The problem addressed in this research is the suboptimal implementation of the Community-Based Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (PAMSIMAS) in Koili Village. The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation of the PAMSIMAS Program based on Donald P. Warwick’s policy implementation theory, which includes organizational capacity, information, support, and the distribution of potential resources. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving informants from the local government, village officials, PAMSIMAS management, and community members, both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. The findings indicate that the PAMSIMAS Program has been implemented; however, it has not yet been fully optimized. Organizational capacity and information dissemination have been implemented, but limitations remain in implementers’ capacity and in the equitable distribution of information. Support from the village government and the community is relatively good; nevertheless, coordination and the distribution of potential resources still need improvement. This research recommends that future researchers examine the implementation of PAMSIMAS on a broader regional scale and incorporate a more in-depth analysis of sustainability and community participation.

In demographic studies, population growth refers to changes in the number of inhabitants over a given period, measured by calculating numerical differences in population size and expressing them within specific time units to illustrate patterns of increase or decline. Based on data from Tembalang District in Figures 2025, the population growth rate in Kedungmundu Village rose by 0.51% between 2016 and 2025, with most residents relying on clean water services provided by PDAM Tirta Moedal as their primary source of drinking water. This study aims to estimate clean water demand based on projected population growth and to design a pipeline network system capable of meeting future needs. The analysis of water demand applies population projection methods, including arithmetic, geometric, and least square approaches, to compare their levels of accuracy, while the clean water distribution network is modeled using EPANET 2.0. One of the main challenges faced by PDAM is that service coverage has not yet been fully optimized. The ten-year projection results indicate that the arithmetic method provides a correlation value closest to 1, estimating a future population of 14,904 people with a total clean water requirement of 3.48 liters per second. To support this projected demand, the proposed network design utilizes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes with diameters of 12, 10, and 8 inches to ensure efficient and sustainable water distribution.

This study investigates the incorporation of Sufi-oriented values into the management practices and production processes of MADA Drinking Water operated by the Ahlus Shafa Wal Wafa Islamic Boarding School Foundation. The research focuses on the Syafi’i ethical concept known as Giti–Gito, which encompasses spiritual and moral values including sincerity, patience, inner richness, holistic physical and spiritual well-being, as well as fairness in sharing resources. The main aim of this study is to examine how these values are implemented within pesantren-based business management and to assess their impact on employees’ work attitudes, leadership styles, and interpersonal relations in the workplace. This research employs a qualitative case study method. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and a review of relevant institutional documents. The findings reveal that the implementation of Giti–Gito values has successfully shaped a work environment grounded in religious ethics, social harmony, and humanistic principles. The Giti aspect strengthens employees’ commitment to sincerity, patience, and accountability in carrying out their responsibilities, while the Gito aspect contributes to enhancing employee welfare and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Although challenges remain in reconciling spiritual values with modern management demands, the integration of both spiritual and professional dimensions has demonstrated its effectiveness in creating a productive, ethical, and sustainable organizational environment.

Production quantity planning is a crucial component in the bottled water industry (AMDK) to ensure that consumer demand is met efficiently. Inaccuracies in determining the amount of production can lead to overproduction and supply shortages, which ultimately leads to increased operational costs and decreased customer satisfaction. This study applies the Sugeno fuzzy logic method to predict the amount of production based on two main variables, namely weekly demand and raw material stock. The analysis stages include the fuzzification process, the preparation of the rule base, inference using the zero-order Sugeno method, and defuzzification using the Weighted Average (WA) method. The data used is synthetic data that represents the operational conditions of the medium-scale bottled water industry. The results show that the Sugeno fuzzy system is able to produce production predictions that are adaptive and responsive to fluctuations in demand and stock availability. This model provides consistent and stable output, so it can help companies in determining the optimal production amount. These findings confirm that Sugino's fuzzy approach can be an effective decision support tool in bottled water production management, especially in the face of uncertainty and variability in market demand.

This study aims to analyze the effect of access to clean drinking water and access to proper sanitation on poverty levels in 18 districts in West Java during 2020–2024. Using a quantitative approach and panel data regression, the study tested the relationship between the two independent variables and poverty as the dependent variable. The results of the analysis showed that access to clean drinking water had a negative and significant effect on poverty, with a regression coefficient of -0.05784 and a p-value of 0.0484 (<0.05). This means that every 1% increase in access to clean drinking water reduces the poverty rate by 0.05784%. Better access to clean water has a direct impact on reducing the economic burden and improving the welfare of the poor. Meanwhile, access to proper sanitation has a negative coefficient of -0.01350, but its effect is not statistically significant (p-value 0.3916> 0.05). This shows that although proper sanitation is important for quality of life and health, in this model its effect on poverty has not been seen to be directly significant. These findings emphasize the importance of expanding access to clean drinking water and sanitation as an effort to alleviate poverty in West Java. Limited access to basic services affects health, productivity, and household expenditure which ultimately worsens poverty. Therefore, local governments need to focus on inclusive and sustainable policies, especially improving basic services such as clean water and health. This study is expected to be a reference for formulating a more effective and comprehensive poverty alleviation strategy in West Java.
