The Great Mosque of Demak is one of the oldest mosques on the island of Java, this mosque was built in the 15th century AD, with a unique architectural style that reflects the acculturation of Hindu-Javanese culture in harmony with Islamic principles. In writing this article, the author uses a qualitative approach method with a descriptive method. This approach was chosen to deeply understand the phenomenon of the form and space of the architecture of the Great Mosque of Demak through direct observation and data analysis. The acculturation of Hindu-Buddhist culture seen in the Great Mosque of Demak is found in the use of the tumpeng concept on its roof which is similar to the shape of a Hindu-Buddhist temple and also the shape of the pillars and the structure of the room are inspired by the Hindu-Buddhist pendopo architecture. Acculturation of Javanese culture is also applied to its roof which is in the form of a three-tiered pyramid, the use of wood as a building material, four main pillars (Saka Guru), Bulus ornaments, and Tajug typology. The Great Mosque of Demak is one of the most prominent examples of cultural and architectural acculturation in Indonesia. This mosque has succeeded in uniting local Javanese elements with Islamic traditions, creating a unique and meaningful building.

The Great Mosque of Demak is one of the most significant Islamic historical heritages on the island of Java. Built in the 15th century by Raden Fatah and Walisongo, this mosque symbolizes the beginning of the glory of Islam in the archipelago. Its distinctive architecture depicts the acculturation of Javanese and Islamic culture, with unique elements such as the three-tiered pyramid roof which symbolizes faith, Islam and ihsan, as well as the "Saka Guru," the four main pillars of the mosque which have deep symbolic value. Saka Guru, including Saka Tatal which was assembled from small pieces of wood by Sunan Kalijaga, reflects the values of unity, strength and creativity within limitations. This tradition shows the important role of the Walisongo in spreading Islam as well as introducing mosque architecture that integrates local traditional and religious values. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection through expert interviews, literature studies and field surveys. The results of the analysis reveal that Saka Guru not only supports the physical structure of the mosque but also represents the spiritual and cultural values passed down to the people of Demak. In this way, the Great Mosque of Demak has become a symbol of the combination of culture, spirituality and architecture which continues to be relevant today.

The development of digital technology has resulted in significant transformation in various aspects of life, especially in the economic sector. A region's ability to obtain, utilize and process information has a major impact in stimulating increased economic growth. Despite technological advancements, not everyone benefits equally. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of digitalization in driving economic growth in a region, by utilizing secondary data from BPS for the period 2015–2022 using the panel data regression method. The research findings show that for smartphone users, the Human Development Index (HDI) has a significant positive impact on economic growth. The number of internet users has a significant negative impact on economic growth. On the other hand, the workforce shows that there is no significant influence on the economic growth of the province of Java.

Indonesia is an agricultural country with great potential in the agricultural sector, both as a source of livelihood and as an economic driver. This sector has an important function in food security, improving farmers' welfare, and preserving the environment. Given Indonesia's regional diversity, it is important to develop policies that suit the agricultural characteristics of each region. This research uses the clustering method, a technique that groups data based on similar characteristics so that objects in one group (cluster) have high similarities, while between clusters they are different. This research applies the clustering method to group provinces in Indonesia based on agricultural sector factors in 2023, using hierarchical and non-hierarchical techniques. The results show that the optimum clusters obtained using both single linkage and K-Means formed five optimal clusters. The Java Island cluster shows high productivity, while Riau, East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan have quite high productivity with minimal labor. The largest clusters have a lot of unmanaged land, increasing employment opportunities. Significant variables influence grouping.

Batam City as a center of industry and trade has a large market The city of Batam, as an industrial and trade hub, holds significant market potential for the utilization of digital technology. While Batam has established infrastructure that facilitates inter-island access, digital transformation has yet to reach the smaller surrounding islands. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains relatively unfamiliar to many communities on islands outside Batam. The objective of this training, organized by the student boarding school of UPN Veteran East Java, is to provide an in-depth understanding of digitalization and AI concepts in digital marketing as a means to support the economy of Batam Island’s communities. This Community Service Program (PKM) is implemented through socialization on AI concepts, the positive potential impacts of AI, and practical AI application workshops, in collaboration with the Director of the SPMAA Batam Foundation and ICT volunteers. The results of this PKM activity indicate a high level of enthusiasm among the community to learn about AI concepts and their use in marketing products on social media. Through this training, it is expected that MSME owners and the entire community on Batam Island will benefit from technological advancements, particularly AI, and that it will support the government’s efforts in promoting equitable digital transformation across Batam Island.

