Abstract

The benthic biodiversity-rich but degradation-prone coastal waters of Pombo Island, Maluku, were mapped using high-resolution PlanetScope (3m) satellite imagery and field data through a random forest approach. The results showed the dominance of inner reef flat (54%) and sand substrate (39.62%), with 22.31% coral cover, while geomorphological analysis revealed a strong correlation between sheltered reef slope (18.78%) and benthic habitat distribution (85% classification accuracy). These findings not only prove the effectiveness of remote sensing technology for tropical ecosystem monitoring but also recommend zoning-based conservation strategies, particularly reef crest protection and seagrass rehabilitation, as a contribution to sustainable environmental management in line with SDG targets.

Abstract

Flood management is a series of efforts to prevent, reduce, and deal with the impacts of floods, which can threaten human safety, damage the environment, and disrupt social and economic activities. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a regulation on flood management and drainage management in Cirebon City. This research will use Qualitative methods. Data collection was carried out through interviews. This study found that limited trained human resources and insufficient budget hinder the implementation of flood management and drainage improvement programs. The condition of drainage infrastructure that needs maintenance, such as the number of channels damaged or blocked due to sedimentation and closure by buildings, is also a factor that causes waterlogging and flooding. This research contributes to the development of legal science, especially in environmental law and spatial planning law.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the service system in the Cardiology Clinic of RSUD Majalaya, with a specific focus on the implementation of the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) and online registration services. The background of this research is based on the increasing demand for efficient and high-quality healthcare services, particularly in specialist clinics that experience high patient volumes on a daily basis. Efficient service delivery is essential to ensure patient satisfaction, reduce overcrowding, and optimize clinical workflows. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, involving direct observation of service processes and in-depth interviews with administrative staff and patients. The findings indicate that the implementation of SIMRS and the online registration system has significantly contributed to the acceleration of administrative processes, reduced patient waiting times, and improved the overall quality of service. Patients who utilized the online registration system reported shorter queues and a more organized experience. However, several challenges remain, particularly regarding limited digital literacy among a segment of the patient population, as well as technical constraints related to internet connectivity and server stability. These issues can hinder the full utilization of digital services. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the hospital invest in continuous infrastructure improvements, provide digital literacy training or assistance for patients, and conduct periodic evaluations of system performance. Such measures are essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of digital healthcare services, thereby enhancing the patient experience and supporting overall healthcare delivery goals.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of the Community Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA) to evaluate public service quality in Banyuwangi's tourism sector. As tourism becomes a regional development priority post-pandemic, understanding citizens' perceptions is essential to ensure responsive governance. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach, the research draws on 2023 data from tourists and tourism actors. Results indicated an overall satisfaction score of 82.94 (“Good”), with highest satisfaction in staff behavior and lowest in complaint handling. IPA mapping identifies critical gaps in services such as accessibility, transportation, and complaint response, highlighting areas for urgent policy action. The integration of IKM and IPA proves effective in prioritizing service improvements and aligning tourism development with citizen needs. Comparative insights with global practices affirm the relevance of participatory, data-driven evaluation frameworks. The study recommends institutionalizing IKM+IPA for sustainable tourism governance.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of variations in banana corm and banana fronds on the odor and physical properties of solid organic fertilizer made from household waste. In addition, the research also aims to identify the differences in odor and physical characteristics between solid organic fertilizer based on EM4 and that based on banana corm and fronds. The method used is an experimental approach to test the effectiveness of organic fertilizers produced from different raw materials: banana corm, banana frond, rice-washing water, and household waste (predominantly rotten tape). The first treatment used a mixture of banana corm, banana fronds, rice-washing water, and household waste in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The second treatment consisted of banana fronds, rice-washing water, and household waste in a 1:1:1 ratio. The third treatment included banana corm, rice-washing water, and household waste, also in a 1:1:1 ratio. The fourth treatment used EM4, rice-washing water, and household waste in a ½:1:1 ratio. The results showed that on the first day, all treatments emitted a strong odor of tape and household waste. Over time, an acidic smell began to emerge, eventually turning into a fresh, earthy scent, particularly in treatments with banana corm and EM4. The color of the fertilizer changed from dark brown to blackish brown, indicating successful decomposition. The texture also changed from coarse to more crumbly and homogeneous. The treatment with EM4 showed faster fermentation and a more stable odor compared to the other treatments.

