Abstract

Poverty is increasingly understood as a multidimensional phenomenon that involves limited access to education, healthcare, and social welfare rather than merely low income. In Indonesia, the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH), a conditional cash transfer initiative, has been implemented to alleviate poverty while promoting human capital development. However, beyond its economic contribution, the way beneficiaries interpret and socially construct the program remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to analyze how PKH is socially constructed as a poverty alleviation instrument at the community level. This research employed a qualitative case study approach conducted in North Lemito Village, Pohuwato Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving PKH beneficiaries, facilitators, and community representatives. The data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model to identify patterns of meaning, perceptions, and experiences related to the program’s implementation. The findings show that PKH is socially constructed as an important support mechanism that improves access to education, healthcare services, and basic household welfare. Beneficiaries perceive the program as reducing financial pressure, encouraging children’s school participation, promoting preventive health behavior, and stabilizing daily living conditions. Nevertheless, PKH is generally viewed as complementary support rather than a comprehensive solution to poverty, as structural economic constraints and rising living costs continue to shape household vulnerability. These findings suggest that strengthening PKH requires not only financial assistance but also integration with broader empowerment initiatives to support sustainable poverty reduction.

Abstract

The revision of the Law on User-Generated Content (UGC) has sparked public debate because it is perceived as potentially limiting freedom of expression. This study examines the implications of the policy, particularly the requirement for content verification through the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), and its impact on society and the broadcasting ecosystem. Using a qualitative policy analysis approach based on literature review, media reports, and relevant usage data, this study evaluates the relevance and effectiveness of the regulation. The findings indicate that the verification policy may create practical difficulties, especially considering that approximately 34.7–54.8% of media consumption is dominated by UGC platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. Additionally, KPI is traditionally positioned as a supervisory body for broadcasting institutions rather than individual content creators, leading to regulatory ambiguity. These results suggest that the policy requires further review to avoid negative social impacts, including restrictions on public expression. Collaboration between government, media, and society is essential to maintain nationalism while safeguarding freedom of expression, ensuring that regulatory policies support a healthy broadcasting ecosystem without suppressing public participation.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between coalition politics and governability through a comparative analysis of legislative-executive relationship dynamics in post-reform Indonesia (1999–2024). Adopting a mixed methods approach that integrates secondary statistical analysis, document analysis, and process tracing across six government periods, this study tests the proposition that coalition configuration directly determines governmental capacity. Findings demonstrate that coalition size does not correlate linearly with governability; the most determinant variable is the quality of legislative-executive coordination mechanisms, particularly hybrid mechanisms that combine institutionalized formal forums with informal coordination channels. This study also identifies a normative paradox whereby high procedural governability potentially sacrifices the quality of democratic deliberation when coalitions achieve excessive dominance. Theoretically, these findings extend the veto player theory framework and coalition governance by demonstrating that in Southeast Asian presidentialism, the institutionalization of coordination mechanisms not merely seat arithmetic constitutes the primary prerequisite for sustainable governability.

