Abstract

This study explores the complex relationships that exist between innovation, competitiveness, and competition legislation in West Java, Indonesian businesses. West Java's varied industrial landscape makes it a perfect place to study how competition legislation influences creativity and competitiveness. Using a mixed-method approach, the study combines survey data that is quantitatively collected with qualitative information obtained through interviews. The results show that a sizable majority of West Javan businesses have a favorable opinion of competition legislation and see it as a tool for ensuring openness and fair competition. Notably, a significant fraction of these businesses also devote a notable amount of their resources to research and development (R&D) and actively participate in innovation activities. According to the survey's findings, firms may be encouraged to invest in innovation by competition laws that are properly implemented, which is consistent with neoclassical economic theory. In spite of the favorable attitudes and investments in innovation, there are differences amongst West Javan enterprises in competitiveness metrics like market share and profitability. This highlights the intricate connection—which varies depending on the sector and industry—between company competitiveness and competition legislation. Qualitative insights gleaned from interviews shed light on the dynamics and obstacles unique to the industry, highlighting the necessity of customized strategies for competition law enforcement. The paper also outlines obstacles, including a lack of knowledge about competition law among enterprises, resource limitations that regulatory bodies must deal with, and worries about intellectual property protection in very competitive markets. These results highlight the need of raising awareness and developing capacity among regulatory agencies as well as businesses. The research has consequences for policymaking as well, pointing to the need for programs to raise business understanding, provide funding to regulatory bodies, and create safeguards for intellectual property rights. The study adds to our knowledge of how competition legislation affects corporate behavior and offers insightful information that can guide regulatory strategies in developing nations like West Java.

Abstract

As a rechstaat, Indonesia has human rights and a law protection guarantee that is regulated in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). To ensure the protection of the law and human rights, it is necessary to have a legal basis that regulates these matters, including customary rights. The regulations of customary rights are regulated in Article 18B paragraph 2 of the UUD 1945, Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Regulation of Agrarian Principles, Law Number 39 of 2014 concerning Plantation, and Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation. However, there is a problem in the social field, as happened in Central Kalimantan Province that customary land was turned into a 600-hectare cassava plantation food estate program without involving Dayak indigenous people from planning to implementation. Moreover, Dayak indigenous people do not get any benefits from the food estate program. These reasons are that there are a few legal problems that contradict the food estate program and customary rights.

Abstract

The fabric industry, a vital economic driver, relies on numerous small fabric shops to serve local communities and the broader textile supply chain. However, the complexities of managing asset depreciation and tax liability within these businesses are often underestimated. This research delves into the legal framework surrounding asset depreciation and tax liability as they pertain to fabric shops in Cipadu Market, Tangerang, Indonesia. By combining a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and observations, this study investigates current practices, awareness of tax regulations, challenges faced, and opportunities for tax optimization among fabric shop owners. The results reveal a varied landscape where fabric shop owners predominantly employ the straight-line depreciation method and exhibit a reasonably high level of tax compliance. However, there exists a knowledge gap concerning specific tax incentives and a need for improved asset tracking and documentation practices. Moreover, a lack of financial expertise hampers the full utilization of tax optimization strategies. The study's findings offer valuable insights that extend beyond Cipadu Market and are applicable to small businesses in Indonesia and other emerging economies, emphasizing the importance of educational initiatives, simplified tax laws, and financial support for enhancing financial sustainability and compliance with the law.

Abstract

The MUI's fatwa in the Second National Deliberation on May 26 – June 1, 1980, on Mixed Marriage stipulates that "the marriage of a Muslim woman with a non-Muslim man is unlawful; A Muslim man is forbidden to marry a non-Muslim woman. The research method used is the descriptive method of content analytics, or document analysis techniques, or content analysis by collecting information and views, analysis of interpretations and opinions, in manuscripts, literature, or books of interpretation. The result found that the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an that stipulates the law prohibiting marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims is the interpretation of Sura al-Baqarah verse 221 which stipulates that Muslims are prohibited from marrying non-Muslims and reveals that Ahl al-Kitab women are allowed to be married by Muslim men. And also, the interpretation of sura al-Mumtahanah verse 10, and sura al-Tawbah verses 30-31, and reinforced by other narrations, which implies that the legal provisions of marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims are haram, including the law of marriage between a Muslim man and a woman Ahl al-Kitab is haram.

The changes are intended to harmonize, synchronize and harmonize the spatial planning regulations that the Regional Government of North Sumatra Province has issued. The research method used is the empirical method, considering the Settlement of the Formation of the Civil Code, and the empirically symptomatic law. These, namely various legal factors influence it, so the study will lead to the role of organizations and legal institutions when enforcing the law. The results show that changes to the Asahan District Civil Code have been implemented based on the proposals from the PUPR Service so that the role of the PPUPR Office has been achieved, namely planning, informative, and indicative. For implementation, there are also obstacles encountered, such as the limited budget ceiling, the issuance of changes to the Procedure for the Implementation of Strategic Environmental Studies (KLHS), the limited number of employees in the field of spatial planning who have spatial planning legal competence and the lack of financial support for education and training in the field of spatial planning by local governments.

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate interplay between freedom of expression, access to information, political participation, and the protection of political rights in Indonesia through a quantitative analysis. A sample of 1500 respondents from diverse demographics was surveyed, and the data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The findings reveal strong positive relationships between freedom of expression, access to information, political participation, and the protection of political rights. The measurement model demonstrated robust psychometric properties, and discriminant validity was confirmed. While the model fit was acceptable, ongoing refinement is suggested. The R-Square value indicates that approximately 60.2% of the variance in the protection of political rights can be explained by the selected variables. The study contributes to the understanding of democratic governance in Indonesia, emphasizing the pivotal role of information, expression, and civic engagement in safeguarding political rights.
