Abstract

Force field analysis (FFA) is a new method that is still rarely used by researchers, so in this study this method is used to determine various driving and inhibiting factors in efforts to develop Bukit Tawap tourism in Pagar Batu village. Because the beginning of the establishment of this tourist attraction experienced a lot of rejection and opposition from the people of Pagar Batu Village. This study was conducted to find out how to develop Bukit Tawap tourism in Pagar Batu Village using the force field analysis method so that later it can be known what factors make Bukit Tawap tourism develop. This study uses the force field analysis method by emphasizing three analysis steps. First, the theme elders who gave birth to a policy, second, giving scores to various factors in the Bukit Tawap tourism development process. Finally, providing analysis using data, theory and documentation. The results of the analysis show that the use of the FFA method is able to provide convenience in mitigating supporting and inhibiting factors so as to produce strategies such as adding available facilities such as selfie spots and play facilities for children, adding tourism promotions on social media, collaborating with tourism actors and collaborating with telecommunications parties to improve technological infrastructure. Meanwhile, to facilitate accessibility, it is necessary to provide transportation facilities to the Bukit Tawap tourist attraction

Abstract

Gunung Dago Nature Tourism, located in Parung Panjang District, Bogor Regency, West Java, is a nature-based tourist destination officially opened on January 1, 2019. As a tourism attraction requiring a sustainable promotional strategy, the management has implemented digital marketing through various social media platforms. However, despite utilizing online media for branding and promotion, the number of tourist visits has not increased significantly and has even declined. This contradicts previous research findings, which suggest that optimizing digital marketing in tourism promotion can significantly increase visitor numbers. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital marketing as a promotional strategy for Gunung Dago tourism. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, with informants selected using purposive sampling techniques. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings indicate that digital marketing is carried out through social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Additionally, an official website is available; however, its management falls under the authority of the Bogor Regency Government, resulting in suboptimal utilization. The implementation of digital marketing in Gunung Dago still faces challenges, primarily due to the management's heavy reliance on Instagram as the primary promotional medium, while the website remains underutilized. The main obstacles identified include limited human resource capabilities in managing various digital platforms. Therefore, technology-based training for tourism managers and the provision of supporting infrastructure are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies.

Abstract

The rapid development of cryptocurrency investment has raised concerns regarding its impact on economic stability, particularly in emerging markets. This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review and library research to analyze the risks associated with cryptocurrency investments and their implications for financial stability. This research identifies key risk factors, including market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity threats, and financial system disruptions by examining existing scholarly works, regulatory frameworks, and market trends. The findings indicate that cryptocurrency investments offer opportunities for financial inclusion and economic diversification but also pose significant risks to economic stability due to price fluctuations and speculative behavior. Furthermore, the lack of a unified regulatory framework across different countries exacerbates these risks, leading to potential financial instability in emerging economies. The study highlights the necessity of regulatory intervention and policy formulation to mitigate these risks while harnessing the benefits of cryptocurrency investments. Governments and financial institutions in emerging markets must establish robust risk management strategies and regulatory frameworks to balance innovation and financial stability. This research contributes to the academic discourse by providing a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between cryptocurrency investments and economic stability in emerging markets. Future research should focus on empirical case studies to further explore the long-term effects of cryptocurrency investments on financial stability.

Abstract

MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise) are vital to Indonesia's economy, driving employment, income, and poverty reduction. However, their global expansion potential remains underutilized due to challenges in accessing international markets, highlighting the need for strategies to boost their export capabilities and competitiveness. This study analyses the influence of education level, empowerment, and social capital on the export performance of MSMEs participating in Surakarta's Export Clinic Technical Guidance program. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design and path analysis to test the influence of variables. The research sample consisted of 60 MSME actors involved in the export clinic program in Surakarta. The analysis results indicate an indirect relationship between education level and MSME export capability through social capital, and there is an indirect relationship between empowerment level and export capability through social capital, with a better understanding of the global market and marketing techniques that support their competitiveness. Findings show that education provides a better understanding of the global market and marketing techniques that support their competitiveness. Empowerment of MSMEs through training and mentoring has been shown to increase self-confidence and technical skills, which are important in facing export challenges. Social capital, which includes networks and relationships with external parties, is important in expanding access to international markets. These findings suggest that combining these factors can strengthen the export capability of MSMEs in Surakarta.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the selling price of palm sap brown sugar in Pegajahan District using the plus cost price method. Palm sap brown sugar is a processed product that has high economic value and is in great demand by the public, both for direct consumption and as an industrial raw material. However, selling prices that often fluctuate are a challenge for producers in determining reasonable and profitable prices. This study identifies the costs involved in the production process of palm sap brown sugar, such as raw material costs, labor, and other costs, as well as determining the feasible profit margin to set the selling price of the product. The cost plus price method is used to calculate the selling price by adding the corresponding profit margin to the total cost of production. The results of this study are expected to provide useful recommendations for palm sap brown sugar producers in Pegajahan District in determining the optimal selling price, as well as contributing to local economic development. In addition, this study also provides insight into the cost efficiency in palm sap brown sugar production in the area.

