Family resilience in Indonesia faces multidimensional pressures reflected in increasing divorce rates, violence against children, and youth involvement in drug abuse and promiscuity. Bukittinggi City, despite having strong cultural traditions based on local wisdom and religious values, has also experienced an increase in divorce cases and domestic violence. In response, the Bukittinggi City Government launched the Family School Program aimed at strengthening the eight functions of the family: religious, cultural, affection, protection, reproductive, educational, economic, and environmental. This study aims to analyze the best practices of this program using five UN-Habitat indicators: impact, partnership, sustainability, leadership, and transferability. The research method used is qualitative exploratory with data collection through in-depth interviews with informants consisting of alumni, active participants, program managers, and sub-district coordinators, as well as participatory observation and documentation. The results show that the program successfully improved emotional control, family communication, and child-rearing patterns significantly. Multi-stakeholder partnerships with technical agencies, religious institutions, and academics are strong, but the private sector has not yet been involved. Program sustainability is supported by the Mayor's Decree and alumni enthusiasm, but funding remains vulnerable as it is entirely dependent on the local budget. Leadership is distributive from the political level to the community level, but is female-dominated with very low male participation. The program has high replication potential and has attracted many regions for comparative studies. In conclusion, this program falls into the category of good practice approaching best practice, but requires strengthening economic impact, diversifying funding, and increasing male participation.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of good governance principles in inclusive public services in Candisari District, Semarang City. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Research informants consisted of sub-district officials and community service users, including vulnerable groups. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of good governance principles in Candisari District has begun, but has not been running optimally. The principle of transparency has been attempted through the provision of service information and the use of digital media, but accessibility of information for vulnerable groups is still limited. The principle of accountability has not been fully realized, as indicated by the less than optimal performance of the Women and Children Protection Task Force (Satgas PPA) in carrying out its duties and the less than optimal inclusive public complaint mechanism. From the aspect of participation, community involvement, especially vulnerable groups, in the planning and decision-making process is still limited and unstructured. In addition, legal certainty and regional security stability are relatively conducive, but still require institutional strengthening and synergy between stakeholders. This study concludes that the implementation of good governance in Candisari District still faces institutional, participation, and service accessibility constraints, so a strategy is needed to strengthen governance to realize inclusive and sustainable public services.

The swift advancement of information technology has greatly influenced society, while also raising the threat of cybercrime. These offenses encompass the theft of social media accounts, unauthorized access to online information, and breaches of personal data security. This research intends to explore various types of cybercrime in Indonesia, the legal measures in place, and the obstacles law enforcement encounters when proving cybercrime incidents. The study adopts a qualitative method by reviewing literature, which includes laws, court rulings, academic articles, and reports from pertinent organizations. The findings reveal that even though laws like the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the Personal Data Protection Law establish a legal framework, there are still issues related to digital evidence, coordination between agencies, and the public's understanding of data security. Consequently, there is a need for a more thorough law enforcement approach, enhanced digital education, and collaborative efforts among the government, law enforcement agencies, and the community to effectively combat and manage cybercrime.

Geographical Indications (GI) are a strategic form of intellectual property protection that can enhance the economic value of local products and preserve regional identity. In Jayapura Regency, Papua, various superior local products possess unique characteristics and cultural value, yet many remain unregistered and legally unprotected under Indonesia’s intellectual property framework. This study aims to analyze the legal protection of Geographical Indications for Papua’s superior local products and examine their potential contribution to improving community welfare. The research employs an empirical juridical method with a statutory, conceptual, and socio-legal approach. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving local government agencies, business actors, and indigenous communities in Jayapura Regency. The findings reveal that the implementation of GI protection remains ineffective due to limited legal awareness, weak institutional support, and lack of government facilitation in the registration process. However, effective GI protection can increase product competitiveness, market access, and community income while preserving local cultural heritage. This study implies the need for stronger legal policies and institutional collaboration to optimize GI protection in Papua.

Gender-based domestic violence (KDRT) remains a critical issue in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas like North Jakarta. This study examines the governance of services for KDRT victims from a gender perspective in 2025, employing a qualitative case study approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 20 victims and service providers at community health centers (Puskesmas), the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A), and NGOs. Findings reveal fragmented governance, characterized by weak inter-agency coordination, low accessibility for low-income victims, and insufficient integration of gender perspectives in handling procedures. Key barriers include bureaucratic hurdles and inadequate training for staff on toxic masculinity issues. The study recommends an integrated governance model based on gender-responsive governance, including a one-stop digital platform and enhanced multi-stakeholder collaboration. Policy implications support the achievement of SDGs 5 and 16 at the local level. This study also highlights the importance of increasing public awareness and education regarding gender-based domestic violence to create a safer and more inclusive environment for victims.

