Abstract

The number of Women with Socioeconomic Vulnerability (WRSE) in South Kalimantan Province is still quite high, so an empowerment program was implemented by the Social Rehabilitation Center for the Disadvantaged in Social Barakat Cangkal Bacari (PRSTS BCB) aimed at increasing their independence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the WRSE empowerment process, as well as to determine the supporting and inhibiting factors in the empowerment. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews conducted with 12 informants for 4 months, and documentation. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the empowerment theory of The Three Principal Outcome-Focused Goals of Helping. The results showed that WRSE empowerment had gone well and met three empowerment indicators, namely: Life-enhancing outcomes for the client seen from socialization; selection and identification; assessment approach; and business capital assistance. Learning how to help oneself seen from skills guidance, entrepreneurship, and internship placement. Developing a prevention mentality seen from mental, social and religious guidance. The supporting factors for the program include 1) a mentality that does not give up easily, 2) professional instructors, 3) effective handling methods, 4) support from the family. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include: 1) limited budget, 2) limited human resources, 3) minimal information at the sub-district/village level, 4) lack of self-confidence, and 5) difficulty in accessing capital. Recommendations for further research are to explore the impact of empowerment on ex-clients.

Abstract

This study aims to explain and provide a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed by the two candidate pairs for Regent and Deputy Regent in the 2024 Pilkada campaign in Rembang Regency, using Erving Goffman’s Dramaturgy Theory approach. This research adopts a qualitative method, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources.  Primary data were collected through observations of five posts on the Instagram accounts of both candidates. The author observed these accounts over two months, from the beginning of the campaign period on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, to Saturday, November 23, 2024. Secondary data were gathered through literature studies, including journal articles, e-proceedings, and books, which served as additional sources. The collected data were then analyzed using the Dramaturgy Theory framework.  The analysis reveals that both candidate pairs actively construct their public image on social media, particularly on Instagram. Their primary objective is to highlight their religious identity to gain public sympathy in Rembang Regency. Their campaign strategy involves engaging with local Kiai and Ulama—positions they adopt as Santri within the Dramaturgy framework—and showcasing these interactions on Instagram, a key political communication platform. This approach aims to strengthen their positive reputation in a predominantly religious society, thereby enhancing their public image among the people of Rembang Regency.

Abstract

The digital transformation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pangandaran Regency faces several challenges, including limited technological understanding, market access constraints, and financial limitations. To address these challenges, state-owned enterprises (BUMN) and private sector entities have initiated training and coaching programs to empower digital-based MSMEs. However, comparative studies on the effectiveness of these initiatives remain limited. This study aims to (1) assess the impact of training and coaching on the performance of MSMEs supported by BUMN, (2) evaluate the impact of similar programs on MSMEs assisted by the private sector, and (3) analyze the differences in their effectiveness. Employing a descriptive comparative method with a quantitative approach, this study surveyed two MSME groups: those assisted by BUMN and those supported by private enterprises. The findings indicate that training programs conducted by BUMN significantly enhance MSME performance, while private sector training has a positive but statistically insignificant impact. Conversely, coaching activities provided by private companies exhibit a stronger influence on MSME performance compared to BUMN. Although differences exist between the two groups, they are not statistically significant. These findings highlight the need for optimizing training and coaching methodologies across sectors to maximize MSME empowerment. Future research should explore additional influencing factors and incorporate qualitative approaches for deeper insights.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of Ad Hoc election bodies in the implementation of General Elections in Luwu Regency, as well as to identify the challenges encountered throughout the election process. The research adopts a normative-empirical legal method, employing statutory, historical, comparative, and conceptual approaches. Data were collected through the examination of primary and secondary legal materials, which were systematically analyzed to address legal issues and practical conditions in the field. The findings reveal that Ad Hoc election bodies play a crucial and decisive role in ensuring the success and credibility of electoral processes. However, their legal status and authority are not yet explicitly and comprehensively regulated under Law Number 7 of 2017 on General Elections. Furthermore, budget limitations significantly affect various aspects of election administration, including the training of election officers, the quality of logistical arrangements, and the integrity of vote casting and counting processes. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the existing law to reinforce the legal framework governing Ad Hoc election bodies and ensure adequate budget allocation to support an efficient, transparent, and accountable election process. Legal protections must also be strengthened to prevent any form of intervention or intimidation against Ad Hoc election bodies during all election stages.

Abstract

This research aims to discuss the local government's strategy in developing the tourist attraction of Lhok Bubon Beach, West Aceh Regency. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results of this study indicate that the local government strategy in developing the tourist attraction of Lhok Bubon Beach has been carried out but has not run optimally. This can be seen from the first indicator, namely attractions; the attraction possessed by Lhok Bubon Beach is extraordinary natural beauty, still maintaining cultural values, lack of information and promotion of historical relics and creating and improving artificial tourism conditions. Second accessibility; the ease of getting to the location of Lhok Bubon Beach can be accessed through google maps, there are direction boards, access roads that have been asphalted around ± 250 metres, but to get to the end of the beach is still difficult to pass, internet network conditions are not optimal and there are still livestock roaming the streets. Third, amenity; the facilities available at Lhok Bubon Beach are still not optimal due to the unavailability of various important facilities that support the tourist experience. Fourth, institutions; the village government has a cooperative relationship with other institutions, but there is still a lack of effective collaboration to develop beach tourism objects. The conclusion of this study shows that although there are efforts in developing the tourist attraction of Lhok Bubon Beach, there are still many aspects that need to be improved so that tourism potential can be maximized.
