The use of fossil-fueled vehicles has long been a major cause of exhaust emissions that pollute the air and exacerbate global climate change. In an effort to address this problem, Indonesia has begun developing electric vehicles as a more environmentally friendly alternative solution. Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels while simultaneously reducing air pollution levels. The Indonesian government has demonstrated its commitment to supporting electric vehicle development by issuing several strategic policies, including Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 55 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for Road Transportation, and Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 7 of 2022 concerning the Use of Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicles as official vehicles for central and regional government agencies. In line with these policies, research was conducted to assess the power consumption efficiency of the Ken Dedes electric vehicle prototype, designed using a 250-watt DC motor and a mid-drive system. The main focus of this research was to analyze the effect of variations in module input voltage and gear size on the vehicle's power consumption level. The method used was an experimental approach with a quantitative approach, where a series of tests were conducted on several gear combinations and input voltage levels. The results of the study indicate that variations in these two parameters—gear size and input voltage—significantly affect motor power consumption. The most optimal combination in this study achieved a power consumption efficiency of 6 Wh/km. This figure demonstrates the most energy-efficient performance in vehicle operation and can serve as a benchmark for further development of similar electric vehicles. This research provides an important contribution to efforts to encourage the use of more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles in Indonesia.

Study Interest State Administrative Law, Implementation of Business Licensing for Laundry Services Activities in Barong Tongkok District, West Kutai Regency, under the guidance of Dr. Siti Kotijah S.H., M.H and Agustina Wati S.H., M.H. Business licensing is an important aspect in the implementation of business activities, including laundry service businesses that are increasingly growing in urban communities. Laundry businesses require official permits from the local government as a form of compliance with regulations governing economic activities and environmental protection. With licensing, the government can supervise business activities and ensure that business actors comply with operational standards, including in the management of domestic waste generated from the washing process. Laundry business licensing is also an instrument to ensure consumer safety and comfort. Business permits include technical and administrative requirements, such as location permits, environmental permits (UKL-UPL/SPPL), and operational permits from related agencies such as the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP). Without complete permits, business actors can be subject to administrative sanctions to criminal penalties, as regulated in various laws and regulations such as Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. Research on laundry business permits is important to provide a comprehensive picture of the processes, obstacles, and legal and environmental implications that may arise if business actors do not comply with applicable licensing provisions. Social legal research, with field studies at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office of West Kutai Regency, Barong Tongkok District and Laundry businesses in Barong Tongkok, West Kutai. Laundry businesses that have permits are 7, while there are still many laundry businesses that do not have laundry business permits. Business actors do not have business permits, because the reason is that their business is small, and the permit process is very difficult, and business actors avoid paying local taxes.

This study aims to identify the factors influencing pilgrims’ satisfaction at PT. Lianti Tour & Travel in Malang City, with service quality as an intervening variable. The research employed a quantitative approach using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The sample consisted of Umrah pilgrims who had used PT. Lianti Tour & Travel’s services. The variables examined include price, income, preference, facilities, service quality, and customer satisfaction. The results indicate that price and income have no significant effect on service quality or customer satisfaction. Likewise, facilities do not significantly influence either variable. In contrast, preference has a positive and significant effect on service quality and indirectly influences satisfaction through the mediating role of service quality. The findings highlight that service quality has a strong and significant impact on customer satisfaction, making it the key factor in creating a fulfilling Umrah experience. This research implies that Umrah travel agencies should prioritize improving service quality and understanding customer preferences to maintain loyalty and trust among pilgrims in the long term.

