This study aims to determine service centers along the East Coast Corridor of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency using two analytical approaches: facility service index analysis and rank-size rule analysis. Perroux's growth center theory (1950) is applied to understand how districts with higher facilities and populations can stimulate surrounding economic growth. The facility service index analysis identifies the availability and distribution of public facilities in each district, while the rank-size rule maps population distribution to pinpoint potential service centers. The results show that Air Sugihan District holds potential as the primary service center due to its facilities, while Tulung Selapan District is designated as a settlement center given its largest population. With a balanced development strategy, it is expected that this can create equitable service access, foster economic growth, and strengthen the socioeconomic resilience of communities in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of digitalization on Islamic accounting in Indonesia, as well as the opportunities and challenges for the Islamic accounting profession. Digital transformation includes the application of these innovations such as financial technology (fintech), blockchain, and artificial intelligence in the context of Islamic finance. This article discusses the opportunities and challenges faced by Islamic financial institutions in implementing Islamic accounting in the digital era. On the one hand, digitalization opens up opportunities to increase efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in Islamic financial reports, as well as expand public access to Islamic-based financial products. On the other hand, challenges related to the complexity of integrating digital systems that comply with Islamic principles, data security, and effective supervision are still important issues. The results of this study indicate that digitalization has a significant influence on the growth of Islamic-based accounting, especially in Indonesia.  

Since 2017, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency has been tasked by President Joko Widodo to complete land registration across Indonesia by 2025 through the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program (PTSL). Based on Ministerial Regulation ATR/BPN Number 12 of 2017, updated with Number 6 of 2018, this program aims to provide legal certainty and protection of land rights for the community. However, many people, especially in North Gorontalo Regency, still do not understand how to obtain land certificates due to a lack of information and education about PTSL. This research aims to explore government policies that provide land ownership certificates as legal protection for the community. Better coordination is needed between local governments and the Ministry of ATR/BPN to raise public awareness of the importance of land certificates, which not only guarantee ownership but can also be utilized as business capital. The PTSL program is expected to improve community welfare and reduce land disputes. Research findings indicate that public understanding in North Gorontalo Regency remains low, with obstacles such as a lack of information, complicated procedures, and limited access. Government policies need to include regulatory simplification and increased transparency as well as public services.

Indonesia's constitutional reform since 1998 has brought significant changes to the governance system, legal framework, and the protection of civil rights. This study analyzes the impact of the reform on civil rights protection, focusing on the legal and policy dynamics in the post-reform period. Key changes include the amendments to the 1945 Constitution, decentralization of power, and the strengthening of state institutions such as the Constitutional Court. While the legal framework for human rights has been reinforced, challenges persist, including the harmonization of regional and national regulations and corruption, which undermines public access to basic rights such as healthcare, education, and justice. Decentralization often produces discriminatory policies against religious, ethnic, and sexual minorities, while past human rights violations and identity politics exacerbate social tensions. This study employs a normative method with historical and juridical approaches. To enhance civil rights protection, improved oversight of regional regulations, the abolition of discriminatory policies, anti-corruption measures, and transitional justice mechanisms for addressing past human rights violations are essential. Strengthening civil society and judicial reform are also critical steps toward achieving more effective and equitable civil rights protection.

This research explores the role of the Constitutional Court (MK) in protecting citizenship rights in Indonesia. As a constitutional judicial body, the MK holds a crucial responsibility to review laws against the 1945 Constitution (UUD 1945), ensuring that fundamental rights of citizens, such as freedom of expression, the right to education, and the right to privacy, are not violated by existing legal policies. Through the mechanism of judicial review, the MK acts as a primary guardian capable of annulling laws that are in conflict with the constitution. This study examines various significant cases where the MK has played a critical role in safeguarding citizenship rights. We also identify various challenges faced by the MK, including issues in implementing rulings and potential political pressures that may affect the independence of this institution. From a global perspective, this research compares the role of the MK with constitutional bodies in other countries to provide a broader understanding of how the MK functions in an international context. The research employs doctrinal legal research, which is a process of discovering rules, principles, and doctrines to address the issues at hand. The research is prescriptive in nature. The methodology used is normative/doctrinal/library research. The findings indicate that although the MK has successfully protected citizens' rights through significant rulings, there remains an urgent need to improve the implementation of decisions and to safeguard the institution’s independence. Recommendations for enhancing the MK’s role include expanding legal education to the public, strengthening public access to judicial review mechanisms, and fostering closer collaboration with legal academics and practitioners. With these measures, the MK is expected to continue functioning effectively as a guardian of constitutional rights in Indonesia.
