Abstract

Krecek Hamlet is a Buddhist tourism village that plays an important role in promoting and preserving the noble values of Borobudur Temple. This research aims to analyze the transformation of the cultural capital of Borobudur Temple and the habitus of the people of Krecek Hamlet through the analysis of Pierre Bourdieu's theory. The method used in this research is a case study. The research results stated that Borobudur Temple as a representation of Buddhist teachings is a cultural capital. Borobudur cultural capital has a role in shaping the character and cultural identity of the people of Krecek Hamlet. The habits formed include religious habitus, togetherness, friendliness and tolerance, simplicity, respect for tradition, respect for nature, as well as traditional and spiritual leadership.  The habitus of the people of Krecek Hamlet is the result of social interaction. The people of Krecek Hamlet live based on socio-cultural structures and adhere to religious values and traditional norms. The transformation of Borobudur's symbolic capital into the habitus of the people of Krecek Hamlet is performed through the process of reproducing religious culture and local wisdom. This research has many shortcomings, thus it needs to be studied more deeply, especially regarding social media and the digitization of the culture of Buddhists in Krecek Hamlet in preserving religious values and promoting Buddhist tourism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the SEMESTA application policy in order to improve administrative efficiency in Ogan Ilir Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques using interviews, observation and documentation. The technique of determining informants is purposive sampling and snowball sampling analysis. The data analysis technique uses descriptive data analysis by following the six stages of qualitative analysis according to Creswell. This research uses Michael Howlett's Multiple Streams policy implementation theory, which includes four streams, namely the problem stream, policy stream, political stream, and program stream. Findings based on interviews, observations, and official documents show that the implementation of the SEMESTA application policy is still not optimal. Based on the analysis, problem flow and political flow are the main drivers of the policy, while when viewed from the program flow analysis, the implementation of the SEMESTA application policy faces challenges such as employee resistance to using fake GPS applications, the absence of specific regulations governing the SEMESTA application, and limited technological infrastructure, especially related to internet signals in certain areas. This study recommends increasing training and socialization, infrastructure, making special regulations for the SEMESTA application and continuous evaluation to support the sustainability of the SEMESTA policy.

Abstract

This study aims to identify how the Public Relations (PR) team of LLDIKTI Region III designs strategies to improve public services in the digitalization era by launching the SIL@T application. This research employs the theory of Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry (1998), which consists of five indicators that serve as the foundation for developing service quality improvement strategies: Tangibles (physical form), Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method by conducting direct observations of the occurring phenomena. The findings indicate that LLDIKTI Region III has met the five indicators of service quality improvement, both in terms of infrastructure and direct services, as well as technology-based services through the launch of the SIL@T application. Moreover, the services provided, whether through face-to-face interactions or the SIL@T application, have received positive feedback from users.

Abstract

The Extended Mind concept, as introduced in The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul, challenges the traditional view that cognition is solely confined to the brain. This book argues that human thinking extends beyond neural processes, incorporating the body, environment, social interactions, and technology. By understanding these external cognitive factors, individuals and organizations can optimize learning, problem-solving, and productivity. This article reviews the key ideas of the book, highlighting its relevance to education, the workplace, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) as a cognitive extension. The first major aspect, thinking with the body, demonstrates that gestures, movement, and physical interaction enhance cognitive performance, creativity, and problem-solving. In education, incorporating physical movement into learning activities improves comprehension, while in the workplace, structured movement fosters innovation. The second aspect, utilizing space and environment, emphasizes the impact of well-designed physical spaces on cognitive efficiency. Proper lighting, workspace flexibility, and architectural elements influence focus, productivity, and collaboration. The third aspect, social interaction as a thinking tool, underscores how collaboration and discussion accelerate information processing and critical thinking. Work environments that promote interaction enhance decision-making and employee satisfaction. Finally, integrating technology in cognitive systems explores AI's role in augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. AI can streamline data analysis and decision-making but must be used as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for human cognition. The book's insights offer valuable recommendations for education and industry. Educational institutions should integrate embodied learning techniques and create interactive learning environments. Organizations should design workspaces that enhance cognitive efficiency and balance AI integration with human expertise. Ultimately, The Extended Mind is a compelling read for educators, professionals, and researchers seeking to understand and enhance human cognition. Its synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and real-world applications makes it an essential resource in the modern era of AI and digital transformation.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of preservation in Kampung Tugu as a Cultural Heritage Area by the North Jakarta City Administration Cultural Sub-Department. The purpose of this study is to determine how the North Jakarta City Administration Cultural Sub-Department strives for the effectiveness of preservation in the Kampung Tugu area which is experiencing degradation. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method by analyzing data using the theory of effectiveness with 5 appropriate indicators, namely Appropriate Policy, Appropriate Implementation, Appropriate Target, Appropriate Environment, and Appropriate Process. This study found that preservation in this area based on Law Number 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage has not been effective due to degradation in the area and other conflicting policies also apply in the same area, namely the Regulation of the Governor of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province Number 31 of 2022 concerning the Detailed Spatial Planning Plan for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province. With the findings in this study, it can be used as evaluation material for policy makers and policy implementers in order to determine the status of Kampung Tugu which can then develop this area effectively according to the specified policy. However, this research has not been able to provide the views of policy makers regarding the preservation problems experienced by Kampung Tugu so that further research can add new perspectives from policy makers regarding the problems that occur in Kampung Tugu.

