Abstract

This study aims to explore the practices of transformational leadership implemented by the principal, who concurrently holds the role of a guidance and counseling teacher at SMPN 3 Cikembar, within the context of Education 4.0.  The main focus of this study is to understand how these leadership practices are implemented, the factors that support their success, and their impact on the school's readiness to face digital challenges and educational innovation in the era of 4.0. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving the principal, teachers, and students as key informants. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the principal applies seven forms of transformative leadership, including modeling, inspiration, giving appreciation, supporting creativity, discussion forums, empathy for school members, and digitizing learning. The success of these practices is supported by personal commitment, a background in guidance and counseling, the ability to handle multiple tasks, and collegial support from teachers. In conclusion, humanistic-based transformative leadership can create a collaborative and adaptive school environment. This study recommends ongoing training/workshops, inter-school collaboration systems, and a humanistic approach to educational leadership to effectively address the challenges of the 4.0 era.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial management model of villages through the principles of good governance. The research methodology uses a qualitative method with a case study design, data collection through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data validity is ensured through triangulation of sources and data collection methods. The research informants consist of 17 individuals, including the Village Secretary, Village Treasurer, Village Council, Village Consultative Body, Department of Village Community Empowerment, Inspectorate, and Village Community. Data analysis includes data collection, data display, data condensation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The research findings indicate that accountability is in place, but it is not accompanied by a strong commitment from the Village Head. Community participation focuses on the results of development rather than monitoring or supervising budget use. The use of the village website for financial transparency is still minimal. In terms of the rule of law, there is still non-compliance with regulations in village financial management, necessitating the concept of preventive oversight. The limitations of this study are related to the key informant, the Village Head of Kapas, who could not be interviewed due to legal proceedings, and the study did not include aspects of equality, vision, strategy, responsiveness, and consensus-oriented principles in village financial management. These limitations can serve as recommendations for future research. The implications of this study are the development of concepts for financial management in village governance in Indonesia

Abstract

This study analyzes the operational role of the Sleman SAR Standby Unit (USS Sleman) in conducting search and rescue (SAR) operations and identifies the supporting and inhibiting factors that affect its effectiveness within the local disaster management system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Bruce J. Biddle’s (1986) role theory is applied as the analytical framework, focusing on five components: expectations, norms, performance, evaluation, and sanctions, with additional consideration of contextual factors such as regulatory frameworks, disaster risk characteristics, and organizational capacity. The findings show that USS Sleman performs under well-defined institutional expectations and established national SOPs, reinforced by informal team norms such as discipline and trust. As a first responder and initial field coordinator, the unit plays a vital role in early-stage SAR operations and stakeholder coordination. Despite its generally effective performance, the unit faces several challenges, including limited specialized equipment, logistical constraints, and coordination gaps among agencies. This study contributes to the disaster management literature by offering a role-based operational analysis of a local SAR unit, a topic rarely explored in previous research. It underscores the importance of enhancing institutional capacity, improving inter-agency collaboration, and adapting policies to increase SAR responsiveness and strengthen community resilience in high-risk areas.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the e-ticketing policy cycle implemented by the North Musi Rawas Resort Police. From planning, drafting, and approval to the implementation of electronic public services. Exploring the supporting and hindering factors in the implementation of electronic public service policies within the North Musi Rawas Police Department. Providing strategic recommendations for optimizing policies and implementation stages of electronic public services in the future. This research is motivated by various problems encountered in the implementation of e-ticketing. Using the policy cycle theory of Hupe and Hill and qualitative methods, data was collected thru interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results show that there are still people who have a poor understanding of the e-ticketing policy, namely the Suku Anak Dalam community. This presents a unique challenge for the North Musi Rawas Resort Police. The researchers also found that although e-ticketing improves traffic efficiency and compliance, there are technical constraints such as internet signal disruptions and manual administrative procedures that need to be addressed. And there are obstacles. This application makes it easier to identify violations and deters offenders, but technology and administrative integration must be improved to optimize its benefits.

