The results of the activity show that transparency of legal information is able to increase public understanding of local government policies and encourage community participation in the process of implementing government. In addition, this activity also contributes to increasing public legal awareness and strengthening the relationship between the government and the community. Thus, information transparency is an important factor in realizing good and accountable governance, transparent, effective, efficient, and oriented to the public interest.

The United States is often called the "land of the free" and the "land of opportunity," but its history is also rife with discrimination and injustice. This abstract explains how racism and inequality have shaped American society throughout the ages. This discrimination began with the system of slavery imposed on African Americans in the 17th century. This system not only took away their freedom but also placed them in a highly unfair situation. After slavery ended, discrimination persisted through Jim Crow laws, which allowed for racial segregation in areas such as education, transportation, and public services. Additionally, other groups such as Native Americans, Asian immigrants, and Latino communities also faced oppression. Native Americans' ancestral lands were confiscated, and they were forced to relocate to reservations. Asian immigrants experienced unfair treatment, including bans on entry and exclusion. Although the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th century successfully eliminated many laws that discriminated against, injustice persists. Systematic forms of racism are still evident in economic inequality, the way the law is administered, and disparities in access to education and adequate housing. Thus, American history is a story of the ongoing effort to realize the promise of justice for all its people, a process that continues to this day.

Digital transformation has reshaped community life by increasing internet dependency in daily communication, financial transactions, and public services. However, this rapid development has also intensified cybersecurity risks, particularly link-based scams and the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Limited digital literacy at the family level makes communities vulnerable to phishing attacks, personal data breaches, and AI-generated fraud. This community service program aimed to strengthen digital literacy among residents of RW 03 Kalipancur, Semarang, through participatory education focusing on link scam detection and responsible AI usage. The program involved interactive lectures, case discussions, simulations, and pre-test and post-test evaluations with 18 participants from family groups, PKK cadres, and elderly residents. The results showed a significant increase in understanding, from an average pre-test score of 43% to a post-test score of 84%. Beyond knowledge improvement, participants demonstrated increased awareness and behavioral change toward safer digital practices. The findings suggest that community-based participatory approaches effectively enhance family-level digital resilience and can serve as a replicable empowerment model in other communities facing similar digital threats.

This study investigates the relationship between fiscal dependence, the effectiveness of locally generated revenue (PAD), and the degree of fiscal decentralization on the Human Development Index (HDI) in four regencies on Madura Island Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep which have consistently reported the lowest HDI scores in East Java Province. Utilizing panel data from 2011 to 2023, the findings indicate that all regencies remain highly fiscally dependent, with fiscal dependency ratios exceeding 89%. Central government transfers dominate local budget structures, significantly limiting local fiscal autonomy. While PAD effectiveness shows notable achievements such as Pamekasan’s 136.09% realization rate its contribution to total regional revenue remains relatively low. This is reflected in the modest degree of fiscal decentralization, which ranges between 8.56% and 10.72%. Such fiscal limitations hinder the ability of local governments to invest in strategic sectors that directly impact human development, including education, healthcare, and public services. The analysis also reveals that despite effective PAD realization, its nominal value is insufficient to drive substantial improvements in HDI, especially when not supported by strengthened fiscal capacity and local economic mobilization. These findings suggest that PAD effectiveness alone does not translate into better human development outcomes without broader fiscal empowerment. Therefore, a comprehensive fiscal decentralization strategy is required one that not only enhances revenue generation but also improves budgetary governance and optimizes local economic resources. Strengthening local fiscal autonomy is essential for ensuring targeted, efficient, and equitable investment in human development sectors, ultimately fostering sustainable regional development across Madura Island.

Sanankerto Village still relies on manual administration, which affects the efficiency of data management and public services. This community service program aims to optimize the village administrative information system through training in Microsoft Excel and Google Workspace for 20 village officials. The methods used include lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and one-month mentoring. Evaluation results show a significant increase in skills—the average pre-test score of 50% rose to 85% in the post-test. Participants are now able to prepare financial reports, use spreadsheets for archiving, and utilize Google Docs and Google Drive for collaborative village data management. These findings align with similar community programs in Kedondong District, where Excel has been used for systematic administrative archiving. Moreover, the use of Google Spreadsheet has proven to enhance organizational efficiency in the Karang Taruna youth organization. This program demonstrates that strengthening village officials' capacity in information technology can support more professional and accountable village governance.

Theft of railroad rails in South Lampung is a crime that threatens the safety of transportation and public services. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause this crime and examine the prevention efforts that have been made. The method used is an empirical approach through literature studies and interviews with the police, perpetrators of crime, and academics. The results of the study show that theft is triggered by socio-economic factors such as poverty, unemployment, lack of family supervision, and negative social environmental influences. Lack of legal understanding and easy access to crime information also worsen the situation. Prevention efforts are carried out through three approaches: pre-emptive (legal education and social development), preventive (supervision and protection of infrastructure), and repressive (law enforcement). Collaboration between the community and law enforcement officers is the main key to preventing and overcoming this crime in a sustainable manner.

This study aims to design and implement a Village Information System (SID) in Bungko Village, Kotamobagu Selatan District, to improve administrative efficiency and public services. The developed system enables village officials to manage population data, process service requests, and generate financial reports more quickly and organized. Village residents can also access services online, submit requests, and easily monitor the status of their services. The SID implementation uses web-based technology, including PHP, and MySQL, ensuring data security and reliability. The results of this study show that the SID can enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in village governance. However, improving technology infrastructure, user training, and integration with other systems are essential for further development. This study is expected to serve as a model for other villages in implementing technology to advance administration and public services.

