Community-based tourism is a form of tourism development managed by local communities with the aim of providing direct benefits to the local population. Lubuk Mande Rubiah Subdistrict in Padang City has promising natural tourism potential, yet youth involvement in its development remains limited. This study aims to examine the socialization of the role of Karang Taruna (youth organization) in supporting tourism development in the area. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through field observation and interviews with local youths involved in Karang Taruna. The results indicate that Karang Taruna contributes to managing ticketing, maintaining the cleanliness of the site, and initiating promotional efforts through social media. However, the lack of training and supporting facilities poses significant challenges to fully realizing this potential. The socialization efforts focused on strengthening youth capacity, increasing awareness of tourism promotion, and providing a sample digital product in the form of a promotional video. These findings imply that, with the right approach, Karang Taruna can serve as a driving force in building a sustainable tourism ecosystem rooted in local community participation.   Keywords: , , 

Economic growth is a complex process influenced by various factors, one of which is capital accumulation. Capital accumulation plays a crucial role in increasing production capacity, creating employment opportunities, and enhancing labor productivity. This study analyzes the role of capital accumulation in Indonesia’s economic growth by highlighting key factors contributing to national output expansion. Using the growth accounting approach and neoclassical growth theory, this research confirms that while capital accumulation contributes to per capita income growth, long-term economic growth remains dependent on efficient resource allocation and productivity improvements through innovation and human capital development. The Cobb-Douglas production model is applied to understand the relationship between capital, labor, and output in determining economic growth rates. The findings indicate that countries with higher savings and investment rates tend to experience faster economic growth. Therefore, economic policies focusing on increasing investment, strengthening human capital, and optimizing resource allocation are key factors in accelerating Indonesia’s economic growth.

The role of leaders in da'wah institutions is very strategic in improving the quality of human resources (HR) who are the driving force of da'wah activities. Leaders function not only as directors of the organization's vision and mission, but also as facilitators of competency development, motivators, and role models in the implementation of da'wah values. This study aims to analyze how leadership styles, HR development strategies, and coaching approaches contribute to increasing the capacity of members in da'wah institutions. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with interview techniques and documentation studies. The results showed that adaptive, communicative, and value-based leaders were able to encourage significant individual and collective capacity building. Effective strategies include regular training, mentoring, empowering individual potential, and creating a supportive organizational culture. Thus, the success of a da'wah institution in achieving its goals is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the leader's role in fostering and improving the quality of human resources.

The dichotomy between general sciences and religious sciences has become a fundamental issue in modern educational systems, resulting in the emergence of a generation fragmented in knowledge and values. In the context of Indonesian Muslim society, the emergence of Integrated Islamic Schools (Sekolah Islam Terpadu/SIT) serves as a response to concerns over a secular-oriented education system that fails to address spiritual dimensions and holistic character development. This study aims to analyze how the integration of general and religious knowledge serves both as a paradigmatic foundation and a policy driver behind the rise of SIT as an alternative educational model. The research employs a qualitative approach using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, involving an in-depth analysis of scholarly literature, policy documents, and relevant research findings. The results reveal that knowledge integration within SIT goes beyond curriculum unification; it involves an epistemological reconstruction of education that unites cognitive and spiritual dimensions within a tawhidic (monotheistic) framework. National education policy provides a legal space for the development of SIT, while the strategic role of SIT is evident in its capacity to nurture students who are academically competent and morally grounded. This study highlights the importance of strengthening policy and institutional capacity to ensure the sustainability of an integrative and contextually responsive Islamic education system.

