This article aims to analyze Semarang's city diplomacy in solving environmental problems. Cities have an increasingly large role to play in this globalization era due to complex global issues, especially environmental issues. Cities are also having difficulty dealing with globalization due to the speed of population growth, economic pressures, excessive land use, and the increasing use of motor vehicles that release pollutants into the air. To address these issues, cities around the world are doing their best to find cooperative solutions through diplomacy. In addition, many national capitals cannot handle multiple tasks and, therefore, need to delegate some of their burden to other cities. In line with these objectives, this study utilizes an exploratory and descriptive qualitative research method, focusing on Semarang's diplomacy efforts. This study found that the Semarang city government has been perceived as an institution with clear political objectives that is fully committed to the practice of city diplomacy to engage directly, albeit in a limited way, in multilateral and bilateral international cooperation to find solutions to its environmental problems. The city government is no longer seen as an object of implementation of program plans formulated at the central level but also has the opportunity to formulate strategic plans or bottom-up procedures based on the needs of local communities and the suitability of the model with environmentally sustainable urban development.

Sexual harassment is a behavior with sexual connotations that is done without the consent of the intended person, including various forms such as physical, verbal, and non-verbal. In Indonesia, verbal sexual harassment such as catcalling is common but less recognized by society. Catcalling, which is often directed at women, is often considered trivial and not seen as a form of criminal offense. In fact, this act can have a serious psychological and emotional impact on the victim. Although there is still a lack of understanding about the Sexual Violence Law, it is hoped that this law can provide legal protection for victims. The Criminal Code (KUHP) also regulates crimes of decency, but non-physical sexual harassment has not been specifically regulated, making law enforcement difficult. The problem of lack of legal awareness and the lack of regulations related to verbal sexual harassment are the main obstacles in providing protection to victims. From the above problems, the formulation of the problem to be sought is how the implementation of the law against the perpetrators of catcalling and whether the criminal law in Indonesia has been good enough in dealing with the criminal act of catcalling as a form of sexual harassment. This research was conducted using qualitative methods and inductive research, and research using deductive methods, and using an empirical juridical approach.

Education is important for the lives of people in a country. In order to create an educational system that is organized and has a vision, a policy in the form of a curriculum is needed. In a country that adheres to a democratic system, it is necessary to involve or participate the community in the policy formulation and implementation process. This policy paper investigates the Merdeka Curriculum policy model created and implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Public policy models include top-down, bottom-up and a combination of the two.

This study aims to analyze community participation in village development in T’eba Village and T’eba Timur Village, Biboki Tanpah Subdistrict, Timor Tengah Utara Regency, and to identify the factors that hinder it. Village development is one of the key elements in improving community welfare. However, low community participation poses a challenge that hampers the achievement of inclusive and sustainable development goals. T’eba Village exhibits a higher level of community participation compared to T’eba Timur Village, yet both face challenges that affect the success of their development. The research methodology employed is empirical juridical with socio-legal and conceptual approaches. Primary data were obtained through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, while secondary data were sourced from official documents and related literature. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive techniques to interpret the research findings. The results show that community participation in T’eba Village reached 82.61%, whereas in T’eba Timur Village, it was only 30.44%. This disparity is attributed to higher community awareness in T’eba Village and better support from the village government in engaging the community. Factors hindering community participation include educational disparities, a lack of awareness about the importance of village development, economic conditions prioritizing subsistence needs, and community perceptions of the effectiveness of the village government. For example, residents of T’eba Timur Village are less involved because they feel that development programs do not directly benefit their livelihoods, particularly in agriculture, which is their primary occupation. This study recommends enhancing community involvement through education, economic empowerment, and strengthening the capacity of village governments to create inclusive and transparent participatory mechanisms. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for coordination between the community and village governments to formulate development policies that are more responsive to local needs. With this approach, village development can become more relevant, sustainable, and impactful for the community.

This type of research is empirical juridical, namely the researcher obtains research data directly from related parties or agencies. The population in this study consisted of 2 Village Heads, 4 Hamlet Heads, 6 RT Heads, 4 RW Heads and 10 community members. After the data was obtained, the researcher will group the data based on the data source and analyze it to get answers to the problem formulation in this study. The results of the study indicate that (1) the implementation of the duties and authorities of the Village Head has not been running well. This is evidenced by the community who still do not feel peace and order in the environment. The Village Head must conduct more routine socialization on how to maintain peace and order to the community. (2) The inhibiting factors for the Village Head in carrying out the duties and authorities of maintaining peace and order, namely there are still many riots, fights between martial arts schools and the lack of facilities and infrastructure provided, to support the creation of peace and order in the community. The author's suggestion in this study is that the Village Head must conduct more frequent socialization and increase motivation to the community to maintain peace and order in their environment. This can be done through religious activities involving young people, thus encouraging them to do more positive activities rather than activities that disturb the peace of other communities.

