This study discusses the implementation of the effectiveness of legal oversight of regional personnel management in the era of regional autonomy. Regional autonomy grants broad authority to regional governments to regulate and manage public interests, including in the management of state civil servants (ASN). However, this authority often gives rise to problems, such as nepotism, politically motivated job transfers, and weak accountability in personnel management. Legal oversight is an important instrument to ensure that all personnel policies and practices are implemented in accordance with the principles of legality, professionalism, and accountability. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach, as well as qualitative analysis of regulations and personnel oversight practices. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of legal oversight is greatly influenced by the consistency of regulatory implementation, the strength of supervisory institutions such as the State Civil Service Commission (KASN) and the State Civil Service Agency (BKN), and the legal culture of regional apparatus. Strict enforcement of sanctions against violations also plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the merit system. The conclusion of this study confirms that effective legal oversight can prevent abuse of authority, strengthen the professionalism of civil servants (ASN), and support the achievement of regional autonomy goals, namely improving the quality of public services and public welfare. Therefore, strengthening regulations, supervisory institutions, and internalizing the values ​​of good governance are necessary to realize transparent, accountable, and integrity-based regional personnel management.

This study aims to map the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of each village within Awangpone Subdistrict to formulate a strategic model for enhancing the local economy in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Employing a qualitative field research design, the study integrates interdisciplinary, theological, and development economics approaches. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The SWOT analysis reveals that the coordinates fall within Quadrant I, indicating that strengths outweigh weaknesses and opportunities surpass threats. Accordingly, the recommended strategy is the Strength-Opportunity (S-O) approach, which emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to capitalize on external opportunities. This strategy is deemed most effective for stimulating local economic growth and accelerating SDG achievement. Internal constraints identified include underutilized tourism potential and limited access to sharia-compliant financing mechanisms. External threats comprise weak partnership collaborations and limited foreign investment engagement. While several SDG targets—such as education and community participation—have shown promising progress, others remain underdeveloped, particularly in infrastructure development and equitable access to justice for rural populations. The findings underscore the importance of context-sensitive, multi-sectoral strategies that integrate local wisdom, theological values, and economic principles. The proposed strategic model offers a practical roadmap for village-level economic empowerment, contributing to inclusive and sustainable development. This research provides actionable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and local stakeholders seeking to optimize village potential and foster resilience in rural economies.
