Batam Port is one of the strategic ports in Indonesia that plays an important role in the flow of goods and passengers and supports regional and international connectivity. As a port with mandatory pilotage waters, pilotage and towing services are vital components in ensuring the safety and efficiency of port operations. The imposition of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of 5% from these services aims to increase state revenue and the quality of port services. However, the implementation of this policy raises various challenges, such as overlapping levies that increase ship operational costs and low levels of user compliance.This study aims to analyze the legal regulations, implementation, and impact of the imposition and management of PNBP contributions of 5% from pilotage and towing services in Class II Pilotage Waters of Batam Port.

Additionally, the research highlights that customer engagement, driven by transparent communication and reliable services, plays a significant role in mediating the relationship between transparency and loyalty. The study further discusses the implications for banking institutions, suggesting that focusing on transparent practices, clear communication about security measures, and data usage can lead to enhanced customer satisfaction and long-term retention. Future research could investigate the impact of cultural differences on digital trust and transparency in banking, as well as explore the role of emerging technologies like blockchain in furthering transparency and trust in financial transactions.

Digital ethics frameworks play a crucial role in shaping corporate governance in tech startups, ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust within organizations. As digital technologies continue to evolve and become more integrated into daily operations, startups face both opportunities and challenges related to the ethical implications of these technologies. In emerging markets like Indonesia, the adoption of these frameworks remains limited due to resource constraints, lack of awareness, and resistance to formalizing governance structures. This study explores how Indonesian tech startups integrate digital ethics frameworks into their governance policies and examines the associated benefits and challenges. Through interviews with governance managers and key decision-makers in these startups, the study identifies key trends, including improved transparency and enhanced stakeholder relationships for startups that implement digital ethics practices. However, barriers such as limited expertise, organizational misalignment, and the flexible nature of startups present significant hurdles. The study also highlights the impact of digital ethics on corporate reputation and investor confidence, with startups benefiting from a stronger market presence and increased funding opportunities. In comparison to global practices, Indonesian startups face additional challenges due to cultural attitudes towards corporate responsibility, regulatory gaps, and a slower market readiness for ethical governance reforms. The study provides recommendations for regulatory bodies to create clear guidelines for digital ethics adoption and suggests promoting training for startup leaders to help them integrate these frameworks effectively into their governance policies. These actions can support the long-term sustainability of tech startups, fostering responsible innovation and ethical business practices.

According to Articles 33 & 34 of the 1945 Constitution Law of the Republic of Indonesia, the state is tasked with protecting the entire Indonesia nation and promoting general welfare in realizing social justice for all Indonesia people.

Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) number 181 of 2012, social assistance (bansos) is assistance in the form of transfer of money, goods, or services by the central/regional government to the community to protect the community from the possibility of social losses, increase economic capabilities, and improve social welfare. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. This research is to identify and analyze Public Service Development Strategies in Increasing Transparency of Aid Distribution in Wajo Regency. This study uses qualitative research methods in the research design. The results of interviews with Social Service employees and the community show that the public service development strategy in Wajo Regency focuses on the use of information technology, effective socialization, and an empathetic approach. Overall, the efforts made by the Social Service have brought positive changes in the distribution of social assistance in Wajo Regency, with an increase in public trust and satisfaction with the services provided.

This study explores the influence of Islamic environmental ethics on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and business decision-making, emphasizing how faith-based ethical frameworks guide sustainable practices in contemporary corporate environments. Grounded in the principles of stewardship (khalifah), justice (adl), and collective welfare (maslahah), Islamic ethics provide a holistic model for aligning profitability with moral and environmental responsibility. Using a mixed-method approach that combines survey research and content analysis, data were collected from 50 Shariah-compliant and ethically oriented companies across multiple industries. The survey measured the integration of ethical values into CSR initiatives, while content analysis of corporate reports evaluated transparency, environmental commitment, and ethical disclosures. The findings reveal that organizations adhering to Islamic ethical principles exhibit stronger environmental accountability, higher ethical compliance, and more sustainable long-term strategies compared to secular firms. These companies perceive environmental responsibility as a moral obligation rather than a regulatory requirement, integrating ethical governance into daily operations and strategic planning. The results also highlight that employee engagement and stakeholder trust improve significantly when CSR activities are guided by Islamic values. Furthermore, case studies of Islamic banks and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Muslim-majority regions demonstrate practical applications of these principles, including the use of zakat and waqf funds for environmental initiatives and community development programs. The study concludes that embedding Islamic ethics into business operations fosters a balance between economic growth, social welfare, and environmental stewardship. It also provides a pathway for strengthening corporate integrity and long-term competitiveness. Future research is recommended to examine the applicability of Islamic ethical principles across different industries and explore their intersection with emerging areas such as green innovation, artificial intelligence governance, and digital finance. Overall, this research underscores the potential of Islamic ethics as a foundation for sustainable business models that harmonize spiritual and economic objectives.

This study explores the role of Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms as ethical financial innovations in supporting green startups, particularly in emerging economies. Green startups, which are inherently mission-driven and environmentally conscious, often face challenges in accessing traditional funding due to the long-term nature of their returns and perceived investment risks. Conventional financing mechanisms are frequently profit-oriented and risk-averse, making them unsuitable for ventures that prioritize sustainability and community impact. In contrast, Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms offer alternative financing pathways that are grounded in Islamic ethical principles, such as profit-and-loss sharing and the prohibition of interest and speculation. The research uses a qualitative-comparative case study approach, drawing from secondary data and interviews with platform operators and green startup founders. Thematic and comparative analyses reveal that Sharia crowdfunding platforms not only attract ethically motivated investors but also foster trust, transparency, and alignment with the values of environmentally conscious communities. These platforms provide higher levels of ethical accountability, although they are currently limited by low public literacy and a lack of regulatory frameworks in many regions. The study concludes that Sharia-compliant crowdfunding platforms have significant potential to bridge the financing gap for green startups. Their success depends on collaborative support from government, financial institutions, and academia, along with increased efforts in education and regulatory development. By integrating religious ethics and sustainable finance, these platforms can help create inclusive, transparent, and socially responsible funding ecosystems that contribute meaningfully to green economic growth.

This study evaluates the policy implementation of the face recognition system at Surabaya Gubeng Station as a digital innovation in public service by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero). Using a qualitative approach and the policy evaluation model by William N. Dunn, the study assesses six key indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, responsiveness, accuracy, and equity. The findings indicate that the system is effective in accelerating the boarding process, reducing queues, and improving passenger convenience. Efficiency is achieved through reduced staff workload and automated identity verification. However, several challenges remain, including technical disruptions, data input errors, and low digital literacy among users. Personal data protection is also a concern as most users are not fully aware of how their biometric data is managed. Therefore an adaptive governance strategy is needed, involving infrastructure improvement, staff training, public education, and greater transparency in data policy. With these measures, the face recognition system can serve not only as a tool for technical efficiency but also as a form of inclusive and sustainable public service transformation.
