The development of Pantai Indah Kapuk 2 (PIK 2) presents serious issues, including eviction, the loss of traditional livelihoods, and the marginalization of local communities within a modernization agenda that disregards social justice and sustainability. This research questions the extent to which the dominant modernization bias influences the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding community, as well as how public participation practices are implemented in the planning and execution of the project. The PIK 2 project has led to social inequality, the deprivation of rights, and environmental degradation, illustrating a pattern of systemic exploitation of coastal communities through the economic and political power of development elites. The dominant development theory framework proposed by Melkote and Steeves is used to examine modernization bias, supplemented by Islamic concepts such as mustadh’afin and ghasab to strengthen the social justice perspective. In this study, the author employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving affected residents, community leaders, and policymakers. The results of the analysis indicate very low levels of public participation, instances of intimidation during land acquisition, and a significant loss of access to employment and basic facilities for the community. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the need for policy reform to ensure that development is more transparent, participatory, and equitable, in order to protect the rights of local communities from dominant and exploitative development patterns.

Population mobility is a dynamic phenomenon that plays an important role in regional development processes. Population movement is influenced by various interconnected factors, particularly social, economic, and environmental aspects. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing population mobility using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from relevant national and international scientific literature published within the last ten years. The results indicate that economic factors are the primary determinants driving population mobility, particularly in relation to employment opportunities and income improvement. Meanwhile, social factors such as education and social networks act as supporting elements in the mobility process. Environmental factors also show significant influence, especially in the context of climate change, natural disasters, and environmental degradation. The interaction among these factors demonstrates that population mobility is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires a comprehensive analytical approach. This study is expected to contribute to the development of population studies and serve as a reference for sustainable development policy formulation.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the geopolitical conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran in 2026 on global macroeconomic stability and climate change dynamics. Using a qualitative approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this research synthesizes findings from various international journal articles, reports, and academic sources. The results indicate that the conflict has significantly disrupted global energy markets, leading to a sharp increase in oil and gas prices. This energy shock has triggered global inflationary pressures, reduced purchasing power, and increased economic uncertainty across both developed and developing countries. Furthermore, monetary tightening policies implemented to control inflation have created trade-offs with economic growth, increasing the risk of global recession. On the fiscal side, government interventions such as energy subsidies have helped mitigate short-term impacts but have raised concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability. In addition, the energy crisis has slowed the transition toward renewable energy, thereby exacerbating climate change risks. The study highlights the interconnectedness between geopolitical conflict, macroeconomic instability, and environmental sustainability. Therefore, coordinated global policies and integrated economic strategies are essential to address these multidimensional challenges effectively.

The revocation of business licenses by the President of the Republic of Indonesia against 28 companies proven to have violated forest utilization regulations signifies a shift in environmental law enforcement from a predominantly punitive criminal approach to preventive administrative measures. This article aims to analyze the legal basis of the President’s authority to revoke business licenses related to natural resource utilization, to position license revocation as an instrument of environmental law enforcement within Indonesia’s legal system, and to assess its implications for environmental protection and legal certainty for business actors. This study employs a normative juridical research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that Presidential license revocation possesses juridical legitimacy within the framework of the rule of law and environmental and forestry legislation. Nevertheless, the implementation of such a policy requires clear administrative procedural standards to ensure legal certainty and to prevent potential abuse of power. This article concludes that license revocation can function as an effective environmental law enforcement instrument provided that it is accompanied by adequate oversight mechanisms and due process of law.

Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia has encouraged the strengthening of civil service management oriented toward performance through the policy of appointing Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) in order to improve the effectiveness of public organizations. This study aims to analyze the performance of PPPK in supporting the implementation of tasks at the Environmental Agency of Jambi City by using Mangkunegara’s performance theory as the analytical framework. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results show that the performance of PPPK is generally in the good category and contributes positively to organizational effectiveness. This is reflected in the aspects of work quality, work quantity, and responsibility as explained in Mangkunegara’s performance theory. The alignment between job placement and competence, increased work motivation due to employment status certainty, and organizational support through training and coaching are the main factors supporting performance optimization. However, there are still constraints, particularly the suboptimal understanding of main duties and functions, thus requiring strengthened organizational communication and continuous capacity development. This study confirms that competency-based management and systematic development of PPPK play an important role in improving the effectiveness of task implementation in the public sector.

