Abstract

This study examines the implementation of work-from-home (WFH) arrangements in Indonesian immigration public service delivery through the lens of street-level bureaucracy. The study is situated within the 2026 policy context, in which WFH was introduced as a crisis-responsive governance measure to reduce mobility, support energy efficiency, and maintain public-sector productivity amid global energy uncertainty. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, this study combines document analysis of national and sectoral WFH regulations with non-participant observation of frontline immigration service practices in five Immigration Offices in Jabodetabek. The findings show that WFH in immigration services cannot be applied uniformly because immigration work combines administrative service, legal authority, identity verification, public interaction, and state security functions. Remote work is suitable for administrative and document-based tasks, while biometric capture, passport interviews, detention management, immigration checkpoints, and enforcement functions require physical presence. The study concludes that WFH should be governed as a controlled hybrid mechanism supported by task classification, digital supervision, data protection, output-based accountability, and service-continuity safeguards.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the concept of asset confiscation in corruption offenses and to examine its position within the criminal punishment system under Indonesian criminal law. Corruption is widely recognized as a crime that generates significant harm to state finances, governmental stability, and public trust in state institutions. In the development of modern criminal law, anti-corruption efforts are no longer solely oriented toward punishing offenders but also toward eliminating the economic benefits obtained from criminal activities through asset confiscation mechanisms. This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal sources in the form of legislation related to corruption eradication and criminal procedure law, as well as secondary legal materials including academic literature, journal articles, and scholarly opinions relevant to asset confiscation and criminal policy. The findings reveal that asset confiscation in corruption cases should not merely be viewed as an additional punishment within the criminal sanction system, but also as a strategic instrument of criminal policy aimed at eliminating illicit economic gains while facilitating the recovery of state financial losses. Strengthening the mechanism of asset confiscation is therefore essential to enhance the effectiveness of anti-corruption policies and to ensure that corruption does not generate economic benefits for offenders.

Abstract

The digitalisation of public financial management in Indonesia has progressed through the development of integrated financial information systems, including the Sistem Aplikasi Keuangan Tingkat Instansi (SAKTI) at the work-unit level. This article analyses the implementation of SAKTI at the Immigration Polytechnic as part of public financial management reform through e-government. The study aims to examine how SAKTI is implemented in financial management practices, identify technological and organisational challenges affecting its effectiveness, and formulate strategic measures to strengthen its contribution to efficiency, transparency, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making. This study employed a qualitative single case study approach using semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model was used as an analytical framework to organise findings related to system quality, information quality, service quality, system use, user satisfaction, and net benefits. The findings indicate that SAKTI has improved the integration, standardisation, traceability, and auditability of financial transactions. However, the implementation still faces socio-technical challenges, including unstable internet connectivity, system slowdowns during peak workload periods, limited continuous training, uneven digital literacy, and the need for more responsive technical support. The study suggests that SAKTI implementation should be strengthened through improved technical infrastructure, tiered and continuous capacity-building, responsive support mechanisms, stronger leadership commitment, and more strategic use of financial data for institutional decision-making.

Abstract

Teaching Introduction to Philosophy to Indonesian students faces at least these three challenges: first, the challenge of patchiness: students know philosophy patchy and erratic because they are never introduced properly to philosophical thinking; second, the challenge of digital nativity: students are part of Gen Z that are constrained with digital world; third, the challenge of inequal starting points: students come from different background as they are coming from different part of the Indonesian archipelago. To address these challenges, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating three distinct pedagogical approaches simultaneously: Flipped Classroom, Refracted and Socratic Learning. We will show that from the theoretical framework, these approaches are surprisingly connected to each other, and from the experimental study, students perceive these approaches positively. Utilizing a qualitative case study framework backed by diverse data points, this paper explores the experimental application of these approaches and highlights how favorably students perceived the intervention.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the ontology of human sexual experience as embodied in the body. The phenomenon of cybersex as a form of digitally mediated sexual activity is commonly adopted by the younger generation under the assumption that the absence of physical contact guarantees the safety of such activities. However, this perception implicitly perpetuates an anthropological reduction that separates the body from the person as a relational subject. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of cybersex through the lens of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body by applying a critical-analytical literature review method encompassing descriptive, evaluative, and synthetic stages. The findings indicate that cybersex represents a significant anthropological-theological crisis in the “Onlife” era, where the blurring of boundaries between physical and digital realities distorts the meaning of the body as a medium of “self-gift.” Within John Paul II’s theological framework, the body is a “personal sacrament” that carries spousal meaning toward authentic relational love. Conversely, cybersex constitutes a distortion that reduces the body to a visual object of consumption, fragmented from genuine personal relationships. This study argues that an adequate pastoral response must go beyond mere normative prohibitions, toward an integrative anthropological approach capable of reclaiming the dignity of the body as the locus of authentic love amidst the complexities of the digital age.

