This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of local revenue realization, particularly Regional Original Revenue (PAD), in supporting regional development programs. PAD serves as a vital indicator of fiscal independence and a primary funding source for sustainable development efforts. However, many regions still face significant challenges in optimizing PAD potential. Gaps between revenue targets and actual realization, weak retribution management, low taxpayer compliance, and poor inter-agency data integration are major obstacles to effectiveness. This study utilizes a descriptive method rooted in qualitative analysis by examining existing literature and secondary data analysis from credible sources. The findings indicate that PAD effectiveness strongly influences a region's fiscal capacity to implement development functions, especially in public service and infrastructure sectors. Therefore, policy reform, strengthening of revenue collection systems, and improvement of human resource capacity are critical strategies to achieve fiscal autonomy and sustainable regional development. The integration of religious values into strategies for optimizing local revenue (PAD) can also enhance tax awareness through spiritual and social approaches, strengthen public trust in the government, and foster development that is not only materially oriented but also grounded in ethics and social justice.

The use of criminal law in crime prevention efforts tends to only function as a treatment step for symptoms that appear, not as a tool that is able to eliminate the root causes of crime itself. Criminal law focuses on imposing sanctions on perpetrators as a form of retribution and special prevention, but often does not touch on the underlying factors that drive a person to commit a crime, such as economic conditions, social environment, and education. One of the most frequent forms of crime in society is theft, which reflects the existence of structural problems that have not been fully resolved This research uses a descriptive method of analysis. Where the analysis is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the rule of law with a conceptual approach, which refers to the provisions of the law and other legal disciplines.

One of the mandatory programs for students of Borneo Tarakan University is the Real Work Lecture (KKN) by combining students from various departments into one group placed in a village to carry out community service. Group 19 was placed in Sebidai Village, Tana Tidung with the aim of "Optimizing Village Development towards Independent Villages". The problems were the lack of public understanding about proper agricultural land clearing, the low knowledge in managing agricultural products (taro) into superior products, and the lack of village understanding regarding fair and reasonable retribution. The activities included socialization on the dangers of illegal land clearing, entrepreneurship training on processing taro into marketable chips and cakes, as well as the proposal of village regulations regarding retribution. The results of the activities had a positive impact, with the community being more vigilant in land clearing, taro-based products being able to be marketed, and village regulations on retribution being completed as requested by the Village Head.

Restorative justice or restorative justice, is an approach that emphasizes restoring losses experienced by victims, reintegrating perpetrators into society, and repairing social relationships damaged by criminal acts. In contrast to the retributive approach which focuses on punishment as retribution for legal violations, this research aims to analyze the concept of mediation as an alternative for resolving criminal acts from a restorative justice perspective and the effectiveness of mediation in reducing the burden on the courts and increasing the efficiency of the criminal justice system. This research is a type of normative legal research that uses a conceptual approach. The data source used in this research is secondary data. The results of this research are that mediation as an alternative for resolving criminal acts from a restorative justice perspective has great potential to create more substantive and sustainable justice. Mediation is an effective tool for reducing the burden on courts and increasing the efficiency of the criminal justice system. By providing a faster, more cost-effective and flexible dispute resolution mechanism, mediation not only helps reduce the backlog of cases in court, but also creates more satisfactory solutions for victims and perpetrators.

The payment of rental flats (rusunawa) levies managed by the Semarang Regency DPU was previously carried out in cash. The payment of the levy, which is still conventional, has problems such as late payment, arrears, risk of losing money or can be misused. For this reason, payments need to be improved through digital-based cashless e-retribution. With e-levy, residents can directly pay through banks, ATMs, or various digital platforms such as e-wallets, Qris, and Laku Pandai outlets. This study aims to identify the factors that affect the implementation of e-levy rusunawa in Semarang Regency. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The findings of the study show that the success of digital public services in the form of e-levy payments that are ideated at the preparatory stage (June-August 2024) and operational (starting September 2024) is influenced by several supporting factors, namely: (1) Leadership support in the form of regulations and policies such as the Regent Regulation on Guidelines for the Implementation of Non-Cash Transactions in the APBD; DPRD recommendation to implement e-levy; Decree of the Head of DPU on the Establishment of an Effective Team for the Preparation of e-Levy Flats and SOPs for the Implementation of e-Levy Flats; and the Circular Letter of the Head of DPU on the Implementation of the e-Levy of Rusunawa; as well as the support of the Semarang Regency BKUD; (2) The capacity of government organizations in the form of software in the form of Bank Jateng billing centers and the capacity of human resources managers, especially the willingness of staff to learn and want to change from manual to digital levy management; and (3) The value understood by the rusunawa user community that there are benefits of digital payments, which are easier, faster and more accountable than cash transactions. This public service model with digital payments can be replicated for all types of regional tax and levy payments, especially in Semarang Regency.

This research aims to analyze the mechanism for collecting and depositing parking fees at UPT Kepanjen. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to provide an in-depth picture of the process of collecting and depositing parking fees. Data was obtained through interviews, observation and documentation involving various related parties, such as parking officers, UPT managers and parking service users. The research results show that the mechanism for collecting parking fees at UPT Kepanjen still faces several obstacles, such as a lack of transparency, a recording system that is not yet integrated, and minimal supervision. Apart from that, retribution payments also require improvements in terms of efficiency and accountability. This research recommends several improvements, including the application of information technology for recording and monitoring systems, increased training for parking officers, as well as stricter enforcement of rules to ensure parking fees are deposited on time and in accordance with established procedures. In this way, it is hoped that the mechanism for collecting and depositing parking fees at UPT Kepanjen can run more effectively and transparently, and provide an optimal contribution to regional income.

E-retribution in Blitar Regency replaces the manual method with electronic payment for market retribution. The use of the E-retribution system is still low, with only 10% of traders. This study aims to determine the policy implementation process, including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors based on Van Meter and Van Horn's theory. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method, with primary data from interviews and observations, and secondary data from relevant documents. The results of this study show that the e-retribution policy has been implemented well, as evidenced by four factors: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure being fulfilled. The supporting factors for the success of e-retribution are legal foundations and the insufficient revenue needs, while the inhibiting factors are inadequate infrastructure, lack of trader awareness, and outdated data on active traders in the market.
