The Rumah Padat Karya Program in Surabaya City is one of the local government policies to reduce poverty through job creation and empowerment of low-income communities (MBR). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Rumah Padat Karya Program in reducing poverty rates in Surabaya and to assess its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 1 (No Poverty), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). The study employs a formal evaluation approach with a formative evaluation type, given that the program is still ongoing. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed qualitatively. The evaluation was conducted using William N. Dunn’s (2003) criteria, comprising effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The results indicate that the program is fairly effective in reducing poverty and unemployment through local workforce absorption and the productive utilization of previously idle government assets. However, limitations remain, including budget constraints, inter-district facility disparities, weak inter-agency coordination, and suboptimal business mentoring and market access. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the mentoring system, equalize facilities, and enhance cross-sector collaboration so that the program can run more optimally and sustainably.  

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a national priority program aimed at improving students’ nutritional status as part of efforts to enhance the quality of human resources. The success of this program is determined not only by nutritional fulfillment but also by the quality of governance in its implementation. This study aims to analyze the application of Good Governance principles in the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and document analysis involving students, parents, teachers, and personnel from the Jemur Wonosari 1 Nutrition Program Service Unit (SPPG). Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program has reflected most Good Governance principles, particularly in terms of regulatory compliance, equitable service access, implementation effectiveness, and stakeholder coordination. However, improvements are still needed in beneficiary participation, information transparency, evaluation mechanisms, and program feedback systems. These findings provide important implications for strengthening the governance of the Free Nutritious Meal Program to become more participatory, transparent, accountable, and sustainable.

Kampung Batik Okra, located in Kranggan Urban Village, Bubutan District, Surabaya City, represents a community-based creative economy initiative officially inaugurated on 28 December 2022 by the Surabaya City Government. This study aims to analyze the facilitating role of the urban village administration in strengthening the creative economic capacity of residents through the batik industry, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors for community empowerment in Kampung Batik Okra. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Informants were purposively selected, encompassing village government officials, batik group administrators, artisans, and academic facilitators. The findings reveal that the urban village administration performs three principal facilitative roles: (1) facilitation of training and skill enhancement; (2) facilitation of market access and promotion; and (3) facilitation of multi-stakeholder partnerships. These roles contribute significantly to the strengthening of residents’ creative economic capacity, as evidenced by an increase in active artisans, product diversification, and expanded marketing networks. Nevertheless, limited human resource capacity within the village administration, inconsistent community participation, and restricted access to capital remain structural barriers requiring more systemic policy interventions. This research offers a conceptual framework of empowerment-based facilitating roles for urban villages, which may serve as a reference for developing creative economy villages in Indonesian urban areas.

Second, organizational development grounded in Islamic values as the foundation for fostering tolerance and respect for diversity, implemented through curriculum integration, school regulations, teacher role modeling, and collaboration among teachers. Third, career development, which remained primarily focused on academic aspects and had not explicitly incorporated indicators of multicultural competence. Teachers’ multicultural competence at SMA Ta'miriyah was reflected in three main dimensions. In terms of knowledge, teachers acquired understanding through teaching experience, formal education, and training. In terms of attitudes, teachers demonstrated tolerant and inclusive behavior when interacting with students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. In terms of skills, teachers were able to manage classroom diversity harmoniously through adaptive and responsive pedagogical approaches that accommodated students’ differences.

Picky eating behavior is a common feeding problem among preschool-aged children. Children who exhibit picky eating tendencies often reject various types of food, especially new or unfamiliar ones, placing them at risk of an imbalanced intake of macronutrients such as energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Inadequate nutritional intake over the long term may negatively impact a child's nutritional status and growth. This study aims to examine the relationship between picky eating behavior and the adequacy of macronutrient intake including energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates and nutritional status among preschool children at Lab School 1 Kindergarten, State University of Surabaya. This research utilized a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 60 preschool children aged 4–6 years (48–73 months), selected using total sampling. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 37 respondents were included. Data were collected using the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) to assess picky eating behavior, interviews with the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to evaluate macronutrient intake, and anthropometric measurements to determine nutritional status. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed a significant relationship between picky eating behavior and energy intake (p=0.002; r=0.495), fat intake (p=0.002; r=0.502), carbohydrate intake (p=0.006; r=0.443), and nutritional status (p=0.002; r=-0.493) among preschool children at Lab School 1 Unesa. However, no significant relationship was found between picky eating behavior and protein intake (p=0.064; r=0.307).

