Abstract

Data from the Makassar City Education Office in 2022 reported approximately 17,000 school dropouts. This phenomenon largely stems from low-income families, where children worked to support household finances. The high dropout rate has contributed to increasing unemployment and the declining competitiveness of human resources. In addition, school dropouts were more vulnerable to various social problems such as violence, crime, and child exploitation. This study aimed to analyze the implementation strategies for addressing school dropouts in Makassar City, including the supporting and inhibiting factors. This is a qualitative study with a case study approach in Education Office of Makassar during January–March 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine informants, observations, and document analysis. The study found that dropout management strategies have been carried out through cross-sectoral collaboration involving the government, private sector, and community stakeholders. However, heavy workloads and limited institutional support remain major challenges. Optimization efforts included the implementation of equivalency programs for reintegration into formal schools, strengthening an integrated database system, multi-stakeholder approaches, and the provision of flexible alternative education. This study recommends simplifying procedures, establishing regular cross-sectoral coordination forums, and conducting periodic evaluations of resource allocation to ensure the effectiveness of school dropout management programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine effective communication and the obstacles to building effective communication between interview officers and passport applicants at the Makassar Class I Special Immigration Office. It used a qualitative approach and involved 10 informants, consisting of 6 passport applicants and 4 photo and interview officers. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, triangulation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that effective communication during the passport interview process was reflected in several practices. Officers delivered questions clearly, in detail, coherently, and in a friendly manner. They were also highly informative and applied the 5S principles, namely smile, greet, say hello, polite, and courteous. In addition, officers explained the legal basis and passport processing procedures according to standard operating procedures, while also educating applicants about passport storage and its functions. Effective communication was further seen in the provision of clear explanations regarding the basis of interview questions and in the officers’ ability to build understanding, influence emotions positively, and encourage good attitudes through clear, simple, and friendly language. The study also found several obstacles to effective communication, including applicants who were not accustomed to speaking Indonesian, differences in regional languages, limited public knowledge about immigration, the use of formal and unfamiliar immigration terms, insufficient information about passport requirements, differences in applicant backgrounds, and limited understanding of the passport application process.

Abstract

Maritime safety is a fundamental element in supporting secure, efficient, and sustainable sea transportation, particularly in strategic maritime regions such as Makassar. This study aims to analyze the effect of SBNP (Sarana Bantu Navigasi Pelayaran) management and employee performance on maritime safety at the District of Navigation Type A Class I Makassar. The research adopts a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 100 respondents, with instruments measured through a Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using validity tests, reliability tests, multiple linear regression analysis, partial tests (t-test), simultaneous tests (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the validity and reliability tests confirm that all research instruments are valid and reliable, indicating strong internal consistency. The partial regression analysis reveals that SBNP management does not have a statistically significant effect on maritime safety, suggesting that the mere availability and procedural management of navigational aids are insufficient to directly enhance safety outcomes. In contrast, employee performance shows a positive and highly significant influence on maritime safety, highlighting the critical role of human resources in ensuring the effective operation, maintenance, and responsiveness of navigational systems. Simultaneously, the F-test results indicate that SBNP management and employee performance together have a significant effect on maritime safety. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination demonstrates that 94.2% of the variation in maritime safety can be explained by the combined influence of SBNP management and employee performance, while the remaining 5.8% is affected by other factors outside the model.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the export promotion strategies of packaged food products implemented by micro enterprises (UMK) in Nunukan Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. The data sources consisted of primary data obtained directly from micro entrepreneurs and technical officials, as well as secondary data from relevant policy documents. The findings reveal that the export promotion strategies applied by UMK comprise four main aspects: (1) export certification and licensing, (2) branding and product packaging enhancement, (3) training and capacity building for UMK actors, and (4) cross-border strategic partnerships. Halal certification, distribution permits from BPOM, and export documents such as the Certificate of Origin serve as the main foundations for facilitating export processes. In the aspect of branding, attractive packaging design, strong brand identity, and alignment with Malaysian consumer preferences have proven to enhance product competitiveness. Training in digital marketing, export regulation comprehension, and packaging design plays a vital role in improving the professionalism of UMK actors. Additionally, partnerships with local Malaysian distributors, participation in international trade exhibitions, and collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) and Trade Attachés have expanded market access and strengthened cross-border business networks. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited access to international marketing networks, high promotion and logistics costs, and complex export regulations remain significant obstacles. Local government efforts through certification facilitation, integrated training, and the establishment of trade partnerships have been proven to play a crucial role in strengthening UMK export promotion strategies.
