This study aims to analyze how negative and positive externalities influence the effectiveness of public economic policies at the regional level. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive-analytical method, the research was conducted in Tanjungpinang City through document studies, focus group discussions (FGDs), and content analysis of policy documents and scholarly literature. The findings reveal that negative externalities such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and industrial waste have not been optimally addressed due to weak regulation and limited policy evaluation. Conversely, positive externalities like the development of green open spaces and the provision of public education lack adequate fiscal support. Public policy interventions are predominantly disincentive-based, such as taxation and sanctions, while mechanisms to incentivize socially beneficial activities remain limited. These findings are examined through the lenses of Pigouvian Tax and Coase Theorem, emphasizing the need for evidence-based policies that internalize externalities fairly and efficiently. The study recommends improving regulatory frameworks, implementing strategic fiscal incentives, and enhancing public literacy in externality management.

This research aims to develop a pop-up book-based learning media to introduce local wisdom of Indonesian culture to the younger generation. Local wisdom, as an inheritance of knowledge and values from our ancestors, is a national identity that is increasingly poorly understood by the current generation. Therefore, an interesting, creative, and interactive learning media innovation is needed. Pop-up books were chosen because of their ability to present material visually, lively, and allow students to interact directly with the learning content. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The process starts from needs analysis, book design development, prototyping, to trials for grade XI students of SMK. The research instruments included validation questionnaires from material experts, media experts, teacher and student responses, and material comprehension tests. The validation results showed scores of 82.8% (material experts), 78.3% (media experts), and 75.5% (potential user responses), which overall fell into the very feasible category. The findings of the study show that pop-up book media is effective in increasing students' understanding of local wisdom in the context of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. In addition, this research contributes to the preservation of local culture through educational media innovation. This pop-up book media is expected to be an interesting, interactive, and relevant learning solution for students in understanding the diversity of Indonesian culture.

Employee performance represents the ability to fulfill tasks and responsibilities according to organizational standards. At UPTD Puskesmas Kosambi, the evaluation of Non-Civil Servant (Non-ASN) healthcare workers is still done manually and tends to be subjective, primarily based on attendance. This study aims to address the issue by developing a decision support system using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method. A descriptive-applied approach and the waterfall development model were employed. Five evaluation criteria were used: attendance (25%), service quality (35%), report timeliness (20%), patient complaints (10%), and lateness (10%). Data from 20 Non-ASN healthcare workers in April 2025 were analyzed, with Anis Julianti achieving the highest MOORA score of 0.3839. The system underwent validation through black-box testing and user acceptance testing (UAT), both confirming its accuracy and usability. The findings were compared with previous studies. Harningsih et al. (2024) used the MOORA method for promotion evaluations at the North Sumatra Provincial Inspectorate Office and recorded a top score of 0.3616. Dewi Yohana br Ginting et al. (2024) applied the method at a beauty clinic and found a top score of 0.3747. These comparisons indicate that the MOORA results in this study fall within a consistent and valid range. The developed decision support system is expected to enhance the objectivity, transparency, and accountability of performance evaluations for Non-ASN employees in primary healthcare services, offering a more comprehensive alternative to manual assessment methods.
