Abstract

The large proportion of novice voters in Indonesia’s 2024 Legislative Election, combined with their limited understanding of electoral procedures and vulnerability to political misinformation, highlights the need for innovative political education strategies. This study aims to examine the role of the film “Kejarlah Janji” as a political education medium for senior high school and vocational high school students as novice voters. A quantitative survey approach was employed using purposive sampling involving 33 respondents who had watched the film and met the criteria of novice voters. Data were collected through closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The findings indicate that although most respondents had previously been exposed to election-related information, gaps remained in procedural understanding and active electoral engagement. After watching the film, respondents reported stronger motivation to participate in elections, better understanding of leadership criteria, greater awareness of misinformation, and stronger endorsement of democratic values such as honesty, responsibility, and fairness. These findings suggest that “Kejarlah Janji” functions not only as an informational medium but also as a contextual and engaging form of political education for young voters. The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the potential of film-based political education to support political literacy, critical awareness, and democratic value formation among novice voters.

Abstract

  The rapid expansion of digital culture and increasing individualism among younger generations have contributed to the emergence of quiet quitting, a phenomenon characterized by declining social engagement, weakened collective responsibility, and reduced participation in community life. These challenges underscore the importance of strengthening character education from early childhood, particularly in rapidly urbanizing and multicultural settings such as Kendari City, Indonesia. This study aims to develop a conceptual understanding of how revitalizing the socio-educational functions of mosques can foster Pancasila leadership character among young children as a preventive foundation against future social disengagement associated with quiet quitting. This study employed an integrative literature review by synthesizing evidence from scholarly journal articles, academic books, policy documents, institutional reports, and official statistical publications published between 2018 and 2025. The selected literature was analyzed using thematic content analysis to identify and synthesize conceptual relationships among mosque-based education, Pancasila leadership, early childhood character development, and social engagement. The literature synthesis indicates that mosques possess substantial potential as community-based character education centers by facilitating the internalization of Pancasila leadership values, including religiosity, responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, discipline, and social concern through Qur'anic education, role modelling, collective social activities, community service, and children's active participation in religious and social programs. The synthesized evidence further suggests that strengthening the socio-educational functions of mosques may promote the development of socially responsible, community-oriented, and actively engaged future citizens while reducing the long-term risk of disengagement-oriented attitudes associated with quiet quitting. This study contributes to the literature by integrating the perspectives of quiet quitting, early childhood character education, Pancasila leadership, and mosque-based education into a unified conceptual framework that positions mosque revitalization as a community-based strategy for strengthening children's leadership character in the digital era.

Abstract

Environmental crises, including climate change, deforestation, ecosystem degradation, and biodiversity loss, have become pressing global challenges that require multidisciplinary approaches integrating ecological awareness with religious and educational perspectives. Among these approaches, Islamic ecotheology has gained increasing scholarly attention by emphasizing human moral and spiritual responsibility toward environmental sustainability. Despite this growing interest, few studies have systematically mapped the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and emerging research directions of Islamic ecotheology in relation to environmental education. This study aims to map the development of research on Islamic ecotheology and environmental education through a bibliometric analysis of publication trends, country contributions, thematic structures, keyword networks, and emerging research topics. Data were collected from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish application between January and March 2026. From an initial dataset of 1,120 publications, 556 articles published between 2016 and 2026 were selected based on their relevance to Islamic ecotheology, environmental education, faith-based environmental movements, and tree-planting initiatives. The data were analyzed using VOSviewer through network, overlay, and density visualizations. The findings reveal a substantial increase in publication output over the study period, reaching its peak in 2025. Indonesia emerged as the leading contributor, accounting for 392 publications (70.50%) based on author affiliations. Network visualization identified several interconnected research clusters centered on climate change, environment, education, ecotheology, and religion. Overlay visualization demonstrated a thematic shift from earlier discussions on climate adaptation and mitigation toward more recent topics, including Islamic ecotheology, environmental education, and tree-based conservation initiatives. Density visualization showed that climate change and ecotheology remain dominant research themes, whereas Islamic ecotheology, ecosystem services, and urban green infrastructure represent promising yet underexplored research areas. This study provides the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping of the intersection between Islamic ecotheology and environmental education, offering a clearer understanding of the field's intellectual landscape while identifying emerging themes and future research opportunities that support the integration of Islamic ecological values into sustainability education and environmental practice.

