The findings indicate that the success of Umbul Ponggok’s tourism development is not merely attributable to its natural endowments, but also to the capacity of the village government and BUMDes to formulate long-term policy directions, critically review and refine existing initiatives, and foster cross-sectoral collaboration. These results highlight the critical importance of strengthening village institutional capabilities and human resources as a foundation for implementing adaptive and forward-looking policies.

Digital transformation of government has become a priority agenda in smart city development in Indonesia. This study analyzes the digital transformation strategies implemented by various local governments in adopting smart city technology through a comparative study approach. Using a qualitative methodology with multi-case analysis, this study examines five cities in Indonesia that have implemented smart city initiatives: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Makassar. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, field observations, and policy document analysis. The findings show that the success of smart city implementation is influenced by transformational leadership factors, digital infrastructure readiness, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and human resource capacity. Implementation failures are mainly caused by budget constraints, resistance to organizational change, and lack of system integration. This study provides theoretical contributions in the development of a digital transformation framework for government and practical contributions in the preparation of a smart city roadmap in Indonesia.

Street-level bureaucracy refers to the role of frontline bureaucrats who directly engage with the public in the implementation of public policies, including stunting management. In Sidoarjo Regency, stunting remains a critical public health issue with long-term implications for human capital development, despite the government’s continuous efforts to reduce its prevalence. Actors such as posyandu cadres, health center personnel, and officials from the District Health Office serve as the front line in detecting stunting cases, delivering nutritional counseling, monitoring child growth, and connecting communities with essential health services. However, the effectiveness of these roles is often constrained by limited resources, excessive workloads, lack of adequate training, and insufficient incentives that do not reflect the complexity of their responsibilities. Furthermore, policy implementation is frequently hindered by weak inter-sectoral coordination, low community engagement, and the gap between administrative guidelines and the realities faced in the field. The discretionary power held by these street-level bureaucrats becomes both a strength and a challenge—allowing for flexible adaptation to local needs while raising concerns about accountability and service consistency. Addressing stunting effectively at the local level requires strategic capacity-building for implementers through continuous training, fair compensation, and strengthened collaboration among governmental actors and other stakeholders. These efforts must be integrated, holistic, and sustainable in order to truly tackle the root causes of stunting and generate meaningful improvements in public health outcomes.

The construction of houses in river border areas is a complex issue involving legal, environmental, and spatial planning aspects. River borders are protected zones designated to maintain the ecological function of rivers and to mitigate disaster risks. In Indonesia, development in these areas is regulated through various legal instruments, including Government Regulation No. 38 of 2011 and the OSS RBA (Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach) system. Local governments play a strategic role in spatial planning, granting permits, conducting supervision, and enforcing the law. However, significant challenges persist, such as inadequate spatial data, weak integration between local and central information systems, and socio-political pressures that influence decision-making. Furthermore, overlapping authorities between central and local governments after the Omnibus Law have further complicated the permitting and monitoring processes. A case study in Tanah Laut Regency reveals that negligence in issuing permits can lead to environmental degradation. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration, strengthened human resource capacity, and policy harmonization between central and local governments are essential. The implementation of a fair, transparent, and risk-based permitting system is key to protecting river border zones and achieving sustainable development that aligns with public interests and environmental preservation.

Speaking skills are one of the fundamental aspects of language competence that play a central role in interpersonal communication, learning, and individual self-development in society. In the context of language learning, speaking skills not only reflect a person's linguistic ability, but also demonstrate maturity of thinking, social skills, and the capacity to participate actively in various communicative situations. UNESCO (2023) emphasizes that strengthening oral communication skills among students is very important to prepare them to face the challenges of the increasingly complex and dialogue-based world of work and global society. This teaching material development model is also driven by the use of technology and interactive multimedia, such as animated videos, to web-based e-modules. Recent studies have shown that teaching materials like this have been proven to improve students' maharah kalam (speaking), reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills in understanding Arabic texts more comprehensively

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that significantly affects the growth and development of children, particularly those aged 12–59 months. Posyandu cadres play a vital role in assisting parents in providing appropriate feeding practices for their children. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of training using booklet media in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cadres in stunting-related child feeding assistance. This research employed a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design involving 10 Posyandu cadres in the working area of  Health Center. The results of paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests showed significant improvements in knowledge (p = 0.000), attitude (p = 0.000), and practice (p = 0.000) after the intervention. The booklet proved to be an effective educational tool to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres. These findings recommend the use of booklets as a sustainable educational strategy in community-based stunting reduction programs.

This studyaims to examine the economic activities of low-income communities and identify factors that influence these activities in Tamaila Utara Village,Tolangohula Sub-district,Gorontalo Regency. The study employed a qualitative method using a systematic approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interview, and source triangulation.Data analysis involved data reduction followed by drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that most low-income residents in Tamaila Utara rely on agriculture, particularly corn farming, as their primary livelihood. Farming activities are supported by family members due to limited financial capacity to hire labor, and the tools used are still very simple or traditional. For crop distribution,the community depends on local traders who offer prices significantly lower than market rates, due to limited transportation access to larger markets. In terms of consumption,residents can only meet their basic needs, with low nutritional intake due to minimal income. Other challenges to improving the local economy include water scarcity during the dry season, low educational attainment among farmers,lack of government-provided training, and unpredictable weather and environmental conditions. Therefore,government support is urgently needed,such as irrigation development, agricultural training, and the provision of modern tools or technology to enhance community welfare in the future.

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.

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.    

Since the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at the end of 2015, all economic actors—including SMEs and microenterprises—are expected to improve and adapt in order to enhance the quality of both goods and services. Failure to do so may result in Indonesia becoming a "soft target" market for other ASEAN countries, given its status as the most populous country in the region with over 270 million people. SMEs and microenterprises, which represent the embodiment of people-based economic democracy, would be particularly vulnerable if goods and services from various ASEAN countries continue to flood the Indonesian market. Recognizing this situation, empowering SMEs and microenterprises is not only necessary but inevitable to help the nation discover its identity through the development of comparative and competitive advantages. This activity began by identifying existing problems, followed by determining suitable solutions. The method used involves training and mentoring.The outcome of this initiative is the improved capability of the traditional cake microenterprise to optimize its sales by using locally sourced raw materials. As a result, the "Puji Lestari" Traditional Cake Microenterprise has successfully enhanced its production capacity and business management.Financial reporting is also a crucial aspect of business development. A well-maintained financial report reflects the progress of the business, particularly through the net profits it generates. These outcomes serve as indicators of increased empowerment and the strengthening of the enterprise.
