Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of gastronomic tourism research to understand its intellectual structure, key contributors, and emerging themes. Through the examination of publications indexed in Scopus, this study identifies the prominent trends, motivations, and developments within the field of gastronomic tourism. The findings reveal significant thematic clusters related to sustainability, local food, food heritage, and tourism marketing. As globalization and digitalization continue to shape the tourism landscape, this study underscores the growing importance of integrating food heritage into tourism strategies and the role of online platforms in promoting culinary tourism. The research highlights the intersection of food and cultural identity, suggesting that gastronomic tourism is an essential driver for regional development and sustainable tourism practices.

Abstract

This study extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to explain why citizens frequently abandon digital public services despite substantial government investment in e‑government platforms. It focuses on Riau Province, Indonesia, and positions User Satisfaction as a central mediator linking four UTAUT antecedents—Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions—to actual usage behavior. Adopting a deductive quantitative design, the research uses a stratified random survey of 240 e‑government users and analyzes the data with PLS‑SEM, supported by rigorous tests of reliability, validity, common‑method bias, and predictive relevance. The model explains 80.1% of the variance in User Satisfaction and 80.2% in User Behavior, indicating strong explanatory and predictive power. Results show that Performance Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions significantly increase satisfaction, while Performance Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions, and User Satisfaction itself are key direct predictors of continued use. User Satisfaction also mediates the effects of performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on behavior. Although Effort Expectancy is not statistically significant at the 5% level, it exhibits the largest effect size on satisfaction, underscoring the structural importance of ease of use. Theoretically, the study validates an under‑explored affective pathway in mandatory settings; practically, it offers a roadmap for shifting from technology‑centric to citizen‑centric digital governance.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of green investment awareness, climate risk perception, and profit expectations on sustainable investment decisions among millennials in Indonesia. As sustainable finance continues to expand, understanding the behavioral factors that drive individual investors—particularly younger generations—has become increasingly important. This research adopts a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 185 millennial respondents through a structured questionnaire measured on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. The results reveal that green investment awareness has a positive and significant effect on sustainable investment decisions, indicating that greater knowledge and understanding of environmentally friendly investment instruments encourage millennials to invest sustainably. Climate risk perception is also found to have a significant positive influence, suggesting that heightened awareness of climate-related risks motivates millennials to consider sustainability aspects in their investment choices. Additionally, profit expectations show the strongest positive effect, confirming that financial return considerations remain a crucial determinant of sustainable investment behavior. Overall, the findings demonstrate that a combination of environmental awareness, risk perception, and economic rationality shapes millennials’ sustainable investment decisions in Indonesia. This study contributes to the literature on sustainable finance and provides practical insights for policymakers and financial institutions in promoting sustainable investment among younger generations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education at Madrasah Aliyah Pondok Pesantren Syafa’atut Thulab in enhancing students’ sense of citizenship and social awareness within Indonesia’s multicultural society. The research is grounded in the belief that Islamic education serves not only as a medium for religious formation but also as a means of developing national and social character. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the implementation of Islamic education at the madrasah integrates both the national and religious curricula, supported by daily habituation of akhlaq al-karimah (noble character) among students. Islamic education significantly contributes to shaping students’ civic awareness, such as patriotism, responsibility, and concern for the surrounding community. Moreover, social activities such as community service, environmental cleanups, and outreach programs strengthen students’ social character. The main supporting factors include the religious environment of the pesantren, teachers’ exemplary attitudes, and the madrasah’s integrated programs, while the inhibiting factors include limited facilities and external cultural influences. This research concludes that Islamic education plays a vital role in cultivating a generation that is religiously devout, nationally conscious, and socially responsible.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of poverty levels, allocation of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for the health sector, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita on the Human Development Index (HDI) in West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) during the period 2014 to 2023. The research approach uses a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis based on panel data. The results show that partially the variables of poverty levels and GRDP per capita do not significantly influence the HDI. However, the allocation of the APBD for health has a positive and significant influence on the increase in the HDI in NTB, which indicates that the increase in the budget in the health sector contributes significantly to improving the quality of life of the community. Simultaneously, these three variables contribute to changes in the HDI, although the influence is not significant overall. This study recommends strengthening more integrated human development policies, particularly in the allocation of the health budget which has a direct impact on increasing life expectancy and the quality of human resources.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the communication strategies of the Four INLA Renewal Movements in internalizing the moral values ​​of "One Family World" through the INLA Goes to School program in Batam City. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of INLA administrators, program facilitators, and school officials. The results show that INLA implements educational, persuasive, and participatory communication strategies by placing aesthetic communication as the main approach. Elements of art, movement, music, stories, symbols, and emotional expressions are used to build students' moral experiences. The Four INLA Renewal Movements—renewal of mindsets, attitudes and behaviors, social relations, and culture and the environment—form an integrated communication framework. This study concludes that aesthetic communication plays a strategic role in internalizing moral values ​​because it is able to reach the cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects of students, although there are still limitations in the aspects of sustainability and long-term impact evaluation.

Abstract

Music theory learning is a conceptual foundation in performing arts education, but in practice it is often perceived as an abstract subject that is detached from students' artistic experiences. This study aims to examine music theory learning from a pedagogical and aesthetic perspective and to formulate principles for its development based on a praxial music education framework and humanistic pedagogy. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on classes of students in the performing arts education study program, with the researcher acting as a practitioner-researcher who conducts systematic observation and reflection on the learning process. Data were collected through classroom observation, student reflective journals, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of learning documents, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results showed that the integration of theoretical concepts with musical practice, aesthetic reflection, pedagogical dialogue, the use of digital technology, and cultural relevance transformed music theory from procedural knowledge into musical meaning-making practice. This approach improves students' aesthetic sensitivity while strengthening the construction of their professional identity as prospective art educators. This study confirms that music theory learning is designed in an integrative and contextual manner as an epistemic and humanistic practice, transcending its traditional function as mere transmission of structural knowledge.
