Abstract

This study examines the development of Waterfront City Pangururan and its contribution to tourism enhancement in Samosir Regency. The research aims to identify how spatial arrangement quality, accessibility, and landscape perception influence tourist experience and destination attractiveness. A mixed-methods approach was applied by integrating quantitative assessments from 120 tourists with qualitative observations and open-ended responses, supported by SWOT analysis to formulate strategic development directions. Findings indicate that cleanliness, visual aesthetics, and lakeside panoramas are the most prominent strengths of the area, while limitations in public facilities, inconsistent pedestrian paths, and insufficient vegetation remain key challenges. Accessibility is generally perceived as good, yet the lack of activity diversification reduces the appeal on non-weekend days. The study concludes that improving public facilities, enhancing landscape design, diversifying attractions, and strengthening the visual identity of the waterfront are essential to support sustainable destination development. The implications highlight the need for actionable, phased strategies that align with regional tourism priorities and can be implemented to increase tourist satisfaction, length of stay, and economic benefits for local communities.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the position and implementation of Law Number 9 of 1998 on Freedom of Expression in Public within Indonesia's national legal system, focusing on the 2020-2025 period as a post-pandemic democratic transition phase. Freedom of expression is a constitutional right guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, yet violations by law enforcement officers frequently occur in practice. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The results indicate that although Law No. 9 of 1998 normatively guarantees citizens' rights to express opinions in public, its implementation during 2020-2025 still faces various challenges. Data from Komnas HAM and YLBHI show an increase in violation cases from 42 cases in 2020 to 67 cases in 2023. Law enforcement officers often act repressively, misinterpret notification procedures, and demonstrate weak supervision of rights violations by authorities. Therefore, legal reform, capacity building for officers, and strengthening of supervisory institutions like Komnas HAM are needed to guarantee constitutional rights.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial Ratio on financial performance with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable in the State-Owned Banks Association (Himpunan Bank Milik Negara – Himbara). The financial Ratio examined in this study include Non-Performing Loan (NPL), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR/KPMM), while financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA). GCG is proxied by the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI). The research objects consist of PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, and PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk during the 2020–2024 period. This study employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The research data were obtained from the annual reports of each bank and official CGPI publications. The results indicate that NPL, LDR, and CAR/KPMM do not have a significant effect on financial performance (ROA) of Himbara banks. In contrast, Good Corporate Governance (GCG) has a positive and significant effect on banks’ financial performance. Furthermore, the moderating analysis reveals that GCG does not moderate the relationship between financial Ratio (NPL, LDR, and CAR/KPMM) and financial performance, indicating that GCG functions as a direct independent variable rather than a moderating variable. This study implies that strengthening the implementation of good corporate governance is a key factor in improving the financial performance of state-owned banks, while the management of financial Ratio should continue to adhere to prudential principles and operational efficiency.

Abstract

The halal industry has attracted increasing global attention due to rising demand not only from Muslim-majority countries but also from non-Muslim nations, alongside the growing purchasing power of Muslim populations worldwide. In Southeast Asia, halal certification is managed through diverse institutional frameworks, ranging from government-led bodies in Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia, to non-governmental organizations in the Philippines and Thailand. Indonesia established the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) under Law No. 33/2014 to oversee national halal certification, while Malaysia’s Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) has positioned the country as a global leader in halal governance and industry development. Thailand, despite its Buddhist majority, has advanced halal standardization through institutions such as the Halal Standard Institute and the Halal Science Centre. Within the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT), where Muslims form a demographic majority, cooperation in the halal sector is strategically significant and relatively unimpeded by sociocultural barriers. Demand for halal products in the region—spanning food, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, cosmetics, logistics, tourism, and finance—is substantial, yet much of it is currently supplied by non-Muslim countries. Recognizing this, IMT-GT members have agreed to strengthen cooperation through three pillars: halal integrity, industry development, and branding and promotion. These efforts highlight the region’s ambition to establish itself as a global halal economic bloc, integrating certification, production, and market expansion within ASEAN and beyond.

