The low literacy rate and limited infrastructure continue to be ongoing issues in the city of Palangka Raya. As an effort to improve the literacy value of the community, especially in the narrower social sphere. Therefore, in this case, the establishment of libraries at the Village or Subdistrict Government level is very much needed. As a step to regulate the management and organization of libraries from the city level to the sub-district level, the Palangka Raya City Government has enacted Regional Regulation No. 9 of 2019 concerning Library Management. This Community Service Program focuses on improving community literacy, particularly for students of SD Negeri 1 Kereng Bangkirai, conducted in the village of Kereng Bangkirai. Thru this activity, it is expected that there will be an increase in community visits to the "Harati" Library in the village of Kereng Bangkirai and that it will enhance interest and awareness of literacy, especially among the students of SD Negeri 1 Kereng Bangkirai. Thus, this Community Service activity can run and have a maximum impact.

Discretion exercised by election management bodies constitutes an administrative instrument that is functionally necessary to prevent stagnation in electoral processes under conditions of legal vacuum, normative ambiguity, or extraordinary circumstances. However, in practice, discretionary decisions often generate public concern and expose election officials to the risk of criminalization, particularly when such discretion is assessed through a formalistic and result oriented criminal law paradigm. This study aims to analyze the construction of criminal liability of election administrators for the use of discretion in conditions of electoral stagnation, by examining the paradigm shift from the old Indonesian Criminal Code to the new Criminal Code and its implications for criminal law enforcement under the Criminal Procedure Code. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings reveal that the old Criminal Code tended to facilitate policy criminalization by emphasizing formal violations and objective consequences, whereas the new Criminal Code introduces a substantive approach centered on subjective fault, official purpose, and rationality of action. Nevertheless, the lack of synchronization with the Criminal Procedure Code which remains focused on conventional evidentiary standards causes discretionary actions of election administrators to remain legally ambiguous. Therefore, harmonization between substantive criminal law and criminal procedure law, along with a transformation in law enforcement reasoning, is essential to ensure that discretion exercised by election officials is assessed proportionally, contextually, and in line with democratic principles.

Abstract. The right to health is an integral part of human rights guaranteed by the Constitution and further reinforced by Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, which places the state as the party responsible for ensuring the provision of safe, high-quality, and non-discriminatory health services for all citizens. However, in practice, the fulfillment of the right to health continues to face various challenges, particularly in the delivery of health services for participants of BPJS Kesehatan. This study aims to analyze the legal protection of the right to health in Indonesia and to examine the refusal of medical services to BPJS patients that resulted in death in Papua from a human rights perspective. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that although the national legal framework has clearly regulated the obligations of the state and health care facilities in providing emergency services, its implementation remains weak due to administrative barriers, unequal access to health services, and inconsistent law enforcement. The refusal of medical services to BPJS patients in Papua reflects a tension between hospitals’ administrative compliance and the professional obligation of medical personnel to save human lives. The implications of this study emphasize the need to strengthen supervision, ensure consistent law enforcement, and improve health service governance so that the right to health is truly protected as part of human dignity within the Indonesian rule of law. 

This community service activity is motivated by the suboptimal implementation of sharing values during Ramadan in Taman Sepanjang Village, Sidoarjo, particularly among economically disadvantaged communities who require both material and spiritual support. This study aims to enhance religious awareness, strengthen social solidarity, and empower the community through a takjil-sharing program based on charity. The method used is the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, consisting of discovery, dream, design, define, and destiny stages. Data collection techniques include participatory observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and documentation. The results indicate an increase in community understanding of charity and piety, higher participation of residents as volunteers and donors, and stronger social relationships among community members. Furthermore, the program successfully fostered a sustainable culture of sharing and strengthened social cohesion. Despite challenges such as limited funding and coordination, the program is considered effective in providing positive social and spiritual impacts and has the potential for sustainable development.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the legal basis and mechanisms for implementing Minimum Service Standards (MSS) in public service delivery in Indonesia. As a strategic instrument, the MSS is designed to ensure the fulfillment of citizens' constitutional rights through quality basic services. Using qualitative research methods with a juridical-normative approach, this study evaluates the extent to which the implementation of the MSS has been able to create equitable access to services and identifies crucial factors influencing its success. The results indicate that although the MSS has a solid legal basis through Law No. 23 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 2 of 2018, the reality on the ground still shows significant gaps. Implementation of this policy is often hampered by low organizational capacity at the regional level, limited human resource (HR) competency, inaccurate sectoral data, and weak inter-institutional coordination. This study concludes that the effectiveness of the MSS is highly dependent on strengthening regional fiscal capacity, political commitment of leadership, and the integration of valid data-based planning. This is necessary to achieve social justice and equitable welfare within the framework of a welfare state in Indonesia.