Domestic violence (DV) remains a complex legal and social problem, threatening family stability and human dignity. Although Law No. 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence provides strict sanctions, conventional punishment methods are often considered ineffective in restoring damaged social relationships within families. This study examines the implementation of restorative justice in resolving domestic violence cases within the Bungo Police jurisdiction, from the perspective of positive law and Islamic law. This study uses an empirical legal approach and a sociological perspective, with primary data collected through interviews with investigators from the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA), as well as secondary data from laws, police regulations, and related academic literature. The results show that restorative justice has been applied to several domestic violence cases during the investigation stage through mediation and peace agreements between the parties involved. This method helps reduce the backlog of cases, accelerates dispute resolution, and maintains family social stability. However, challenges remain, such as the possibility of re-victimization due to the imbalance of power between victims and perpetrators. From an Islamic legal perspective, restorative justice is in line with the principles of ta'zīr and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, especially the preservation of human dignity, life and offspring. By guaranteeing the protection of victims and preventing repeated violence, restorative justice can be an additional mechanism in cases of domestic violence.

This study aims to analyze the legal implications arising from the disharmony between regulations governing the expansion of large-scale oil palm plantations and the protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B), as well as to examine the implementation of food agricultural land protection policies in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The research employs an empirical legal method with a socio-legal approach, combining statutory analysis, document review, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the theories of legal politics and legal disharmony. The findings reveal the existence of regulatory disharmony in vertical, horizontal, and implementation dimensions. Regulations that support the expansion of oil palm plantations through licensing simplification, the extension of Land Use Rights (Hak Guna Usaha/HGU), and investment-oriented policies following the enactment of the Job Creation Law tend to conflict with the objectives of sustainable food agricultural land protection. The study also finds that the conversion of food agricultural land into oil palm plantations in Kutai Kartanegara is predominantly carried out independently by farmers as a result of economic pressures and socio-economic structural changes influenced by the presence of large-scale plantation companies. Furthermore, spatial planning decision-making processes demonstrate the dominance of investment interests over food land protection. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, the strengthening of LP2B protection instruments, and the provision of economic incentives for farmers are necessary to maintain the sustainability of food agricultural land and support national food security.

Mangrove forests play an important role in maintaining the stability of coastal ecosystems, reducing coastal abrasion, and supporting the socio-economic life of coastal communities. However, the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in Kayu Ara Permai Village, Siak Regency, faces various threats originating from natural factors and human activities. This study aims to evaluate the policy of mangrove forest protection and preservation in Kayu Ara Permai Village and identify obstacles in its implementation. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of Village Regulation Number 07 of 2018 succeeded in reducing illegal logging activities and increasing public awareness regarding mangrove conservation. Policy evaluation was analyzed using indicators of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The findings indicate that the policy has been fairly effective in controlling illegal exploitation, but has not been optimal in addressing coastal abrasion and providing rehabilitation support facilities. The main obstacles include increasing coastal abrasion, limited wave-breaking equipment, lack of operational patrol facilities, and limited institutional support. Therefore, stronger collaboration between the village government, local communities, and regional government is needed to improve the sustainability of mangrove protection and preservation policies.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly required to preserve the sustainability of their institutional values by ensuring high-quality services, operational efficiency, and rigorous adherence to risk governance frameworks. RSUD dr. Chasbullah Abdulmadjid Bekasi City continues to face considerable challenges in this regard, particularly due to the limited internalization of core organizational values, disparities in the cultivation of an adaptive culture, and inconsistent employee compliance with established risk management procedures. These issues highlight the necessity for a leadership paradigm grounded in service, empathy, and empowerment.This study investigates the extent to which servant leadership influences the creation and protection of corporate values, while examining the mediating roles of strong adaptive culture and employee compliance doing the implementation of risk management. Employing a quantitative explanatory survey design, the research collected responses from 153 hospital employees, and data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate both direct and mediated causal pathways among variables.The findings reveal that servant leadership significantly strengthens creation and protection of corporate values, not only through direct influence but also by enhancing cultural adaptability and reinforcing compliant behavior in risk-related practices. Leaders who embody service-oriented principles are shown to cultivate work environments that foster mutual trust, organizational learning, and value-based decision-making.This study contributes meaningful empirical evidence to the discourse on leadership, organizational culture, and compliance within public hospital settings. Institutional strategies should prioritize continuous leadership development and comprehensive risk governance training to secure long-term performance excellence and reputational resilience.

