This study aims to describe the condition of clean water access and its impact on public health in Swadaya Village. The research employed a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with household heads, community leaders, health workers, and local water managers. The findings reveal that access to clean water in Swadaya Village remains very limited. Most residents rely on dug wells and river water for daily needs, while only a small portion use water from the local water utility (PDAM) due to high installation costs and limited pipeline coverage. The water quality often decreases during the dry season, becoming cloudy, odorous, and causing skin irritation. These conditions contribute to the increasing incidence of waterborne diseases such as skin infections, diarrhea, and typhoid fever. Besides infrastructure limitations, the lack of community awareness regarding hygiene and sanitation practices worsens the situation. Although the village government has proposed clean water development programs, their implementation has been hampered by budget constraints. The study concludes that clean water problems in Swadaya Village are not only related to resource availability but also to environmental management and community behavior. Therefore, improving water infrastructure must be accompanied by community education to promote a healthy, safe, and sustainable living environment.

Early childhood (0–6 years) is a critical period in human development, often referred to as the golden age, during which all aspects of development, including language and vocabulary, grow rapidly. However, based on preliminary observations at TK Merpati, Simpang Sungai Rengas District, the vocabulary skills of children aged 4–5 years were still relatively low. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of papercraft puppet media in improving the vocabulary skills of children aged 4–5 years at TK Merpati, Simpang Sungai Rengas District. The research employed a classroom action research design conducted in three cycles. The subjects consisted of 17 children aged 4–5 years. Data were collected through observation sheets, and data analysis was carried out by comparing the percentage of children’s vocabulary achievement before and after the implementation of the papercraft puppet media in each cycle. The results indicated a significant improvement in children’s vocabulary skills. In the pre-action stage, children’s achievement was categorized as Not Yet Developed (NYD) with a percentage of 30%. In Cycle I, the percentage increased to 50% (Beginning to Develop). In Cycle II, it further improved to 76% (Developed as Expected). In Cycle III, the results reached 95% (Very Well Developed). These findings demonstrate that papercraft puppet media is effective in enhancing vocabulary development in early childhood.

Using a systematic literature review approach to various previously published studies, this research investigates the influence of consumer nationalism on the intention to purchase domestic products. The purpose of this study is to find patterns of results, influencing components, and the impact of consumer nationalism on their behavior when purchasing local products. Data were collected from articles in relevant national and international journals, particularly those discussing ideas about consumer nationalism, consumer ethnocentrism, and factors determining purchase intention. The findings of the study indicate that consumer nationalism has a positive and significant effect on consumers' intention to purchase domestic goods. A number of variables, including product quality perceptions, price sensitivity, cosmopolitanism levels, and consumer demographics, especially Generation Z, who tend to be involved in the digital world, influence this effect. In addition, this study found that customer awareness, attitudes, and preferences towards local products are influenced by social media and digital campaigns such as the Bangga Buatan Indonesia (Proudly Made in Indonesia) program. The results of this study provide strategic benefits for businesses when they develop marketing plans based on the value of nationalism. These results can also be used as a reference for public policies aimed at increasing consumption and competitiveness of domestic products through the implementation of such policies.

Collaborative governance is a decision-making approach that brings together multiple stakeholders to work toward a shared objective. This study aims to describe the collaborative governance process in poverty alleviation through the Tasik Bageur Program in Tasikmalaya City. Poverty in the city is a multidimensional issue that affects social, economic, and environmental aspects of community life. In response, the Tasikmalaya City Government initiated this program as a collaborative effort involving government institutions, private sector actors, and academic organizations. The program is implemented every Wednesday and is designed to foster cooperation and mutual support in addressing poverty-related needs.Although the program has succeeded in attracting participation from several private and academic actors, this study identifies a major challenge: the number of poor residents remains significantly higher than the number of collaborating partners. This imbalance limits the amount and diversity of assistance provided and reduces the program’s overall effectiveness.This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the collaborative process within the Tasik Bageur Program has not yet reached optimal implementation. Limited understanding and low awareness among private-sector actors hinder broader participation. As a result, the gap between community needs and the available collaborative resources remains substantial.

The implementation of the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy presents challenges for hospitals in ensuring equitable service delivery. Organizational readiness depends not only on adequate physical infrastructure but also on an adaptive organizational culture and strong clinical leadership to guide change. As a referral hospital, RS BM must ensure alignment across organizational components to meet KRIS standards sustainably. This study analyzes the influence of infrastructure quality and clinical leadership on organizational readiness for KRIS implementation, with organizational culture as an intervening variable. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 136 healthcare and medical personnel working in the inpatient units of RS Bhakti Mulia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to examine relationships among variables. Infrastructure quality and organizational culture significantly and positively affect organizational readiness. Clinical leadership, while not directly influencing readiness, has a significant positive effect on organizational culture. KRIS readiness at RS BM is shaped by infrastructure quality, clinical leadership, and organizational culture, with culture acting as the main mediator. The hospital shows strong readiness but still faces gaps in progress monitoring, inpatient room layout and privacy, leadership direction, and team participation. Strengthening monitoring mechanisms, improving room design according to KRIS standards, enhancing clinical leadership capacity, and fostering a collaborative organizational culture are essential to support comprehensive and sustainable KRIS implementation

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in multicultural education within the Integrated Islamic School (SIT) Al-Ftih environment. Nusantara Islam, as a religious concept characterized by moderation, tolerance, and accommodating local culture, has high relevance in developing education that respects diversity.Meanwhile, multicultural education emphasizes equality, inclusivity, and recognition of students' cultural identities.This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation, and its validity was tested through triangulation. The study results indicate that the integration of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in SIT Al-Fatih Sukabumi remains partial, primarily limited to thematic religious activities and has not yet systematically addressed the curriculum, pedagogy, or school culture. Supporting factors for implementation include the availability of local culture, support from some teachers, and religious moderation policies. Inhibiting factors include a lack of teacher training, the dominance of Middle Eastern Islamic references, and a lack of multicultural evaluation instruments.This study concludes that a comprehensive implementation model that integrates Islam Nusantara into the curriculum, learning, and school culture is needed. Recommendations include developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for religious moderation based on local wisdom, teacher training, and developing evaluation instruments for the internalization of Islam Nusantara values.

Globalization and the penetration of digital culture have accelerated the homogenization of values, which has weakened the cultural identity and social character of the younger generation. This condition places local wisdom as a source of values that not only needs to be preserved but also systematically transformed in education. This article offers a critical analysis of the integration of local wisdom in character education as a mechanism for social transformation. Using a structured literature review approach, this study analyzes the concept of local wisdom, the role of teachers as agents of cultural preservation, the challenges of implementation in the context of modern education, and strategic models for integrating local values into the curriculum and school culture. The findings show that local values such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), tepa selira (harmony), Tri Hita Karana (harmony between humans, nature, and the divine), Silih Asah Asih Asuh (mutual encouragement, love, and care), ABS-SBK (mutual respect, honesty, and integrity), and various traditional philosophies of the archipelago have proven effective in strengthening students' social character, enhancing social cohesion, and strengthening national identity. However, obstacles such as the dominance of global culture, low cultural literacy among teachers, and weak national curriculum support are significant hindrances. This article proposes a three-layer integrative model of contextual curriculum, culture-based pedagogy, and participatory school culture as a strategy for transforming social values that are adaptive to the challenges of the digital age. The conclusion emphasizes that character education based on local wisdom is not only an instrument for cultural preservation but also a strategic framework for building social resilience and national identity amid rapid global change.