Collecting donations for natural disaster victims is a form of social solidarity widely practiced by the community, including students. However, in practice, these fundraising activities must be carried out in accordance with applicable legal provisions, specifically Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of the Collection of Money or Goods (PUB). This study aims to analyze the implementation of Ministerial Regulation Number 8 of 2021 in the practice of collecting donations for natural disasters by students. The research method used is a normative empirical research method with a legislative and sociological approach. Data were obtained through literature review and interviews with the Social Services Agency and student organizations. The results show that the implementation of Ministerial Regulation Number 8 of 2021 in student fundraising activities has actually taken place, but is not yet fully optimal. This is evident in the continued discovery of donation collections carried out without official permits from authorized agencies and the lack of accountability reporting for collected funds. This condition indicates that the level of compliance with administrative provisions in the implementation of fundraising is still relatively low. Therefore, increased regulatory dissemination, more effective oversight, and increased legal awareness among students are needed to ensure that fundraising activities are carried out transparently, accountably, and in accordance with applicable laws.

The issuance of billboard installation permits is part of local government authority in regulating public space, maintaining public order, and ensuring legal certainty. This study examines the implementation of billboard permit administration under Serang City Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2021. It applies an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with relevant local officials and a review of applicable laws and supporting legal materials. The findings indicate that the permit process involves several agencies: the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office as the licensing authority, the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office for technical recommendations, the Regional Revenue Agency for tax collection, and the Municipal Police for supervision and enforcement. Although the regulatory framework is comprehensive, challenges remain, including inter-agency coordination, tax compliance, supervision effectiveness, and limited legal awareness among business actors. The study concludes that effective permit administration depends not only on clear regulations but also on strong institutional coordination and proper implementation.

Public accountability is a key principle in the implementation of good governance, particularly in fulfilling the responsibilities of local governments. One instrument of this accountability is the Regional Government Administration Report (Laporan Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Daerah / LPPD), which is prepared annually by regional heads and submitted to the central government. This study aims to analyze public accountability in the preparation of the LPPD in Ponorogo Regency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. Informants include the LPPD preparation team at the Regional Secretariat of Ponorogo Regency and Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) involved in providing data. The analysis uses accountability indicators including responsiveness, debate forums, coordination, autonomy, clarity of performance evaluation standards, negotiation, accountability campaigns, evaluation and feedback, and participation and responsiveness to environmental changes. The results indicate that the preparation of the LPPD in Ponorogo Regency has followed administrative procedures and is supported by the involvement of regional agencies and a digital-based reporting system. However, its implementation remains less than optimal, particularly in terms of responsiveness of regional agencies, cross-sector coordination, public accountability campaigns, and mechanisms for public participation.

This study is motivated by the increasing complexity of financing coordination between the National Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan) and supplementary health insurance providers under the Coordination of Benefits (KAPJ) scheme, which creates potential claim disputes and administrative risks for hospitals. Although Minister of Health Decree No. HK.01.07/MENKES/1117/2025 regulates payment allocation and membership verification mechanisms, it does not explicitly recognize pre-admission confirmation as a preventive legal protection instrument. This research aims to analyze the normative position of pre-admission confirmation within the KAPJ framework, conceptualize it as a preventive legal protection mechanism, and formulate a proportional implementation model. The study employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches through literature review of relevant regulations and scholarly works. The findings indicate that pre-admission confirmation possesses implicit normative legitimacy through membership verification obligations and system integration requirements, and functions as a risk allocation mechanism that clarifies payment responsibilities prior to service delivery. Its implementation enhances legal certainty, reduces fraud potential, and minimizes claim disputes, provided that access to emergency medical services remains guaranteed.

