Verbal abuse is a form of non-physical violence that is often unrecognized but has a serious impact on adolescents' psychological and social development. This study aims to identify the forms of verbal abuse experienced by adolescents and the dynamics of social behavior that emerge as a result in the Kebagusan area, South Jakarta. The research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving ten adolescents who were victims of verbal abuse. The findings indicate that verbal abuse originates from parents and peers, leading to two main behavioral responses: under social behavior, which includes social withdrawal and anxiety; and over social behavior, which manifests as rebellion and aggressiveness. This study emphasizes the importance of awareness regarding the impact of verbal abuse and the need for social and educational interventions to support adolescents’ recovery and the strengthening of their social capacity.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder collaboration in the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program in Bunut District, Pelalawan Regency. The PTSL program as a government effort to provide legal certainty over land ownership requires cooperation from various stakeholders in its implementation. With a qualitative approach and case study design, this study uses the collaborative governance framework from Emerson et al. (2012) to analyze three main dimensions of collaboration: principled engagement, shared motivation, and capacity for joint action. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 27 informants, participant observation, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that multi-stakeholder collaboration in the implementation of PTSL in Bunut District shows varying effectiveness in various dimensions. In the principled engagement dimension, collaboration is quite effective in the aspects of discovery and definition, but is still limited in the aspects of deliberation and determination. In the shared motivation dimension, there are limitations in building mutual trust and understanding between the community and technical agencies. Meanwhile, in the capacity for joint action dimension, there are strengths in the aspects of procedural arrangements and leadership, but significant limitations in the aspects of knowledge and resources. Supporting factors for collaboration include political commitment, community awareness, the role of traditional leaders, effective communication platforms, and academic involvement. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in interests between stakeholders, limited technical capacity at the village level, communication and coordination problems, historical land complexity, and budget constraints. The study recommends strategies to increase the effectiveness of collaboration through strengthening multi-stakeholder forum institutions, developing technical capacity, increasing transparency and accountability, developing effective conflict resolution mechanisms, strengthening the role of village governments, and allocating adequate resources. The research findings contribute to the development of collaborative governance theory in the Indonesian context, especially in rural areas with unique socio-cultural characteristics.  

The Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Provision Program (PAMSIMAS) aims to increase access to clean water and proper sanitation in rural areas. However, the implementation of this program in several villages, including in Lubuk Ulak Village, Muara Pinang District, Empat Lawang Regency, still faces various challenges. This research aims to evaluate the PAMSIMAS development policy in the village, focusing on the effectiveness of implementation, the challenges faced, and its impact on the local community. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies related to the implementation of PAMSIMAS. The collected data was analyzed thematically to find patterns relevant to the research objectives. The results show that although PAMSIMAS has succeeded in providing clean water infrastructure, there are still problems in terms of water resource management, community participation, and facility sustainability. Lack of technical training for local managers and weak coordination between stakeholders led to the insustainability of programs at the village level. In conclusion, PAMSIMAS in Lubuk Ulak Village needs improvements in planning, community involvement, and institutional capacity strengthening. Further research is needed to explore the sustainability of the program and the active role of communities and governments in sustainable clean water management.

Industrialization has been a major driver in Indonesia’s transition from an agrarian to a modern economy.

The development of digital technology, particularly deepfake, has brought negative impacts, including the protection against non-consensual pornography content. Deepfake, which uses artificial intelligence to manipulate images, videos, or audio, allows the creation of pornography without the consent of the individual whose face or identity is manipulated. This phenomenon results in violations of privacy, honor, and the psychological well-being of the victims, while also spreading false information that can damage public perception. Although Indonesia has regulations such as Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and Law No. 44 of 2008 on Pornography, there are no specific provisions regulating the use of deepfake technology. This article identifies deficiencies in existing regulations and provides recommendations for adaptive legal measures, including legislative updates, strengthening digital platform responsibilities, enhancing law enforcement capacity, and international cooperation to address this threat. It is hoped that with these measures, protection for individuals in the digital era can be strengthened.

This study explores the role of Islamic education in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a library research approach.

Islamic educational institutions contribute to poverty alleviation, environmental awareness, and gender equality through curriculum content and practical programs rooted in Islamic values. However, challenges such as limited curriculum integration and lack of teacher capacity remain obstacles. Therefore, it is essential to enhance the curriculum, empower educators, and build partnerships between Islamic educational institutions and broader development stakeholders to ensure Islamic education becomes a significant agent in achieving the global goals.

