Abstract

The Malay society emphasizes moral education through pantang larang (prohibitions or taboos), which are deeply embedded in cultural and Islamic teachings. These prohibitions act as tools to guide children’s behavior and shape their moral character, instilling values such as respect, discipline, and responsibility. This research explores the role of pantang larang in moral learning for Malay children. The study's objective is to analyze the relevance and application of pantang larang in shaping moral education and address its challenges in modern society. A literature review method was employed, drawing on scholarly articles, journals, and books that discuss cultural practices, Islamic teachings, and character development. The analysis revealed that pantang larang contributes significantly to moral education by subtly guiding children through prohibitions that align with ethical principles, such as respecting elders and avoiding harmful behaviors. It also reflects local wisdom and reinforces virtues essential for maintaining social harmony. However, the study highlights the challenge of preserving pantang larang amidst globalization and modern cultural shifts. Results suggest that integrating pantang larang into contemporary educational settings through innovative methods, such as digital storytelling, can help retain its moral lessons while engaging younger generations. The conclusion underscores that pantang larang remains a vital cultural tool for character formation, with universal moral values applicable beyond Malay society. Modernizing its teaching methods while preserving its essence can ensure that pantang larang continues to nurture ethical and culturally grounded individuals in an evolving global context.

Abstract

Government performance evaluation is a critical instrument in achieving good governance. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the Cultural Service of Kepulauan Riau Province by analyzing the achievement of strategic objectives in 2023. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing data from the 2023 Government Performance Accountability Report (LAKIP). The analysis focused on key performance indicators, including the enhancement of cultural-based tourism destinations and the preservation of Malay culture. The findings indicate that the economic value of culture achieved 100% of its target, reflecting the successful optimization of local artists as drivers of the creative economy. Furthermore, the cultural expression value reached 95.92%, and the cultural heritage value exceeded the target at 109.28%, demonstrating the effectiveness of preservation programs for both tangible and intangible heritage. However, the evaluation identified challenges such as coordination gaps due to inconsistent government nomenclature, inadequate advocacy for cultural rights protection, and limited use of technology in cultural promotion. The study concludes that the performance of the Cultural Service of Kepulauan Riau Province in 2023 was generally strong, with significant achievements in strategic targets. Nonetheless, improvements are needed in coordination, advocacy, and technological innovation to ensure the sustainability of cultural programs. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for more effective, efficient, and results-oriented policy development.

Abstract

The rapid urbanization in Indonesia over the past two decades has brought complex governance challenges, particularly in managing smart city programs that require multi-stakeholder collaboration, technological innovation, and inclusive policy-making. While collaborative governance has been widely studied in global contexts, its application in Indonesia demands adaptation to local socio-cultural values such as mutual cooperation and deliberative consensus. This study aims to map and analyze the development of research on collaborative governance for smart city programs in Indonesia from 2010 to 2024, identifying knowledge structures, thematic trends, and collaboration networks. Employing a quantitative bibliometric approach, data were collected from the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using systematically designed search strings, screened through the PRISMA protocol, and analyzed with Bibliometrix and VOSviewer software. The findings indicate a steady growth in publications, with seminal works by Ansell & Gash (2008) and Nam & Pardo (2011) serving as key theoretical foundations. Research increasingly integrates governance theory with technology adoption and community engagement, supported by international collaborations involving countries such as the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. However, gaps remain in operationalizing collaborative governance at the local level and aligning national policies with municipal autonomy. This study concludes that advancing Indonesia’s smart city agenda requires governance frameworks that are both technologically forward looking and culturally grounded. The bibliometric insights provide a roadmap for policymakers, academics, and practitioners to design sustainable, inclusive, and context-sensitive urban governance strategies that bridge global innovations with local realities