This research analyzes the business licensing process for plywood products at PT Anugerah Albasia Abadi Talun, Blitar Regency. It aims to identify the processes undertaken, the obstacles encountered, and to provide recommendations. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and the Triple Bottom Line framework, data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The research findings indicate that the company has successfully fulfilled all complex formal licensing requirements, including the Business Identification Number (NIB), Industrial Business License (IUI), Timber Legality Verification Sistem(SVLK) certificate, Environmental Management and Monitoring Efforts (UKL-UPL), and Forest Product Transportation and Trading License (IPHH), demonstrating a commitment to regulatory compliance. Nevertheless, the licensing process is still hampered by the disharmony between the digital Online Single Submission (OSS) system and manual practices, dynamic regulatory changes that are not yet widely disseminated, limited internal human resource capacity, and a lack of harmonization and coordination among government agencies. The Triple Bottom Line analysis reveals that licensing legality supports economic competitiveness and market access, while social aspects are well-established through local job creation and CSR programs. However, environmental management remains administrative and not yet fully performance-based. Therefore, the research recommendations focus on strengthening internal capacity, optimizing the OSS system, developing proactive environmental management, and enhancing continuous community involvement to achieve higher operational efficiency and sustainability

Procedures for Issuing Port Health Quarantine Clearance (PHQC) and Ship Health Book for the MT. Venus Ship at Kuala Tanjung Port by PT. Seroja Jaya Agensi. Every ship entering the port must be in good health, free from disease outbreaks and pests. Issuance of ship health documents is the responsibility of the Health Quarantine Agency (BKK). PT. Seroja Jaya Agensi, as the agency company, acts on behalf of the ship owner in processing ship health documents at Kuala Tanjung Port.

PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam operates in the sector of ship security services and shipping management (shipping agency), providing support for both domestic and international voyages. Its services include handling vessel arrival and departure permits, processing entry and exit permits for foreign crew members, renewing ship and crew certificates, and managing administrative procedures for seafarers’ sign-on and sign-off documentation. The document management process begins when crew members either sign a Sea Work Agreement (PKL) for employment on Indonesian-flagged ships or enter into a work agreement for service on foreign-flagged vessels. This paper employs field observation and literature review methods to present a comprehensive description of the document processing mechanisms at PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam based on operational requirements. The discussion focuses on outlining the workflow of seafarer book sign-on procedures, starting from the shipowner’s notification regarding scheduled crew changes to final administrative completion at the Batam Special KSOP Office. The sign-on document not only verifies the crew member’s official assignment but also functions as a record of their maritime service history. Common challenges include delays in information submission from shipowners, which can prevent timely sign-on and subsequently hinder vessel clearance. Therefore, strong coordination between shipping companies and regulatory agencies is essential to ensure effective fulfillment of responsibilities in managing crew documentation.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of assistance for issuing Business Identification Numbers (NIB) for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sukodadi District, Lamongan Regency. This assistance program is a government effort to support MSMEs in obtaining business legality regulated through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies related to program implementation. The results show that NIB assistance has a positive impact on MSMEs' understanding and awareness of the importance of business legality, which was previously neglected. However, there are several obstacles in its implementation, including limited digital literacy among MSMEs and limited internet access in some areas, which hinder the NIB registration process through the OSS system. Furthermore, although assistance has been provided by local governments and related agencies, it is necessary to increase the frequency and quality of assistance to make the NIB registration process easier and more efficient for MSMEs. Therefore, a more intensive mentoring policy based on technology empowerment is urgently needed to support the sustainability of business legality among MSMEs in Sukodadi District.

This research investigates the integration of renewable energy systems within coastal conservation areas through public-private partnership (PPP) frameworks to achieve dual objectives of environmental sustainability and economic development. The study addresses the critical challenge of balancing energy infrastructure development with ecological preservation in sensitive coastal ecosystems, where biodiversity and community livelihoods are often at risk due to increasing industrial and urban pressures. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining case study analysis, stakeholder interviews, and economic modeling, to generate a comprehensive perspective on the opportunities and constraints of renewable energy deployment in these regions. Case studies highlight successful international practices of PPPs that have facilitated renewable energy projects while safeguarding marine and coastal ecosystems. Stakeholder interviews with government agencies, local communities, and private sector representatives reveal the importance of transparent governance, shared responsibility, and inclusive participation in ensuring long-term project sustainability. Economic modeling further demonstrates that well-structured PPP models can reduce implementation costs by 30–40% while adhering to biodiversity conservation standards and regulatory frameworks. Findings underscore that renewable energy projects, when embedded within collaborative governance structures, not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions but also create employment opportunities, stimulate local economies, and enhance community resilience. This study contributes to the sustainable development literature by providing an actionable framework for integrating renewable energy infrastructure in environmentally sensitive areas through PPPs. The proposed framework emphasizes adaptive policy design, capacity building, and equitable benefit-sharing, offering practical insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers seeking to reconcile energy needs with ecological protection in coastal regions.