This study aims to analyze the role of digital transformation in strengthening competitive advantage and resilience of highland tourism villages in Central Java. Highland tourism villages face increasing competition, environmental vulnerability, and market uncertainty, requiring adaptive and innovation-driven strategies. Digital transformation is considered a strategic instrument to enhance destination competitiveness, expand market access, and improve institutional resilience. This research employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships among digital transformation, competitive advantage, and tourism village resilience. The study was conducted in selected highland tourism villages in Central Java, including [insert village names if needed]. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to tourism village managers, local stakeholders, and community representatives. The findings indicate that digital transformation has a significant positive effect on competitive advantage and resilience. Furthermore, competitive advantage partially mediates the relationship between digital transformation and tourism village resilience. These results suggest that digital adoption, digital marketing integration, and digital governance practices are critical in strengthening sustainable tourism development in highland areas. The study contributes to the literature on digital tourism transformation and provides managerial implications for policymakers and tourism village managers in developing adaptive and resilient tourism ecosystems.

This study examines the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration program in Maron Village, Kediri Regency, using four criteria for resolving land-related conflicts. PTSL is an initiative launched by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) as a manifestation of the government’s commitment to providing legal certainty and protection to the community regarding their land. The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of the PTSL program in Maron Village, Kediri Regency, based on four dimensions of land accuracy. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to delve deeper into the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration in Maron Village. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration program in Maron Village faces several challenges. This program was analyzed based on the four dimensions of accuracy proposed by Richard Matland, namely policy accuracy, implementation accuracy, target accuracy, and environmental accuracy. Regarding the target accuracy indicator, the program did not meet its objectives because of the community’s limited knowledge regarding legal data and other constraints, which resulted in some community members not participating in the program.  

Indonesia’s mineral downstreaming policy has become a strategic instrument to increase the added value of natural resources and strengthen the country’s position in the global mineral value chain. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the mineral downstreaming policy in encouraging regional economic transformation through the development of an integrated nickel processing industry in Obi Island, South Halmahera. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using secondary data obtained from government publications, corporate reports, policy documents, and environmental reports. Key data sources include regional economic statistics from the Central Bureau of Statistics, corporate publications from Harita Nickel, and regulatory frameworks such as Law No. 3 of 2020 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining. The findings show that the downstreaming policy has transformed Indonesia’s nickel industry by shifting export patterns from raw ore toward higher value-added products such as ferronickel and Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP), which are essential materials for electric vehicle battery production. The integration of Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) and High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) technologies in Obi Island has strengthened Indonesia’s role in the global battery supply chain while also stimulating regional economic growth in South Halmahera. However, the rapid expansion of the nickel industry also raises environmental governance challenges that require stronger regulatory oversight and sustainable mining practices. Therefore, future policy implementation should emphasize balanced economic development, environmental sustainability, and effective governance in mineral resource management.

Floods are one of the most frequent hydrometeorological disasters in Indonesia and cause various social, economic, and environmental impacts on communities. In disaster situations, women often face greater vulnerability than men due to limited access to resources, high domestic responsibilities, and minimal protection in disaster policies. Although the government has adopted a gender mainstreaming policy in development, its implementation in disaster management policies remains suboptimal. This study aims to analyze how flood management policies integrate gender perspectives and identify the impacts of floods on women. The study used a qualitative approach using literature study methods and media content analysis to understand the dynamics of policies and women's experiences in disaster situations. The results show that disaster management policies still tend to focus on technical and infrastructure aspects, while women's specific needs are often overlooked, particularly regarding security in refugee camps, access to reproductive health services, and increased domestic burdens during crises. This condition indicates that the integration of a gender perspective in disaster policies still faces various structural and institutional barriers. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen the implementation of gender-responsive policies so that disaster management does not only focus on physical mitigation, but is also able to provide fairer and more inclusive protection for all community groups.

