Non-formal institutions, such as farmer groups, play a strategic role in increasing farmer capacity and strengthening agricultural production systems at the village level. This study aims to analyze the role, function, and institutional dynamics of the Bina Satu Farmer Group in supporting tomato farmers in Parabubu Village, Mego District. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the Bina Satu Farmer Group serves as a learning platform, a collaborative unit, and a liaison between farmers and external institutions. This institution functions in disseminating information on tomato cultivation technology, strengthening access to production inputs, and enhancing farmers' bargaining power in marketing. However, several weaknesses were identified, such as low member participation in routine meetings and limited managerial skills among administrators. Overall, the existence of this farmer group has significantly contributed to increasing the knowledge, productivity, and independence of tomato farmers in Parabubu Village.

The informal institution of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in the rice farming community in Bhera Village, Mego District, Sikka Regency, remains the main foundation of social solidarity and the sustainability of agricultural activities even though modernization and the use of labor have begun to shift traditional values. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used to explore the role, form, and meaning of mutual cooperation in agricultural practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies of rice farmers who are active in mutual cooperation activities. Data analysis was carried out through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the findings. The results show that mutual cooperation is manifested in every stage of farming, from uprooting seedlings, planting (planting), clearing weeds, to harvesting, which is carried out voluntarily and in turns through the Irutan Tradition system. This institution functions as a collective work mechanism that reduces production costs, overcomes labor shortages, and strengthens social ties between farmers. Beyond its economic function, mutual cooperation has profound social and cultural significance as a symbol of brotherhood, togetherness, and collective responsibility in maintaining the sustainability of local wisdom and the resilience of farming communities amidst social and technological change.

This study examines the administrative problems in managing the Education Data Sistem (Dapodik) as a key instrument for strengthening the institutional capacity of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in West Sumatra. Using a literature review approach, data were collected from various sources, including reports from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), BAN PAUD and PNF, and previous studies. The findings reveal that although Dapodik reporting in West Sumatra has reached 97.8%, several challenges persist, such as limited internet access, low operator competence, insufficient technical supervision, and a lack of institutional awareness of data accuracy. These issues have led to delays in accreditation, misallocation of operational assistance funds (BOP), and ineffective educational planning. Therefore, innovative solutions such as Dapodik gamification, digital inter-institutional mentoring, and operator certification are recommended to improve data management effectiveness and sustainably strengthen PAUD institutional governance.

This community service activity aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Muaro Saiyo Farmers Group through the integration of entrepreneurial independence and sustainable irrigation management. The main issues faced by the group are the weakness of the organizational structure, low entrepreneurial skills, and poorly coordinated irrigation management. The implementation methods include field surveys, socialization, thematic training (institutional management, post-harvest processing, and sustainable irrigation), mentoring, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests to measure changes in knowledge. The results of the activity show a significant increase in participants' knowledge, which improved from 25.9% in the "good" category before the training to 88.9% after the training. In addition, the group formed administrative documents, value-added rice products, and a trained irrigation management team. This program successfully created social changes in the form of new norms in farm management, strengthened the culture of mutual cooperation, and fostered the emergence of local leaders capable of mobilizing the group. Future recommendations include the development of more sustainable farming business units and continuous mentoring to strengthen the group's independence in the long term.

Constitutional Court Decision Number 121/PUU-XXII/2024, which eliminates the Civil Service Commission (KASN) and transfers its duties to the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) as the new institution responsible for supervising the merit system, has generated significant concerns regarding the autonomy and effectiveness of internal bodies that are often viewed as underperforming. Based on a normative analysis grounded in relevant legal principles and theoretical frameworks, this ruling is seen as creating a gap in the oversight mechanism intended to safeguard the neutrality and integrity of the state civil apparatus. The shift in authority also introduces the potential for overlapping responsibilities that conflict with the fundamental doctrine of checks and balances. Such structural inconsistencies may weaken the supervision of civil service behavior and reduce the accountability expected from government institutions. Ultimately, these issues risk diminishing public confidence in the state apparatus, as the absence of an independent oversight body can hinder efforts to ensure professionalism, fairness, and ethical conduct within the ASN system.

The development of the digital economy in Indonesia has driven various innovations in the financial services sector, including online lending services (PINJOL) and digital financial platforms. This phenomenon presents both opportunities and challenges for the national financial supervisory system. The Financial Services Authority (OJK), as the institution authorized to regulate and supervise financial services, is required to adapt its role to these dynamics. This study aims to examine the institutional challenges faced by the OJK in carrying out its supervisory function over online lending services and digital financial services in Indonesia. The methods used in this research are normative juridical, with a statute approach, legal theory and institutional theory (Conceptual approach), case approach, and a comparison of fintech supervisory models with those of other countries (Comparative approach). The results of this study are expected to provide an understanding of the OJK's institutional challenges and serve as evaluation material for formulating future digital financial supervisory policies. 

This study aims to analyze the institutional effectiveness of Women Farmers Groups (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT) in enhancing members’ capacity and their role in agricultural enterprise development in Puulemo Village, Kolaka Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with KWT leaders and members, and a review of relevant secondary data. Data were analyzed inductively through data reduction, data display, and thematic conclusion drawing.The findings indicate that the institutional effectiveness of the KWT is categorized as moderately effective, as reflected in a clear organizational structure, relatively high member participation, and the implementation of various capacity-building activities, including organic fertilizer production, horticultural cultivation, local food processing, and basic marketing practices. These activities have positively contributed to improving members’ knowledge, skills, and economic independence. However, institutional effectiveness has not been fully optimized due to limited post-training assistance, low digital literacy, and inadequate utilization of information technology for business development and product marketing.Furthermore, the KWT plays a strategic role in agricultural enterprise development through production activities, value-added processing, and local-scale marketing, which contribute to increasing household income. This study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional capacity, improving human resources, and optimizing the use of information technology and digital marketing to enhance the sustainability of KWT as a driver of rural women’s economic empowerment and local food security.