The phenomenon of poverty often occurs in every country, especially in developing countries. The level of poverty in a country depends on two main factors, namely the average level of national income and the width of the income distribution gap. Poverty cannot only be measured through income national per capita because per capita income calculates the average income of people in a country. The high level of per capita national income in a country, if the distribution of income is unequal then the level of poverty in that country cannot be avoided, and vice versa, no matter how equal the distribution of income in a country is, if the average level of national income is low, then poverty will also become more widespread. This research aims to determine the effect of minimum wages, farmer exchange rates, and inflation in the primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector on poverty on the island of Java. This research uses quantitative research methods using secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), using panel data analysis techniques.  In this research, it was found that economic factors such as the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP), and the inflation rate had a significant influence on the poverty level on the island of Java in the 2017-2022 period.

The problems that occurred at MAN 1 Gorontalo City are closely related to the construction work contract agreement whose object is dormitories as one of the programs of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia which is intended for every school with madrasa status throughout Indonesia. Based on the data, it turns out that work that is already 30% in progress can be canceled because unexpected things happen, such as high rainfall in Gorontalo in September 2021 which resulted in work not being able to continue for some time. Apart from that, it turned out that 80% of the workers used by the contractor were Javanese and because the conditions and atmosphere at that time were still during the pandemic, the workers from Java could not go back to Gorontalo because the island of Java was in lockdown status. This is the reason why the Head of Development of Man 1 Dormitory, Gorontalo City, canceled the work contract because of the contract being castrated, in this case there was a target that was not achieved due to the condition of the workers, weather, and so on.

The development of food commodities in Banten province, with geographical conditions where the area is mostly agricultural and with a fairly large population, has an important role, one of which is as a food buffer on the island of Java. Many harvests are distributed directly outside the region, after which they enter the market through distributors and agents, so this is a point of weakness and deficiency for policy makers in regulating and distributing rice commodities. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the rice distribution model using the Powersim application. The method used to create a food policy model/design for Banten province is the Dynamic System. The results of this research are that the output obtained from the rice food distribution model simulation is that each rice stock in the Gapoktan warehouse sends according to the amount requested in each district/city, with a total capacity that can be obtained at the food distribution center of 109,682 tonnes/yr, or 2,742 tons/harvest. Then, after carrying out a simulation model using Powersim software, it can be concluded that the rice food commodity in Banten Province can still meet demand. With the Banten Province Food Distribution Center, it can control the availability of rice.

Java Island is the most disaster-prone region in Indonesia because Java Island is located in a convex zone (meeting each other) between two tectonic plates, namely the Eurasian Plate in the north, and the Indo-Australian Plate which causes the formation of volcanoes and earthquakes. Java Island which is near the convergence zone of these plates causes Java to become a disaster-prone zone, with many volcanoes that often erupt and experience many earthquakes. Volcanoes are formed due to the movement of hot magma from the meeting of plates to the earth's surface. While earthquakes occur due to the instantaneous movement of earth plates.

This research aims to analyze the influence of Regional Original Income (PAD), Special Allocation Funds (DAK), and General Allocation Funds (DAU) on the allocation of capital expenditure budgets on the island of Java. Capital expenditure is an important component in regional budgets that contributes directly to infrastructure development and improving public services. This study uses panel data from districts/cities on Java Island during the 2015-2020 period. The analytical method used is panel data regression with a fixed effects model (FEM) approach to identify the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The research results show that PAD has a positive and significant influence on capital expenditure. This indicates that regions with higher PAD tend to allocate more budget for capital expenditure. Meanwhile, DAK also has a positive and significant effect on capital expenditure, which shows that funds specifically allocated by the central government have succeeded in increasing investment in fixed assets in the regions. On the other hand, DAU was found to have a negative but insignificant effect on capital expenditure, indicating that general funds received from the central government did not directly encourage an increase in capital expenditure. This research provides important implications for regional policy makers in increasing PAD and utilizing transfer funds from the central government more effectively to accelerate the development of infrastructure and public services. Apart from that, the results of this research can also be a reference for further research in the field of regional finance and public budget management.
