The development of educational tourism villages is one of the sustainable tourism strategies that integrates learning activities, environmental conservation, and local community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the potential and development strategies of Belawa Village as an educational tourism village in Cirebon Regency. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with managers and community members, and literature review. The results indicate that Belawa Village has strong tourism potential, particularly in educational tourism based on the conservation of the Belawa softshell turtle (Amyda cartilaginea), nature-based tourism, and local cultural tourism. Educational activities such as outing classes, animal introduction programs, environmental education, and cultural arts training have been implemented and fulfill the elements of something to see and something to do in educational tourism. However, the development of this educational tourism village has not yet been optimal due to limitations in destination management, supporting facilities and infrastructure, promotion, and human resource capacity. Therefore, integrated development is required through the packaging of educational tourism attractions, improvement of human resource competencies, provision of supporting facilities, and collaboration among the government, community, academics, and tourism stakeholders. The development of Belawa Village as an educational tourism village has the potential to provide economic, social, and educational benefits while supporting environmental conservation and strengthening local cultural identity.

Reading literacy in early childhood is an important foundation for children's cognitive, language, and social development in subsequent educational stages. Literacy in early childhood can begin through letter recognition, fostering interest in printed materials, enriching vocabulary, and developing oral communication skills. At this stage, the initial skill that needs to be developed is the introduction of written language through reading activities tailored to the child's developmental characteristics. However, early childhood's ability to understand reading literacy shows significant differences, both in terms of interest, ability, and environmental support. This condition indicates that reading literacy understanding in early childhood is not evenly distributed. Therefore, this community service activity aims to provide reading literacy education to early childhood through a fun, interactive, and contextual approach. The activity methods include reading assistance, the use of visual media, and the active involvement of educators and parents. The results of the activity show an increase in reading interest, letter recognition skills, and children's positive responses to literacy activities. This activity is expected to be a sustainable effort to support the strengthening of reading literacy in early childhood education.

Early English mastery is a long-term educational investment that should be supported by instructional approaches aligned with children’s developmental characteristics. This community service program aimed to systematically implement the *English Through Play* approach, enhance English learning interest, and create positive learning experiences for children aged 4–6 years at Samantha English Course. The program was conducted participatorily through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages over eight weeks. The *English Through Play* approach was applied through various activities, including action songs, flashcard games, storytelling with gestures, and simple role play. Evaluation was carried out descriptively through observation of participation, verbal responses, children’s expressions, and simple oral tests to measure basic vocabulary mastery. The results showed that more than 80% of the children were actively engaged during the learning sessions. Approximately 70–85% demonstrated increased learning interest, as reflected in their enthusiasm, verbal participation, and positive responses to English instructions. In addition, most children were able to recognize and pronounce 5–10 basic vocabulary items based on the learning themes and perform simple self-introductions. The program also produced a play-based learning guide that can be sustainably implemented by the partner institution. In conclusion, the *English Through Play* approach proved effective in enhancing young learners’ interest and participation in early English learning. This model can serve as a practical and replicable alternative for similar non-formal educational institutions.

This study discusses the introduction of digital signature patterns using the Backpropagation method on Artificial Neural Network (JST) to identify a person's characteristics and potential. The increasing use of digital identities demands a verification system that is more secure, accurate, and adaptive to the variations of each individual's signature. The main problem faced in the signature recognition system is the low level of accuracy when the visual features of the signature have similarities between users, both in terms of shape, size, and stroke pressure. In addition, variations of signatures made by the same individual are also a challenge in the identification process. As a solution, this study implements Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to extract important features from the signature image before the training process using JST. PCA is used to reduce the data dimension so that the learning process becomes more efficient and optimal. A total of 80 signature images were used in this study, consisting of 60 training data and 20 test data. The results showed that the system was able to achieve an accuracy level of 92.5%. These findings prove that the combination of PCA and JST methods is effective in recognizing digital signature patterns and has the potential to be applied to digital security-based biometric identification systems.

