This study examines how a Maqasid al-Shariah framework can provide a holistic and ethically grounded foundation for regulating fintech and digital assets across Muslim jurisdictions. Drawing upon classical Islamic legal sources and contemporary fintech literature, the research employs a qualitative library-based methodology to analyze how principles such as ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth), maslahah (public welfare), and harm prevention can guide effective oversight of emerging technologies. Findings indicate that rapid digital financial innovation—particularly involving AI-driven platforms, blockchain systems, P2P lending, crypto-assets, and digital banking—poses significant regulatory challenges related to Shariah compliance, cybersecurity, financial stability, and consumer protection. Muslim jurisdictions face fragmented regulatory structures, inconsistent Shariah interpretations, and limited digital literacy, which hinder the development of cohesive governance frameworks. Integrating Maqasid al-Shariah provides an ethical compass to balance innovation with justice, transparency, accountability, and socio-economic welfare. The study highlights the need for harmonized cross-border standards, robust Shariah governance systems, AI ethics protocols, and regulatory sandboxes tailored to Islamic fintech. Ultimately, the Maqasid framework offers a dynamic and future-ready model for guiding digital finance ecosystems towards ethical resilience, social justice, and sustainable development.

This community engagement program aims to strengthen community-centered health services in Romania by integrating digital innovations into existing social welfare systems. The initiative responds to persistent challenges in accessibility, service coordination, and information flow between local health providers and underserved populations.

Results indicate significant improvements in digital readiness among participants, increased accuracy of health-service reporting, and stronger collaboration between social welfare actors and community members. Feedback collected from participants highlights a high level of satisfaction with the practicality and relevance of the training sessions. Overall, the program demonstrates that integrating accessible technological innovations into community-based health systems can contribute to more responsive, efficient, and inclusive social welfare structures in Romania. The findings further underscore the importance of continued investment in digital competencies and collaborative governance to support sustainable health-service improvements in socioeconomically diverse contexts.

This research undertakes a comparative analysis of the concept of divorce within the frameworks of Islamic Family Law and Buddhist Ethics. Marriage, recognized as a profound bond of both physical and spiritual union, holds significant value in both religious traditions. However, contemporary social realities reveal a high incidence of divorce, prompting a critical examination of the legal and ethical mechanisms governing its dissolution. Within Islamic jurisprudence, divorce (talak) is permitted but considered detestable by Allah, governed by stringent procedural mechanisms including talak (the husband’s right), khulu’ or gugat cerai (the wife’s right to initiate), and fasakh (judicial intervention). These processes carry clear legal implications concerning the waiting period (iddah), the possibility of reconciliation (rujuk), and the division of marital property. Conversely, while Buddhism does not explicitly prohibit divorce, the teachings of the Buddha strongly encourage spouses to exhaust all avenues for peaceful conflict resolution before considering separation as a last resort. The ethical framework in Buddhism grants equal rights to both parties to dissolve the marriage. This study employs a qualitative descriptive analytical method through library research, drawing upon primary legal texts such as Indonesia’s Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) for Muslims, alongside the Vinaya Pitaka for adherents of Buddhism. The findings indicate that while both traditions view divorce as a final option, they diverge fundamentally in their legal structures; Islamic law establishes specific, gender-differentiated rights and obligations, whereas Buddhist ethics emphasize mutual consent and personal responsibility without formal legalistic procedures. The research concludes by recommending that couples, regardless of faith, prioritize reconciliation and peace, aligning with the core principles of both religions, and urges policymakers and legal practitioners to promote harmonious family life and reconsider legal frameworks that might better serve the welfare of children and families.

Digital transformation has become a major driver of global economic growth while creating new challenges in the form of disparities between developed countries (Global North) and developing countries (Global South). This study aims to analyze the role of digital inclusion in bridging these disparities to achieve sustainable prosperity. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature review approach to various international reports and publications from ITU, World Bank, UNDP, and OECD. The results of the analysis show that effective digital inclusion is not only determined by infrastructure development, but also by increased digital literacy, equitable access, and adaptive public policies. Countries that implement comprehensive digital inclusion strategies show significant improvements in economic productivity, access to education, and equitable social welfare. The conclusion of this study confirms that digital inclusion is a strategic instrument in realizing fair, inclusive, and sustainable global development.

