This research aims to analyze the impact of village development on sustainable employment in West Seram District, focusing on strategies implemented to improve the local economy and reduce community dependence on seasonal sectors. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used in this research, involving in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, such as village heads, local business actors, and village communities. In addition, secondary data from government reports and academic literature were used to enrich the analysis. The results show that village development integrated with entrepreneurial skills development and local resource management can create more stable and sustainable employment. However, this study also found several constraints, particularly limited infrastructure and access to technology. These limitations pose a major challenge in achieving sustainable employment in rural areas. The implications of these findings suggest the importance of policies that support community capacity building and sustainable infrastructure investment to facilitate economic growth in villages. This research provides insights for policymakers and village development practitioners in designing more effective strategies for sustainable employment in rural areas.

Investment is a financial strategy chosen by individuals to preserve and grow wealth. In recent years, investment activity in Indonesia has increased amid a downward trend in inflation. This reflects a shift in financial behaviour, where inflation is no longer seen solely as a threat but also as a driver for moving from saving to investing. As people become aware of inflation’s impact on purchasing power, they increasingly allocate funds to more profitable investment instruments. This study uses a behavioural finance approach and macroeconomic data from 2019 to 2024 to illustrate the pattern. The analysis shows that declining inflation, along with rising financial literacy, has significantly contributed to investment growth.

Introduction: Digital transformation in the agricultural sector has become an urgent need to increase efficiency and productivity, especially in tropical regions that are rich in natural resources but face challenges in adopting technology. Purposed: To analyze the socio-economic factors influencing the adoption of precision agricultural technology by farmers in tropical agro-ecological areas. Research method: A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design was used in this study, with a sample consisting of crop farmers selected randomly. The independent variables analyzed include age, education, income, land area, access to credit, and participation in farmer groups, while the dependent variable is the level of adoption of precision technology. Results: Logistic regression showed that education, income, access to credit, and participation in farmer groups have a significant impact on the adoption of precision technology. In contrast, land area did not show a significant effect on technology adoption. Access to credit and education had a very strong influence on the adoption decision, followed by income and participation in farmer groups. This study suggests the need for improving access to education, providing adequate financing schemes, and empowering farmer groups to enhance the adoption of precision agricultural technology in tropical areas. Thus, policies supporting precision agriculture technology are expected to improve productivity and sustainability in the region.

The multi-dimensional nature of the digital economy is such that there is a need to develop new methodologies to overcome the limitations of existing methods of measuring regional digital economy performance beyond composite indicators. The existing methods of benchmarking, which are based on compensatory aggregation, may mask structural problems in key governance areas. The research aims to develop an integrated multi-criteria decision support system to evaluate regional digital economy performance by applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the geometric mean method for determining the weight of each criterion and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking. The quantitative approach to multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has been used to develop the decision support system. The results of the research indicate that the digital economy’s cybersecurity and digital trust are the most influential factors in determining digital economy performance. The results of the TOPSIS analysis indicate that there is a clear stratification of digital economy performance across regions, with the best-performing regions having well-developed digital infrastructure, human capital readiness, and cybersecurity. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicate that the ranking of digital economy performance is robust across all scenarios. The research contributes to theory by providing a new approach to measuring digital economy performance. The research contributes to the practical applications of digital economy research by providing an integrated approach to decision support. The research contributes to the methodological approach to multi-criteria decision-making by providing an integrated approach to decision support. The research contributes to the practical applications of digital economy research by providing an integrated approach to decision support.