Abstract

Red and White Cooperative Program is a national initiative launched on July 21, 2025, to strengthen the people's economy based on villages and villages. As a buffer city with the highest GDP in West Java (IDR 129.35 trillion in 2024) but facing a spike in poverty (129,540 people as of March 2025), Bekasi City recorded implementation achievements that lag behind the surrounding areas. This paradox is even more prominent considering that KKMP at the village level should have a greater chance of implementation because it does not intersect with Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as happens at the village level. This research aims to identify the main opportunities and challenges and formulate a strategy for the implementation of the KKMP program in Bekasi City. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with six key informants as well as qualitative questionnaires to 10 respondents from six cooperatives. The analysis uses a SWOT framework quantified through the IFAS-EFAS matrix, based on the theory of Rogers' Innovation Diffusion (2003) and the Implementation of the Van Meter & Van Horn Policy. IFAS-EFAS mapping puts KKMP at coordinates (−0.289; −0.151) in the W-T Quadrant, with five recommended integrated strategies: policy advocacy, strengthening legality, cluster-based organizational structuring, operational efficiency, and member market segmentation.

Abstract

The digitalization of travel documents through the M-Paspor application has transformed Indonesian immigration administration. However, the hybrid nature of passport services, which combines digital registration with face-to-face verification, requires an evaluation that goes beyond technical performance toward substantive public value creation. This descriptive-exploratory qualitative study analyzes how information quality, system quality, and face-to-face service quality interact with user satisfaction to shape public value in travel document services across five Immigration Offices in Jakarta. Informants were selected purposively and consisted of 20 participants, including immigration policymakers, frontline officers, and citizen users. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document review, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show that accurate information and reliable systems provide administrative certainty, but public value is weakened when upload instructions, quota information, and server performance are inconsistent. In hybrid service delivery, responsive and empathetic frontline officers function as a corrective layer that converts technical convenience into satisfaction, trust, compliance legitimacy, and operational capacity. The study concludes that public value in digital immigration services is produced through the integration of reliable digital infrastructure and human-centered service quality.

Abstract

This study aims to obtain a clear picture of the forms of collaboration and identify the barriers and challenges experienced by the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) CAPPA, the Ecological Justice Foundation, and the village government in preserving the Datuk Sinaro Putih Customary Forest in Batu Kerbau Hamlet, Pelepat District, Bungo Regency. Based on the description, identification, and analysis of the research problem, this study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through desk research, field research, observation, interviews, and documentation. The Datuk Sinaro Putih Indigenous Community is a community that is wise in protecting its forest and environment. They possess local wisdom values in preserving the natural environment, including customary philosophy and rules as guidelines for forest and environmental protection. The establishment of customary forests and forbidden areas is an effort to preserve the environment and protect the remaining forest. Furthermore, customary oaths are held to maintain community unity in protecting the natural environment. Inhibiting factors include limited human resource capacity, individual/group interests within the institution, and weak coordination and interaction between NGOs and related institutions (stakeholders).

Abstract

Depression and self-harm among adolescents are mental health issues that are on the rise globally and have a serious impact on adolescents’ social functioning, emotional development, and quality of life. Various risk factors such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), domestic violence, trauma, social isolation, attachment disorders, and psychosocial stress contribute to the onset of depression and self-harm among adolescents. This qualitative study aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize effective psychosocial interventions for addressing depression and self-harm in adolescents through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines, and relevant international journal articles published between 2023 and 2026 were searched through Scopus and Google Scholar. A total of 10 articles were selected based on inclusion criteria covering psychosocial interventions, adolescent mental health, childhood trauma, attachment, and psychosocial support from families and communities. The results indicate that psychosocial interventions based on attachment, trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, family support, emotion regulation, community-based approaches, and multidisciplinary social support are effective in reducing depressive symptoms, enhancing resilience, improving emotion regulation, and reducing the risk of self-harm among adolescents. The involvement of families, schools, social workers, and the community environment is a critical factor in the success of these interventions. The findings emphasize that holistic, participatory, and trauma-informed psychosocial approaches are essential in social work practice with adolescents. This study recommends strengthening family-, school-, and community-based psychosocial intervention models as strategies for the prevention and management of depression and self-harm among adolescents.

Abstract

Illegal Gold Mining (IGM) represents a complex social-ecological issue that contributes to environmental degradation, social vulnerability, and unsustainable community livelihoods. This study aims to analyze the process of social-ecological transformation among former illegal gold miners through the Cisangku Conservation Village Model (CVM) in the buffer zone of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source, method, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that the Cisangku Conservation Village Model has facilitated social-ecological transformation by shifting community livelihoods from illegal gold mining to conservation-based economic activities, including traditional ground coffee production, endemic plant seedling nurseries, and conservation-based ecotourism. These livelihood transitions increased the average income of members by 42%, expanded employment opportunities for vulnerable groups, engaged 69% of former illegal miners in conservation activities, and supported environmental rehabilitation through the planting of 356,000 trees. The transformation process was driven by collaboration among government agencies, the private sector, local communities, and the leadership of a local hero, which strengthened community participation and promoted behavioral change. The study concludes that conservation-based community empowerment is an effective strategy for achieving social-ecological transformation, strengthening sustainable livelihoods, and supporting sustainable development.
