<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on enhancing community participation in government decision-making processes in Surabaya City. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey method with a sample of 500 respondents selected through random sampling from various neighborhoods in the city. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the use of ICT significantly increases community participation in government decision-making. Approximately 80% of respondents reported easier access to government information through official websites and applications. Moreover, about 75% of respondents stated that ICT enables them to provide direct feedback and opinions to the government, enhancing transparency and accountability in decision-making processes. However, around 20% of respondents still face challenges in accessing technology and lack digital literacy. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve accessibility and understanding of technology among the community to achieve broader and more equitable participation.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper examines the workings of local politics during the Regional Head Election of Buleleng Regency, Bali with regards to the voter preference, institutional support, campaign approaches and political activity. A stratified random sampling, the quantitative research design and structured questionnaires were deployed to collect data analyzed by the descriptive and inferential statistical methods i.e., t-tests, regression analysis, ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Findings indicate that the expenditure of campaigns and the attractiveness of candidates play a great role in determining the preferences of the voters whereas satisfaction of the candidates very strongly relates with increased voter turnout. There was moderate levels of confidence in the local government especially among voters below the ages of 30 years and who were more educated and a feeling political cynicism was on the rise. Furthermore, the number of the youth who turned out to vote was very low and participation in other ways of engaging the civic life was low. These results bring to fore the essentiality of strategic campaign communique, institutional trust-building, and cult of engagement culturally embedded towards influencing electoral outcomes. This research can be used to comprehend the wider picture of subnational democratic practices and find some viable alternatives to promoting the quality of policies and inclusion characterizing local government in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[The role of faith as a pillar of constructing ethical values and social norms continues to be historically present in different societies and cultures. Based on holy books and explanations by church leaders, religious teachings are sources of morality that guide personal behavior and relationship with others. The Ten Commandments of Judaism and Christianity and the Five Pillars of Islam prescribe doctrinal systems which govern issues of justice, compassion and responsibility. The moral orientation of the followers is further defined by the spiritual institutions, which through hierarchical institutions and charismatic leaders provide guidance, pastoral care and direction to the followers in times of crisis or societal change. The psychological and sociological approaches help to clarify how religion shapes moral values and norms. Cognitive theories highlight inherent tendencies which underpin faith in the sacred whereas sociological theories focus on the influence of religious institutions in promoting cohesion and behavioral control. Empirical studies reveal that there is a positive relationship between religious commitments and prosocial behavior but the effect sizes differ across traditions and cultures. In spite of the pluralism and diversity, interfaith dialogue and advocacy opens the possibilities to improve cooperation and understanding. Societies can use the transformative power of faith to create more inclusive, just, and caring societies by embracing diversity and developing dialogue.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to evaluate the social and economic impacts of migration triggered by climate change in Indonesia, with a focus on Central Kalimantan, South Sumatra and East Java. Research methods involve case studies, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to obtain comprehensive data from migrants and host communities. The results show that migrants often experience social isolation and difficulties in integrating into local communities, while host communities face social tensions and increased burdens on basic services. Economically, migrants experience difficulties in finding suitable work and face rising living costs. These findings highlight the need for better support for migrants, improved infrastructure and social services in host communities, and the development of more responsive and evidence-based migration policies. In conclusion, a holistic approach involving multiple stakeholders is essential to effectively manage the impacts of migration, support social integration, and improve economic well-being in affected regions.]]>

<![CDATA[The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Neighborhood Watch Programs (NWPs) in burglary prevention in urban neighborhoods by filling some of the gaps in the literature by using a quasi-experimental research design and strong statistical methods. Data sources: police records, community surveys and interviews samples from neighbourhoods with and without NWPs Descriptive statistics showed significantly reduced burglary rates in NWP areas (M = 4.5) compared with non-NWP areas (M = 7.3) with a statistically significant difference (t = -5.32, p < .001, respectively). Further ANOVA, ANCOVA and multiple regression analyses confirmed that NWPs have a significant effect on burglary reduction, independent of property socioeconomic status or police presence. Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between community involvement and burglary rate (r=-0.67, p<0.001), thus reaffirming the strong relevance of community involvement in the crime prevention context. These findings support the strong deterrent effect of NWPs on burglary and hold important implications for policy makers and law enforcement. The promotion and facilitation of NWPs is a potential key intervention in urban crime prevention and future research should test their effectiveness with regards to broader crime categories and program level outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[This quantitative research looks at the reasons and steps to fixing the racial inequity in the juvenile justice system and the roles played by the socioeconomic status, implicit bias, and school disciplinary measures. With the help of the in-depth processing of juvenile justice files, disciplinary records in schools, and socioeconomic indicators, and complemented by the surveys of interested parties, the study finds meaningful patterns and causal links. The results demonstrate that in poorer neighborhoods, there is a higher rate of arrest and detention, whereas more implicit bias and here severity of school disciplinary measures affect minority youth in disproportional numbers. These findings support the idea of multidimensional intervention, such as economic support of fewer privileged communities, the education of the law enforcement and school officials on implicit bias, as well as the application of restorative justice in schools. Strong empirical evidence given by this study contributes to the further research on the topic of racial inequality in the juvenile justice and indicates viable measures available to reinforce the ideas of equity and justice.]]>
