Legal assistance for applications is a crucial form of legal aid provided to the public in submitting various types of applications to the courts or related agencies. This research is motivated by the urgent need to understand the effectiveness and implementation of such legal aid services, particularly for underprivileged communities who face barriers in accessing the justice system. This article aims to discuss and describe in detail the application processing process carried out by the Legal Aid Post (Posbakum) when operating and collaborating with the Legundi Legal Aid Institute (LBH Legundi), specifically in the context of name change applications. This research uses normative legal methods with a conceptual and statutory approach to analyze the applicable procedures. The results show that Posbakum plays a central role in drafting name applications for communities in need through a phased assistance process that includes initial consultation, verification of document requirements, technical assistance in scanning and nazegel, drafting application letters, and guidance on case registration. This assistance model has proven effective in overcoming procedural obstacles and increasing access to justice for underprivileged communities, while simultaneously transforming the community from a passive to an active role in fighting for their civil rights.

The Heritage Center (BHP) is a government institution under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia that has a strategic role in civil law, especially related to the management of heritage property. Rooted in colonial regulations and regulated in the Civil Code, BHP is authorized to represent and protect the legal interests of individuals whose whereabouts are unknown, immature, or legally incompetent. This study aims to analyze the implementation of BHP's duties in managing heritage assets based on the provisions of the Civil Code and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. The method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach and literature study. The results of the study show that BHP's position is as a subject of public law that carries out private legal functions. BHP's authority includes the management of unmanaged legacies, acting as a guardian or guardian, and acting as a curator in bankruptcy cases. Despite having a strong legal basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of BHP's duties in the field has not been optimal. The obstacles faced include limited resources, lack of public understanding, and coordination between agencies that has not been maximized. Therefore, systematic improvement efforts are needed through institutional capacity building, legal socialization, and strengthening regulations and cross-sector synergy to support the effective and sustainable implementation of BHP's tasks.

Indubitably, digital accounting platforms have proven to be a key element in financial management, especially in the contemporary era. They not only promise but guarantee improved accuracy, analytical depth, and reduced delays. In Kenya, the popularity of cloud-based accounting, AI-powered analytics, and enterprise-resource modules is quickly growing, although adoption still remains uneven across organization sizes, regions, and sectors. This journal’s primary objective was to explore the numerous challenges Kenyan accountants encounter when implementing digital accounting platforms and the strategies they utilize to address and overcome these challenges. Regarding methodology, the paper reviews the existing body of literature, including expert reviews, policy documents, and professional reports, to evaluate six critical barriers: infrastructural limitations, change resistance, financial constraints, human capital shortages, ambiguities in ethical and regulatory areas and the challenges that impact technical integration. It also includes a discussion of the most practical plans of action that practitioners in the field of accounting can employ to adapt to the current and ever-evolving landscape. This thorough analysis concludes that the sustainable digitalization of the accounting sector in Kenya highly depends on a concerted effort from educational institutions, industry stakeholders, government agencies, and professional bodies. It provides pragmatic recommendations for policymakers and provides suggestions for areas of further research, with a deep emphasis on phased implementation, capacity building, across-the-board empirical research, boosted investment in critical and resilient infrastructure, and functional governance frameworks.

This study explores the impact of organizational culture, motivation, and job satisfaction on the performance of Civil Servants (ASN) at the Karawang Regency Environmental Service. The study involved 95 ASN participants, with data collected through a quantitative census method. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 to evaluate the data obtained from questionnaires. The results indicate that organizational culture and motivation have a significant positive impact on civil servant performance, suggesting that as organizational culture and work motivation improve, so does the performance of civil servants. However, job satisfaction was found to have no significant effect on performance. This implies that while job satisfaction may play a role, it is less influential on civil servant performance compared to work culture and intrinsic motivation. The study also reveals that 62.3% of civil servant performance is influenced by organizational culture, motivation, and job satisfaction, while 37.7% is driven by other unassessed factors. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a positive work culture and enhancing employee motivation as key strategies for improving performance in government agencies. The study underscores the need for public sector organizations to focus on these internal factors to achieve higher performance levels.