Abstract

According to data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), Indonesia’s waste generation increases annually in line with population growth, with projections reaching 70.8 million tons by 2025. Waste management has therefore become a critical issue, as inadequate handling may generate significant negative impacts on both the environment and society. Previous studies indicate that the operation of Waste Banks in Sungailiat City remains suboptimal, even though these institutions play a crucial role in the success of municipal waste management. This study emphasizes the urgency of strengthening the role of Waste Banks within the formal waste management system as a strategy to optimize policy implementation. The research aims to examine how the implementation of waste management policies can be optimized through the empowerment of Waste Banks in Sungailiat City. A descriptive method with a quasi-qualitative approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observation, documentation, and secondary data analysis of local waste management regulations. Policy implementation theory (communication, resources, bureaucracy, and disposition) was used as an analytical framework and compared against the empirical realities of Waste Bank practices in Sungailiat. The findings reveal that human resource capacity building, funding diversification, network strengthening, supportive policies with incentives, and technology utilization are key drivers for ensuring the sustainability and advancement of Waste Banks.

Abstract

The issue of used clothing, or trifling, has become a significant concern for the government and the wider public today, both in social and print media. This study analyzes the impact of the policy banning the sale of used clothing at Gedebage Market, Bandung, which was implemented to protect the local textile industry and reduce textile waste. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as interviews and documentation studies, the findings of this study found that the policy banning the trifling trade had a significant impact on various aspects of life. Economically, traders experienced a decrease in income and some were forced to close their businesses. Socially, people lost access to affordable clothing and resistance emerged. From a political perspective, there was debate about the fairness of the policy and the lack of public involvement in its formulation, which directly impacted traders. Meanwhile, from an environmental perspective, this policy is considered to have positive potential in reducing textile waste, although it still requires further policy support such as the provision of facilities. This study recommends various participatory and inclusive policy evaluations in the implementation of policies related to the ban on trifling in the Cimol Gedebage market in Bandung City, by considering several aspects of balance, including the economic interests of the community and environmental sustainability that encourage efforts not to marginalize traders who sell used clothes in the Cimol Gedebage market in Bandung City.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze strategies for strengthening public engagement in monitoring the development of integrity zones as an effort to improve local governance. A qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews and documentary analysis, with research conducted in Solok City and Padang Panjang City, West Sumatra Province. The findings indicate that public participation in monitoring integrity zones remains limited and largely relies on informal mechanisms. Traditional leaders play a crucial role in disseminating information and encouraging compliance with integrity policies, although their involvement is not yet fully supported by a strong legal framework. Strengthening their role through formal regulations could enhance the effectiveness of public participation. Moreover, broader community involvement has the potential to reduce corruption, promote transparency, and reinforce accountability in local governance. This study contributes by providing empirical insights into how local social structures can be leveraged to support public oversight and by offering practical recommendations for policymakers to enhance governance through the synergy between formal and informal actors.

Abstract

Permasalahan kemiskinan telah menjadi isu sosial yang akan selalu hadir dalam setiap negara. Khususnya di Indonesia, meskipun sejumlah kebijakan telah dibuat untuk menurunkan tingkat kemiskinan, namun dalam pelaksanaannya masih terdapat kendala yang belum dapat diatasi. Pendekatan studi kasus Creswell dengan metode kualitatif dijelaskan untuk menguraikan permasalahan kolaborasi suprastruktur politik dalam mengatasi persoalan kemiskinan di Indonesia. Teori yang digunakan yaitu suprastruktur politik dari Almond and Coleman, dan Kemiskinan dari Amartya Sen. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa permasalahan pengentasan kemiskinan muncul karena minimnya koordinasi antar lembaga yang dipicu oleh ego sektoral, sehingga pelaksanaan program-program pengentasan kemiskinan tidak mencapai hasil yang optimal. Temuan analisis mengenai hubungan kerja sama suprastruktur politik dalam penanggulangan kemiskinan di Indonesia adalah: 1) Ketidakselarasan kerja sama antar lembaga suprastruktur politik dalam mengatasi kemiskinan; dan 2) Kompleksitas birokrasi yang berlarut-larut menyebabkan kesulitan para aktor suprastruktur politik dalam mengambil keputusan yang tepat dan efisien. Sementara itu, situasi kemiskinan di Indonesia mencakup beberapa permasalahan seperti: 1) Keterbatasan sumber daya pada suprastruktur politik yang menghambat kapasitas masyarakat; dan 2) Penurunan partisipasi masyarakat akibat ketidakpuasan terhadap pelayanan yang diberikan oleh suprastruktur politik.
