Abstract

This study examines how restorative justice (RJ) and formal legal procedures compare in handling minor crimes at the police level in Jakarta, Indonesia. Using a qualitative legal-methods approach, it analyzes Indonesian laws and regulations (KUHP, KUHAP, Perkapolri, etc.), official police data, and recent case studies (2021–2025) from Jakarta police divisions. Key findings indicate that, under Perkapolri No. 8/2021 and Law No. 8/2021 (amending KUHAP), Indonesian police can now resolve many non-violent minor offenses via RJ. For example, Polres Metro Jakarta Barat reported resolving 525 cases through RJ in 2022. Compared to formal prosecution (which proceeds to court and possible imprisonment), RJ often brings faster, amicable settlements and reduces case backlogs. However, strict criteria apply: RJ is limited to relatively minor crimes with victim consent, and excluded are serious offenses or those injuring public justice. An illustrative case in South Jakarta involved a laptop theft on public transit resolved by RJ after the victim reclaimed her property and withdrew charges. This comparative analysis finds that while RJ has effectively resolved many petty cases (with support from police policies and victim participation), formal procedures remain necessary for severe crimes to ensure legal certainty and social justice. The study concludes that Indonesia’s dual approach—relying on formal law for serious offenses and RJ for minor disputes—offers practical benefits, provided safeguards (e.g. clear guidelines and voluntariness) are maintained.

Abstract

Community health promotion programs are essential for improving public health outcomes by addressing both individual behaviors and environmental determinants. This study evaluates the impact of a community-based health intervention implemented in Indonesia, focusing on changes in health behaviors, risk factors, and community engagement. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from pre- and post-intervention health screenings and self-report surveys with qualitative insights gathered through focus groups and interviews. The intervention targeted middle-aged adults at risk of cardiovascular disease, involving ten group sessions facilitated by trained community health workers. Quantitative results demonstrated significant improvements in body weight, blood pressure, smoking cessation, and physical activity, with 30% of participants achieving the intended reduction in cardiovascular risk factors. Qualitative findings highlighted increased community awareness, sustained behavioral changes, and the importance of cultural appropriateness and ongoing support. The study underscores the effectiveness of community engagement and robust evaluation frameworks in health promotion initiatives. Challenges included ensuring broad participation and addressing adverse selection. The results support the continued investment in community-based health interventions and emphasize the need for ongoing evaluation and adaptation to maximize impact and sustainability. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence on the value of participatory, culturally sensitive health promotion strategies in diverse settings.

Abstract

Background: The digital divide in Indonesia's underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions creates significant challenges for mathematics education in elementary schools. Traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students, resulting in low learning motivation and poor academic outcomes. Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of 'EduGame Mathematics,' a gamification-based mobile learning application designed to enhance learning interest among elementary school students in 3T regions. Methods: A quantitative experimental research design was employed using a pretest-posttest control group design. The study involved 120 elementary school students (grades 4-6) from three schools in 3T regions, randomly assigned to experimental (n=60) and control (n=60) groups. Data collection instruments included learning motivation questionnaires, mathematics achievement tests, and application usability assessments. Statistical analysis was conducted using independent t-tests and paired t-tests with SPSS 25.0. Results: The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher learning motivation scores compared to the control group (M=85.4, SD=8.2 vs M=68.7, SD=9.1; t(118)=10.45, p<0.001). Mathematics achievement scores showed substantial improvement in the experimental group, with a mean increase of 24.3 points (from 62.1 to 86.4), while the control group showed minimal improvement of 5.2 points (from 61.8 to 67.0). The application received high usability ratings (M=4.31/5.0) and demonstrated strong acceptance among students and teachers. Conclusion: The EduGame Mathematics application effectively enhances learning interest and achievement among elementary school students in 3T regions. The gamification approach successfully addresses educational challenges in resource-constrained environments, providing a scalable solution for improving mathematics education quality in remote areas of Indonesia.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly impacted the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in South Tangerang City, Banten, Indonesia. Despite a growing human population that suggests a potential boost to the local economy, MSMEs in Lengkong Karya Village, North Serpong District, are not fully capitalizing on these opportunities. According to the coordinator of economic development in Lengkong Karya Village, MSMEs in the area are grappling with capital issues, primarily due to their inability to accurately identify costs, particularly the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). This challenge hinders their financial management, making it difficult to evaluate their performance. In response, the Community Service team aims to implement an assistance program focused on analyzing COGS for local MSMEs, with the purpose of enhancing their economic income and overall business performance. Utilizing a training and assistance method, the program will provide MSME owners with essential knowledge, skills, and practical guidance in financial management and cost analysis. This program results in an increase in understanding, skills, and experience in analyzing the Cost of Goods Sold among the MSMEs being operated. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to contribute to an increase in family economic income and foster sustainable growth within the local economy, allowing MSMEs to better leverage the opportunities available to them.

Abstract

Sukamantri Village in Cariu District, East Bogor Regency, is one of the underdeveloped areas that faces fundamental problems in terms of family economy and educational literacy. Low household income and minimal access to learning resources and educational participation are the main obstacles in the process of building an independent and competitive community. Through this Community Service (PkM) activity, the service team designed the "Village Rising Movement" program as an integrated solution targeting these two important sectors. This activity was carried out with a participatory and sustainable approach, including local potential-based entrepreneurship training, development of micro-business units, increasing the capacity of teachers and parents, and strengthening the literacy ecosystem through the establishment of village reading corners and development of community libraries. The results of the activity showed an increase in community participation in productive economic activities, the emergence of independent learning initiatives, and the formation of synergy between local partners and the service team in supporting the sustainability of the program. This program is expected to be a model for village community empowerment that can be replicated in other areas with similar challenges.
