The United Nation projects that around 55% of the world's people live in urban areas. Innovation, creativity and development planning are needed to accommodate people's needs due to the complexity of the city. In this context, Smart City is the answer in dealing with changes in urbanization trends in big cities. The Smart City concept positions the city as an ecosystem of many connected subsystems in supporting the city to remain sustainable (sustainable cities). Smart City is an alternative problem solving to accommodate the need for fast service along with the increasing population density of Medan City which currently reaches 9,283 people/km² in 2022 with a growth rate of 9-10% per year. This study aims to contribute to the lack of empirical studies by analyzing the influence of Smart Governance factors on Quality of Life in the context of Smart City in Medan City, Indonesia.

This research was conducted in the city of Medan using a quantitative correlation approach with SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis techniques operated through the AMOS program. Sampling using nonprobabilistic sampling with random sampling. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the variables Transparency (TRANS) and Collaboration (COL) have a positive effect on Quality of Life with a CR value of 3.821 respectively; -3.475; which is greater than ±1.96 and the probability is smaller than 0.05. Thus it can be concluded that the two hypotheses can be accepted

Abstract

This study examines the role of the All-Indonesia Workers’ Union (SPSI) in promoting workers’ welfare in Padang Hilir District, Tebing Tinggi City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores how SPSI provides legal protection, advocates workers’ rights, and strengthens workers’ bargaining power in negotiations with employers. Informants were selected through purposive sampling and included SPSI leaders, the Chairperson of the Plant-Level Union (PUK), and local workers. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review. The findings indicate that SPSI Tebing Tinggi City has effectively fulfilled its role in protecting and defending workers’ rights. The union guarantees freedom of association, safeguards workers’ rights to fair wages, and encourages the creation of healthy and safe working environments. SPSI also actively negotiates with companies to improve wages, workers’ welfare, and employment agreements that prioritize workers’ interests. Additionally, SPSI serves as a channel for workers’ aspirations and complaints. However, the study finds that SPSI has not yet been able to provide systematic training or skills development programs for its members.