Slums are an urban issue that arises due to rapid population growth and the limited capacity of local governments to provide adequate housing and basic infrastructure. This leads to areas with low environmental quality, limited access, poor drainage, and high socio-economic vulnerability. A similar phenomenon occurs in Jambi City, which requires a sustainable handling strategy. This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by the Department of Public Housing and Settlement Areas of Jambi City in addressing slums and assess their contribution to environmental quality. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to understand the policies, program implementation mechanisms, and institutional challenges. Data was collected through interviews with government officials, field observations, and analysis of planning documents. The results indicate that the strategy focuses on improving basic infrastructure, such as road construction, drainage rehabilitation, and the provision of settlement facilities. This program enhances environmental quality and accessibility but faces challenges such as budget limitations, suboptimal inter-agency coordination, and the socio-economic conditions of the community. Addressing slums requires a more comprehensive approach, including collaborative governance, increased community participation, and adaptive policies to ensure sustainable improvements.

The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land continues to increase along with the pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and settlement expansion. This condition poses risks to food security, environmental sustainability, and farmer welfare. This article reviews literature based on 25 abstracts/research results on LP2B in Indonesia to map policy implementation patterns, the relationship between LP2B and regional spatial planning, inhibiting factors, and the direction of policy strengthening. The method used is a narrative review with thematic synthesis of normative legal studies, juridical-empirical, qualitative, mixed methods, and spatial-quantitative approaches. The results of the review indicate: (1) LP2B is highly dependent on the harmonization of spatial planning policies, especially RTRW/RDTR and licensing mechanisms based on KKPR-OSS; (2) many regions are still stuck at the land inventory-identification stage, not yet reaching the determination and operational protection through LP2B Regional Regulations; (3) dominant obstacles include regulatory asynchronous, weak law enforcement, minimal cross-agency coordination, limited data by name by address, suboptimal socialization, and conflicts of interest in non-agricultural development; (4) incentive-disincentive instruments have not been implemented consistently, although socially farmers tend to accept LP2B protection; and (5) quantitative evidence at the national level shows that LP2B policies have a positive effect on the percentage of rice fields, despite being suppressed by population density and real estate sector growth. This article emphasizes the need for an integrated spatial governance approach, strengthening regional institutions, and designing policies that are socially and environmentally just to ensure that LP2B is effective in maintaining regional food security.

Air pollution constitutes a significant environmental problem with far-reaching impacts on public health, quality of life, and ecosystem sustainability, particularly in urban areas and industrial zones in Indonesia. Although the national environmental legal framework has adopted the principle of strict liability through Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, its implementation in air pollution cases continues to face substantial challenges, especially with regard to the proof and assessment of non-material damages. Non-material damages such as disturbances to living comfort, deterioration of environmental quality, psychological stress, and health-related anxiety are intangible in nature and lack clear measurement standards, resulting in their frequent exclusion or inadequate consideration in environmental civil litigation. This study aims to analyze the legal basis for the application of the strict liability principle to air pollution cases in Indonesia, identify relevant forms of non-material damage, and examine the implications of the absence of standardized methods for assessing such damages on legal certainty and the effectiveness of corporate liability enforcement. The research employs a normative legal research method with a library-based approach, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method, drawing upon legislation, court decisions, and scholarly literature on environmental law and environmental damage valuation. The findings indicate that the absence of standardized criteria for assessing non-material damages leads to evidentiary difficulties, inconsistent court decisions, and a weakened deterrent effect on polluting corporations, thereby preventing the full realization of victims’ rights to effective remedies. This study underscores the urgency of developing an integrated national technical guideline for the assessment of non-material environmental damages based on scientifically grounded valuation methods, as well as the need for cross-institutional policy harmonization to strengthen legal certainty, access to justice for affected communities, and corporate accountability in controlling air pollution.

