Waste management problems in Kudus City show high complexity, marked by an increase in the volume of daily waste generation that is not balanced by an adequate handling system. This study aims to optimize the waste management system in an integrated manner with an industrial engineering approach, especially through the application of the Lean Waste Management concept, redesigning facilities and logistics, and strengthening community participation based on Human-Centered Design (HCD). A qualitative method with a case study approach was used, with data triangulation techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. The results of the study showed that 75% of households did not sort their waste, only 2 out of 6 TPSTs were active, and the TPA capacity had exceeded its limit since 2022. The efficiency of the transportation system is also low due to suboptimal routes and frequencies. This study offers solutions based on technology integration, facility redesign, logistics optimization, and community empowerment. With a systemic approach based on industrial engineering, an efficient and sustainable waste management model can be applied, not only in Kudus, but also in other areas with similar challenges.

This study analyzes how actors and structures play roles in addressing environmental issues caused by waste transportation truck activities in Dukuh Promasan, Salatiga. The findings reveal that the local community is actively involved in collective efforts, such as cleaning the roads and reporting issues related to waste management. Although the community generally tends to be passive towards government policies, this research found that residents of Dukuh Promasan actively participate in mitigating the negative impacts of waste transportation, including problems related to noise, odor, scattered waste, and leachate. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method to examine the interactions among various actors, such as the Environmental Agency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup), the Ngronggo landfill management, truck drivers, and the Dukuh Promasan community. It explores the social dynamics resulting from these interactions, particularly how community initiatives can influence waste management policies and practices. Moreover, the study identifies the challenges faced by the Environmental Agency in managing waste, such as limited funding and facilities, which negatively affect the efficiency of waste collection and processing. These findings highlight the necessity of policies that promote active community participation in waste management. This research is expected to provide insights into the relationship between community behavior and the waste management system, and to recommend a collaborative approach to enhance environmental sustainability in Dukuh Promasan.

Cervical cancer is a significant public health problem globally, including in Indonesia. This disease ranks fourth as the most common cancer in women in the world, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths in 2020. Analyzing the current condition of cervical cancer in Indonesia including prevalence, risk factors, impacts, prevention efforts, and treatment based on data to provide a comprehensive picture of the situation of cervical cancer in Indonesia. Cervical cancer is defined as a malignant tumor in the cervix that attacks the epithelial layer and has the potential to spread. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. In addition, several supporting risk factors include risky sexual behavior, long-term use of oral contraceptives, smoking habits, nutritional deficiencies (especially vitamins C, E, and folic acid), and poor personal hygiene. The Indonesian government has attempted to identify the disease early through the Visual Inspection of Acetic Acid (IVA) method used for early detection of cervical cancer in women aged 30 to 50 years. However, community participation in this program still needs to be improved sustainably. Treatment for cervical cancer can include surgery (eg cryosurgery, LEEP, hysterectomy), radiation, and chemotherapy. Cervical cancer remains a major health challenge in Indonesia. Improved education programs, participation in early detection of IVA, and strengthening of the health system as a whole are needed to effectively reduce morbidity and mortality caused by this disease.

This study analyzes the application of collaborative governance in overcoming the phenomenon of overcrowding of visitors and its impact on environmental security at Kaimana Hospital, West Papua. The background of the research is based on the imbalance in the capacity of hospital infrastructure (serving 65,490 people) with the high number of visits, exacerbated by the habit of the community transporting patients en masse and the massive use of JKN services. The descriptive qualitative method is used with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews, observations, and visual documentation. The analysis refers to the theory of Ansell and Gash (2008) which includes starting conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, collaborative process, and outcome. The results of the study show that efforts such as limiting visiting hours and the construction of halfway houses are not optimal due to less participatory policy design, lack of structured dialogue between stakeholders, and top-down leadership. Overcrowding is triggered by narrow waiting rooms, limited facilities, and the disintegration of the queue system. Despite collaborative initiatives, the results are still partial due to weak cross-sector coordination and low community participation. Strategic suggestions include infrastructure improvement, the development of an integrated digital queuing system, intensive socialization, and the formation of collaborative teams across sectors (RSUD, government, TNI/POLRI, and the community). Conflict management training, periodic evaluation, and participatory leadership approaches are also needed to create sustainable service transformation. This study emphasizes that inclusive and transparent collaboration is the key to overcoming overcrowding and strengthening the safety of the hospital environment.

Child marriage in Indonesia is still a serious problem despite regulations that limit the minimum age of marriage. The revision of Law No. 16/2019 sets the minimum age at 19 years, but the practice of marriage dispensation has actually increased. This phenomenon reflects the gap between formal legality and social reality which is influenced by factors such as low education, patriarchal culture, conservative religious interpretations, social pressure, and poverty. Dispensation for marriage is often granted without an in-depth assessment of the child's readiness, ignoring the principle of the best interests of the child. Law enforcement has not been effective due to the lack of legal literacy, weak supervision, and the dominance of local values. Prevention efforts require an interdisciplinary approach through reproductive health education, strengthening social protection, community participation, and synergy between institutions. Therefore, the elimination of child marriage must be a strategic policy based on the transformation of social norms and the protection of children's rights in a holistic and sustainable manner within the framework of gender perspective development and social justice.

A total of 30 farmers were actively involved in the entire series of activities. The activity results showed an increase in skills in making alternative feed, implementing biosecurity, and simple business records. Positive social impacts were also seen from the growth of community participation in group activities and joint marketing initiatives. This program shows that a participatory, potential-based, and collaborative approach can effectively strengthen the sustainability of community poultry farming businesses. This success is the basis for developing similar empowerment models in other areas with comparable characteristics.

