Abstract

Large capture-fisheries and aquaculture potential in Papua Province has yet to meet the reality of regional development based on fisheries, due to infrastructure gaps, limited value-added processing, weak institutions, and continuous external risks. This study assesses the regional-based fisheries potential development strategy in Papua Province to increase coastal community welfare without compromising resource sustainability. Secondary data from the period of 2003–2024 are combined with stakeholder inputs from surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions and analyzed by using a SWOT framework supported by IFAS–EFAS weighting to identify strategic priorities. The mean IFAS score revealed that internal strengths (3.27) outweighed weaknesses (1.53), largely attributed to abundant fish resources, emerging fishing/processing technologies, government support, market potential, and local wisdom of coastal areas. Results from EFAS revealed that the mean opportunities (3.16) outweigh threats (1.81), particularly export demand, progress in technology, government programs, and digital marketing prospects, although illegal fishing, overfishing pressures, climate variability, and conflict over fishing grounds remained the key concerns. The position here is in the first quadrant, denoting an area where the fishery can grow well and indicates the need to focus more on Strength-Opportunity (SO) plans involving the optimization of export-directed manufacturing, the enhancement of fish processing facilities to increase value addition to fish, and the use of e-commerce and online marketing, as well as the use of local economic institutions to improve fish distribution, and the development of networks based on local culture to ensure superior processed fish products.

Abstract

Self-medication is a practice of self-treatment that is increasingly common among the public as a response to limited access to health services, high medical costs, and the ease of obtaining medicines without a doctor's prescription. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence self-medication behavior, including knowledge, medical costs, drug advertisements, previous medical experiences, and advice from others. The research approach uses a quantitative method with a survey design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 219 respondents who had purchased drugs without a doctor's prescription, using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using binary logistic regression. The results showed that all independent variables simultaneously had a significant effect on self-medication behavior. Partially, knowledge, medical costs, drug advertisements, previous medical experiences, and advice from others were proven to have a positive and significant effect on an individual's tendency to self-medicate. The research model has excellent predictive ability with an accuracy value of 91.8% and a Nagelkerke R Square value of 78.6%. These findings indicate that self-medication behavior is influenced by a combination of personal, economic, informational, and social factors. Therefore, continuous educational efforts and strengthening of regulations related to the use and promotion of drugs are needed to encourage safer and more responsible self-medication practices.

Abstract

Financial fraud remains a major challenge for savings and loan cooperatives, particularly in maintaining sound financial governance and member trust. This study examines the role of internal cash control and the separation of accounting functions in reducing the risk of financial fraud in savings and loan cooperatives in Central Java. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 100 cooperative employees through structured questionnaires measured on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results show that internal cash control has a significant negative effect on the risk of financial fraud, indicating that stronger cash control mechanisms reduce opportunities for misappropriation. The separation of accounting functions also has a significant negative effect on fraud risk, demonstrating the importance of clear segregation of duties in preventing unethical behavior. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence the reduction of financial fraud risk in savings and loan cooperatives. These findings highlight the critical role of effective internal control systems in strengthening financial integrity and sustainability within cooperative institutions.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of transportation accessibility and public facilities on the tourist experience in tourist destinations in Central Java, Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed using survey data collected from 200 tourists. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale. Transportation accessibility and public facilities were examined as independent variables, while tourist experience served as the dependent variable. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, applying descriptive analysis, validity and reliability tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that transportation accessibility has a positive and significant effect on tourist experience, demonstrating that ease of access, transportation availability, and connectivity contribute substantially to tourists’ overall perceptions. Public facilities also show a positive and significant effect, highlighting the importance of adequate amenities such as sanitation, parking, signage, and information services in enhancing comfort and satisfaction. Furthermore, both variables simultaneously explain a substantial proportion of the variance in tourist experience. These findings underline the importance of integrated transportation systems and well-maintained public facilities in improving tourist experience and strengthening destination competitiveness in Central Java.

Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy has become a strategic priority in supporting sustainable development, particularly in rural areas with limited access to conventional energy infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the utilization of solar energy for street lighting in rural areas of Java, focusing on community perceptions and acceptance. A quantitative research approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to 85 respondents residing in villages equipped with solar-powered street lighting systems. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The analysis included descriptive statistics, reliability testing, and multiple linear regression to examine the influence of perceived effectiveness, efficiency, safety and social impact, and sustainability on community acceptance. The results indicate that all perception dimensions have a positive and statistically significant effect on acceptance of solar-powered street lighting, with perceived safety and social impact emerging as the most influential factor. Overall, the findings demonstrate that solar-powered street lighting is perceived as effective, cost-efficient, socially beneficial, and environmentally sustainable. This study provides empirical evidence to support the expansion of solar energy-based public lighting as a viable strategy for enhancing rural infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy transitions in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines the current of postmodern legal theory and its relevance in the context of Indonesian law. Legal postmodernism was born as a critique of the failure of modernism projects that were considered too rigid, schematic, and ignored the complexity of social reality. Postmodern legal theory is influenced by deconstructivism, relativism, and pluralism, and is significantly influenced by the school of legal realism and Critical Legal Studies. The main characteristics of postmodern legal theory include the rejection of absolute truth, criticism of grand narratives, recognition of plurality of values, and attempts to legitimize laws that are biased in political and economic interests. In Indonesia, postmodern thought has influenced the development of law through various manifestations such as feminist legal theory and progressive law. However, the implementation of postmodern legal theory in Indonesia requires contextualization by considering the cultural values and religious norms of the Indonesian people. This study concludes that postmodern legal theory is a form of critical and dynamic theoretical reflection, which can be used to understand, study, and apply law in Indonesia, which is complex and pluralistic, noting the need for caution in deconstructing the law to remain relevant to the local context of Indonesia.