Particularly in emerging nations, corporate environmental criminality poses a serious threat to environmental justice, sustainable development, and legal responsibility. With a focus on corporate crime theory and green criminology, this study critically analyzes corporate environmental crime using an integrative framework that blends modern criminological viewpoints with Islamic criminal law (fiqh al-jināyah). This study examines how Islamic legal concepts, particularly the doctrine of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, can enhance current models of corporate criminal responsibility and environmental governance using a normative-analytical and conceptual approach. The results show that structural incentives, lax enforcement, and profit-driven rationalization tactics make traditional regulatory and penal measures ineffective at discouraging corporate environmental malfeasance. Islamic criminal law provides a revolutionary framework that places environmental conservation as both a legal requirement and a moral necessity because of its strong ethical orientation and comprehensive view of justice. With a focus on ecological balance (ḥifẓ al-bi’ah), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and life preservation (ḥifẓ al-nafs), this study offers a value-based corporate accountability approach that goes beyond deterrence-oriented punishment and prioritizes prevention, restoration, and social responsibility. By broadening the doctrinal scope of Islamic criminal law to acknowledge corporate criminal culpability, this integrative approach makes a theoretical contribution. Practically, it informs regulatory enforcement and environmental policy change. The study presents an interdisciplinary paradigm that unites criminological analysis and religious legal reasoning, providing a strong basis for creating environmental governance systems that are just, moral, and sustainable, especially in developing nations and jurisdictions with a majority of Muslims.

Entrepreneurial leadership has become a crucial competency in higher education institutions seeking to adapt to rapid environmental changes and increasing global competition. This study explores how innovation behavior and dynamic capabilities among lecturers contribute to fostering entrepreneurial leadership within universities. Specifically, it investigates the mediating role of dynamic capabilities in the relationship between innovation behaviour and entrepreneurial leadership. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 85 lecturers at Universitas Duta Bangsa Surakarta. Path analysis and the Sobel test were used to examine both direct and indirect effects. The results reveal that innovation behaviour significantly influences both dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurial leadership. Moreover, dynamic capabilities partially mediate the relationship between innovation behaviour  and entrepreneurial leadership, highlighting their strategic role in enhancing institutional adaptability and innovation. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating innovation behaviour and developing dynamic capabilities among academic staff to promote entrepreneurial leadership. This research provides theoretical, managerial, and policy implications for university governance, emphasizing the need for supportive environments that encourage innovation and continuous development of academic competencies

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program as a means of environmental conservation at SMA Negeri 3 Sukabumi City. The Adiwiyata Program is a government effort to increase environmental awareness in schools, with a focus on developing schools that care about and have an environmental culture. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, involving observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The research informants consisted of the Head of the Adiwiyata Program Division of the Sukabumi City Environmental Agency, the Principal of SMA Negeri 3, and students involved in Adiwiyata activities. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program at SMA Negeri 3 Sukabumi City has been running quite well. In terms of communication, the program is well socialized to all school residents by the Environmental Agency and the school. In terms of resources, the program is supported by competent human resources and adequate infrastructure. The school's commitment and active student participation are also reflected in the disposition dimension. Meanwhile, in the bureaucratic structure dimension, program implementation is supported by a clear division of tasks through the formation of an Adiwiyata team at the school. This program has succeeded in increasing the school community's awareness and concern for environmental conservation.

Increasingly complex environmental problems, including pollution, ecosystem degradation, and climate change, demand greater awareness and active participation from all sectors of society, particularly students as agents of change. A clean and green campus environment is essential for supporting comfort, health, and the sustainability of academic activities. As centers of education and innovation, universities hold a strategic responsibility to cultivate environmental awareness through the implementation of the green campus concept. This study aims to examine the level of student awareness regarding campus cleanliness and greening based on findings from previous research. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing various relevant sources such as scientific journal articles, academic books, and policy documents related to sustainable campus management. The analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach to identify recurring patterns, prevailing trends, and key factors influencing students’ environmental awareness and behavior. The results indicate that student awareness levels generally fall within the fair to good category. Students with higher environmental awareness tend to participate more actively in maintaining cleanliness and supporting campus greening initiatives. However, the development of environmentally responsible behavior is strongly influenced by adequate facilities, supportive institutional policies, and a sustainability-oriented campus culture. Therefore, strengthening the role of higher education institutions through comprehensive environmental policies and structured sustainability programs is crucial to fostering clean, green, and sustainable campuses.

