This research examines the legal issues surrounding the Environmental Impact Assessment (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan—AMDAL) as a prerequisite for obtaining business or activity permits in Indonesia. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, analyzing legal theories, concepts, and principles relevant to environmental law. The enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation introduced significant amendments, deletions, and new provisions to Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH Law). One of the most substantial changes is the removal of the explicit obligation to obtain an environmental permit, replacing it with a requirement for environmental approval issued by the central government. This environmental approval consists of the Statement of Environmental Management Capability (Pernyataan Kesanggupan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup—PKLHP) and the Environmental Feasibility Decision (Keputusan Kelayakan Lingkungan Hidup—KKLH), both intended to ensure that businesses and activities comply with environmental standards before commencing operations. However, the revision also affects public participation in the AMDAL process. Under the Job Creation Law, opportunities for environmental organizations and local communities to be involved in the preparation, review, and decision-making stages of AMDAL have been significantly reduced. This shift raises concerns about transparency, accountability, and the integration of environmental, social, and economic considerations in decision-making. In the context of sustainable development, environmental permits or approvals should not only serve as administrative formalities but also as instruments to safeguard environmental quality and uphold public interest. Public participation plays a critical role in ensuring that AMDAL processes reflect diverse perspectives, promote environmental justice, and support the long-term goals of environmental protection. The study concludes that while the Job Creation Law aims to streamline licensing and promote investment, its impact on public involvement in environmental governance poses risks to the integrity of environmental protection frameworks in Indonesia.

This research investigates the strategic role of the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Cirebon City in fostering economic independence among mustahik (zakat recipients) through productive zakat programs that incorporate digital technology. The focus of this study is to explore how BAZNAS' empowerment initiatives go beyond simply providing capital by integrating structured business mentoring and facilitating digital transformation to stimulate entrepreneurial progress. By employing a qualitative approach with a case study framework, the research examines the real impact of BAZNAS' programs on the livelihoods of mustahik. Data for the study were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 12 mustahik participants, program coordinators from BAZNAS, and local field facilitators. Additionally, observations during entrepreneurship workshops and analysis of official documentation provided supplementary data to strengthen the research findings. The study reveals three key outcomes: increased access to business capital for productive ventures, a growing adoption of digital tools in the operations of micro-enterprises, and enhanced financial independence achieved through business development. The findings show that BAZNAS Cirebon City has effectively contributed to improving mustahik's business management skills, expanding their access to digital markets, and supporting sustainable entrepreneurship. These efforts align with the broader goal of zakat-based empowerment, especially in the context of digitalization. The study emphasizes that the integration of digital tools is vital to empower mustahik and increase their productivity, as it enhances their ability to reach broader markets and manage their businesses more efficiently. Furthermore, the research offers practical recommendations aimed at expanding digital literacy among mustahik, promoting technology-based entrepreneurship, and improving the delivery of digital financial services within zakat distribution programs. These recommendations seek to enhance the overall effectiveness of zakat-based empowerment initiatives in the digital age.

This study explores the strategic use of garbarata as an advertising medium at Minangkabau International Airport, Padang. The garbarata, which is a connecting bridge between the terminal and the aircraft, has great potential as an exclusive advertising space and has high exposure to passengers. However, this potential has not been optimally maximized. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with airport management, direct observation of the garbarata conditions, and analysis of documentation related to advertising policies and non-aeronautical asset management. The results of the study indicate that there are several main obstacles in the use of garbarata as a promotional medium. These obstacles include minimal promotional activities to potential advertisers, unclear pricing systems for advertising space rentals, lack of collaboration with advertising agencies, and limitations in the provision of design services and visual creativity. This has led to low interest of companies in utilizing this media as part of their marketing strategy. To overcome these problems, this study proposes several development strategies, including: increasing active and planned promotional activities, setting flexible and competitive rental prices, strategic collaboration with professional advertising agencies, and providing creative design services to support the effectiveness of advertising messages. This strategy is expected to attract more companies to advertise on the aerobridge, thereby increasing the airport's non-aeronautical revenue. With proper optimization, the aerobridge will not only serve as a functional passenger facility but can also transform into a strategic asset supporting the airport's sustainable commercial development and creating added value for both the operator and its business partners.

