Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting increasingly used in digital services such as recommendation systems, scoring engines, and conversational agents, thus prompting important issues concerning consumer protection. The present study maps the research domain of consumer protection in AI by means of bibliometrics on the Scopus database. Search was conducted in one database using title/abstract/keyword terms, which returned 3,307 documents (retrieval date: 27 June 2026). These documents were filtered based on titles to identify the works that explicitly focused on consumer protection in AI, yielding a core of 192 documents that were published in 2018-2026. Bibliometric analysis of the core was conducted to analyze its output display, document types, sources, citation impact, influential documents, authors, and open access. The annual growth rate of output display has been consistently high, rising from few papers before 2020 to 63 documents in 2025. Unlike other research fields, this set of consumer protection-related publications is primarily represented by journal articles (44.8%) and not conference papers (37.5%). 192 documents have been published in 155 sources by 603 authors and received a total of 1,542 citations, amounting to an average of 8 citations per paper and corpus h-index of 19, the most productive source being IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics. Most of the highly cited papers address such topics as consumer trust and privacy, fairness and explainability, ethical use of consumer data, and protection of consumers from malicious AI pricing. 23.4% of the corpus is open access. The results show that the research area is relatively new, actively developing and fragmented but thematically consistent. It provides researchers and policymakers with empirical foundation, including in countries like Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has given rise to cyber begging, a phenomenon whereby individuals exploit digital platforms to solicit financial assistance from the public, often through systematic manipulation of digital empathy. This study aims to analyze the regulatory gaps within Indonesia's criminal law system concerning cyber begging practices and to formulate an ideal criminal policy response. Employing normative legal research through statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches, this study finds that Indonesia's National Criminal Code (Law No. 1/2023) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (Law No. 1/2024) fail to comprehensively address the characteristics of cyber begging based on digital empathy exploitation. The essence of cyber begging as a legal problem lies in four core elements: narrative manipulation, empathy exploitation, information asymmetry, and systematic economic orientation. This study proposes a multi-layered regulation model integrating preventive, administrative, and selective penal approaches grounded in the ultimum remedium principle. Criminalization should be restricted to cyber begging involving information manipulation, exploitation of vulnerable groups, and use of false identities, while honest and transparent solicitation of assistance should remain outside the scope of criminal law.

Abstract

This study maps the global scholarly landscape connecting e-commerce, the digital economy, and economic development, and identifies the field's intellectual structure, geographic centres, leading contributors, dominant themes, and emerging research frontiers over the period 2010–2026. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 2,097 documents retrieved from Scopus, using metadata that included author affiliations and cited references. Performance analysis (annual output, productivity of authors, sources, and countries, and citation impact) was combined with science-mapping techniques: country collaboration networks, document co-citation, bibliographic coupling, keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, thematic evolution, a three-field plot, and trend-topic detection. Authors were disambiguated by Scopus identifier, and countries were extracted from affiliations. Annual output grew at roughly 15% per year, accelerating after 2019. The field is highly fragmented at author level (no author exceeds five documents) yet sharply concentrated geographically: China alone accounts for 937 of 2,097 documents, ahead of India, Indonesia, Russia, and the United States, although Chinese output is predominantly domestic (15% internationally co-authored) whereas US and UK output is majority-international and far more highly cited per paper. Co-citation analysis reveals three intellectual bases a behavioural/methodological base (technology-acceptance and survey-method classics), a digital-economy concept base, and an empirical e-commerce/rural-China base while bibliographic coupling identifies a single dominant research front of tightly linked digital-economy studies. Keyword and thematic analyses confirm a transversal e-commerce/digital-economy core surrounded by digital-transformation, rural-China, and artificial-intelligence clusters, with the field migrating toward cross-border, sustainable, and AI-enabled commerce. The paper offers an integrated, reproducible synthesis of a rapidly expanding literature, combining geographic, intellectual, and conceptual structure in a single study, and articulates a structured agenda for future inquiry.

Abstract

This study aims to implement the ecological values embedded in the Jagapati Bumi myth for fifth-grade students at SD N 1 Banyuasri through learning activities under the theme Love the Earth. The study employed a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative method was used to identify and describe the ecological values contained in the Jagapati Bumi myth, while the quantitative method was employed to examine the effectiveness of implementing these ecological values in improving students' understanding of how to care for the Earth. Data on the ecological values were collected through intensive reading of the Jagapati Bumi myth, followed by identifying and analyzing the ecological values embedded in the narrative. Data on the effectiveness of implementing these ecological values were collected through observation, documentation, and tests. The qualitative data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were analyzed using inferential statistics, specifically the t-test. The findings revealed six major ecological values embedded in the Jagapati Bumi myth: ecological balance, conservation and sustainability, environmental ethics and responsibility, the spirituality and sacredness of nature, local wisdom, and biodiversity. Furthermore, the implementation of these ecological values proved effective in enhancing students' understanding of how to care for the Earth. This was evidenced by the results of the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, which yielded a test statistic of 336.5 with a p-value of 0.0000000312 (well below 0.05). These findings indicate a highly significant difference between the students' pre-test and post-test scores.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of STEAM-based music and dance learning using a sound–motion mapping approach on the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 24 children from a kindergarten in Makassar, Indonesia, divided into an experimental group (n = 12) and a control group (n = 12). Data were collected through structured observation and gross motor performance tests covering locomotor skills, stability skills, and movement synchronization with rhythm and tempo. The research instrument was validated and demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.79). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an Independent Samples t-test. The results show that children who participated in STEAM-based music and dance learning with the sound–motion mapping approach achieved significantly higher gross motor scores than those who received conventional music and dance instruction. The experimental group obtained a mean post-test score of 22.33, whereas the control group achieved a mean score of 13.58. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups (t = 6.558, p < 0.001). The findings suggest that integrating music and dance through sound–motion mapping effectively enhances movement coordination, balance, body control, and motor timing, supporting the development of gross motor skills in early childhood through a structured multisensory STEAM learning experience.

