Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the performance of village apparatus in the implementation of public services in Salut Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the performance of village apparatus in general has gone well, especially in terms of discipline, work spirit, and the ability to complete administrative service tasks. The use of Village Information System (SID) technology makes a significant contribution to service efficiency, although there are still technical obstacles such as power outages and limited infrastructure. Efforts to improve performance are carried out through regular coordination meetings, technical guidance training (BIMTEK), and periodic evaluations. The obstacles faced include limited human resources, double workload, and disagreement with community expectations. This study concludes the need to increase the capacity of apparatus and improve technological infrastructure to support optimal public services at the village level

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the guarantee of the right to vote for individuals who marry underage from a constitutional perspective with the principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali approach. Normative conflicts occur between the Election Law, the Child Protection Law, the Marriage Law, and the Civil Registration Law. Based on this principle, special laws (lex specialis) can override general laws (lex generalis). Thus, married minors should be able to exercise their right to vote because the Election Law is special in the implementation of elections. This study uses the homo sacer theory of Giorgio Agamben. In this theory, individuals under the age of 17 who marry are considered "human beings without protection" because they do not acquire constitutional rights. They are abandoned by the state even though they are still recognized as part of the state. Agamben called Homo Sacer a group that lost its political rights but remained an object of power without legal protection. This study uses a qualitative method, collecting primary data through interviews and secondary data from documentation. Data analysis was carried out with an interactive model: collection, reduction, presentation of data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that individuals who marry underage do not get the right to vote because the state fails to resolve the conflict of norms. This condition causes them to slip into the "identity vacuum" as homo sacer, abandoned due to the state's inability to maintain sovereignty and protect the constitutional rights of its citizens.

Abstract

This study analyzes the quality of excellent service of front liner officers of Patut Patuh Patju Hospital, West Lombok, through an interpersonal communication approach. The background is public complaints about the friendliness, empathy, and responsiveness of officers who are considered weak and lower the image of the hospital. Using a qualitative method with Goffman's dramaturgy theory and interaction openness framework, data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of six officers and ten selected visitors. Results show that the success of the service is determined by openness, empathy, clarity of message, and the ability to listen actively, but consistency is still low because some officers are less skilled at communicating, using the wrong body language, or slow to respond. The family values of West Lombok shape the expectations of patients, demanding that officers understand the local culture in addition to work procedures. Training, supervision, and motivation have a significant effect on improving the quality of service. This study recommends communication standards based on local wisdom and regular training to strengthen service excellence and satisfaction. These findings are relevant for the human resources policy of regional hospitals in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the role of environmental politics in the implementation of waste management by the West Lampung Regency Environmental Agency (DLH). The volume of waste that reaches around 120 tonnes per day, with only 70% effectively managed, presents a critical governance challenge. Using Piers Blaikie's theory of Political Ecology, this qualitative field research was conducted through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation analysis. The findings of the study show that although DLH has a clear regulatory foundation, especially Regional Regulation Number 15 of 2013 and Regent Regulation Number 48 of 2018, its implementation faces significant obstacles. These obstacles include infrastructure limitations such as lack of adequate landfills and transport fleets, inadequate budget allocation for operations and maintenance, uneven distribution of waste services between sub-districts (some remote areas are unreachable), and low community participation which only reaches 35% in sorting activities and levy payments. This low participation is exacerbated by weak environmental awareness and lack of strict sanctions. This study concludes that strengthening DLH's institutional capacity, increasing regional budget commitments in a sustainable manner, and developing participatory and ecologically fair community involvement are absolute requirements to achieve sustainable waste management in West Lampung. On top of these three pillars, the gap between policy and practice will continue to widen, threatening the environment and social justice.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to counteract radicalism for millennials in the cyberface era 5.0, to work on qualitative methods, and to quote from secondary data such as articles and books and stuff. The research is almost conclusively kept that in the society 5.0 era, technological growth is increasing, and even more plausibly in cyberspace, it can make it easy for people to do things that go from sharing information to sharing information, with mainstream social media users being exploited by the millennials at the moment, looking at the overwhelming majority of youth-oriented social media users. Allowing radical groups to exploit this situation to influence millennials who must be extremely powerful. As for the effort that the millennials are able to counteract radicalism, social media literacy, by filtering out the information that is obtained first, does not accept the teachings received through the world; contribute to science by producing radical-related works so that others will also know about the radicalism and always make use of time with positivity

Abstract

This study examines state authority in water resource management from the perspective of environmental administrative law amid increasing pressures on water quality, climate change, and conflicts of interest among the state, communities, and the private sector in Indonesia. Following the Constitutional Court’s decisions and the enactment of Law No. 17 of 2019 concerning Water Resources, the state is reaffirmed as the principal authority responsible for controlling and ensuring water utilization for public welfare. This research employs a normative juridical method using legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data were collected from primary legal materials, including statutes, implementing regulations, and court decisions, as well as secondary materials such as books, scientific journals, and relevant studies. The analysis uses descriptive-analytical and interpretative techniques to examine norms and principles of environmental administrative law. The findings reveal that the state exercises authority through administrative instruments such as licensing, supervision, and administrative sanctions. However, overlapping authority between central and regional governments, weak environmental oversight, and limited integration between administrative and ecological instruments reduce governance effectiveness. In addition, the principles of participation, transparency, and precaution have not been optimally implemented, affecting environmental protection and community rights to water. The study concludes that strengthening legal instruments, harmonizing authority, enhancing institutional capacity, and consistently applying principles of good governance and precaution are essential for sustainable and equitable water resource management. This article contributes by offering an integrated analysis of post-2019 water governance and its implications for environmental administrative law reform in Indonesia.
Studi Perbandingan Politik Islam Al Mawardi dan Ibnu Taimiyyah Serta Relevansinnya Dengan Politik Demokrasi Modern Fazari Zul Hasmi Kanggas; Muhammad Azrul Amirullah; Saipul Nasution; Usamah Abdurrahman; Muhammad Akbar Hilman