This study aims to determine and analyze the potential and challenges of culinary businesses, the implementation of digitalization and halal certification, and the development of an effective and sustainable model for the "Resto Apung" culinary business to support food economic independence in coastal villages. The research was conducted at "Resto Apung" using a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and focus group discussions. The findings show that the "Resto Apung" business holds significant potential as a culinary destination with a strong attraction due to its unique location and menu offerings based on local marine products. However, several challenges hinder its development, including low digital literacy among business managers, lack of structured and professional management systems, and the absence of halal certification which is crucial in targeting broader Muslim consumer segments. Currently, digitalization has only been applied in the marketing aspect, primarily through social media, while other aspects such as financial management, customer service, and operational processes are still managed conventionally. Nevertheless, the managers have shown awareness and initiatives to improve, especially in recognizing halal certification as a strategic competitive advantage. The proposed development model integrates digitalization into all aspects of business management, enhances human resource capacity through technical and managerial training, and includes efforts to obtain halal certification. This holistic approach is expected to increase the competitiveness of the culinary business, optimize local potential, and ultimately contribute to the achievement of food economic independence in coastal areas.

This study aims to analyze the potential utilization of empty space on the second floor of the domestic terminal of Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (ZAM) Lombok to increase revenue from the non-aeronautical sector. The background of this study is based on the importance of optimizing airport assets to support long-term financial sustainability. This is crucial considering that the aeronautical sector is highly dependent on fluctuating flight traffic. Therefore, the development of the non-aerospace sector is a strategic alternative that needs to be seriously addressed. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through direct observation on site, interviews with airport management, and documentation studies. The results of the observation indicate that there is an empty space on the second floor of the terminal, specifically between the waiting room and a row of commercial tenants, which has not been optimally utilized. This area is considered to have a strategic position and quite high passenger traffic, so it has the potential to be developed into a new commercial facility. One of the proposed developments is a photobox service business unit with a local Lombok cultural theme. This concept is considered interesting because it combines digital technology with elements of cultural tourism promotion, in line with the trend of tourist needs for documentation and unique experiences. A feasibility analysis was conducted using the Business Model Canvas approach and the 7P marketing strategy (product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence). The results showed that this idea is feasible from both an operational and marketing perspective. The study concluded that developing a photo booth business in an empty airport area has the potential to become a new, stable, efficient, and market-relevant source of revenue. Recommendations are given to airport management to immediately realize the utilization of this area to support the airport's role as a regional economic and tourism hub.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the role of BAZNAS (National Amil Zakat Agency) of West Bandung Regency in the distribution of productive zakat as a means to foster community-based business development during the first semester of 2025. Productive zakat, unlike consumptive assistance, is positioned as a strategic instrument to improve the economic independence of mustahik (zakat recipients), particularly micro-entrepreneurs such as small shop owners, farmer groups, tailors, and individuals engaged in similar economic activities. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to capture an in-depth understanding of program implementation. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews with BAZNAS officials, serving as key informants, and the examination of relevant documents, reports, and activity records. The findings indicate that the application process for assistance is conducted through formal, verified requests, ensuring transparency and accountability, rather than accepting open-form submissions. The form and amount of assistance are adjusted to the specific type and needs of each business, and recipients are prioritized based on the eight asnaf categories, with a focus on those who already have ongoing business activities. In addition to capital provision, the program aims to empower mustahik to transition into muzakki (zakat givers) over time, thereby creating a sustainable cycle of economic empowerment. Monitoring activities are conducted three times a year to assess progress and identify challenges. However, the study also highlights constraints, including limited mentoring sessions and the need for more consistent supervision to ensure that the assistance translates into long-term economic impact. To maximize effectiveness, stronger collaboration among BAZNAS, local communities, and regional government is recommended, alongside capacity-building initiatives for beneficiaries. This collaborative approach is expected to reinforce the sustainability and impact of productive zakat programs, contributing to broader poverty reduction and community empowerment goals.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, particularly through the use of language models such as ChatGPT, has brought about significant changes in educational practices in Indonesia. The use of this technology has contributed to the creation of a more efficient learning process while enriching students' abilities to master and understand material more comprehensively. However, the use of AI in academic activities presents a number of problems, particularly related to scientific integrity, including an increased risk of digital plagiarism and a decline in critical thinking skills. In view of these developments, this study focuses on examining how the use of ChatGPT affects academic integrity and the quality of digital learning at UIN North Sumatra. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method, in which data is collected through interviews with five students from the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business (FEBI) to gain a deeper understanding of their perceptions of the use of artificial intelligence in learning activities. The findings show that although ChatGPT provides convenience and efficiency in the learning process, students emphasize the importance of supervision and knowledge of ethics so that this technology can be used appropriately and responsibly. Therefore, universities need to strengthen digital literacy and ethics among students and increase supervision to ensure that the use of this technology does not compromise academic integrity. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the impact of AI use on academic integrity in Islamic universities in Indonesia.

