This research aims to analyze the quality of electronic services (E-Service Quality) on user satisfaction of the DANA digital wallet application in the West Jakarta area. The evolution of financial technology (fintech) in Indonesia has encouraged rapid growth in the use of digital wallets, including DANA which is recorded to have more than 200 million users by 2024. However, this rapid growth is still marred by a number of user complaints regarding system reliability, service response speed and transaction security. Therefore, this study is important to evaluate how much e-service quality dimensions influence user satisfaction levels. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an associative type of research. Data was collected through questionnaires from 100 respondents who were active users of the DANA application in the West Jakarta area using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software through validity tests, reliability tests, and simple linear regression analysis. The research results show that E-Service Quality has a positive and significant effect on user satisfaction of the DANA application with a coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.907, which means that 90.7% of the variation in user satisfaction can be explained by the E-Service Quality variable, while the remaining 9.3% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The results of the significance test (t test) show a significance value (Sig. < 0.05) which indicates that the influence of E-Service Quality on user satisfaction has been proven to be statistically significant. The results of this study are expected to serve as evaluation material for DANA application managers in improving the quality of digital services, particularly in terms of efficiency, system reliability, security, and user responsiveness. Furthermore, this research is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of studies in the field of information systems and digital service management.

The rapid advancement of digital technology demands a transformation in public communication to effectively engage Generation Z as digital natives. Through the Instagram account @swargaloka.sby, the Surabaya City Population and Civil Registration Department aims to drive e-KTP (electronic ID card) registration. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines digital communication strategies based on the framework of Chaniago and Majid (2024), which encompasses five key aspects: creativity, visual quality, audience alignment, posting consistency, and responsiveness. The analysis reveals that while appealing visuals and communicative language have successfully built audience engagement, actual participation in e-KTP registration remains suboptimal. This is attributed to a relevance gap between population administration issues and the daily lives of young people. The effectiveness of digital communication in driving tangible action depends on the account managers' ability to deliver more persuasive and personally relevant messaging to ensure a sustainable increase in administrative awareness in the digital era.

Information technology (IT) infrastructure planning plays a strategic role in supporting organizational performance and achieving business objectives. However, many organizations experience misalignment between IT infrastructure planning and organizational needs, leading to inefficiencies, limited system integration, and suboptimal utilization of IT investments (Maulana, 2024; Njanka et al., 2025). This study aims to analyze the suitability of IT infrastructure planning with organizational needs using a quantitative approach. The research framework integrates the Strategic Alignment Model (SAM), Strategic Alignment Maturity Model (SAMM), and COBIT 2019 governance principles. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to IT managers and system users. A total of 85 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and gap analysis. The results indicate that IT infrastructure planning is moderately aligned with organizational needs, particularly in supporting operational activities. Nevertheless, significant gaps were identified in system integration, scalability, and long-term infrastructure planning. These findings highlight the importance of continuous evaluation and governance-based IT planning to enhance alignment and ensure sustainable organizational performance.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia's economy with a contribution of more than 60 percent to the Gross Domestic Product and the absorption of 97 percent of the national workforce, but their participation in international trade is still low with only 14 percent involved in export activities. This research aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by MSMEs in accessing the global market and identify adaptation strategies developed by entrepreneurs. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was applied through in-depth interviews with 18 export-oriented MSME owners and managers in East Java who were selected by purposive sampling. Thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti revealed seven main challenges including limited access to capital, complexity of export regulations, constraints on production capacity and quality consistency, language and cross-cultural communication barriers, lack of international market information, logistics infrastructure problems, and intensive competition. On the other hand, four strategic opportunities were identified, namely increasing demand for sustainable authentic products, accelerating digitalization and e-commerce, utilizing free trade agreements, and ethical consumerism trends. MSMEs develop effective adaptation strategies in the form of strategic collaboration, product differentiation with  premium positioning, the use of digital technology, and a focus on  specific market niches. The research emphasizes that the successful internationalization of MSMEs requires a holistic approach integrating internal capacity building with the support of a conducive external ecosystem.

