The phenomenon of homelessness and begging in public places remains a complex social problem and has an impact on public disclosure and legal norms. The main problem in this study is how the criminal law against homelessness and begging in public places, and how the calculation of its provisions in the old Criminal Code and the new Criminal Code based on Law Number 1 of 2023. This study uses a normative juridical method with a regulatory-statutory approach and literature study. In the old Criminal Code, the act of begging is regulated in Article 504 which threatens imprisonment for anyone who begs in public. Meanwhile, the new Criminal Code regulates similar acts in Article 425 which no longer uses the term "begging" explicitly, but regulates the prohibition against the repeated exploitation of certain activities in public places that disturb the community. The results of the study show that despite substantial continuity, the new Criminal Code tends to use a more humanistic approach and emphasizes social rehabilitation. Law enforcement against homelessness and begging still faces various obstacles such as low public reporting, limited supervision by officials, and minimal rehabilitation facilities. Therefore, the main conclusion of this study is that a repressive approach alone is insufficiently effective. An integrated legal strategy is needed, combining penal and non-penal approaches, with the active involvement of the government, the community, and social institutions.

The method used in this research is a literature review with a qualitative approach, analyzing the relevant verses as well as classical and contemporary interpretations that serve as primary sources. The analysis of this article demonstrates that patience in seeking knowledge is a prerequisite for attaining true knowledge, functioning as an inner strength to overcome obstacles, maintain consistency in learning, and shape the character of a genuine learner who is not only intellectually intelligent but also spiritually mature. These findings are relevant to the integration of manners, ethics, and spirituality in contemporary Islamic education.

Participative leadership in dakwah institutions offers clear benefits. Literature indicates this style improves decision quality and spurs innovation, as members with relevant knowledge contribute creative solutions. It fosters an inclusive culture where stakeholders feel valued, responsible, and committed to collective decisions. Organizational effectiveness and efficiency rise with increased participation and member engagement. However, full implementation encounters practical challenges. In dakwah organizations with hierarchical traditions, resistance to power-sharing and trust deficits can cause conflict and decision delays. Limited leadership capacity and communication skills among members become obstacles if leaders are untrained in participative methods. Organizational theory thus recommends adaptive strategies: leaders should establish effective communication channels, empower teams, and implement context-specific leadership training programs. Case studies suggest these measures build a sustainable collaborative culture that supports innovation in dakwah programs. In summary, participative leadership, when combined with appropriate training and a supportive culture, can enhance effectiveness, foster creativity, and ensure organizational sustainability in religious outreach.

Slum areas in Pekanbaru City are being addressed by the local government, including the Meranti Pandak Sub-district. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Meranti Pandak Sub-district government in maintaining environmental cleanliness in slum areas and to identify the inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness (Case Study: Slum Area in Meranti Pandak Sub-district, Pekanbaru City). Environmental issues in this area are of major concern due to their impact on public health and quality of life. The study applies Duncan’s theory (as cited in Nurmalasari & Supriyadi, 2021), which highlights three indicators: goal achievement, integration, and adaptation. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the sub-district government's efforts have not been fully effective. This is evident from poorly targeted programs, unequal service distribution among residents, low community participation, and weak monitoring and evaluation by the local authorities. Additional obstacles include unresolved waste management issues, limited budget, and non-permanent building structures. To improve effectiveness, the study recommends more focused program planning, sustainable community empowerment, and enhanced cross-sectoral coordination.
