Tropical regions offer significant opportunities in the development of renewable energy, particularly through industrial-scale Solar Power Plants (PLTS). This study aims to analyze PLTS implementation strategies in tropical areas as a means to support clean energy and green economic development. A literature study with a qualitative-descriptive approach was employed. The results show that industrial-scale PLTS implementation is highly promising due to stable and high solar radiation throughout the year. However, challenges persist such as limited infrastructure, high initial capital, and inconsistent regulatory frameworks. Thus, collaboration among stakeholders is essential to establish a sustainable energy ecosystem.

Inclusive education is an education system that is friendly to all individuals without distinguishing the diversity of their characteristics. This system provides educational services that allow children with special needs to learn with their peers in the public school closest to where they live.

Therefore, this paper shows that Brunei has managed to balance military cooperation with the UK and economic cooperation with China in the midst of great power rivalries and tensions over the South China Sea dispute, as well as its implications for regional stability.

The abolition of the National Examination (UN) as a national policy has marked a significant change in the education evaluation system in Indonesia. This policy was implemented with the aim of reducing psychological pressure on students and replacing it with a more holistic evaluation approach through the National Assessment (AN). However, this transformation has raised various issues, particularly regarding the aspects of equity and accountability in education quality. This study aims to analyze in depth the impact of the abolition of UN on the quality of educational evaluation by examining its implications for equitable access, fairness, and accountability systems at both national and local levels. This research uses a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, analyzing various scholarly literature sources and relevant policy documents published between 2020 and 2024. The findings indicate that although the UN was abolished with the intention of promoting fairness and reducing academic stress, the implementation of AN has yet to ensure equitable implementation of educational evaluations across regions. Moreover, the absence of a standardized, open, and quantitative evaluation indicator such as the UN has weakened transparency and accountability in education, both in the public's perception and in policy-making processes. Therefore, a new evaluation system is needed—one that is not only diagnostic in nature but also ensures data transparency, equitable access, and strengthened public accountability functions in education.

Climate change is an urgent global challenge demanding local adaptation and mitigation. This research focuses on evaluating the sustainability of the Climate Village Program ProKlim in Kampung Airport, Teluknaga Village, Tangerang Regency. Although this location achieved national "ProKlim Utama" status in 2022, initial observations revealed a significant decline in program implementation. Identified issues include neglected facilities, suboptimal institutional management, decreased community participation, and regulatory gaps. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, applying Leo Agustino’s policy evaluation model. Data was collected through interviews with relevant informants, direct field observations, and document analysis. The data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, with source and technique triangulation ensuring the findings' credibility. The research indicates that despite initial competence and positive characteristics of ProKlim managers, several factors hinder its sustainability. These include human resource capabilities technical skills and limited personnel, institutional management lack of formal structure and inconsistent monitoring, infrastructure maintenance damaged facilities and insufficient operational budget, and inadequate understanding of regulations. The long-term success of ProKlim in Kampung Airport is threatened by a lack of strong institutionalization, consistent resource allocation, and sustained multi-stakeholder involvement beyond the initial certification momentum.

Pasuruan City has an economic dynamic driven by the informal sector, especially street vendors (PKL), which play a crucial role in supporting the community's economy. One of the locations that is the center of street vendor activities is the Pasuruan City Square area. Despite its strategic value, the presence of street vendors in the area has caused problems related to order, cleanliness, and public space management. In response, the Pasuruan City Government has enacted Local Regulation No. 2/2013 on the Arrangement and Empowerment of Street Vendors. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy and identify factors that support and hinder its implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach by referring to Van Meter and Van Horn's policy implementation theory, which includes six main indicators. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study. The results show that policy implementation is quite effective, as seen from the addition of official locations, assistance with facilities such as carts, and entrepreneurship training. However, challenges remain, mainly related to limited human resources and low compliance of street vendors with zoning regulations.

The phenomenon of street children, vagrants, and beggars is still a fairly complex social problem in Pasuruan City. The Pasuruan City Government has issued Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2021 as an effort to overcome the existence of street children, vagrants and beggars who are considered to disturb public order. This study aims to determine how the policy is implemented and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach and uses the Van Metter and Van Horn policy implementation theory as the basis for analysis. The results of the study show that although the policy has fairly clear standards and targets, its implementation has not been optimal due to the lack of resources, the unavailability of special rehabilitation facilities in Pasuruan City, and the weak ongoing commitment of the implementers. Coordination between implementing agencies is also not fully synergistic. Therefore, the successful implementation of this Regional Regulation requires improvements in aspects of resources, rehabilitation facilities, and strengthening cross-agency cooperation. A stronger commitment is needed from the local government so that handling street children, vagrants and beggars can be carried out more comprehensively and sustainably.

