Abstract

Food security is one of the main pillars of sustainable national development, especially in East Java, a region that contributes significantly to the national rice production. However, data from 2016 to 2024 show a downward trend in rice production. This contrasts with the relatively stable consumption demand and poses a risk to future food stability. This study aims to predict future food needs and determine the most accurate forecasting method by comparing the naive method, moving average, single exponential smoothing (SES), and double exponential smoothing (DES) methods. The research data includes annual rice production and consumption volumes in East Java over a nine-year period. We evaluated the forecasting accuracy using the mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean squared error (MSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results of the analysis show that the double exponential smoothing method (with α = 0.9 and β = 0.1) provides the best performance, with the lowest error rate (MAPE) of 1.020%. This value is much more accurate than those of the naive method (6.397%), moving average method (6.359%), and single exponential smoothing method (6.530%), which are less responsive to downward trends in the data. Therefore, the DES method is recommended as the most appropriate forecasting model to assist the government of East Java with strategic planning and food security policies.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have emerged as a global agenda to address challenges such as social inequality, environmental degradation, and the quality of education. Higher education plays a strategic role in achieving these goals by fostering students’ critical thinking, academic literacy, and social responsibility. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of scholarly publications from 2025 to examine the integration of SDG values into Indonesian Language courses in higher education. The review identifies key themes, including the role of higher education in SDG implementation, academic literacy development, character formation, social awareness, and strategies for integrating the SDGs into language learning. The findings indicate that Indonesian Language courses possess significant potential as a medium for SDG integration because of their emphasis on academic literacy, critical thinking, and scientific communication. However, the review also reveals that SDG integration remains partial and unsystematic, highlighting the need for a structured conceptual framework. This study recommends the planned incorporation of SDG values into learning objectives, instructional materials, teaching strategies, and assessments, as well as the development of SDG-based learning guides for lecturers. The results provide theoretical and practical implications for enhancing Indonesian Language instruction in alignment with sustainable development.

Abstract

Indonesia’s archipelagic geography and exposure to Indo-Pacific tensions continue to underscore the need for credible defense capabilities. The Minimum Essential Force (MEF) program (2010–2024) concluded with realization of only approximately 65–70% overall (service-specific: Air Force ~51%, Army ~60%, Navy ~76% by 2023–2024 estimates), constrained by low defense spending (consistently 0.7–0.8% of GDP) and global economic pressures including supply-chain disruptions from U.S.–China competition. This qualitative policy analysis examines MEF optimization strategies—budget efficiency, technological modernization, domestic industry development, and international cooperation—while identifying persistent barriers. It addresses the post-2024 transition to Optimum Essential Force (OEF) under the Prabowo administration, filling contextual gaps by integrating recent fiscal trends (2025–2026 budgets) and policy shifts. Key contributions include updated evidence-based recommendations for resource optimization, reduced import dependency, and accelerated self-reliance, with implications for sovereignty, regional stability, and sustainable defense-industrial growth in archipelagic middle-income states.

Abstract

Labor productivity is an important indicator for controlling time, cost, and quality in construction projects. The installation of lightweight brick walls requires a high level of efficiency; however, in practice, there is often a discrepancy between the actual productivity in the field and applicable standards. This study aims to analyze labor productivity in lightweight brick wall installation work and compare it with the standards set out in Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (Permen PUPR) Number 01 of 2022. The study was conducted on the Sudamala Resort Ubud construction project using direct observation and a work sampling approach. Observations were made for 14 working days during normal working hours to obtain data on the number of workers, effective working time, and volume of work produced. The data were analyzed to determine the productivity value and coefficient of workers, which consisted of foremen, master craftsmen, craftsmen, and laborers. The results of the study show that the average productivity of workers in the field is 18.175 m²/day for foremen, 19.123 m²/day for master craftsmen, and 18.546 m²/day for craftsmen and workers, with productivity coefficients of 0.055, 0.041, and 0.239, respectively. Compared to the standard of Permen PUPR 01 of 2022, there are differences in productivity values and coefficients in each labor category. These differences are influenced by the field conditions, workforce composition, and work implementation methods.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online loans (commonly known as pinjol) in Indonesia has grown rapidly in line with the advancement of digital technology. Easy access, fast disbursement processes, and the promotion of low interest rates have made pinjol highly attractive to the public, especially among the middle-class. However, behind this convenience lie various serious problems that affect users’ mental health. This study aims to analyze the risks of pinjol usage on the mental health of the middle-class community, particularly in the Parung Panjang and Tenjo Districts of Bogor Regency. The research method employed a qualitative approach supported by quantitative data. The findings show that the middle class is vulnerable to pinjol entrapment, even though they are generally considered to have better access to formal financial institutions. From a theoretical perspective, this research offers novelty by applying Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) stress theory to the phenomenon of digital finance, thereby enriching perspectives on how primary and secondary appraisals and coping strategies shape the psychological pressure caused by pinjol. Field findings that highlight the dominance of emotion-focused coping strategies (resignation, anxiety, and avoidance) provide new contributions to the literature, as they reveal that the burden of pinjol not only creates economic problems but also reinforces a recurring cycle of stress without any long-term solutions. Therefore, stronger financial literacy, psychological support, and strict government regulations are urgently needed to prevent the harmful impacts of pinjol on Indonesia’s middle-class society.