Global environmental challenges require active engagement from all sectors, including education. For Muslim youth, awareness of environmental sustainability aligns with Islamic ethical principles such as stewardship (khalifah), justice (ʿadl), and social welfare (maslahah). This study examines the influence of green economy education within Islamic higher education on students’ eco-literacy, ethical awareness, and sustainable economic behavior. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to students from both Islamic economics and non-economics programs. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA to identify differences in environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Findings show that students with an Islamic economics background consistently achieve higher scores in knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral engagement related to sustainability compared to non-Islamic economics students. Integrating Islamic ethical values into the curriculum provides a holistic framework for internalizing sustainability principles, encouraging students to translate ethical knowledge into practical action. Pedagogical strategies such as project-based learning, reflective exercises, and experiential programs further enhance engagement and eco-conscious behavior. The study highlights the critical role of Islamic education in fostering a generation of ethically aware and environmentally responsible students. By embedding moral and ecological principles in academic programs, educational institutions can strengthen students’ capacity for sustainable decision-making and support broader goals of responsible economic and environmental stewardship.

The National Food Assistance Program (Non-Cash Food Assistance/BPNT) is one of the social policy instruments designed by the Indonesian government to enhance food security and improve the welfare of poor households. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of this program by assessing its accessibility, targeting accuracy, commodity quality, and its impact on household expenditure and stability of food consumption.The research methodology uses a descriptive-analytical approach, combining secondary data from official government reports and academic literature with primary data in the form of a limited survey of beneficiaries.The results of the analysis indicate that the program is quite effective in increasing poor households' access to staple foods, primarily through the more transparent and flexible non-cash distribution mechanism. However, several constraints are still found, including inaccurate targeting of beneficiaries, variation in food quality at the e-warung level, and the limited digital literacy of some households.Nevertheless, the program is proven to be able to reduce the burden of food expenditure and improve consumption quality, thereby contributing positively to the welfare of poor households. This research suggests improving the validation of beneficiary data, supervising distribution, and expanding food and digital education for the community to further optimize the program's effectiveness.

A comparison between classical and contemporary interpretations regarding the law of theft contained in Surah Al-Mā’idah verse 38, which stipulates the punishment of hand amputation for theft. This verse has long been the basis of Islamic jurisprudence, but its interpretation has evolved over time. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach, which examines classical sources of interpretation such as Tafsīr al-Qurṭubī and contemporary interpretations such as al-Mishbāḥ. The research findings show that classical interpretations view this verse textually and normatively, with a focus on the application of hudud law as a form of justice and protection of property rights, as well as the imposition of strict conditions to avoid misuse. Meanwhile, contemporary interpretations view this verse contextually and humanistically, paying attention to social, economic, and humanitarian conditions. The punishment of hand amputation is understood not only as physical punishment, but also as a tool for moral education, crime prevention, and protection of community welfare. Although both share the same goal of upholding justice and safeguarding the welfare of the people, contemporary interpretations emphasize a more flexible application of law to align with the values ​​of social justice in the modern era. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of contextualizing the understanding of Islamic law without neglecting the principles of sharia, which balance justice, humanity, and the welfare of the people.

This study aims to analyze the government's communication strategy in communicating the salary increase policy for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and non-ASN teachers in 2025. The study used a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various official government sources, policy reports, and relevant scientific publications. The analysis focused on three main aspects of the communication strategy: information transmission, message clarity, and consistency of communication between institutions. The results show that the government has utilized various communication channels, both conventional and digital, to disseminate the policy to the public. However, several obstacles remain, such as limited access to information in remote areas, the emergence of misinformation on social media, and suboptimal communication coordination between relevant institutions. On the other hand, the development of digital technology and the increasing transparency of public information provide significant opportunities to strengthen the effectiveness of policy communication. A more integrated, clear, and inclusive communication strategy is considered crucial for increasing public understanding and support for the teacher salary increase policy. This policy is expected to not only improve teacher welfare but also contribute to the sustainable improvement of the quality of national education.