Abstract

Strategic bubble tourism, environmental carrying capacity, collaborative governance, and adaptive destination management are increasingly relevant to Bali as visitor growth intensifies spatial and ecological pressures. This study assesses whether Bali’s provincial policy architecture is ready to support Strategic Bubble Tourism as a capacity-sensitive governance framework. Using a qualitative evaluative case study, the analysis examines spatial-planning regulations, source-based waste-management policies, foreign-tourist levy regulations, official tourism statistics, and published empirical studies through framework analysis. Findings show strong normative foundations but limited operational coupling across four domains: visitor redistribution, carrying-capacity thresholds, shared community authority, and adaptive monitoring with fiscal accountability. The analyzed corpus does not document transparent cluster-level thresholds or decision rules linking capacity signals to visitor-management actions. Strategic Bubble Tourism is therefore best positioned as a diagnostic governance architecture rather than a validated operational model. Its implementation requires explicit cluster boundaries, multidimensional capacity indicators, co-decision mechanisms, interoperable monitoring, and traceable fiscal accountability.

Abstract

Background: The digitalization of public regulatory services does not automatically strengthen public trust, participation, or regulatory compliance. In Indonesia, the Building Management Information System (SIMBG) supports the Certificate of Occupancy (SLF) process, yet certification outcomes remain influenced by users’ service experiences, communication quality, institutional credibility, and broader administrative conditions. This study examines government branding as a substantive service-based mechanism rather than merely a symbolic communication strategy. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The quantitative phase involved 300 SIMBG users from Sidoarjo, Semarang, and Bandung selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The qualitative phase used semi-structured interviews and document analysis to explain and contextualize the quantitative findings. Findings: Public participation showed the strongest positive relationship with SIMBG adoption (β = 0.766), followed by communication quality (β = 0.562). SIMBG adoption was also strongly associated with SLF ownership (β = 0.712). Qualitative findings indicated that procedural transparency, communication clarity, responsive assistance, and consistency between government messages and actual service delivery shaped perceptions of institutional credibility. Technical assessment costs, limited availability of qualified experts, document revisions, and other non-platform requirements remained important barriers to certification completion. Conclusion: Effective digital building certification depends not only on technological availability but also on credible government-user relationships and a supportive certification ecosystem. Government branding becomes substantively credible when messages of convenience, transparency, and professionalism are reinforced by actual service performance. Novelty/Originality: This study positions SIMBG as a digital service-based brand touchpoint linking participation, communication quality, platform adoption, SLF completion, and public value.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed educational practices in the digital era. However, the integration of AI-based technologies in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) remains limited due to inadequate digital literacy, limited pedagogical adaptation, and varying levels of teacher readiness in utilizing digital tools effectively. This study examines the role of ChatGPT in enhancing IRE learning and supporting teacher digital empowerment. This research employed a qualitative case study approach involving 26 Islamic education teachers from various educational levels. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings reveal that although 53.8% of teachers are familiar with ChatGPT, only 30.8% actively use it in the learning process, indicating a considerable gap between awareness and practical implementation. Teachers who utilized ChatGPT reported that it assisted lesson planning, supported the development of learning materials, and improved instructional efficiency. Furthermore, ChatGPT contributed to increasing student engagement, encouraging critical thinking, and expanding access to learning resources. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, potential dependency on AI tools, and concerns regarding content accuracy. This study concludes that ChatGPT has substantial potential to improve the quality of IRE learning and strengthen teachers’ digital competencies. The study also contributes theoretically to the discourse on AI integration in Islamic education and practically provides insights for developing more adaptive and technology-oriented learning practices among IRE teachers.

Abstract

Women’s economic empowerment extends beyond the acquisition of vocational skills. It also depends on how these skills are translated into economic opportunities, social networks, and greater economic agency. Although vocational training has been widely recognized as a strategy for improving women’s economic participation, existing studies have largely emphasized measurable outcomes such as employment and income, providing limited explanation of how vocational skills are transformed into everyday livelihood strategies. This study explores how female alumni of LKP Modes Muria transform life skills-based sewing training into home-based economic activities and economic agency. Using a qualitative case study design, the study involved five female alumni who had completed the sewing training program and were actively engaged in sewing-related economic activities. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal an empowerment pathway involving skill acquisition, business initiation, income generation, business development and resilience, and increased economic agency. Participants reported monthly incomes ranging from IDR 2,000,000 to IDR 5,000,000, which contributed to household expenses, children’s education, savings, business reinvestment, and greater participation in household financial decision-making. The findings further show that the transformation of vocational skills into economic activities was shaped by the interaction of technical competencies, individual initiative, local customer networks, and institutional support. In particular, LKP Modes Muria functioned not only as a training provider but also as a network broker that facilitated access to customers, economic opportunities, and post-training support. However, participants continued to face fluctuating demand, market competition, and difficulties in balancing economic activities with domestic responsibilities. This study contributes a process-oriented understanding of women’s economic empowerment by demonstrating how vocational skills are translated into economic agency through the interaction of individual capabilities, informal networks, and institutional brokering within a non-formal education context.

