Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of alcoholic beverage (liquor) consumption among teenagers and to identify both preventive and repressive efforts in addressing such behavior in Moyag Todulan Village, Kotamobagu Timur Subdistrict, Kotamobagu City. The phenomenon of alcohol consumption among teenagers shows a worrying trend, marked by an increase in juvenile delinquency, fights, and social disturbances that concern the community. This research used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method and data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that alcohol consumption leads to various negative effects such as physical health issues, dependency, declining academic performance, and even law violations. Contributing factors include social environmental influences, lack of parental supervision, and low awareness among teenagers regarding the dangers of alcohol. Mitigation efforts are carried out through preventive measures like public awareness campaigns and repressive actions such as law enforcement and rehabilitation programs. This research recommends the active involvement of all elements, including parents, schools, and the government, in creating an environment free from the negative influence of alcohol to ensure a better future for the youth.

Abstract

This research aims to examine public perceptions of the influence of money politics during the 2024 General Elections (Pemilu) in Tangkobu Village, Paguyaman Subdistrict, Boalemo Regency. Money politics is a recurring phenomenon in Indonesia's democratic processes, particularly during elections. Such practices can influence voter preferences and undermine the integrity of elections that are meant to be fair and honest. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The informants include eligible voters, community leaders, and village-level election organizers in Tangkobu Village. The findings reveal that most community members are aware of the occurrence of money politics in the 2024 General Elections and perceive it as commonplace or even culturally ingrained, despite recognizing its detrimental effects on the quality of democracy. The main contributing factors to the public's acceptance of money politics include economic vulnerability, low levels of political education, and weak law enforcement. These findings suggest the need for improved political education, as well as stronger oversight and enforcement mechanisms to reduce money politics in future elections.

Abstract

his study aims to examine the political behavior of first-time voters regarding the 2024 Presidential Election in Olimeyala Village, Biluhu Sub-District, Gorontalo Regency. This study is motivated by the low level of political participation among first-time voters in the presidential election. The findings show that the political behavior of first-time voters in Olimeyala Village is influenced by several factors, such as a lack of understanding of democracy, limited political participation, and insufficient awareness of rights and obligations as citizens. This study is expected to contribute to efforts in increasing the political participation of first-time voters and to building awareness of the importance of democracy in society. This study examines the political behavior of first-time voters regarding the 2024 Presidential Election in Olimeyala Village. The findings also indicate that the level of participation among first-time voters is influenced by sociological, psychological, and rational choice factors. Sociological factors, such as social structure, norms, and social interaction, play a significant role in influencing access to political information and opportunities for participation. Psychological factors, including motivation, political awareness, personal experience, self-confidence, and understanding of rights and obligations, also determine their participation in the democratic process. Meanwhile, the rational choice approach shows that first-time voters in the village make political decisions logically based on the candidates' vision, mission, capabilities, and integrity. The inhibiting factors of political awareness among first-time voters include limited political education, lack of effective socialization, and political apathy. Therefore, it is expected that a more democratic, just, prosperous, and stable society can be fostered in Olimeyala Village. Furthermore, this study contributes to the theory of political behavior and democratic participation and provides recommendations for election organizers and the government to improve the quality of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the governance of the Pasar Sentral in Kota Selatan Subdistrict, Gorontalo City, after its revitalization. The background of this research stems from the market's previous condition, which was rundown and disorganized, prompting the Gorontalo City Government to carry out a revitalization project. However, despite the revitalization efforts, issues such as low visitor numbers, limited access to clean water, as well as drainage and sanitation problems, remain major concerns. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews with representatives from the Department of Industry and Trade, market vendors, and the community, as well as documentation. The findings indicate that market governance includes planning, implementation, and supervision in accordance with Henry Fayol's management theory. Nevertheless, challenges persist in the implementation, particularly regarding facility management, the retribution system, and the involvement of vendors in decision-making processes. In conclusion, the revitalization has not fully resolved the market's underlying problems. Strengthened coordination between the government and market stakeholders, along with improvements to supporting infrastructure, are needed to transform the market into a more attractive shopping center for the community.

The core values instilled include honesty, independence, and responsibility. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation with teachers, principals, and students. The results showed that the implementation of anti-corruption education in this school had a positive influence on changing students' attitudes and behavior, particularly in increasing their moral awareness and ethical behavior. However, its implementation still faces several obstacles, including limited resources, resistance to change from some teachers and students, and a school culture that does not fully support anti-corruption values. Therefore, support from all school elements is essential to optimize the role of anti-corruption education in developing students' character with resilience and integrity. The conclusion of this study indicates that although anti-corruption education has begun to be implemented and has had a positive impact on student behavior, its success still depends on comprehensive support from the school, teachers, and the surrounding community. Increased resources and strengthening of a school culture that supports anti-corruption values are needed for optimal implementation of this education.
