Businesses build trademarks to promote products or services while maintaining their reputation and competitiveness. However, the practice of using well-known brands without the license owner's permission is still found. The case of counterfeiting the Arc'teryx brand by PT ATX Asia Sport Products demonstrates a violation of the exclusive rights of the brand owner. This study aims to analyze law enforcement against the circulation of counterfeit Arc'teryx products in Bali based on Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications and review the role of the TRIPs Agreement in protecting brands in Indonesia. The method used is normative with a literature review of laws, books, journals, and literature related to unauthorized trademark infringement. The results show that the use of the Arc'teryx brand without official permission confirms the weak supervision and law enforcement of foreign brands that have not been registered in Indonesia. Although the first-to-file system applies, Indonesia still provides legal protection for foreign brands through its membership in the Paris Convention and the TRIPs Agreement. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen the role of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (DJKI), the Commercial Court, and increase public legal awareness to prevent trademark infringement and create legal certainty for rights owners and consumers.

Public policy innovation is an important necessity for local governments in responding to the complexity of public issues. One relevant approach to encourage policy innovation is policy networks, which emphasize collaboration between government and non-government actors. This study aims to analyze the role of policy networks as a public policy innovation strategy in Bandung Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of actors involved in the public policy innovation process. The results show that public policy innovation in Bandung Regency is not yet fully supported by an inclusive and sustainable policy network. The dominance of the local government, weak coordination between actors, limited capacity of non-governmental actors, and regulatory and bureaucratic barriers are the main obstacles. This study emphasizes that strengthening collaborative, participatory, and institutionalized policy networks is an important prerequisite for promoting adaptive and sustainable public policy innovation at the local level.

This study discusses the judge’s considerations in rejecting a marriage annulment lawsuit due to coercion, as stated in the Religious Court Decision of Tanjung Karang Number: 1109/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Tnk. The lawsuit was filed by a wife who claimed she was forced into marriage due to threats from her parents, thus requesting an annulment based on Article 27 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. However, the panel of judges rejected the claim. This research aims to examine the legal reasoning behind the judge’s rejection of the annulment and the legal consequences resulting from the decision. The study employs a normative and empirical legal approach with a descriptive qualitative method, using primary legal materials such as legislation and court rulings, as well as secondary data from legal literature and interviews. The results show that the judges rejected the claim because the alleged coercion was not proven to constitute an unlawful threat as defined by law, and the marriage was conducted validly according to legal and religious provisions. The legal implication of this rejection is that the marriage remains valid and binding, and all legal rights and obligations between husband and wife continue to apply.

This study aims to analyze the application of criminal procedural law in resolving narcotics crime cases at the Binjai District Court, focusing on compliance with the due process of law principle and the protection of the defendant’s rights. The research employs an empirical juridical approach through direct observation (field research) of case Number 200/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Bnj involving the defendant Novri Syahputra, who was charged as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of Class I narcotics (methamphetamine) weighing 40.81 grams net. Data were collected through direct observation of the trial proceedings and examination of relevant legal documents, including the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics. The findings indicate that the implementation of procedural law at the Binjai District Court was consistent with the provisions of KUHAP, covering all stages from the reading of the indictment, witness examination, evidence presentation, to the final judgment. The panel of judges demonstrated professionalism and independence while considering both aggravating and mitigating factors. However, rehabilitative and humanistic approaches have not been fully incorporated into the court’s consideration, as the sentencing remains predominantly deterrent-oriented. The study concludes that, while the formal procedural aspects of criminal procedural law have been effectively implemented, there remains a substantive need to strengthen restorative and rehabilitative justice values in future narcotics case policies.

This study examines the legal protection regarding the cancellation of unused trademarks through a case study of the Supreme Court Decision No. 264 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/2015 between IKEA Systems BV and PT Ratania Khatulistiwa. Trademarks play a vital role in modern trade, functioning not only as product identities but also as guarantees of quality and reputation with significant economic value. Law No. 15 of 2001 stipulates that a trademark may be cancelled if it is not used for three consecutive years, aiming to prevent speculative practices and pseudo-monopolies. However, this provision raises issues when applied to well-known trademarks that require longer periods to penetrate domestic markets. Using a literature review approach, this research analyzes legal norms, doctrines, and court decisions, while comparing them with international practices. The findings reveal that Indonesian law prioritizes the use requirement principle over the global reputation of a trademark. The Supreme Court’s decision to cancel the IKEA trademark demonstrates Indonesia’s legal orientation towards domestic legal certainty, yet it also creates challenges in maintaining a conducive investment climate. Therefore, trademark regulations need to be reformed to become more adaptive to globalization dynamics while balancing the interests of trademark owners, local businesses, consumers, and the state.

