Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the quality of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Makassar City, focusing on five dimensions of service quality: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The primary research source is secondary data in the form of a review of literature, articles, journals, regulations, and websites relevant to this study, while interviews with respondents are used as supporting materials. The results indicate that Disdukcapil services have generally been running well, characterized by friendly, consistent, and fair staff attitudes, as well as prioritizing services for the elderly and pregnant women. However, there are still shortcomings in the tangible dimension, such as the lack of information boards at service chairs, which sometimes confuses the public, and in the empathy dimension, where attention to people with disabilities is not optimal. The literature review supports the finding that the empathy dimension is an important indicator of public satisfaction with public services. Thus, although service quality is already positive, improvements in tangible aspects and attention to the special needs of the community are essential for public services to be more inclusive and effective.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the implementation of the "green housekeeping" concept at Hotel Tunjungan Surabaya, evaluate its impact on service quality dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy), and formulate an optimal operational integration model. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Primary data were gathered through in-depth interviews with management, operational staff, and guests using purposive sampling, complemented by secondary data, field observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that green housekeeping practices at Hotel Tunjungan Surabaya encompass energy and water conservation, the substitution of eco-friendly amenities, the use of eco-friendly chemicals, and a unique solid waste management system. This implementation was rated highly and consistently, adding value to service quality particularly regarding tangibles, reliability, and responsiveness without compromising customer satisfaction, notably through a linen reuse program supported by transparent guest information (compendiums). In conclusion, the transition to eco-friendly operations was successfully aligned with guest comfort expectations through smart material substitution strategies that did not infringe upon basic consumer rights. The primary challenges encountered were external specifically, limited local suppliers and the high cost of eco-friendly products which were addressed by expanding the network of competitive third party partnerships.

Abstract

Cultural heritage has increasingly been recognized as a strategic asset for sustainable tourism development because it not only preserves cultural identity but also contributes to local economic development. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that explains the relationship between cultural heritage, heritage-based tourism activities, visitor experiences, tourism income generation, and heritage conservation, using Pura Desa Sukawati in Bali as a contextual illustration. The study employed a qualitative conceptual research design using an integrative literature review. Relevant literature published between 2020 and 2025 was critically synthesized through conceptual content analysis by integrating Heritage Tourism Theory, Community-Based Tourism, the Tourism Multiplier Effect, the Experience Economy, and Sustainable Tourism. The analysis proposes an integrated conceptual framework demonstrating that cultural heritage functions as the foundation of heritage-based tourism activities, which create meaningful visitor experiences and stimulate tourism expenditure. These expenditures generate direct, indirect, and induced economic benefits that enhance community welfare while providing financial support for heritage conservation and long-term destination sustainability. The proposed framework contributes to the heritage tourism literature by integrating cultural, economic, and conservation perspectives into a single analytical model. Practically, the framework provides strategic insights for policymakers, heritage managers, and local communities in designing tourism policies that balance economic development with the preservation of cultural authenticity and sacred heritage values. Future empirical studies are recommended to validate the proposed framework in various cultural heritage destinations.

Abstract

Abstract: The development of tourism activities can drive land-use changes, particularly in areas with significant natural tourism potential and adequate accessibility. This study aims to analyze land-use changes in the Pelangan Tourism Area between 2015 and 2025 and to examine their relationship with the development of tourism activities. The study employed a mixed-methods approach by integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses supported by Geographic Information System technology. Data were collected through the interpretation of Google Earth imagery from 2015 and 2025, field observations, a literature review, and interviews with village government officials, local residents, and business operators. The spatial analysis involved image rectification, on-screen digitization, area calculation, and overlay analysis using ArcGIS. The study area was divided into four observation zones to enable a more detailed identification of land-use change patterns. The results indicate an increase in built-up land, including residential areas, homestays, bungalows, restaurants, food stalls, kiosks, and hotel developments. Land-use changes occurred gradually and were predominantly concentrated in areas with better accessibility, proximity to coastal zones, and direct connections to centers of marine tourism activities. In contrast, areas with limited road access and inadequate supporting facilities experienced slower development. Tourism activities also created economic opportunities through the expansion of transportation services, accommodation businesses, retail activities, and local culinary enterprises. However, this development has not been adequately supported by sufficient infrastructure, safety facilities, and tourism amenities. Therefore, integrated spatial-use control and infrastructure development are required to support sustainable tourism development in the Pelangan Tourism Area.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of education, minimum wages, and life expectancy on the female labor force participation rate (FLFPR) across the regencies and municipality of Bali Province during 2018-2025. The study uses secondary panel data covering nine regencies/municipalities and 72 observations. Panel data regression was employed using the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), selected through the Chow and Hausman tests. The findings indicate that education, minimum wages, and life expectancy jointly have a significant effect on the female LFPR, with a coefficient of determination of 71.46%. Partially, education has a positive and significant effect on the female LFPR, whereby each one-year increase in mean years of schooling increases the female LFPR by 522.93%. Minimum wages have a negative and significant effect, whereby each IDR 1,000 increase in the regency/municipal minimum wage reduces the female LFPR by 0.0005588%. Life expectancy has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on the female LFPR. These findings are consistent with Human Capital Theory, which posits that investment in education enhances productivity and labor market participation. The study recommends that local governments expand women's access to education and formulate minimum-wage policies that support female-intensive sectors to promote women's labor force participation in Bali Province.

