Abstract

 Major infrastructure development in developing countries often focuses on improving national connectivity and economic growth, but often ignores the social impact on local communities. Projects such as expressways or railway lines can break vital links between regions and increase accessibility inequalities, hinder mobility and exacerbate socio-economic inequalities. In addition, land acquisition for large projects often harms farmers and micro entrepreneurs who lose their livelihoods without adequate employment solutions. These projects also ignore local needs, such as access to essential public facilities. This inequality is exacerbated by a lack of inclusive planning, where local communities are not involved in the decision-making process. As a result, although large infrastructure development can improve the macroeconomy, its positive impact is not felt by society at the micro level. This study uses a qualitative approach with case studies to explore the impact of infrastructure development on local community access. Through interviews, field observations, and document analysis, this study aims to provide an in-depth picture of social inequalities that arise due to the dominance of large projects without considering the interests of local communities. More inclusive planning and community participation are needed to ensure sustainable and equitable development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial literacy, financial self-efficacy, and risky online credit behaviour among college students in Batam City. The issue of online consumer credit for students has garnered considerable academic attention; however, the mechanisms linking financial literacy to risky credit behaviour are not yet fully understood. A sample of 190 students in Batam City was randomly selected as study respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-PLS analysis. The findings reveal that students' financial literacy has a positive and significant impact on risky credit behaviour, with subjective financial literacy exerting a stronger influence than objective financial literacy. Additionally, financial literacy positively affects financial self-efficacy. The study also shows that financial self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between financial literacy and risky credit behaviour. These findings hold implications for policy recommendations aimed at improving financial literacy and enhancing students' understanding of sound financial management practices.

Abstract

Tourism and travel is the largest industry in the world with hotels as a key factor in enjoying a holiday. As the cornerstone of tourism, the hotel industry continues to develop to meet increasingly high customer expectations. The application of high technology is the key to competition between hotels, with several hotels moving towards an innovative and efficient "smart hotel" concept. This research explores the hotel industry in Batam as a unique tourism destination and industrial center. The main focus includes analyzing the level of technology adoption in Batam hotels, identifying trends and factors driving the “smart hotel” concept, and developing expert system models to improve the tourist experience. By combining the two methods of Forward Chaining and Certainty Factors in an Expert System, it is hoped that the results of this research can provide important insights regarding the development of the hotel industry in Batam and the positive impact of technology in improving the quality of service to travelers.

Abstract

This research analyzes the implementation of operational management in PT Kalbe Farma Tbk one of a leading pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia through the strategic location selection. Using a qualitative description approach and secondary data, this study provides a description of the Kalbe Farma’s holistic operational practice, such as integration of supply chain, human resources development, technologies. The company excels in strategic location planning, locating production and distribution centers near transportation nodes and population centers with strong market concentrations to enhance efficiency and minimize the cost of logistics. Yet, the steep rise in land prices and congestion in infrastructure etc, continue to remain as challenges. Kalbe tackles these by using digital inventory systems and strengthening partnerships with the public sector. The results illustrate that there are five key success factors for location strategy: market access, supply chain management, qualified labor force, technological assimilation, and environmentalism. Secondly, in its corporate transformation, Kalbe Farma uses a hub-and-spoke approach to optimize service location and national distribution radii. The strategic operation management such as location planning of Kalbe Farma is able to help to keep the competitive position and satisfy their customer throughout Indonesia. The following findings would provide a benchmark, which would then be of use to other manufacturing and distribution-based companies on how to shape their special rational strategies.