However, motivation is not able to significantly mediate the relationship between work discipline or workload and employee performance at KSP Semarak Dana Mojokerto.

This study aims to analyze in depth the influence of business legality on the growth and increased competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Business legality is seen as a crucial foundation in strengthening the position of MSMEs in the market, as it not only provides legal certainty but also fosters consumer trust in the quality of the products offered. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as field observations, in-depth interviews with business actors, and relevant documentation studies. The results show an increase in public awareness of the importance of having business legality, as evidenced by the increasing number of MSMEs officially registering their business permits. Furthermore, legality has been proven to increase the credibility of MSMEs, expand market access, facilitate collaboration with the private sector and government agencies, and open up opportunities for obtaining capital support. A significant increase in consumer trust is also evident, as MSME products with legality are more easily accepted and marketed through various distribution channels. Thus, this study confirms that business legality is not merely an administrative requirement, but rather a strategy that can encourage sustainable business growth and increase competitiveness at the local and national levels. In conclusion, the synergy between MSMEs and the government is the main key in encouraging the creation of a healthy, transparent, and highly competitive business ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. The factors examined include village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation. Development, in general, can be defined as efforts to enhance the productivity of resources owned by a region, such as natural resources, human resources, and financial resources. However, development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village faces challenges, namely changes in economic structure and land use conversion, which impact the regional development. This research employs a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent variables (village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation) and the dependent variable (village development success). The data used are secondary time series data collected annually from 1995 to 2024. Data were gathered through literature review by obtaining information from credible official sources, including government agencies, the Central Bureau of Statistics, and the Kesiman Kertalangu Village Office. Data analysis was conducted using Eviews 12 software. The results indicate that village institution revenue, labor force, investment, and community participation simultaneously have a significant effect on the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Moreover, labor force, investment, and community participation have a positive and significant partial effect on development success, while village institution revenue has a positive but not significant partial effect. The findings also reveal that investment is the most dominant factor influencing the success of development in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. Theoretically, the finding that investment has a dominant influence on the success of Kesiman Kertalangu Village development strengthens the Solow growth model, Robert Chambers' participatory theory, and Amartya Sen's capacity building concept. Practically, the research results provide strategic direction for village governments and stakeholders in designing participation- based development policies, increasing fiscal capacity, and empowering local workers.

This study aims to analyze the responsibilities of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the state in implementing restitution for victims of sexual violence, particularly when the perpetrators are unable to pay or are sentenced to death. The background of this research lies in the weak implementation of restitution, which should be a fundamental right of victims, as illustrated by the case of Herry Wirawan based on the Bandung High Court Decision Number 86/Pid.Sus/2022/PT Bdg. The research addresses two main problems: (1) how the state and LPSK ensure the victims’ rights to restitution under such circumstances, and (2) what obstacles hinder the implementation of restitution based on the decision. The study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case study approach. The findings show that the implementation of restitution still faces serious obstacles, such as the absence of technical mechanisms, the lack of designated executing institutions, and the lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. LPSK plays a role in proposing and calculating restitution amounts but lacks execution authority. Moreover, the state has not yet fulfilled its role as the ultimate guarantor for victims when the perpetrator is unable to comply. In conclusion, Indonesia’s legal system needs to strengthen technical regulations, ensure inter-agency coordination, and affirm the state's role as a guarantor of restitution to achieve meaningful restorative justice for victims of sexual violence