Abstract

This study analyzes how the leadership style of school principals plays a role in improving teacher performance and its impact on student achievement at Kartika 1–2 High School in Medan. The researchers used an associative quantitative approach involving all teachers as respondents through saturated sampling techniques. Research data were obtained through questionnaires and processed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results of the analysis show that principals who implement effective leadership styles are able to significantly improve teacher performance. In addition, improvements in teacher performance have also been proven to contribute directly to improvements in student achievement. This confirms that the leadership style of the principal and teacher performance are two important interrelated factors in efforts to improve student learning outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of knowledge and work motivation on human resource development with job satisfaction as a moderating variable at the UPTD Child Social Service Center of Padang Sidempuan–Panyabungan. The research is motivated by the importance of improving the quality of human resources in social services, which requires competence, work enthusiasm, and individual job satisfaction. A quantitative approach was applied using a survey technique through questionnaires distributed to UPTD employees. Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to examine both direct effects and the moderating role of job satisfaction. The results indicate that knowledge and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on human resource development. Furthermore, job satisfaction strengthens the relationship between knowledge and work motivation toward human resource development. Specifically, Job Satisfaction (Z) positively influences Human Resource Development (Y) with a path coefficient of 0.98 and a P-Value of 0.000. Work Motivation (X2) positively affects Human Resource Development (Y) with a coefficient of 0.304 and a P-Value of 0.003, and as a moderating variable, it shows a coefficient of 0.254 with a P-Value of 0.005. Knowledge (X1) positively affects Human Resource Development (Y) with a coefficient of 0.31 and a P-Value of 0.001, and as a moderating variable, it shows a coefficient of 0.288 with a P-Value of 0.001. These findings affirm that human resource capacity enhancement depends not only on knowledge and motivation but also on job satisfaction, which plays a crucial role in mediating and strengthening employee performance, particularly within the context of social service institutions that demand dedication and professionalism

Abstract

One of the public policy processes that rarely receives attention and is rarely carried out is the public policy evaluation stage. However, this policy evaluation activity is very important because it can assess the success or failure of a public policy implementation. As part of the government, it is appropriate for the Lampung Provincial Government to evaluate each implemented public policy to assess its performance (results and impacts) in solving public problems. The purpose of this study is to determine, describe, and analyze the policy evaluation activities that have been carried out by the Lampung Provincial Government to determine the performance of the policies. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, where data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that public policies in the form of Regional Regulations (Perda) of Lampung Province in 2023-2024 were subjected to formal evaluation by the central government in the form of a review to determine whether the regulation contradicts the regulations above or not. Meanwhile, no substantive evaluation of these regulations was specifically carried out by the Lampung Provincial Government.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the Audit Committee on Financial Reporting Quality through the implementation of Risk-Based Internal Audit conducted by the Internal Audit Unit (SPI) as a mediating variable at PT Pelabuhan Indonesia I (Pelindo I) Medan. The research adopts a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 45 respondents (census sampling) comprising SPI personnel, audit committee members, and accounting and finance staff. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS (SmartPLS) with a bootstrapping procedure to test direct and indirect effects. The results indicate that the Audit Committee has a positive and significant effect on the implementation of SPI risk-based audit oversight, and that SPI risk-based audit oversight has a positive and significant effect on financial reporting quality. The mediation test also confirms a positive and significant indirect effect of the Audit Committee on financial reporting quality through SPI risk-based audit oversight. These findings suggest that improvements in financial reporting quality are driven not only by the Audit Committee's direct effectiveness, but more importantly by strengthening the implementation of risk-based internal audit oversight. Practically, firms should enhance the Audit Committee's role in promoting risk-based audit planning, execution, reporting, and follow-up processes to ensure financial reporting becomes more reliable and timely.

Abstract

This research targets micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the city of Bandar Lampung, Indonesia with operational resilience among MSMEs using a local economic governance system that relates to well-being employees as core issues. It uses an exploratory qualitative research design with thematic analysis; primary data collected included interviews of local practitioners that fulfilled the sample criteria were paired with secondary data from official documents, industry and governance reports as well as policy and regulatory literature. The research indicates that these businesses are more than small economic units — they support family income and facilitate the operation of the local economy as social spaces. Moreover, through the lens of public administration, this research describes economic governance as a bridge between central government administrative competence and economic behaviour, alongside recasting how MSME resilience is measured. The revised criteria require the measurements to go beyond the single requirement of business survival, and add new dimensions: retaining staff to stabilize employment and safeguarding employee well-being. Drawing on the legal authority granted to governments at all levels to support, protect, and empower MSMEs under  Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 7 of 2021 and  and similar regulations at the local level, this study puts forward the policy proposition that governments must participate in strengthening local economic governance.

Abstract

Indigenous people and individuals enjoy freedom and equality with other communities and individuals, the right to bee free from all discrimination, the right to self-identification, civil and political right, economic, social and cultur rights to freedom. In terms of protection customary law communities, it is not only the responsibility of the state but also the UN. However, this only protects the human rights of indigenous peoples, and does not help preserve them. On equality with other communities, cumtomary law communities have their human rights protected, so that their customary rights are also protected. The state must also prepare cumtomary law communities to face changing times so that they are not disturbed by changes and easily accept changes in their modern lifestyle patterns. Efforts to ensure consistent indigenous peopoles protection to overcome these various gaps are based on pure and consistent application of legal principles and provisions contained in statutory regulations and implementing them. Verious conflict phenomena that occur can be caused by the government’s failure to understand and implement the procedures and provisions determined by ststutory regulations.
