This study aims to explore the role of Change Agents in developing integrity zones at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Cilacap, analyzing its contribution to strengthening governance based on good governance principles and Islamic moral values. Using a descriptive qualitative method with an exploratory case study approach, data was collected through interviews, observations, and secondary data reviews.

The findings indicate that MAN 1 Cilacap has improved transparency and accountability through good governance principles and digital-based public services, including an information system for financial reporting, attendance, and online administrative services.
