Abstract

This study examines the authority of regional governments in granting Building Approval Permits (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung / PBG) under Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation into Law. The study is motivated by the regulatory transformation from the former Building Construction Permit (Izin Mendirikan Bangunan / IMB) regime to the PBG system, which has significantly altered the distribution of authority between the central and regional governments within Indonesia’s decentralized governance framework. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis is based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials examined qualitatively to evaluate the legal position and administrative authority of regional governments in implementing the PBG system under the current regulatory framework. The findings demonstrate that regional governments continue to hold a strategic role in the administration of building approvals, particularly in relation to technical assessments, supervision, and the implementation of norms, standards, procedures, and criteria established by the central government. Nevertheless, the Job Creation regulatory framework indicates a growing centralization of authority through the integration of digital licensing mechanisms, particularly the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which has reduced the discretionary authority of regional governments in the licensing process. Furthermore, several implementation challenges remain evident, including limited human resources, inadequate technological infrastructure, and the lack of regulatory harmonization between central and regional authorities. This study concludes that the authority of regional governments in granting Building Approval Permits under Law Number 6 of 2023 remains legally recognized; however, such authority is primarily administrative and technical in nature within a more centralized regulatory structure. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, harmonizing regulations, and improving the integration of licensing systems are essential to achieving effective, efficient, and accountable public services in Indonesia’s building governance sector.

Abstract

This study examines the scope of the Banten Provincial Government’s authority in implementing population control policies within Indonesia’s decentralized governance system. The research is grounded in the principle of decentralization as regulated under Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, which establishes the distribution of governmental affairs between the central and regional governments. The study specifically addresses two main issues: first, the authority of the Banten Provincial Government in implementing population control programs; and second, the institutional balance between the National Population and Family Planning Agency (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional / BKKBN) and the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning of Banten Province (DP3AKKB) in implementing population control policies under Law Number 52 of 2009 concerning Population Development and Family Development. This research employs an empirical juridical method to examine the governmental affairs assigned to the Banten Provincial Government in the population control sector and to analyze the coordination between BKKBN and DP3AKKB as the primary institutions responsible for policy implementation. The study uses statutory analysis supported by empirical findings derived from institutional practices and policy implementation. The findings indicate that the authority of the Banten Provincial Government in population control affairs is regulated under Articles 11 and 12 of Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, which also carries financial implications under Law Number 33 of 2004 concerning Fiscal Balance between the Central Government and Regional Governments. Furthermore, the implementation of population control programs by BKKBN and DP3AKKB has not yet achieved optimal balance and effectiveness. This condition arises from the transfer of authority over family planning and population control programs from the central government to regional governments, resulting in policy disparities and variations in implementation among different regions. This study concludes that although decentralization aims to strengthen regional autonomy in population control governance, the shift in authority has created challenges related to institutional coordination, policy harmonization, and program effectiveness. Therefore, stronger intergovernmental coordination and regulatory synchronization are necessary to ensure effective and equitable implementation of population control policies across regions in Indonesia.  Keywords: Population Control; Regional Government Authority; Decentralization; Family Development; Regional Autonomy; BKKBN; Public Governance; Indonesia.

Abstract

The phenomenon of bullying among adolescents in Indonesia has shown an increasingly alarming trend, particularly when such behavior escalates into acts of violence resulting in loss of life. This condition raises complex legal issues, especially regarding the criminal liability of children as perpetrators. On the one hand, children in conflict with the law must be afforded legal protection and rehabilitation; on the other hand, the severe consequences of their actions demand law enforcement that ensures justice for victims. This study aims to analyze the regulation and application of criminal sanctions against child perpetrators of bullying resulting in death within the perspective of Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, as well as to examine its conformity with the principles of restorative justice. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal sources in the form of legislation, secondary legal sources such as legal literature and scholarly opinions, and tertiary materials as supporting references. Data collection is conducted through library research, while the analysis is carried out qualitatively using legal interpretation and legal reasoning methods. The results of the study indicate that under Law Number 11 of 2012, child perpetrators of bullying can still be held criminally liable, particularly in cases resulting in death. However, the imposition of criminal sanctions must take into account the best interests of the child and prioritize restorative justice principles. In serious criminal offenses resulting in death, diversion mechanisms cannot be optimally applied due to the limitations related to the severity of criminal sanctions. Therefore, formal criminal proceedings remain necessary while still integrating child protection principles in their implementation. In conclusion, the imposition of criminal sanctions against child perpetrators of bullying resulting in death is necessary for the enforcement of the law; however, it must be carried out proportionally without disregarding restorative justice principles. A balance is required between protecting the child offender and ensuring justice for the victim to achieve fair and humane legal objectives.  Keywords: Bullying, Child Offender, Criminal Liability, Restorative Justice, Juvenile Criminal Justice System

Abstract

The Indonesian National Police (Polri) plays a strategic role in maintaining public order, enforcing the law, and delivering protection and public services as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law No. 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police. Professionalism within the police institution constitutes a fundamental prerequisite for fulfilling these constitutional functions, particularly in the jurisdiction of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya), which faces highly complex legal and socio-political challenges. This study examines (1) the development of human resources (HR) within Polda Metro Jaya in fostering police professionalism and (2) the role of law enforcement processes in strengthening institutional HR capacity to enhance professional standards. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze regulatory frameworks, institutional policies, and professional ethics standards governing police conduct. The findings indicate that human resource development represents a critical pillar in advancing institutional professionalism, improving public service quality, and reinforcing public trust. Although adequate legal foundations and internal regulatory mechanisms are in place, the implementation of HR development at Polda Metro Jaya continues to face structural and cultural challenges. These include inconsistencies in ethical enforcement, limitations in professional capacity building, and resistance to organizational cultural transformation. This study argues that sustainable and integrity-based HR reform is essential to strengthening police professionalism and institutional legitimacy. The research contributes to the discourse on police reform by emphasizing the centrality of normative governance, ethical accountability, and organizational culture in achieving a professional and publicly trusted law enforcement institution.