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) play a crucial role in the nation's economy, as shown by their participation in overseas employment and the remittances they send back. Nevertheless, PMI frequently encounter challenges such as abuse, exploitation, breaches of contracts, and limited access to legal protections. The comprehensive legal structure designed to ensure their inclusive safety before, during, and after their employment is laid out in Law No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. This research aims to analyze the actual practice of legal protections available to PMI, in light of statutory requirements, and to highlight any obstacles encountered in its application. A normative legal research method is used in this study, employing both legislative and theoretical frameworks, and it is informed by relevant academic literature, laws, and judicial rulings. The findings reveal that while Law No. 18 of 2017 outlines thorough protection protocols, its real-world execution faces hurdles such as insufficient oversight, poor cooperation among agencies, and a general lack of legal knowledge among PMI. Consequently, it is essential to enhance institutions, elevate the quality of protective services, and maximize the effectiveness of Indonesian representatives abroad. This study aims to contribute to the development of more equitable and efficient regulations for the safeguarding of migrant workers.

This research analyses the challenges to service innovation in civil registration, specifically the issuance of birth certificates at the Sidoarjo Regency Department of Population and Civil Registration, within the context of governmental digital transformation. Employing a qualitative approach via in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, the study identifies various obstacles encountered in the process of public service digitisation. The findings indicate that the principal challenges include: (1) resistance to change from both civil servants and the public regarding the digital system; (2) limitations in information technology infrastructure and internet connectivity in rural areas; (3) the digital literacy gap between urban and rural community groups; (4) the complexity of coordination among government agencies within the integrated system; and (5) budgetary constraints for continuous system maintenance and development. The study also found that despite various innovations such as online services, mobile apps, and digital queuing systems, their implementation still faces significant technical and non-technical impediments. These findings contribute to the literature on public sector innovation by revealing the dynamics of e-government implementation at the regency/city level, and offer strategic recommendations for policymakers on optimising the digital transformation of civil registration services. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive analysis, which integrates technological, organisational, and social perspectives within the context of local government in Indonesia post-COVID-19 pandemic.

Legal problems in the land inheritance process often arise when inherited land has been registered in the name of another party. This study aims to examine the procedure for registering inherited land that has been issued a Certificate of Ownership (SHM) on behalf of other parties, as well as the form of legal protection for heirs. The research uses a normative juridical approach with a literature study method based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The approaches used include legislative, conceptual, analytical, and case approaches. The analysis of legal materials is carried out through grammatical, systematic interpretation, analogous construction, and legal refinement construction. The results of the study show that the registration of inherited land must be carried out by the entitled heirs, especially for land that has not been certified. Registration is carried out sporadically as a form of registration for the first time. Legal protection for heirs is obtained preventively through the land registration process, and repressively in the event of arbitrary actions from other parties or government agencies. This research emphasizes the importance of legal certainty in the process of registering inherited land and the protection of the rights of heirs so that they are not harmed by the existence of other parties' certificates. This effort is part of the fair and transparent enforcement of agrarian law in Indonesia.

This study examines the urgency of reforming law enforcement institutions in handling child offenders in Indonesia. The enactment of Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Criminal Justice System for Children (SPPA) marked a paradigm shift from retributive justice to restorative justice. However, its implementation has not been optimal because law enforcement institutions are still sectoral and not integrated. This study uses a normative juridical approach with empirical juridical support to analyse the conformity of legal norms with institutional practices. Data were obtained from legislation, scientific literature, and interviews with law enforcement officials and child protection practitioners. The results show that the implementation of diversion is still low due to weak coordination between institutions, limited human resources, and the absence of an integrated institutional mechanism. Institutional reform is needed to strengthen synergy between institutions, foster a humanistic mindset among officials, and ensure child protection in accordance with the principles of restorative justice. This study recommends the establishment of a permanent coordination body between child law enforcement agencies and ongoing training for officials. Institutional reform is seen as a strategic step towards realising a juvenile justice system that is not only normative but also substantively fair and restorative.

The paradigm of the Indonesian criminal justice system is currently undergoing a significant shift from a retributive approach toward a restorative one. Criminal offenses resulting from negligence (culpa) present a unique case within this transition, as they lack malicious intent (mens rea in the form of dolus), yet often result in severe harm or loss of life. Despite its potential, the application of restorative justice for culpa offenses remains hindered by fragmented and sectoral regulations among law enforcement agencies, leading to legal uncertainty and inconsistent implementation. This research aims to analyze the urgency of restorative justice in negligence cases and proposes a model for its reconstruction. Using a normative juridical research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this study examines existing regulations from the National Police, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Supreme Court. The findings indicate that the current framework requires a structural reconstruction through the synchronization of inter-institutional policies and the integration of restorative justice principles into the National Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). This reconstruction is essential to ensure a unified standard that balances legal certainty, the rehabilitation of the offender, and the restoration of the victim’s rights in unintentional crimes.