In the digital era, social media platforms like Instagram have become critical arenas for public discourse, especially in political communication. This study investigates public sentiment and expressive speech acts in Instagram comments responding to two of President Prabowo’s key policy announcements: the Free Nutritious Meal Program and the policy of direct bank transfers for regional ASN teacher allowances. Guided by Searle’s theory of speech acts, particularly expressive acts such as thanking, complementing, congratulating, deploring, condoling, apologizing, and welcoming, the study analyzes 60 purposively selected comments, 30 for each policy. The findings show that deploring dominates the discourse, with 67% in the meal program post and 73% in the ASN allowance post, indicating prevailing negative sentiment marked by criticism, disappointment, and frustration. Positive speech acts such as complimenting and thanking were present but marginal. These results highlight the importance of transparent policy implementation and the need for improved public communication strategies to address citizen concerns more effectively on digital platforms.  

This study discusses the comparison of green economic policies implemented between Indonesia and Malaysia in supporting inclusive sustainable national development, which is examined normatively through a comparative study approach. Indonesia, through Law No. 30 of 2007 on Energy, Law No. 21 of 2014 on Geothermal Energy, and other regulations, has established a national green program encompassing environmental quality improvement, disaster resilience and climate change mitigation, low-carbon development, and renewable energy development as pillars of national development. Meanwhile, Malaysia's National Energy Policy 2022-2040 and other regulations stipulate that a green economy can be achieved through economic development, the utilization of sustainable energy resources, and environmental quality. Research findings indicate that Indonesia has not maximized the implementation of a green economy due to the ease of business permits granted to investors and limited regulations within specific scopes, while Malaysia has established more complex regulations regarding green investments, ensuring that permits are not issued arbitrarily.

This study analyzes the mechanism of inter-regional cooperation in managing TransJatim as a sustainable public transportation system in East Java. Using a qualitative approach and literature study, the study identified three main aspects: (1) a multi-level collaboration model between the provincial government and five regencies/cities (Surabaya, Gresik, Mojokerto, Lamongan, Bangkalan) regulated through Governor Regulation No. 15/2018 and inter-regional MoU; (2) four main obstacles including policy asymmetry, fiscal inequality, technological disparity, and local political dynamics; and (3) strengthening strategies through five pillars: institutional consolidation, regulatory harmonization, financing strengthening, digital transformation, and capacity building. The findings show that the effectiveness of current collaboration is hampered by the lack of an authorized joint management institution and a clear accountability system. The study recommends the establishment of an independent TransJatim Management Agency, the preparation of integrated SOPs, a sustainable financing system, and an integrated digital platform to support the achievement of SDGs (especially goals 11 and 13) in sustainable transportation. The strategy implementation is proposed in three stages: preparation (1 year), transition (2 years), and full operation.

Child marriage remains a serious issue in many regions of Indonesia, including Sampang Regency, Madura. Despite the implementation of laws that set the minimum legal age for marriage, early marriages are still widespread and bring various negative impacts, including educational dropout, reproductive health risks, and socio-economic problems. This study aims to analyze the impact of child marriage using the Street-Level Bureaucracy approach developed by Michael Lipsky (2010). This approach focuses on how front-line policy implementers-such as officials from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), Religious Court judges, social service officers, and community leaders-interpret and enforce child marriage prevention policies at the local level. This research employs a qualitative method with data collected through in-depth interviews with policy implementers and affected community members. The findings indicate that policy implementation is heavily influenced by the discretion of street-level bureaucrats and is shaped by local cultural values and social pressures. Variations in how policies are applied lead to inconsistent outcomes in child marriage prevention. The study also highlights that child marriage often results in school dropout, emotional and financial unpreparedness, and reproductive health risks.

Supporting factors for the implementation of the strategy include teacher commitment, madrasah policy support, and a positive learning environment. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include limited learning time, infrastructure, and emotional readiness of students. Overall, these strategies contribute to the formation of students' character and the improvement of social skills and self-reflection.

