Infrastructure development is an effort to improve the quality of public services, particularly in regional development. One type of infrastructure that plays a crucial role in urban area management is the drainage system. The city of Semarang is an area with complex terrain, so the implementation of drainage projects must be optimized. In this context, the responsibility for implementing drainage projects lies with the Semarang City Public Works Department. However, various challenges are frequently encountered, and strict supervision is required during implementation. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of drainage project supervision in Semarang City to determine the accountability of the involved agencies. The optimization of drainage project supervision at the Semarang City Public Works Department can be viewed through the lens of Muchsan’s supervision theory, which emphasizes both external and internal controls. This includes preventive measures, such as contracts designed to prevent deviations, and corrective actions to address obstacles, ensuring the project proceeds as planned and operates optimally. This supervision involves a complex network of supervisory actors, including the Public Procurement Agency, the Internal Government Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), the State Audit Board (BPK), and the Public Works Department. The effectiveness of drainage project supervision in Semarang City heavily depends on aligning field operations with Law No. 30 of 2014 to address legal obstacles related to jurisdictional authority, which frequently pose challenges. Supervision must encompass administrative compliance to ensure legal certainty. Thus, optimal public benefit can be achieved.

Non-physical virtual dating services have emerged as a rapidly growing socio-digital phenomenon in Indonesia, driven by the post-pandemic acceleration of loneliness and persistent regulatory gaps. This study aims to identify the determinants of the emergence of this phenomenon, examine its existence from the perspectives of law, religion, philosophy, and digital policy, and formulate strategic recommendations based on integrative analysis. This study uses a qualitative method with a juridical-sociological approach with in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 informants (N=12) through purposive and snowball sampling. This study integrates Rosa's theory of social acceleration, Turkle's paradox of connectivity, Lukacs' reification, and Pound's law as social engineering. The findings identify four synergistic determinants: (1) the acceleration of loneliness exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) the diffusion of the Japanese Rental Kareshi model through digital platforms; (3) the gig economy's economic motives with low entry barriers, including for underage individuals; and (4) regulatory gaps in the ITE Law, the Pornography Law, the National Criminal Code, and the Human Trafficking Law. A multi-perspective review demonstrates the convergence of the four disciplines in assessing this phenomenon as a normatively problematic commodification of intimacy, but divergence in solution orientation. The integrative analysis recommends three systemic responses: the issuance of preventative technical regulations for Komdigi; strengthening the existing legal framework of the ITE Law, the TPKS Law, and the TPPO Law; and platform technical regulations to prevent the algorithmic distribution of content to vulnerable users.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the beauty industry has led to the innovation of electronic-based skin diagnostic services, one of which is AI in Skin Health Services. While offering convenience and personalized product recommendations, the use of this technology poses the risk of misdiagnosis that could potentially harm consumers. This study addresses two main issues: how to protect consumers from misdiagnosis by AI in Skin Health Services in Indonesia and the legal liability of business actors for the resulting losses. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach, through an analysis of provisions in the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and regulations related to electronic systems. The results show that AI in Skin Health Services can be qualified as an electronic service and system, thus making business actors responsible based on the principle of presumption of liability with a tendency towards strict liability to ensure protection and legal certainty for consumers.

The rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia represents a significant public health concern, particularly in relation to excessive sugar intake. This normative legal research seeks to examine the urgency of establishing excise regulation on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) as a strategic policy instrument for diabetes prevention and control. Using statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that although the SSB tax policy has not yet been enforced, it is supported by a solid legal foundation and strong policy justification. Such regulation has the potential to contribute to reducing sugar consumption while also strengthening health financing mechanisms. Accordingly, this research highlights the need to expedite the development and implementation of an SSB excise policy as part of a sustainable national health strategy.

