This paper investigates the challenges and potential solutions for absentee voting among Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia during the 2024 General Election. Key issues include administrative inefficiencies, outdated voter lists, legal ambiguities, and vulnerabilities in postal voting, exacerbated by geographic and socio-economic barriers, particularly for rural and undocumented workers. Using qualitative content analysis with NVivo, the study explores how Information and Communication Technology (ICT), such as digital voter registration and blockchain voting, can enhance transparency, data accuracy, and election security. The research is novel in its focus on ICT solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by Indonesian migrants in Malaysia, a topic that has been largely overlooked. It underscores the importance of coordinated efforts among government agencies, NGOs, and technology providers for effective implementation. While ICT offers promising opportunities for reform, challenges related to infrastructure, digital literacy, and voter trust remain significant. The study provides practical recommendations for improving absentee voting, with broader implications for countries with large expatriate populations, emphasizing the need for multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure inclusivity and electoral integrity. Future recommendations should focus on addressing these challenges and maximizing the potential of ICT. Comprehensive policy reforms are needed to clarify legal ambiguities and streamline administrative processes, making voter registration and voting mechanisms more accessible and efficient. Governments should invest in robust digital infrastructure and implement digital literacy programs to empower migrant workers, especially those in rural areas or with undocumented status. Advanced technologies like blockchain should be further explored to enhance transparency, security, and data accuracy in absentee voting systems. Collaboration among government agencies, NGOs, and technology providers is essential for successful implementation. Future research should also examine the long-term impact of ICT-based voting systems on voter trust and participation, as well as conduct comparative studies with other countries facing similar challenges.

Research Originality: This study enhances the comprehension of micro-enterprise owners who have transitioned to entrepreneurship by investigating their enhanced skills and flexibility in using digital technology.Research Objectives: This study examined the factors that influence technology adoption by business owners with experience in Microenterprises (MIEs). It also explored how digital technology's adoption mediates the relationship between these factors and the firm's performance.Research Methods: This study uses quantitative Path Analysis to examine the causal links between variables that impact the performance of micro-enterprises (MIEs) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A random sample of 461 MIE owners was selected.Empirical Results: The research found that micro-enterprises with organizational readiness and strategic orientation are more likely to use digital technology than those that do not adapt to or follow modern times. The cause was the high strategic orientation of Yogyakarta's MIEs.Implications: This study's empirical implication is to assess MIE development programmes in terms of digital technology usefulness within the context of business creation and technological transfer through MIEs in Yogyakarta.JEL Classification: C12, C31, O31How to Cite:Fridayani, H.

Sustainable water management remains a global challenge, especially in ensuring equitable access to clean water and sanitation. This research utilizes the PRISMA model and bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer to identify trends, major clusters, and gaps in the literature. The novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive bibliometric approach, which not only identifies research trends but also highlights critical gaps in policy effectiveness as well as public engagement in water and sanitation management. The results show that, despite various global efforts, governments are still unable to effectively address water management challenges, especially in ensuring equitable access to clean water and sanitation. In addition, the lack of public awareness of the environment is a significant obstacle. This research contributes to the existing literature by presenting a structured analysis of scholarly contributions, identifying key research clusters, and offering policy recommendations to bridge the gap between governance and community engagement in water sustainability efforts.

This research examines the role of Collaborative Governance in encouraging technology adoption by MSMEs to accelerate the smart economy in Yogyakarta. MSMEs have a strategic role in the regional economy, but still face obstacles in digitalization. The Collaborative Governance approach was chosen because it allows active involvement of various stakeholders in supporting the digital transformation of MSMEs. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained through interviews with the DIY Cooperative and SME Agency and Bapperida, as well as analysis of relevant documents. Data analysis was conducted using interactive model techniques and Nvivo 12 Plus software. The results show that collaboration between the government, private sector, and the MSME community plays an important role in providing digital infrastructure, training, and support for programs such as SiBakul. This process takes place through three main stages: (1) identification of barriers and opportunities, (2) formulation of digitalization strategies, and (3) implementation of technology-based programs. In technology adoption, the highest indicators are perceived benefits and ease of use, indicating MSMEs' awareness of the benefits of technology. Although MSME awareness is high, technology implementation is still constrained in intention and actual use.
