Abstract

Rural communities in emerging regions face mounting challenges, including economic volatility, climate variability, and limited access to infrastructure. However, traditional planning approaches often rely on intuition-based priority-setting and lack systematic analytical frameworks for identifying optimal intervention pathways. The integration of artificial intelligence into development planning offers potential to enhance evidence quality and allocative efficiency, though implementation feasibility and effectiveness in resource-constrained contexts remain underexplored. This research developed and validated an AI-based predictive framework to assess village economic resilience and support participatory development planning, examining model accuracy, key resilience determinants, and its practical integration with existing governance processes. The study employed mixed methods across five rural villages in Central Java Province, Indonesia, over six months (March-August 2024), combining machine learning approaches (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting) for resilience prediction with qualitative stakeholder engagement. Data collection encompassed household surveys (n=180), administrative records, spatial analysis, and participatory planning forums, with systematic comparison against conventional planning approaches. Ensemble models achieved strong predictive accuracy (R²=0.84), with Gradient Boosting demonstrating the highest performance (R²=0.89) and Random Forest (R²=0.86), substantially outperforming linear regression (R²=0.48). Digital infrastructure (24% importance), income diversification (21%), and financial service access (17%) emerged as dominant resilience determinants. AI-supported villages demonstrated enhanced planning processes, including improved evidence utilization, broader stakeholder participation, and strategic realignment of priorities toward empirically identified leverage factors. Scenario analysis projected 18-point gains in resilience over five years under integrated intervention strategies. The research demonstrates that appropriately designed AI systems can enhance the effectiveness of rural development planning while preserving participatory values.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created new opportunities to improve agricultural marketing systems, particularly for smallholder farmers who often face limited market access and long supply chains dominated by intermediaries. This study investigated the influence of agricultural e-commerce on enhancing the income of smallholder farmers and developments in the supply chain in the Garut region of West Java. The present study collected and analyzed quantitative and qualitative data using a mixed-method approach, surveying 250 smallholder farmers who use e-commerce platforms. It was found from the results that the adoption of e-commerce significantly increased farmers' monthly income from an average of 2.85 million to 4.15 million rupiah. The structure of the supply chain has also altered, with a significant reduction in the number of intermediaries from 3-4 to 1-2 intermediaries. Conversely, farmers' shares of the final price of products in cases such as organic vegetables have increased by 78 percent. Regression analysis further verified that factors such as education level, digital literacy, and the reduction of intermediaries have contributed most to explaining income changes. Though the findings showed the relative success of these platforms, some major challenges were pinpointed, such as logistics costs at a score of 4.6 and limited digital literacy at a score of 4.2. This paper concludes that agricultural e-commerce development relies on simultaneous consideration of the three axes: logistics infrastructure development, enhancement of digital capability by farmers, and adjustment in cultivation patterns.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of strengthening the rural local economy in increasing the Human Development Index (HDI) and reducing regional disparities. The background of this study is based on the still high development disparity between urban and rural areas, which is characterized by low access to public services, limited human resources, and weak local economic capacity. The study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design through data collection using questionnaires and structured interviews with respondents in rural areas. Data analysis techniques include descriptive and inferential statistics using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study show that local economic strengthening is the most dominant predictor of HDI improvement (B=0.356; t=3.845; sig=0.000), followed by human resource quality (B=0.298; sig=0.004) and access to public services (B=0.214; sig=0.037). The F-test confirms simultaneous significance (F=6.732; sig=0.001). The variables of local economic strengthening are the dominant factors in encouraging the improvement of community welfare. In addition, improving the quality of education and access to health services also contributes to improving the quality of life of rural communities. These findings confirm the importance of an integrated development approach between economic, social, and public service aspects. This research implies that rural development policies need to be focused on local economic empowerment, human resource capacity building, and expansion of inclusive and sustainable access to public services.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of financial technology has accelerated the global transition toward digital payment systems, particularly in developing economies. In Indonesia, the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), introduced by Bank Indonesia, represents a strategic policy innovation designed to unify fragmented QR-based payment services into a single interoperable national standard. Despite growing adoption, prior studies have predominantly focused on consumer-side behavior, leaving the systemic role of QRIS as a financial infrastructure enabling MSME inclusion and formalization underexamined. This study aims to analyze the multidimensional role of QRIS in promoting financial inclusion and accelerating the digital transformation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research synthesizes secondary data from institutional reports, government publications, and peer-reviewed academic literature through thematic analysis within an interpretive framework. The findings indicate that QRIS expands financial access, improves transaction transparency, strengthens business record-keeping, and enhances MSME competitiveness, while also facilitating their integration into the formal financial ecosystem. However, challenges persist, including unequal digital literacy, infrastructure disparities, and varying MSME readiness. This study concludes that QRIS functions not merely as a payment instrument but as a strategic financial infrastructure supporting inclusive economic growth. The findings carry practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and business stakeholders in designing more inclusive and sustainable digital economy policies.

