Nature-based tourism development has a strategic role in encouraging sustainable local economic growth, especially in rural areas such as Marente Village, Kabupaten Sumbawa. Agal Waterfall is one of the natural tourism destinations that has high attractiveness, but its utilization is still not optimal due to limited facilities and infrastructure, access to the location, promotional activities, and the quality of human resources management. This study aims to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and determine priority strategies in developing Agal Waterfall tourism using the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) method. The research approach used is descriptive quantitative with primary data collected from 100 respondents. Analysis techniques include the preparation of IFAS, EFAS, SWOT, and QSPM matrices. The research findings show that the beauty of the natural environment and community participation are the main strengths, while the limited supporting facilities and promotion are still the dominant weaknesses. Development opportunities are supported by the increasing interest in nature tourism and the utilization of digital platforms, while threats come from competition between tourist destinations and the potential for environmental degradation. Based on the results of the analysis, priority strategies suggested include improving basic facilities, optimizing digital-based promotions, strengthening the capacity of human resource managers, and implementing the principles of sustainable tourism.

This study examines the integration of social activities and leadership values in shaping the character of students by the PIJAR Semarang Community as a form of community-based non-formal education. The background of this study stems from the increasing problems with student character, such as low empathy, responsibility, and self-confidence, as well as the increasing cases of violence and bullying in the educational environment. These conditions indicate that formal education has not been fully able to address the challenges of shaping student character. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research was conducted at the PIJAR Semarang Community by involving community managers, volunteers, and students as research subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation of activities, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the character-building process. The results of the study show that the PIJAR Semarang Community integrates social activities and leadership values through academic and non-academic learning programs that are designed to be contextual and participatory. Social activities such as play-based learning, social action, field trips, art performances, and leadership training are the main media for instilling character values. The character values developed include responsibility, cooperation, empathy, discipline, and self-confidence. Leadership values are instilled through habit formation, volunteer role models, providing opportunities for participation, and the active involvement of students in every activity. This study also found several obstacles in the form of differences in student character, limited resources, and low self-confidence among some students in leadership. To overcome these obstacles, the PIJAR Semarang Community implemented intensive mentoring, motivation building, and adjustments to activities to make them more inclusive. Overall, this study confirms that the integration of social activities and leadership values in community-based non-formal education plays an important role in the holistic and sustainable character building of students.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) disclosure on market reaction and firm value in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling, comprising 8 companies with observations over 5 years, resulting in a total of 40 annual reports. Data were collected through documentation of annual reports and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that governance disclosure, risk disclosure, and compliance disclosure simultaneously have a significant positive effect on market reaction, suggesting that higher levels of GRC disclosure can enhance positive investor responses. Meanwhile, only governance disclosure and risk disclosure have a significant positive effect on firm value, whereas compliance disclosure does not show a significant impact. These findings align with positive accounting theory, which states that managers strategically use information disclosure to influence investor perceptions, increase market confidence, and drive firm value growth. This study provides important implications for company management to improve the quality of GRC disclosure as a market communication strategy and for investors in assessing the performance and growth potential of firms.

This study investigates the determinants of dividend payout policy in energy sector firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Dividend policy is a critical issue in emerging markets, especially in capital-intensive industries with high investment needs and earnings volatility. The research examines whether profitability and ownership structure—specifically institutional and managerial ownership—significantly influence dividend payout decisions, considering firm characteristics. The study analyzes the effect of profitability, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership on the dividend payout ratio, while controlling for firm size and leverage. A quantitative approach is used, employing pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression on 245 firm-year observations. Dividend payout ratio is measured as dividend per share divided by earnings per share, profitability is proxied by return on equity, and ownership variables are expressed as shareholding proportions. Descriptive analysis and classical assumption tests precede hypothesis testing. The results show that profitability positively and significantly affects dividend payout, suggesting that firms with better financial performance tend to distribute higher dividends. Firm size also positively influences dividend policy, while leverage negatively impacts it, reflecting the role of financial capacity and capital structure. However, institutional and managerial ownership do not show significant effects on dividend payout decisions. The findings indicate that dividend policy in Indonesian energy firms is primarily driven by financial performance and structural characteristics rather than ownership-based governance mechanisms. This study offers sector-specific evidence that refines agency and signaling perspectives on dividend policy in emerging markets, with practical implications for managers, investors, and regulators.

