Abstract

The development of culture-based tourism has emerged as a key strategy for enhancing the competitiveness of regional destinations, including Cirebon Regency. Gegesik was chosen as the research site due to its rich artistic and cultural heritage, yet it faces challenges such as the absence of representative tourism amenities and limited human resources in tourism management. This study aims to formulate a revitalization concept for the Gegesik town square as a cultural attraction center and to design a communication strategy for developing culture-based tourism at the national level. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, data were collected through documentation, field observations, in-depth interviews with community leaders and local officials, and focus group discussions with academics, artists, and agencies. Analysis employed a communication science perspective to examine interaction patterns, community participation, and message delivery. Findings reveal the square serves as a hub for cultural, artistic, religious, and social activities, with 74 intangible cultural heritage forms, 80 local culinary types, and active art studios. However, its physical condition requires revitalization based on local wisdom. The ACADA model (Assessment, Communication Analysis, Design, Action) guided the formulation of educational tourism programs such as school cultural visits. The study emphasizes combining physical revitalization with participatory communication to strengthen Gegesik’s image as a cultural tourism destination, with recommendations for consistent government support, community capacity building, and sustainable educational initiatives.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social construction of early marriage in Dompak Urban Village, Bukit Bestari Sub-District, Tanjungpinang City, by examining how community perceptions, norms, and interactions shape attitudes toward early marriage practices. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving community members, religious figures, and local stakeholders. Data were analyzed using the social construction theory to explore how shared meanings and collective agreements regarding early marriage are formed and maintained within the community. The findings reveal that early marriage in Dompak Village is socially constructed through continuous social interaction, where customary norms, religious interpretations of Islamic law, and collective values play a dominant role. The community perceives early marriage as a legitimate and even beneficial practice, often viewed as a destined match that serves both individual and collective interests. This social construction persists despite existing national marriage regulations that set minimum age requirements, indicating a tension between state law and local cultural-religious norms. The study concludes that early marriage in Dompak Village is sustained by a socially constructed reality rooted in shared beliefs and religious legitimacy rather than legal compliance. Therefore, stronger governmental engagement is required through consistent legal socialization, stricter regulation of marriage dispensations, and educational interventions emphasizing the importance of continued education and family well-being to prevent the normalization of early marriage practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze creative and adaptive marketing strategies implemented by wedding vendors in West Jakarta in response to increasingly competitive market dynamics. Specifically, the research seeks to examine how marketing strategies can address business challenges, enhance competitiveness, and support long-term sustainability within the wedding service industry. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study investigates four wedding vendors—Awen Catering, Ohana Enterprise, Alfa Kreasi, and David Entertainment—as the main research objects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats. The findings reveal that creativity and innovation in service offerings, high service quality, professional work practices, flexibility in responding to client needs, and the ability to adapt to competitive pressures are key determinants of effective marketing strategies. Moreover, the vendors’ capacity to identify market opportunities and deliver positive customer experiences significantly enhances brand awareness, customer trust, and market reach. The SWOT-based analysis demonstrates that adaptive marketing strategies enable wedding vendors to mitigate risks, overcome operational challenges, and strengthen their competitive positioning. In conclusion, the study highlights that well-designed, creative, and adaptive marketing strategies are essential for improving sales performance, sustaining customer relationships, and ensuring the long-term viability of wedding vendors in West Jakarta.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how natural disasters, particularly the eruption of Mount Merapi, impact policy-making in the natural tourism sector of Sleman Regency. Using qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review. The results show that the impacts of the Merapi disaster, such as environmental damage, socio-economic changes, loss of life, and economic paralysis, lead to the development of disaster policies in the tourism sector. The policy-making process is carried out in stages, including problem identification, needs analysis, goal formulation, policy model selection, social indicator determination, and building public support. The resulting policies include the establishment of Disaster Resilient Villages/Urban Villages (Destana/Kaltana), the use of the SI PANDU MERAPI application, the installation of an Early Warning System (EWS), and the training of tourism volunteers. These policies have increased community preparedness, restored tourist confidence, and boosted post-eruption visits. However, some impacts, such as damage to vehicle engines due to volcanic ash, have not yet been addressed through specific government policies. This study concludes that risk-based and participatory mitigation policies can strengthen the resilience of the tourism sector. However, they need to be complemented by more comprehensive policies to address all disaster impacts.