This study aims to analyze the difference in the volume of motorcycle traffic in the morning and evening on Jalan Dahlia which leads from the Square. The data was collected through direct observation methods during a specific period during morning and evening rush hours, then analyzed to determine vehicle flow patterns, traffic density levels, and significant differences between the two time periods. In addition, this study also considers supporting factors such as community activities, working hours, and daily travel patterns of road users that affect traffic intensity. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in vehicle volume, where the volume of motorcycles in the morning tended to be higher than in the afternoon due to the dominance of trips to work and school. On the other hand, in the afternoon the traffic volume is relatively more spread due to variations in the return time of road users. These findings are expected to be a reference for related parties, especially local governments and transportation agencies, in traffic management planning, transportation operational timing, and efforts to improve the safety and comfort of road users in the area.

The Karanganyar Regency Government functions as an autonomous region comprising various work units, including offices, agencies, and departments. This study aims to examine the influence of budget participation and work motivation on managerial performance, and to analyze the moderating role of leadership style within this relationship in the Regional Government Work Units (SKPD) of Karanganyar Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing primary data as its main source. The study population consisted of all 8,019 employees across the SKPD in Karanganyar Regency. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 100 employee respondents. The findings indicate that Budget Participation has a positive but not statistically significant effect on managerial performance. Conversely, the Work Motivation variable demonstrates a positive and statistically significant influence on the managerial performance of SKPD in Karanganyar Regency. Furthermore, Leadership Style was found to moderate the effects of both Budget Participation and Work Motivation on Managerial Performance. This suggests that an improved leadership style can enhance the effectiveness of budget participation and work motivation in boosting managerial performance within the SKPD of Karanganyar Regency

Child exploitation is a serious issue that threatens the fulfillment of children's fundamental rights and impacts their physical, psychological, and social development. This study aims to analyze the role of law in preventing child exploitation through an examination of regulations and criminal law enforcement in Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical research with a descriptive qualitative approach, supported by empirical data from interviews with law enforcement officers and child protection agencies. The results of the study indicate that although Indonesia has a comprehensive regulatory framework, such as Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection and Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, its implementation still faces various challenges. These obstacles include weak coordination among institutions, limited capacity of law enforcement officers, low public awareness, and the persistent social stigma against child victims. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the capacity of officers, applying a restorative approach, fostering synergy among institutions, and public education to build an effective, integrative, and sustainable child protection system.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of mangrove rehabilitation policies after Cyclone Seroja in West Oesapa Village, Kupang City, using Merilee S. Grindle's policy implementation theory and the principles of good governance. Mangrove rehabilitation is a crucial step in the recovery of coastal ecosystems affected by disasters, but in practice it often faces various obstacles, both in terms of institutions, coordination between actors, and community participation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with nine informants consisting of representatives of government agencies (DLHK, BKSDA), field supervisors, NGO administrators, RT heads, and local communities. Data analysis was carried out by referring to two main variables of Grindle's theory, namely policy content and implementation context, which were then combined with governance principles such as coordination, participation, transparency, effectiveness, and accountability. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the mangrove rehabilitation policy in West Oesapa does not fully reflect the principles of good governance. Coordination between actors is not optimal, community participation is still passive, and post-implementation monitoring mechanisms have not been implemented. The dominance of technical implementers and minimal community involvement in planning are major obstacles to achieving program sustainability. Therefore, strengthening collaborative governance and community empowerment is needed to ensure effective and sustainable mangrove rehabilitation.

The study aims to evaluate the adoption of the Coretax system by government expenditure treasurers using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). We assesses the factors influencing users' attitudes and intentions toward using new technology. Primary data from local government public service agencies in Karanganyar and Wonogiri regencies are collected by using questionnaire, analyzed with linear regression and path analysis. Our analysis reveals that perceived usefulness and behavioral intention are scored high, indicating that the treasurers find Coretax beneficial and are strongly inclined to continue using it. However, perceived ease of use and attitude toward use showed moderate to high ratings, indicating room for improvement in terms of ease of use and user comfort. Regression analysis found that perceived ease of use significantly affects perceived usefulness, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention. However, perceived usefulness and attitude toward use did not significantly influence behavioral intention. The findings suggest that the ease of use of Coretax plays a more crucial role in shaping the treasurers' behavioral intentions than perceived usefulness or affective attitude. This study providing insights into key determinants affecting user intentions and offering empirical foundations for developing training policies, system design improvements, and implementation strategies tailored to the public sector's needs. The findings of this research are also expected to contribute to offer practical implications for strengthening national tax digitalization reforms.

This article contributes to the understanding of MBKM practices in local government agencies.