This study aims to examine the communication strategies implemented by the Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) of Banten in educating and engaging the public in monitoring local television content. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews with KPID Banten commissioners and community members, observation of socialization activities, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that KPID Banten applies educational and participatory communication strategies through the socialization of the Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines and Program Standards (P3SPS), publications on social media, and public discussion forums. The community actively contributes by reporting broadcast violations and participating in media literacy activities. However, challenges such as low media literacy and limited understanding of broadcasting regulations remain obstacles. This study recommends enhancing collaboration among KPID, local governments, and community groups to strengthen participatory-based broadcast monitoring.

Drug abuse among adolescents in Jayapura City is a pressing issue with significant repercussions for health, society, and the future of younger generations. Due to Jayapura's strategic position as a border city with Papua New Guinea, it faces a heightened risk of cross-border drug trafficking, making it particularly vulnerable. This study explores the various factors contributing to the rise in drug abuse among adolescents, including individual, family, and peer group dynamics, socio-economic conditions, weak legal enforcement, and the influence of globalization. The findings suggest that a multifaceted approach is essential in addressing the problem. Repressive measures alone are insufficient, and should be complemented by preventive, rehabilitative, and educational strategies. Such approaches must emphasize child protection principles and ensure justice that is both substantive and forward-thinking. Progressive and responsive legal frameworks, aligned with the goals of criminal punishment, are necessary to effectively combat drug abuse in Jayapura. Moreover, these frameworks should prioritize adolescent recovery, recognizing that these individuals are the future of the nation.

This study aims to analyze the role of communication in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems in creating customer satisfaction at PT Bangkit Jaya Teknik Indonesia, a business-to-business (B2B) cold storage installation service company. The research background lies in the increasing number of customer complaints during 2022–2024, mainly due to delayed responses, suboptimal after-sales service, and the absence of a centralized communication record system. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with internal parties (marketing project, project manager, project PIC) and customers, as well as company archival documentation. The findings reveal that responsive, open, and two-way communication plays a significant role in enhancing customers’ sense of being valued, trust, and loyalty, which ultimately fosters satisfaction. However, communication barriers such as delays in after-sales service, gaps between customer expectations and company procedures, and the lack of a communication database remain major challenges. To overcome these, the company has initiated strategies including the development of a customer communication database, improved after-sales monitoring, and the adjustment of communication standard operating procedures to align with customer needs. These results reinforce the relevance of Relationship Management theory and the IDIC model, both of which emphasize communication as the core of CRM. Theoretically, this study contributes to organizational communication studies, while practically, it provides recommendations for B2B service companies to prioritize communication in CRM strategies to strengthen customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) play a crucial role in creating consistency, efficiency, and accountability in governance. However, the process of developing SOPs within the bureaucracy often faces complex organizational communication challenges. This study aims to analyze the organizational communication process in developing SOPs at the Serang City Regional Inspectorate, focusing on the role of the Secretariat as the administrative coordination center. The method used was a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with key informants, observation, and documentation analysis. The results indicate that organizational communication plays a crucial role in every stage of SOP development, from data collection and drafting, to cross-sector coordination, and document finalization. The Secretariat acts as a liaison between units, archives manager, and coordination meeting facilitator. However, obstacles identified include a top-down vertical communication pattern, differing perceptions between units, delays in information flow due to bureaucracy, and limited technology-based communication tools. Improvements were made through the establishment of cross-unit forums, communication training, and the use of online applications to strengthen two-way communication. The implications of this research indicate that increasing the effectiveness of organizational communication is a key factor in accelerating the process of preparing SOPs and supporting the creation of more responsive, efficient, and accountable governance.

