Abstract

Illegitimate children are a social phenomenon that still occurs frequently and raises legal issues, particularly regarding the civil status and inheritance rights of children. Differences in legal systems between countries lead to differences in the treatment of illegitimate children, especially in determining their legal relationship with their parents and inheritance rights. This study discusses the criteria and inheritance rights of illegitimate children according to Indonesian and Thai law through a comparative legal approach. In Indonesian law, the status of children born out of wedlock is determined by their birth outside of a legal marriage and initially only has a legal relationship with the mother, while the relationship with the biological father only arises after recognition or proof of blood relations (Article 43 of Law No. 1 of 1974, Civil Code, and Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010). Meanwhile, Thai law automatically recognizes children born out of wedlock as legitimate children of the mother (Section 1546 CCC), but legal relations with the father and inheritance rights only arise through strict legitimation (Sections 1547–1548 CCC). This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative approach, literature review, and qualitative analysis. The results of the analysis show that the main difference between the two legal systems lies in the mechanisms of recognition and legitimation: Indonesia emphasizes proof of descent and recognition to obtain inheritance rights, while Thailand requires formal legitimation for children born out of wedlock to obtain status and inheritance rights equal to legitimate children. Although different, both legal systems seek to protect the inheritance rights of children born out of wedlock.

Abstract

Betawi culture in Jakarta faces accelerating marginalization due to globalization, urbanization, and digital homogenization, threatening its continuity. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using document analysis of policy papers, foreign cooperation reports, and digital archives, with content analysis and source triangulation to examine how the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta employs cultural paradiplomacy to strengthen the resilience of Betawi culture. The findings identify three mutually reinforcing mechanisms: representational that build international visibility and symbolic legitimacy; collaborative that mobilize multi-actor partnerships for community-based preservation; and transformational engagement that embeds cultural protection into urban governance through policy learning and institutional reform. Together, these mechanisms show that cultural paradiplomacy operates not only as city branding but as a multi-layered strategy for protecting vulnerable local heritage, offering lessons for other regions within Indonesia’s centralized foreign policy system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the governance of Hexahelix collaboration in the implementation of flash flood disaster management in the Lake Toba Area and to identify the constraints and obstacles encountered in its implementation. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of North Sumatra Province, the Head of the Cooperation, Control and Evaluation Division of BPBD North Sumatra Province, Staff of the Community and Environmental Empowerment Department of PT Inalum Hydropower, the Chair of the Pandawa Kayak Organization of North Sumatra, the Director of the Center for Climate Change and Disaster Mitigation Studies of the Faculty of Forestry, University of North Sumatra, and a journalist from Tribun Medan. The results of the study indicate that the role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency has been carried out in accordance with the concept of governance, where disaster management is no longer centered solely on the government but involves various actors within a collaborative framework. However, the implementation of Hexahelix collaboration has not been fully optimal, particularly in the pre-disaster phase, which still requires strengthened coordination, increased human resource capacity, and cross-sectoral program integration. Internal constraints include the limited number of disaster-certified personnel, while external constraints are related to the persistence of communities residing in flash flood–prone areas due to livelihood factors. This study recommends enhancing the capacity of disaster management personnel, strengthening scientific studies as a basis for policy, developing more integrated multisectoral collaboration, promoting development oriented toward disaster risk reduction, and increasing the transparency of information that is easily accessible to the public.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of women and child protection policies through the evaluation of the performance of Civil Servants (ASN) at the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection and Family Planning of North Sumatra Province, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors both from within (internal) and outside (external) the organization that are suspected to influence the performance achievements of ASN. In addition, the evaluation of ASN performance specifically in the context of this program has not been conducted comprehensively, thus requiring a more in-depth study. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis of ASN performance refers to performance indicators according to Agus Dwiyanto, which include productivity, service quality, responsiveness, responsibility, and accountability [1]. The results show that the policy implementation has generally been carried out, but it has not been optimal. Several obstacles identified include limited human resources, coordination constraints, and uneven program socialization. Supporting factors include regulatory support, institutional commitment, and cross-sector collaboration. Therefore, strengthening human resource capacity, improving inter-agency coordination, and optimizing program socialization are needed so that the implementation of women and child protection policies can run more effectively.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of the supervisory strategy and socialization strategy of the Election Supervisory Body of Medan City on community participation in the 2024 election. The problem addressed was the declining voter participation rate and the gap between implemented electoral supervision efforts and actual public involvement. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data collected from community respondents. The supervisory strategy was measured through preventive actions, law enforcement, and participatory monitoring, while the socialization strategy was assessed through information dissemination, public education, and communication media utilization. The findings indicated that both supervisory and socialization strategies significantly affected community participation. The socialization strategy showed a stronger influence because effective dissemination of electoral information improved public awareness and motivation to vote. The study concluded that strengthening communication-based outreach and community-based monitoring enhanced democratic participation and supported the realization of fair and credible elections.

Abstract

This research investigates the lived realities of election commissioners operating under persistent institutional constraints during a local electoral process. Contemporary electoral research frequently depicts election administrators merely as procedural agents, providing insufficient insight into their ethical and psychological dimensions. This inquiry seeks to elucidate how election commissioners perceive pressure, moral obligation, professional dedication, and self-identity within the context of their daily responsibilities. Employing an interpretative phenomenological framework, information was gathered from six local election commissioners through solicited written responses via electronic mail, facilitating profound contemplation on their professional encounters. The gathered data underwent analysis through reflective thematic evaluation. The outcomes unveil four interrelated themes: ongoing structural pressures necessitating ethical discretion, moral impetus extending beyond mere procedural adherence, organizational allegiance functioning as a psychological safeguard, and the continual evolution of professional identity through ethical introspection. These results suggest that electoral integrity arises from the dynamic interplay between individual values and institutional expectations rather than solely from formal regulations. The study enhances psychological insights into moral agency within public service and underscores the necessity for institutional backing, ethical resilience training, and psychosocial support for election officials.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of the Teacher Professional Education (Pendidikan Profesi Guru/PPG) policy based on the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Number 19 of 2024 in improving teacher competence at SMK Swasta GBKP Kabanjahe, Karo Regency. In addition, this study seeks to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of policies related to the development of teacher professionalism. This research is motivated by the existence of a gap between national education policies and their implementation in private schools, particularly with regard to teacher participation in the PPG program and limitations in supporting resources. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The results indicate that the implementation of the PPG policy has been carried out, but has not yet been optimal. Supporting factors include the commitment of some teachers and school leaders, the existence of clear regulations, and the positive impact of the PPG program on improving teachers’ pedagogical and professional competencies. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include uneven policy communication, limited financial and technological resources, high teacher workloads, and a complex bureaucratic structure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) in financial reporting at the Regional Revenue Agency of North Sumatra Province. SIPD is a national policy designed to integrate planning, budgeting, implementation, and financial reporting processes in order to improve transparency and accountability in regional financial management. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The analysis is based on the 5C policy implementation model, namely content, context, commitment, capacity, and clients and coalitions. The findings indicate that the implementation of SIPD has improved the efficiency and integration of financial reporting. Supporting factors include clear regulatory frameworks, leadership commitment, and the availability of basic technological infrastructure. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors consist of limited human resource competence, technical system and network constraints, and suboptimal coordination among organizational units.