Abstract

This study analyzes how Indonesia’s 2024 Child Welfare Law frames state responsibility and employer obligations in addressing these needs through family-friendly workplace policies. Using a qualitative research design, the study applies a normative policy analysis supported by a comprehensive review of academic literature, policy documents, and relevant regulatory instruments related to child welfare, labor governance, and workplace standards. The findings indicate that the law positions lactation rooms and childcare facilities as essential policy instruments to ensure the fulfillment of children’s basic rights during early childhood while simultaneously promoting workforce productivity and parental work motivation. However, the analysis also reveals significant implementation gaps, particularly in small-scale enterprises and informal workplaces, where financial capacity, infrastructure limitations, and limited policy dissemination hinder compliance. These findings underscore that regulatory mandates alone are insufficient without complementary policy measures, including institutional coordination, technical guidance, and targeted support mechanisms. In conclusion, workplace lactation rooms and childcare facilities represent a critical component of inclusive labor and social policies aimed at strengthening human capital development. The study highlights the urgency of coordinated policy implementation and multi-stakeholder collaboration to achieve equitable, standardized, and sustainable outcomes across regions

Abstract

Most areas near the sea are highly vulnerable to flooding, both flash floods and flooding during heavy rains. When a natural disaster occurs, the most important thing to consider is disaster management and control. Post-flood disaster management is crucial to mitigate the impact and damage caused to victims, as well as the illnesses they suffer. Rapid preparation is crucial to reduce risk, damage, and impact. Government policy is a crucial component in assisting flood victims. A qualitative descriptive research approach was used in this study. To improve the accuracy of the research objectives and provide a clear picture of the phenomena or social realities studied, a qualitative descriptive study was chosen. A qualitative approach was used to collect descriptive data that can provide a detailed picture of disaster mitigation, such as prevention, mitigation, emergency response, and recovery. Direct interviews were used to obtain information related to disaster mitigation in overcoming the impact of flooding in Karanganyar Regency and Demak Regency with several informants, such as the Demak Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), the Karanganyar Regency Government, and the Village Government. Significant prevention through environmental and physical regulation and control. River normalization, such as river deepening and dredging, and river widening to restore strength. Meanwhile, work on the breached embankment is still incomplete. The Karanganyar Regency Government is working to prevent flooding by normalizing the river, such as deepening and dredging, and widening it to restore its strength.

Abstract

This study examines the strategies employed by the Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia (KRI) in Tawau to assist the children of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Sabah’s palm oil plantations in obtaining birth identity documents—a crucial requirement for citizenship status and access to basic social services. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through a literature review and in-depth interviews with consular officers and PMI families. The findings show that KRI Tawau has established a vision, mission, and objectives consistent with its mandate to protect Indonesian citizens abroad, particularly in securing the identity rights of migrant children. The Consulate implements outreach strategies, including public awareness campaigns on the importance of the Surat Bukti Pencatatan Kelahiran (SBPK), mobile consular services, and community-based cooperation, to reach families in remote plantation areas. These efforts have improved public awareness and expanded service coverage, although challenges persist, especially the incomplete administrative documents often held by migrant workers. Despite these constraints, KRI Tawau’s strengthened consular functions play a vital role in enhancing children’s access to identity documentation and improving their opportunities to obtain education, which remain limited under Malaysia’s migration and education policies. The study highlights the need for innovative and sustained consular services to protect the rights of migrant children.

Abstract

This study examines strategies for sustainable urban waste management through the implementation of the “Broh Jeut Keu Peng” (Waste Becomes Money) policy in Lhokseumawe City. Introduced through Qanun No. 1 of 2015 on Waste Management, the policy aims to address persistent challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, low community participation, and weak stakeholder coordination. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis to explore how the policy is being translated into practice. The findings reveal that despite having strong legal legitimacy, the policy remains in its early implementation phase. Benchmarking activities, such as visits to Banyumas, an area known for its advanced waste management system, have been conducted, but concrete actions in Lhokseumawe are still limited. The policy outlines four strategic components: (1) educational efforts promoting the 3R concept and environmental awareness grounded in local culture; (2) technical and infrastructural improvements, including strengthened TPS facilities, transportation fleets, and area-based TPS3R development; (3) economic incentives through waste banks, compost production, and reward-and-punishment mechanisms; and (4) collaborative engagement involving government bodies, community leaders, religious figures, the informal sector, and private stakeholders. In conclusion, the “Broh Jeut Keu Peng” policy holds strong potential for sustainable waste management, but its success requires effective implementation, improved facilities, consistent public education, and coordinated multi-actor collaboration.

Abstract

This study examines the democratic risks and governance challenges arising from the extension of village head tenure in Indonesia. While longer tenure is often justified as a means to ensure policy continuity and effective realization of development visions, excessive concentration of power may foster authoritarian tendencies and weaken democratic accountability at the village level. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study analyzes primary legal sources, particularly Law Number 3 of 2004 concerning amendments to Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages, complemented by secondary sources such as books, academic journals, theses, and dissertations. Data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative methods to explore the implications of extended tenure on local governance. The findings indicate that extending the village head’s term presents complex consequences, including increased risks of corruption, imbalanced control over economic and political resources, and reduced leadership rotation. Moreover, prolonged tenure may hinder policy innovation and encourage the emergence of political dynasties or oligarchic structures, thereby threatening democratic principles of inclusivity, fairness, and representation. The study concludes that without strong safeguards, tenure extension may undermine participatory governance and sustainable village development. Therefore, the research recommends limiting maximum tenure duration, strengthening transparency and accountability mechanisms, and reinforcing legal frameworks to ensure that village governance remains democratic, inclusive, and responsive to community needs.
