This study aims to examine the relationship between decentralization and the effectiveness of regional government in Indonesia through a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Decentralization implemented after the reform through regional autonomy policies has given broad authority to regional governments to regulate their own household affairs. Although it is expected to improve the quality of public services and locally-based development, its implementation shows mixed results. This study analyzes various scientific sources in the form of journals, academic books, policy reports, and regulations to identify patterns of success and challenges in the implementation of regional autonomy. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of regional government is greatly influenced by institutional capacity, human resource competence, regional head leadership, community participation, and the ongoing monitoring system. Some regions are able to utilize autonomy to innovate governance, but most still face structural and cultural obstacles. In addition, fiscal dependence on the central government and weak coordination between institutions are obstacles to achieving effectiveness. Therefore, strengthening regional capacity and implementing an asymmetric decentralization model are important to realize effective, accountable, and participatory governance in the era of regional autonomy.

This study examines how the politics of fear is shaped and exploited through threat narratives in state security policy. Using a qualitative approach and literature study methods, this study analyzes the dynamics of discourse used by the state to legitimize repressive security measures. Threat narratives, discursively constructed by state actors and amplified by the media, play a central role in shaping public perceptions of imminent danger. The resulting collective fear allows the state to justify enacting extraordinary policies, even when there is no real, proportionate threat. Within the framework of securitization and state of exception theories, security policy is interpreted as a response to politically defined, rather than objective, threats. As a result, the space for public participation is narrowed, civil rights are diminished, and the rule of law is threatened. This study emphasizes that security cannot be built on manipulative constructs of fear but must be grounded in transparency, justice, and respect for democratic principles. Critique of the politics of fear is crucial to ensure that security policy does not deviate from the framework of a democratic and civilized state based on the rule of law.

This study aims to examine the development of democracy in developing countries through a qualitative approach based on literature. Democracy in developing countries exhibits diverse dynamics, ranging from institutional progress to decline due to covert authoritarian practices. By reviewing various scientific sources such as academic journals, international agency reports, and reference books, this study presents a thematic synthesis of factors influencing the democratization process. The results indicate that the weakness of political institutions, elite dominance, and socio-economic inequality are the main obstacles to democratic consolidation. However, there is also a significant role for non-state actors such as civil society organizations and the media in promoting political openness and accountability. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the importance of a contextual, non-universal theoretical approach in understanding democratic practices in developing countries. These findings reinforce the urgency of developing a more inclusive, adaptive, and local-reality-based democratic framework. Thus, this literature study not only provides theoretical contributions to the realm of political science and governance but can also serve as a reference for formulating more sustainable policies to strengthen democracy in developing countries.

Public places have the potential to become places for disease transmission and environmental pollution, for example, tourist spots. Muaro Jambi Temple is one of the cultural heritage complexes of the largest Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in Southeast Asia. It is also the most visited tourist spot in Muaro Jambi Regency. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of sanitation at the Muaro Jambi Temple tourist area. The method used in this research is qualitative research with an evaluation approach. There were 8 informants in this study who were taken by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out by means of in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. Data analysis with content analysis method. The validity test of the research was carried out using the triangulation method. The results showed that the human resources of the Jambi Kecil health center had not met the standards, the cleaning staff or caretakers at the temple were sufficient in quantity but had not been assigned specifically to implement standardization of sanitation for tourist attractions. Funds for the implementation of the program from the Public health center come from BOK, while the tourism management has not prepared funds for implementing sanitation. The facilities and infrastructure of the Public health center are adequate, but the sanitation facilities in the temples are not up to standard. There is no policy that regulates STTU. Examination and assessment of sanitation in the temple had never been done before. When a sanitary inspection was carried out, it was found that the Muaro Jambi temple did not meet health requirements, namely 42.63%. It is hoped that the regional government will make regional regulations regarding the application of STTU and tourism managers will start implementing standardization of sanitation as a necessity. Public places can potentially become places for disease transmission and environmental pollution, for example, tourist spots. Muaro Jambi Temple is one of the cultural heritage complexes of the largest Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in Southeast Asia. It is also the most visited tourist spot in Muaro Jambi Regency.