Abstract

This study aims to analyses the implementation of network governance in poverty alleviation policies and formulate institutional strategies that can strengthen the effectiveness of this approach. This research was conducted using qualitative methods involving key informants from the TKPKD Team in Bone Regency and Makassar City, which are two areas with high poverty rates in South Sulawesi. This study found that coordination and collaboration between actors has not been effective, with policy formulation still dominated by government actors. Therefore, the success of this approach is highly dependent on the extent to which the principles of network governance can be institutionalized in the institutional system. The practical implication of this study is the need for a more adaptive institutional strategy, based on cross-actor collaboration and oriented towards local needs, to improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation in these two regions.

Abstract

Digital SMEs increasingly process customer data through social media, marketplaces, digital payment systems, and other online applications, yet privacy compliance often remains informal and inconsistently embedded in daily operations. This study examines how technological, organizational, and environmental conditions influence privacy policy compliance through compliance readiness and Business Process Management capability. Its novelty lies in integrating the TOE framework, organizational readiness, and BPM capability within a sequential mediation model, thereby explaining how contextual conditions are converted into operational compliance practices. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 174 owners, managers, and staff of Indonesian digital SMEs selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS, including measurement model assessment, bootstrapping with 5,000 resamples, and predictive relevance testing. The results show that TOE Factors strongly influence Compliance Readiness and also improve BPM Capability. Compliance Readiness positively affects both BPM Capability and Privacy Policy Compliance, while BPM Capability further strengthens Privacy Policy Compliance. The model explains 54.9% of the variance in privacy policy compliance. The indirect effects through Compliance Readiness, BPM Capability, and their sequential combination were all significant. These findings indicate that favorable technology, organizational support, and environmental pressure do not automatically produce consistent privacy practices. Digital SMEs must first develop internal readiness and then translate that readiness into documented, monitored, and repeatable business processes. The study concludes that sustainable privacy compliance is best understood as a capability-building process rather than merely a regulatory or technological response.

Abstract

Indonesia’s tourism sector has significant economic, socio-cultural, and environmental potentials, but its sustainable development is constrained by fragmented governance, overlapping institutional mandates, uneven regional capacity, and limited stakeholder participation. Prior studies have largely explored decentralisation, destination governance, stakeholder collaboration, and sustainable tourism separately, leaving a critical gap in understanding how the fragmentation of governance operates across administrative levels, sectors, political periods, and geographical areas simultaneously. This study addresses this gap through a mixed-methods design combining bibliometric analysis, qualitative thematic synthesis, and stakeholder validation. Using bibliometric and thematic analyses of 165 articles retrieved from the Scopus database, we mapped the intellectual structure of tourism governance research and identified the main drivers, dimensions, consequences, and mechanisms of governance integration. The review findings were then contextualised and validated through semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected key informants with relevant expertise in Indonesian tourism governance. The findings identify four interlinked dimensions of governance fragmentation, namely vertical policy misalignment, horizontal and cross-sectoral fragmentation, temporal policy discontinuity, and spatial inequality in tourism development. Add to these dimensions overlapping regulations, unclear institutional responsibilities, varying institutional capacities, fragmented tourism data systems, competing stakeholder interests, and limited opportunities for meaningful community participation. The study proposes an Integrated Sustainable Tourism Governance Framework that focuses on policy coherence, multi-level coordination, institutional role clarity, stakeholder co-creation, interoperable data systems, policy continuity, and adaptive accountability. The framework provides theoretically sound and contextually sensitive guidance for enhancing inclusive, resilient and sustainable tourism development in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe in depth the conditions of employee competency, work motivation, and work environment at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Kalimantan Barat (UNU Kalbar) and their relationship with employee performance, while identifying factors that need to be strengthened as a foundation for developing a Key Performance Indicator (KPI)-based performance measurement system. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with three informants selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that: (1) employee competency still requires improvement, particularly in IT skills and proactive attitudes, as well as the absence of competency-development training for employees; (2) work motivation is affected by suboptimal fulfillment of physiological needs; (3) the physical work environment is not yet optimal, however interpersonal relationships are harmonious; (4) employee performance has not fully met institutional expectations; and (5) UNU Kalbar has not yet formally implemented a KPI system. As a practical contribution, this study proposes an Aswaja-Integrated KPI Model (KPI-ASWAJA), cascaded across organizational, unit, and individual levels and meeting SMART criteria, as a basis for implementing a performance measurement system at UNU Kalbar.

Abstract

Digital talent management (DTM) discussion in the digital transformation process is gaining attention. This study intends to identify the theoretical, context, characteristic, and methodological (TCCM) contributions of prior research on DTM. This research utilized a Systematic Literature Review approach with PRISMA Protocols and TCCM framework analysis and Watase Uake as data processing tools. The findings indicate that DTM is a strategic capability discourse; predominantly occurred within organizational, business, and industry-specific contexts, and operated as an Input-Process-Output System. Further evidence shows an AI paradox and the prevalence of quantitative approaches. Future research should shift from organizational-centric models towards collaborative ecosystem frameworks.