The SEBLAK program (Birth Certificate, Birth Registration, and Family Card) initiated by RS dr. Mohammad Zyn represents an innovation in digital-based civil registration services, aimed at improving efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency in public services related to population administration. This innovation integrates the processes of data collection, verification, and the issuance of administrative documents automatically through a digital system directly connected to the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil). Consequently, procedures for obtaining documents such as birth certificates and family cards can be carried out more quickly, easily, and without bureaucratic obstacles, while also providing more accurate and reliable data. The overall success of this program is supported by several key factors, including adequate technological infrastructure, continuous training for officers and the community, and effective socialization through various media and community forums. A qualitative approach was used to evaluate the implementation process and its impact on the community and hospital staff. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman (1994) model. The results indicate that the implementation of this digital system can significantly reduce the time and costs associated with document processing, improve data accuracy, and strengthen public trust in government services. Beyond operational aspects, the SEBLAK program also positively impacts increasing access to administrative services for communities in remote and hard-to-reach areas. This aligns with the goal of expanding digital services inclusively and reinforcing the role of hospitals as the initial point and center for civil registration services while enhancing community participation in fulfilling their administrative rights. However, challenges remain, including technical infrastructure limitations, a lack of sufficient training for human resources, and the need to improve data security capacity. Therefore, continuous capacity building for human resources and infrastructure development are crucial to ensure the sustainability and success of this program, which can serve as a model for innovative public services that other institutions in Indonesia can adopt.    

Deforestation remains a critical challenge for sustainable development in Indonesia. This study evaluates the effectiveness of deforestation control policies in supporting the achievement of SDG Target 15.2 on sustainable forest management. Using a qualitative approach with the DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses) analytical framework, the research examines policy documents, government reports, and deforestation datasets from Global Forest Watch. The results indicate that while policies such as the forest moratorium and the FOLU Net Sink 2030 commitment have successfully reduced deforestation in priority areas, their implementation continues to face complex challenges.  Key findings reveal: (1) Economic incentive disparities between central and local governments drive forest exploitation for local revenue; (2) Weak multi-sectoral coordination between forestry policies and infrastructure development; (3) Limited community participation in decision-making processes; and (4) Real-time monitoring systems that are not yet integrated with rapid response mechanisms. The study recommends strengthening green incentives, enhancing collaborative governance, recognizing indigenous community rights, and optimizing monitoring technologies as strategies to accelerate SDG achievement. These findings make significant contributions to environmental policy literature by offering a holistic perspective on deforestation control challenges in developing countries.

The development of tourism villages has been carried out in several regions in Indonesia as an effort to improve the tourism sector through the management of village potential by the local community. This concept is in line with Community Based Tourism (CBT), as implemented in Desa Wisata Kalongan, which is managed directly by the local community and provides direct benefits. This study aims to identify the management of tourism villages, which consists of several management stages by implementing the CBT concept so that the community can directly benefit. This study uses qualitative methods with observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data validity is tested through source and technique triangulation. Data analysis was conducted through collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the management of Desa Wisata Kalongan involves four stages of management that require active community participation, including planning activities with the establishment of vision, mission, objectives, identification of potential, and program development; provision of facilities; and budgeting in accordance with existing policies; organization activities through the formation of organizational structures and participatory work systems; implementation activities supported by coordination, active community involvement, and community development through training; and supervision through monitoring and evaluation in collaboration with the village government. The implementation of CBT is reflected in community involvement in activities, ownership, and decision-making; cultural and environmental preservation; economic benefits for the community; and capacity building through training. The conclusion drawn from the research is that the management of Kalongan Tourism Village is carried out through the stages of planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision, which actively involve the community. The CBT concept is reflected in community participation in management activities, thereby reaping economic benefits, as well as playing a role in cultural and environmental preservation, and training activities that support village tourism development.

Weak law enforcement and minimal community participation in decision-making exacerbate these problems. This study contributes to the understanding of the importance of integration policies, legal awareness, and the need for active community participation in coastal resource management. The implications of the research results underline the urgent need to improve collaboration between stakeholders and strengthen law enforcement for environmental sustainability. Suggestions for further research include investigating similar violations in other coastal areas in Indonesia.

This study explores the issue of slum settlements in Ledhok Timoho Village, located along the banks of the Gajah Wong River in Yogyakarta. The area faces complex social, economic, legal, and environmental challenges, mainly due to the legal uncertainty of Sultan Ground land where many residents live. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was applied. The findings reveal that unclear land ownership hinders residents’ access to public services and decent housing. Local initiatives such as TAABAH have been instrumental in advocating for residents’ rights, yet structural limitations persist. The study recommends implementing long-term residential concession schemes, replicating the livable village model through community participation, revitalizing basic infrastructure, and integrating human rights-based and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approaches. An inclusive and collaborative strategy is essential for slum settlement upgrading that is sustainable, equitable, and respectful of human dignity.

Domestic Violence (Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga/KDRT) is a complex social phenomenon that requires continuous legal and social attention. In the context of Indonesia, the protection of domestic violence victims has been regulated under Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, which affirms that victims are entitled to protection, recovery, and legal assistance. However, the implementation of these protections faces several structural and cultural obstacles, such as social stigma against victims, limited human resources, and the influence of patriarchal culture that legitimizes violence within the household. Using normative legal research methods with statutory and conceptual approaches, this article analyzes the policy framework for the protection of domestic violence victims in Indonesia, as well as the roles of government and non-government institutions in providing such protection. The results of this study show that although the legal protection of domestic violence victims is clearly regulated, its implementation in practice remains suboptimal due to social and structural barriers. Therefore, strong legal policies must be supported by the synergy of law enforcement institutions, social organizations, and community participation to ensure effective and sustainable protection for victims. These findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of future policies that are more responsive to the protection of the rights of domestic violence victims.
