Abstract

Malinau Regency shares a border with Malaysia, but progress has been uneven. The Human Development Index rose to 74.72 in 2024, while the poverty rate also rose to 6.94 percent. Residents in remote sub-districts remain isolated and dependent on supplies from Malaysia. This study aims to map the opportunities and challenges for development in Malinau's border areas while developing strategies that balance security and well-being. The method used is a qualitative case study design. The population comprised communities and stakeholders in five border sub-districts: Kayan Hulu, Kayan Selatan, Bahau Hulu, Pujungan, and Sungai Boh. The sample was selected purposively, consisting of twelve key informants, ranging from regional planners, border managers, sub-district heads, and traditional leaders to traders, health workers, and teachers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. Data were summarized, presented, and conclusions were drawn, supported by a SWOT analysis using the IFAS and EFAS matrices. As a result, the biggest challenges are isolation, high costs in the region, cross-border dependencies, and fragmented coordination. Opportunities lie in resource wealth, indigenous social capital, and support for national priorities. An IFAS score of 2.37 and an EFAS score of 2.66 place Malinau in Quadrant I with coordinates of +0.75 and +0.70, respectively, suggesting an aggressive strategy. However, these opportunities can only be achieved if internal weaknesses are addressed first. In conclusion, Malinau's underdevelopment is structural. Opportunities will only be unlocked if connectivity, basic services, the local economy, and integrated data are improved within a welfare border framework.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the services of the Surabaya City Environmental Agency (DLH) in supporting sustainable development through controlling waste into the sea based on the principles of good governance. The background of this study is based on the urgency of the problem of coastal water pollution in Surabaya City due to the discharge of domestic and industrial waste that has not been fully controlled, resulting in a decline in the quality of the marine ecosystem and the welfare of coastal communities. This condition demands an in-depth evaluation of the quality of local government services in managing waste based on the principles of good governance. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that the transparency of the Surabaya City DLH services has been running quite well through the provision of information on digital media and socialization activities, although access to real-time environmental data is still limited. Service responsiveness is quite good with the availability of various public complaint channels, but is still hampered by limited personnel and monitoring technology. The effectiveness and efficiency of services are demonstrated by an increase in the Water Quality Index (IKA) from 52 in 2022 to 61 in 2025, as well as an increase in the number of communal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from 48 to 79. The novelty of this research lies in the integrated analysis of three dimensions of good governance in the context of urban coastal waste management services in Surabaya, a context that has not been widely studied specifically in Indonesia.

Abstract

Population administration services at the village level often experience innovation stagnation due to weak leadership initiative, limited institutional capacity, and bureaucratic resistance. This study analyzes policy entrepreneurship by the Village Head of Gredek, Gresik Regency, in promoting innovation in population administration services and identifies the supporting and inhibiting factors shaping the process. A qualitative instrumental case study was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven purposively selected informants, non-participant observation, and document review. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the village head performed a comprehensive policy entrepreneurship role through social acuity, layered problem framing, mutually beneficial coalition building, proactive use of policy windows, and evidence-based piloting. These practices produced six service innovations, reduced average document processing time by approximately 79%, and increased citizen satisfaction from 2.8 to 4.3 on a five-point scale. The study strengthens policy entrepreneurship literature in Indonesian village governance.

Abstract

Chronic nonspecific low back pain is a musculoskeletal problem that can interfere with physical activity and functional ability. Community empowerment is needed to improve knowledge and skills in implementing promotive and preventive efforts. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of cadres and the community through education and core stability exercise training. The activity was carried out at the Elderly Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) in Tohudan Village, Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. There were 30 participants, consisting of 8 cadres (26.7%) and 22 community members (73.3%). The activity was carried out through counseling using educational leaflets, demonstrations, core stability exercise practice with assistance, and strengthening the role of cadres. The results showed that all 30 participants participated in the activity and gained education and practical experience in preventing and reducing low back pain. Cadre involvement is essential to support the sustainability of training at the community level. Further evaluation using pre-post knowledge measurements and pain scores is needed to quantitatively measure the program's effectiveness.

Abstract

Education plays a vital role in developing human potential comprehensively, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. However, contemporary educational practice tends to privilege cognitive and academic achievement, often at the expense of students’ physical, moral, and spiritual growth. Although a growing body of research has examined Al-Farabi’s educational philosophy, most studies address his thought in general terms and have not specifically analyzed how physical–spiritual balance is articulated within his conception of educational aims. This study addresses that gap by analyzing the concept of physical and spiritual balance (jasmani–rohani) within Al-Farabi’s philosophy of educational objectives and its relevance for contemporary education. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through library research, primary and secondary sources on Al-Farabi’s educational philosophy were analyzed using content analysis. The findings show that Al-Farabi conceived education as a path toward happiness (al-sa’adah), attained through the harmonious cultivation of all human faculties. Physical balance is realized through bodily health and the cultivation of practical skills, while spiritual balance is cultivated through moral formation, intellectual development, and the strengthening of spiritual values, oriented toward the formation of the virtuous human being (al-insan al-kamil) within the framework of the virtuous city (al-madinah al-fadilah). These findings resonate strongly with contemporary educational goals that emphasize the holistic development of learners. Al-Farabi’s thought therefore offers a philosophical foundation for building a more holistic, humanistic, and character-oriented education system, one capable of responding to the erosion of moral character and student mental health documented in current Indonesian education discourse.