Abstract

The concept of Ahlu al-Halli wa al-‘Aqdi formulated by Al Mawardi in Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah represents an important foundation of classical Islamic political thought concerning leadership selection and governance. This study aims to analyze and critically examine Al Mawardi’s concept of Ahlu al-Halli wa al-‘Aqdi and its relevance to modern democratic politics from the perspective of Ibn Taymiyyah. The research employs a normative juridical and descriptive-analytical approach through the study of classical Islamic political literature and contemporary democratic systems. The findings indicate that Ahlu al-Halli wa al-‘Aqdi functioned as a representative body authorized to appoint and dismiss leaders based on criteria of justice, knowledge, and social influence. However, the mechanism differs significantly from modern democratic institutions such as the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), the House of Representatives (DPR), and Regional Representative Councils (DPRD), whose members are directly elected by the people through periodic elections. In Al Mawardi’s framework, leadership succession tended to be elitist and limited to certain authoritative groups. From Ibn Taymiyyah’s perspective, the legitimacy of political authority should prioritize public welfare (maslahah) and justice, allowing flexibility in governance systems according to social and political contexts. The study concludes that although the concept of Ahlu al-Halli wa al-‘Aqdi remains relevant as an ethical foundation for leadership and representation, its implementation requires contextual reinterpretation to align with democratic principles, public participation, accountability, and modern constitutional governance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Nahdlatul Ulama in local political dynamics in North Sumatra in 2024. NU as the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia has a significant influence on the social, cultural, and political life of the community. However, in practice, the involvement of religious organizations in the political sphere often faces the risk of politicization that can affect the independence of the organization. Therefore, this research is directed to understand the form of NU's role in local politics and the factors that influence this involvement. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The informants in this study are the Deputy Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Management (PWNU), the Deputy Secretary of the Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Management (PWNU), and the Katib of the Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Management (PWNU). The results of this study show that Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in local political dynamics plays a role that emphasizes moral, social, and educational functions rather than involvement in practical politics. The pattern of participation is influenced by social and religious factors that make NU play a role as the moral force of civil society in maintaining the harmony and quality of local democracy, which is carried out through the strategy of organizational neutrality and political education to the community.

Abstract

This empirical study investigates the structural relationships among principals’ transformational leadership, teacher performance, academic engagement, and career self-efficacy among vocational education students in Indonesia. Grounded in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and the Bass-Avolio transformational leadership framework, the study develops an integrated model linking organizational and psychological factors within vocational education contexts. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 222 students in grades XI and XII at SMKN 2 Lingsar. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly predicts academic engagement (β = 0.32, p < 0.01) and indirectly affects career self-efficacy through academic engagement mediation (β = 0.12, p < 0.01). Teacher performance emerged as the strongest predictor of academic engagement (β = 0.41, p < 0.001) and significantly influenced career self-efficacy (β = 0.27, p < 0.01). Furthermore, academic engagement demonstrated a strong positive effect on career self-efficacy (β = 0.38, p < 0.001), explaining 62% of the variance in students’ career self-efficacy. The study highlights that vocational graduate unemployment may stem not only from limited technical competence but also from inadequate psychological readiness. Theoretically, this research contributes an integrated framework connecting educational management and educational psychology. Practically, the findings identify strategic school-level interventions to strengthen students’ employment readiness through leadership, teacher effectiveness, and academic engagement development.

Abstract

This phenomenological study examines the dynamics of identity politics and electoral viability construction among legislative candidates in Electoral District II (Dapil II) of East Lombok during Indonesia's 2024 elections. Employing Alfred Schutz's phenomenological framework integrated with Social Identity Theory and political opportunity structure perspectives, the research explores how candidates strategically leverage multiple identity markers religious, ethnic, and regional to enhance electoral appeal. Through purposive sampling involving 15 legislative candidates and campaign team members, supplemented by ethnographic observation (60+ hours), discourse analysis of campaign materials, and textual interpretation of social media messaging, the study identifies three critical mechanisms of electability construction: (1) identity codification selective emphasis of specific identity dimensions while downplaying others; (2) constituency-identity alignment construction of authentic representation narratives; and (3) inter-candidate differentiation distinction through identity positioning. Findings reveal that identity politics operates simultaneously as structural constraint and agentic resource, wherein candidates experience identity mobilization not as pure strategy but as embedded within webs of authentic belief, moral judgment, and social obligation. The study contributes theoretically by demonstrating how phenomenological approaches illuminate the lived experience underlying electoral behavior, and practically by offering recommendations for candidates, parties, and election administrators engaging identity-conscious constituencies. The research addresses significant gaps in Indonesian electoral studies by centering candidate perspectives and employing phenomenological rigor to analyze local-level identity politics during heightened religious identity mobilization.
