Abstract

The karst ecosystem of the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve in Tuban Regency, East Java, plays a vital role as a water reservoir, carbon sink, and biodiversity hub. However, uncontrolled deforestation and human activities have disrupted the ecological balance, threatening the flora and fauna, as well as the local groundwater reserves. This study documents a collaborative restoration program initiated by PT PLN Nusantara Power Unit Pembangkit Tanjung Awar-Awar (UPTA), in partnership with the East Java BBKSDA (National Resources Conservation Agency) and the Tuban Regency Environmental Agency. The program aimed to rehabilitate the karst ecosystem through the planting of 1,000 endemic trees, which are Ficus benjamina and Ficus macrocarpa. These trees were chosen for their high-water absorption capacity and ecological suitability to the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve. We implemented an innovative protection technique called “Ficus in Shield” by constructing cylindrical galvanized sheet metal under the tree trunks. This procedure was implemented to protect the saplings from damage by porcupines. The results show a measurable increase in biodiversity, evidenced by an increase in the Shannon-Wiener Biodiversity Index, and are expected to improve groundwater retention and ecosystem resilience. Beyond the ecological benefits, this initiative emphasizes the importance of public-private collaboration in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. These findings highlight that endemic-based reforestation, combined with adaptive protection methods, is expected to effectively restore longdegraded karst ecosystems and serve as a model for sustainable conservation both in the Nglirip Cave Nature Reserve and elsewhere.

Abstract

Higher education institutions in Indonesia are facing increasing competition. Service quality is determined by variables such as tangiblility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. This research intends to investigate the gap in service quality between students’ perceptions and management at the State Polytechnic of Malang. This research uses primary data. Descriptive analysis is used to assess the level of service quality difference between the perceptions of the student and the perceptions of management. The result of this analysis is that the average value perceptions of consumers and students are smaller compared to the average value perceptions of management and service providers, which indicates that consumers remain dissatisfied with the quality of services offered by the institution. The results of this research can be used by management to identify the advantages and disadvantages of service quality and determine strategies that can meet the expectations of consumers and students.

Abstract

Indonesia-Japan collaboration on vocational education has been a strategic step toward increased labor demand and youth employment opportunities. Local governments are effective facilitators of such partnerships by connecting schools, industries, and foreign partners. This is a real-life example of the Indonesian city of Bekasi in West Java where the local government facilitated the partnership of SMK Mitra Industri MM2100 and Japanese partners. Through partnerships with Japanese industries at the MM2100 Industrial Estate and Japanese training centers, students are furnished with industry-specific curricula, training of their technical expertise, and internship placements at home and abroad. This partnership not only endows students with hands-on experience of engineering and manufacturing but also improves their intercultural ability, linguistic skills, and adaptation to work environments worldwide. Japan brings their expertise by donating training modules, professional mentorship, and internship placements while the government of Bekasi facilitates alignment of policy, provision of funds and coordination with local industries. This partnership is a realization of Indonesia's vocational revitalization program of closing education and labor market disparities. It is more fundamentally designed to generate socioeconomic results like youth employment minimization and local industry competitiveness enhancement. Also, it contributes toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (quality education), Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth), and Goal 17 (partnership for the goals). This example of partnership by Bekasi and Japan is evidence of the contribution of multi-level governance of education cooperation and can inspire other regions seeking strong foreign partnership-based human capital development.

Abstract

The authors of this paper establish metrics for assessing a few chosen financial KPIs of Indian commercial banks. The study analyzed data from commercial banks for the years 2019–20 to 2022–2023 using Key Performance Indicators. Financial performance was measured using six indicators: financial performance, operational efficiency and cost management, asset quality and credit risk, liquidity and funding, regulatory compliance, diversification, and income mix KPIs. Payment Banks and Public Sector Banks are required to manage core operations to increase profitability efficiently. Inefficient investment portfolios, high employee costs, and reliance on costlier deposits are issues for Payment Banks. Small Finance Banks have the highest COD, and potentially lower net interest margin, while Payment Banks have higher cost control. Foreign Banks and Payment Banks have excessive liquidity and possible underutilization of funds. PvSBs, Foreign Banks, and All Schedule Commercial Banks are not meeting regulatory targets for lending to the priority sector. The efficient performance of banks is the essence of the robust financial and economic system of the country. Effective implementation of financial policies ensures better control and better performance of banks by KPIs and maintains the highest level of financial stability, which would improve the further expansion of the financial performance of the banks. The authors offer a KPI-based measure of financial performance that incorporates sub-indicators from the Broad Six KPIs.

