The increasing complexity of public demand for telecommunication services, particularly internet services, has pushed PT. Telkom, as one of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), to continuously enhance the quality of its services. One of its flagship products, Indihome, offers faster internet connectivity compared to dial-up services. However, Indihome has been frequently criticized by customers due to service disruptions. This indicates a need for developing effective strategies to address customer complaints. The primary issue faced by the public is the lack of knowledge regarding service disruptions, leading to difficulties in explaining the problem to technicians for repair. This research aims to develop a Telkom service disruption diagnosis system that can assist the public in identifying issues early without direct consultation with an expert. The system is developed using an expert system method, where information about service disruptions is processed to generate accurate diagnoses. With this system, customers can identify the type of disruption and provide clearer information to Telkom technicians. The research findings indicate that the most common disruptions are caused by faulty adapters or modems and disconnected configurations, with a density value of 54.49%. This system is expected to improve Telkom’s public service quality, minimize customer complaints, and expedite the repair process for Indihome services.

The relocation of Jakarta's capital to the National Capital Region (IKN) has sparked a heated debate in public policy circles. This article delves into the reasons why the House of Representatives (DPR) rejected the proposal, highlighting several key factors. The financial aspect was a major concern, given the high cost of building new infrastructure in IKN Nusantara, particularly in light of limited state funds and other development priorities. The social impact was also an important consideration, as population displacement, changes in lifestyle, and economic uncertainty were among the many potential consequences of moving the capital. Additionally, environmental issues such as ecosystem damage and increased pollution were also significant points of concern. Political stability was another crucial factor in the DPR's decision, as the potential disruption to stability caused by the move would need to be carefully assessed. The DPR has emphasized the importance of broad public consultation to ensure that any proposed relocation is supported by the community. An article highlights South Africa's successful capital relocation as an example of effective planning, strong public participation, and the resolution of infrastructure issues. These remarks can be applied to the Indonesian context to achieve a successful relocation.

Mass media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions of issues such as sexual and domestic violence. This study focuses on how text structure, word choice, and gender representation in news articles influence public understanding of violence. The aim of this research is to analyze how news about sexual violence and domestic violence constructs narratives and social responses through language use and text structure, and how gender representation affects public perception. The study employs critical discourse analysis based on Norman Fairclough's theory. Two news articles were selected for analysis: one about sexual violence in front of a young girl and one about domestic violence. The articles were examined for text structure, word choice, and gender representation to understand how they construct narratives. The analysis reveals that the news about sexual violence emphasizes the perpetrator's actions and the authorities' responses, using sensational language to create a negative image of the perpetrator. In contrast, the news about domestic violence focuses more on the victim's suffering and power dynamics, with detailed descriptions of physical and emotional abuse. Media shapes public perceptions of violence and gender through word choice and text structure.

The Indonesian government issued Presidential Regulation Number 79 of 2023, amending Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019, to accelerate the adoption of battery-based electric vehicles (BEVs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through incentives. These incentives, both fiscal and non-fiscal, aim to encourage the public to switch to electric vehicles. However, the environmental impact of electric vehicles needs consideration in the context of sustainable transport.

Urban drainage systems face mounting pressure due to the combined impacts of rapid urbanization and climate change. The expansion of impervious surfaces and altered precipitation patterns contribute to increased stormwater runoff, exacerbating flood risks and water quality issues in cities. Traditional drainage systems, focused primarily on controlling water volume, are insufficient to address the growing complexity of urban drainage challenges. This study proposes Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) that integrate flood management, water quality improvement, and climate resilience. By incorporating nature-based solutions such as permeable pavements, green roofs, and rain gardens, these systems aim to reduce runoff, enhance groundwater recharge, and mitigate the negative effects of urbanization. Through a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) framework, this research evaluates various drainage solutions based on technical, socio-economic, and environmental criteria. The findings indicate that SUDS outperforms traditional systems in flood mitigation, water quality control, and climate resilience, highlighting their importance in adapting to changing climatic conditions. This paper emphasizes the need for sustainable drainage solutions to ensure long-term urban resilience and improve the overall quality of urban environments.