Leadership training has become a key instrument in public sector reform, driven by expectations that public managers act as strategic leaders to improve organizational performance and public service delivery. However, despite substantial investments, public administration research consistently highlights a gap between leadership training participation and tangible service improvements, particularly in resource-constrained local governments. Existing studies often examine leadership training effectiveness, training transfer, organizational change, and administrative capacity separately, resulting in limited integration across these interconnected processes. This fragmentation restricts understanding of how leadership competencies gained through training are transferred into practice, institutionalized through post-training change initiatives (Aksi Perubahan), and translated into sustainable administrative capacity and service outcomes. To address this gap, this integrative literature review synthesizes and critically analyzes peer-reviewed research on public sector leadership training, focusing on training transfer mechanisms, action-based change initiatives, and administrative capacity development in local governments, using the Tambrauw Regency Government as an illustrative context. The review draws on articles indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar published between 2016 and 2025, selected based on public sector relevance and theoretical rigor. Using thematic synthesis and conceptual mapping, the findings show that leadership training contributes to service improvement only when supported by a conducive transfer climate, strong organizational commitment, and structured change projects. These change initiatives mediate the transformation of individual competencies into organizational routines, while administrative capacity determines the sustainability of outcomes. The study contributes to administrative capacity theory and provides practical insights for designing effective leadership training policies in peripheral local government contexts.

This research looks into how site managers in construction projects in Malang City manage and improve their use of human resources. The research is driven by the significance of effective human resource management in ensuring project success and the lack of studies focusing on the operational strategies of site managers within a local context. This study uses a quantitative method that is both descriptive and analytical. It involves giving out a survey to 40 people, including site managers, contractors, and foremen. The independent variables include leadership and supervisory style, human resource planning and workforce allocation, training and competency development, team communication and coordination, performance monitoring and evaluation, as well as motivation and welfare. The dependent variable is the degree to which human resource management is optimized. The results of validity and reliability tests indicate that all research instruments are valid and reliable. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that leadership and supervisory style, along with human resource planning and workforce allocation, have a significant partial effect on improving HRM practices. Other variables have a positive but statistically insignificant partial effect on the estate. Overall, the management of human resources in construction projects in Malang City is considered to be fairly good. This study confirms that leadership and workforce planning are the main strategic factors for site managers in improving the effectiveness of human resource management in construction projects.

Floods and landslides in Hutanabolon Village, Tukka District, Central Tapanuli Regency have disrupted access to food and health services, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children. Public kitchens, as the frontline of emergency nutrition response, face challenges in providing food that meets the specific nutritional needs of children. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public kitchens at Disaster Emergency Response Posts (TDB) in meeting the nutritional needs of post-disaster children, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate recommendations for improving the public kitchen management system. The research employed a descriptive evaluative approach using survey methods, structured interviews, direct observation, 24-hour dietary recall, and anthropometric measurements (weight and height). The study subjects included 15 children aged 1–12 years and 8 public kitchen managers selected purposively. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing nutritional intake against the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) standards and analyzing kitchen management practices based on emergency nutrition guidelines. The findings revealed that children's average energy intake was only 1,140 kcal/day (below the minimum standard of 1,200–2,000 kcal/day) and protein intake was 18.7 g/day (below the standard of 20–35 g/day). A total of 33.3% of children were classified as having malnutrition to severe malnutrition based on weight-for-age indicators. Public kitchen management showed weaknesses in menu planning (100% had no child-specific menu), managers' nutritional knowledge (62.5% categorized as low), food availability (75% relied on instant aid without variation), and limited cross-sectoral coordination (50%). The effectiveness of public kitchens in meeting children's nutritional needs after disasters remains low.

