Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Regent Regulation Number 61 of 2019 concerning the Completion of One-Year Early Childhood Education Before Elementary School in Bintan Pesisir District, Bintan Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using Merilee S. Grindle’s policy implementation theory focusing on content of policy and context of implementation. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, documentation, and literature studies. Research informants consisted of the Bintan Regency Education Office, district government officials, PAUD managers, teachers, and community members. The results showed that the implementation of the policy had been carried out but had not run optimally. In terms of policy content, the policy has provided benefits in improving children’s readiness before entering elementary school, yet it still faces obstacles such as limited infrastructure, inadequate educators, and uneven distribution of PAUD institutions. Meanwhile, in the context of implementation, coordination among policy implementers has not been fully effective and public awareness regarding the importance of early childhood education remains low. Supporting factors include the existence of regional regulations, local government support, and the commitment of PAUD institutions. Inhibiting factors include limited resources, geographical conditions of coastal areas, and low community participation. This study recommends improving equal access to PAUD services, strengthening policy socialization, and enhancing the quality of educators and educational facilities in coastal areas of Bintan Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the public value of the SAKTI Program (Population Administration System Based on Information Technology) at the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Kediri City. The SAKTI Program is a digital-based population administration service innovation developed to provide convenience, speed, and efficiency in public services. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis employed the public value theory proposed by Faulkner and Kaufman (2017), consisting of four dimensions: outcome achievement, trust and legitimacy, service delivery quality, and efficiency. The findings indicate that the SAKTI service has generated economic value through saving costs, time, and effort for the community, while also encouraging changes in public behavior toward the use of digital services. The SAKTI Program has also demonstrated strong legitimacy through clear legal foundations. However, public trust in digital services has not been fully established due to limited socialization and low digital literacy among some community groups. The quality of service delivery shows simplified procedures and easier access to services, although technical problems such as system disruptions and service delays are still encountered. In terms of efficiency, the SAKTI service has improved internal service efficiency, although the benefits have not been equally experienced by all members of society. Therefore, optimizing the SAKTI service requires improvements in system stability, wider socialization, and enhancement of community digital literacy.

Abstract

The decision by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) to join the Indonesia Maju Coalition (KIM) Plus to endorse Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election is a strategic anomaly. As an ideologically oriented cadre party, in the three previous editions of the Jakarta gubernatorial election, PKS consistently fielded its own cadres or partnered with external figures aligned with the party’s ideological base. In fact, in early 2024, PKS had even declared the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman (AMAN) ticket. This article analyzes how PKS made the strategic decision to join KIM Plus. This study employs a qualitative case study approach. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with seven key informants within PKS and KIM Plus partners, supplemented by document analysis and media coverage. The strategic choice framework by Collier and Norden (1992) was applied across five dimensions: issue linkage, modification of subjective probability, changes in cost-benefit analysis, communication signal management, and threshold calculations. The research findings indicate that these five dimensions operate simultaneously. PKS’s policy shift is not merely a form of ideological abandonment, but rather an expression of bounded strategic rationality aimed at aligning ideological language with pragmatic calculations under the pressure of an extreme multiparty presidential system.

Abstract

The development of information technology has provided various benefits to society; however, it has also led to the emergence of digital deviations, one of which is the widespread dissemination of online gambling content. This phenomenon poses a serious challenge for governments, including local governments, in their efforts to create a safe and healthy digital environment for the public. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the Department of Communication and Informatics of Sukabumi City in supervising online gambling content and to identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Department of Communication and Informatics of Sukabumi City has carried out supervision through digital space monitoring, identification of gambling-related content, reporting to the central government, and digital literacy education for the community as a preventive measure. However, several challenges remain, including limited authority of local governments to directly block online gambling content, inadequate human resources, and the rapid evolution of content distribution patterns across digital platforms. The study concludes that the effectiveness of online gambling content supervision requires strengthened institutional capacity, enhanced human resource competencies, and cross-sectoral coordination to ensure optimal, adaptive, and sustainable oversight.

Abstract

This study analyzes China's New Energy Vehicle (NEV) export expansion (2020–2025) as a neomercantilism strategy within International Political Economy. It argues China's global EV dominance stems from systematic state intervention rather than free markets. This intervention relies on four pillars: (1) strategic industrial policies like Made in China 2025; (2) domestic subsidies exceeding USD 520 billion alongside Dual-Credit mechanisms; (3) vertical control of global supply chains, dominating lithium processing and cobalt mining; and (4) geoeconomic integration through the Belt and Road Initiative. Using a qualitative case study, findings reveal this strategy drove NEV production from 1.37 million units in 2020 to over 16 million in 2025. Consequently, China bypassed Japan as the top automotive exporter in 2023, while BYD captured a 22.2% global market share in 2024. Ultimately, China's NEV expansion functions as a strategic instrument to secure geopolitical interests and realize its ambition as a dominant global economic power