This study examines the crisis communication strategies of the JKT48 Operational Team (JOT) following the 2025 “No Encore” incident, which emerged after the viral circulation of an inappropriate photo involving the group’s General Manager and escalated into a major reputational crisis. The controversy triggered strong fan backlash and culminated in the symbolic withdrawal of support during the Full House 2025 concert. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research analyzes organizational responses through interviews with fans, observations of social media interactions, and documentation of official statements. Data were interpreted using thematic analysis and compared with the principles of the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). The findings show that JOT’s initial clarification was perceived as slow and insufficient, contributing to heightened dissatisfaction and crisis escalation. However, the second clarification and the introduction of FanSpace, a structured two-way dialogue forum, marked a shift toward more transparent and participatory communication. Fan responses indicate that FanSpace helped reduce tensions and demonstrated managerial willingness to listen, though full trust recovery requires consistent follow-up actions. This study highlights the importance of speed, openness, and dialogic engagement in crisis communication within fan-based entertainment industries. The implications emphasize that organizations must adopt adaptive, audience-centered communication strategies to rebuild legitimacy and restore public trust after preventable crises.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the introduction of the Pendet Dance in the Markandeya–Walailak cultural exchange program and to evaluate its effectiveness as a cross-cultural character education tool. To investigate program design, execution, and results, the study used a descriptive qualitative approach backed by the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. During the cultural exchange activities, information was gathered through participant reflection, documentation, and observation. The results show that the program effectively combined the principles of character education with conventional performing arts. Thai students showed greater appreciation, tolerance, respect, and empathy for cultural diversity as well as a deeper comprehension of the Pendet Dance's meaning, symbolism, and cultural value. In addition, Indonesian students who served as facilitators saw improvements in their discipline, self-assurance, cultural adaptability, and communication abilities. The exercise emphasizes how traditional performing arts can be a powerful tool for international engagement and cultural diplomacy. All things considered, the program shows that cultural exchange programs can make a significant contribution to global character education, and it is advised that comparable projects be maintained and developed in subsequent international education partnerships.

This study explores the Village Cross as a symbol of inculturation, integrating Catholic faith with the Nosu Minu Podi ritual in Dusun Perintis, Balai Sebut Village, Sanggau Regency. Nosu Minu Podi, a post-harvest rice ritual, originally centered on the ancestral statue (Pantak) as the main focus of worship. The introduction of Catholicism led to a symbolic transformation, replacing the Pantak with the Village Cross while maintaining ancestral values and harmonizing them with Catholic practices. This research uses a qualitative approach combining ethnography and contextual theology. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and field documentation. Findings reveal that the Village Cross serves dual functions: as a religious symbol affirming God’s presence and spiritual protection, and as a marker of social and cultural identity. This transformation strengthens community solidarity, preserves traditional practices, and provides a medium for faith formation among youth. The study highlights that inculturation enables the integration of local traditions with religious teachings, creating space for contextual, inclusive, and practical pastoral approaches. It contributes to scholarly understanding of the interplay between religion, culture, and community identity, emphasizing the enduring relevance of local wisdom in contemporary religious practice.

Islamic Religious Education plays a pivotal role in the formation of students’ character, particularly within the setting of vocational health education. In light of the introduction of the Love-Based Curriculum initiated by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, there is a pressing need for instructional strategies that effectively integrate the values of love, compassion, tolerance, and empathy into PAI teaching. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive description and critical analysis of the love-oriented PAI learning model implemented at SMK Kesehatan Athalla Putra Palembang, while also examining the challenges encountered and the solutions undertaken in its execution. The research adopts a qualitative field study approach, with data collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, as well as document analysis. The findings indicate that several strategies have been employed, including interactive lectures, collaborative group discussions, socially oriented project-based learning, and the utilization of media designed to promote compassion. The successful implementation of the Love-Based Curriculum in this context is shaped by factors such as teacher competence, institutional support, and the adequacy of educational facilities. Nevertheless, a number of obstacles were identified, namely time constraints, limited professional training for teachers, and resistance to pedagogical change. Despite these challenges, the applied strategies proved to be effective in enhancing both student motivation and character development. Accordingly, it is recommended that the institution reinforce teacher professional development programs, establish a more structured syllabus, and institutionalize love-based values within both assessment practices and the broader school culture.

Law Number 51 of 2009 represents a pivotal milestone in strengthening the authority of the Indonesian Administrative Court (PTUN), particularly regarding the executorial aspects of its decisions, which were previously considered weak and insufficient in providing adequate legal protection for the public. This study aims to examine and analyze the executorial power of PTUN decisions following the enactment of the regulation, with a focus on the effectiveness of decision enforcement, the obstacles encountered, and the implications for governance based on the principles of the rule of law. Employing a normative juridical approach supported by analyses of literature, legislation, and selected court decisions, this research demonstrates that Law 51/2009 has brought significant progress, especially through provisions requiring administrative officials to comply with court rulings, the introduction of administrative sanctions, and the application of dwangsom as a coercive measure. However, its effectiveness remains suboptimal due to several persistent challenges, including weak oversight of officials who fail to implement decisions, the limited application of sanctions in practice, and a bureaucratic culture that tends to be unresponsive to judicial authority. Additionally, disharmony among sectoral regulations and insufficient inter-agency coordination further hinder the executorial function of PTUN.