The development of information technology has triggered significant changes in the Indonesian healthcare system, including through the implementation of telemedicine as a key innovation. This digital health innovation requires strengthening the role of health law to ensure service quality, patient safety, and legal guarantees for healthcare workers and service providers. This paper aims to examine the function of health law in the management of national healthcare services, with a particular focus on telemedicine healthcare services, and to evaluate the suitability of its regulations in protecting patient rights. The methodology used is normative legal analysis, which involves examining various laws and regulations such as Law Number 72 of 2023 concerning Health, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, and Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 20 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Telemedicine Services. Supporting data was obtained from reviewing national scientific journals, which discuss aspects of health law and telemedicine in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that health law functions as a mechanism to regulate service standards, protect patient rights, and oversee the accountability of healthcare workers in telemedicine practices. However, the implementation of regulations related to telemedicine still faces several obstacles.

This is related to the rights of traffic accident victims regulated in Article 240 of Law 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation "traffic accident victims have the right to receive compensation from the party responsible and are entitled to insurance compensation from the insurance company". Article 1365 of the Civil Code, every person who commits an unlawful act is obliged to compensate for the losses arising from his or her mistake. In fact, many accidents occur due to damaged roads in Samarinda City, so this is one of the factors causing traffic accidents.The aim of this research is to answer two things. First, to find out and examine unlawful acts by the authorities in cases of traffic accidents due to damaged roads. Second, we want to know and examine the legal responsibilities of road operators. In this part of the research, we review and explore the relevant laws that regulate and are relevant to claims for compensation against road operators by victims of traffic accidents due to damaged roads.The results obtained from this research are as follows: 1) In this case, the occurrence of traffic accidents in terms of the last 5 years continues to show a significant increase, which means that the government has not maximally provided the community's rights, namely to have good roads. One of the causes of accidents is damaged roads, but to date no member of the public has filed a civil lawsuit against the government for compensation for the pain they suffered. 2) The government's regulations and efforts to provide protection for road users are sufficient, but they are not implemented optimally, in fact the public has never been given an appeal to demand their rights to receive good roads.  

The Hamlet Head Election is an important part of the practice of village democracy that demands transparent, accountable, and participatory implementation. However, in practice, various obstacles are still encountered, such as limited understanding of regulations by the committee, low democratic literacy of the community, and potential conflicts due to lack of information disclosure. This community service activity aims to accompany the implementation of the Hamlet Head Election in Wonokerto Village so that it runs transparently and accountably. The service methods used include socialization of hamlet head election regulations, technical assistance to the election committee, education to the community regarding the rights and obligations of voters, and monitoring and evaluation of the election implementation. The results of the activity show an increase in the committee's understanding of election procedures in accordance with the principles of village governance, increased community participation, and the implementation of more open and accountable election.Thus, this community service activity can have a positive impact on the implementation of more open and accountable elections, as well as creating a healthy and sustainable democratic climate at the village level.

This study aims to determine and analyze the comparison of authority and characteristics between the Nusantara Capital Authority and the Labuan Bajo Authority in the administration of the Indonesian government. The type of research used in the research on the comparison of the authority of the Nusantara Capital Authority Authority and the Labuan Bajo Authority in the Implementation of Indonesian Government is still the same as the initial research proposal, namely using the type of normative law research (normative law research) which is carried out by examining library materials or secondary data. Comparison of the authority between the Nusantara Capital Authority and the Labuan Bajo Authority, namely the authority of the Nusantara Capital Authority (IKN) is regulated in Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital and further regulated through Government Regulation Number 27 of 2023 concerning the Special Authority of the Nusantara Capital, namely special authority related to granting investment licenses, ease of doing business, and providing special facilities to parties that support the implementation of the Indonesian Government, as well as the provision of special facilities to parties that support financing in the context of preparation, construction, and relocation of the National Capital, as well as the development of the Archipelago Capital and partner regions and authority in government affairs, while the authority of the Labuan Bajo Authority Agency

