Pasar merupakan bagian penting dalam perkembangan arsitektur pembangunan sebuah kota di Indonesia. Tidak hanya berperan dalam aspek ekonomi, pasar juga berperan dalam aspek sosial budaya masyarakat di wilayahnya. Pentingnya peran pasar tradisional ini direspon pemerintah melalui pelbagai program revitalisasi agar lebih mengikuti konteks zaman dan tidak kalah bersaing dengan jenis pasar yang lain. Namun permasalahan yang baru muncul setelah program revitalisasi dilaksanakan terutama menurunnya transaksi ekonomi dan tingkat keramaian di pasar. Revitalisasi Pasar Prawirotaman menjadi kasus yang diteliti pada permasalahan ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pola perilaku pengguna pasar tradisional untuk mengetahui tingkat optimalisasi fungsi ruang bangunan pasar. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pemetaan perilaku pengguna pasar melalui place-centered mapping dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pola perilaku pengguna memiliki jumlah frekuensi kegiatan berbeda di setiap lantainya dan pemilihan elemen aksesibilitas oleh pengguna bersifat langsung dan terarah sehingga mempengaruhi tingkat optimalisasi fungsi ruang.

Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi blockchain dan arus globalisasi telah mendorong penggunaan Bitcoin di Indonesia, yang kini diakui sebagai komoditas dalam perdagangan berjangka. Namun, karakteristik anonimitas dan desentralisasi mata uang digital ini membuka celah signifikan bagi kemunculan cybercrime, seperti pencucian uang dan peretasan, yang menuntut perhatian yuridis serius. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak teknologi tersebut terhadap risiko kejahatan siber serta efektivitas regulasi yang berlaku. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan untuk menelaah kerangka hukum terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya dualisme regulasi di Indonesia, di mana Bappebti melegalkan Bitcoin sebagai aset investasi, sementara Bank Indonesia melarangnya sebagai alat pembayaran. Ketidaksinkronan ini, diperparah dengan sifat lintas batas blockchain, menciptakan tantangan dalam penegakan hukum terhadap kejahatan siber. Disimpulkan bahwa harmonisasi regulasi antara otoritas keuangan dan penguatan aturan keamanan siber sangat mendesak dilakukan guna memitigasi risiko kejahatan tanpa menghambat inovasi ekonomi digital.

Diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DMT2) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan global dengan beban ekonomi dan klinis yang sangat tinggi. Beragam pilihan terapi antidiabetes telah tersedia, mulai dari obat konvensional seperti metformin dan sulfonilurea hingga obat generasi baru seperti inhibitor dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4i), agonis reseptor glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 RA), dan inhibitor sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2i). Perbedaan harga dan efektivitas terapi menuntut adanya kajian farmakoekonomi, khususnya cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), untuk mendukung pengambilan keputusan klinis dan kebijakan kesehatan. Literature review ini bertujuan untuk merangkum bukti CEA pada berbagai obat antidiabetes yang dipublikasikan dalam lima tahun terakhir, baik di Indonesia maupun internasional. Hasil telaah menunjukkan bahwa obat generasi baru umumnya memberikan manfaat klinis yang lebih baik, terutama dalam pencegahan komplikasi kardiorenal, namun biaya yang lebih tinggi sering menjadi kendala dalam penilaian efektivitas biaya. Sementara itu, obat konvensional tetap menjadi terapi yang relatif cost-effective pada banyak konteks, terutama di negara berpendapatan menengah. Perbedaan hasil antarstudi sangat dipengaruhi oleh harga obat, perspektif analisis, serta asumsi manfaat jangka panjang. Kajian ini menegaskan pentingnya evaluasi farmakoekonomi dalam menentukan pilihan terapi yang rasional dan efisien untuk pasien DMT2.

