Abstract

Digital legal transformation in Indonesia has become imperative in response to the increasingly complex and transnational nature of cybercrime. Rapid technological development has expanded opportunities for criminal activities by exploiting regulatory gaps and weaknesses in digital security systems, thereby challenging the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks. This situation demands a legal system that is adaptive, responsive, and capable of safeguarding national cybersecurity while protecting digital human rights. The objective of this study is to analyze the transformation of Indonesia’s digital legal framework in addressing cybercrime and to assess its alignment with international legal instruments. This research particularly focuses on the adequacy of regulatory arrangements and the effectiveness of institutional coordination in responding to cyber threats. This study employs a normative legal research method by examining statutory regulations related to cybercrime, with particular attention to the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), as well as relevant international conventions and legal standards. Legal materials are analyzed systematically to evaluate the coherence of regulations and the operationalization of Indonesia’s cybercrime response model. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s digital legal transformation is carried out through structured efforts rather than merely producing regulatory impacts. In the short term, these efforts focus on strengthening regulations, enhancing law enforcement capacity, improving digital forensic infrastructure, and standardizing digital evidence handling. In the long term, transformation emphasizes institutional integration, regulatory harmonization, and international cooperation to address transnational cybercrime. This study is original in conceptualizing digital legal transformation as a phased legal–institutional strategy. However, its normative approach limits empirical assessment of implementation effectiveness.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Islamic social values ​​in the Nyadran Mbah Sutononggo culture in East Java, Indonesia. The focus of the study is directed at two main aspects: the description of the Nyadran ritual procession and the implementation of Islamic social values contained therein. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological design. Data collection techniques include participatory observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation. The primary data sources used are several residents of Ngreco Village, including youth, religious leaders, academics, and village elders. Data were analyzed through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, this study employs triangulation, encompassing credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings show that the Nyadran Mbah Sutononggo tradition has two implementation styles: the first is an Islamic social style characterized by the recitation of Yasin, tahlil (joint prayer), tausiyah (study of sermons), and eating together (alms); the second is a Javanese ritual style characterized by burning incense, scattering flowers, and prayers for good fortune to the ancestors. Each ritual carries a philosophical value. From an Islamic social perspective, three main dimensions are implemented: the aqidah dimension (strengthening monotheism through prayer and religious sermons), the moral dimension (silaturahmi, cooperation, and almsgiving), and the mu'amalah dimension (traditional economic activities based on mutual assistance and cooperation). This research confirms that the Nyadran tradition is not merely a traditional ritual but also a strategic means for implementing Islamic social values. However, further efforts are needed to eradicate the accompanying polytheistic practices.

Abstract

This study addresses ongoing challenges related to intolerance and social cohesion by examining the implementation of Peace Education within the context of Religious Moderation Villages. This study aims to (1) analyse and formulate strategies to integrate relevant and applicable peace education values in the socio-cultural context of moderate villages; and (2) detect and map the role and effectiveness of the social ecosystem in supporting the values of peace education in the daily lives of the community in a sustainable manner. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involved 150 FGD participants, with 15 key informants interviewed, consisting of religious leaders, youth, women, teachers, KUA (Religious Affairs Office) instructors, police officers, members of parliament, and village officials. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and participant observation, then analysed narratively with triangulation of sources and methods. The findings suggest four strategies to accelerate the transformation of Religious Moderation Villages through Peace Education: (1) strengthening individual peace awareness; (2) strengthening family and community-based moderation values; (3) institutionalising religious and cultural values through inclusive education and village governance; and (4) strengthening cross-actor collaboration (religious leaders, cultural leaders, youth, women's groups, village government, and security/social institutional actors). These four strategies work through layered integration across formal, non-formal, and informal learning spaces and across ecosystem levels (individual, family, community, and institution), so that peaceful values become habitual and institutionally supported. Digitalisation, particularly youth engagement through tolerance narratives on social media, serves as a reinforcing mechanism that expands the reach of peace messages and strengthens cross-group interactions beyond face-to-face meetings. These findings produce a data-driven transformation map for scalable community-based peacebuilding. Peace Education serves as an effective approach in strengthening a culture of tolerance at the community level, although this research is still limited to local contexts and requires quantitative testing for broader validation.

Abstract

River ecosystem degradation caused by pollution and increasing anthropogenic pressure requires culturally grounded and community-based conservation approaches. This study aims to analyse the cultural foundations and ecological functions of the Bersik Kali tradition in supporting community-based river conservation in the karst area of Goa Pindul, Bejiharjo Village, examine its role in enhancing community participation in river ecosystem protection, and assess its alignment with environmental law and SDG 15. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Data were analysed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's interactive model data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of techniques, sources, and time. The findings reveal that Bersik Kali serves as an effective culturally rooted mechanism for strengthening ecological awareness, participation, and shared responsibility for river conservation. Beyond improving river cleanliness, the tradition contributes to karst ecosystem functions by enhancing water infiltration, stabilising flow into underground channels, and supporting riparian vegetation recovery. Additional findings show that customary norms, social sanctions, and informal leadership play crucial roles in complementing formal environmental regulations and addressing implementation gaps in local river conservation governance in line with SDG 15. Collaboration with local government and environmental organisations further reinforces program sustainability despite persistent challenges such as waste-disposal habits, limited infrastructure, and uneven legal awareness. The study offers an original contribution by proposing a culturally grounded participatory conservation model that integrates Local Ecological Knowledge, ritual practices, ecological actions, and legal frameworks into a unified system of river and karst management. However, the study is limited to a single tradition and geographic setting, suggesting the need for comparative research across different cultural conservation practices.
