Abstract

This study explores the process of acculturation and tolerance between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Budakeling Village, Bali, focusing on the concept of "menyama braya" as a foundation for fostering inter-religious harmony. Bali, known for its strong Hindu traditions, is a multicultural society where religious and cultural diversity coexist. The research aims to identify how the practice of "menyama braya," which signifies mutual respect and recognition of others as kin, facilitates peaceful cohabitation and cultural exchange between these two religious communities. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed, involving non-participant observation, interviews with community leaders, and documentation analysis. The findings highlight the significant role of "menyama braya" in promoting intercultural dialogue, as reflected in the adoption of Balinese identities by Muslim residents, as well as joint practices such as the megibung (shared meals), ngejot (food charity), and participation in Subak (irrigation systems), along with the use of Balinese language and arts. These practices not only represent cultural exchange but also strengthen social bonds and religious tolerance. The study concludes that the "menyama braya" concept plays a crucial role in maintaining unity and peace among different religious communities in Budakeling Village, supporting the idea that multiculturalism thrives through mutual respect and cultural integration.

Abstract

Social protection policy is one of the Government's efforts to ease the burden on communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This policy includes providing social assistance, subsidies, and economic stimulus. Analysis of the impact of social protection policies in Indonesia post-COVID-19 is essential to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of these policies. This analysis can also be used to provide better policy recommendations in the future. The research method uses descriptive qualitative with a post-positivism approach, which is a paradigm that emphasizes objectivity and rationality in research in analysing the impact of social protection policies in post-COVID-19 Indonesia. The research results show that these social protection programs' effects include increasing people's income, improving nutrition, increasing access to health services, and improving quality of life. Apart from that, these programs have also helped poor and vulnerable communities to become more independent and empowered. However, there are still several challenges in implementing social protection programs in Indonesia. These challenges include limited budgets, lack of coordination between programs, and low levels of community participation. To overcome these challenges, the Government needs to make various efforts, including increasing the budget for social protection programs, strengthening coordination between programs, and increasing community participation

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between peer social support and subjective well-being among street children. Street children are particularly vulnerable to negative emotional and psychological effects due to their harsh living conditions. This research used a quantitative approach with a correlational method to analyze the data. The sample consisted of 100 street children aged 12-18 years, selected through accidental sampling. The data were collected using questionnaires, and the relationship between the two variables was analyzed using Spearman's Rho correlation analysis. The subjective well-being of participants was measured using the scale developed by Diener, while social support was measured using the Sarafino scale. The results of the analysis indicated a significant positive correlation (r = 0.797, p < 0.01) between peer social support and subjective well-being. This means that higher levels of peer social support are associated with higher levels of subjective well-being in street children. The findings suggest that social support from peers plays a crucial role in enhancing the emotional and psychological health of street children. The study concludes that fostering positive peer relationships can improve subjective well-being, highlighting the importance of peer support in the lives of street children. Future research could explore other variables that influence subjective well-being to deepen our understanding of this issue complated.

Abstract

The use of technology in preventing illegal fishing (IUU) is critical in addressing the ongoing challenges in Indonesia's Natuna Sea, a region vulnerable to violations like illegal fishing, unauthorized vessels, and unlicensed resource exploration. The primary objective of this research is to explore the role of technology in enhancing the monitoring and enforcement of fishing regulations. Various technological tools, such as Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS), Humanless Underwater Sensor Technology (HUST), remote sensing, and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), are employed to improve surveillance capabilities. These technologies help track fishing vessels, detect suspicious activities, and gather evidence for legal enforcement. A qualitative descriptive research approach is used to analyze the effectiveness of these technologies and their integration into Indonesia's fisheries management system. Data is collected from secondary sources, including legal documents and research studies. The results show that VMS, AIS, and remote sensing have significantly improved the monitoring of fishing activities in the Natuna Sea. However, challenges such as limited data coverage, vulnerability to manipulation, and inter-agency coordination remain. The study concludes that while technology has proven effective in combating illegal fishing, further efforts are needed to enhance its implementation, including strengthening legal frameworks, political support, and inter-agency collaboration to ensure sustainable fisheries management in the region.

