Abstract

This study is driven by the decline in agricultural productivity resulting from the direct conversion of agricultural land into residential areas, particularly in the northern coastal region (Pantura) of Tangerang Regency, including Sepatan, East Sepatan, Pakuhaji, and Rajeg. The primary objective of this research is to assess the implementation of spatial planning policies in regulating agricultural land conversion, using Merilee S. Grindle’s policy implementation framework, which emphasizes both the content of policy and the context of policy. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings indicate that the implementation of Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 13 of 2011 concerning the 2011–2031 Spatial Plan of Tangerang Regency has not been effectively implemented. Several inhibiting factors were identified, including suboptimal dimensions of policy implementation, inadequate communication between government authorities and landowners, as well as monitoring and supervision mechanisms that remain largely procedural and formalistic in nature. Keywords: Policy implementation; Spatial planning; Agricultural land conversion

Abstract

This study examines the effects of positive psychology interventions on meaning-making processes and post-loss growth among thirty-six individuals who have experienced prolonged grief for a minimum duration of six months. Participants were divided into three groups, namely an individual intervention group, a group-based intervention, and a no-intervention control group. Data were collected through structured interview schedules and analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis approach. The intervention consisted of a ten-session positive psychotherapy program. The findings revealed a notable decrease in grief intensity, accompanied by improvements in meaning reconstruction and indicators of personal growth. Several key factors were identified as contributing to this psychological transformation, including an enhanced sense of self, acceptance of reality, expanded cognitive perspectives, the maintenance of continuing bonds with the deceased, and the development of a renewed sense of life purpose. Overall, the results suggest that positive psychology interventions are effective in supporting individuals in coping with prolonged grief and in facilitating the construction of meaningful interpretations of loss and subsequent personal development. Keywords: Prolonged grief; post-traumatic growth; positive psychology; meaning-making.