Plans are a vital component in a government to achieve directed and sustainable development. This research aims to identify the importance of plans in managing resources, setting priorities, and creating transparency and accountability in government. The method used in this research is qualitative analysis based on literature reviews and case studies related to plan implementation in various governments, both national and local. The focus of this research includes the role of plans in resource efficiency, risk mitigation, and coordination between institutions. The research results show that governments that have thorough planning are better able to optimize the use of budget, labor and time compared to governments without clear plans. In addition, a good plan helps the government anticipate potential risks and challenges, as well as provide strategic solutions to face them. In terms of transparency, planning documents enable the public to monitor government performance, increase public trust, and support public participation in the development process. This research also found that plans that are inclusive and involve various stakeholders are able to create stronger synergy between institutions and maintain program sustainability even if there is a change in leadership. In conclusion, plans in government are not only a tool to direct development, but also an important instrument to ensure stability, effectiveness and efficiency. With a structured plan, the government can achieve development goals optimally and have a significant impact on community welfare. This research recommends strengthening planning capacity at all levels of government to improve the quality of governance and public services.

The success of Meranti Islands Regency after the expansion of Bengkalis Regency which occurred on December 19 2008, with a focus on the economic sector and public services. Even though there are several indicators of better economic performance compared to the parent region, the overall economic growth of Meranti Islands Regency is still lagging behind. On the public service side, even though it shows more positive results, there are several indicators that are still lower than Bengkalis Regency. This research uses literature studies to identify the challenges and performance of the Meranti Islands Regency, including the problem of fiscal dependence and suboptimal regional financial management. Public services in this area have not been effective due to inefficient use of funds, lack of public service energy, and service utilization that has not been maximized. Despite the accessibility of public services.

Recommendations for improvement are given to improve the quality of services at the girls' dormitory in the future.

Corruption in the public sector remains a major obstacle to regional development, threatening the effectiveness of financial management and public services. Gaps in financial supervision and management that are not transparent are the cause of fraud in the use of the budget. The agency theory states that corruption is caused by a conflict of interest between the community as the principal and the government as an agent, with the external auditor as a supervisor to prevent irregularities. The focus of this research is to find out the relationship between corruption in local governments and capital expenditure, local own revenue, audit opinions, and audit findings. This study uses quantitative methods and uses secondary data. The sample consistSed of 250 local governments (districts/cities/provinces) in Indonesia during 2020-2022. The analyst method uses SPSS 27 with multiple linear regression method. The test results showed that capital expenditure had no effect on corruption, local own revenue and audit findings had a positive effect on corruption, and audit opinions had nothing to do with corruption in local governments.

Regional taxes, especially the Land and Building Tax (PBB) and Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB), have an important role in increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD) and supporting infrastructure development and public services. Socialization activities carried out in RT. 42 RW. 13 Taman Village, Madiun City, aims to increase public awareness and compliance in paying taxes. Through seminars, direct counseling, as well as print and digital media, this socialization provides information on tax obligations and tax benefits for regional development. The results of the socialization show an increase in public understanding of the tax function, although there are still obstacles, such as a lack of in-depth understanding and access to information. This activity indicates that effective socialization can encourage public awareness and discipline in fulfilling tax obligations, which in turn supports the sustainability of regional development.

The mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 NRI Constitution states that the natural wealth contained therein must be managed sustainably for the greatest prosperity of the Indonesian people. It is important to understand that regional autonomy originates from the management of maritime areas, which is the result of the exercise of authority relating to various activities on land. One way to improve people's welfare is by utilizing natural land and sea resources, finance and public services. One of Indonesia's greatest natural riches is natural oil and gas resources (SDA MIGAS). Normative juridical research which aims to study authority, especially the management of OIL and Gas mines in offshore areas under Aceh's special autonomy. This research is based on the diversity of legal science, which results in a normative research approach. Research shows that the law limits BPMA from managing OIL and Gas in Aceh. It is interesting to note that Aceh's OIL and GAS mines, which have large deposits, are located between 12 and 200 nautical miles. One example is the oil and gas location in Simeulue, which is located 20.5 nautical miles. Therefore, BPMA does not have the authority to negotiate, especially in terms of ratifying and signing Cooperation Contract (KKS) agreements. Therefore, laws made by the governor with the approval of the DPRA or DPRK automatically do not apply and become mere rules without action.

Community participation is very important in the implementation of state administration and public services. The government has the responsibility to meet the needs of community services in a quality manner. However, it needs to involve community participation starting from planning, implementation, to evaluation. Social media is currently an important channel for community interaction. Therefore, it needs to be optimized as a means of community participation. This research aims to analyze the role of optimizing social media in supporting community participation in order to improve the quality of public services. This qualitative research with literature studies shows that social media can be used to receive public input, provide service information , and increase public participation. In this way, it is hoped that the government can improve the quality of public services based on input provided by the public via social media. Optimizing the use of social media needs to be done to encourage active community participation.    

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.  

Increasing digital literacy is the key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially goal 17, namely partnerships to achieve the goals. It is hoped that government initiatives that provide facilities to increase partnerships and public awareness of digital literacy can increase the availability of information and provide equal opportunities for progress in the social, economic and environmental fields. This research uses literature review methods and content analysis. The results of this research state that the initiatives taken by the government to advance digital literacy have improved public service standards, especially in the fields of health, education and public services. The Indonesian government has fully supported the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by increasing public awareness and expertise in digital technology through various projects and programs. This program aims to increase community access and expertise in digital technology through training, creation of digital infrastructure, and public-private partnerships. This will significantly improve the quality of life of the community and participate in long-term development.
