Target participants comprised Pokdarwis (tourism awareness groups), local business actors, village officials, and community leaders. Findings indicate significant improvements in understanding sustainable tourism, institutional capacity, environmentally friendly practices, utilization of local wisdom, and community participation. The program also fostered collective awareness regarding the importance of socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable destination management. Implications extend beyond individual behavior changes to the strengthening of local governance and community readiness to develop community-based tourism destinations. Overall, this initiative contributes to the development of a community empowerment model that supports regional sustainable tourism policies and has potential for replication in other areas with similar characteristics.

The implementation of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) through Pillar Two of the OECD/G20 marks a fundamental change in the international tax architecture, especially for developing countries such as Indonesia. One of the key instruments in Pillar Two is the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (QDMTT), which provides an opportunity for source countries to retain the right to tax the profits of multinational companies with an effective tax rate below 15 percent. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's readiness to face the implementation of GMT through the QDMTT policy, focusing on regulatory aspects and tax administration capacity. The research method uses literature studies with a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of policy documents, tax regulations, as well as academic literature and international reports. The results of the study show that Indonesia's readiness is still in the transition stage. In terms of regulation, Indonesia has shown an initial commitment through the issuance of PMK Number 136 of 2024, but the regulation still needs to be strengthened at a higher level of regulation for long-term legal certainty. From the administrative aspect, the main challenges include the complexity of calculating jurisdiction-based Effective Tax Rates, cross-border data management, as well as increasing the capacity of human resources and information technology infrastructure. This study concludes that the success of QDMTT implementation in Indonesia depends on strengthening regulations, increasing tax administration capacity, and reformulating sustainable investment policies.

Digital transformation has become a central agenda in local governments seeking to improve the effectiveness, accessibility, and reliability of public service delivery, particularly in population administration services that constitute the legal foundation of citizenship. In Indonesia, the Surabaya City Government has implemented the Klampid New Generation (KNG) program as an integrated digital platform for population administration services, aiming to streamline civil registration processes, enhance service quality, and expand citizen access. Despite its technological ambition, the implementation of digital population administration services continues to face persistent challenges related to administrative capacity, especially at the municipal level where services are operationalized and directly experienced by citizens. This issue raises an urgent academic and practical question regarding how administrative capacity shapes the performance and sustainability of digital public services within the broader digital government transformation. This article aims to synthesize and critically evaluate the existing scholarly literature on administrative capacity in the implementation of digital population administration services, with analytical relevance to the KNG program in Surabaya City Government. Employing an integrative literature review design, the study systematically examines peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and SINTA databases. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using thematic and conceptual synthesis techniques. The review identifies key dimensions of administrative capacity that consistently influence digital service implementation, including institutional and organizational arrangements, human resource competence, technological and infrastructural readiness, regulatory and procedural alignment, inter-organizational coordination, and the role of street-level bureaucrats in frontline service delivery.

Consular services have become a critical site of state intervention in the governance of international labor migration, particularly for migrant-sending countries such as Indonesia whose citizens depend on overseas missions for administrative protection and access to public services abroad. Despite the growing importance of consular institutions in safeguarding migrant workers’ rights and welfare, existing scholarship remains fragmented, offering limited conceptual integration of how administrative capacity shapes institutional readiness in cross-border public service delivery. Addressing this gap, this article presents a structured narrative–integrative literature review that synthesizes international peer-reviewed studies on administrative capacity, policy capacity, consular services, and migrant worker protection published in the last five years. Drawing on Administrative Capacity Theory as the core framework, complemented by Public Service Theory, Policy Implementation Theory, Street-Level Bureaucracy, and Institutional Theory, the review systematically analyzes how different dimensions of capacity configure institutional readiness in consular services. The findings reveal that institutional readiness emerges from the interaction of four interrelated dimensions: human resource capacity, organizational and procedural capacity, institutional and coordination capacity, and resource and infrastructure capacity. Rather than functioning as isolated determinants, these dimensions collectively shape how consular institutions translate formal mandates into service outcomes under conditions of transnational governance, legal pluralism, and fluctuating demand. The review further demonstrates that frontline discretion, coordination gaps, procedural rigidity, and uneven resource allocation are recurrent patterns across the literature, underscoring the dynamic and practice-based nature of administrative capacity in consular contexts. Theoretically, this article contributes to public administration scholarship by extending administrative capacity frameworks into the underexplored domain of cross-border public services and by integrating previously segmented theoretical perspectives into a coherent conceptual synthesis. By reframing consular services as institutionally embedded public service systems rather than solely diplomatic functions, the article advances understanding of institutional readiness in migrant worker protection and provides a robust analytical foundation for future empirical and comparative research in international public administration.

