Abstract

This research examines the gap between normative legal provisions and banking practices regarding parental authority over minor children in loan applications. Legally, Article 47 of the Marriage Law and Article 345 of the Civil Code stipulate that living parents automatically have guardianship authority without requiring a court decision. However, in practice, banks still require the establishment of guardianship as an administrative requirement for applying for a loan secured by the child's parents' inheritance. The juridical empirical research method was applied in this study, thru interviews with judges from the Palangka Raya District Court and officials from Bank BRI, as well as a study of laws and regulations. The research results indicate a gap between the applicable law and banking practices. The judge ruled that appointing a guardian for the parents was actually unnecessary because that authority was already legally vested, while the bank applied the principle of prudence as stated in Article 29 paragraph (2) of Law Number 10 of 1998 concerning Banking, in order to avoid legal risks and disputes in the future. This research recommends the need for institutional cooperation between the courts and banking thru coordination forums or memoranda of understanding, in order to align legal perceptions regarding the limits of the natural guardianship authority of biological parents.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the formation of digital identity in the Ancur Podcast as an independent podcast operating in a digital media environment. The development of podcast platforms has transformed podcasts into interactive communication spaces, where identities are formed and interpreted through interactions between creators and audiences. This research used a qualitative approach with a narrative method. Data was collected through in- depth interviews with the Ancur Podcast creator team and active audiences, as well as content analysis on various digital platforms. The results of the study show that the digital identity of the Ancur Podcast is formed through a dynamic and continuous process. These identities are not singular or static, but fragmented according to the characteristics of the platform and the pattern of audience engagement. The formation of digital identity of the Ancur Podcast consists of three main dimensions, namely declared identity, acting identity, and calculated identity. In addition, the image of the Ancur Podcast is strengthened by the factors of strength, favorability, and uniqueness which are built through the consistency of communication styles, positive perceptions of the audience, and collective identity in the listener community. This study concluded that digital identity plays a role as a strategic asset in communication that contributes to the formation of an image and the sustainability of relationships with audiences on independent podcasts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the existence of Sigalegale in its pre-commodification phase and to analyze the dynamics of cultural transmission associated with it in Simanindo District, Samosir Regency. Employing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic model, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving Sigalegale performance managers and tourism destination managers. The findings reveal that prior to its transformation into a tourism performance, Sigalegale possessed two main entities within Batak Toba culture: as folklore and as the central figure in the papurpur sapata ritual. This ritual is associated with deaths occurring under the condition of mate punu and is rooted in the belief system of hasipelebeguan. However, field findings indicate that contemporary performance managers understand Sigalegale solely as folklore and are unaware of its former ritual function. This situation reflects a disruption and selectivity in cultural transmission, in which narrative elements are preserved while ritual knowledge becomes marginalized. Contributing factors to this condition include the non-inclusive and rare nature of the papurpur sapata ritual, as well as the introduction of religion to the Batak region, which led to the prolonged suspension of ancestral ritual practices. This study concludes that the transformation of Sigalegale from a pre-commodified cultural practice into a tourism performance represents not only a functional shift, but also a process of disrupted and selective cultural transmission shaped by social, religious, and historical factors.

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of the collaboration between the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and Dorna Sports in organizing the Mandalika MotoGP as a form of implementation of Transnational Public-Private Partnerships (TPPPs) within the framework of tourism diplomacy and its contribution to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 17) on global partnerships. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, relying on secondary data in the form of official ITDC reports, cooperation documents, policy publications, and relevant academic literature, which are analyzed thematically and interpretatively. The results of the study indicate that the ITDC-Dorna Sports collaboration is built on the basis of a complementary but asymmetrical division of roles, where ITDC plays a dominant role in providing infrastructure, regional governance, and policy coordination, while Dorna Sports has advantages in mastering technical standards, global legitimacy, and international market networks. This collaboration contributes to SDG 17 through three main dimensions, namely capacity building, resource mobilization, and multi-stakeholder governance, but this contribution is limited and faces challenges of imbalanced power relations and limited participation of local communities. The implications of this research confirm that SDG 17 is better understood as an analytical framework for interpreting the dynamics of transnational public–private partnerships in tourism diplomacy, rather than simply a normative indicator of success. These findings provide a conceptual and practical foundation for formulating more inclusive, accountable, and sustainable global partnership policies for organizing international sporting mega-events.

