Employees at the Wajo Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office are part of the public bureaucracy at the district/city level who have important responsibilities in carrying out service functions to the public. Based on initial observations, it appears that the implementation of management functions and employee work creativity are still not optimal. This is primarily related to the implementation of management functions in creating a dynamic work atmosphere and in terms of making the best use of time. Effective management is essential to ensure that public organizations can achieve their goals efficiently and innovatively. This study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of management functions on employee work creativity at the Wajo Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office. The study population was all employees at the office, using a survey method and an associative quantitative approach. This technique was chosen to obtain an objective picture of the relationship between management variables and work creativity. The results show that the management functions variable, based on respondents' responses, is in the very good category. Meanwhile, the employee work creativity variable is in the good category. The findings indicate that the proper application of management functions can significantly foster employee creativity. Based on statistical testing, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of management functions has a positive and significant impact on employee creativity at the Wajo Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office. This research provides practical implications: public organizations need to strengthen the implementation of management functions, such as planning, organizing, directing, and controlling, to continuously improve employee creativity.

This study aims to analyze and describe the regulation of furniture business permits in Alak District, Manutapen Village, Kupang City, within the framework of regional and national legal provisions. Business permits are a vital aspect of legality, providing legal certainty and protection for entrepreneurs. Despite this importance, many wooden furniture businesses continue to operate without official permits. Several factors contribute to this issue, including limited knowledge of regulatory requirements, inadequate access to facilities and administrative services, and the perception among entrepreneurs that small-scale businesses do not necessarily require permits. This research adopts an empirical approach, employing semi-structured interviews with local furniture business owners who have not yet obtained permits. The findings reveal that although the government has made efforts to disseminate information and promote the importance of business permits, these initiatives have not been fully effective. Many entrepreneurs remain unaware of the legal obligations and the potential benefits that permits can provide, such as protection against legal disputes and opportunities for broader business development. The study further identifies both positive and negative impacts of the furniture industry in the local community. On the positive side, furniture businesses significantly contribute to household income, create new job opportunities, and foster creativity through innovative craftsmanship. On the negative side, they also cause environmental issues such as waste and pollution, reduce agricultural land due to the expansion of workshops, and influence lifestyle changes within the community. Based on these findings, the study concludes that the government must strengthen its role by enhancing outreach and education programs, simplifying the permit application process, and providing better support services to entrepreneurs. Additionally, active participation from business owners is crucial to ensure compliance with legal frameworks and to achieve a sustainable balance between economic growth, social welfare, and environmental preservation.

This study aims to examine creative strategies for fiction writing involving collaboration between humans and AI (ChatGPT) in the Kompasiana blogger community in Semarang. Using a qualitative approach, this study collected data through in-depth interviews with four informants active in AI-assisted fiction writing. The interviews revealed a shift in the role of AI, where AI no longer functions solely as a technical tool but rather as an imaginative partner collaborating with writers in the creative process. During the writing process, writers negotiated with AI regarding style and story structure, and reflected deeply on their creative process. They also faced ethical dilemmas, particularly regarding the originality and authenticity of their work, arising from the use of AI technology. While AI writers provided new ideas and inspiration, they also demanded further considerations regarding copyright and author credibility. These findings were analyzed using the theories of Extended Mind, Distributed Cognition, and Reflective Practice to understand the dynamics of human-machine interaction in a creative context. This study proposes a dialectical and symbiotic model of creative interaction, in which writers and AI influence each other in producing fictional works. This model emphasizes that AI-assisted fiction writing is not just about efficiency in producing work, but also a process of redefining creative agency. This research demonstrates how human-machine collaboration in digital literacy can change our perspective on creative roles and ethics in the world of writing. Furthermore, this research explores the impact of AI use on the learning process of writers within the blogging community. AI, in this case ChatGPT, not only contributes to the final product but also plays a role in broadening the writer's insight into writing techniques, idea exploration, and character development.

Ecoprint is one of the activities of making batik through the process of transferring color and shape to fabric through direct contact. Ecoprint training was chosen because it was based on the discovery that there were many natural resources that had not been utilized, which was one of the reasons for conducting ecoprint training. In supporting the village's creative economy by utilizing natural resources, ecoprint is one solution that can be implemented. Apart from being able to provide ecoprint training experience, it can be used as an example of a business that supports the village economy. This training uses material delivery and discussion methods, a participatory approach and local potential.  The results of this training were to increase the experience and skills of the PKK mothers of Beringin Makmur village regarding ecoprinting. PKK mothers can find out how to make Ecoprint and can apply it at home. Another hope is that mothers can still produce work even though they are stuck at home. Apart from that, the participation method applied not only adds to the learning experience, but also builds a social environment that supports business development. Thus, this activity contributes to community economic empowerment and environmental preservation through creativity and innovation in the use of natural materials found around.

Eco-Play is a creative learning activity designed for elementary school students to introduce the concept of environmental sustainability through the activity of coloring and recycling plastic bottles into plant pots.
