Abstract

The construction of high embankments on soft soil in the Patimban area, Subang, is associated with risks of long-term settlement and lateral deformation due to the soil’s high compressibility and low permeability. Inaccurate prediction of consolidation behavior may adversely affect construction schedules and post-construction infrastructure performance. This study aims to evaluate the consolidation behavior of soft soil through the integration of three approaches: analytical analysis based on Terzaghi’s consolidation theory, numerical modeling using PLAXIS 2D, and validation using field instrumentation data, including settlement plates, piezometers, and inclinometers. The results indicate that the predicted ultimate settlement of an 8.8 m high embankment is relatively consistent between the analytical method (yielding 1.110 m) and the numerical method (yielding 1.165 m). Under existing conditions with an embankment height of 2.762 m at 416 days, the measured settlement of 40 mm shows good agreement with the analytical prediction of 54 mm. Numerical modeling also successfully represents lateral deformation behavior, with a predicted lateral displacement of 28.56 mm, which is consistent with the inclinometer measurement of 26.10 mm. The consolidation time analysis reveals that, in the absence of ground improvement measures, the time required to reach 90% degree of consolidation (U??) is estimated to be approximately 42.8 years. This study confirms that integrating analytical, numerical, and field observational approaches enhances the accuracy of soft soil consolidation evaluation and provides a robust basis for technical decision-making regarding the necessity of consolidation acceleration in large-scale infrastructure projects

Abstract

The digitization of government administration has encouraged the management of civil servant data through a national personnel information system, but at the same time has increased the risk of misuse and sale of personal data. Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) emphasizes the obligation to protect data, including civil servant data, and regulates criminal sanctions for the unlawful acquisition and use of data. This study aims to analyze the suitability of the classification of ASN personal data according to Article 4 of the PDP Law with data management practices at the State Civil Service Agency and the Banten Provincial Civil Service Agency, as well as to examine the forms of criminal liability for the sale of ASN data based on Articles 65 and 67 of the PDP Law. This study uses a mixed method with a normative and empirical legal approach through analysis of legislation, criminal law doctrine, and in-depth interviews at the BKN and BKD Banten Province. The results of the study show that ASN data management practices are not yet fully in line with the data classification in the PDP Law, especially regarding access restrictions and data use control, making it difficult to prove the element of “without rights.” Nevertheless, the sale of ASN data still gives rise to individual criminal liability as an intentional offense. This study confirms that strengthening the governance of civil servant data and establishing a PDP supervisory agency are important prerequisites for the effective enforcement of criminal law on personal data protection.

Abstract

The receipt of goods that are not in accordance with the contract in government procurement is one of the main sources of state losses, contractual disputes, and legal uncertainty in the implementation of projects. Receiving officials, such as Commitment Making Officials (PPK), Work Results Recipients (PPHP), and technical teams, have inherent legal and administrative responsibilities in ensuring the suitability of specifications, quality, quantity, and delivery time of goods. This article discusses the form of administrative accountability when officials receive goods that are not in accordance with the contract, reviewed from the legal framework of government procurement, the principle of legal certainty, the principle of accountability, and the legal norms of state administration. Through a juridical-normative approach, this study examines the relationship between official authority, standard operating procedures (SOPs), the risk of administrative irregularities, and legal consequences such as administrative sanctions, compensation demands, and potential unlawful acts by the ruler (onrechtmatige overheidsdaad). The findings show that the receipt of goods not in accordance with the contract not only violates the provisions of the PBJ Presidential Regulation, but is also a failure to implement the principle of legal certainty and the principle of prudence, which can result in administrative accountability and even ASN discipline. This article recommends strengthening the technical verification mechanism, digital governance in the inspection of goods, and reformulation of SOPs for receipt of goods to prevent contract deviations.

Abstract

Abuse of authority by project officials in construction works constitutes one of the primary patterns of corruption in public funds management. In practice, numerous cases demonstrate that budget users, delegated budget users, and commitment-making officials bear responsibility not only for tender decisions but also for controlling contract implementation, quality supervision, contract amendments, and payment approvals—creating opportunities for irregularities that result in state financial losses. This study analyzes the juridical construction of abuse of authority by project officials (Penyalahgunaan Wewenang oleh Pejabat Proyek) from the perspective of criminal corruption law, particularly Article 3 of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001, in relation to the administrative framework under Law No. 30 of 2014 on Government Administration. Employing a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, it focuses on the Hambalang National Sport Training Center, e-KTP, and Banggai Laut Stadium projects. Findings reveal that (1) such abuse qualifies as corruption when involving deviation from authority's purpose, mens rea for undue benefit, and proven state losses; (2) boundaries between administrative misconduct and criminal corruption lack clear parameters; and (3) enforcement remains reactive, neglecting systemic governance improvements. Recommendations include clearer guidelines distinguishing errors from abuse, stronger oversight, and reforms to prevent corruption while protecting good-faith officials.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the efforts of the Class II A Sidoarjo Correctional Institution in implementing special guidance for narcotics-inmate users as an effort to prevent recidivism. The research uses an empirical juridical approach by examining the implementation of inmate coaching based on the provisions of Law Number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections. Data were obtained through interviews with correctional officers, observations, and supporting literature. The results of the study show that the coaching system at the Class II A Sidoarjo Correctional Institution includes personality development, work guidance, religious coaching, and social reintegration preparation. Although coaching has generally been running in accordance with regulations, several obstacles are still found, such as overcapacity, limited facilities, and shortage of human resources. These obstacles affect the optimal implementation of coaching programs aimed at reducing the risk of narcotics inmates repeating criminal acts. To strengthen the effectiveness of coaching, improvement in infrastructure, officer professionalism, and cooperation with external stakeholders are needed.