ABSTRAK Ketahanan nasional menghadapi tantangan baru seiring dengan meningkatnya ancaman radikalisme dan terorisme di Indonesia. Dalam konteks ini, kearifan lokal berpotensi menjadi modal sosial yang efektif dalam memperkuat strategi pencegahan terorisme berbasis sosial-budaya. Penelitian ini menganalisis peran kearifan lokal dalam membangun ketahanan nasional melalui mekanisme preventif dan adaptif terhadap radikalisme. Menggunakan metode studi literatur sistematis dengan pendekatan kualitatif, studi ini mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai lokal seperti gotong royong , siri' na pacce , dan pela gandong yang berkontribusi dalam memperkuat ketahanan sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi kearifan lokal ke dalam kebijakan keamanan menciptakan sinergi antara pemerintah, lembaga keamanan, dan masyarakat, serta pergeseran paradigma keamanan dari yang berorientasi negara (state -centric ) menjadi berbasis masyarakat ( society-centric ). Selain itu, kearifan lokal berperan sebagai fondasi cultural resilience dengan memperkuat kohesi sosial dan identitas inklusif. Namun, pendekatan implementasi ini menghadapi beberapa tantangan, seperti resistensi generasi muda, politisasi identitas, dan bias gender. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan kelembagaan adat, pengembangan indeks ketahanan budaya, serta adaptasi kreatif melalui digitalisasi konten lokal. Dengan demikian, pendekatan berbasis budaya dapat menjadi strategi transformatif dalam mewujudkan keamanan berkelanjutan (sustainable security).

Within the framework of the legal norm system of the Republic of Indonesia, Pancasila occupies a position as the fundamental norm and the highest legal norm. The hierarchy below it is occupied by the 1945 Constitution. As the basic norm of the state, the discourse on the potential for constitutional amendments, especially related to the 1945 Constitution, is an issue that often arises in public discourse. Constitutional amendment is a process of changing the constitution of a country. This process can have significant implications for state institutions, including the structure and function of state institutions, for example in Indonesia. The results of the analysis show that constitutional amendments can have positive and even negative implications for state institutions. In the reform era, amendments to the 1945 Constitution have resulted in significant changes in the structure of the country's higher institutions.

Timbulan sampah di Kabupaten Bone Bolango menunjukkan tren peningkatan yang signifikan dari tahun ke tahun, seiring dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk, ekspansi kawasan permukiman, dan aktivitas ekonomi masyarakat. Berdasarkan data dari Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN), terjadi lonjakan volume sampah harian dari 2022 hingga 2024. Namun, peningkatan ini tidak diimbangi dengan kapasitas pengelolaan yang memadai, baik dari sisi infrastruktur, kelembagaan, maupun partisipasi masyarakat. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji model pengelolaan sampah berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Bone Bolango melalui pendekatan sistem, dengan merujuk pada literatur dan data sekunder. Metode analisis menggunakan pendekatan Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) dan Stock Flow Diagram (SFD) untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan kausal dan dinamika sistem pengelolaan sampah di daerah ini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa akar permasalahan terletak pada lemahnya sinergi antar-pemangku kepentingan, kurangnya regulasi lokal, serta keterbatasan sarana pengolahan. Solusi strategis yang diusulkan meliputi pembangunan fasilitas TPS3R, penyusunan kebijakan persampahan daerah, pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui edukasi lingkungan dan bank sampah, serta penguatan kemitraan dengan sektor swasta dan lembaga non-pemerintah. Diharapkan, pendekatan integratif ini dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan model pengelolaan sampah yang efektif dan berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Bone Bolango.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kebijakan pembangunan Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Bima dalam menanggulangi kemiskinan masyarakat pesisir. Pemilihan daerah pesisir sebagai obyek dari pengentasan kemiskinan adalah karena karakteristik lingkungan, ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya yang unik dengan sumber daya alam yang melimpah namun masih banyak masyarakat pesisir yang hidup serba kekurangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Lokasi penelitian ini berada di Dinas Pariwisata, Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan, dan Dinas Lingkungan Hidup, Dinas Sosial Kabupaten Bima, lokasi tersebut sangat strategis dalam melihat studi kasus dan permasalahan yang terjadi. Subyek penelitian ini dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data terdiri atas observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam menjawab berbagai permasalahan di dalam pengentasan kemiskinan nampaknya tidak bisa hanya menggunakan pendekatan satu solusi. Begitu juga untuk kemiskinan masyarakat pesisir di Kabupaten Bima yang memiliki kehidupan kompleks baik secara struktural, kultural maupun natural. Pendekatan secara struktural yaitu lebih ke arah teknis, di mana penyediaan sarana prasarana serta alat produksi yang mendukung dan memperlancar kegiatan produksi masyarakat pesisir. Kemudian pendekatan yang dilakukan secara kultural yaitu memberikan pengetahuan, informasi dan ketrampilan kepada masyarakat pesisir agar terbuka wawasannya sehingga bisa meningkatkan kualitas diri dan lebih berdaya. Selain itu juga perlunya pengembangan kelembagaan dalam bentuk misalnya kelompok nelayan secara permanen sebagai sarana untuk saling berbagi pengalaman, informasi, kerjasama dalam berlayar hingga proses produksi. Yang terakhir pendekatan pengentasan kemiskinan disebabkan karena natural yang terkait dengan alam akibat gangguan iklim dan cuaca dapat di atasi dengan memberikan alternatif-alternatif pekerjaan yang dapat dilakukan selama musim tidak dapat diandalkan untuk berlayar.
