This study examines the application of restorative justice in traffic accidents during the investigation stage. The main focus of this research is to analyze the regulations and implementation process. The goal is to comprehensively describe how restorative justice policies are regulated by law and how they are practiced in the field, particularly by investigators. The research method used is a juridical- normative method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through literature review and in-depth interviews with relevant parties. The results indicate that restorative justice can be applied in resolving traffic accident cases, especially those resulting in minor losses or minor injuries. This regulation is contained in various regulations, such as Police Regulations and Circular Letters that serve as guidelines for investigators. The implementation process involves mediation between the perpetrator, the victim, and other relevant parties to reach a peaceful agreement. This agreement often includes compensation, an apology, or other mutually agreed-upon forms of reparation. The application of restorative justice aims to restore conditions to normal, restore social relationships, and avoid lengthy formal judicial processes. However, its implementation still faces challenges, such as unequal public legal awareness and the criteria for cases that can be resolved through restorative justice.

Public service is an essential element in the implementation of village governance, aimed at providing direct benefits to the community. In this context, the leadership of the village head plays a strategic role in determining the direction of policies and the effectiveness of services provided to the community. This study aims to analyze the influence of the village head's leadership on the quality of public service in Bongkot Village, referring to Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Service. The research method used is juridical-empirical with a qualitative approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation related to policies and the implementation of public services in the village. The results show that the leadership of the village head in Bongkot Village is participatory and communicative. This leadership is reflected in openness to the aspirations of the community, the utilization of information technology, and the development of human resources to enhance the capacity of village officials. However, challenges remain, such as limited technological infrastructure that hinders more effective public service and the need for capacity building among village officials to carry out their duties more effectively. In conclusion, the leadership of the village head significantly influences the improvement of public service quality. Therefore, it is recommended that continuous training for village heads and their officials be conducted, along with policy support from local governments to create more responsive and efficient village governance.

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

The development of drone technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has presented great opportunities in various sectors, but at the same time opened up new loopholes for potential terrorist attacks. This article analyzes the shift in terrorism attack strategies from traditional manual methods to the use of drone-based autonomous systems and AI. Through a descriptive qualitative approach and literature review, this study explores how this technology is used to improve the effectiveness, anonymity, and scale of attacks. The study also discusses threats arising from AI-based drone swarm capabilities, potential cyberattacks on drone systems, and global regulatory lags in anticipating these threats. In addition, this article offers policy recommendations to strengthen national defense systems against the increasingly complex and automated evolution of terrorism threats. These findings are expected to be an early contribution to the development of counter-terrorism strategies that are adaptive to technological advances.

Penelitian dengan pendekatan inovatif melalui integrasi permodelan 3D dan analisa semiotika untuk dokumentasi dan pelestarian heritage industri gula di Jawa Tengah. Tema Konservasi menjadi hal penting karena pada dasarnya kehadiran Pabrik Gula di era kolonial tidak hanya sekedar memiliki nilai historis dan arsitektur saja, namun merupakan simbol identitas budaya lokal yang terancam kerusakan fisik dan kurangnya pendekatan pelestarian yang holistik. Penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif ini dilakukan melalui pengumpulan data berupa observasi lapangan, wawancara semi terstruktur, dan pemodelan digital dengan perangkat lunak Autodesk Revit. Analisis tematik digunakan untuk memahami terhadap nilai-nilai semantik, sedang analisis visual untuk evaluasi elemen arsitektural pada model 3D. Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan melalui pemodelan 3D dapat merepresentasikan elemen arsitektural pabrik : struktur atap, dinding, dan ornamen khas kolonial, dengan tingkat akurasi yang tinggi. Sedangkan melalui analisisi semiotika dapat diidentifikasi terhadap tiga hal utama, yaitu budaya, sejarah, dan identitas, yang melekat pada arsitektur industri tersebut. Dalam hal ini menekankan arti pentingnya nilai-nilai semantik pada pelestarian dan konservasi bangunan. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara signifikan dalam pengembangan metoda pelestarian bangunan heritage di Indonesia. Hasil dari penelitian dapat diadaptasi guna mendukung kebijakan konservasi dan pendidikan. Penelitian lanjutan dengan mengeksplorasi teknologi yang terjangkau dan melibatkan komunitas sangat disarankan, guna memastikan keberlanjutan pelestarian heritage dimasa depan.