Legal protection for daily cooperatives is very important to ensure that their duties are carried out fairly, in accordance with applicable regulations, and without violating the rights of cooperative members. However, in the implementation of this task, there are often unwanted situations, such as violent crimes that can threaten the safety and integrity of daily cooperative employees. The inability to pay debts can trigger emotions and frustration on the part of borrowers, which in turn can trigger acts of violence against daily cooperative employees in the city of Kupang. Based on the above background, the following problem formulation is proposed: (1) What are the factors that encourage the occurrence of acts of violence against cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties? (2) What is the form of legal protection provided by the government to cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties?. This research was carried out in Kupang City, precisely at the PNM Mekaar Office, Kelapa Lima Kupang Branch. This research is an empirical legal research, which is carried out with a legislative approach and a case approach. The data were analyzed in a descriptive-qualitative manner. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was obtained that: (1) factors that encourage acts of violence against cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties, including: (a) Internal factors, including; (a) morality and education, (b) low consumer income factors, (c) consumer economic pressure, (d) uncontrolled emotions, (e) the influence of alcohol. b) External factors, including; (a) risky environmental factors, (b) social factors. (2) Forms of legal protection provided by the government to cooperative employees when carrying out collection duties, including: (a) Preemptive protection: can mean taking preventive measures. (b) Preventive Protection: This protection involves various policies, regulations, and mechanisms. (c) Repressive protection: actions taken to address, stop, or punish unlawful acts. The author's advice is to report the incident of violence to your superior, cooperative management, or the authorities as soon as possible. Make sure to follow the cooperative's internal procedures related to complaints and handling of violence.

Amanna Gappa is the third Matoa of Wajo. He formulated a maritime law known as Amanna Gappa, which was enacted in 1676. This law discusses the rules for trading and sailing during that time. Three hundred years later, a modern maritime law was established, known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The research method used is qualitative research utilizing secondary data through literature studies such as documents, articles, reports, scientific journals, and internet sites. The collected data is then analyzed to produce descriptive information presented by the author in the form of sentences and words that support explanations related to the research.The laws within Amanna Gappa's maritime law consist of 21 articles and cover various matters, both technical and non-technical. It outlines efforts to achieve welfare on board ships, detailing the rights and obligations of everyone involved. This is quite similar to UNCLOS; however, its orientation is more towards the state, focusing on how UNCLOS seeks to regulate national welfare at sea. The values that continue to be upheld in current maritime law emphasize that regulations should be made as much as possible for the sake of welfare and justice. Moreover, both ancient and contemporary maritime laws prioritize common interests through deliberation in establishing these rules.

With increasingly sophisticated technological developments, all sales and purchase transactions can be carried out online through various platforms including websites, social media, e-commerce and other platforms. However, online transactions can cause legal problems. One of the legal problems that often involves the sale and purchase agreement between the seller and the buyer is a breach of contract. Court Decision Number 629/Pdt.G/2020/PN Jkt.Sel is one of the cases of online sale and purchase breach involving Celvin as the buyer as the Plaintiff with Satrya as the owner of the brand "Namastudios" as the Defendant. This article raises the formulation of the problem regarding the legal remedies available to the injured party in the case of an obligation in the decision Number 629/Pdt.G/2020/PN Jkt.Sel involving default in online buying and selling transactions and the implications of the decision Number 629/Pdt.G/2020/PN Jkt.Sel on consumer protection in online buying and selling transactions in Indonesia.  

This study aims to analyze legal protection for female workers who are laid off (PHK) and to find solutions to obstacles in providing legal protection for female workers who are laid off (PHK). The methodology used in this study is normative legal research, while the research approach used is a legislative approach where the relevant laws and decrees are sought and studied, and other decisions related to the legal issues being studied are matched by discussing thoughts and lessons or teachings in the field of law, and matching the formulation of the problem based on cases in the world of work related to the material being discussed. The results of the study indicate that various legal instruments, both national and international, have regulated protection for female workers, especially in situations of layoffs. Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) which has been ratified by Law No. 7 of 1984 have provided a clear legal basis regarding the prohibition of layoffs against women on the grounds of pregnancy, childbirth, or marriage. In addition, compensation and industrial dispute resolution are also regulated to ensure that the rights of female workers are protected. However, there are still gaps in the implementation of this legal protection, especially related to the lack of knowledge of workers regarding their rights and the uneven implementation of policies in various industrial sectors. Implementation obstacles in regulating the legal protection of female workers, namely work agreements that are not in accordance with regulations, the lack of general sanctions, and workers' ignorance of their rights are obstacles. The state needs to integrate international conventions into national law and ensure that violators receive appropriate sanctions. Many female workers are not yet fully aware of their rights, which hinders effective protection.