Abstract

Crime is a multidimensional social phenomenon that is closely associated with regional socioeconomic conditions. This study aims to classify the 34 provinces of Indonesia based on combined crime and socioeconomic indicators using the K-Means clustering method to support evidence-based public policy formulation. The analysis utilised secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), comprising three crime indicators—narcotics-related crimes, theft, and physical violence—and three socioeconomic indicators: the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and the Human Development Index (HDI). Prior to clustering, all variables were standardised, and the optimal number of clusters was determined using the Elbow and Silhouette methods, which identified a two-cluster solution (K = 2). The results revealed substantial disparities in crime and socioeconomic characteristics across provinces. Cluster 1, consisting of DKI Jakarta, North Sumatra, West Java, and East Java, exhibited higher levels of crime, economic activity, and unemployment. In contrast, Cluster 0 comprised the remaining provinces and was characterised by lower crime rates and less intensive socioeconomic dynamics. The findings indicate that provinces with higher unemployment and greater economic concentration tend to experience higher crime rates, supporting strain theory and previous empirical studies. This study contributes to the literature by integrating multiple crime and socioeconomic indicators within an unsupervised machine learning framework to identify provincial typologies that can inform differentiated, place-based policies for crime prevention and regional development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates regional development patterns in West Java Province by examining the relationships among population density, the Human Development Index (HDI), and life expectancy, while also identifying regional characteristics through K-means clustering analysis. The study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these indicators, evaluate their linear relationships, and classify districts and municipalities according to their development profiles. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and K-means clustering. Secondary data were obtained from official government publications. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between population density and HDI, as well as between population density and life expectancy. The clustering analysis identified two distinct groups: highly urbanized and densely populated areas characterized by higher HDI scores and longer life expectancy, and less densely populated districts exhibiting comparatively lower levels of human development. These results underscore persistent disparities in regional development between urban and non-urban areas in West Java, which are associated with unequal access to education, healthcare services, and infrastructure. The study provides empirical evidence that can support regional governments in designing more targeted and equitable development policies tailored to the specific characteristics and needs of each cluster.

Abstract

The feasibility of facilities and infrastructure in primary schools is a crucial indicator for evaluating the quality of education in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the condition of school facilities and infrastructure, identify patterns of interregional disparities, and evaluate the potential of crowdfunding as an alternative funding mechanism. A quantitative approach employing K-means clustering was used to group primary schools based on their facility and infrastructure conditions. The data used were secondary data from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology’s Open Data Portal, including information on educational units, student numbers, teacher qualifications, and classroom conditions. The analysis was conducted in two stages: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and clustering, with evaluation using the silhouette score. The results indicate significant disparities in facilities across provinces, particularly in classroom conditions and teacher qualifications. The clustering results categorize schools into three groups based on facility and infrastructure conditions: low, medium, and high. The findings show that eastern Indonesia has the highest funding needs, suggesting that crowdfunding can serve as a strategic mechanism to support equitable improvement of primary education quality through cross-sector collaboration. This study provides practical contributions for the government, schools, and communities in designing more adaptive and sustainable education funding strategies.

Abstract

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), despite operating under a royal system of government, has pursued significant advancements in children's rights. This paper employs a qualitative descriptive design to examine child protection implementation in the UAE during the leadership of Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, analyzing key legal instruments, particularly Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 (Wadeema's Law), and institutional programs under the Children's Safety framework, including the Child Protection Unit, Child Protection Committee and Centre, and Child Safety Department. Using Rosenau's political behavior framework, the study analyzes how leadership personality and executive authority have shaped child protection policy. Findings indicate measurable progress in specific domains, particularly health and protection, as reflected in successive KidsRights Index editions, while persistent gaps remain in the structural conditions necessary for comprehensive realization of children's rights, most notably in the enabling environment domain. This study offers comparative insights for countries, particularly those in the Middle East, seeking to strengthen child protection policies while navigating the intersection of international human rights standards and domestic legal traditions.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed the relationship between the state, media, and society. Beyond facilitating communication and information exchange, digital infrastructure increasingly functions as a strategic arena for shaping public narratives and political legitimacy. This study examines how data and statistics can be utilized as instruments of information control within the digital media ecosystem and explores their implications for democratic governance. Using a qualitative approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this study analyzes scholarly works on digital authoritarianism, media control, data governance, disinformation, and political communication published between 2019 and 2025. The analysis reveals that contemporary information control extends beyond censorship and digital surveillance to include the strategic selection, framing, and presentation of statistical data. In this context, public data can influence how citizens interpret social realities and evaluate government performance. Based on these findings, this study develops the concept of statistical authoritarianism, which refers to the use of data and statistics as instruments for constructing political legitimacy and shaping public perception without relying on overt repression. The study contributes to the literature by distinguishing statistical authoritarianism from digital authoritarianism and disinformation while highlighting the growing significance of data-driven power in contemporary digital societies.