Pertumbuhan kawasan industri sebagai dampak urbanisasi turut mendorong peningkatan aktivitas ekonomi di Indonesia. Kawasan Industri Candi di Kota Semarang menjadi salah satu contohnya, namun belum sepenuhnya ditunjang oleh infrastruktur yang memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi tingkat kepuasan dan prioritas pemenuhan infrastruktur berdasarkan persepsi pekerja. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui survei terhadap 100 pekerja dari 111 perusahaan, dengan teknik multi-stage random sampling. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Customer Satisfaction Index dan Importance Performance Analysis. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dari total infrastruktur yang dianalisis, sebelas telah memenuhi standar, empat cukup memenuhi, dan satu belum memenuhi pedoman teknis kawasan industri. Tingkat kepuasan pekerja terhadap ketersediaan dan kondisi infrastruktur mencapai 72% (kategori puas), sedangkan tingkat kesesuaian antara kepentingan dan kepuasan sebesar 99%. Meski demikian, lima infrastruktur jaringan jalan, jaringan air bersih, sistem pengolahan sampah, unit pemadam kebakaran, dan sarana Kesehatan masih memerlukan pemenuhan atau perbaikan segera. Temuan ini menjadi dasar rekomendasi bagi pengelola dan pemerintah untuk memprioritaskan pemenuhan infrastruktur, guna mendukung keberlangsungan industri dan kesejahteraan pekerja secara optimal.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of market ethics from the perspective of Islamic economics on the behavior of business actors at Mandiri Jaya Jatimulyo Market, South Lampung Regency. Islamic market ethics are viewed as a moral instrument that guides economic activities to operate fairly, honestly, and oriented toward public welfare. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving business actors actively engaged in daily market transactions. The findings reveal that Islamic market ethical values, such as honesty, transparency, and moral responsibility, have been applied in trading practices; however, their implementation remains partial and largely dependent on individual moral awareness. Religiosity, economic pressure, the social environment of the market, and the level of Islamic economic literacy are identified as key factors influencing ethical behavior. This study concludes that strengthening Islamic market ethics in traditional markets requires a comprehensive approach involving continuous education, the development of an ethical market culture, and institutional support to ensure sustainable internalization of Islamic values.

This study was conducted due to the increasing dependence of consumers on digital information, such as customer reviews and product ratings, in making purchasing decisions on e-commerce platforms, particularly Shopee. Reviews and ratings are considered indicators of trust that can reduce buyer uncertainty, especially among students who actively shop online. However, the prevalence of invalid reviews and inaccurate product information raises doubts in the decision-making process. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the description of customer reviews, product ratings, and purchase interest, as well as to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of customer reviews and product ratings on the purchase interest of students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Nusa Nipa University, Maumere. This study used a quantitative method with an associative approach that aimed to test the causal relationship between the variables of customer reviews (X1), product ratings (X2), and purchase interest (Y). Data were collected through a survey using a Likert scale questionnaire distributed to 94 students selected using the Slovin formula from a total population of 1,473 students of the Faculty of Economics and Business. The data sources consisted of primary data in the form of questionnaire results and secondary data in the form of literature, journals, and supporting documents. The results of the study based on descriptive analysis showed that Customer Reviews, Product Ratings, and Purchase Interest are in the “Good” category. The t-test results showed that, partially, customer reviews (X1) had a significant effect on purchase interest, as indicated by a t-count of Product ratings (X2) were also proven to have a significant effect on purchase interest with a t-value of Simultaneously, both variables contributed 44.1% to purchase interest, while the remaining 55.9% was influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study. The study concludes that reviews and ratings are important sources of information that shape consumer confidence before purchasing. Recommendations include the need for platforms to display verified reviews, improve the quality of rating information, and provide incentives for users who give honest reviews to increase the credibility of information for young consumers.

This study aims to interpret the theological meaning of the practice of sharing in Acts 2:44–47 in relation to the internal economic life of the congregation. The study is motivated by a prevailing understanding of diakonia that tends to position charitable service as an additional activity of the church, without sufficiently relating it to the dynamics of communal fellowship and shared life within the faith community. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, this study conducts a biblical-historical analysis of Acts 2:44–47. The findings indicate that the practice of sharing in the early Christian community represents a form of economic solidarity rooted in communal fellowship and integrated into the congregation’s relational life, rather than merely an incidental act of charity. This economic solidarity possesses theological and contextual limitations and therefore cannot be applied literally to contemporary church contexts without critical reflection. This study contributes to the development of practical theological reflection by positioning the relationship between faith, fellowship, and the economic life of the congregation as an integral component of the understanding of diakonia.  