Abstract

Port infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth, connectivity, and public services, particularly in archipelagic regions such as Indonesia. Roro Dompak Port in Tanjungpinang City is a strategic transportation hub connecting the Riau Islands Province to surrounding areas, yet it has faced challenges in infrastructure quality, service efficiency, and user comfort. This study aims to analyze public perception of the port’s revitalization program and its impact on service quality and passenger satisfaction. A quantitative survey approach was applied, involving 518 purposively selected respondents, including passengers, vehicle owners, and logistics operators. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire covering service aspects such as cleanliness, security, facilities, officer responsiveness, ticketing, and departure flow, measured using the Community Satisfaction Index (CSI). The findings indicate that overall satisfaction falls within the “less good” category, with an average score of 2.95. While 66.7% of respondents rated waiting room cleanliness as “good” and improvements such as canopies and parking arrangements positively influenced comfort, other areas require enhancement. The revitalization has been well-received by the public, particularly in terms of new facilities and better passenger experience, but gaps remain in infrastructure capacity and operational performance. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of aligning technical upgrades with community needs, enhancing service transparency, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to ensure sustainable port development. The results provide empirical insights to guide strategic improvements that can strengthen Roro Dompak Port’s role in regional economic integration and maritime connectivity.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Indonesia's social protection policies, focusing on two key programs: Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) and Bantuan Sosial Pangan (BSP). The research addresses the broader issue of poverty and social inequality in Indonesia, with particular attention to the challenges faced by vulnerable populations, including low-income families, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The study's purpose is to assess how well these social protection programs are achieving their intended outcomes of poverty alleviation and social inclusion. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing secondary data from government reports, program evaluations, and relevant academic literature. The study analyzes the policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation processes of these programs through the lens of Dunn’s Circular Policy Evaluation Model, which emphasizes problem identification, policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. The findings indicate that while PKH and BSP have contributed to immediate poverty relief and food security, they have not addressed the underlying structural causes of poverty, such as limited access to education and healthcare. The research concludes that although the programs provide significant short-term benefits, their long-term effectiveness is limited due to logistical challenges in program delivery and the failure to integrate broader development goals. The study suggests that future social protection strategies should focus on sustainable poverty reduction by addressing the root causes of inequality and improving service delivery mechanisms.

Abstract

This research addresses persistent challenges in Indonesia’s agribusiness sector, including limited access to information, climate change, market fluctuations, and unequal technological adoption. The study aims to design a public innovation model integrating digital education to foster a sustainable agribusiness ecosystem. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were obtained through an extensive literature review of scholarly works, policy documents, and reports from international organizations. Thematic analysis and triangulation were applied to identify patterns, challenges, and best practices. The resulting model, Agro-EduHub 5.0, is a community-based hybrid platform linking education, smart farming technology, digital marketing, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Key features include a hybrid governance model, hyperlocal AI language support, NFT-based incentives, predictive policy dashboards, creative economy villages, agricultural incubators, and CSR-led pilot projects. These innovations address the digital divide, enhance local adaptability, and encourage environmentally friendly practices. The model fosters active participation, cultural relevance, and policy responsiveness, strengthening both resilience and farmer empowerment. It concludes that implementing Agro-EduHub 5.0 through pilot regions and a digital agribusiness consortium will accelerate technology adoption, integrate local wisdom, and promote shared value creation between public and private sectors, ultimately supporting inclusive and sustainable agribusiness transformation.

Abstract

The evolving socio-political, economic, and technological landscapes of the 21st century demand a critical reassessment of governance theory to ensure its relevance in addressing complex and dynamic challenges. This study aims to revisit classical and contemporary approaches by examining their strengths, limitations, and applicability to modern public administration. Employing an integrative literature review, the research synthesizes conceptual and empirical insights from governance paradigms including network governance, collaborative governance, and adaptive governance sourced from leading academic databases. The analysis reveals that while classical hierarchical models provide structural stability and clear authority, they are increasingly inadequate for responding to transnational issues such as climate change, pandemics, technological disruption, and global inequality. Conversely, contemporary paradigms highlight the importance of flexibility, stakeholder collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making supported by digital transformation. The findings indicate that effective governance in the 21st century requires an integrated framework that balances normative ideals of transparency, accountability, and inclusivity with practical imperatives of responsiveness, resilience, and innovation. This synthesis underscores the necessity of feedback mechanisms, organizational learning, and multi-level coordination to navigate uncertainty and create sustainable public value. The study concludes that the future of governance lies not in discarding classical theories entirely, but in reconfiguring them through a comprehensive model that harmonizes structural order with adaptability, thus equipping institutions to manage global complexities while preserving legitimacy and public trust.