The background for the establishment of Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection raises a critical question that the Indonesian government must address, who will oversee and safeguard the security of citizens' data in public administration systems. The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of One Data Indonesia through Presidential Regulation Number 39 of 2019 (Perpres No. 39 of 2019) regarding One Data Indonesia, which remains a strong foundation for regulating government data governance. Unfortunately, this regulation does not yet include security aspects, which should be one of the principles of One Data Indonesia. This study explores Perpres No. 39 of 2019 as a critique of the regulation. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating security aspects to protect the sovereignty of government data used in public administration, especially in electronic processes conducted domestically. The principle of data security is a crucial component of the implementation of One Data Indonesia, which will be integrated with various other policy products, such as the Presidential Regulation on Electronic-Based Government Systems, the Presidential Regulation on Accelerating Digital Transformation and Integration of National Digital Services, the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions, the Law on Personal Data Protection, and other relevant regulations.

This study aims to analyze the satisfaction level of Generation Z visitors at the Serang City Regional Library using Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT). This theory explains that satisfaction is formed when the actual service meets or exceeds user expectations. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey technique, involving 89 respondents aged 17–28 years, selected purposively. The data were collected using a questionnaire with a 1–4 Likert scale and analyzed univariately. The results show that the majority of Generation Z visitors are satisfied with the library services, with 85.4% expressing satisfaction, while 14.6% expressed dissatisfaction. The factors contributing the most to satisfaction were staff friendliness (58.4% reported being very satisfied), room comfort (59.6% reported being very satisfied), and the availability of basic facilities such as tables, chairs, and adequate lighting. However, dissatisfaction mainly stemmed from digital facilities. About 45% of respondents stated that the Wi-Fi connection was unstable, disrupting online information access. Additionally, 60% of respondents felt that the collection of the latest books was still limited, failing to meet the academic and current trends of Generation Z. These findings highlight the importance of improving digital services, enhancing internet network quality, and expanding the collection of up-to-date and popular books. Furthermore, staff competence in digital literacy needs to be enhanced to support the increasing digital needs of users. With these measures, the library is expected to not only maintain visitor satisfaction but also improve its relevance and loyalty in the digital era.

Patriarchy in the modern era still persists despite continuous efforts to achieve gender equality across various aspects of life, including education, the workplace, and social interactions. Its presence is often reinforced through mass media, particularly in television series. The drama series “Bid’ah” vividly portrays the impact of patriarchy on women’s lives, both in domestic settings and in the public sphere. This study aims to examine the extent to which exposure to the series “Bid’ah” influences viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This research employed a quantitative approach involving 100 undergraduate students from the Communication Science program at Universitas Bina Bangsa. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where participants were selected based on specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale to measure the respondents’ perceptions. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The findings indicate a significant influence between exposure to the series and viewers’ perceptions of patriarchy. This is evidenced by a correlation coefficient of 0.405 (p-value 0.000) and a coefficient of determination of 0.164. These results suggest that 16.4% of the variance in perceptions of patriarchy can be explained by exposure to the “Bid’ah” series, while 83.6% is influenced by other factors beyond this study. These findings highlight the important role of media in shaping social perceptions, particularly regarding gender norms and patriarchal values. This study contributes to the understanding of how media, especially television dramas, can both reinforce and challenge gender stereotypes, while also providing insights into the potential influence of media content on audiences’ attitudes toward gender equality.

This study analyzes the public relations efforts of Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Banten in maintaining its existence in the digital era and identifies the inhibiting factors faced. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews with informants from various divisions at RRI Banten, as well as observations of the communication strategies and programs implemented. The results of the study indicate that RRI Banten has undertaken a significant digital transformation, including through the development of the RRI Digital application as a means to expand broadcast access, active use of social media to reach a wider audience, and the implementation of a broadcast program segmentation strategy to adapt to the needs and preferences of listeners from various groups. However, the study also identified several crucial inhibiting factors. Limited human resources, particularly in mastery of digital technology, remain a major obstacle in optimizing the transformation program. In addition, the uneven geographic coverage of broadcasts in some areas limits public access to RRI services. Increasingly fierce competition with other digital media that offer greater flexibility, speed, and interactivity also poses a major challenge. On the other hand, the lack of optimal digital promotion and difficulties in reaching the interests of the younger generation hamper the increase in RRI's popularity in the era of media digitalization.