The global tourism industry is experiencing significant growth with a contribution of USD 11.1 trillion to the world's GDP by 2024. Maluku Province has extraordinary natural tourism potential, one of which is the Waai Tree House in Central Maluku Regency which offers a glamorous camping (glamping) concept with the natural beauty of the mountains. Despite having natural advantages, this tourist attraction faces problems of damaged access roads, lack of supporting facilities, and not optimal promotional strategies. This research aims to identify strategic factors through SWOT analysis and formulate effective development strategies to increase the competitiveness of Waai Tree House tourism in a sustainable manner. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with managers and visitors, visual documentation, and literature studies. The data is analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, then formulated into four development strategies. The results show the main strengths in the form of natural beauty, unique glamping concepts, and personal service, while the critical weaknesses are damaged road infrastructure and limited facilities. Opportunities include digital promotion and collaboration with governments, while threats include limited accessibility and competition for new destinations. The strategy formulation resulted in four approaches: SO (intensive digital promotion), WO (priority infrastructure improvement), ST (service differentiation), and WT (consistent facility updates) strategy. The implementation of the WO strategy is a top priority with a gradual roadmap of 6-24 months. This research contributes to a contextual strategic framework for the development of glamping tourism in the remote archipelago of Eastern Indonesia.

Surveillance for diarrhea at the district level in Indonesia is still affected by the fragmented nature of the District Health Information System (DHIS) and Early Warning and Response System (EWARS), inconsistent reporting, patchy data interoperability, and the resulting public health delays. Although there are systems in place like the DHIS and EWARS, the persistent use of hybrid systems that combine manual and digital data entry, as well as the different skill levels of users, continues to produce issues of incompleteness, untimely reporting, and inaccurate data. The present study investigated the deficiencies in surveillance reporting of diarrhea cases, the surveillance data to determine the degree of integration and also investigated the health workers perceptions of the barriers to effective reporting. A mixed methods approach was adopted in this study where we investigated quantitatively the DHIS and routine diarrhea reports submitted for the entire year of 2023, and combined that with qualitative, in-depth interviews with the relevant surveillance officers, program managers, and district staff. The quantitative analysis indicated gaps in reporting about 55% in terms of completeness, and consistency of reporting and also significant differences were found between the manual register, DHIS, and EWARS whereby the integration of these systems was found to be low. The qualitative analysis pointed to the combination of disconnected workflows, limited cross-system interoperability, inadequate system training, excessive workloads, and weak organizational feedback, as the main barriers to effective reporting. The combination of these two datasets illustrates the fact that both system deficiencies and organizational factors are primary drivers of the reporting. Closing the gaps will require system level changes in the interoperability of reporting systems, simplified reporting workflows, training, reporting, and reporting feedback loops.

This study aims to analyze how work skills and work flexibility affect work productivity through job satisfaction as an intervention variable among Gojek partners in the Malang City area. This study uses a quantitative methodology with a causality design. Using simple random sampling, questionnaires were sent to 120 selected Gojek partners to obtain initial data. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. This was done using the SPSS program. The results of the study indicate that work skills and work flexibility positively and significantly affect the productivity of Gojek partners. In addition, job skills and work flexibility also have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is also proven to have a positive and significant effect on work productivity, and also functions as a mediating variable in the relationship between job skills and work flexibility and work productivity. The results show that job satisfaction can increase with job skills and a more flexible work environment. Ultimately, this will have an impact on increasing the productivity of Gojek partners. It is hoped that this research will help digital platform managers create more flexible and sustainable HR management strategies.

This study aims to determine the influence of price, product quality, and service quality on customer satisfaction at Salon Natayu. The approach used was quantitative, with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to Salon Natayu customers, with a total of 53 respondents (using census techniques). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS version 20. The results of the study show that the three independent variables (price, product quality, and service quality) simultaneously have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. However, partially, the price variable has the most dominant influence on customer satisfaction. The conclusion of this study shows that price is the most influential factor on customer satisfaction, followed by service quality, while product quality has the least influence. These findings indicate that a competitive pricing strategy is a crucial aspect for Salon Natayu in maintaining and improving customer satisfaction. In addition, continuous improvement of service quality is also necessary to create a better customer experience. This research is expected to be a reference for salon managers in formulating more effective marketing strategies as well as for future research that examines the factors that affect customer satisfaction in the beauty services industry.

The Great Mosque of Banten is a historical heritage that reflects cultural acculturation and the glory of Islam in the Indonesian archipelago. This study aims to analyze the forms of collaboration between the government, local communities, and site managers in preserving the Great Mosque of Banten using the Collaborative Governance theory by Ansell and Gash (2007). A descriptive qualitative approach was applied through interviews, field observations, and document studies conducted in the Great Mosque area. The findings reveal that collaboration among stakeholders has not yet reached optimal levels due to limited communication, trust gaps, and conflicting interests. Nevertheless, functional cooperation has emerged through joint activities in sanitation, security, and tour guide training. Based on the five indicators of the collaborative process, direct communication (face to face dialogue) and trust building remain major challenges, while shared understanding between government agencies, the foundation, and the community has begun to develop. This study highlights the importance of sustainable collaborative governance in preserving the religious, historical, and social values of the Great Mosque of Banten while supporting the welfare of the surrounding community.