Abstract

Urban sustainability research increasingly focuses on the role of digital technology in shaping cities. Numerous smart city frameworks and experimental initiatives have been developed globally; however, a persistent gap remains between technology-driven planning approaches and governance systems that prioritize social equity and the human dimensions of urban life. This paper employs a qualitative literature synthesis combined with a multiple-case study approach drawing upon peer-reviewed academic sources identified through structured database searches to investigate how smart city programs can be aligned with sustainability goals while ensuring meaningful citizen participation. The analysis identifies four principal themes: (1) ICT standardization as a foundational enabler of coordinated urban development; (2) the centrality of inclusive governance in achieving equitable outcomes; (3) the structural challenges of adapting global smart city agendas to local realities; and (4) the persistent risk that technology-led solutions inadequately address social inclusion. Key findings indicate that open platform architectures support participatory governance more effectively than proprietary systems (Gimpo, South Korea); that contextual adaptation is essential in cities with complex historical and institutional conditions (Shiraz, Iran); and that digital literacy and community engagement constitute prerequisites for meaningful participation (Islamabad, Pakistan). This study argues that a citizen-centred model of smart and sustainable urban development is both achievable and necessary. It highlights the need to treat participation as a structured process of shared decision-making rather than a formal or limited exercise, applicable to cities in both developed and developing regions.

Abstract

The pursuit of sustainable urban development has become increasingly vital in recent years, as rapidly growing cities face complex challenges that threaten their resilience and environmental integrity. This study investigates the intersection of urbanism and sustainability by examining how urban resilience can be aligned with green development goals. A qualitative approach employing a multiple case study design was adopted, in which secondary data from published reports, policy documents, and prior empirical studies on selected cities including Stepanavan, Budapest, Tokyo, Karlstad, Keene, and several Sub-Saharan African cities were analyzed thematically to identify recurring resilience strategies, and these global findings were then contextualized against Pakistan’s disaster-resilience policy landscape, including the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) survey framework and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) system. The findings indicate that cities integrating green infrastructure, renewable energy, and public transportation reforms consistently demonstrate stronger resilience outcomes, and that longitudinal, adaptive governance strategies rather than one-time interventions sustain these gains over time. The novelty of this study lies in synthesizing globally dispersed case evidence on urban resilience with an underexplored national policy context (Pakistan), thereby offering a bridging perspective between international green-development discourse and localized disaster-resilience monitoring systems. This research offers practical insights for policymakers, planners, and communities seeking to integrate resilience and green development goals in both global and Pakistan-specific urban governance contexts.

Abstract

Prior studies on the determinants of employee performance report inconsistent findings regarding work facilities, work motivation, and soft skills, revealing a research gap that this study addresses by testing all three predictors simultaneously within a single organizational context. This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of work facilities, work motivation, and soft skills on employee performance at PT. ESGI in Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia. An associative quantitative design was employed, with data collected from 97 employees selected through incidental sampling using a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that work facilities have a significant negative effect on employee performance (β = −0.091; Sig. = 0.030), whereas work motivation (β = 0.377; Sig. < 0.001) and soft skills (β = 0.617; Sig. < 0.001) each have significant positive effects. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect employee performance (Sig. < 0.001; R² = 0.915). These findings suggest that motivational systems and soft-skill development contribute more strongly to performance than facility provision alone, offering practical implications for human resource strategy in the garment industry and a theoretical contribution to the debate on the facility-performance relationship.