This research aims to formulate an inclusive gig economy adaptation strategy (rural-proofing) for the youth in Grobogan Regency, focusing on increasing sustainable micro-income within the Tourism and Creative Economy sectors. Grobogan, which has the development vision of "Prosperous and Sustainable", faces a   Welfare Paradox a low Open Unemployment Rate (3.23%) coupled with a significant Poverty Rate (11.43%). This condition suggests a dominance of low-productivity and low-income jobs (underemployment). Furthermore, the adoption of urban gig economy models (such as online transportation) has proven highly vulnerable to economic.    Using a systematic literature review method and synthesis of local data, this study identifies three main gaps: the job quality gap (influenced by the low Average Years of Schooling at 7.29 years), the digital ecosystem gap (limited infrastructure and low digital literacy in rural areas), and the social protection gap (unclear legal status of gig workers). The main findings of this research highlight the necessity of shifting the focus from creating unskilled gig jobs (urban models) to a Rural-Proofing Strategy that includes: (1) Empowerment through experiential learning to foster young creative-preneurs and agro-preneurs, (2) Prioritizing infrastructure acceleration in Creative Economy centers, and (3) Local social protection innovation (e.g., subsidized BPJS Employment schemes) that can be integrated with existing local regulations. This strategy must be implemented through the Pentahelix approach, positioning the Government as the regulator and Academia as the training curriculum provider, supported by Business, Community, and Media. In conclusion, Grobogan's economic transition toward digitalization must be steered by adaptive and protective policies to ensure that digital innovation does not intensify income inequality.

The Community Service Program (KKN) is one of the implementations of the university’s tridharma focused on community engagement, aiming to improve welfare and economic empowerment in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the role of the KKN program in enhancing Islamic economic literacy among small business owners in Pahang Village, Talawi District. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a participatory approach, involving KKN students, small entrepreneurs, and village officials as key informants. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of activities. The results show that socialization, Islamic financial training, and business mentoring activities successfully improved participants’ understanding of Islamic economic principles such as honesty, justice, and the prohibition of usury. Moreover, the KKN program encouraged entrepreneurs to apply sharia-compliant transactions and develop sustainable financial management practices. Therefore, the KKN program has a significant contribution to strengthening Islamic economic literacy and fostering a small-business ecosystem rooted in Islamic values at the village level.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in alleviating poverty, with a case study focus on Sei Jang Village, Tanjungpinang City. PKH is a social assistance program initiated by the government to improve the welfare of the poor through conditional cash assistance. The reason the researcher chose this title was to determine the extent to which PKH is effective in reducing poverty, especially since data shows a decline in the number of PKH recipients in Sei Jang Village in 2023. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. To measure the level of effectiveness, the theory from (Makmur, 2015) was used, which states that the elements of effectiveness include accuracy in timing, accuracy in calculation, accuracy in measurement, accuracy in decision making, accuracy in thinking, accuracy in carrying out orders, accuracy in determining goals, and accuracy in targeting. The results of the study show that PKH has had a positive impact on reducing the economic burden on poor families, particularly in meeting the educational and health needs of children. However, the effectiveness of this program is still hampered by several factors, such as delays in fund disbursement, participants' lack of understanding of the program's terms and conditions, and minimal assistance from relevant officials. In addition, another challenge in the form of inaccuracy in targeting beneficiaries also affects the overall achievement of the program. These findings indicate that better management and supervision are urgently needed. This study concludes that although PKH contributes significantly to poverty alleviation, improvements in management and supervision are needed to maximize the program's objectives. The proposed recommendations include increasing the capacity of social workers, improving the beneficiary selection mechanism, and strengthening coordination among stakeholders at the local level.

This study aims to improve the welfare of curly red chili farmers in Tanjung Seteko Village through the innovation of processing fresh chili into chili oil. The background of this research lies in the low added value of fresh chili and frequent price fluctuations that cause unstable farmer incomes. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages, with purposive sampling covering farmers, farmer group members, housewives, and village officials. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The results indicate that processing chili into chili oil can extend shelf life up to 1–2 months at room temperature and more than 6 months under refrigeration, reduce harvest losses by 30–40%, and significantly increase economic value compared to selling fresh chili. A single production process using 5 kg of curly red chili yields 16 liters of chili oil with an estimated selling price of IDR 1.500.000-2.000.000 per production cycle, showing that simple processing activities can provide substantial added value for farmers. Beyond economic benefits, this innovation strengthens community empowerment by improving processing skills, encouraging economic independence, promoting participation in value-added businesses, and reinforcing local economic resilience. The social impacts also include youth and women empowerment and broader opportunities for local product–based entrepreneurship. The study recommends continuous capacity development, digital marketing strategies, and ongoing mentoring to optimize farmer welfare. Therefore, processing curly red chili into chili oil is a strategic solution to enhance income, skills, and sustainable rural economic development.