This study examines the dynamics of urban politics in the policy of the Palembang City Government regarding the management of disorganized electrical cables. The problem of irregularly hanging cables, mixed with telecommunication lines, and often dangling too low poses safety risks, reduces the city’s aesthetics, and reflects weak governance of urban infrastructure. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, and documentation. The research informants consisted of representatives from the Palembang City Government, PLN (the state electricity company), telecommunication providers, and affected communities. The findings indicate that cable management policy is a concrete effort by the government to create an orderly, safe, and modern urban spatial arrangement. The Palembang City Government seeks to reorganize the overhead cable networks while simultaneously planning the development of underground utility ducts as a long-term solution. However, the implementation of this policy faces several challenges, particularly conflicting interests among stakeholders: PLN emphasizes operational efficiency, telecommunication providers resist additional financial burdens, while the public demands quick action but shows limited participation. This study concludes that the issue of cable management is not merely technical but also represents an arena of urban political contestation among the state, the private sector, and society. Effective solutions require cross-sectoral coordination, strong regulatory frameworks, collaborative financing, and active community involvement. Through a comprehensive approach, cable management in Palembang City has the potential to enhance public safety, improve urban aesthetics, and strengthen government legitimacy in sustainable urban governance.

This research discusses the Juridical Analysis of the Application of Government Regulation Number 16 of 2021 concerning Building in DKI Jakarta Province. The focus of the research is directed at the effectiveness of local policies in adjusting national regulations to the diverse urban dynamics of Jakarta, especially related to the Building Approval mechanism (PBG), supervision system, and enforcement of administrative sanctions. Using a normative juridical approach and analyzing local regulations such as Government Regulation No. 16 of 2021 on the Implementation Regulation of Law No. 28 of 2002 on Building, this research identifies implementative obstacles, such as weak supervision, limited human resources, and low public legal awareness. The findings show that adaptation efforts have not been fully optimized, so policy adjustments, institutional strengthening, and cross-sector collaboration are needed. This research confirms the importance of digitalization, public participation, and consistency of law enforcement in creating orderly and sustainable building development in Jakarta.

In the Indonesian economic system, cooperatives play a crucial role as one of the pillars of the national economy, as mandated in Article 33 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This article emphasizes that "the economy is structured as a joint venture based on the principle of kinship," which serves as the constitutional basis for the existence and development of cooperatives in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is normative juridical, focusing on legal frameworks and regulations related to cooperatives. The results of the study indicate that the government holds an important and strategic role in regulating and supervising cooperatives to ensure the protection of the rights and obligations of cooperative members. Through regulatory instruments such as Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives, the government establishes cooperative principles, good governance standards, and oversight and development mechanisms. The government’s efforts are aimed at ensuring the operation of cooperatives is transparent, accountable, and beneficial to all members. Furthermore, the study found that despite these regulatory efforts, significant challenges remain in the cooperative sector. These include issues such as weak financial reporting, low literacy rates among cooperative members, and the dominance of local elites, which can hinder the equitable distribution of benefits. These challenges need to be addressed to ensure that cooperatives can fulfill their role as economic agents that contribute to national development in line with the principles of kinship and mutual benefit.

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in the patterns of social interaction in society. Social media, especially TikTok, now functions not only as a means of entertainment but also as an effective medium for disseminating social, cultural, and humanitarian values. One interesting phenomenon in this context is the emergence of altruistic content, namely messages that represent caring, kindness, and selfless assistance. Content with altruistic nuances has its own appeal because it can create emotional closeness with the audience and has the potential to be used by business actors as a communication strategy to build a positive brand image. This study aims to identify and describe the forms of altruistic messages displayed in the TikTok account @mr.kingthread owned by Batik Benang Raja. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method based on the altruism theory of Eisenberg and Mussen, as well as the six stages of content analysis according to Klaus Krippendorff. Data were collected from 24 videos uploaded between January 1–31, 2025, through observation and documentation techniques. Then, they were analyzed and categorized into six indicators of altruism: sharing, cooperation, helping, donating, honesty, and generosity. The results of the study show that @mr.kingthread's content consistently displays altruism through sincere, emotional, and easily accepted actions by the audience. The aspect of donating emerged as the most dominant element, followed by aspects of cooperation, helping, and sharing. The natural, authentic, and uncontrived message delivery strengthens emotional closeness with the audience and increases public trust in Batik Benang Raja's image as a brand that cares about humanitarian values. In conclusion, the altruism-based communication strategy through TikTok has proven effective in spreading humanitarian values, strengthening the company's positive image, and fostering a spirit of sharing among the audience.  