Decision-making under uncertainty is a major challenge in management, economics, and public policy, where outcomes cannot be accurately predicted due to limited information and environmental dynamics. This article conducts a systematic literature review of risk and probability approaches to decision-making under uncertainty, focusing on rational theory synthesis (such as expected utility theory, decision tree analysis, and Bayesian decision theory) and behavioral perspectives (prospect theory and heuristics). The review covers reputable literature from the last ten years to the present. The results show that the probabilistic approach provides a strong and adaptive rational framework, but has significant limitations due to cognitive biases such as loss aversion, overconfidence, and ambiguity aversion, which cause deviations from normative rationality. The integration of rational approaches with behavioral elements, through hybrid models, has proven to be more comprehensive and realistic for dealing with true uncertainty (Knightian uncertainty). These findings emphasize the need for a multidimensional decision-making paradigm in organizational and policy practices.

The Baduy tribe is an indigenous community in Banten Province divided into two main groups, namely Inner Baduy and Outer Baduy, with varying levels of adherence to customary law and exposure to modernization. This article examines various government policies that affect the survival and identity of the Baduy tribe. These policies include the recognition of customary rights through Lebak Regency Regulation No. 32 of 2001, the designation of Kanekes Village as customary land, and the designation of the Baduy area as a tourist destination. Although these policies aim to protect the rights and preserve the culture of the Baduy, their implementation has created a dilemma. On the one hand, tourism opens up new economic opportunities and raises cultural awareness. On the other hand, the influx of tourists triggers significant social, cultural, economic, and environmental changes, especially among the Outer Baduy, including the adoption of modern technology, shifts in consumption patterns, and increased environmental pollution. Thus, preservation policies have ironically become drivers of change that undermine the Baduy community's original identity.

This study looks at how the government isn't doing enough to watch over logging in Sumatra and how that leads to a higher chance of flooding, using the ideas from Administrative Law. Ineffective supervision, both during the licensing process and afterwards, significantly contributes to the decline of the forest's ecological functions, resulting in hydrological disasters. The study uses normative law and follows a literature review method. The data used consists of secondary data, including primary legal materials such as legislation, as well as secondary materials like textbooks, academic journals, and digital sources. Data was gathered by looking at documents and then looked at using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The research shows that the government's failure to properly carry out its responsibilities in forestry management can be considered an illegal government action, known as an 'onrechtmatige overheidsdaad'. This action goes against the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB), especially the principles of being careful with public money, being responsible, and ensuring that laws are clear and followable. This situation leads to the government being responsible, which means they must take steps to fix the environment and offer help to the communities that were affected. This study suggests strengthening the forestry oversight system by implementing regulatory improvements, improving the capacity of officials, utilizing technology, and involving the community actively to ensure transparent, accountable, and sustainable environmental management.

This community service was carried out at the Sebesi Island Coconut Brown Sugar Artisans Group, South Lampung Regency, which faced the problem of low product competitiveness due to the use of conventional plastic packaging that was simple, unattractive, and environmentally unfriendly. This topic was chosen because it is relevant to the issue of the plastic waste crisis and the urgency of implementing a circular economy in island regions that are vulnerable to environmental pollution. The objective of this activity was to improve the hard and soft skills of partners through the innovation of environmentally friendly packaging designs based on local materials, while also increasing the economic value of coconut brown sugar products. The community service was carried out using a participatory approach through socialization, training, co-design of packaging, and assistance with production and marketing for 40 partners consisting of brown sugar craftsmen, BUMDes administrators, and local natural material weavers. The results of the activity showed an increase in the partners' skills in product design and packaging, strengthening of soft skills in the form of confidence and marketing readiness, as well as an increase in the selling value and image of the product in the local market. This activity confirms that environmentally friendly packaging innovation based on local resources is an effective strategy in empowering MSMEs as well as implementing a circular economy at the village level.
