Abstract

Land and Building Tax (PBB in Indonesia) is a tax on land and buildings that contributes to local revenue throughout Indonesia. This study examines the influence of tax socialization, income level, and tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. The research is quantitative with primary data, where 400 repondents were selected with an accidental sampling technique from a population of 142,499 taxpayers. Questionnaires were used to obtain the data, and analyze using Partial Least Square (PLS) method, using WarpPLS version 8.0 software. The novelty of this research lies in the use of a combination of three variables namely socialization, income, and tax sanctions in one analysis model applied specifically to the context of PBB in Palu City, which has never been studied in previous research. The findings reveal that the strength of taxpayer compliance is positively influenced by tax socialization, income, and tax sanctions. The addition this study makes to the literature is to reinforce the theory of tax socialization as the main external propellant of tax compliance as well as to reinforce the result of income level and tax penalties also play an important role in raising local tax compliance. The Palu City Government should continue to strengthen the PBB socialization policy and recommendations policy design PBB-P2 repayment should be conditioned licensing administration so that tax compliance obtained in the future.

Abstract

Urbanization and technological advancement in hypermodern societies create unique social and psychological challenges for aging populations. In Taiwan, one of Asia’s most rapidly modernizing countries, older adults in urban centers encounter increasing risks of social isolation and psychological stress. This literature review examines how elderly individuals in Taipei maintain social integration and psychological resilience amid shifting family structures and digital disruption. The study draws on interdisciplinary research in gerontology, sociology, and urban studies, synthesizing peer-reviewed sources published between 2010 and 2024. Findings reveal that many elderly Taiwanese experience disconnection from traditional family systems and struggle with digital adaptation, yet they rely on cultural norms, spiritual practices, and community-based programs to maintain well-being. The review also highlights a research gap concerning the impact of digital exclusion on mental health. This paper argues that aging policies in modern societies must address socio-cultural identity, psychological support systems, and technological inclusion to enhance the quality of life for older adults.

Abstract

Taiwan’s evolving democratic landscape presents a unique setting for examining how youth construct their political and national identities amidst ongoing cross-Strait tensions with China. As generational shifts occur, younger Taiwanese increasingly diverge from historical narratives shaped by previous regimes, instead engaging with identity through digital media, democratic participation, and civic dialogue. This literature review explores how media exposure, political socialization, and civic engagement collectively influence the identity formation process among Taiwanese youth. Drawing from studies across political science, communication, and youth sociology, this paper synthesizes peer-reviewed literature published between 2005 and 2024. The findings reveal a growing sense of Taiwanese national identity, especially among youth with consistent exposure to local media narratives and democratic institutions. While Chinese media influence persists through digital channels, its impact is moderated by public skepticism and critical media literacy. Political socialization within families, schools, and peer groups also plays a pivotal role in shaping cross-Strait attitudes. Additionally, civic engagement practices, such as protest participation, online activism, and electoral involvement, provide meaningful pathways for youth to express and reinforce identity. However, generational divides, urban-rural disparities, and ideological fragmentation complicate a unified identity trajectory. This review highlights the need for further empirical research on identity construction mechanisms in post-authoritarian democracies. It also calls for deeper exploration into how institutional trust, transnational media, and intergenerational narratives intersect with evolving youth identities in contested geopolitical spaces.

Abstract

The study explores the strategic development of Mutiara Farma Pharmacy in Babelan District, Bekasi, through the integration of telepharmacy services. Health issues, including those related to lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors, pose challenges to public health in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of accessible healthcare services. Telepharmacy has emerged as an innovative solution, enhancing drug accessibility, cost efficiency, and patient satisfaction, particularly in underserved areas. This research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach, employing SWOT analysis, in-depth interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to assess the impact of telepharmacy on service quality, patient engagement, and financial performance. Findings indicate that telepharmacy offers significant advantages, such as improved healthcare accessibility, increased operational efficiency, and higher customer reach. However, challenges remain, including the absence of in-person interaction, data security concerns, and technological dependencies. Despite these challenges, telepharmacy's potential to overcome geographical barriers and provide remote healthcare services offers valuable benefits for Mutiara Farma Pharmacy. The study concludes that telepharmacy can enhance the sustainability of pharmacy services by improving patient care, though further research is needed to explore its broader impact on customer relationships and community reputation.