Digital transformation of government through the implementation of e-government has become a strategic agenda in bureaucratic reform in Indonesia. Local governments play a crucial role as a bridge between national policies and village governance practices. This article analyzes the implementation of e-government by the Batang Regency Government in support of village governance. This research uses a qualitative approach and a policy analysis method, based on literature reviews and official documents, including regional regulations, SPBE policies, and relevant institutional reports. The analysis was conducted using a theoretical framework of public policy implementation and the principles of good governance. The analysis results indicate that the Batang Regency Government has a relatively adequate e-government regulatory and institutional framework, but its implementation at the village level still faces challenges, including gaps in apparatus capacity, variations in village digital readiness, and suboptimal cross-organizational coordination. This article concludes that strengthening the role of local governments as facilitators, coaches, and coordinators of digital policies is key to the successful implementation of village e-government. These findings provide theoretical contributions to e-government studies and policy implementation, as well as practical implications for formulating local government digital policies.

This study aims to analyze the readiness of the digital bureaucracy in transforming public services in Sorong City, focusing on the capacity and digital literacy of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). The research uses a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, in which quantitative data are collected through questionnaires and analyzed descriptively and correlatively, and then deepened with qualitative data through in-depth interviews. The study's results show that the Sorong City Government's digital bureaucracy is in the early stages of implementation and has not been optimal. ASN capacity and ASN digital literacy are positively related to the readiness of the digital bureaucracy, but they remain at a sufficient, fundamental level. The transformation of digital public services has increased the efficiency of certain services. However, this improvement has not been evenly distributed due to limited human resources, system integration challenges, and a bureaucratic work culture. The study's implications emphasize the importance of strengthening civil servants' capacity and digital literacy as a prerequisite for the successful transformation of digital public services. The limitation of this study is in use of correlation analysis, which does not explain causal relationships. Further research is recommended to use a more comprehensive analytical approach and expand the scope of the research area.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognized as a transformative enabler of early disease detection, with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, support predictive risk stratification, and advance preventive healthcare. Despite rapid methodological progress, many existing reviews remain performance-centric, offering limited insight into generalizability, ethical governance, and real-world implementation constraints. This paper presents a narrative and integrative review with an adoption-focused, translational perspective, synthesizing recent developments in AI-driven early disease detection across oncology, cardiology, neurology, and infectious disease surveillance. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature published primarily between 2016 and 2025, the review examines reported performance gains alongside persistent limitations related to data heterogeneity, population bias, explainability, and regulatory fragmentation. Through cross-sectional synthesis, we identify three recurring gaps in prior reviews: (i) overgeneralization of AI’s diagnostic superiority, (ii) insufficient consideration of ethical and legal accountability, and (iii) a lack of actionable guidance for scalable clinical implementation. Integrating technical, ethical, and policy dimensions into a unified conceptual framework, this review demonstrates that while AI systems can consistently enhance diagnostic accuracy and early risk stratification in well-defined tasks, sustained clinical adoption depends on aligning technical performance with governance readiness, interpretability, and workflow integration. The analysis further highlights how implementation mechanisms—such as explainable AI, continuous post-deployment monitoring, and clinician-centered deployment strategies—mediate the translation of algorithmic innovation into real-world healthcare impact. Overall, this review provides a critical reference for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers seeking to translate AI innovation into safe, equitable, and trustworthy clinical practice.

The digital transformation of health services through the Mobile JKN application was introduced by BPJS Kesehatan to provide easier access for the public in obtaining information, managing membership administration, and receiving health services more quickly and efficiently. This study aims to measure the readiness level of patients at Abdul Manap Regional Hospital, Jambi City, in adopting the Mobile JKN application using the HOT-Fit method, which covers three main components: Human, Organization, and Technology. Data were collected from 360 respondents through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that technology factors—including system quality, information quality, and service quality— along with organizational support have a significant effect on system use and user satisfaction, which in turn positively influence the net benefits. The outer loading values of all indicators exceeded 0.7, with Composite Reliability above 0.8 and AVE above 0.6, confirming that the research instruments are valid and reliable. Overall, patients at Abdul Manap Hospital are categorized as ready to adopt Mobile JKN, although improvements in digital literacy and stronger organizational support are still required to optimize its utilization.

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital innovation on financial management in Purbalingga Regency, focusing on two main systems: the Regional Government Information System (SIPD) and the Village Financial System (SISKEUDES). Digital innovation is considered important to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public financial management (Lips, 2020; Agostino, Bracci, & Steccolini, 2022). The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study supported by in-depth interviews with application users and previous research (Daffa, 2024; Nadaa & Priyanti, 2023). The findings show that the use of SIPD and SISKEUDES has successfully increased transparency and efficiency in financial reporting in Purbalingga through data integration and public access to information. However, technical issues, limited human resources, and lack of inter-agency cooperation remain obstacles. Efforts by the local government, such as routine training, system updates, and digital literacy improvement, have strengthened digital-based financial governance. Overall, this study shows that the success of digital innovation in public financial management is influenced not only by technology but also by institutional readiness, a culture of transparency, and community involvement in overseeing regional financial management.

MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) is a sub-sector with high economic value and a unique capacity to play a diplomatic role through interaction between international actors. At the regional level, the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit (Summit) has been used by Indonesia not only for economic purposes, but also as an arena for public diplomacy and soft power development. This article examines how the ASEAN Summit (especially the series of ASEAN 2023 activities spread across several locations including Labuan Bajo, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta) shows the function of MICE as a soft power instrument in Indonesian tourism diplomacy. By combining a literature review on soft power and tourism diplomacy, an analysis of official documents, MICE industry reports, and a case study of the 2023 ASEAN Summit, this paper identifies the mechanisms of influence, determinants of effectiveness, economic and reputational impact, and policy challenges. The results show that the ASEAN Summit provides a great opportunity for nation branding and international public engagement, but its effectiveness depends on policy synergy, MICE infrastructure readiness, image management, and post-event strategies to turn temporary exposure into long-term benefits.

Social Studies (IPS) learning at the elementary school level plays a strategic role in shaping students’ understanding of social, cultural, and economic life, as well as national values. This study aims to analyze the differences between the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum in IPS learning, including planning, implementation, the use of methods and media, and the assessment of learning outcomes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study, collecting data from curriculum documents, lesson plans (RPP), syllabi, classroom observations, interviews with teachers and school principals, and student questionnaires. The results indicate that the 2013 Curriculum provides a clear learning structure, detailed lesson plans, and systematic material organization that facilitates teachers, but it is less flexible and less contextualized for students. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes flexibility, relevance of content to the local context, innovative methods such as project-based learning and blended learning, as well as holistic assessment focusing on critical thinking skills, social literacy, and student character. The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum can enhance students’ learning interest, active participation, understanding of social concepts, and social awareness; however, its effectiveness depends on teacher readiness, school support, facilities, and consistency in assessment. These findings suggest that selecting an appropriate IPS curriculum should consider a balance between structure and flexibility, content relevance, teacher competence, and supporting facilities.

This study aims to: 1) describe the classical interpretation of QS. An-Nisa' [4]:9, particularly the concept of protecting descendants (khaufu 'ala al-dzurriyah); 2) explain the moral message of QS. An-Nisa' [4]:9 regarding parental responsibility through Abdullah Saeed's contextual hermeneutical framework; 3) demonstrate how a reinterpretation of QS. An-Nisa' [4]:9 can provide a new, more positive, and more balanced perspective on the childfree phenomenon in contemporary society. This research adopts a qualitative method grounded in library research. The data sources include classical and contemporary tafsir works, the writings of Abdullah Saeed, thematic literature on family studies, and academic references discussing the modern emergence of the childfree phenomenon. The analysis applies a contextual hermeneutical approach that emphasizes reading the Qur'anic verse through its historical setting, universal moral values, and relevance to contemporary social realities. This approach enables an integrated understanding between the fundamental message of the verse and present-day ethical challenges. The findings reveal that classical interpretations of QS. An-Nisa' [4]:9 focuses on the protection of orphans and the obligation to prevent descendants from falling into states of weakness. The moral message of the verse, viewed through Abdullah Saeed's framework, directs attention to the heavy moral responsibility of raising children, which requires comprehensive readiness. The reinterpretation of the verse highlights that the childfree choice does not inherently conflict with Islamic values, as this decision may arise from moral responsibility to avoid producing descendants who may be at risk of weakness, as warned in the verse. This perspective encourages society to view childfree choices more positively and aligns them with the Qur'anic objective of safeguarding the well-being and strength of future generations.

Tax administration reform is a strategic government agenda to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency of tax management. One effort undertaken is the implementation of an integrated, digital-based Core Tax Administration Sistem (Coretax). However, the success of Coretax implementation is determined not only by technological aspects, but also by the role of strategic management in planning, organizing, and managing organizational change. This study aims to examine the role of strategic management in supporting the successful implementation of Coretax as part of tax reform in Indonesia. The research method used is a literature review by examining various secondary sources such as scientific journals, international agency reports, government policy documents, and official publications related to tax reform and the digital transformation of the public sector. The results of the study indicate that strategic management plays a crucial role in aligning policies, human resource readiness, strengthening information technology, and managing resistance to change. These findings confirm that Coretax implementation will be more optimal if supported by comprehensive strategic planning, improved human resource competency, and an organizational culture that is adaptive to digital transformation.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the At-Turats Book Study Program using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model to provide an overview of the program’s relevance, resource readiness, implementation, and outcomes. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation and interviews. The results show that in terms of context, the study of classical texts meets the needs of the santri and aligns with the vision of Ma’had Al-Jami’ah, which aims to deepen religious and cultural understanding. In terms of input, the program is supported by qualified instructors and representative classical reference books, although there are still limitations in the number of teachers, the varying abilities of the santri, and supporting facilities. Regarding the process, the study is carried out using the halaqah method with a bandongan approach, which is relatively consistent, although the participation and interaction of the santri are limited. Some santri are still hesitant to engage actively in discussions, which can reduce the effectiveness of learning. In terms of product, the program has a positive impact, including an improvement in religious understanding, the development of more moderate and tolerant religious attitudes, and enhanced ability to comprehend classical texts among some of the santri. Overall, the program has achieved its main objectives but still requires improvement in terms of facilities and interaction during the learning process.

