Backround: Basic immunization is a crucial step in preventing communicable diseases that can be controlled through vaccination in infants. However, the coverage of basic immunization in Indonesia has not yet reached the desired target. One of the factors influencing immunization coverage is the low level of maternal knowledge about immunization. This issue was identified in a preliminary study conducted at PMB Suratni. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of health education using audio-visual media in improving mothers' knowledge about basic immunization at PMB Suratni.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a control group. A total of 50 mothers with infants aged 0–12 months at PMB Suratni were selected as respondents. The intervention group received health education using audio-visual media, while the control group was given conventional lecture-based education. Data were collected through pretest and posttest questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and N-Gain score.Results: Expert evaluations of the material and media categorized them as appropriate. The study results from both interventions indicated a significant improvement in maternal knowledge in the group that received audio-visual education compared to the control group. The average N-Gain score in the intervention group was 0.72 (high category), whereas the control group scored 0.45 (moderate category). The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of <0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion: Health education using audio-visual media is proven to be more effective in enhancing mothers' knowledge about basic immunization compared to the lecture method. Audio-visual health education can serve as an interactive and informative alternative in health education programs to improve basic immunization coverage in infants.

Licensing is an important factor for investors when making an investment. To speed up and simplify the licensing process, the government created the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. In South Tangerang, the Department of Investment and One Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) plays an important role in the coffee shop business licensing process. To open a coffee shop, a location permit, environmental permit, NIB and business trading permit through OSS are required. Obstacles in the licensing process often cause delays and difficulties for business actors. The aim of this research is to determine and analyze the effectiveness of applying for coffee shop business permits through Online Single Submission at the South Tangerang One Stop Integrated Services Investment Service. The method used in the research is a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. This research uses the theory of Thomas R. Dye (2013). The research results show that the indicators for setting clear goals have not been achieved optimally even though the goals of time efficiency and transparency of business permits through the OSS system are quite effective. In the results measurement indicators, positive results have been achieved, which can be seen from the success of OSS in increasing the number of NIBs by 10% from the previous year. Performance evaluation indicators are not optimal due to limited email, network and server constraints, apart from that the appearance and provisions of the OSS system also make it difficult for users to access the OSS system again. In the cost-benefit analysis indicator, it is quite efficient in reducing permit processing time and without any costs incurred. Contextual factor indicators provide a positive impact where the JOSS Program is a form of the South Tangerang government's commitment to assisting the community in licensing through the OSS system. The feedback and adjustment indicators have not been optimal in providing guidance and information to business actors, so there are still business actors who have not registered their business permits through this OSS system.
