Abstract

This study aims to identify, analyze, and assess the effect of waiting room service quality and departure terminal facilities on passenger satisfaction at Kualanamu International Airport, North Sumatra. This study uses a quantitative approach with associative methods. A total of 100 respondents were selected through random sampling techniques and data were collected using questionnaire instruments that include variables of waiting room service quality, departure terminal facilities, and passenger satisfaction. Data analysis was done by multiple linear regression techniques. The results of partial analysis showed that the quality of Service waiting room has a significant effect on passenger satisfaction with the value of tcount= 6.311 which is greater than Ttable=1.660 and significance of 0.000 (<0.05). Similarly, the departure terminal facilities have a significant effect with the value of t count=4.127 which is also greater than T table=1.660 and significance 0.000 (<0.05). Simultaneously, the quality of Service waiting room and departure terminal facilities significantly affect passenger satisfaction with a value of Fcount=152.284 greater than Ftable=3.09 and significance 0.000 (<0.05). Determination value of 75.3% indicates that the variable quality of service lounge and departure terminal facilities explain most of the variations in passenger satisfaction variables. This study recommends that Kualanamu airport managers improve service quality by adding seats, improving air conditioning systems and renewing entertainment facilities. Further research, it is recommended to expand the scope of variables, use qualitative methods and conduct comparisons between airports in order to broaden the outlook and develop a more comprehensive service improvement strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to identify, analyze, and assess the impact of aviation security control and supervision on flight safety at Kualanamu International Airport in North Sumatra. Using a quantitative approach and correlational methods, data were collected from 80 respondents selected through random sampling techniques. A questionnaire was used to gather data on the variables of aviation security control, supervision, and flight safety. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the data. The results of the partial analysis showed that aviation security control significantly affects flight safety at Kualanamu International Airport, with a t-value (tcount) of 3.290, higher than the t-table value of 1.664, and a significance level of 0.002 (< 0.05). Likewise, aviation security supervision also significantly affects flight safety, with a t-value (tcount) of 8.101, greater than the t-table value, and a significance level of 0.000 (< 0.05). Simultaneously, both control and supervision significantly impact flight safety, with an F-value (Fcount) of 82.109, exceeding the F-table value of 3.12, and a significance of 0.000 (< 0.05). The determination coefficient of 67.2% indicates that the control and supervision variables explain most of the variations in flight safety. This study recommends enhancing security control through regular evaluations, improved training based on realistic threat simulations, and strengthened teamwork. Increasing the frequency of supervision with specialized teams and expanding monitoring systems with additional CCTV in under-monitored areas are also essential to ensure optimal security at the airport.

Abstract

The development of Financial Technology / Fintech, namely peer-to-peer (P2P) lending in Indonesia has experienced rapid growth. This study aims to identify the response and existence of Fintech lending and analyze the determinants that have the potential to differentiate the response of Fintech growth in Indonesia during a certain period. The analysis method uses several stages, namely Klassen typology analysis and multiple linear regression model analysis. The research data comes from quantitative data on Fintech Lending in Indonesia which is officially registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) from 2021 to 2023. The variables used include P2P Lending loan volume, investor fund volume, default rate, accessibility, interest rates, and inflation on the growth of Fintech-lending transactions. The results show that loan volume, investor fund volume and default rate have an influence on the growth of Fintech-lending in Indonesia. In addition, DKI-Jakarta is an area in quadrant III (vulnerable and risky), while Gorontalo is an area with the potential to develop in quadrant IV. The regions that are in the growing but risky criteria are Banten, West Java, Central Java, D.I.Yogyakarta, East Java, NTB, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, and West Sumatra. This study provides important insights into the dynamics of Fintech-lending growth in Indonesia and becomes an analysis of policy considerations to support the development of a healthy and sustainable fintech-lending sector. These findings are relevant for policymakers, industry practitioners, and researchers interested in inclusive finance and financial innovation in developing countries.

Abstract

This research examines the role of Islamic financial institutions in promoting economic stability through a literature study of recent scholarly contributions. Islamic financial institutions are seen as alternative financial instruments that operate under Islamic principles, which prohibit usury, excessive speculation, and non-transparent activities. This research aims to understand the mechanisms used by Islamic financial institutions in creating economic stability and evaluate the latest empirical evidence supporting such contributions. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, where various journals and research reports on Islamic finance, economic stability, and monetary policy are reviewed and analysed. The results show that Islamic financial institutions play an important role in economic stability through asset-based financing, portfolio diversification, as well as the application of risk management in accordance with Islamic principles. This research contributes to providing policy makers, academics, and financial practitioners with a deeper understanding of the potential of Islamic financial institutions as instruments that can strengthen economic stability.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of tax incentives on MSME performance and sustainability in the city of Surakarta. Data was collected through a survey of MSME players and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The research results show that tax incentives have a positive and significant influence on MSME performance (path coefficient = 0.506, p < 0.001) and business sustainability (path coefficient = 0.253, p = 0.040). In addition, the performance of MSMEs contributes significantly to sustainability (path coefficient = 0.381, p = 0.002). These findings underscore the importance of supportive fiscal policies, such as tax incentives, to improve operational efficiency, strengthen liquidity, and facilitate sustainable investment. The implications of this research include the need for more specific fiscal policies to encourage sustainability, educating MSMEs about the benefits of sustainability, and further research on less accessible sectors, such as the creative economy and technological innovation.