Abstract

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has become an important driver of economic development, technology transfer, and regional competitiveness in ASEAN and East Asian countries. Nevertheless, previous empirical studies have produced inconsistent findings regarding the relative importance of macroeconomic variables and institutional factors in attracting foreign investment. This study aims to examine the effects of government expenditure, interest rates, exchange rates, net exports, and regulatory quality on FDI inflows across ten ASEAN and East Asian economies during the 2010–2024 period. The study employs balanced panel data consisting of 150 country-year observations obtained from international secondary databases. Panel data estimation is conducted using Common Effects, Random Effects, and Fixed Effects models, with Chow and Hausman tests indicating that the Fixed Effects Model is the most appropriate specification. The empirical results demonstrate that regulatory quality and government expenditure have positive effects on FDI inflows, whereas interest rates negatively affect foreign investment. Exchange rates and net exports exhibit relatively weak explanatory power, indicating that short-term macroeconomic variables are less influential once institutional factors are considered. These findings suggest that institutional quality, regulatory predictability, and efficient public expenditure play a more decisive role than conventional fiscal incentives in attracting sustainable foreign investment. The study contributes to the international investment literature by providing comparative evidence from ASEAN and East Asia and reinforcing the importance of an institutional political economy perspective in explaining FDI location decisions while offering practical guidance for policymakers seeking to improve long-term investment competitiveness.

Abstract

Macro-level competitiveness indices identify weak tourist-services infrastructure as a binding constraint on Uzbekistan’s tourism competitiveness, but the existing literature largely macro-level or demand-side in orientation does not reveal the micro-level, enterprise-structure origins of this deficit; closing this gap is the motivation for the present study. The objective of the research is threefold: to quantify the quality-certification structure of the accommodation stock across Uzbekistan’s thirteen regional units, to test whether quality-classified supply is associated with inbound international demand, and to characterize the composition of the travel-trade intermediation base. Methodologically, the study is a quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional analysis of secondary enterprise data for the 2023 reference year, compiled from the official registers of the Statistical Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan; descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis are applied across the thirteen regional units. The central finding is a pervasive quality-certification deficit: only about 7 percent of the country’s roughly 1,098 hotels hold any star classification, and four- and five-star properties are confined almost entirely to three heritage regions. Quality-classified supply is strongly and positively associated with inbound demand (r = 0.820, p < 0.001, n = 13). The findings imply that quality certification, upscale-segment development and a stronger tour-operator base are high-leverage, comparatively low-cost enterprise-policy instruments for raising Uzbekistan’s service-infrastructure competitiveness and dispersing demand beyond the heritage core. The main limitation is the cross-sectional design, which precludes causal inference and motivates future panel and firm-level research.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital payment systems has accelerated the adoption of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) across various sectors, including higher education. Although QRIS has become a widely used cashless payment method in Indonesia, empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness among university students remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of QRIS as a digital payment instrument among students and identify the factors influencing its use. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed by distributing online questionnaires to 90 active students selected through purposive sampling, representing 30% of the total population of 300 students using mobile banking or digital wallets. Effectiveness was measured using four indicators: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, time efficiency, and transaction security. The research instrument was tested for validity using Pearson product-moment correlation and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha, with all items meeting the accepted validity criteria and demonstrating satisfactory reliability (Cronbach's Alpha > 0.70). Descriptive statistical analysis revealed an average effectiveness index of 84.5%, indicating that respondents generally perceived QRIS as highly effective based on the predetermined assessment criteria. The primary factors supporting positive perceptions were transaction speed, convenience, and the elimination of the need for physical cash or change. However, internet connectivity instability and mobile device limitations, particularly low battery conditions, remained the main obstacles affecting transaction continuity. These findings contribute to the literature on digital payment adoption by providing empirical evidence on QRIS effectiveness among university students and offering practical insights for improving the quality and reliability of digital payment services in higher education environments.