Abstract

Relations between inter-Korean have worsened as tensions from the DPRK nuclear crisis have continued to escalate. Amidst the existing tensions, some of the Republic of Korea regimes have taken a humanist approach in dealing with the DPRK, which has resulted in improving relations between both countries. The author uses Samuel P. Huntington's political order theory to explore a stable and effective political system in managing conflict and making decisions. This study uses qualitative methods with secondary sources from journals, books, reports, official documents, and official websites. The results of this study indicate that the humanist approach is more effective in dealing with the DPRK through meetings held by the leaders of the two countries to build cooperative relations such as the construction of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, economic aid worth hundreds of billions of Won to prevent North Korea's nuclear development, and dialogue conducted through state meetings. In addition, policies made by the Republic of Korea, such as the Sunshine Policy, are able to embrace the DPRK and prioritize dialogue when the DPRK violates the agreement in cooperation without unilaterally terminating the cooperative relationship as was done by the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye regimes with their conservative approaches. Political institutions also play an important role in making foreign policies that have an impact on the security stability of the Republic of Korea.

Abstract

Employee work performance looks different even though they admit that they have the same job satisfaction, so the research questions to be asked are, is there a direct effect of job satisfaction on job performance? and is there an indirect effect of job satisfaction on job performance through resilience?. So far, it is known that job satisfaction is an important factor, but it does not measure the resilience that occurs in individuals, even though sustainable work performance occurs not only because they are satisfied with their jobs but resilience plays an important role in long-term work. This study uses a non-experimental quantitative approach with a case study approach because it aims to see a group of samples and not to generalize the results of the study. Samples were collected by being selected based on job performance assessments from the research location. Data were taken using three scales and analyzed with mediation. The results of this study explain that rejecting the first null hypothesis, which means that there is a direct effect of job satisfaction on job performance significantly. Then rejecting the second null hypothesis, which means that there is an indirect effect of job satisfaction on job performance through resilience significantly. The conclusions and suggestions in this study are explained further.

Abstract

The Nigerian intergovernmental relations system is central to the effective working of governance because it involves cooperation among federal, state, and local governments. Intergovernmental conflicts have a tendency of undermining this system, thereby its effectiveness in ensuring public services and fostering national integration minimal. Descriptive analysis is applied in this book to analyze the causes, effects, and potential solutions of intergovernmental conflict in Nigeria. The study identifies some of the key drivers that are responsible for the incidence of such conflicts, which are uncertainties in the constitution that result in conflicting mandates and disagreements, unequal resource allocation that results in competition among governments, and party politics-influenced competition for political power. Inefficient administration and entrenched corruption also sustain such tensions, given that they turn good governance and public service delivery into a fantasy. The consequences of these struggles are far-reaching, ranging from delay and below-standard services to loss of public confidence in government institutions and hindrance of socio-economic development. Furthermore, intergovernmental strife gives rise to regional disintegration, promoting challenges of national disintegration. Considering these challenges, the paper establishes several conflict management measures. These would entail constitutional amendments that would spell out the roles and responsibilities of every level of government, ensure better distribution of resources, and improve communication and coordination among the federal, state, and local governments. Of prime concern also is building the capability of government employees through training and instituting mechanisms for accountability. Lastly, the application of an impartial body to settle disputes would provide the nation with a third-party mechanism for dispute settlement where grievances would be settled. In embracing such processes, the Nigerian IGR can be simplified, resulting in improved governance, guaranteed socio-economic progress, and enhanced national unity and therefore resulting in long-term development and stability of the nation

Abstract

This study examines the strategic leadership model in regional cooperation to enhance the effectiveness of addressing drug trafficking routes in Indonesia. Indonesia's unique geographical location makes it a crucial transit hub for drug trafficking, posing significant challenges to national security and regional stability. Despite numerous efforts to combat drug trafficking, the lack of coordinated regional leadership remains a persistent barrier. This research specifically addresses the question: How can a strategic leadership model improve regional cooperation effectiveness in resolving drug trafficking in Indonesia?. The novelty of this paper lies in its comprehensive analysis of the strategic leadership model's application specifically within the ASEAN regional cooperation framework, which has not been extensively studied previously. Unlike other studies, this research identifies specific institutional, technological, and political barriers and offers a structured framework to address accountability and cross-border legal harmonization. This paper employs a descriptive qualitative approach and literature review, analyzing data sourced from internationally indexed academic journals, institutional reports, and publications from international bodies such as ASEAN and the UNODC. A thematic analysis approach, complemented by source triangulation, is utilized to ensure data validity and reliability.: The findings indicate that effective regional strategic leadership significantly reduces drug trafficking activities through improved coordination, harmonized law enforcement, advanced technology integration, and structured anti-corruption measures. Comparative case studies from Thailand’s Golden Triangle Operation and drug enforcement strategies in Mexico underline the critical role of cohesive strategic leadership. The study concludes that implementing a structured strategic leadership framework is essential to overcoming existing political and institutional barriers, enhancing regional cooperation effectiveness. Policymakers in ASEAN nations, particularly Indonesia, should prioritize establishing transparent accountability mechanisms, harmonizing cross-border laws, strengthening anti-corruption efforts, and promoting high-level diplomatic engagements to effectively combat drug trafficking