Abstract

Adolescents are a vulnerable population facing various risk behaviors, including the abuse of narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances (NAPZA), HIV/AIDS transmission due to limited reproductive health knowledge, and mental health problems that may affect character development and overall quality of life. These challenges highlight the importance of integrated educational interventions as a preventive strategy to improve adolescents' health literacy. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to enhance adolescents' knowledge of the dangers of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS prevention, and the importance of maintaining mental health, while fostering positive attitudes and healthy behaviors through a church-based community approach. The program was conducted at HKBP Duren Jaya Bekasi and involved 60 adolescents attending catechism classes. The activities employed interactive health education, group discussions, case studies, question-and-answer sessions, and evaluations using pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicated that participants gained a better understanding of the dangers of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS prevention, the importance of mental health, and the adoption of healthy and responsible lifestyles. Furthermore, the church-based educational approach encouraged active participation and strengthened positive character values in addressing various challenges faced by adolescents. The program demonstrates that collaboration between higher education institutions and churches is an effective strategy for improving health literacy while fostering healthy, resilient, and well-characterized adolescents.

Abstract

The management of operational data at PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Regional Division III Palembang still relies on Microsoft Excel as the primary medium for storing, processing, and presenting data. All data analysis is carried out manually, and information is still displayed in tabular form, making it difficult for users to quickly and comprehensively understand large volumes of data, identify patterns, or observe trends. This condition results in an inefficient and time-consuming monitoring and decision-making process, as the company has not yet had an automated dashboard capable of transforming Excel data into visual information. This study aims to analyze user requirements and design a web-based data visualization dashboard using the Prototype method, which consists of five stages: Communication, Quick Plan, Modeling Quick Design, Construction of Prototype, and Deployment, Delivery and Feedback. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and discussions with the Information Systems Division. System modeling was carried out using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Unified Modeling Language (UML), including Use Case Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, and Class Diagrams, while the user interface prototype was designed using Figma. The results show that the proposed dashboard is able to accommodate the functional and non-functional requirements identified, including Excel/CSV file upload, automatic data processing, data visualization in the form of bar charts, line charts, and pie charts, as well as statistical analysis (minimum, maximum, average, and sum). The resulting dashboard prototype is expected to serve as a reference for further system development, enabling faster, clearer, and more effective data monitoring and decision-making at PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Regional Division III Palembang.

Abstract

The accelerated formation of the Merah Putih Village/Sub-district Cooperative has raised fundamental issues. The cooperative's administrative structure was quickly established, but the recruited administrators were not necessarily capable of running the business, creating a gap between legality and operationalization. This study aims to evaluate the policy of establishing and recruiting cooperative administrators in North Kalimantan Province. The study employed a qualitative approach with an evaluative design based on William Dunn's six policy evaluation criteria. The study population was cooperative stakeholders in North Kalimantan, while the sample consisted of nine informants selected purposively in Tarakan, Nunukan, and Tana Tidung. Informants included government officials, village and sub-district heads, administrators, supervisors, assistants, and members. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was maintained through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that administrative achievement was high, but operational achievement was still limited. Recruitment through deliberation was legitimate, but not accompanied by standardized competency assessments. Coaching for administrators is also inadequate, and policy accuracy depends heavily on adaptation to local conditions. Research concludes that the quality of the recruitment process determines the success of the policy. Therefore, the government needs to establish minimum competency criteria, map the initial competencies of administrators, conduct practice-based training, provide appropriate mentoring, and shift the measure of success from mere establishment to functioning.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program is a large-scale affirmative policy, yet its national achievement has not been matched by effectiveness in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions that face distinctive structural barriers. This study aims to evaluate MBG implementation in remote areas using Edwards III's theory, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, while identifying its main inhibiting factors. The population comprised all MBG-recipient schools and their implementers in North Kalimantan Province. The quantitative sample was determined by purposive sampling and comprised 60 respondents from 20 schools, while the qualitative stage involved 10 informants selected through snowball sampling. The study used a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data from a Likert questionnaire were analyzed descriptively, then deepened with qualitative data from interviews, observations, and documentation that were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, after which both results were integrated. The results show that implementation was in the moderate category (3.19 on a 1 to 5 scale). The disposition dimension obtained the highest score (3.74) and resources the lowest (2.69). The main barriers were technical and logistical, namely transportation, the cold chain, limited personnel, and supply continuity, while implementers' high commitment tended to mask systemic weaknesses. The study concludes that MBG effectiveness in remote areas is constrained not by implementers' will but by the system's capacity to overcome geographical barriers, so that Edwards III's four variables need to be complemented by a fifth dimension, namely the socio-cultural suitability of local food.

Abstract

Development in sparsely populated villages in remote areas still faces structural barriers that have not been widely studied, especially in border areas such as Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan. This study aims to identify factors inhibiting development in sparsely populated villages, analyze the influence of population limitations on development achievements, and formulate appropriate policy recommendations. The study used a mixed approach with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative phase involved 92 respondents from 18 villages in 7 sub-districts selected through proportionate stratified random sampling, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The qualitative phase involved 12 purposive informants from three locus villages in Krayan, Lumbis, and Sebatik Sub-districts, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, then integrated through connecting and joint display techniques. The regression model proved significant with an R square of 0.616. Resources had a positive and significant effect, while Population Scale Barriers had a negative and significant effect on development achievements, while Communication, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure had no significant effect. Qualitative findings indicate that barriers are cumulative, that apparatus disposition is good despite limited capacity, and that geographic remoteness moderates the impact of small populations, as evidenced by the high achievement rates in villages with good access despite their small populations. This study concludes that population size is not the sole explanation for development barriers. Small populations interact with resource constraints and geographic remoteness, necessitating affirmative action policies based on a geographic difficulty index and a cluster approach between villages.
