Abstract

Postgraduate students, particularly those lacking exposure to scholarly learning, have to confront significant financial shortages, which delay the attainment of their academic objectives. This study explores the factors that motivate young people to get master's degrees and the challenges students face during their postgraduate journey at South Africa's historically disadvantaged universities. Data were collected and processed using a qualitative research method. The study employed purposive sampling and a snowball sample to select participants. Thematic analysis was employed to scrutinize the data. The study revealed that augmented employment prospects, enhancement of remunerative status, familial heritage, and aspiration for scholarly attainment are the factors motivating young people to pursue postgraduate studies. The challenges of insufficient supervision and limited familial support have been identified. The study recommends that the higher education sector seek financial support from external sources, including foreign donors and the private sector, to address some of the challenges young scholars experience during their postgraduate studies and encourage the pursuit of master's degrees. Additionally, it is advised that supervisors receive appropriate training in adequate student support.

Abstract

A smart village is a village whose people use technology and digital innovation in their daily lives. Implementing the smart village concept in rural development requires adequate village institutional capacity. Low institutional capacity causes an organization to lack the capacity to manage development and provide services. In general, the capacity of village organizations in almost all villages in Indonesia was relatively low, so the successful implementation of the bright village concept in village development requires more time. Regarding this problem, this study aimed to test whether or not village institutional capacity influences the implementation of smart villages in village development. The location of the study was chosen as Sembalun Bumbung Village, Sembalun District, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with an associative research method, namely testing the influence of village institutional capacity variables on smart village implementation variables. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and literature studies. The research instrument has been tested through validity and reliability tests. The data analysis technique used analysis using the Pearson correlation test (product-moment). The study results showed that the village institutional capacity variable affects the smart village implementation variable with a determination coefficient of 74.30%, which indicates a strong relationship between the two variables. These results are crucial for understanding the dynamics of smart village implementation. The research results also found that several factors influenced the success of implementing smart villages: infrastructure, networking, and community participation.

Abstract

This research explores whether a product’s country of origin (COO) influences consumer purchasing decisions through the mediating role of perceived quality. The study is grounded in consumer behavior and brand perception theories, focusing on Adidas users in Bandung as a case. Using a quantitative method and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS, data were collected from 110 respondents through a structured questionnaire. The analysis confirmed that COO has a significant positive influence on perceived quality and, subsequently, on purchase decisions. However, the COO does not directly influence purchasing decisions without the mediation of perceived quality. These findings highlight the importance of perceived product quality in bridging the consumer's perception of a brand's origin and purchasing behavior. This study contributes to marketing and branding strategies by emphasizing the need for companies to enhance the perceived quality of their products when leveraging their country of origin in brand positioning.

Abstract

The low number of innovations produced by government agencies requires the presence of ambidextrous innovation to create effective and efficient innovations in public services. This study aims to analyze the direct influence of human resources, leadership, organizational structure, and organizational culture on ambidextrous innovation to further affect the quality of public services in government agencies, and examine the indirect influence of these variables on the quality of public services through ambidextrous innovation as a mediating variable. 113 public service agencies were selected as samples using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using path analysis to measure research variables' direct and indirect effects. The results showed that Organizational Structure is the only variable directly affecting Ambidextrous Innovation (p value = 0.007), while other variables do not. Ambidextrous innovation has a significant influence on the quality of public services (p-value = 0.001). In addition, only Organizational Structure significantly influences Public Service Quality through Ambidextrous Innovation as an intervening variable. This suggests that to improve the quality of public services, greater attention must be paid to developing organizational structures and processes that support innovation.

Abstract

This article addresses a significant gap in studies on regional identity, which often emphasize consumption while neglecting the role of production in shaping local identity. In response, this study investigates how local identity in Bondowoso is co-constructed through coffee production and consumption, particularly through the Kampung Kopi Pelita initiative. The research examines how historical legacies, state interventions, and everyday entrepreneurial practices intersect in making Bondowoso's Republik Kopi identity. This study used a qualitative Grounded Theory approach to examine the co-construction of local identity in Bondowoso. Data were collected through 25 semi-structured interviews with key actors in Kampung Kopi Pelita, including coffee entrepreneurs, Pokdarwis members, and community leaders. To complement the interviews, an FGD with 20 participants was held. These methods enabled a rich analysis of identity formation's symbolic, economic, and political aspects, with data reaching thematic saturation. The findings challenge dominant consumption-based perspectives by Arslan & Coskun, which underplay the productive agency of local actors. Instead, the study develops a model of identity co-creation where producers and consumers mutually shape symbolic meanings and regional imaginaries. Theoretically, it enriches Giddens' concept of reflexive identity by embedding it in local economic practices. Practically, this research provides insight into how rural branding initiatives can be more inclusive by involving grassroots entrepreneurial actors. In conclusion, Kampung Kopi Pelita emerges not merely as a commercial space but as a cultural arena where local identity is contested, negotiated, and collectively imagined.

