Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal position of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government and to construct the juridical basis of substituted liability in unlawful act (tort) disputes arising from the Jakarta LRT Phase 1B project in Rawamangun. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to examine the relationship between the regional government and regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) as project implementers. The findings indicate that although direct liability formally rests with the BUMD, the regional government cannot be entirely absolved of legal responsibility, as the project constitutes a manifestation of public policy financed through the regional budget (APBD). Non-physical losses experienced by the community may be qualified as onrechtmatige overheidsdaad (unlawful government act), particularly when such losses stem from policy negligence or failure in impact mitigation. In such circumstances, liability may be attributed to the regional government through the concept of substituted liability (vicarious liability), especially when the BUMD is unable to fulfill compensation obligations. Furthermore, the study finds that litigation-based dispute resolution mechanisms are ineffective and inconsistent with the principles of good governance. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening non-litigation mechanisms through the establishment of an Independent Mediation Committee and the provision of a risk reserve fund as an operational form of substituted liability. This model is expected to ensure a faster, more transparent, and equitable dispute resolution process for affected communities.

Abstract

Traffic congestion is a serious problem commonly encountered in urban areas such as Bandar Lampung City. To address this issue, the Bandar Lampung City Transportation Agency and the Traffic Unit of the Bandar Lampung City Police coordinate traffic management activities across the city. This study aims to describe the coordination between the Traffic Division of the Bandar Lampung City Transportation Agency and the Traffic Unit of the Bandar Lampung City Police in managing traffic. This study employed a qualitative method supported by several sources of data obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the framework proposed by Miles et al. (2014), which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that coordination between the Traffic Division of the Bandar Lampung City Transportation Agency and the Traffic Unit of the Bandar Lampung City Police has not been fully effective based on the four aspects of coordination proposed by Hasibuan (2006). Unity of action has been implemented effectively, although synchronization in the timing of traffic management activities remains suboptimal. Meanwhile, communication, division of work, and discipline still show several weaknesses, particularly in joint evaluation and task implementation.

Abstract

This research examines Zambia’s economic dependence as a form of Cina’s economic dominance through foreign aid (loans and investments) between 2018 and 2022. The study is motivated by concerns over a pattern of neo-imperialism in Cina-Africa relations. The aim is to describe how Cina's foreign aid flows including debt and infrastructure investment generate economic dependency in Zambia. This descriptive qualitative study collects data through literature review. Findings show that Zambia’s external debt to Cina reached approximately USD 6.6 billion in 2021, with about 70% allocated to basic infrastructure projects. Major Chinese investments include the Kafue Gorge Power Station and public infrastructure supported by the Forum on Cina-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). Socially, the study highlights labor rights violations by Chinese companies, such as hazardous working conditions and anti-union practices. Theoretically, this study employs the dependency theory and foreign aid concept to analyze asymmetrical power dynamics embedded in Cina’s economic relations. The study concludes that Chinese foreign aid increases Zambia’s debt burden and deepens its economic dependence, reflecting asymmetric power relations.

Abstract

Electoral inclusion depends not only on the legal recognition of the political rights of persons with disabilities but also on the capacity of election management bodies to translate those guarantees into accessible electoral services. This article examines the inclusiveness of the 2024 North Sumatra gubernatorial election by connecting the legal framework, disaggregated voter data, voter turnout, and service requirements across disability categories and geographical areas. The study employs qualitative policy analysis supported by a descriptive analysis of administrative data from the General Election Commission covering 32,245 registered voters with disabilities across 33 regencies and cities. It also draws on legislation, institutional documents, election monitoring reports, and relevant academic studies. The analysis shows that the existing legal framework covers voter registration, polling-station accessibility, assistance, voting aids, ballot secrecy, and participation throughout the electoral process. However, variations across disability categories and geographical areas indicate that electoral services cannot be planned uniformly. Voters with physical disabilities constitute the largest group, accounting for 13,160 voters or 40.81 percent, followed by voters with mental disabilities at 6,106 or 18.94 percent. The recorded turnout of 49.09 percent indicates that administrative registration did not fully translate into electoral participation, although this figure alone does not establish the existence or causes of accessibility barriers. The article concludes that substantive inclusion requires the use of disaggregated data in service planning, verification of needs at the polling-station level, accessible information and reasonable accommodation, improved staff capacity, and monitoring and complaint mechanisms available throughout the electoral process.