This study aims to analyze how the TPS3R Program can be optimally implemented to meet the waste management standards stipulated in Government Regulation Number 81 of 2012. The main problem studied is the gap between normative provisions regarding waste reduction and handling based on the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) principle and its implementation conditions in various urban areas. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory regulatory approach linked to empirical conditions through a literature study of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The analysis is conducted by comparing normative provisions (das sollen) with the reality of implementation in the field (das sein). The results of the study indicate that normatively the legal framework related to TPS3R is adequate and provides a systematic, comprehensive, and sustainable basis for local governments in managing waste. However, in practice, various challenges remain, including limited facilities and infrastructure, dependence on regional budgets and community contributions for funding, uneven institutional capacity, and fluctuating levels of community participation. Differences in success rates between cities indicate that the program's effectiveness is greatly influenced by the synergy between regulations, institutional support, and changes in community behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen guidance, provide economic incentives, innovate waste processing technology, and improve coordination between stakeholders so that 3R-based waste management can run effectively, measurably, and sustainably.

Problems in the housing sector often position consumers in a weak position, especially in legal relationships involving developers who are in default against banks. This research aims to analyze the legal position of consumers in housing transactions when the consumer's certificate is guaranteed by the developer to the bank and what forms of legal protection efforts exist for consumers. The research method used is normative research with statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches. The research results show that the position of consumers in the Sale and Purchase Agreement is still weak and expectant because the rights owned by consumers are not yet full material rights, so consumers cannot yet be called the holder of ownership rights to the housing unit. Consumers who do not yet hold property rights make consumers vulnerable to developer default or disputes with third parties such as banks as creditors holding mortgage rights. Comprehensive legal protection, both preventive and repressive, is needed, realized through clear regulations, monitoring the implementation of agreements, and effective dispute resolution procedures. This research emphasizes the importance of strengthening the position of consumers in order to realize legal certainty and legal protection for housing consumers.

This study aims to analyze the parameters for designating land as expropriated and the mechanisms for providing compensation for community property rights in the construction of the Semarang-Demak Toll Road. The main issue arises when land that still holds economic value for residents is designated as expropriated, resulting in compensation shifting from conventional compensation to a Goodwill Fund, which is considered to offer insufficient legal certainty. The research method employed is a legal-empirical approach using a case study methodology. Primary data was collected through field interviews, while secondary data includes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The findings indicate that the designation of land as “expropriated” is based on cumulative parameters: changes in physical form, the loss of land boundaries, and the total loss of the land’s economic function. The regulatory transformation from Presidential Regulation No. 52 of 2022 to Presidential Regulation No. 27 of 2023 marks a significant paradigm shift, wherein the assessment of the Compensatory Fund is now professionally conducted by the Public Appraisal Services Office (KJPP) using the income capitalization method. Although land rights are legally and formally extinguished under the UUPA, the provision of the Redress Fund continues to be implemented as a social policy instrument reflecting the principle of distributive justice for affected groups. In conclusion, the effectiveness of this policy requires inter-agency collaboration through an Integrated Team as well as a more comprehensive legal reformulation to ensure that the protection of citizens’ economic rights remains safeguarded within National Strategic Projects.

Consumer Protection in the Distribution of Natural Medicines Containing Chemical Substances in E-Commerce: An Analysis Based on Law Number 8 of 1999 in Relation to Zudaifu Ointment Naifa Salma Ufaira; Duhita Driyah Suprapti

Advances in digital technology and the growth of e-commerce have broadened public access to various health products, including natural medicines. However, this development has also given rise to the distribution of products that do not meet established safety standards. This issue is evidenced by the circulation of natural medicines such as Zudaifu ointment, which is distributed without marketing authorization and contains pharmaceutical chemical substances. This discrepancy between product claims and actual composition poses health risks and indicates non-compliance with consumer protection regulations. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for consumers and the liability of business actors in the circulation of such products through e-commerce, based on Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches, with qualitative analysis through legal interpretation. The findings demonstrate that such distribution constitutes a violation of consumer protection laws, particularly concerning the statutory obligation of business actors to ensure product quality and the accuracy of product information. Sellers, as business actors, bear primary liability and are required to provide compensation for consumer losses if proven at fault. In addition, e-commerce platforms, as electronic system providers, bear indirect responsibility for supervising products within their systems. Accordingly, despite the existing regulatory framework, consumer protection in e-commerce remains constrained by gaps between statutory provisions and their enforcement. Therefore, strengthening supervisory mechanisms, ensuring compliance by business actors, and enhancing the role of digital platforms are necessary to safeguard consumer rights in the digital era.