Abstract

Biogas technology has emerged as a strategic solution to address energy and environmental challenges in rural agricultural communities. However, its adoption rate and impact on household welfare—particularly regarding food security—remain relatively underexplored within the local Indonesian context. This study aims to: (1) identify the socio-economic and demographic factors influencing household decisions to adopt biogas technology, and (2) evaluate the impact of biogas adoption on household food security. The research was conducted using a cross-sectional survey design in Gendro Village, Tutur Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency, Indonesia. A total of 129 livestock-farming households were purposively selected. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using probit regression and two-sample t-tests. The findings indicate that farming experience (p = 0.051), livestock ownership (p = 0.054), membership in farmer groups (p = 0.025), and participation in extension programs (p = 0.070) significantly influence biogas adoption decisions. Furthermore, the t-test results show a statistically significant difference in food security between adopter and non-adopter households (p = 0.000). This study represents one of the first quantitative efforts in Indonesia to empirically examine the relationship between biogas technology adoption and household food security using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The results affirm that biogas technology contributes to energy savings and waste management and positively affects food security outcomes. Therefore, policy interventions should focus on expanding access to biogas technology through subsidy schemes, technical training, and integration with sustainable livestock development programs. Moreover, strengthening farmer group empowerment and community-based approaches is essential to promote wider and more equitable technology dissemination.

Abstract

Despite the enactment of legal restrictions on early marriage, the issue persists, particularly in rural areas of Central Java, where rates have increased. This study's main problem is the significant knowledge gap regarding how formal age-restriction policies are mediated and often undermined by deeply ingrained social and cultural norms at the community level. While previous studies have provided a broad overview of the impacts, they often lack a nuanced, micro-level understanding of the complex tensions between policy intentions and local realities. This research, therefore, provides a focused, qualitative analysis of the socio-economic dynamics of early marriage in a specific case study of rural Jepara, Indonesia. The study’s primary objectives were to analyze the social and economic impacts of the policy, identify community-level challenges, and offer actionable recommendations. A qualitative case study design involved in-depth interviews with 30 purposively selected informants, including adolescents, parents, community leaders, and government officials. The data, collected through interviews and observations, were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal a compelling tension between the policy's aims and strong traditional norms, such as the stigma of delaying marriage. While the policy has positively influenced families to prioritize education and long-term economic welfare, social pressure has significantly hampered its effectiveness. This study's unique contribution lies in its in-depth exploration of this tension, providing a grounded basis for future policy and community interventions. The conclusion clarifies how these findings address the research objectives and offers concrete recommendations for a more holistic approach that combines legal measures with targeted, community-based support and dialogue.

Abstract

Few studies employed bibliometric analysis to examine land service quality in the public sector. Using bibliometric analysis, this research focused on identifying the topics studied, mapping the trend of studies, and presenting future research. This research extracted data from the Google Scholar database through Publish or Perish based on the keyword "land service quality". Data from this research were collected during April 2025 and yielded 992 articles published during 2020-2024. Data processing employed VOSviewer overlay visualization to map keywords and clusters of topics, the trend of topics, and the latest topics for future research regarding land service quality in the public sector. This research revealed that the most dominant topics focused more on environmental and spatial aspects than social, institutional, or administrative aspects of land service governance. This research also indicated the trend of research topics shifting from purely environmental issues to an integrative approach with aspects of land degradation, food security, arable land, evidence, and comprehensive review (data-based approaches). In addition, this research delineated studies emphasizing the land issues over the services as the core tasks of the public sector (the government). However, institutional governance, policies, public service systems, participation, and fairness of community access to land resources mainly influenced future research. This research was still limited by extracting data only from the Google Scholar database. Moreover, this research contributed as a valuable reference and literature for other researchers who have used bibliometric analysis to study the topic of land service quality in the public sector.

Abstract

The problem of fulfilling cassava raw materials experienced by the Cassava Chips Industry in Rancabungur District has encouraged the industry to optimize its supply chain management process. This research aims to analyze the supply chain and performance of the cassava supply chain in the cassava chips industry. The data analysis methods used are descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis using the SCOR version 12 method. The research results show that the cassava supply chain flow in the cassava chips industry in the Rancabungur District involves many supply chain actors, and some do not. The main actors involved in this supply chain are farmers/middlemen (suppliers), cassava chips industry (manufacturers), agents (distributors), shops/resellers (retailers), and final consumers (customers). The average performance value of the cassava supply chain in the cassava chips industry in Rancabungur District is 78%, which is in the good category. This value is still not optimal, so it requires improvements to indicators that are still low.