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political communication of a party wing organization through the Facebook account @DPPBantengMudaIndonesia in building a positive image of PDI Perjuangan after the 2024 General Election. Using a qualitative method with a netnographic approach, the research explores communication patterns, forms of political messages, and audience responses in the digital sphere. Data were obtained through digital observation of posts, comments, and user interactions on the account, supported by interviews and literature review. The analysis applies Harold D. Lasswell’s communication theory, emphasizing the framework of “who says what in which channel to whom with what effect.” The findings show that BMI acts as a digital political communicator consistently reinforcing PDI Perjuangan’s image through humanitarian content, organizational agendas, ideological symbols, and narratives of closeness with society. BMI’s communication activities are directly associated by the public with PDI Perjuangan as the main party. Audience responses reveal a dominance of positive sentiment, particularly increased engagement with social and humanitarian content.This study highlights the strategic role of party wing organizations in strengthening political legitimacy and constructing a positive party image through social media. In the digital era, BMI functions not only as a vehicle for cadre recruitment but also as a medium of representation, legitimacy, and image consolidation for PDI Perjuangan.

Abstract

This study aims to map the development, trends, collaboration patterns, and research gaps related to the integration of sustainable tourism, dark tourism, and post-disaster tourism within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research employs a quantitative approach based on bibliometric analysis of 1,083 publications retrieved from the Dimensions database using structured keyword queries. The data were analyzed using VOSviewer to generate network, density, temporal trend, and collaboration visualizations across authors, institutions, and countries. The findings indicate that publication trends are fluctuating, with noticeable increases during certain periods, reflecting the dynamic evolution of research interest in this field. The dominant research themes revolve around policy, governance, and management, with key terms such as policy, governance, and management appearing most frequently. Network analysis reveals that research collaboration remains concentrated in specific countries and leading institutions, while the participation of developing countries is relatively limited. Furthermore, the study identifies that the conceptual integration between sustainable tourism, dark tourism, and post-disaster tourism has not yet been comprehensively developed within the existing literature. The study concludes that there is a critical need to strengthen integrative approaches in both research and policy to support the achievement of the SDGs. This research contributes by providing a systematic mapping of the knowledge structure and identifying future research directions in sustainable tourism studies.

Abstract

The increasing moral and ethical degradation among younger generations, reflected in the rising cases of bullying and juvenile delinquency, highlights the need for a systematic and sustainable character education policy starting from the elementary education level. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the character education policy by the Department of Education and Culture of Sukabumi City and to identify the factors that support and hinder its implementation. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with officials from the Department of Education, school principals, and teachers, supported by observations and document analysis. The findings reveal that character education has been integrated into the curriculum through local wisdom values and various school habituation activities, particularly those with religious orientations. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including differences in teachers’ understanding of character value internalization, limited supporting facilities, and the suboptimal involvement of families in the character-building process. Therefore, strengthening teachers’ capacity and fostering closer collaboration among schools, families, and the community are essential to improve the effectiveness of the policy.

Abstract

Nutritional problems remain a major challenge in Southeast Asia, characterized by the high prevalence of stunting, micronutrient deficiencies, and the increasing incidence of overnutrition, all of which affect public health quality and productivity. Differences in outcomes between Indonesia and Thailand indicate variations in the effectiveness of nutrition policies that warrant further examination. This study aims to compare the policies and strategies of Indonesia’s National Nutrition Agency and Thailand’s Bureau of Nutrition in improving nutritional status and public health. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative approach through a systematic literature review, using secondary data from 111 selected scientific articles out of 1,206 relevant publications, analyzed through thematic analysis with the assistance of RStudio software. The findings reveal that Indonesia tends to adopt a top-down approach through large-scale national programs but still faces challenges in cross-sectoral coordination and disparities in regional implementation. In contrast, Thailand emphasizes a community-based approach that is integrated, participatory, and adaptive to socio-cultural contexts, making it more effective in reducing malnutrition rates. The study also highlights that policy effectiveness is influenced by institutional factors, cross-sector collaboration, and community participation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and visual communication strategies of the Instagram account @generasimelekpolitik in fostering the political consciousness of netizens, particularly the younger generation, during the early phase of the Prabowo Subianto–Gibran Rakabuming Raka administration. A qualitative approach with a netnographic research design was utilized to explore digital interactions naturally. Primary data collection was conducted through structured, in-depth interviews with the account managers, political communication experts, and active followers. Secondary data were gathered through digital activity data scraping to map the audience's total interaction. The research findings indicate that netizens' political consciousness is shaped through three main aspects: input consciousness, characterized by increased attention to legal issues, state apparatuses, and government oversight; output consciousness, visible in netizens' ability to comprehend and evaluate public policies; and the process of receiving information and expressing political opinions courageously within the digital space.
