This study is motivated by the escalation of mass protests in Pati Regency throughout 2025, triggered by significant increases in Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) rates and prolonged agrarian disputes in the Kendeng Mountains region. These socio-political tensions indicate weaknesses in public communication governance between local government authorities and local communities. This conceptual article employs an integrative literature review combined with a descriptive-analytical approach to secondary data derived from media transcripts, fiscal policy documents, and legal studies on public order management. The findings reveal that the protests were fundamentally driven by a public communication crisis rather than merely fiscal or agrarian policy issues. The implementation of coercive one-way communication and confrontational rhetoric by government elites undermined relational trust and threatened the communal dignity of citizens. Furthermore, post-crisis apology strategies were perceived as insufficiently authentic when not accompanied by substantive corrective actions. The study concludes that the formal legal validity of local regulations does not guarantee successful implementation without obtaining a community's Social License to Operate (SLO). Therefore, this article proposes the Symmetrical Community Engagement (SCE) framework as a new paradigm for repositioning public sector public relations toward a proactive and participatory approach from the pre-legislative stage to support democratic governance

Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) serves as a vital instrument in supporting regional independence and public welfare. For decades, the Land and Building Tax (PBB) has been one of the primary sources of local revenue; however, excessive dependence on PBB is considered less effective in promoting equitable economic development and enhancing citizens’ economic rights. Forcing PBB increases of hundreds of percent, as has recently occurred in a number of regions such as Pati Regency, Central Java, and dozens of other regions amid the current difficult economic situation, has invited criticism and protests. This policy has been accused of violating human rights. For this reason this study aims to analyze the urgency of exploring alternative local revenue sources beyond PBB, such as local taxes, public service retributions, management of regional assets, and innovative revenue models based on local potential. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature review and fiscal policy analysis at the regional level. The findings indicate that diversification of local revenue sources can strengthen regional fiscal capacity, improve public service delivery, and foster broader community economic participation. By sustainably and transparently developing local potential, local governments can not only enhance community welfare but also uphold the principle of economic justice as mandated by the Constitution. Therefore, optimizing local revenue sources beyond PBB represents a strategic step toward inclusive and equitable regional economic independence.

This study to analyze factors influencing taxpayer compliance in paying Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) in Sragen Regency. Tax compliance is a crucial issue in state revenue, and understanding the factors that influence it is crucial for designing effective tax policies. The independent variables studied are taxpayer awareness, tax socialization, and the tax system, with PBB-P2 taxpayer compliance as the dependent variable. Data were collected from taxpayers in Sragen Regency and analyzed using multiple linear regression methods.   The results of the regression test indicate that not all hypothesized factors have a significant influence on tax compliance. Partially, the variables of taxpayer awareness and the tax system were shown to have a positive and significant influence on compliance with PBB-P2 payments. This indicates that the higher the taxpayer awareness and the better the tax system implemented, the higher the level of taxpayer compliance. Conversely, the variable of tax socialization was found to have no significant effect on taxpayer compliance. This finding suggests that the existing socialization program may not be effective or needs to be re-evaluated to achieve a more tangible impact.   Based on these findings, this study recommends that the local government and tax authorities in Sragen Regency focus more on increasing taxpayer awareness and continuously improving the tax system. Although the socialization program was not statistically significant, it is recommended to review the socialization strategy to make it more targeted and relevant to taxpayer needs. This is expected to improve taxpayer compliance with PBB-P2, which will ultimately have a positive impact on regional revenue.      

The background of this study is based on fluctuations in the realization of PBB in Tuladenggi Village, Telaga Biru Subdistrict, which has not consistently reached its target, even though PBB is an important source of support for local revenue. This condition is caused by low awareness and compliance among taxpayers, limited understanding among the community regarding payment mechanisms, and suboptimal bureaucratic behavior in providing services. The purpose of this study is to describe the behavior of the bureaucracy in PBB services in Tuladenggi Village, Telaga Biru District, with a focus on the aspects of responsibility, responsiveness, and commitment and consistency of village officials. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that bureaucratic behavior in PBB services in Tuladenggi Village is already in place, but it is not yet fully optimal. In terms of responsibility, officials have distributed SPPT and conducted socialization, but the information is often late and unclear. In terms of responsiveness, officials have attempted to adjust their approach to the community's conditions through direct services and personal communication, but some community members feel that some officials are still not proactive enough. In terms of commitment and consistency, village officials have demonstrated their seriousness through administrative record-keeping, routine evaluations, and proactive services, although they still face obstacles.

This research is motivated by the low level of taxpayer compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) in Ngronggot District, Nganjuk Regency. This compliance problem is indicated by the high rate of delays and non-compliance in paying tax obligations, which is largely caused by weak enforcement of sanctions, low taxpayer awareness, and diverse economic conditions of the community. This study aims to analyze the influence of tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level on compliance in paying PBB. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique, through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 taxpayer respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests such as normality tests, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and hypothesis tests (t-test and F-test) to examine the influence of independent variables partially and simultaneously on the dependent variable. The results of the study indicate that partially, tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level have a positive and significant influence on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. Simultaneously, these three variables are also proven to have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. These findings provide an important contribution to the formulation of regional fiscal policies, particularly regarding strategies for increasing regional tax revenue. Practical implications of this research include the need to increase the effectiveness of sanction enforcement, intensify tax outreach and education, and improve tax administration services to encourage public awareness and compliance. With the right strategies, it is hoped that taxpayer compliance will increase sustainably and contribute to optimizing regional revenue.

This study aims to describe and analyze the level of community compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) from a social and cultural perspective. A qualitative approach was used with a case study method in one of the villages in region X which has varying levels of compliance. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, with key informants consisting of taxpayers, community leaders, and village officials. The results of the study indicate that community compliance with PBB payments is not solely influenced by economic and regulatory factors, but also by social values ​​such as mutual cooperation, trust in local government, and cultural norms that live in the community. In addition, perceptions of tax fairness and the real benefits of paying taxes also influence community attitudes. These findings indicate the importance of a cultural approach in tax compliance improvement strategies, especially in areas with strong social characteristics. This study recommends the need for contextual and collaborative PBB socialization with local leaders to build tax awareness based on local values.