The phenomenon of cockfighting still persists in various communities in Indonesia as a cultural practice, entertainment, and symbol of certain social identities. However, this practice raises serious issues when analyzed from the perspectives of modern bioethics, animal welfare, public health, and normative religious values, particularly maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. This study aims to examine the ethical conflicts that arise from cockfighting by analyzing the biological and physiological impacts on animals, violations of animal welfare principles, and tensions between local cultural legitimacy and universal ethical standards. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach based on a review of relevant scientific literature, including national and international publications in the fields of bioethics, animal welfare, animal health, and law. The results of the study show that cockfighting systematically causes severe physical injury, extreme biological stress, behavioral disorders, and an increased risk of zoonotic disease transmission, so it can be categorized as a form of organized animal cruelty. From a bioethical and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah perspective, this practice contradicts the principles of respect for life, non-maleficence, and protection of life and public welfare. The lack of legal protection focused on animal welfare reinforces the urgency of a transformative approach through regulatory reformulation, public education, and the development of non-violent cultural alternatives. This study is expected to serve as a scientific and ethical basis for policy formulation and contextual and sustainable animal protection efforts.

Land ownership in Indonesia has both philosophical and juridical dimensions closely linked to citizenship status. According to the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) of 1960, only Indonesian citizens are entitled to hold full ownership rights over land. This study aims to analyze the philosophical and juridical foundations of citizenship as a prerequisite for land ownership and its implications for social justice and national sovereignty. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. Data are obtained through literature review of legislation, court decisions, and scholarly works, including Ahmad Muhammad Mustain Nasoha’s views on citizenship in the agrarian law context. The results indicate that restrictions on foreign land ownership are not merely administrative policies but a philosophical manifestation of the idea that land is essential to state sovereignty and public welfare. Juridically, this regulation reinforces the principles of nationality and distributive justice within Indonesia’s agrarian legal system. The study concludes that citizenship as a requirement for land ownership functions as a legal safeguard of the nation’s right to the land and a means to achieve social justice.  

This research focuses on the strategic role of the people's market as a driver of the regional economy and a source of Regional Original Income (PAD), by taking a case study of the arrangement of the people's market by the Ciamis Regency MSME Office. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the Regional Government of Ciamis Regency implements five main strategies in structuring the people's market, including optimizing development and revitalization with ease of access, market development based on potential and local characteristics, cooperation with investors, facilitation and guaranteeing the ease of capital lending through banking, and market promotion using digital technology. This strategy has a significant impact on the achievement of PAD. The achievement of PAD from the people's market sector of Ciamis Regency was recorded to exceed the target in the period of 2015 to 2017, reaching 113.4%, 128.0%, and 121.9%, respectively, although it decreased in 2018 to 87.2%. To optimize regional levy revenue, these findings conclude the need to improve and improve the regional levy management system to support the performance of the apparatus, the implementation of routine activities such as coordination between agencies and socialization to business actors, as well as increasing the discipline, dedication, and honesty of fiscal officials in carrying out their main duties and functions proportionately.

The phenomenon of increasing female activity in cafes shows a shift in lifestyle that is not merely consumptive, but also reflective and social. Cafes have now become leisure spaces where women express themselves, build relationships, and find emotional balance. This study aims to examine the trend of women utilizing cafes as a practice of social welfare in the era of sustainability. The approach used is descriptive qualitative based on secondary sources, with data in the form of news articles, lifestyle writings, and online media coverage of women's leisure behavior in Cirebon. This analysis was conducted to explore the social and spiritual values that emerge in these activities. The results of the study show that cafes serve as safe spaces for women to interact, share ideas, and restore mental energy. These activities reflect maqashid values such as Hifz al-nafs (preserving the soul) and Hifz al-'aql (preserving the mind), while contributing to the spirit of sustainability through the strengthening of gender equality and social welfare. The novelty of this research lies in its attempt to interpret women's leisure trends through the paradigm of social welfare, rather than simply as a modern lifestyle. These findings have important implications for the creation of a more inclusive, safe, and sustainable public space, while also opening up a new perspective that leisure activities can be part of achieving maqashid al-syari'ah in contemporary social life.

Bridge planning is a fundamental aspect in the development of transportation infrastructure that functions to connect regions, facilitate traffic flow, and support economic and social growth in the community. This study aims to comprehensively examine the stages of bridge planning, from identifying traffic needs and analyzing geotechnical conditions to selecting a structure type, and evaluating technical, economic, and environmental aspects. The methods used include field surveys, traffic data collection, design load analysis, and structural simulation using modeling software. The study results indicate that bridge type selection is not only determined by load capacity and cost efficiency, but must also consider sustainability, aesthetics, and the impact on the surrounding ecosystem. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating technical, social, and environmental aspects in bridge planning, so that the resulting design can provide a safe, efficient, and sustainable solution. Thus, bridge planning is not merely a technical process, but also a development strategy that supports connectivity and community welfare.
