Abstract

This study aims to analyze strategies in increasing income in the local fashion industry, especially in the Zainal Songket Brand in Palembang City. The fashion industry based on traditional crafts such as songket has an important role in preserving local culture as well as a source of community economy. However, increasingly fierce market competition and changes in consumer behavior require business actors to be able to implement the right strategies to increase revenue. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants in this study consist of business owners, employees, and consumers of the Zainal Songket Brand. Data analysis techniques are carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the strategies applied in increasing revenue include the development of product designs that follow trends without leaving cultural values, the use of social media as a means of promotion, improving product quality, and expanding marketing networks both offline and online. In addition, participation in events or exhibitions is also an important factor in attracting consumer interest, especially tourists. The obstacles faced include dependence on tourist visits, rising prices of raw materials, and limited weaver labor. The conclusion of this study is that the right marketing strategies and product innovation can increase the revenue of the local fashion industry, although there are still some obstacles that need to be overcome. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed in business development to be able to compete in a wider market.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to systematically identify, analyze, and synthesize various research findings related to the challenges of policy advocacy for Smoke-Free Zones (SNOZs) and tobacco industry interventions in Indonesia. Using a systematic literature review method, a comprehensive literature search was conducted through international and national databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample of 12 primary articles published between 2020 and 2025, using descriptive qualitative designs, case studies, implementation research, and literature reviews, was selected through a multistep screening process. The main issues and variables examined in this study include structural barriers of local governments, community compliance, cross-sector coordination, political lobbying, corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, and point-of-sale marketing. The results indicate that advocacy and implementation of SNOZs in Indonesia are severely hampered by incomplete communication, limited budgets and institutional resources, and a widespread smoking culture. Furthermore, tobacco industry interventions actively undermine these public health variables by promoting weaker alternative regulatory frameworks (such as indoor smoking spaces instead of total bans), exploiting weak law enforcement coordination, and targeting young people through intensive retail advertising around educational areas.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with the Ombudsman of the Republic of South Sumatra, direct observation of field activities, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on organizational communication theory and fusion communication theory from Lee Thayer. The results of the study show that the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia Representative of South Sumatra implements a planned and integrative communication strategy. These stages include planning based on mapping the target area, the preparation of messages tailored to the characteristics of the community using communicative language and real case examples, as well as the use of various communication media (print, digital, and face-to-face). The On The Spot program has proven to be effective in bridging understanding through two-way communication that is dialogical and participatory. This direct interaction allows the Ombudsman to absorb aspirations in a *bottom-up*, straighten out the wrong public perception of the authority of the institution, and build public trust. This process reflects the concept of fusion communication, where there is an integration between the institutional goal of supervising public services and the individual interests of the community in obtaining fair and quality services.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public administration ethics in the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) in the Regional Government of Gorontalo City. The research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through data collection techniques in the form of literature studies by utilizing various reference sources, such as books, scientific journals, official documents, academic articles, as well as laws and regulations related to the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) and public administration ethics. The results showed that the implementation of SPBE in Gorontalo City has been supported by regional regulations and national policies, but its implementation still faces obstacles in aspects of system integration, human resource competence, public digital literacy, and the application of public service ethics. This study also found that the success of SPBE is not only influenced by technological readiness, but also by the quality of bureaucratic governance, transparency, accountability, and the professionalism of government officials in providing services to the community. Therefore, strengthening public administration ethics is an important factor in supporting the effectiveness of electronic-based government services.

Abstract

Background: Promiscuity in adolescents is one of the problems that can have a negative impact on students' health, social, and psychological development. Lack of knowledge about promiscuity makes adolescents more susceptible to being influenced by the environment and risky behaviors. Therefore, educational efforts are needed to increase students' understanding and awareness of the importance of healthy associations. Objective: This activity aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of SMA Negeri 1 Limboto students about promiscuity, the forms of behavior included in it, the causative factors, the impact caused, and efforts to prevent it. Methods: Activities are carried out through the stages of study, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The assessment method used observation of students of SMA Negeri 1 Limboto. Education is provided through health counseling using PowerPoint (PPT) media and interactive discussion methods to increase student participation in the learning process. Results: The results of the activity showed that before the counseling most students had a low level of knowledge about promiscuity. After the implementation of education, there is an increase in student understanding which is shown by the ability to re-explain the meaning of promiscuity, causative factors, negative impacts, and how to avoid it. Students also show high activity during the discussion process and have a better awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy social behavior. Conclusion: Education and counseling regarding promiscuity have proven to be effective in increasing the knowledge and awareness of SMA Negeri 1 Limboto students. Discussion methods supported by visual media are able to create an interactive learning process and improve student understanding. Ongoing health education activities are needed to help adolescents develop healthy, responsible behavior, and avoid the negative effects of promiscuity.