Abstract

Workplace accidents in Indonesia's construction projects remain a critical legal and social issue. When incidents occur, public attention often focuses on contractors, while the criminal liability of supervisory consultants receives limited scholarly attention. This article analyzes the basis of criminal liability of supervisory consultants through the principle of culpa in supervisione  (negligence in supervision) under Law No. 2 of 2017 on Construction Services, Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012 on the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3), and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) Regulation on Construction Safety Management System (SMKK). The study adopts a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches with references from 2020–2025 literature. The results show that supervisory consultants may be criminally liable if proven negligent in fulfilling their supervisory duties and if their negligence has a causal connection with a workplace accident. The article introduces a three-layer compliance model (normative, technical, and evidential) as a preventive framework for minimizing criminal risks. The findings provide theoretical and practical implications for policymakers and construction professionals to strengthen accountability within Indonesia's construction law framework.

Abstract

Building failure is a multidimensional problem in the construction sector that includes aspects of agreements, technical performance, and civil consequences. This study examines legal arrangements related to building failures in Indonesia, reads the pattern of accountability in a number of Supreme Court decisions, and contrasts it with international practice. The research was conducted through the search for regulations, court decisions, and academic literature as the basis for normative analysis. The findings show that the absence of uniform technical investigation procedures, weak project documentation, and differences in expert approaches also trigger differences in verdicts. As a new contribution, this study introduces the Building Failure Integrated Analysis Model (MAT-KB) which combines contract analysis, tort principles, forensic evaluation, and economic considerations to strengthen the accuracy and consistency of dispute resolution. This model is considered to be able to provide a more comprehensive evaluation framework for construction law practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

Commitment Making Officials (PPK) play a crucial role in the entire cycle of Government Procurement of Goods/Services (PBJP) in Indonesia, starting from planning, contract binding, to handing over work results. This strategic position, which is always related to decision-making with implications for state budget spending, makes the PPK very vulnerable to legal risks, both in the form of contract disputes, maladministration, and alleged corruption. This research aims to analyze the authority and responsibilities of the PPK in the PBJP and formulate a strategy for optimizing governance and legal protection for the PPK to prevent irregularities and minimize potential state losses. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that optimizing the role of PPK requires: strengthening managerial and legal competence; structuring of work mechanisms that are more accountable and transparent; and the formation of a professional support team (legal, technical, and financial) as an instrument to mitigate legal and financial risks for the PPK in the implementation of the PBJP contract.

Abstract

The Boschbouw area is one of the heritage landscapes of forestry education from the Dutch East Indies colonial era, shaped by various historical dynamics of functions in Madiun City. Despite its historical value, the region has suffered from visual degradation, functional fragmentation, and loss of identity readability. This research aims to examine the historical dynamics, spatial character, visual quality, and potential for sustainable use of the area. The research method employs a mixed approach, drawing on primary sources from direct observation of four main aspects—ecology, economy and efficiency, equity and safety, as well as aesthetics—and secondary sources including document data, literature, and community perception questionnaires. The results of the analysis show that the area still retains its core elements, but the quality of the space has decreased due to development pressures, dysfunctional irregularities, and a lack of management integration. The analysis emphasizes that the area has strategic value for utilization, supported by historical attractions, creative economic potential, and high public acceptance. This study concludes that utilization should be directed toward strengthening regional identity to develop the Boschbouw area as an adaptive and sustainable landscape.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the limitations of existing copyright regulations (Law 28/2014, 40/1999, 32/2002) which create a regulatory vacuum on the inequality of publisher rights as well as the juridical implications of Presidential Regulation 32/2024 on the responsibility of digital platforms to support quality journalism. Using normative legal methods with legal, conceptual, comparative (Australia-EU) approaches, and triangulation of Rawls's theory, Lex Specialis (Manan), Suzor through qualitative literature studies. The results of the study show that Presidential Regulation 32/2024 as a lex specialis legitimately operationalizes publisher rights via distribution priority (Article 5), revenue sharing of Rp105 trillion (Article 7), the oversight committee of the Press Council (Articles 9-17), revolutionizing the platform capitalism into collaborative co-regulation. The novelty of the research lies in the first Rawls-Lex Specialis-Suzor Triangulation analyzing Presidential Decree 32/2024 as Indonesia's digital constitutionalism fills the gap in the conventional copyright literature against algorithmic governance.