Abstract

When international relations have traditionally been shaped by hegemonic power politics that prioritize dominance over equality and mutual benefit, China–Africa relations have emphasized the principles of win–win cooperation institutionalized through the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) since 2000. As a multilateral platform, FOCAC facilitates collective consultation and cooperation and has gained greater significance since the launch of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project in 2013 as a mechanism for aligning Chinese initiatives with African development agendas. Interestingly, the agenda of FOCAC 2024 has shifted from a dominant focus on large-scale infrastructure toward more sustainable, socially oriented, and norm-driven cooperation, as a response to international criticism of the debt and the effectiveness of mega-infrastructure projects in some African states. Thus, this article analyzes the current role of FOCAC in the implementation of the BRI in Ethiopia, which has emerged as a key partner. Although several studies acknowledge FOCAC as a coordination platform, limited research systematically examines its institutional role in structuring cooperation between states. Using neoliberal institutionalism, this study argues that FOCAC reduces uncertainty, facilitates long-term cooperation, and shapes state behavior through repeated interactions, action plans, and reputational considerations. The findings demonstrate that despite its formal status as a diplomatic forum, FOCAC increasingly functions as a quasi-institution in stabilizing China–Ethiopia cooperation. However, the sustainability of this cooperation depends on China’s ability to generate tangible developmental benefits without exacerbating debt burdens or reinforcing structural asymmetries.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of e-government policies at Samsat Pajajaran, Bandung, focusing on fiscal performance and operational efficiency. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, including operational officers and taxpayers, as well as field observations and fiscal report analysis. The findings demonstrate that digitalization via the SIGNAL and e-Samsat platforms has successfully catalyzed local genuine revenue (PAD) growth, with a projected increase of IDR 250 billion by 2025. Operationally, service efficiency improved by 66.7%, reducing processing time from 45 to 15 minutes. However, the study identifies a significant digital divide affecting elderly taxpayers and technical latencies during peak hours. This research recommends a 50% increase in API server capacity to ensure socially inclusive governance.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems have strategic ecological and economic functions, particularly for coastal communities that depend on fisheries-based livelihoods. However, the economic value of mangroves is often perceived only from direct benefits, whereas ecosystem services and non-use values remain underappreciated. This study aims to conduct an economic valuation of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program based on empowering Scylla serrata farmers through a silvofishery approach, using the Kampoeng Kepiting Program in Kutawaru Village, Cilacap Regency, as a case study. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using survey methods. Economic valuation was conducted using the Total Economic Value (TEV) framework, which includes direct use value, indirect use value, option value, and existence value. Data were collected through interviews with farmers and local communities, supported by secondary data and CSR program documents. The results indicate that the total economic value of the Kampoeng Kepiting CSR Program reached IDR 497,330,112 per year, consisting of direct use value of IDR 211,580,112 per year, indirect use value of IDR 280,000,000 per year, option value of IDR 4,650,000 per year, and existence value of IDR 1,100,000 per year. Indirect use value contributed the largest share, highlighting the critical role of mangrove ecosystem services in supporting the sustainability of the silvofishery system. These findings demonstrate that the Kampoeng Kepiting CSR Program not only enhances community income but also internalizes the economic value of mangrove ecosystems into the local economy. Therefore, mangrove management through silvofishery-based community empowerment is a viable CSR model that is ecologically sustainable and economically sound.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends and relationships between the three pillars of sustainable agriculture economic, social and environmental in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) during the period 2010-2024. This study employed a quantitative approach utilizing secondary data analysis methods. Data were collected from the Central Bureau of Statistics, FAOSTAT and the Ministry of Agriculture, which included variables such as land productivity, Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP), fertilizer use, rural poverty, and greenhouse gas emissions. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical techniques to examine time-series trends and Pearson correlation analysis to identify relationships between variables. The results indicated a decoupling phenomenon between the pillars of sustainability. Economically, rice and corn productivity in NTB shows an increasing trend, but this has a very strong positive correlation with the increase in the use of inorganic fertilizers, which indicates a heavy burden on the environmental pillar (land degradation risk and emissions). On the other hand, the increase in productivity is not followed by a significant increase in the social pillar, where the correlation with farmer welfare (NTP) is relatively weak. This indicates the existence of a food barn paradox: production increases, but high input costs erode farmers' profit margins. This study concludes that the agricultural system in NTB is currently in a High Input, High Risk condition. The proposed policy recommendation is the need for a transition from chemical input-based agriculture (input-driven) to organic efficiency and value-added agriculture (value-driven) to create a balance between economic profitability, social justice and ecosystem sustainability in NTB.