The methods used included material delivery, interactive discussions, and case studies tailored to the museum's conditions and needs. Furthermore, this activity emphasized a family-like and contextual approach to ensure the material was easily understood and applied by participants. The activity took place on September 9-10, 2025, with 18 participants. The expected outcome of this activity is an increased understanding of museum managers in social media, human resource management, and financial management, so that the Rambu Solo Ne' Gandeng Cultural Museum can be managed in a more organized, transparent, and sustainable manner as an institution for preserving Torajan culture.

This study aims to elaborate on the mechanism of product design, word of mouth (WOM), price perception, and product quality on purchase decisions, with brand image serving as a mediating variable. The research focuses on consumers of Ogel-Ogel, a traditional snack product from Pemalang. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive method, data were gathered from 100 respondents through purposive and accidental sampling techniques. Data analysis employed path analysis and the Sobel test to measure the strength of the mediation effect. The results reveal that, partially, all independent variables and brand image exert a positive and significant influence on purchase decisions. The most crucial finding indicates that brand image acts as an effective mediating bridge, reinforcing the transformation of physical product attributes and social recommendations into actual purchasing actions. This underscores that for MSMEs in the culinary sector, visual uniqueness and quality are insufficient without consistent brand reputation management. This research provides strategic contributions for local product managers in integrating traditional marketing elements with brand equity strengthening to navigate an increasingly competitive market.

Manual management of sports field bookings is still widely practiced and often leads to scheduling conflicts, data recording errors, and low service efficiency.

The research employed a system design and development method using an object-oriented programming (OOP) approach. Data were collected through direct observation of the booking process, interviews with field managers, and documentation of system requirements. The application was developed using the Python programming language with the PyQt5 framework for the graphical user interface and MySQL as the database management system. The results showed that the developed application is capable of managing field data, schedules, bookings, and user information in an integrated manner while reducing recording errors and minimizing scheduling conflicts. The application of OOP resulted in a modular, well-organized, and maintainable system structure. This application is expected to improve the efficiency and accuracy of sports field booking management and provide a practical solution for implementing a computerized booking system.

The Tapal Kuda Air Salobar Food Court is one of the culinary areas that plays an important role in supporting tourism and social activities in Ambon City. This area offers a variety of local culinary specialties from Maluku which are an attraction for the community and tourists. However, the increase in the number of visitors and the activities of traders have not been fully balanced by the conditions of adequate spatial planning, facilities, and area management systems. This study aims to analyze the existing condition of the Tapal Kuda Air Salobar Food Court from the aspects of spatial planning, waste management, supporting facilities, as well as the potential and challenges of its development as a culinary tourism destination. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of field observations and in-depth interviews with key informants, namely area managers, traders, and visitors. The data obtained are analyzed thematically to identify the main problems and potential development of the area. The results of the study indicate that the spatial planning of the Tapal Kuda Air Salobar Food Court has not been able to accommodate the increase in visitor and trader activities due to the lack of clear zoning, limited circulation routes, and spatial planning that develops without integrated planning. Furthermore, waste management in this area is not yet systematic and sustainable, as evidenced by limited trash bins, a lack of waste sorting, and poorly scheduled waste collection. Limited supporting facilities, such as seating and sanitation facilities, also impact the comfort and quality of the visitor experience, especially during peak visitor periods. Nevertheless, the Tapal Kuda Air Salobar Food Court has significant potential as a culinary tourism destination based on local cuisine and a social space, which can be developed through spatial planning, facility improvements, and more integrated area management. This study concludes that the revitalization of the Tapal Kuda Air Salobar Food Court requires a comprehensive approach, emphasizing spatial planning improvements, strengthening waste management, and enhancing the quality of facilities and area management to support the sustainability of culinary tourism and the quality of public spaces in Ambon City.