Abstract

Understanding voter behavior in Indonesia's diverse sociopolitical landscape is critical for fostering democratic participation. This qualitative study examines the multifaceted factors influencing electoral choices in the 2024 Indonesian General Election through the lenses of sociological, psychological, and rational choice theories. Employing case studies, interviews, and thematic analysis of existing literature, the research highlights the interplay between Indonesia’s entrenched ethnic, religious, and social cleavages and emerging technological and demographic shifts. Key findings reveal a generational divide: urban, educated voters exhibit heightened skepticism toward institutional politics, while rural communities remain influenced by traditional patronage networks. The 2024 elections underscore the dual dynamics of digital campaign strategies such as the viral "gemoy" rebranding tactic targeting Gen Z and persistent structural challenges like political polarization and regional disparities in electoral access. The study identifies how digital platforms amplify emotional appeals and identity politics, yet rational calculations around policy outcomes (e.g., economic welfare programs) remain pivotal. Recommendations emphasize the need to strengthen electoral integrity through transparent governance, equitable technological access, and narratives that bridge pragmatic governance objectives with sociocultural values. By synthesizing multidisciplinary insights, this research contributes to broader discourses on inclusive political engagement in pluralistic democracies, offering pathways to mitigate polarization and enhance democratic resilience in Indonesia’s evolving political ecosystem.

Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of the Pasaman Regency Communication and Information Office (Diskominfo) in implementing the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) and delivering public services, as mandated by national digital transformation agendas. In recent years, the Indonesian government has emphasized digital governance as a pathway to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public administration. Within this context, regional governments are expected to meet SPBE indicators as documented in annual performance reports such as LAKIP. The primary objective of this research is to assess how effectively Diskominfo Pasaman has implemented SPBE, identify enabling and inhibiting factors, and provide recommendations to strengthen regional digital governance. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design, the research draws on document analysis of the 2023 LAKIP report, supported by related regulations and strategic planning documents. The analysis reveals significant progress, with SPBE implementation rising from 20% in 2022 to 50% in 2023, supported by consistent BB predicate ratings in SAKIP assessments and overachievement in program realization (102.12%). However, the study also identifies critical constraints, including limited ICT human resources, regulatory delays, and infrastructure disparities in remote areas. The findings suggest that while numerical indicators show advancement, structural and strategic reforms are needed for sustainable digital transformation. This research concludes that regional SPBE success depends not only on technological tools but also on institutional readiness, legal frameworks, and inclusive access—highlighting the importance of holistic governance in Indonesia’s digital reform efforts.

Abstract

As Indonesia intensifies its commitment to evidence-based governance and performance accountability through frameworks like SAKIP, there is growing urgency to evaluate the effectiveness of key institutions such as BP Batam. Positioned as the governing body for a strategic Free Trade Zone, BP Batam is tasked with managing licensing, investment, and asset optimization amidst complex regulatory and environmental challenges. This study investigates BP Batam’s governance performance in 2024, which, despite notable successes in investment realization and public satisfaction, calls for a deeper strategic analysis to assess the sustainability and inclusivity of these outcomes. The purpose of this research is to assess institutional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats using a SWOT framework in order to provide actionable recommendations for policy refinement and governance enhancement. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzes secondary data, including the 2024 LAKIP report and related policy documents, selected through purposive sampling. Data were interpreted using thematic content analysis and SWOT matrix coding. The findings indicate that while BP Batam has surpassed its economic targets, it faces internal challenges such as uneven service quality, limited digital integration, and low stakeholder participation. Externally, overlapping jurisdiction and ecological vulnerabilities pose strategic risks. The conclusion emphasizes the need for digital governance acceleration, stakeholder-centered engagement, and regulatory synchronization to transform BP Batam into a model of inclusive and resilient governance.

Abstract

The transformation of digital payment systems has become a central focus of Indonesia’s financial inclusion agenda. One of the strategic policies in this context is the implementation of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard), launched by Bank Indonesia in 2019. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the QRIS policy in Indonesia from 2019 to 2025, using the theoretical and analytical framework of Mazmanian & Sabatier’s Policy Implementation Theory and Model. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through literature review, policy document analysis, and secondary data from Bank Indonesia. The analysis focuses on six key variables derived from the theory: policy clarity, available resources, characteristics of implementing agencies, external environmental support, target group responses, and socio-economic conditions. The findings reveal that although the QRIS policy objectives are clearly defined and supported by adequate technological infrastructure, its implementation still faces challenges in digital literacy, adoption disparities across regions, and limited outreach to the informal sector. The coordination between implementing institutions also varies in effectiveness. In conclusion, while the national implementation of QRIS shows significant progress, its overall effectiveness depends heavily on strengthening human resources, improving policy communication strategies, and adapting to local socio-economic contexts. These findings contribute to the evaluation of technology-based public policy and offer a foundation for enhancing the effectiveness of future digital financial policies.