One of the digital marketing strategies commonly used by companies and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to introduce their products and achieve optimal profits is through the use of social media (Hidayat et al., 2022). The rapid development of information technology, particularly the internet and social media, has significantly changed consumer behavior and the way businesses operate. Digital marketing provides strategic opportunities for business actors, including lower promotional costs, increased brand awareness, and the potential to boost sales (Dwivedi et al., 2020). However, many MSMEs have not yet fully utilized digital marketing strategies through social media. The lack of digital literacy and limited understanding of effective marketing strategies remain major challenges in business development. To address these issues, a community service team from the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Islam Majapahit, implemented a mentoring program for the MSME “DnD Donat” located in Dlanggu District, Mojokerto Regency. The objective of this program was to provide the partner with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to design and implement an effective digital marketing strategy using social media as the primary promotional channel. Through this mentoring activity, the partner received education on the fundamentals of digital marketing, how to create engaging promotional content, and how to effectively use social media platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp Business. The results of the program showed that the partner gained an understanding of digital marketing strategies and began to implement them in their business activities. The positive impact of the program was reflected in a noticeable increase in both sales volume and income over a specific period following the implementation of the new marketing approach. This program is expected to serve as a model for developing digital capabilities among other MSMEs and to support the broader digital transformation in the micro and small business sector in a sustainable manner.

This study explores the critical role of law in preventing and addressing crimes within the trade sector, focusing on specific economic crimes such as corruption, embezzlement, market manipulation, and smuggling. These crimes are on the rise, primarily driven by social and economic inequality. Unequal wealth distribution, weak regulatory oversight, and legal loopholes create opportunities for individuals and groups to pursue illicit financial gains. Powerful economic entities often exploit these weaknesses to maintain monopolistic control, deepening inequality and obstructing fair competition. Moreover, inadequate law enforcement and a lack of transparency within bureaucratic systems contribute to the widespread practices of bribery and collusion between business actors and government officials. This undermines the effectiveness of existing regulations and diminishes public confidence in the legal framework. The consequences of such economic crimes extend beyond financial losses; they significantly affect the broader society. These include rising poverty and unemployment, the deterioration of public trust in legal institutions, and increased social instability, all of which threaten sustainable economic development. To address these challenges, this study applies criminological and legal perspectives, underlining the necessity of multisectoral collaboration. It advocates for stronger government and legal institutional efforts, along with active community engagement, to enhance oversight mechanisms and promote transparency. Firm and equitable enforcement of laws is essential in ensuring justice and restoring trust. Ultimately, a collective commitment to legal reform and accountability is vital to building a trade environment that is fair, inclusive, and conducive to long-term national growth.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in supporting national economic growth, particularly through their contributions to job creation and the development of local potential. MSMEs serve as the backbone of inclusive economic development by reaching various segments of society. However, despite their strategic importance, MSMEs often face internal challenges, including the risk of fraud committed by employees. This study aims to examine the forms of fraud risk occurring within the MSME HJ.GUS BUSANA and analyze their impact on business operations. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through direct interviews with the business owner. This method allowed for a contextual and in-depth understanding of the types of fraud experienced. The findings reveal two primary forms of employee fraud that pose a threat to operational efficiency and business sustainability. First, the excessive use of raw materials without the owner’s knowledge or approval, categorized as a high-risk behavior. Second, the use of business facilities such as equipment and working hours for personal purposes, categorized as a moderate-risk behavior. These practices lead to resource wastage, increased operational costs, and decreased productivity. The impact of such fraud is not only financial but can also erode trust within the workplace environment. Therefore, a more effective internal control system is essential, including proper monitoring of material usage and access to business resources. Additionally, instilling strong work ethics and a sense of responsibility among employees is crucial in building a positive organizational culture. Implementing these measures is key to ensuring that MSMEs can not only survive but also grow sustainably amidst the ever-changing business landscape. Strengthening internal supervision and ethical awareness can significantly reduce the risk of fraud, thereby enhancing the long-term resilience and performance of the enterprise.