This study aims to examine the implementation of restorative justice within Bungo Regency's criminal judicial system from the perspective of Islamic law. Although restorative justice has been formally adopted in Indonesia through various regulations, its application at the regional level remains an important issue that requires careful attention. The study employs a juridical-empirical research design with a qualitative approach. Data was gathered through observations, in-depth interviews with law enforcement, religious leaders, victims, and offenders, and document analysis. The analysis integrates perspectives from both positive law and Islamic law, particularly focusing on the principles of qiṣāṣ–diyāt, ṣulḥ, ‘afw, ta‘zīr, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings indicate that restorative justice is used in certain criminal cases during the investigative phase in Bungo Regency. However, its effectiveness is limited by factors such as varying levels of readiness among victims and offenders, insufficient technical regulations, community resistance, and inconsistent understanding among law enforcement. From an Islamic law perspective, restorative justice aligns well with Islamic justice principles, particularly those emphasizing public welfare, forgiveness, and restoration. The study concludes that restorative justice is a contemporary manifestation of principles deeply rooted in Islamic legal tradition and not a contradiction of Islamic law. To improve its application, enhancing law enforcement competence, engaging religious and community leaders, and integrating Islamic legal principles into criminal justice policies are essential.

This study aims to strengthen students’ networking competencies through the implementation of straight and cross LAN cable assembly training at SMKN 53 Jakarta. The background of this research is based on the need to enhance students’ practical skills in basic computer networking, particularly in understanding cable configurations and applying crimping techniques according to industry standards. Many students experience difficulties in differentiating wiring standards and applying correct crimping procedures, which impacts their readiness for industry practice. This research employed a practical training approach combined with demonstration and hands-on methods. The participants were students of the Computer and Network Engineering program. Data were collected through observation, performance assessment, and competency tests before and after the implementation. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ understanding of cable color standards (T568A and T568B), accuracy in assembling straight and cross cables, and testing results using LAN testers. Students demonstrated higher levels of technical accuracy, problem-solving skills, and work discipline after the intervention. The implementation of structured practical activities proved effective as a medium for strengthening networking competencies. The study implies that continuous practice-based learning aligned with industry standards is essential in vocational education to improve students’ technical readiness and employability in the networking field.

Social change in Indonesia has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, one of which is reflected in the emergence of the Sole Proprietorship Company concept under Law No. 6 of 2023 on Job Creation. This framework allows individuals to establish a Limited Liability Company, particularly to support micro and small enterprises (MSEs). The innovation is not merely an adaptation of global practices but also a response to the need to strengthen economic independence. This study applies an interdisciplinary method with normative and socio-legal approaches to examine the provisions of the Sole Proprietorship Company by integrating social change factors underlying its necessity, despite substantive differences from conventional Limited Liability Companies. The analysis explores legal legitimacy and social readiness, concluding that social transformation drives the demand for this concept. Thus, regulations should be refined to remain simple and effective while encouraging MSEs to use it as a legal safeguard.

The interactive learning video innovation "Human Blood Circulation" through Edpuzzle, with embedded questions, is designed to address the difficulties faced by fifth-grade elementary school students in understanding abstract biological concepts. Science education in elementary schools often encounters challenges in explaining invisible processes, such as the heart's working mechanism and blood circulation, leading students to struggle with comprehension or merely memorize the material. Conventional learning videos tend to make students passive, necessitating media that can transform the learning process into an active one. Edpuzzle, as an educational platform, allows teachers to insert questions at critical points in the video, requiring students to answer before continuing to watch. This innovation aligns with the cognitive development stage of fifth-grade students, who are in the concrete operational stage.The research objectives include product development, validity and feasibility testing, analysis of conceptual understanding improvement, influence on focus and learning independence, and student responses. Media development refers to Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia and the characteristics of interactive videos according to Heinich et al. Additionally, media development models such as ADDIE and Dick and Carey are discussed. The main benefits of using Edpuzzle include increasing engagement, facilitating real-time formative assessment, and enhancing learning motivation. However, challenges exist such as technology access, teacher readiness, the risk of technology dependency, and long-term evaluation. The practical implications can support digital learning and the transformation of elementary science education.
