sustainability and expands economic opportunities. In particular, the involvement of women and local artisans demonstrates the program’s inclusivity and potential for social transformation. Moreover, the integration of digital marketing strategies has opened new market access, further supporting rural entrepreneurship. To maximize practical impact, the study offers concrete policy recommendations, including strengthening institutional support for BUMDes, fostering multi-sector partnerships, and enhancing financial accessibility through local and national policies. These insights contribute to a more inclusive framework for rural economic empowerment, providing policymakers with a strategic foundation for designing community-driven BUMDes programs that ensure their long-term success as catalysts for local development.