Abstract

In response to growing global demands for sustainable development, this study explores how governance structures within the telecommunication sector influence organizational commitment to sustainability. Specifically, it examines the relationship between sustainable development efforts and three core governance dimensions: social governance, environmental governance, and economic decarbonization. Grounded in institutional theory, the study hypothesizes that stronger governance across these domains is positively associated with higher levels of sustainability commitment. Using Pearson correlation analysis on a sample of 95 telecommunication entities, the results reveal statistically significant positive correlations across all dimensions. The strongest association was observed between sustainable development and social governance (r = 0.472, p < 0.001), followed by economic decarbonization (r = 0.437, p < 0.001), and environmental governance (r = 0.373, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that while each governance domain contributes meaningfully to sustainability efforts, none alone serves as a dominant predictor. The moderate strength of these correlations underscores the importance of a holistic, integrated governance approach that simultaneously addresses social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic transformation. This research offers actionable insights for policymakers, corporate leaders, and sustainability practitioners aiming to align governance strategies with sustainable development goals in the telecommunication industry.

Abstract

This research contributes to the documentation of the indigenous knowledge and social practice of the Kankana-ey in Bas-ang. This study determined the socio-demographic profile of the respondents and assessed their level of awareness and extent of knowledge on TSFMP, quantified the effectiveness of the adoption of TSFMP, and determined the significance of practicing the distinct TSFMP of Bas-ang. The data collected from a total of 234 respondents has been interpreted and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results show that most respondents are aged 41-45 while aged 71-75 are the lowest. In terms of gender, 60.17% are male. In civil status, 92.17% are married. In addition, many did not finish college degrees, and a few did not receive formal education. Given their educational background, some are construction workers. Painters, mechanical technicians, and OFWs were determined as the lowest respondents. The challenges met by the respondents, however, were poor information dissemination on factors affecting TSFMP and knowledge in performing “id-idew” and marking of trees (gitabam).

Abstract

Global warming and abnormal climate change have increasingly affected economic growth worldwide, prompting governments to emphasize carbon emission control and sustainable development. These developments have also shifted investor preferences toward green finance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. Growing awareness of environmental risks and other non-financial factors has intensified pressure on companies to improve their ESG practices and disclose related performance. Consequently, research examining the relationship between ESG and firm value has expanded, raising the question of whether ESG implementation truly enhances company value. This study aims to analyze the effect of ESG performance on firm value, as well as the mediating role of the cost of capital, in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a causal research design, the study investigates the influence of ESG as the independent variable on firm value as the dependent variable, and evaluates whether the cost of capital mediates this relationship. Secondary data were obtained from the 2024 annual reports and financial statements of all IDX-listed companies. The results indicate that among the three ESG dimensions, only the environmental factor significantly affects firm value, while social and governance factors show no significant influence. Furthermore, the cost of capital does not affect firm value and does not mediate the relationship between ESG performance and firm value.

Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of environmental ethics in Pakis Kembar Village through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) within the frameworkParticipatory Action Research (PAR). The background of the study focuses on the high level of domestic waste accumulation and the practice of dumping waste into rivers influenced by local myths, namely throwing baby diapers into rivers. This study conducted an FGD on November 5, 2025, using a PAR approach involving local governments, religious leaders, local communities, academics, practitioners, and the private sector to explore the roots of socio-cultural problems and formulate community-based solutions. The results of the study indicate that waste management problems are not only caused by limited infrastructure, but also by mental models and local knowledge systems.(indigenous knowledge system). Through inter-epistemological dialogue, FGD effectively facilitates the process of demystifying local myths, building collective awareness, identifying local champions, and producing the compilation master plan eco edu tourism, a river conservation roadmap that integrates environmental education, value change, and technical interventions. However, the implementation of this initiative still faces challenges, such as the need for long-term mentoring, strengthening women's representation, and implementing technical ideas into real-world practice. Based on these results, this study recommends strategies value-based intervention, integration of practice-based environmental education, and strengthening cross-regional networks to support upstream and downstream conservation.

Abstract

This study checks how well REDD+ and FCPF efforts worked in supporting lasting growth and boosting local living conditions at Teluk Sulaimaun. It looks into shifts in tree coverage, how involved villagers were, along with changes in family income and jobs. We combined several ways to gather info - talking to 150 household leaders, holding detailed talks with main players, also going through existing project records. Results suggest forest loss dropped by 23% in five years,whereas typical home earnings rose 7%, thanks to new work options like beekeeping or nature tours. Still, a few hurdles popped up - like uneven gains across groups, poor teamwork between sectors, or low skill levels within communities. The research wraps up by saying carbon projects work best when everyone’s included from the start, rewards are shared openly, while local systems keep getting stronger over time.