Abstract

The implementation of digital health policy in Indonesia has encountered various challenges related to both infrastructure and human resources. This literature review aimed to map gaps in digital health infrastructure and workforce capacity across urban, rural, and remote healthcare settings by systematically analyzing relevant national and international studies. Sources included peer-reviewed articles, scoping reviews, and preprints that examined electronic medical records, telemedicine, and other digital health interventions in various geographic and organizational contexts. The analysis revealed that urban areas generally have more advanced digital infrastructure, including integrated health information systems and electronic record platforms, whereas rural and remote regions face limited internet connectivity, insufficient hardware, and low digital literacy among healthcare personnel. Human resource gaps were also observed, including inadequate technical competencies, uneven distribution of staff, and organizational cultures that are not fully prepared to adopt digital health technologies. These disparities highlight the critical need for context-sensitive strategies, such as hybrid solutions combining cloud-based systems in urban centers with offline-capable platforms in low-connectivity regions, comprehensive training programs for healthcare staff, and supportive policies at both local and national levels. By synthesizing the current evidence on infrastructure and human resource gaps, this review provides a comprehensive overview that can guide policymakers, healthcare managers, and researchers in designing targeted interventions, prioritizing resource allocation, and promoting equitable adoption of digital health solutions across Indonesia.

Abstract

This study looks at how profitability functions as a moderator in the relationship between firm value and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in mining businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2020 and 2024. Based on the theories of Stakeholder, Signaling, and Slack Resources, the study used a quantitative causal–associative approach using panel data from eight mining companies that regularly released sustainability and annual reports that adhered to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. Profitability is determined by Return on Assets (ROA), CSR by the CSR Disclosure Index, and firm value by Tobin's Q. To analyze the data, moderated regression analysis (MRA) was used. The findings show that firm value is not significantly impacted by CSR, and that the link between CSR and firm value is not moderated by profitability, which neither directly affects nor directly influences firm value. These results imply that profitability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies alone are not enough to determine firm value in the context of Indonesian mining businesses. Theoretically, the study challenges the assumption that CSR and profitability are always value-enhancing, while practically it implies that managers and regulators must reconfigure CSR into integrated business strategies that generate measurable social and economic impact.

Abstract

Hospital X as one of the referral health facilities in the Cimahi area and its surroundings faces significant challenges in health claims management. This semi-digital process can result in significant financial losses and high operational costs. This research aims to build an application for the health claim verification process with the results of analysis at X Hospital. Developed a web-based health claims verification application with Agile methods that integrates ICD-10 standards and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate document checks, reduce human error, and speed up the verification process. The research uses agile methods with system development through Scrum. Key frameworks include Flask-Python (backend), Bootstrap 5 (frontend), and SQLite/PostgreSQL (database). Data is collected through interviews with medical staff and observation of existing verification processes. Implementation during 4 sprints resulted in a reduction in verification time from 3-5 days to <24 hours. The claim reduction is rejected from 8% to 2.5% through automatic validation. Multi-role system with 4 separate dashboards (admin, medical staff, verifier, participant). Pre-screening AI integration detects 92% of nominal anomalies of claims. This app is proven to improve verification accuracy and faster time efficiency. The success of the implementation of Agile is demonstrated by the ability to adapt to 12 changes in the requirements of the development time.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) contain seventeen goals that must be achieved by all United Nations (UN) member states by 2030. The goals to be achieved in order to realize sustainable development also include the marine and fisheries sector. Fisheries management policies of countries should be made by taking into account the SDGs in the marine and fisheries sector so that their implementation can encourage the realization of sustainable development. There are two problems studied in this paper, First, the background or philosophical basis for the preparation of the SDGs by states. Second, how the direction of sustainable fisheries management policies by states is based on the SDGs. This study uses a normative research method with an explanation and descriptive method. This study found that considering the content of the SDGs, states seek to advance several elements at once in achieving sustainable development. The elements are people, planet, prosperity, peace, and cooperation. State policies on sustainable fisheries management should consider the goals in the SDGs that have been adopted, especially Goals 1,2,6,12,13, and 14. Such policies are in line with international law and will be able to contribute to the fulfillment of the 17 Goals of the SDGs.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a persistently high prevalence of smoking, particularly among adolescents, necessitating innovative communication strategies to promote tobacco control. This study aims to analyze the strategy and impact of the Makassar Health Department’s collaboration with local influencers in disseminating anti-smoking educational videos on Instagram. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with program managers at the Makassar Health Department and observation of seven uploaded videos. Engagement Rate (ER) was calculated based on likes, comments, and shares to assess audience interaction. Results indicate that Instagram serves as an effective medium for health behavior change communication, reaching younger demographics through culturally resonant and emotionally engaging content. The collaboration with local influencers enhanced message relatability and expanded audience reach beyond official government channels. The highest ER was achieved by influencer Uyha Yasashaky with 296%, suggesting exceptionally high engagement and viral diffusion. The findings reveal that this partnership exemplifies the two-step flow of communication model, where trusted public figures act as intermediaries between health authorities and the public. Moreover, institutional leadership and resource support from the Makassar Health Department ensured message consistency and alignment with broader public health objectives. In conclusion, the strategic use of local influencers on social media proved to be a highly effective approach for amplifying tobacco control messages, increasing public engagement, and reinforcing healthy behavioral norms within the sociocultural context of Makassar.
