The practice of fishing using bombs (blast fishing) presents a serious threat to marine ecosystems and the sustainability of coastal communities' livelihoods. Law enforcement against these violations faces complex challenges, especially in large areas of water with limited fleet and patrol personnel. Perpetrators who move quickly and change locations, coupled with the lack of reports from the public due to fear or social ties, further complicate enforcement efforts. In addition, access to hidden locations and coordination between law enforcement agencies that are not optimal are also the main obstacles. Global studies confirm that the lack of effective law enforcement and adequate governance is a significant driver of these destructive practices, even beyond socio-economic factors. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed that includes strengthening integrated marine patrols on a regular basis, imposing strict sanctions, increasing socialization of the dangers of fish bombs, and the active involvement of coastal communities as supervisors. A synergistic approach between law enforcement officials and local communities, combining prevention and joint management measures, is key to achieving effective marine conservation and sustainable management of fishery resources.

This research aims to analyze the public's perception of career women's efforts in achieving work-life balance, as well as its impact on the dual role experience. The research focus includes the view of society, obstacles experienced by women, and the social implications of the dual role of women. The results of the study based on the questionnaire showed that 74,94% of the people had a positive perception of career women and judged that the balance of work and life can be achieved through time management and family support, while 25,06% had a neutral to negative perception that considered that career women were not optimal in carrying out domestic roles, thus causing social pressure and role conflicts. This perception contributes to stress levels, emotional fatigue, and difficulties in achieving work-life balance. This finding also reveals that education factors, working experience with women, family roles, and social environment affect the formation of perceptions. This research is expected to contribute in increasing public understanding and encouraging policies that support women's careers both in social and work.

This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the application of legal and economic principles of food security in Rias Village, Toboali District. Food security is a crucial issue because it is directly related to survival, welfare, and regional economic stability. However, the community's understanding of food security is often limited to food availability, without considering its relationship with legislation and the dynamics of the village economy. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach that included in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of the local community. The results of the study show that the people of Rias Village have a positive perception of the importance of food security, especially from an economic perspective, such as market access, food prices, and business capital. However, understanding of legal aspects is still limited, especially regarding government and local regulations that should protect the community's right to access food. This perception confirms that the successful implementation of food security principles in Rias Village is influenced by legal policies that favor the community and economic strategies that encourage local food self-sufficiency.

This study is motivated by the ongoing practice of oral dakwah methods amidst the rapid development of technology and the growing variety of dakwah media. Although digital dakwah is increasingly widespread, direct oral preaching still holds a special place in the hearts of the community. The focus of this research is the perception of the Talunblandong Village community towards the oral dakwah delivered by Kiai Falaqul Alam, as well as how they receive and interpret it. This study also examines the impact of this dakwah on the social and religious life of the community. The research employs a qualitative approach with Edmund Husserl’s phenomenological method, emphasizing individuals’ subjective experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving community members who attend Kiai Falaqul Alam’s dakwah. Data analysis was conducted using Descriptive Phenomenological Research (PFD), including unit of meaning description, psychological description, structural description, and thematic synthesis. This process aims to uncover the deepest meaning of the community’s experience of the dakwah they receive. The results show that Kiai Falaqul Alam is perceived as a wise preacher with an easy-to-understand and socially relevant preaching style. The community responds enthusiastically because the content of the sermons meets their spiritual needs and everyday life. The dakwah has positively impacted the community by increasing religious awareness, changing behaviors, and fostering a spirit of togetherness. This indicates that oral dakwah remains an effective method for conveying Islamic values in a touching and lasting way.

The increase in population has an impact on increasing waste, including cooking oil waste known as used cooking oil. This used cooking oil is not always thrown away, but can also be reused. However, improper disposal of waste cooking oil can cause environmental problems. Used cooking oil is a type of waste that can pollute the environment by increasing COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) levels in the water. Apart from that, this oil can also cause an unpleasant odor due to the biological degradation process. Currently, used cooking oil is often thrown directly into the drain. This research was conducted in Wonorejo Village, Surabaya, with data collection methods in the form of questionnaires, field observations and interviews as primary data, as well as a general description of the area and related literature as secondary data. The results of the analysis show that there are variations in views and practices in managing used cooking oil among respondents. The level of public awareness about the importance of managing used cooking oil to support the zero waste concept varies. The majority of respondents (64%) stated that the main responsibility for managing used cooking oil lies with the users themselves.

However, limited parking space causes traffic jams that disrupt community activities. Inadequate infrastructure has also disrupted sales activities and reduced income since the Covid-19 pandemic. Parking money is channeled to the village treasury, but there has been no concrete solution from the market management and village government. This creates a feeling of discomfort felt by the community. Therefore, better management is needed, including providing parking lots, improving infrastructure and fair regulations. The community hopes that the village government will immediately provide a solution to reduce congestion and increase comfort. The research results recommend providing adequate parking, infrastructure improvements, more effective traffic management, transparency in financial management, and collaboration with the community to improve night market management in Bukit Pariaman Village.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan penanggulangan kekerasan seksual yang melindungi korban melalui putusan pengadilan, media sosial, dan kebijakan tanpa pemidanaan. Adanya putusan pengadilan dengan terdakwa Herry Wirawan dan Moch Subchi Azal Tsani pada tindak pidana kekerasan seksual menunjukkan putusan yang dapat dipersoalkan dari sudut perlindungan korban. Realitas ini berada pada kondisi masyarakat yang mengalami erosi moralitas, korban yang seharusnya memperoleh perlindungan dari putusan pengadilan justru sebaliknya. Kondisi ini menjadi materi pemberitaan media massa, apalagi terkait dengan korban kekersan seksual yang menderita fisik, mental, dan sosial. Adanya realita peradilan pidana seperti ini menarik ditengah keterbatasan hukum pidana melindungi korban, dan pada sisi yang lain ada sarana sanksi lain yang dapat digunakan untuk melindungi korban ke dalam kerangka pidana tambahan. Penelitian bersifat yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi penelitian hukum inkonkreto. Analisisnya berupa analisis deskriptif analitis. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan penanggulangan tindak pidana kekerasan seksual melalui putusan pengadilan tidak menunjukkan konsistensi pada perlindungan korban kekerasan. Pidana yang dijatuhkan mendekati tuntutan jaksa. Begitu pula pengenaan sanksi restitusi dengan nilai nominal yang tidak sama. Masih adanya putusan yang tidak mencakup restitusi menunjukkan lemahnya perlindungan bagi pemulihan korban, meskipun secara normatif pengenaan restitusi telah diatur. Pemberitaan media massa telah bermanfaat mempengaruhi persepsi masyarakat tentang kekerasan seksual dan dampaknya bagi korban termasuk pengenaan sanksi pidana yang berat, pemulihan korban dan ancaman pencabutan ijin operasional. Merekonstruksi perlindungan korban kekerasan seksual melalui penguatan media massa termasuk media sosial, penerapan sanksi pidana yang membuat jera, pemulihan korban melalui restitusi dan kompensasi kebijakan sosial yang mewujudkan kesejahteraan korban dengan memulihkan hak-hak korban, penguatan kesehatan mental masyarakat melalui perilaku yang menjunjung tinggi moralitas, menguatkan evaluasi yang berbasis laporan masyarakat dan penerapan sanksi perdata dan adminstrasi sebagai pidana tambahan.