This study analyzes the role of the Golkar Party of Serang City in the formulation and oversight of Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2019 on the Implementation of Tourism Business Governance using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. The study aims to examine how political party institutions perform their functions in local legislative processes, particularly in terms of public representation, interest articulation, and policy oversight. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with party actors and members of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), as well as document analysis of relevant policy materials. The findings reveal that Golkar’s role in the formulation and supervision of the regulation was predominantly carried out by its legislative faction through informal mechanisms, while the party’s organizational structure played a limited institutional role. The process of absorbing public aspirations was relatively constrained and tended to favor groups with close social and political ties, indicating that the party has not fully exercised its functions of public articulation and accountability. From the perspective of the IAD framework, this condition reflects weaknesses in internal rules, actor capacity, and interaction mechanisms within the party as a political institution in the policy arena. Therefore, strengthening Golkar’s institutional capacity is essential to enable a more substantive, responsive, and inclusive role in local legislative and policy oversight processes

The digital transformation of public administration in recent decades has reshaped government service delivery, particularly through the adoption of technology as a tool to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability. The implementation of the Online Single Submission–Risk Based Approach (OSS-RBA) represents Indonesia’s strategic effort to create an integrated licensing framework aligned with the principles of good governance. This study aims to analyze the forms of administrative responsibility in digital-based licensing services under OSS-RBA and examine the accountability mechanisms applicable when system failures affect legal certainty for business actors. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches through the examination of regulations, doctrines, and administrative court decisions. The findings indicate that digitalization does not alter the core of governmental responsibility, as every decision generated by the system is legally attributed to the competent administrative authority. The implementation of OSS-RBA still faces obstacles such as system errors, data inconsistencies between institutions, and delays in technical verification, all of which directly affect legal certainty and the quality of public services. Furthermore, internal and external oversight mechanisms are not yet fully effective in preventing maladministration, including unreasonable delays and inaccuracies in automated decision-making. The study also shows that business actors require more responsive administrative remedies to prevent technological risks from shifting entirely onto them. Therefore, this research concludes that the effectiveness of OSS-RBA depends on strengthening institutional capacity, harmonizing regulations, and ensuring the consistent application of good governance principles throughout all stages of digital licensing administration.  

The government places the protection of women and children in Surabaya City as a top priority in efforts to reduce the annual surge of violence. To strengthen prevention, handling, and the fulfillment of women’s and children’s rights at the community level, the Surabaya City Government issued Regional Regulation No. 3 of 2023 concerning the Implementation of Child Protection, which is then implemented through the Program of Women- and Child-Friendly Arek Suroboyo Village (KAS-RPA). Focusing on Benowo District and Kandangan Subdistrict, this study aims to examine the synergy of policies among stakeholders in the implementation of the KAS-RPA program. To obtain a real understanding of the implementation conditions, this research applied a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. A shared perception among DP3APPKB Office, Benowo District, Kandangan Subdistrict, and Kandangan village cadres in supporting the implementation of the KAS-RPA program demonstrates the level of policy synergy achieved, according to the research findings. Communication patterns among institutions also take place openly and in a structured manner through regular coordination. The attitudes of policy actors indicate a positive commitment to the success of the program, supported by a clear and well-coordinated organizational structure. However, limitations in resources still exist, such as the lack of supporting facilities and the insufficient number of active cadres, affecting program optimization. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of enhancing resource support and community participation to ensure a more sustainable implementation of the policy and a direct impact on reducing violence against women and children in Surabaya.

This community service research aims to improve the knowledge and skills of Generation Z in Blitar City in organizing funeral prayers according to Islamic law. This activity is motivated by the low understanding of the younger generation regarding the procedures for performing funeral prayers, even though it is part of the fardhu kifayah obligation that should be understood by every Muslim. Through this training activity, it is hoped that Generation Z will have theoretical and practical skills in performing funeral prayers correctly and raise awareness of the importance of social and spiritual responsibility in community life. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) by actively involving participants in two stages of activities, namely providing material on the laws, pillars, and prayers of funeral prayers, as well as direct practice of its implementation guided by competent speakers. The results of the study showed that this training went well and received a positive response from the participants. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test, there was an average increase in knowledge scores of 42%, which indicates a significant increase in the understanding and skills of participants. Participants were able to explain the pillars, valid conditions, and procedures for funeral prayers correctly. In addition to increasing knowledge, this activity also strengthens religious values, social responsibility, and spiritual awareness among the younger generation. Therefore, this training is effective in shaping a Generation Z that is knowledgeable, moral, and committed to the teachings of Islam in its entirety.