Post-harvest handling of fish requires an effective cold chain system, including the availability of ice factories, to preserve the quality and freshness of catches. The presence of an ice factory enables fishermen to bring ice during fishing trips, ensuring the catch remains safe for consumption. The planning of a portable mini ice factory in Ciwaru Village, located within the Ciletuh National Geopark, aims to maintain fish quality along the southern coast of West Java. Although several ice factories exist in Sukabumi Regency, their availability at fish landing sites such as the Ciwaru Fish Auction Place (TPI) remains insufficient. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 2 of 2021, assistance for ice factory construction is provided to fishermen groups following a feasibility study submission. This community service project aims to assist fishermen cooperatives in improving cold chain management and preparing a feasibility study for ice factory development. Key issues identified include limited human resource competence, hygiene and sanitation challenges, feasibility study preparation, and internal communication enhancement within cooperatives. Solutions are implemented through training programs, cold chain method applications, feasibility analysis for mini ice factories, and the development of an information system for fishermen. The planned ice factory unit has a capacity of 1 ton per 8-hour cycle, supported by three freshwater wells near the site. Economic analysis reveals an NPV of Rp1,170,676,141, an IRR of 10.91%, and a Net B/C Ratio of 1.64, with a BEP at 311 tons/year, well below the installed capacity of 788 tons/year, confirming its economic viability. The resulting feasibility study will serve as the basis for applying for government assistance, complemented by scientific publications, national media coverage, video documentation, and intellectual property registration.

This article discusses the evaluation of learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) through a library research approach. Evaluation is a crucial component of the learning process, as it measures the extent to which learning objectives cognitive, affective, and psychomotor have been achieved. In practice, PAI evaluations still tend to emphasize the cognitive aspect, while the affective and psychomotor domains receive less attention. Findings from various literature sources emphasize the importance of holistic evaluation that comprehensively assesses all learning domains. Alternative methods such as observation, portfolios, reflective journals, self-assessment, and religious project-based evaluations are recommended to capture students' learning outcomes more accurately. However, implementation challenges persist, including limited time, insufficient teacher training, and a lack of appropriate evaluation tools. Therefore, this article recommends enhanced teacher capacity-building, supportive policies, and innovation in evaluation systems so that PAI assessment moves beyond administrative formality and effectively fosters students’ Islamic character development in a holistic manner

The transformation of digital leadership in education has become an urgent necessity amid rapid technological advancements and shifting social paradigms. This study aims to identify multiplying factors in digital leadership, examine strategies for accelerating transformation, and integrate Biblical leadership values within the digital context. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature review, the paper finds that transformational leadership styles, distributed leadership, human resource digital competencies, innovation culture, technological infrastructure, and data-driven decision-making play crucial roles in enhancing digital leadership transformation. Moreover, values such as humility, wisdom, integrity, and love, as taught in the Bible, provide a strong moral foundation for leadership in the digital era. The study recommends capacity building for leaders, the development of learning communities, supportive policies, and the integration of ethical-spiritual values as key drivers for successful leadership transformation in education.

Protection of well-known trademarks is a crucial aspect of intellectual property systems, especially in the face of global trade dynamics and the development of digital technologies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal protection for owners of well-known trademarks from the perspective of court decisions in Indonesia. Using a qualitative method based on a normative juridical approach and case studies of court rulings (including the Hugo Boss and Superman cases), this research reveals that trademark protection in Indonesia remains reactive, dependent on litigation, and has not fully prevented the registration of confusingly similar trademarks by parties acting in bad faith. Moreover, the absence of objective standards for defining well-known trademarks and indicators of bad faith weakens legal certainty. On the other hand, courts have begun to show consistency in rejecting trademark registrations that violate the principles of well-known trademark protection, although this has yet to be supported by an adequate administrative system from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI). The study recommends the establishment of technical regulations, strengthening DJKI’s capacity, and integrating protection systems with international norms as strategic steps to reinforce legal protection for owners of well-known trademarks in Indonesia.

The development of digital technology has encouraged organisations to adopt big data analytics in human resource management (HRM), but there are still challenges in leveraging it for effective decision-making. This study aims to investigate the effect of big data utilisation on the quality of HR decision-making and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. A quantitative method with purposive sampling survey was conducted on 100-150 respondents from companies that have implemented big data-based management information systems and HR analytics. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software. The results showed that big data analytics significantly improved the quality of HR decision-making, with HR digital competencies and organisational culture as important mediating factors. However, challenges related to cultural resistance and limited expertise were found to affect the effectiveness of implementation. The practical implications of this research emphasise the importance of HR digital capacity building and ethical data governance to support the transformation of HRM into an adaptive strategic function in the digital era. This research also contributes to the development of data-driven management theory with a holistic approach that integrates technical, human, and ethical aspects.