This study aims to identify and describe the values of Islamic education embedded in the art of Rampak Barongan Dance performed by the Krido Turonggo Mudo Art Studio in Koya Barat Subdistrict, Jayapura City, as well as to analyze this artistic practice as a medium for character education and cultural da’wah within the community.

These values are reflected in prayers before performances, the use of modest attire in accordance with Islamic sharia, sincerity in performance, social ethics, solidarity, and teamwork. The practice of training and performing the dance serves as a means of cultivating discipline, responsibility, respect for time, and functions as an effective medium of cultural da’wah by integrating artistic aesthetics with Islamic moral messages.

Financial purity is a fundamental principle in Islamic economics that emphasizes the management of assets in a halal, fair, and responsible manner in accordance with sharia provisions. In the context of Islamic financial institutions, zakat plays a strategic role as an instrument for the purification of assets (tazkiyat al-mal) and as a mechanism for wealth redistribution to achieve social justice. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in maintaining the financial purity of Islamic financial institutions. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to managers and related parties in Islamic financial institutions that have zakat management programs. The research variables include zakat management as the independent variable and financial purity as the dependent variable, which were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of this study indicate that zakat management has a positive and significant impact on the financial sanctity of Islamic financial institutions, primarily through increased sharia compliance, transparency, and institutional accountability. This finding confirms that zakat serves not only as an obligatory act of worship but also as a strategic instrument in strengthening the ethics, legitimacy, and social responsibility of Islamic financial institutions. This research is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of sustainable zakat governance in the Islamic financial system.

In the rapidly evolving digital economy, the ability to anticipate transaction surges is a strategic asset for marketplace platforms to maintain operational efficiency. This research aims to build an accurate daily transaction volume forecasting system thru the implementation of an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) pipeline and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) predictive modeling. The dataset used is sourced from dataset_olshop.csv, which includes transaction history for the entire year of 2025. The ETL stage focused on data cleaning and handling missing values, while time series analysis began with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) stationarity test, which yielded a significant p-value of 0.000006. The parameter model was optimized using the auto_arima algorithm, which determined the ARIMA(2,0,0) configuration as the best model. The evaluation results of the model show fairly stable performance with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) value of 2.002 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.704 on the test data. Research findings reveal a consistently higher purchasing pattern during the mid-month and end-of-month periods, with an average of 5.52 daily transactions, compared to the beginning of the month, which saw 5.48 transactions. The 30-day forecast results provide valuable insights for online store managers to proactively adjust inventory and logistics workforce allocation strategies. This research concludes that integrating data engineering techniques and statistical analysis can provide predictive solutions for the dynamics of the digital market.

This study investigates the optimization of claims under the Indonesian Case-Based Groups (INA-CBGs) payment mechanism within the National Health Insurance Program (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional) at Hospital X in Serang. The research aims to analyze the influence of managerial competence, digital adoption, and organizational behavior on claim effectiveness, with policy implementation serving as a moderating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 144 respondents comprising management staff, casemix teams, and medical record officers through questionnaires and structured interviews. Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) was applied to examine the relationships among variables. Findings reveal that managerial competence, digital adoption, and organizational behavior significantly and positively affect the optimization of INA-CBGs claims. Furthermore, the implementation of the National Health Insurance Program policy strengthens these relationships, enhancing claim efficiency and equity. The results align with the Resource-Based View theory, highlighting the strategic role of internal resources in achieving organizational performance.

Overall, the study underscores the importance of managerial, technological, and behavioral factors, moderated by policy implementation, in improving hospital claim optimization under the INA-CBGs system.

This research is based on the problem of declining morals of third-grade students at SD IT Baitul Muslim, which has implications for daily behavior, particularly in Pancasila Education learning. Students tend to exhibit attitudes that are inconsistent with positive character values, such as a lack of tolerance and a low sense of love for the homeland. The purpose of this study is to identify the significant influence of educators' roles in shaping the character of third-grade elementary school students in Pancasila Education subjects. The method used is an ex post facto method with a quantitative approach and a purposive sampling design. The study population consisted of 10 educators and 95 students, with a sample of 10 educators and 40 students from two selected classes. Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires and documentation that had been tested for validity using Aiken's V and reliability with Cronbach Alpha. Hypothesis testing using simple linear regression analysis showed a significance value of 0.044 which is smaller than 0.05 and a calculated F value of 5.692 which is greater than the F table of 2.27. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. The research findings confirm the significant influence of educators, particularly as demonstrators, classroom managers, facilitators, and evaluators, in shaping students' character in Pancasila Education. The implication of these findings is that educators need to optimize role models to improve students' character development.