Abstract

In Simalungun Regency, this policy is implemented through the One-Stop Integrated Administrative System (SAMSAT). However, the success of this policy is not determined solely by the elimination of fees, but also by the quality of services and the capacity of the service system to meet public expectations. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of public satisfaction and to identify the factors that hinder public satisfaction with the BBNKB II Elimination Program at the Simalungun Samsat in 2025. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The research informants consist of Samsat officers and members of the public who use the BBNKB II elimination service. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The measurement of public satisfaction was analyzed based on the five dimensions of service quality (SERVQUAL), namely tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The results show that the level of public satisfaction with the BBNKB II Elimination Program at the Simalungun Samsat is still not optimal. These findings indicate that although the BBNKB II elimination policy provides economic benefits to the community, suboptimal service quality remains the main obstacle to increasing public satisfaction. Therefore, improving the service system, upgrading facilities, and strengthening the competence and attitudes of officers are essential steps to enhance the effectiveness of this policy in the future

Abstract

Excellent service is one of the important pillars in improving the quality of public services that are oriented toward community satisfaction. The Subdistrict Office, as the frontline of government services at the subdistrict level, has a strategic role in meeting community needs in a fast, accurate, and transparent manner. However, in practice, the implementation of services at the subdistrict level still faces various constraints, both those originating from human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and the service system used. This study aims to analyze the implementation of excellent service to the community at the Kotanopan Subdistrict Office, Mandailing Natal Regency, as well as to identify the factors that influence it. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the Subdistrict Head, subdistrict officials, and the community as service users. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing meaning. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of excellent service at the Kotanopan Subdistrict Office has been carried out, especially in terms of the attitude of the officers in serving the community. However, the quality of service has not yet been fully optimal, particularly in terms of service facilities, timeliness, and the responsiveness of officers in meeting community needs.

Abstract

Gender Mainstreaming (GM) is a strategy for achieving gender equality by integrating gender perspectives into public policies, including education. North Sumatra Province enacted Governor Regulation Number 43 of 2018 to guide GM implementation at the regional level. This study analyzes the implementation of this regulation at GBKP Private Senior High School in Kabanjahe, Karo Regency, and identifies the challenges faced. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation from key informants including the principal, vice principals, teachers, staff, and students. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. Findings show that GM implementation at the school is underway but not fully effective. Challenges include limited budget, lack of specialized training, and insufficient sustainable programs. While communication efforts have been made, they have not fully enhanced understanding of gender equality. Additionally, a strong patriarchal culture and absence of structured mechanisms hinder comprehensive implementation.

Abstract

The development of technology and information has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including in the practice of the legal profession in Indonesia. This research is motivated by the development of the transformation of the notary world towards the digital era through the concept of cyber notary. Cyber notary is the notary's authority to certify transactions electronically. Although Article 15 paragraph (3) of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning the Notary Position (UUJN) provides the opportunity for such authority, there is a discrepancy with Article 16 paragraph (1) letter m of the UUJN which requires the physical presence of the parties and the direct reading of the deed. This research is a type of normative legal research with a statute approach that is descriptive and analytical. The results of the study show that regulations regarding cyber notaries in Indonesia are still experiencing juridical insynchronization and ambiguity of meaning because the term is only included in the explanation section without a clear operational definition. From a civil law perspective, deeds made by the cyber notary method currently do not have the same legal certainty as conventional authentic deeds because the formality requirement of "physical presence" in Article 1868 of the Civil Code has not been met. The implication is that the deed risks degrading the power of proof into a deed under hand and losing its executory nature. Therefore, synchronization between the UUJN, THE ITE Law, and the Civil Code is needed as well as clear technical regulations to ensure legal certainty for practitioners and the public.

This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consist of the principal, teachers, and students of State Vocational High School 4 Tebing Tinggi. The results indicate that the implementation of competency-based learning programs at State Vocational High School 4 Tebing Tinggi has generally been carried out in accordance with established standards, as reflected in the application of a competency-based curriculum, the integration of theoretical and practical learning, and the implementation of industrial work practice. However, the implementation has not yet been fully optimal due to several inhibiting factors, including limited practical facilities and infrastructure, a lack of continuous teacher training, minimal involvement of the business and industrial sectors, and differences in competency levels among students.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is a strategic government policy aimed at improving the quality of education, particularly vocational education that is oriented toward graduates’ work readiness. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at Vocational High School 4 Tebing Tinggi in improving the quality of education, as well as to identify the inhibiting factors in its implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consist of the principal, vice principals, teachers, and students of Vocational High School 4 Tebing Tingg. The results show that administratively, the Merdeka Curriculum has been implemented at Vocational High School 4 Tebing Tinggi; however, its implementation has not yet been optimal. This is indicated by the continued dominance of conventional learning patterns, teachers’ limited understanding of project-based learning, and students’ lack of understanding of the objectives and mechanisms of the Merdeka Curriculum. The inhibiting factors in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum include ineffective policy communication, limitations in human resources and facilities, as well as uneven readiness among policy implementers.
