Generation Z, born approximately between 1997 and 2012, grew up in a period characterized by advancements in digital technology, globalization, and unique social pressures. This article explores the dynamics of physical and mental health among Gen Z, focusing on the challenges and opportunities they face. Physically, a sedentary lifestyle driven by reliance on technology and changes in modern dietary patterns has increased the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders. On the other hand, growing awareness of the importance of exercise and healthy living paves the way for improvement. In the context of mental health, Gen Z experiences higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress compared to previous generations, largely due to academic pressures, social expectations, and intense exposure to social media. However, the stigma surrounding mental health is gradually diminishing, with more individuals seeking professional help. This article also highlights the importance of a holistic approach, including the integration of digital health technologies and community-based programs, in supporting the well-being of this generation. With a deeper understanding, cross-sector efforts can be made to create an environment that better supports the physical and mental health of Gen Z.

Citizenship is a legal status that gives a person rights and responsibilities as a citizen. Many laws in Indonesia regulate political rights, including the right to vote. One of them is Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. Within Indonesia's democratic framework, the right to vote is an important expression of popular sovereignty, allowing voters to actively elect their leaders at both the legislative and executive levels. Fulfilling the right to vote cannot be separated from various technological, political and social difficulties that may have an impact on democracy in Indonesia. Over the last five years, several dynamics have emerged in the enforcement of voting rights regulations, including changes to regulations, election implementation, and the application of digital technology to increase election transparency and accountability. Despite the implementation of legal and technological reforms, there are still challenges in verifying permanent voter lists, especially for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities and those living in remote locations or abroad, which continues to hinder efforts to tackle disinformation and hoaxes on social media. This research examines the political rights of Indonesian individuals, especially regarding their right to vote in general elections as regulated by law. The right to vote is one manifestation of political participation that is recognized internationally and guaranteed in various national legal instruments.

This study explores the intersection of citizenship and land tenure, examining how legal frameworks influence access to land and impact social identities within agrarian contexts.

The results underscore the need for legal reforms that recognize equitable land rights and address social disparities within land governance frameworks. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on agrarian law, advocating for policies that prioritize social justice and inclusivity, thereby enhancing sustainable development and resource management.Keywords: agrarian law, land ownership rights, citizenship dynamics, Indonesian citizens, legal framework.  

The coastal area in Aeng Batu-Batu Village, Galesong, Takalar Regency is one of the areas whose lives depend on marine products, especially on seaweed cultivation as their main livelihood. However, due to the sea mining activities that began in the area since 2017 to meet the needs of infrastructure projects on the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) reclamation island, it has had a significant impact on the social life of the local community, a change in income that has decreased from seaweed cultivation which has finally made fishermen switch to looking for other marine biota such as crabs and squid. In the context of social dynamics that occur as a result of mining, it has made changes in the daily activities of the local community, especially in the search for income. In this case, the solidarity of the local community is also an important factor in changing habits that occur after sand mining occurs. Sand mining also triggers coastal abrasion which causes houses in coastal areas to be exposed to abrasion. This research uses qualitative methods that focus on interview techniques, observation and literature review which are used to analyze the effects of sand mining on the coastal communities of Aeng Batu-Batu Village. The results of this study show that coastal sand mining has brought changes to the social dynamics and interaction patterns that exist in the community, especially in the management of marine resources and their place of residence. These results are expected to be material for further attention regarding coastal environmental management policies related to the utilization of natural resources, especially for reclamation needs in order to prevent negative impacts that arise in coastal communities.

This research aims to analyze the role of sharia economics in the management of social media-based Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM). The development of information technology, especially social media, has opened up new opportunities for MSMEs to access wider markets. However, amidst the dynamics of the digital market, the application of sharia economic principles in managing social media-based MSMEs is very important to maintain business sustainability and ensure fair and transparent transactions.. By implementing business models such as mudharabah and musyarakah, social media-based UMKM can optimize financing potential without dependence on interest, as well as strengthen relationships with customers through ethical transactions. The research results show that the application of sharia economics in managing social media-based MSMEs not only improves business performance, but also has a positive impact on brand strengthening, customer loyalty and social empowerment. However, the main challenge in implementing sharia economics in social media-based MSMEs lies in the limited education and understanding among business actors.