Abstract

This study examines the political processes undertaken by local political actors in advocating for Kampung Budaya Jalawastu to be recognized as a Traditional Village in Brebes Regency. It is particularly interesting to explore how local political elites act as decision-makers in addressing administrative, cultural, and political issues while balancing their respective interests. Kampung Budaya Jalawastu is the only hamlet proposed as a Traditional Village in Brebes Regency. The research was conducted over two months (November–December) using a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed descriptively and validated through source and technique triangulation. This study employs elite theory as its analytical framework. The results show that: (1) Local political actors serving as key decision-makers include the Traditional Leader, the Council of Elders, the Village Secretary of Ciseureuh, the Village Head of Ciseureuh, the Head of the Cultural Division at the Brebes Regency Culture and Tourism Office, and the Regent of Brebes. Each actor utilizes their power based on individual interests. (2) Collaboration among the Traditional Leader, the Ciseureuh Village Government, and the Brebes Regency Government has been productive. (3) Advocacy efforts initiated by the Traditional Leader serve as a strategy to maintain their reputation and strengthen ties with the Brebes Regency Government. (4) The advocacy process has significant economic and autonomy implications for the community. This study can inform policies on the development of Traditional Villages, particularly in managing customary forests and communal lands for indigenous communities. It also serves as a reference for formulating Traditional Village governance policies rooted in local wisdom values.

Abstract

Waste generation is an inevitable consequence of human activity and remains a pressing issue, particularly in urban areas. Rapid increases in waste volume, combined with inadequate infrastructure and ineffective disposal systems, have led to serious environmental and public health concerns. Community-based waste management strategies, such as waste banks, offer sustainable alternatives by integrating recycling programs, financial incentives, and citizen engagement. This study explores the roles and challenges of Bank Sampah Teratai (BS Teratai), a community-led waste bank in Pondok Pucung, South Tangerang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the research highlights BS Teratai’s contributions in raising environmental awareness, promoting economic empowerment through waste-based savings, and strengthening social cohesion. Verbatim quotes from participants illustrate how the initiative transforms waste from a burden into a valuable community asset. However, persistent challenges remain, including inconsistent community participation, limited storage capacity, unstable recyclable market prices, and the absence of proper facilities for hazardous and electronic waste. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted community involvement, exposing the vulnerability of grassroots efforts. This study emphasizes that waste banks can function not only as waste reduction tools but also as platforms for empowerment and behavioral change. The BS Teratai case offers valuable insights for replicating sustainable, community-based waste management models in other urban settings.

Abstract

A donor relationship with civil society organizations (CSOs) is a relationship that is characterized by dependence caused by unequal power relations. This research aims to explore the importance of solidarity in the context of the sustainability of the Indonesian women's movement in the midst of this problem. Unlike previous studies, this study used the practice of vigilant eco-love in analyzing solidarity within the women's movement. In its approach, this study used a reflective thematic analysis method that emphasized themes in qualitative data obtained through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Interview participants were four figures who were significantly involved in the women's movement in Indonesia. This study identifies three themes: 1) donor neo-colonialism within CSO in Indonesia, 2) the vulnerability of CSO workers in sustainability issues, and 3) the importance of vigilant eco-love for sustainable women's movements. The study argues that the vigilant eco-love practice is the key to answering questions regarding the sustainability of the women's movement and the vulnerability of workers amidst the attack of donor neoliberal colonization.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development of research and scientific publications related to strategies to improve the quality of human resources in Indonesian government administration. This research uses the Sytematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by following the PRISMA protocol and analyzing 64 relevant scientific articles from the Dimension database, published in 2013-2024. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to identify topic clusters, related concepts. As well as research trends. The results revealed that there are five main clusters that are dominant and relevant in the development of human resources for government officials, namely: education, HR management, technology, digital literacy, bureaucratic reform, and public service innovation. The education cluster emerged as the most dominant theme, showing the importance of literacy and continuous training in supporting the digital transformation of the bureaucracy. This research makes a significant contribution to the development of ASN capacity building policies through a data-based approach and scientific trends. In addition, these findings also serve as a strategic reference in strengthening HR management systems and technology-based governance. The limitation of this study lies in the data source that only comes from the data dimension, so that the coverage of the literature does not represent the whole of various relevant sources. Therefore, future studies are advised to combine data from various reputable databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO for more comprehensive results.