The comparison of health law between Indonesia andMalaysia covers critical aspects of the healthcare system that influence the quality of life of their citizens. This study primarily focuses on occupational health and safety (OHS) for healthcare workers. According to global data, Malaysia has a better healthcare system compared to Indonesia, as reflected in its higher ranking on the Health Care Index. In Indonesia,health law regulations often undergo changes and revisions,such as the enactment of the Omnibus Law, which consolidates various health sector regulations. However, this has raised concerns about the diminishing legal protection for healthcare workers. In contrast, Malaysia presents a more structured system, with the integration of health and labor institutions through the Department of Occupational Safety And Health (DOSH), which ensures better workplace safety and clearer standards. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach by analyzing legal documents such as Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health in Indonesia and the Occupational Safety and Health Act in Malaysia. The Malaysian approach is more preventive and promotive in nature, differing from Indonesia’s curative-dominated model. The study aims to compare the legal health regulations of both countries, assess their implementation effectiveness, and offer policy recommendations based on best practices applied inMalaysia to improve the quality of healthcare services inIndonesia. The findings reveal that although Indonesia has significant potential in the health sector, weak regulation implementation and supervision remain major obstacles. Therefore, a more structured and efficient regulatory reform is needed to enhance legal protection for healthcare workers and improve health services.

The Child Protection Law affirms that the state guarantees children's rights to “protection from violence” as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution. This paper examines child abuse within the framework of Indonesian positive law using a normative approach and legal philosophy (positivism). The focus of the analysis is to what extent legal norms (such as the Child Protection Law, the Criminal Code, the Domestic Violence Law, etc.) align with the values of justice and children's human rights. A normative approach is used to analyze the laws and legal literature, while the philosophical approach, particularly the positivist ideas of Hans Kelsen and H.L.A. Hart, is employed to understand the relationship between legal norms and the concept of justice. The analysis reveals that although child protection regulations exist, their implementation on the ground tends to be legalistic, often neglecting humanitarian and justice elements. This study emphasizes the need for alignment between legal norms and substantive justice and the protection of children's human rights. The implication of this research is the need for a legal policy that is more responsive to children's rights and justice.

This devotion discusses the implementation of the Spatial Planning Policy (RTRW) in West Sumbawa Regency to support the development of strategic areas from an economic perspective. The RTRW policy serves as the foundation for the formulation of development programs, aiming to create efficient, effective, and sustainable land use. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, this study highlights key factors in policy implementation, including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The Results of dedication that although the RTRW policy has been implemented, various challenges remain, such as low public participation, limited human resources and budget constraints, and legal uncertainties in land use. Additionally, the complexity of the bureaucratic structure influences the effectiveness of RTRW policy implementation. This study emphasizes the need for improved communication between the government and the public, capacity building for human resources, and more balanced regulations to achieve sustainable development in West Sumbawa Regency.

The No Smoking Area (KTR) is a form of protection for the community from the adverse effects of smoking, which is regulated in Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2016. This study aims to analyse the implementation of the KTR policy in the Regional Apparatus Organisation (OPD) of Merangin Regency by reviewing four aspects of policy implementation, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. The research informants consisted of OPD parties involved in the implementation of KTR. The results showed that in the communication aspect, KTR policies have been socialised through print and electronic media, but delivery training has not been carried out optimally. In the resource aspect, limited human resources, funds, and facilities are the main obstacles in implementing KTR. In the disposition aspect, most OPDs show commitment in implementing KTR, but have not been supported by providing incentives or awards. In the aspect of bureaucratic structure, there is no special SOP or organisational structure in each OPD for KTR implementation, so the implementation is still not running optimally. In conclusion, the implementation of the KTR policy in Merangin Regency has not run optimally because there are still weaknesses in the four aspects, especially related to coordination, human resources, and supporting institutions.

The phenomenon of increasing potential for social conflict in the regions, including in Gorontalo Province, demands the presence of security forces that are able to act quickly, professionally, and in accordance with legal corridors. The Brimob unit as part of the National Police has a vital role in implementing riot control policies to maintain national stability and security. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of Brimob Gorontalo's role in implementing the policy, in terms of legal aspects, especially in accordance with the principles of human rights and applicable laws and regulations. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative with literature and documentation study methods. The results of the analysis show that although the policy has been implemented in accordance with protap and regulations, the effectiveness of its implementation still faces challenges such as limited human resources, understanding of human rights, and social resistance. Therefore, it is recommended that Brimob Gorontalo strengthen human rights-based training, increase transparency of actions, and strengthen synergies with communities and local policy makers to create sustainable and equitable security.

This study aims to examine immigration administration within the context of foreigner surveillance in Indonesia through a literature review approach. The primary focus is on policy analysis, implementation, challenges, and the effectiveness of surveillance systems based on legal documents, institutional reports, and recent academic publications. Findings indicate that Indonesia’s immigration policy has a relatively strong legal framework through Law No. 6 of 2011 and its derivative regulations. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as limited human resources, uneven technological infrastructure, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. The adoption of information technology tools such as SIMKIM, APOA, and CEKAL represents an important innovation, although they have not been fully optimized. This study recommends strengthening institutional capacity, updating evidence-based regulations, and enhancing multi-actor collaboration as strategic future steps.