Revitalization of traditional markets is a manifestation of the commitment of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia in efforts to improve the economy through development, empowerment, and then improving the quality of management in traditional markets as an effort to increase the competitiveness of traditional markets. The purpose of this study is to determine and examine the impact of the traditional market revitalization policy on Sukawati Market, because Sukawati Market is one of the markets with a high level of tourism productivity in Gianyar Regency. This study uses Qualitative methods, as well as the Policy Evaluation theory according to William N. Dunn (2003). This study found that the Evaluation of the Impact of the Sukawati Market Revitalization Policy has not achieved optimal results in all policy evaluation indicators, namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The suboptimal revitalization policy at Sukawati Market as an effort to increase competitiveness in order to improve the welfare of traders is influenced by several things, namely human resource capacity, changes in infrastructure, and changes in market function after revitalization. The recommendations in this study are increasing human resource capacity, dissemination of information and promotion, and improving market governance.

This study discusses Human Resources Education and Training at the Secretariat General of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI). The main issue faced by the Secretariat General of the DPD RI is that there are still employees who do not fully understand their respective fields. Therefore, a training program has been implemented to help employees enhance their knowledge and skills required for their duties. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of education and training programs for human resources within the Secretariat General of the DPD RI. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that employee understanding of one of the online-based training programs is still not optimal, indicating a need for improvements in content delivery or training methods. Nevertheless, the training targets are considered appropriate as they are directed at employees who require capacity enhancement. In terms of scheduling, the training program is considered to lack flexibility, which may interfere with the employees' daily work routines. Despite several challenges, the overall achievement of training objectives has had a positive impact on employee productivity. Real changes can be seen in the increased understanding and ability of employees to apply the knowledge gained to their tasks and responsibilities in each respective division. Thus, the education and training program is deemed to have made a significant contribution to the development of human resource competencies within the Secretariat General of the DPD RI.

Integrated public services in a one-stop service system, such as the one implemented at the Mal Pelayanan Publik (MPP) Badung, serve as an answer to the public's demand for efficient, fast, and transparent bureaucracy. However, in its implementation, MPP still faces various strategic challenges, such as fragmentation between agencies, limited human resources, and suboptimal digital system integration that supports cross-sector services. This study aims to analyze adaptive and collaborative managerial strategies to address these challenges and explore digital innovation opportunities to improve service quality. By using a literature review method from various journals, policy reports, and supporting documents, this study shows that the success of the one-stop service system greatly depends on visionary leadership, synergy between agencies, and adequate technological support. The discussion concludes that flexible, responsive managerial strategies that emphasize cross-agency collaboration can enhance efficiency and user satisfaction. Therefore, updating digital systems, involving the community, and improving human resource capacity are crucial steps in realizing modern and sustainable public services. Another key factor for success is the adoption of innovative digital technologies. By investing in digital infrastructure, MPP can automate many of its processes, reducing paperwork, speeding up response times, and ensuring better coordination between departments. The development of user-friendly platforms and mobile applications will also allow citizens to access services more easily, improving their satisfaction. Additionally, involving the community in the decision-making process through feedback and engagement mechanisms can help identify areas for improvement and tailor services to better meet the public's needs. To ensure long-term success, continuous capacity building for human resources is essential. Well-trained staff, equipped with the skills and knowledge to operate advanced systems, will be able to provide higher-quality services.

Along with the rapid and advanced development of the times, human thinking is also increasingly developing, including in terms of technology. Technological advances have brought great changes in human life. The rapid development of technology in Indonesia is accompanied by an increase in cybercrime, which poses a serious threat to national security and the country's economy.  The types of crimes include various illegal acts such as data theft, online fraud, hacking, and the spread of malware. This research aims to analyze the role of the government in tackling violent crime in Indonesia, by highlighting regulatory aspects, strengthening infrastructure, and cooperation with various parties. The results of the study show that the Indonesian government has made efforts to tackle cybercrime by implementing regulations such as the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law) and strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure. Cooperation with various parties and the community has also been carried out to increase digital literacy and strengthen the cyber defense system. However, challenges are still faced in terms of this crime, even though there is a strong legal foundation, it is necessary to strengthen law enforcement capacity, develop more comprehensive policies in data protection, and increase public awareness

The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) has increased the risk of cybercrime in Indonesia. Law enforcement against this crime faces various obstacles and challenges, both in terms of regulations, the capacity of law enforcement officials, and public awareness. This study aims to analyze the obstacles and challenges in law enforcement against violent crime in Indonesia and provide recommendations to improve its effectiveness. Through a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study uses primary data from interviews with law enforcement officials, academics, and cybersecurity practitioners, as well as secondary data from laws and regulations and related reports.