Abstract

The Urgency of this research is the difference in the reaction of the capital market to the announcement of the company's profit. These differences show that investors are not only paying attention to the size of the reported profits, but also considering the quality and sustainability of those profits. profit persistence is an indicator because it reflects the company's ability to maintain profit performance in a sustainable manner. Persistent profits are perceived to have a higher predictive value, so they have the potential to cause a larger profit response coefficient. In addition, the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is seen as a mechanism that can minimize agency conflicts and improve the quality of financial reporting. The GCG mechanism, such as the composition of the board of directors, the existence of an independent board of commissioners, and an audit committee, is expected to be able to improve the supervisory function of management so that profit management practices can be suppressed. On the other hand, accounting conservatism is a principle that is believed to improve the quality of financial statements through faster recognition of losses and postponement of recognition of unrealized profits. However, the role of accounting conservatism in influencing the profit response coefficient is also still a debate in the accounting literature. This research was conducted by analyzing companies that are included in LQ45 in 2022-2024. The number of samples in this secondary study amounted to 45 data on the Company's annual financial statements.

Abstract

Human resources management in the tourism sector is a key factor in increasing the attractiveness and sustainability of the tourism sector, especially in Yogyakarta City. This study aims to identify the potential that arises from the existence of human resources in tourist attractions, examine the obstacles faced by the government and managers in encouraging local community participation, and explore the efforts made to improve the quality and quantity of human resources in the tourism sector.In this study, the author used a qualitative method with data obtained through field research. This field research was conducted in three main stages, namely observation, interviews, and documentation. Observations were conducted to directly observe the interactions and activities that take place in the environment of Yogyakarta City, interviews were used to explore in- depth information from respondents related to the research topic, and documentation includes secondary data collection in the form of photographs, archives, or recordings that support the research.First, well-managed tourism can produce quality human resources and improve the creative economy, employment opportunities, increase regional income, and preserve the surrounding culture. Second, the participation of human resources is hampered by several things including the lack of incentives, distrust of government initiatives, and unclear human resources management roles. Thirdly, in an effort to strengthen the competitiveness of the workforce and improve the welfare of the community, the government consistently provides training in MSME empowerment, public service innovation, and digital transformation

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of destination image and technology adoption on community support, with community capability acting as a mediating variable, in the development of tourism in Tajen Village. The study employed a quantitative approach, involving 203 residents as respondents. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling via SmartPLS 4. The research findings indicate that Destination Image has a positive effect on Community Capability and Community Support. Technology Adoption has a positive effect on Community Capability, but has no direct effect on Community Support. Community Capability has a positive effect on Community Support and mediates the relationship between Destination Image and Technology Adoption and Community Support. Mediation in the Destination Image relationship is partial, whilst in the Technology Adoption relationship, mediation is indirect only. These findings suggest that a positive image of the village can directly strengthen residents’ support, whilst technology must first be transformed into community capability. In theoretical terms, this study expands upon the integration of the Resource-Based View and Social Exchange Theory. In practical terms, village authorities need to prioritise community capacity-building and digital literacy support so that technology can deliver tangible benefits for tourism development.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis / MBG), administered by the newly established Badan Gizi Nasional (National Nutrition Agency), represents an unprecedented expansion of the Indonesian welfare state. Designed as a strategic intervention to eradicate structural malnutrition, reduce stunting, and capture the nation's demographic dividend ahead of the "Golden Indonesia 2045" vision, the program aims to feed over 63 million beneficiaries. However, this paper argues that the MBG program introduces severe systemic vulnerabilities when analyzed through the dual lenses of Non-Traditional Security (NTS) and neoclassical political economy. By critically examining the massive fiscal burden of the program—costing tens of trillions of Rupiah—this study highlights the macroeconomic risks and the intense political contestation over the constitutionally mandated 20% education budget. This fiscal friction culminated in the landmark July 2026 Constitutional Court (MK) ruling, which strictly ring-fenced educational funds from being cannibalized by the MBG. Furthermore, the paper investigates the micro-governance challenges of operating a highly decentralized procurement network, emphasizing the dual threats of localized rent-seeking and acute public health crises caused by inadequate food safety standards, as evidenced by recent National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) data. The article concludes that without strict fiscal discipline, dynamic poverty targeting, and the rigorous enforcement of sanitation regulations, the MBG risks undermining the very human and economic security it seeks to protect.

Abstract

The 2026 Indonesian State Budget (APBN) represents a profound paradigm shift in the nation’s fiscal strategy, departing from two decades of progressive decentralization in favor of a highly centralized, front-loaded expenditure model. This pivot is primarily operationalized through two massive socioeconomic initiatives: the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis – MBG) program and the consolidation of subsidized goods distribution via the Red and White Village Cooperatives (Koperasi Desa Merah Putih – KDMP). Grounded in the theoretical promise of leveraging the demographic dividend to maximize government spending multipliers, these programs aim to stimulate regional economies and mitigate deflationary pressures inherited from early 2025. However, early implementation reveals a macroeconomic paradox: unprecedented state expenditure coexisting with stagnant domestic aggregate demand and regional liquidity starvation. This paper utilizes a political economy framework to analyze this discrepancy, conceptualized here as the "multiplier mirage." By examining the mechanisms of public procurement, this study identifies severe institutional bottlenecks characterized by both active waste (rent-seeking and opaque vendor appointments) and passive waste (administrative centralization and supply chain monopolization). Anchored in foundational literature on fiscal multipliers in developing nations and the mechanics of state clientelism, the analysis concludes that bypassing transparent e-procurement systems and crowding out local agricultural supply chains effectively extracts wealth from the regions rather than stimulating them. The paper argues that without immediate structural reforms—specifically, mandatory open electronic contracting and the enforcement of localized sourcing quotas—the intended fiscal stimulus will continue to be intercepted by systemic inefficiencies, ultimately jeopardizing Indonesia’s macroeconomic stability.