Small-scale economic activities, such as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), play a vital role in a region's economy. MSMEs need to be protected and empowered to prevent unfair competition between businesses, especially those involving large-scale businesses. One example of an MSME with great potential is the amplang (rice crackers) manufacturing business, a typical souvenir from Balikpapan. Amplang has a distinctive taste and is attractive to tourists visiting the city, and has the potential to be further developed in the future. However, during the community service process, several problems were discovered among these MSMEs. One of the main problems is the lack of online product marketing expansion. These MSMEs still rely on traditional marketing methods, which are limited to direct sales or through local markets. However, with technological developments and high internet usage, the use of social media for product promotion can have a significant impact on increasing sales and market reach. To address this issue, market share expansion was carried out by utilizing social media, which has not previously been used by these MSMEs. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp can be highly effective platforms for introducing amplang products to a wider market, both locally, regionally, and nationally. Furthermore, this community service program also provides business development assistance by providing training to MSMEs in social media management, engaging content creation, and appropriate digital marketing strategies. With this introduction to online marketing and mentoring, it is hoped that amplang MSMEs in Balikpapan can better develop their businesses, expand their market reach, and increase their competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market.

In addition, the involvement of local MSMEs is an important component in expanding the adoption of e-commerce in an inclusive and equitable manner throughout the city. This research also highlights the importance of digital literacy among the public, including micro business actors, to optimize the use of digital technology in business transactions. The local government is expected to strengthen regulations, provide supporting infrastructure, and open cross-sector collaboration to accelerate digital transformation in Pekanbaru. A sustainable education strategy for the community is also needed through training, digital socialization, and technical support so that all levels of society can actively participate in the digital ecosystem. Thus, synergy between the government, business actors, academics, and the community is the main key in creating an adaptive, efficient, and sustainable digital ecosystem, as well as making Pekanbaru a smart city that excels in the field of electronic commerce.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Denpasar City have a strategic role in the regional economy, particularly through job creation and contributions to local income. Despite their potential, many MSMEs still encounter challenges in financial management, which can hinder their development and sustainability. The emergence of information technology offers solutions, including cloud-based accounting systems that provide convenience, efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility—features that are especially beneficial for small business actors. This study aims to explore the factors that influence MSMEs’ interest in adopting cloud accounting systems in Denpasar City. The research uses a quantitative method with a survey approach involving MSME actors who currently use or have the potential to use cloud accounting. The independent variables in this study include personal ability, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived data security risk, while the dependent variable is the interest in using cloud accounting systems. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the effect of each factor on the dependent variable. The results show that personal ability, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness have a positive and significant influence on MSMEs’ interest in adopting cloud accounting systems. In contrast, perceived security risk has a negative and significant effect, indicating that concerns about data privacy and cyber threats may hinder the adoption of this technology. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of technology acceptance among MSMEs and highlight the importance of strengthening digital competencies, improving user-friendly system design, and enhancing cybersecurity measures. These insights are expected to support government and developers in formulating appropriate strategies to accelerate digital transformation within the MSME sector, especially in the context of financial technology. The implementation of such strategies can improve business performance and competitiveness among MSMEs in Denpasar and beyond.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a strategic role in national economic development, particularly in rural areas. Their existence not only supports local economic growth but also contributes to cultural preservation. One concrete example is the Balinese kamen embroidery convection industry that is developing in Kates Village, Kauman District, Tulungagung Regency. This industry not only produces products that represent local cultural identity but also serves as a primary source of livelihood for a large portion of the local community. This study aims to examine the role and impact of this embroidery convection industry on improving the economic conditions of the Kates Village community. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a field study method, where data were collected through direct observation techniques, in-depth interviews with village officials, convection business owners, workers, and local residents, as well as documentation related to production activities. The results show that this industry is able to absorb a significant local workforce, both among women and youth, thereby reducing unemployment. Furthermore, community incomes have increased, directly impacting families' living standards. Furthermore, the existence of this industry has also encouraged the growth of new entrepreneurs, both in the convection sector and other supporting sectors such as distribution and marketing. Overall, the Balinese kamen embroidery convection industry in Kates Village has proven to be a local economic force based on culture. Its potential to strengthen the people's economy is enormous, especially if developed in a targeted and sustainable manner through policy support and capacity building of business actors. Therefore, greater attention from the government and other stakeholders is needed to ensure this industry continues to grow and provides long-term positive impacts for the community.