Second, the implementation stage involves socialization and direct practice in the form of training on the use of website-based applications, starting from recording daily transactions to creating more structured financial reports. This activity is motivated by the importance of transparent, accountable, and efficient financial governance in religious institutions, particularly Rumah Tahfidz. Through this training, managers and administrative staff will be trained to create a digital financial reporting system using a web-based platform that is easy to access and use. The expected results of this activity are the realization of a transparent and efficient web-based financial reporting system, increased digital competence of Rumah Tahfidz managers, and growing awareness of the importance of digitalization in the management of religious institutions. The transaction recording process becomes more structured, efficient, and can be done in real time, thus enabling more accurate and up-to-date financial monitoring.

This study, entitled "Analysis of the Application of Sharia Economic Principles in Nuris Medika Fund Management," aims to analyze the extent to which Sharia economic principles are applied in the fund management system at the Nuris Medika healthcare institution. Sharia economic principles emphasize justice, transparency, mutual assistance (ta'awun), and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (gharar), and maysir (gambling). This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of managers and related parties at Nuris Medika. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results indicate that fund management at Nuris Medika largely adheres to Islamic economic principles, particularly in terms of transparency in fund use, social responsibility, and the implementation of an interest-free system in internal financial transactions. However, several aspects still need to be strengthened, such as the development of more systematic Sharia-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) and increasing Sharia economic literacy among all institution managers. Overall, the implementation of Islamic economic principles at Nuris Medika can be categorized as good and has the potential to become a model for financial management in Islamic boarding school-based healthcare institutions based on Islamic values.

Traditional markets are an important component of the people’s economy and play a strategic role in supporting trading activities and community social life. The Government of Muaro Jambi Regency implemented a policy to relocate the Sengeti People’s Market to reorganize and improve the quality of trading facilities so they become more orderly, feasible, and representative. However, after relocation, market utilization has not functioned optimally, and various management problems persist. This study aims to analyze traditional market governance after relocation in Muaro Jambi Regency, using the Sengeti People’s Market as a case study. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving informants from the Trade Division of the Office of Cooperatives, SMEs, Industry, and Trade, as well as market managers, traders, and community members. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that post-relocation governance has not been optimally implemented. Key issues include weak policy communication, mismatches between facilities and traders’ needs, limited trader participation, and poor coordination among relevant agencies. The study highlights that successful market relocation depends not only on physical development but also on participatory, transparent, and sustainable governance, supported by stronger institutional coordination, increased trader involvement, and continuous evaluation.

Improving the quality of Islamic boarding school education is essential to meet the demands of modern times and global competition. These institutions are expected not only to produce academically capable students but also those with strong character, noble morals, and spirituality. A key factor influencing the quality of Islamic boarding school education is the organizational commitment of human resources, particularly educators and educational staff. This study examines the role of human resource commitment in enhancing the quality of Islamic boarding school education, using a library research method by reviewing books, journals, and previous studies on organizational commitment and education quality. The findings highlight that organizational commitment, expressed through affective, normative, and sustained commitment, significantly impacts education quality. These dimensions encourage educators and staff to work professionally and responsibly, focusing on quality in both learning and management. Additionally, pesantren leadership and an organizational culture rooted in Islamic values further strengthen this commitment, leading to a positive and sustainable impact on education quality. The study concludes that fostering strong organizational commitment is crucial for improving pesantren education, urging managers to prioritize human resource development through effective management, visionary leadership, and a conducive organizational culture.
