There should be stability in the maximum cash withdrawal policy from all means: Point of sale (POS), automated teller machines (ATM) over the bank counter, etc., and adequate provisions for electronic banking for rural and urban centers should be made by financial sector administrators. The government should promote ceaseless cash traceability and accountability to keep the new notes as close to the banking system as possible.

A city is one of the areas heavily populated by people. In Indonesia, there are a total of 98 cities. A city is a complex area because it has various zones such as central zones, industrial zones, and suburban zones. Additionally, a city should also have green open spaces. Green open spaces can help minimize global warming and the greenhouse effect in urban areas. Moreover, cities often grapple with waste issues. Urban residents should develop good mental attitudes and habits, such as not littering. Cooperation between the government, which builds proper and appropriate urban planning by providing green areas, and the public's awareness to maintain city cleanliness by disposing of waste properly, is necessary.

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, understanding the demand for EV charging infrastructure becomes essential for effective urban planning.

Housing is a collection of houses as part of settlements, both urban and rural, which are equipped with public infrastructure, facilities and utilities as a result of efforts to provide livable houses. If you look at the definition of housing, you can see that infrastructure, facilities and public utilities are requirements that must be completed in housing. In fact, when the housing is still under construction, housing marketing through a preliminary sale and purchase agreement system can only be carried out after there is certainty about several things, one of which is the availability of infrastructure, facilities and public utilities. Quantitative data from interview results is described in a frequency table qualitatively and descriptively. The data that has been obtained through research activities is analyzed qualitatively. Qualitative analysis is used to describe the data obtained, both primary data and secondary data, which is then followed by interpretation and conclusions. Implementation of the procurement of public facilities and social facilities is a mandatory requirement that must be provided by the developer/developer to obtain a building construction permit (IMB) from the Spatial Planning and Building Service. Where housing is a collection of houses as part of settlements, both urban and rural, which are equipped with infrastructure, facilities and public utilities as a result of efforts to provide livable houses. The development of housing infrastructure, facilities and public utilities is carried out by the Government, regional governments and/or every person. So the responsibility of the Surabaya City Regional Government for social facilities and public facilities in residential and residential areas is to carry out management, namely, by utilizing these facilities according to their intended use and by carrying out maintenance so that these facilities can be used optimally by residents.

Industrialization has helped the economic growth and progress of many countries, but it is still understood about its effects on government, power structures, and social relations. The study investigates the impact of industrialization on these three components, with particular emphasis on Indonesia. Government has changed significantly as a result of industrialization, which has played an important role in driving industrial growth. To attract foreign investment, improve infrastructure, and improve the business environment, governments have implemented several policies, but there are concerns about their ability to oversee industry and protect the interests of local communities. In addition, the power structure has undergone significant shifts, with the emergence of new social classes and the consolidation of power among certain classes. The industrial sector has also created new opportunities for social mobility, but has also exacerbated economic and social disparities. To solve this problem, this study suggests that the distribution of wealth and power must be fairer. Industrialization, along with increased urbanization and urban growth, has had a significant impact on social relations. The study investigates how industrialization has affected social relationships, including its impact on family structures, community networks, and social identities. So, Indonesian government, power structure, and social relations are heavily influenced by industrialization. Although it has produced significant economic gains, it has also created new problems and differences. This research suggests that a deeper understanding of the impact of industrialization is vital, as are the policies needed to address the social and economic impacts of industrialisation.

A substation is a transmission installation that distributes power to a load in a certain area. The Sekayu 150 KV Substation is the center for controlling electrical power load requirements and functions as a center for securing electrical power system equipment and as a center for the normalization process for disturbances in the Sekayu transmission area. The electrical power distribution system does not rule out the possibility of disturbances, especially disturbances caused by nature. If there is an unpredictable disturbance, appropriate and reliable safety equipment (protection system) is needed to be able to increase the distribution of electrical power to the load (consumer).