This study aims to explore how interpersonal communication plays a role in the process of constructing self-identity within the “Jemuah Keos” community in Surabaya. This community functions as an alternative social space inhabited by individuals with diverse creative backgrounds, such as musicians, motorcycle builders, visual artists, and subculture enthusiasts. The formation of identity in this community is not solely driven by individual expression but also shaped through social interactions that are reflective and rich in meaningful symbols. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with nine informants, and documentation of various visual artifacts representing the community’s activities. The data analysis process follows the interactive model by Miles and Huberman, which consists of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The theoretical framework used in this study refers to Joseph A. DeVito's concept of interpersonal communication, which includes self-disclosure, empathy, emotional support, symbolic exchange, social values, as well as reflective interaction and role negotiation in social relationships. The findings indicate that interpersonal communication is a key element in shaping and negotiating personal identity. Cultural symbols such as clothing style, vehicle modifications, visual language, and daily interaction patterns become primary means of identity expression. The "Jemuah Keos" community demonstrates openness, equality, and a critical stance against the dominance of mainstream culture. Interpersonal communication within this community also plays a role in building collective solidarity and voicing critical views on existing cultural standards. The identity formed is not only personal but also part of a larger community identity.

Tourism plays a crucial role in regional development, not only in terms of the economy but also in enhancing the social and cultural quality of the community. Mojokerto Regency, particularly Pacet District, has significant natural tourism potential, one of which is Camping Outdoor Dolanan (COD) Tegal Klopo. This study aims to examine the role of the Village Government in community development through the utilization of this tourism potential. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants in this study include the village head, BUMDes managers, tourism site managers, and local residents. The results of the study show that the Village Government plays a strategic role in designing and implementing tourism development programs in the village. The Village Government not only plays a role in building synergy between BUMDes and the community but also actively plans promotional strategies that can attract tourists to visit COD Tegal Klopo. Additionally, the Village Government also plays a role in raising community awareness about the importance of maintaining the sustainability of the environment and local culture so that this tourism can provide long-term benefits for the village. However, this tourism development faces several challenges, such as limited facilities and a lack of trained human resources to professionally manage the tourism destination. Despite these challenges, the development of COD Tegal Klopo tourism has shown positive impacts on the local economy, with an increase in income from the tourism sector. Moreover, this tourism also helps preserve local culture and encourages active community participation in the village development process. With continued support from the Village Government, it is expected that this tourism development will continue to grow, provide greater economic benefits, and preserve local culture and the environment for a better future.

The practice of surrogacy in Indonesia is growing despite the absence of clear legal regulations, creating uncertainty in the protection of surrogates, children, and those who use surrogacy services. Although several countries have regulations governing this practice, Indonesia still faces a legal vacuum that leaves many parties vulnerable to exploitation. This study aims to analyze aspects of legal protection, reproductive rights, children's interests, and women's dignity in the context of surrogacy in Indonesia, with the aim of formulating a more adaptive and equitable regulatory framework. The method used in this study is a normative juridical approach, with analysis using AMOS-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) of relevant legal documents and existing scientific literature. This research involves an analysis of existing regulations, cases related to surrogacy, and the opinions of legal experts and the public. The results show significant differences in legal protection between surrogates and children involved in surrogacy practices. Furthermore, there is uncertainty regarding the status of children born through surrogacy practices, which impacts their rights, particularly in terms of legal recognition and access to their human rights. This study also emphasizes that protecting women's reproductive rights and maintaining their dignity must be an integral part of surrogacy regulations. Clear and comprehensive regulations have been shown to improve protection for surrogates, children, and other related parties, as well as prevent potential exploitation. The implications of this study are the importance of establishing legislation specifically governing surrogacy practices in Indonesia, where such policies must focus on justice, child rights protection, and gender equality.
