Indonesian society is prone to various conflicts, both political and social. These conflicts not only cause material losses but also claim lives. Therefore, a step is needed to prepare society to face conflicts non-violently, namely through peace education. This paper examines Driyarkara's thoughts on education, which have relevance to peace education. This research uses a library research method and is analyzed using a content analysis method. The primary purpose of education for Driyarkara is to form young people into perfect human beings who not only have good intellect but also good character and morals and are able to live peacefully and harmoniously with other humans. To achieve a peaceful and harmonious personality, education must teach young people to be culturally literate, meaning to know their own culture and understand the cultures of others. Another step that must be taken is to include peace values in every learning process, including every subject, such as social, exact, and language subjects. For Driyarkara, equipping young people with knowledge of culture and peace will create a tolerant younger generation who are positive and able to find solutions to any conflicts that arise.

This research aims to identify the condition of road infrastructure, measure the level of community participation in efforts to improve the quality of environmental roads, and evaluate the impact on the aesthetics of the area in Behind Padang District, Batam City. Good infrastructure and active community participation are very important in creating a comfortable and aesthetic environment, which in turn can improve the quality of life and welfare of the community. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, which allows for in-depth data collection through field observations, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The data obtained was analyzed qualitatively using a data reduction approach, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Field observations show that the physical condition of roads in the Rear Padang District varies greatly. Some main roads are in good condition with smooth asphalt surfaces, but many neighborhood roads are damaged, potholed and poorly maintained. This condition is exacerbated by supporting infrastructure such as drainage channels and street lighting which is still very limited in some areas. This deficiency has a negative impact on the comfort and safety of road users and reduces the aesthetics of the environment. This research found that improving road infrastructure and increasing community participation had a significant impact on the aesthetics of the area. Well-improved roads and well-organized neighborhoods create a more pleasant atmosphere and increase resident satisfaction. Active community participation in infrastructure planning also increases the sense of ownership and responsibility.

This research aims to evaluate the influence of commercial activities and tourism activities on the development of public facilities at the Simpang Barelang Roundabout, a strategic area that connects several areas in the Batam region. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. Primary data was collected through surveys involving business actors, tourists and local communities. The survey was designed to identify their needs and perceptions of available public facilities. In addition, secondary data was obtained from local government reports and other related institutions.The analysis results show that commercial activities, which include trade, services and small industry, significantly influence the need for adequate infrastructure. The increase in the number of businesses around the Simpang Barelang roundabout encourages the government to provide facilities such as better roads, street lighting and adequate drainage systems. On the other hand, increasing tourism activities in this area also contribute to the development of public facilities. Tourists who visit, both domestic and international, expect adequate facilities such as a large parking area, tourist information center, cleaning facilities and recreation areas. This research concludes that synergy between commercial and tourism activities is very important in the planning and development of sustainable public facilities.

Infrastructure development has the potential to have an important influence on various aspects of regional development. One important piece of infrastructure is a bridge. This study aims to analyze the influence of the construction of the Ocarina - Bengkong Bridge on economic and social aspects in Bengkong sub-district. This research uses quantitative methods by distributing questionnaires to the community around the Bengkong bridge. In the economic aspect, the research results show that the construction of the bridge has made a positive contribution to economic growth in Bengkong sub-district. The availability of better accessibility between Ocarina and Bengkong has increased population mobility, enabled the growth of the trade sector, and supported the development of the tourism sector in the region. Apart from that, the construction of the bridge also triggers an increase in property values and investment around the area. In the social aspect, bridge construction has brought positive changes in people's lives. Better mobility increases social connectivity between regions, facilitates cultural exchange, and strengthens community integration. Apart from that, increasing accessibility also increases people's access to education and health services. However, this study also identified several challenges and negative influences, such as increased traffic flow which can cause congestion and environmental impacts that need to be managed well and wisely. This research provides important insights for policy makers, related parties and the general public about the importance of infrastructure such as bridges in improving the economic and social welfare of a region.

Social media is a platform for everyone to express and convey information. The emergence of social media certainly affects the behavior of each individual who uses it. This is due to a social media algorithm called the filter bubble, which can lead to polarization as in the Tiktok application and several other social media applications. Simply put, we are made to feel as if we know everything that is happening around us, when in fact we do not. This is what causes 'toxic' polarization to form an ignorant personality. In other words, 'toxic polarization' will isolate every social media user intellectually. Of course, this will be very dangerous if it happens during the 2024 presidential election campaign because it will cause many divisions. The long-term effect will certainly affect democracy so that it can cause stagnation.

This research examines the implementation of mukhabarah in the management of productive waqf to improve social welfare in Bireuen. Mukhabarah, as a profit-sharing system in agriculture, allows cooperation between nadzir (waqf managers) and cultivators to manage waqf land productively. The research results show that mukhabarah can increase land productivity, cultivator income, and the quality of life of the community. The social impacts of this system include reducing unemployment, increasing agricultural skills, and strengthening social ties. However, the implementation of mukhabarah faces challenges such as a lack of understanding and skills of nadzir, unsupportive regulations, and limited access to capital and technology. The role of the government and Islamic financial institutions is very important in supporting and overcoming these challenges. By increasing the capacity of nadzir and cultivators, developing supportive regulations, facilitating access to capital and technology, infrastructure and market support, as well as collaboration between stakeholders, it is hoped that the implementation of mukhabarah can run more effectively and provide optimal benefits for community welfare.

Insurance is a form of financial protection that provides a guarantee of payment or benefit in the face of certain risks or losses. If the unexpected risk befalls one of the participants, the loss will be borne together. The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe the elements of Assalam Family products in the context of the implementation of tabarru' fund management at PT. Bumiputera Sharia Life Insurance Medan Branch. This study uses a type of field research, with qualitative research methods, exploring data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results of the research obtained are that the Assalam Family Product Element uses the tabarru' contract as the basis for its implementation. The process involves two procedures, namely requesting an Assalam Family sharia life insurance policy and submitting a claim. Tabarru' funds are managed by separating participants' contributions into two separate accounts, participant savings accounts (saving system) and tabarru' accounts (non-saving system). The investment proceeds are divided 70% for participants and 30% for the company, with a risk management commitment of 50% of the contribution. The allocation of funds is invested in sharia stocks and bonds according to sharia principles. If the tabarru' funds run out, the qardh funds are used to overcome the inadequacy, which is taken from the central Bumiputera which is realized to the branches that lack funds to pay compensation or claims submitted by participants.