Background: Evaluation of cross-sectoral control of refillable drinking water depot is a strategic role in protecting consumers to obtain standardized drinking water quality. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors in the control and management of refillable drinking water depot in the working area of the Muaro Jambi District Health Center. Methods: The method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, which is to understand the phenomenon of the research subject holistically. Results: The results showed that the evaluation conducted by the health office was not optimal, most of the refillable drinking water depots in the Puskesmas working area had not been inspected. This is influenced by limited human resources in monitoring and evaluating each refillable drinking water depot, lack of socialization and education to refillable drinking water depot businesses and the community regarding the importance of consuming quality-assured drinking water, and especially the lack of awareness of refillable drinking water depot businesses to pro-actively meet drinking water quality standards. Conclusion: The lack of optimal cross-sectoral control of refillable drinking water depots is influenced by human resources and socialization and education programs, along with community awareness. It is expected that there will be more intensive integration between the health center, health office, and village officials who play a role in monitoring and evaluating the management of refillable drinking water depot.

The development of information technology has changed the way people conduct transactions, especially in electronic commerce (e-commerce). Although online transactions provide convenience, various legal issues arise related to consumer protection, such as fraud, nonconforming goods, and difficulties in returning goods. This study aims to analyze legal protection for consumers in online transactions in Indonesia based on applicable laws and regulations, as well as to identify the challenges faced and solutions that can be applied. The research method used is qualitative with a normative legal approach. The results of the study show that although there are several regulations such as the Consumer Protection Law and the ITE Law, implementation in the field is still weak, especially in terms of law enforcement and consumer awareness. Synergy is needed between the government, business actors, and consumers to create a safe and fair ecommerce ecosystem. This article recommends improving regulations and increasing legal education and literacy for the community.

Corruption is a crucial problem that hampers national development and undermines public trust in the government. This article discusses the role of law in combating corruption in Indonesia. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores the effectiveness of legal instruments, institutions, and challenges in their implementation. Law has a strategic function as a tool of social control and a repressive mechanism to provide a deterrent effect to perpetrators of corruption. However, bureaucratic complexity, weak law enforcement, and a permissive culture towards corruption are still major obstacles. The discussion of the article focuses on the role of anti-corruption laws, law enforcement institutions such as the KPK, and the influence of legal reform in strengthening integrity and accountability. This study concludes that although there has been progress in legal instruments and institutions, the role of law has not been maximized without political commitment and public participation. Therefore, collaboration between legal actors and civil society elements is crucial to creating an effective anti-corruption system.

Social media has become an integral part of adolescents' lives in the digital era. The use of platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp influences the way adolescents interact, form self-identities, and understand social norms. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in shaping adolescents' social behavior, using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and participant observation of 20 adolescents in Jambi City. The results showed that social media has positive impacts, such as expanding social networks and increasing self-confidence. However, negative impacts were also identified, including increased risk of cyberbullying, social pressure, and decreased direct social interaction. These findings emphasize the importance of digital literacy and the active role of parents and educators in guiding adolescents to use social media wisely.

In the era of increasingly rapid urbanization, the dynamics of social interaction between residents in urban environments have undergone various significant changes. This study aims to analyze the forms, influencing factors, and challenges and opportunities in social interaction between city residents. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques and participant observation, this study reveals that social interaction in urban environments is characterized by diverse social backgrounds, a fast pace of life, and limitations of space and time. The findings show two main tendencies: increasing individualism and the formation of micro-communities based on common interests. Obstacles such as social inequality, distrust between residents, and lack of public space also limit the intensity of social interaction. However, social media and online communities have become new spaces that expand the forms of interaction between residents. This study recommends the need to strengthen inclusive and locally-based social interaction spaces in urban environments to strengthen the social cohesion of urban communities.
