Abstract

Background The door-to-door import scheme has become a common import implementation pattern in Indonesian trade practices. The door-to-door import scheme is an import scheme where imported goods are delivered directly to the recipient's destination address through the use of a third party, such as a freight forwarder, so that the recipient does not have to take care of everything related to the import process. This study aims to 1) analyze the legality of the door-to-door import scheme; 2) analyze the advantages and risks of the door-to-door import scheme; and 3) the tax implications of using the door-to-door import scheme. Methods This study uses a normative juridical approach and a literature study method. Data in this study are sourced from laws and regulations, specifically the Customs Law and Tax Law, and uses secondary legal sources in the form of books, journals, and legal research. Results The results of the study found that 1) the legality of the door-to-door import scheme is highly dependent on the import scheme or process carried out; 2) the door-to-door import scheme provides benefits and advantages for importers, because they do not have to carry out the process directly. Conclusion However, the scheme poses several risks, such as legal risks, risks related to transparency, and risks of financial loss. and the door-to-door import scheme has implications for tax mechanisms in import activities, particularly in relation to the input tax credit mechanism, both for income tax (PPh) and VAT, because it eliminates the importer's right to credit input VAT and calculate Article 22 Income Tax as a tax credit.

Abstract

Background The digital era requires political parties to adapt rapidly in managing communication and building their public image. This study aims to analyze the political communication strategy of the Regional Executive Board (DPD) of the Democratic Party of East Java through the use of social media in building a positive political image among constituents. Methods This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with key informants from the Strategic Communication Agency (Bakomstra) board and virtual observations of the party's official social media accounts, such as Instagram and Facebook. Results The results indicate that the DPD of the Democratic Party of East Java constructs its political image through three main strategic pillars: (1) localization of political messages using a cultural proximity approach towards the subcultures of East Java; (2) consistency of visual identity and the transfer of character image (political branding); and (3) responsiveness in cyber crisis management along with interactive two-way communication. Conclusion The hybrid strategy, which combines the strength of digital socialization with offline grassroots actions, has proven to be an effective solution in bridging the digital divide, while successfully transforming the party's social media from a mere one-way publication tool into an inclusive political stage and deliberative space.

Abstract

Background This study aims to analyze the political communication strategy implemented by the East Java Regional Leadership Council (DPW) of the National Awakening Party (PKB) through the Instagram account @dpwpkbjatim and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its use as a political communication medium. Methods This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research analysis uses Anwar Arifin's Political Communication Strategy theory, which includes aspects of knowing the audience, composing messages, determining methods, and selecting communication media. Results The results show that the Instagram account @dpwpkbjatim is used to convey information about party activities, build a political image, and establish communication with the public through various Instagram features. Supporting factors for Instagram use include the high number of users, interactive features, organizational support, and the development of digital technology. Inhibiting factors include consistency in content production, diversity of audience characteristics, changes in the Instagram algorithm, and limited resources. Conclusion This study shows that Instagram has become an important medium in supporting the political communication of the East Java PKB DPW in the digital era.

Abstract

Background Padang City is vulnerable to flooding because of its coastal and low-lying areas, high rainfall, and drainage systems that are not yet fully optimal. Drainage management is therefore an important part of government efforts to prevent and reduce flood risk. This study aims to describe and analyze drainage management by the Padang City Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) in flood prevention. Methods This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using George R. Terry’s management functions: Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC). Data we collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document reviews. Results The four management functions have generally been implemented, although several constraints remain. The 2025 Drainage Master Plan covers 224 channels with a total length of approximately 237.5 km. of the 1,159 channel segments analyzed, 212 (18.3%) do not meet the planned discharge capacity. Conclusion Drainage management by the Padang City PUPR Department provides an important foundation for flood prevention and broadly reflects the POAC functions. However, its effectiveness needs to be strengthened through improved institutional capacity, additional technical personnel, adequate budget support, implementation of drainage zoning, and sustained community participation.