This study aims to explore collaborative management between local governments, educational institutions, and communities in improving the quality of basic education in Sidoarjo Regency. The background of this research stems from the increasing need for an adaptive, participatory, and sustainable education system in the era of decentralization, where intersectoral collaboration is key to realizing quality and equitable education. Sidoarjo Regency, as a region with rapid economic and social growth, faces obstacles in the distribution of quality basic education, particularly related to community participation, policy collaboration, and human resource capacity building at the school level. This study applies a qualitative approach through a case study method, involving resource persons from the Sidoarjo Regency Education Office, principals, teachers, school committees, and the education community. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of regional education policy documents. Research findings indicate that collaboration between various actors has successfully improved education quality through community-based learning mentoring programs, teacher training, and innovative policies in school management. However, the implementation of collaboration continues to face obstacles such as lack of coordination between agencies, budget constraints, and ineffective joint program evaluation. The study concludes that successful collaborative management requires shared commitment, transparent communication, and ongoing policy support. Research recommendations emphasize the importance of enhancing intersectoral collaboration capacity, local education dialogue forums, and performance-based evaluation systems to maintain the sustainability of basic education quality in Sidoarjo Regency.

Regional budget management constitutes a critical foundation for achieving good governance in the era of decentralization and regional autonomy. This article comprehensively examines the pivotal role of accountability and transparency as essential instruments in enhancing the quality of regional budget governance. Employing a qualitative research methodology through systematic literature review and policy analysis, this study investigates the conceptual framework, implementation mechanisms, and practical implications of accountability and transparency principles in regional financial management. The findings reveal that robust implementation of accountability mechanisms—including financial reporting systems, internal and external oversight, and performance measurement—coupled with comprehensive transparency practices through information disclosure, public participation, and digital technology utilization, significantly contribute to strengthening institutional legitimacy, enhancing budget allocation efficiency, and preventing corruption. The research identifies that accountability is operationalized through multiple layers including legal compliance, procedural adherence, program effectiveness, and policy justification, while transparency manifests through open access to budget documents, participatory planning processes, and technology-enabled information systems. However, the study also uncovers substantial implementation challenges encompassing limited human resource capacity in financial management, inadequate inter-agency coordination, varying levels of public financial literacy and participation, and disparities in technological infrastructure between urban and rural areas. These challenges necessitate a multi-dimensional approach to reform. The article proposes evidence-based policy recommendations including systematic capacity building programs for government apparatus, strengthening regulatory frameworks with effective enforcement mechanisms, community empowerment through financial literacy initiatives, strategic investment in integrated digital platforms, and fostering collaborative partnerships among government institutions, legislative bodies, oversight agencies, civil society organizations, and citizens.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of public services in the administrative sector at the Batuwarno District Office, Wonogiri Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The data sources in this study include informants, research settings and events, as well as supporting documents. The sampling technique used was snowball sampling. Data were collected through three main methods: interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The validity of the data was tested using four criteria—credibility, confirmability, transferability, and dependability. Data analysis was carried out by applying the interactive analysis model. The results of the study indicate that: (1) the implementation of administrative services at the Batuwarno District Office has not yet been optimal, particularly in terms of facility maintenance and repair, which are essential to support efficient service delivery; (2) the main obstacles encountered include insufficient facility maintenance and a lack of understanding of administrative procedures among both the public and the staff; and (3) efforts undertaken to address these issues include improving coordination with related agencies, implementing the SAMBAT PAK CAMAT and DIK SUKMA programs, providing online administrative services, and distributing informational brochures and pamphlets on administrative services.

The phenomenon of using non-Hajj visas for pilgrimage has deprived many pilgrims of legal protection, with numerous cases of arrests by Saudi authorities resulting in deportation and even a ten-year ban on entering Saudi Arabia. This study adopts a qualitative case study design with an empirical legal research approach. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis at PT Mirbath Tour and Travel Palu. The primary data source was an interview with the Director of PT Mirbath, while secondary sources included the Qur’an, Hadith, legislation, journals, articles, theses, dissertations, and reference books. Data analysis employed reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings highlight three key points. First, PT Mirbath facilitated Hajj departures using multiple-entry visas with significant limitations, such as the absence of tents in Mina and Muzdalifah, restricted access to facilities, and alternative routes from Riyadh to bypass checkpoints. Second, the use of non-Hajj visas indicates that the implementation of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 8 of 2019 on the Administration of Hajj and Umrah has not been effectively enforced, with policy gaps and weak operational oversight remaining apparent. Third, although the contractual arrangements applied appear consistent with the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh muamalah), they conflict with the foundations of sharia economic law, as the use of non-Hajj visas involves elements of gharar (uncertainty), lack of transparency, and contractual objectives inconsistent with maqasid al-shariah.