The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land continues to increase along with the pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and settlement expansion. This condition poses risks to food security, environmental sustainability, and farmer welfare. This article reviews literature based on 25 abstracts/research results on LP2B in Indonesia to map policy implementation patterns, the relationship between LP2B and regional spatial planning, inhibiting factors, and the direction of policy strengthening. The method used is a narrative review with thematic synthesis of normative legal studies, juridical-empirical, qualitative, mixed methods, and spatial-quantitative approaches. The results of the review indicate: (1) LP2B is highly dependent on the harmonization of spatial planning policies, especially RTRW/RDTR and licensing mechanisms based on KKPR-OSS; (2) many regions are still stuck at the land inventory-identification stage, not yet reaching the determination and operational protection through LP2B Regional Regulations; (3) dominant obstacles include regulatory asynchronous, weak law enforcement, minimal cross-agency coordination, limited data by name by address, suboptimal socialization, and conflicts of interest in non-agricultural development; (4) incentive-disincentive instruments have not been implemented consistently, although socially farmers tend to accept LP2B protection; and (5) quantitative evidence at the national level shows that LP2B policies have a positive effect on the percentage of rice fields, despite being suppressed by population density and real estate sector growth. This article emphasizes the need for an integrated spatial governance approach, strengthening regional institutions, and designing policies that are socially and environmentally just to ensure that LP2B is effective in maintaining regional food security.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Non-Debt Tax Shield (NDTS), Effective Tax Rate (ETR), and Asset Tangibility on the capital structure of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. The property and real estate sector was selected due to its characteristics of requiring substantial capital investment and possessing high-value assets that can be used as collateral for debt financing. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling as the sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on capital structure. The results indicate that Non-Debt Tax Shield (NDTS) has a negative and significant effect on capital structure, while Effective Tax Rate (ETR) and Asset Tangibility have a positive and significant effect on capital structure. Simultaneously, NDTS, ETR, and Asset Tangibility significantly influence the capital structure of property and real estate companies. These findings suggest that tangible assets and tax protection strategies are major considerations in determining corporate financing decisions through debt. The implications of this study indicate that companies need to optimize the management of tangible assets and tax efficiency in formulating capital structure policies, while investors may use this information as an important consideration in evaluating corporate financing decisions.

This study examines the effectiveness of the Jambi Regional Police in enforcing criminal law in the digital era, particularly in addressing online gambling offences, from the perspective of Islamic law. The rapid development of information technology has transformed crime from physical spaces into cyberspace, characterised by anonymity, speed, and transnational reach, thereby requiring adaptive law enforcement strategies. This research adopts a qualitative juridical-empirical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers at the Jambi Regional Police, analysis of case documents, and examination of relevant legal frameworks, particularly Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). The findings reveal that the Jambi Regional Police have implemented several strategic measures in combating digital crimes, including cyber patrols, digital forensic investigations, seizure of electronic evidence, and inter-agency coordination. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains constrained by technological limitations, complex digital evidence requirements, the transnational nature of cybercrime, and limited public digital legal awareness. From an Islamic law perspective, police actions against online gambling align with the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). This study concludes that while digital criminal law enforcement by the Jambi Regional Police is fundamentally appropriate, it requires strengthened institutional capacity, integration of Islamic legal values, and adaptive policy reforms to enhance effectiveness and substantive justice.

The advancement of information technology has rapidly transformed trading patterns in Indonesia, shifting from conventional transactions to online transactions through marketplace platforms. On one hand, this transformation provides convenience and efficiency for both businesses and consumers. On the other hand, it has also given rise to various legal issues, particularly regarding consumer protection. This article aims to examine how legal protection for consumers is implemented in electronic sales agreements on marketplaces, while also identifying the obstacles encountered during its implementation. The study employs a normative juridical approach, using conceptual analysis and legislative review, supplemented by empirical data obtained from interviews. As described, legal protection for consumers in electronic transactions in Indonesia remains suboptimal. Specifically, these challenges include biased law enforcement, low levels of consumer literacy, and ineffective dispute resolution mechanisms. In practice, marketplaces have incorporated consumer protection features such as escrow systems, refund mechanisms, and complaint centers; however, their implementation still suffers from limited transparency and effectiveness. Furthermore, existing regulations are slow to respond to the dynamics of cross-border transactions and ongoing digital innovations. Therefore, comprehensive regulatory reform, stronger enforcement, and enhanced legal and digital literacy among the public are necessary to ensure effective consumer protection.

The Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office (DP3A) of Nabire Regency, Central Papua Province, faces various obstacles in recording employee attendance that was previously done manually, such as recording errors, delays in reporting, and difficulties in data recap. To overcome these problems, a web-based attendance application was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. This method includes the stages of needs planning, prototyping, iterative system development, and continuous implementation and evaluation. The RAD approach enables fast, flexible, and responsive application development to user needs, by actively involving staff in the process of testing and refining the system. The test results show that the app is able to record attendance in person, generate accurate reports, and support staff data management in a more regular and transparent manner. Thus, this web-based attendance application is expected to improve operational efficiency, strengthen accountability, and support better administrative governance in the DP3A environment of Nabire Regency.

In the digital era and free market, technology is growing rapidly. Consumers and businesses are now more inclined to use digital transactions rather than face-to-face cash transactions. This study aims to find solutions and receive feedback related to the implementation of the Consumer Protection Law in the Digital Era and Free Market. The method used in this activity is through counseling and discussion. From the results of this activity, it was concluded that Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection needs to be updated immediately as it is no longer relevant to the current digital technology, which has advanced far and is different from the conditions in 1999 when the consumer protection law was issued. The results of this activity indicate that the Consumer Protection Law No. 8 of 1999 requires comprehensive updates to accommodate the development of digital transactions, personal data protection, and consumer rights in cyberspace. Furthermore, the importance of educating consumers about their rights in digital transactions is also a key focus, so that the public can avoid losses resulting from unsafe online transactions.

Efficient and accurate management of population data is a crucial aspect for government organizations, especially the Nabire Regency Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office (DP3A). Currently, manual filing methods cause various obstacles, such as data errors, delays in public services, and difficulties in the reporting process. This study proposes the development of a web-based population data archiving information system using the Waterfall method. The system is designed to integrate and automate the process of managing sensitive data, including search, update, and report generation features. The results of the development show that the system is able to improve operational efficiency, data accuracy, and information security. In addition, this system supports transparency and accountability in the management of the DP3A program, including MSME and Family Planning data, while facilitating access to information for the public. Thus, this web-based archiving information system is expected to be a strategic solution in improving the quality of public services and supporting more appropriate decision-making within the DP3A environment of Nabire Regency.

The rapid development of e-commerce in Indonesia makes transactions easier for consumers, but also presents various losses, such as fraud, goods that do not match the description, leaks of personal data, and problems with returning goods. In this context, Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) exists as a legal basis which is expected to provide protection for consumers in online buying and selling transactions. This research aims to explore and analyze the effectiveness of the legal protection provided by the ITE Law for consumers, with a focus on protection for detrimental transactions, consumer personal data, as well as dispute resolution mechanisms. The research method used is a normative approach with a literature study of statutory regulations and related legal literature. The research results show that the ITE Law provides quite comprehensive legal protection, including the obligation of electronic system operators to ensure the security of transactions and personal data, as well as regulating sanctions for perpetrators of fraud. However, even though regulations already exist, implementation and consumer understanding of their rights is still a major challenge.

This paper examines how Somaliland’s liberalized, privately led telecommunications sector, once a state monopoly and now dominated by local firms, has become a driver of economic growth, financial inclusion, and infrastructure development, with Telesom as the leading example. Drawing on sectoral history, market composition, and coverage data, the study shows how Telesom and its competitors have built nationwide networks, delivered low-cost services, and enabled mobile money-based financial services in the context of weak formal banking. Focusing on Telesom’s ZAAD platform, the paper analyzes its ecosystem business model (salary payments, merchant networks, and high-frequency transactions), its contribution to financial inclusion, and its alignment with international anti–money laundering and customer due diligence standards. At the same time, it identifies ethical and prudential gaps, especially the absence of formal deposit protection, limited transparency in financial reporting and taxation, and the lack of an independent telecommunications regulator, which pose risks to consumers and systemic stability. Overall, the paper argues that Telesom illustrates how sustainable finance in telecommunications can combine innovation, inclusion, and profitability, provided that stronger governance, disclosure, and consumer protection frameworks are implemented to secure long-term sector resilience.