Abstract

This research is motivated by suboptimal organizational performance at the Tarogong Kaler District Office, Garut Regency, during the 2023–2024 period, particularly regarding the influence of employee competency and public service on organizational performance. The study aims to examine and analyze the effects of employee competency and public service on organizational performance. A quantitative research method was used, employing a descriptive approach and survey techniques, with a sample of 37 respondents. The main hypothesis testing shows that both employee competency and public service significantly influence organizational performance. Furthermore, employee competency has a significant impact on organizational performance, as does public service. The coefficient of determination also indicates that competency and service simultaneously affect organizational performance, although other unexamined variables also contribute. The findings reveal several key issues: in the competency variable, the procedural element remains suboptimal, while in the public service variable, the clarity of service delivery by employees needs improvement. Regarding organizational performance, the aspect of employee responsibility requires enhancement. Based on these findings, the study suggests that employee capabilities particularly in procedural execution should be improved through training and career development. The clarity of service delivery should be enhanced through regular evaluations, and employee responsibility should be strengthened through systemic improvements and organizational reforms.

Abstract

In 2018, the cosmetic industry saw a 20% increase in growth compared to the previous year, reflecting a rise in market share. Notably, out of Indonesia’s population of 231.06 million, approximately 86.7% are Muslims. Since 2010, Wardah has emerged as the first pioneer of halal cosmetics in Indonesia, followed by several other brands, contributing significantly to the industry's continued growth. Key features that attract the Muslim market include halal attributes, such as halal certification labels. When making purchasing decisions, consumers tend to consider various factors, including brand reputation, brand image, label information, and price. This study aims to examine the influence of brand and halal labeling on consumers' purchase decisions for skincare cosmetics, with price serving as a moderating variable. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire completed by 136 respondents. The data were analyzed using SEM PLS version 4. The findings reveal that both brand and halal labeling significantly affect purchase satisfaction, with path coefficient values of 0.187 and 0.509, respectively. Additionally, price was found to moderate these relationships: it weakens the influence of brand on purchase decisions (path coefficient = -0.180) but strengthens the impact of halal labeling (path coefficient = 0.226). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that brand and halal labeling both play crucial roles in shaping consumer purchasing decisions. Furthermore, pricing acts as a moderating factor—diminishing the brand's effect while amplifying the impact of halal labeling on purchase behavior.

Abstract

This article explores the implementation of the One Channel System (OCS) in Indonesia-Malaysia bilateral labor migration policy through the lens of constructivism. This study examines how international norms on migrant worker protection, particularly those outlined in ILO conventions, are internalized in migration policies, as well as key challenges in the effective implementation of OCS, such as institutional coordination, economic interests, and technological barriers. Using a qualitative approach, the research analyzes the tension between normative commitments and material considerations faced by both countries. The findings show that while Indonesia prioritizes the protection of its migrant workers, Malaysia's reliance on informal recruitment mechanisms like the Maid Online System (SMO) weakens the achievement of OCS goals. This duality highlights the limitations in norm socialization and the challenges of aligning global labor standards with domestic realities. This study contributes to the understanding of constructivist theory in migration policy by emphasizing the intersection of international norms, state identity, and pragmatic realities. The significance of this research lies in its ability to provide policy recommendations to improve the implementation of OCS and its contribution to the development of constructivism in migration policy, showing how international norms and state identity interact in labor migration governance.

Abstract

The growing global demand for halal-certified healthcare products has brought renewed attention to the regulatory frameworks governing halal certification in the pharmaceutical and health sectors. This study aims to analyze and compare halal certification regulations across various countries, identifying best practices, structural challenges, and opportunities for harmonization. The research synthesizes data from industry reports, regulatory documents, and academic studies, complemented by case studies that illustrate the successes and failures of implementation in key halal markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and selected Western nations used a qualitative-comparative methodology. Findings reveal that while some countries have established robust institutional mechanisms and comprehensive halal assurance systems, others face systemic limitations, including inconsistent standards, high certification costs, and shortages of halal-compliant raw materials. The study highlights the fragmented nature of global halal certification and the resulting barriers to international trade and consumer trust. A thematic analysis further identifies recurring issues such as regulatory ambiguity, inadequate auditor capacity, and consumer sentiment surrounding certification speed and transparency. The research underscores the urgency of promoting regulatory convergence and cross-border cooperation to support the growth of a trusted and inclusive halal healthcare ecosystem.