This study aims to explore the use of English speaking skills by airline operational staff at Indonesia Air Asia at Juanda International Airport, Surabaya. English plays a crucial role in aviation operations, particularly in ensuring effective communication, maintaining service quality, and supporting operational safety in interactions with international passengers, flight crews, and airport stakeholders. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of how English is used in real operational contexts and how staff perceive its importance in their daily responsibilities. The data were collected from ten airline operational staff members through semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically following the qualitative data analysis model proposed by Matthew B. Miles, A. Michael Huberman, and Johnny Saldaña. The findings indicate that speaking skills are the most frequently used English skills in daily airline operations, especially when handling passenger inquiries, boarding procedures, and operational coordination. However, several challenges were identified, including difficulties in understanding diverse accents, limited aviation-related vocabulary, grammatical inaccuracies, and a lack of confidence in spontaneous communication. The study concludes that continuous and context-based English training programs are necessary to support airline operational staff in improving their communicative competence, particularly speaking skills relevant to aviation operations and international service standards.

Adolescents are considered a vulnerable group to nutritional problems because they experience rapid physical growth accompanied by lifestyle changes and unhealthy eating habits. The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among teenagers has become a major public health concern that requires serious attention. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between peer influence, the frequency of eating out, and fast-food consumption habits with the incidence of overweight among students at SMAN 1 Surabaya. The research applied a quantitative approach using an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional method. A total of 81 students participated in the study and were selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, SQ-FFQ forms, and anthropometric measurements, then analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The findings revealed significant associations between peer influence, eating out frequency, and fast-food consumption habits with the occurrence of overweight among adolescents. Students who more frequently consumed meals outside the home and regularly ate fast food showed a greater tendency to experience overweight and obesity. These results indicate that social environments and modern dietary patterns contribute to the increasing prevalence of overweight among adolescents. Therefore, nutrition education and healthy lifestyle promotion should be strengthened through the involvement of schools, families, and peer groups.

This study was conducted in response to the increasingly complex nutritional issues among adolescents, reflected in the coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition within the same population, which are closely associated with dietary consumption patterns. The research aimed to investigate the relationship between diet quality and the nutritional status of students at SMAN 9 Surabaya. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 85 participants selected based on the estimated sample requirement for correlation analysis. Dietary intake data were collected using two non-consecutive 24-hour food recalls and subsequently assessed using the Diet Quality Index for Adolescents (DQI-A). Nutritional status was determined through BMI-for-age calculations in accordance with the World Health Organization standards. Data analysis was performed using correlational testing and Chi-Square analysis to identify differences in proportions. The findings revealed that the respondents’ diet quality remained suboptimal, while most students were categorized as having normal nutritional status, although cases of undernutrition and overnutrition were still identified. A significant association was found between diet quality and nutritional status (p = 0.001), indicating that better diet quality tended to be linked with normal nutritional status. Based on the DQI-A components, dietary quality demonstrated a significant relationship with nutritional status (p = 0.007), whereas dietary diversity (p = 0.597) and dietary equilibrium (p = 0.507) showed no significant associations. These findings highlight that diet quality, particularly food selection patterns, plays an important role in determining adolescent nutritional status. Therefore, improving nutritional conditions requires more intensive nutrition education interventions focusing on healthy food choices, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and controlled intake of sugar, salt, and fat, supported consistently by both individuals and the school environment.

This research is motivated by the low skills of students in writing speech texts, especially in the aspects of structure, idea development, and language use. This study aims to describe the application of infographic media, analyze the differences in writing abilities between the experimental and control classes, and determine student responses. The study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design at SMP Negeri 55 Surabaya. The research sample consisted of class VIII B as the experiment and VIII A as the control. Data collection techniques included observation, pretest and posttest tests, and questionnaires. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test. The results showed that the application of infographic media ran very well. There was a significant difference in the ability to write speech texts between the two classes, with an average posttest score of 78.2 for the experimental class and 69.5 for the control class (sig. 0.000 <0.05). Student responses were also in the very good category. Thus, infographic media is effective in improving students' speech writing skills.

This study aims to analyze the budgeting activities of the Surabaya City Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control and Family Planning Agency (DP3A-PPKB) in supporting stunting reduction, while evaluating policy effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness, and accuracy through William N. Dunn's evaluation framework. A qualitative case study design was utilized, supported by document analysis of planning records, budget realizations, and stunting prevalence data from 2019–2024. Findings reveal that DP3A's budget allocation aligns with the regional development plan and facilitates family-based sensitive interventions. Despite the first-quarter 2025 realization reaching only 9.5% of the total IDR 58.3 billion, strategic programs persisted through cross-sectoral collaboration and adaptive implementation strategies involving multiple stakeholders. The study concludes that DP3A's contributions are indirect, contingent on inter-organizational synergy among regional apparatus units (OPD). Ultimately, stunting reduction success hinges not on budget magnitude alone, but on systemic integration, policy coordination, and sustained collaborative governance across sectors. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening institutional networks to improve program effectiveness and long-term nutritional outcomes for children.