Abstract

Good governance emphasizes transparency and accountability, which are increasingly facilitated through digital media, particularly social media platforms that provide rapid, interactive, and borderless communication. In Indonesia, Law Number 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure mandates openness as a democratic right, yet challenges remain in ensuring accessibility, accuracy, and the prevention of misinformation. Against this background, this study aims to examine the influence of public information disclosure and the use of social media by the Probolinggo City Government on public trust. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires, observation, and documentation involving 100 respondents who actively follow and engage with the official Instagram account @probolinggoimpressive. Data analysis employed Partial Least Squares (PLS) to test convergent validity, discriminant validity, reliability, and structural model relationships. The findings indicate that both information transparency and social media utilization significantly influence public trust, with information transparency contributing 40.8% and social media utilization contributing 39.1% to variations in trust. Hypothesis testing confirmed that the effects of both independent variables on public trust are statistically significant (p < 0.05). The study concludes that consistent and transparent information delivery, coupled with active use of social media, strengthens government credibility and enhances public trust. These results provide practical implications for local governments to adopt more modern, flexible, and two-way communication strategies while addressing the risks of misinformation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Nikah gantung is a marriage practice that is religiously valid, yet the couple does not live together or fulfill domestic obligations such as financial support. This phenomenon is commonly found in several traditional communities in Indonesia, primarily as an effort to preserve family honor, avoid premarital sex, or due to economic reasons. However, behind this practice lies a serious discrepancy between religious norms, customary law, and state legal regulations—particularly in terms of marriage registration, legal protection, and minimum marriage age. This study aims to critically analyze the tension among religious, customary, and state institutions in defining the legality of nikah gantung. It also explores how the power relations among these three institutions shape the meaning of what constitutes a "valid" marriage, and how this affects the protection of women's and children's rights. The method used is a qualitative literature study with a critical discourse analysis approach. Data were obtained from previous studies on nikah gantung, Islamic family law, civil law, and anthropological research on customary practices. The analysis applies Michel Foucault’s theory of power, particularly the concepts of governmentality, regime of truth, and symbolic discipline. The findings reveal that marriage legality in the context of nikah gantung is not neutral, but rather the result of competing discourses: the state demands administrative certainty, religion emphasizes sacred legitimacy, and customary norms operate through shame and honor. This research concludes with a call for a more integrative, just, and rights-oriented approach to family law that respects cultural diversity.

Abstract

Patriotism, as a form of collective loyalty to the nation, is a complex phenomenon shaped by competing cultural and philosophical frameworks. Contemporary debates often contrast multiculturalist perspectives, which promote inclusivity and civic values, with ethnoculturalist views that emphasize homogeneity rooted in ethnicity, language, or cultural heritage. This study aims to examine patriotism within these contrasting paradigms and to explore their implications for national identity, social cohesion, and political life. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, the research synthesizes theoretical insights from anthropology, sociology, political science, and philosophy. The analysis highlights that multiculturalist approaches view patriotism as inclusive, fostering unity through diversity and shared civic responsibility, while ethnoculturalist perspectives tend to reinforce exclusivity, privileging dominant cultural groups and marginalizing minorities. Findings further reveal that extreme forms of cosmopolitanism and nationalism each pose challenges, potentially weakening cohesion by drawing citizens toward polarized positions. Between these poles, patriotism is understood as a socially constructed sentiment mediated by rituals, symbols, and collective memory, requiring both integrity and responsibility. The study concludes that a balanced form of patriotism integrating civic values with cultural recognition offers a more sustainable framework for pluralistic societies. By navigating between multiculturalism and ethnoculturalism, this research underscores the importance of moderation in cultivating national solidarity without erasing cultural differences.
