<![CDATA[In Bireuen Regency, as in many other regions of Indonesia, money politics has become a significant issue. This is evident in various corruption cases involving politicians and government officials. The repercussions include policies that often disregard public interest, instead prioritizing the agendas of specific political factions. This problem persists due to the cultural entrenchment of money politics, which has fostered public skepticism toward politics in Bireuen Regency. Consequently, systematic and comprehensive efforts are needed to combat money politics and establish an integrity-based democracy in Bireuen. The objective of this study is to outline measures that can be taken to counter money politics and build an integrity-driven political environment in Bireuen. Adopting a phenomenological approach, this research will be conducted in several phases, including preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The findings reveal that three key stakeholders play a crucial role in safeguarding democratic integrity and countering money politics in Bireuen: the government as the election organizer, regional leadership candidates, and the public. Should any of these parties engage in malpractice, it would adversely impact the image and quality of democracy in Bireuen Regency.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the participation and commitment of program implementers in the Bioflok program within the context of a food security initiative in Tanjung Harapan Village. The focus of the research is on neighborhood heads (RT) and youth organizations (Karang Taruna) as local-level actors. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with key informants, including RT leaders, members of Karang Taruna, village officials, and BPD members. The findings reveal that participation in decision-making was minimal, characterized by a top-down approach with no deliberative process. During the implementation and benefit utilization stages, participation varied greatly; some RTs demonstrated collective involvement and local initiative, while others operated individually with limited engagement. The level of commitment also varied: successful RTs showed strong affective, continuance, and normative commitment, whereas unsuccessful ones tended to be involved only administratively, lacking emotional attachment or long-term responsibility. This study concludes that the success of the Bioflok program does not solely depend on participation, but also on the extent to which implementers possess a sense of ownership, personal responsibility, and social structures that support program sustainability.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes the legal considerations used by judges in granting marriage dispensation based on engagement at the Mahkamah Syariyah (Sharia Court) of Kota Sigli during the period 20222024. Using a case approach and statutory approach within a normative juridical framework, the findings show that judges considered the existence of an engagement, the physical and mental readiness of the couple, and family support. The Islamic legal principle preventing harm takes precedence over attaining benefit served as the main basis for the ruling, aligning with the concept of maslahah (public interest) in Islamic family law. However, from the perspective of child protection policy, this practice still carries potential risks to children's rights, especially in terms of education and protection from early marriage. It is concluded that the dispensation was granted based on maslahah, but it needs to be balanced with stricter adherence to child protection principles.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital transformation in population administration is an important part of the modernization of public services in Indonesia, including in the city of Bandung. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of Digital Population Identity (IKD) in 2023-2024 using Robert B. Duncan's theory of effectiveness, which includes three main indicators: goal achievement, integration, and adaptation. The results show that the realization of the use of IKD is still low, with an achievement of only 1.91% in January 2024, far below the target of 25%. The socialization of the program is still limited to certain groups, while the general public's understanding of IKD is not optimal. In addition, the limitations of digital infrastructure and human resources are the main challenges in the implementation of this system. Therefore, a more comprehensive strategy is needed through increasing socialization, strengthening infrastructure, and increasing the capacity of apparatus in managing digital systems. With these steps, it is hoped that IKD can be more effective in improving the efficiency and accessibility of population services in the city of Bandung]]>

<![CDATA[Agrarian conflicts in Indonesia, are deeply rooted in the tensions between customary land rights and state development projects. The enactment of Law No. 5 of 1960 and West Sumatras Regional Regulation No. 7 of 2023 aimed to address these conflicts, yet the legal framework remains inadequate. The strategic location of Nagari Air Bangis, coupled with its rich natural resources, has attracted state and corporate interests, leading to conflicts over land that has been traditionally managed by local communities for generations. This study explores the dynamics of these agrarian conflicts, focusing on the impact of national strategic projects, such as industrial developments. Despite regulations that recognize the community's rights to their customary land, these rights are often overlooked in favor of state interests, resulting in significant socio-economic implications for the local populace. The research employs a literature review. revealing that conflict resolution efforts have primarily relied on negotiation and mediation, yet often fall short. This study emphasizes the urgent need for stronger policies that balance state development goals with the preservation of indigenous rights. By highlighting the challenges faced by the Nagari Air Bangis community.]]>

The theory used is the principles of good governance according to UNDP, namely accountability, transparency, and participation.

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the political socialization strategy implemented by The Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) through the innovative program KPU Goes to Car Free Day in increasing public political participation in the 2024 presidential election. The background of the research is based on the urgency of increasing public awareness and involvement in elections, especially in socio-politically complex urban areas such as Jakarta. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews with three main informants, namely members of the DKI Jakarta KPU, researchers from Perludem, and community representatives. The results showed that this program is effective in shaping the political attitudes and behavior of citizens, transferring democratic values, and introducing political guidelines and principles in a communicative and participatory manner. However, the evaluation results also revealed the need for continuity and deepening of the substance of political education so that the values instilled are not superficial or temporary. This Program is considered successful in increasing community participation quantitatively, but its long-term effectiveness requires the support of a more reflective, inclusive, and sustainable political socialization strategy. This research provides an important contribution in strengthening the practice of electoral democracy through an interactive public space-based political socialization approach.]]>