Abstract

Judicial decisions on rehabilitation for narcotics abusers often require judges to reconcile criminal accountability with rehabilitative objectives, yet the parameters guiding such discretion remain insufficiently structured. This study examines the ratio decidendi underlying judicial discretion in Judgment No. 1365/Pid.Sus/2017/PN.Tjk and develops parameters for more consistent rehabilitation decisions. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches to examine the legal provisions on narcotics rehabilitation, Judgment No. 1365/Pid.Sus/2017/PN.Tjk, and the concepts of judicial discretion, ratio decidendi, punishment, and rehabilitation. The legal materials are analyzed through qualitative legal interpretation and prescriptive reasoning. The findings show that the decision combined imprisonment with rehabilitation; however, the reasoning within it lacked an explicit and structured framework for exercising discretion. This study reconstructs four parameters: normative, medical, juridical, and the purpose of sentencing. These parameters are operationalized through six stages of legal reasoning, ranging from identifying applicable norms, reconstructing proven facts, integrating assessment findings, correlating facts with legal requirements, exercising structured discretion, and formulating sanctions. This model contributes to individualized sentencing by providing a more transparent framework for balancing legal certainty, justice, rehabilitation, and the protection of society.

Abstract

Kayutangan Heritage in Malang is a living urban heritage area where cultural preservation, community governance, local economic activity, and digital innovation intersect. This study examines how six actor groups and collaborative governance processes shape the emergence of digital cultural heritage within a smart society-oriented setting. An interpretive single-case study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 23 informants representing government, academia, business/MSMEs, community actors, media, and CSR/philanthropic actors, supplemented by four observation sessions, two focus group discussions, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through iterative qualitative coding, followed by hexahelix actor-resource mapping and interpretation using Ansell and Gash's collaborative governance framework. The findings show a functionally differentiated but asymmetrical actor configuration. Government actors contribute formal authority and infrastructure; community actors contribute local knowledge and everyday management; academic and technical actors contribute research, historical validation, and digital expertise; while business, media, and CSR/philanthropic actors provide economic, communication, and external-resource support with varying continuity. Collaboration is supported by resource interdependence and facilitative government involvement, but institutional arrangements and participation remain uneven. ARchive is best understood as an emerging digital interpretation initiative rather than evidence of a completed digital-heritage system; during the fieldwork period it was publicly presented as an augmented-reality tour-guide application, but this study did not evaluate user analytics or causal visitor effects. The study therefore proposes an integrated analytical lens in which actor-resource configuration and collaborative-process quality jointly shape whether digital cultural heritage becomes coordinated, maintained, and socially embedded.

Abstract

The relationship between political power and religious knowledge production has long been contested in Islamic intellectual history, yet its significance for understanding authority, legitimacy, memory, and narrative formation in classical Islamic historiography remains insufficiently examined. This article examines how political authority shapes the construction of religious narratives in classical Islamic historiography, with particular focus on the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, and how such patterns persist into the modern era. Employing Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge as the overarching methodological framework, with Critical Discourse Analysis as its analytical strategy for examining how power, knowledge, and historical meaning are articulated in texts, this study analyzes primary historiographical sources, including the works of Al-Tabari, Al-Baladhuri, Al-Ya'qubi, and Al-Mas'udi, alongside contemporary scholarship on Islamic political thought. The findings reveal three dominant patterns: the sacralization of rulers, the systematic marginalization of opposition narratives, and the standardization of orthodoxy through selective textual transmission. These findings demonstrate that classical Islamic historiography functioned not merely as a factual record, but as an instrument of power legitimization that constructed and maintained religious orthodoxy. This study contributes a deconstructive framework to Islamic historiography scholarship by integrating the concepts of raison d'état and selected collective memory, offering a more critical and nuanced reading of the power-knowledge nexus in the Islamic historical tradition. The implications of this study extend to contemporary debates on the politics of memory, the formation of religious identity, and the relationship between political authority and religious doctrine in Muslim societies.