This study was conducted to review the quality of test items in Business Economics and General Administration subjects using a classical analysis approach. The assessment process included examining validity, reliability, difficulty level, the ability of questions to differentiate student abilities, and the accuracy of distractors. The research approach used was descriptive quantitative, with 32 students from grades XI and XII majoring in Accounting as subjects and 50 multiple-choice questions as instruments. The main focus of this study was to ensure that the evaluation tools used were truly capable of describing students' competency achievements. Data analysis was conducted through observation results and student responses on Google Forms, which were then processed using the Anates Version 4.0 application. The results of the analysis showed that most of the questions had high validity and reliability, good discrimination power, and a moderate level of difficulty. However, the overall quality of the distractors was not good enough, and there were no questions in the difficult category. Overall, the quality of the questions in this subject can be categorized as good and suitable for evaluating the learning of vocational high school students in grades XI and XII.

The economic valuation of natural resources (NR) is an important instrument in supporting evidence-based decision-making, particularly in sustainable environmental management. Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) serves as a primary approach to assess the economic feasibility of programs or policies by integrating all benefits and costs, including non-market values. This article presents a systematic literature review of studies employing CBA for NR valuation during the period 2010–2024, based on searches in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar, using stringent selection criteria. The review findings indicate that CBA has been widely applied in forest management, biodiversity conservation, land rehabilitation, water and air pollution control, and ecotourism development, providing a quantitative depiction of economic feasibility through indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Key challenges were identified in non-market valuation, long-term uncertainty, data limitations, and sensitivity to discount rate assumptions. These findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental valuation methods, conducting comprehensive sensitivity analyses, and adopting multidisciplinary approaches to strengthen the application of CBA in sustainable NR management, while also offering strategic recommendations and directions for future research for policymakers and environmental economics scholars.

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has significantly accelerated the growth of technology startups while simultaneously increasing market concentration among dominant digital platforms. This condition has intensified the implementation of anti-monopoly policies as a regulatory instrument to maintain fair competition. Amid the ongoing global economic crisis extending into 2025, debates have emerged regarding whether anti-monopoly policies foster or hinder innovation among technology startups. This study aims to examine the impact of anti-monopoly policies on technology startup innovation within the context of the global economic crisis. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review and policy analysis. The data are derived from academic journal articles, scholarly books, and official reports issued by international organizations and competition authorities published within the last five years. The analysis is conducted through a descriptive-analytical method by synthesizing key findings related to anti-monopoly policy, technological innovation, digital market dynamics, and global economic conditions. The findings indicate that anti-monopoly policies can create a more equitable competitive environment for technology startups by limiting market dominance and abusive practices by large firms. However, during periods of global economic crisis, the effectiveness of such policies largely depends on regulatory design, consistency of enforcement, and the state’s capacity to balance competition protection with innovation incentives. Overly restrictive policies may suppress investment and startup growth, whereas adaptive and market-responsive regulations can enhance the resilience of technology startup innovation. This study contributes theoretical and policy insights for developing competition law frameworks that are more responsive to the challenges of the digital economy and global economic uncertainty.

Urban waste management remains a major challenge in achieving a clean and sustainable environment, including in Bontoduri Sub-district, Makassar City. Waste banks, as a community-based waste management model, have significant potential to reduce waste generation while creating economic value. However, in practice, the role of waste banks has not been fully optimized due to limitations in institutional capacity, community participation, and managerial practices. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the role of waste banks in promoting a clean and economically valuable environment through participatory and community empowerment approaches. The methods employed included preparation, environmental education and socialization, waste bank management training, institutional mentoring, and activity evaluation. The program involved approximately 30 participants consisting of waste bank managers, local government representatives, and community members. The results indicated an increase in community awareness and understanding of waste segregation, improved managerial and administrative capacities of waste bank operators, and enhanced community participation in waste-saving activities. In addition, waste banks contributed to generating added economic value from household waste and reducing the volume of waste disposed of into the environment and landfills. This activity concludes that strengthening the role of waste banks through education, training, and continuous mentoring can serve as an effective strategy to support sustainable urban waste management based on circular economy principles.
