In the modern era, financial services have increasingly integrated with technological advancements, one example being donation-based crowdfunding that operates through online financial platforms. Kitabisa.com is an online platform that facilitates donation transactions between campaigners and donors but does not assume responsibility for the actions or information provided by campaigners, donors, or other users. This creates significant potential for disputes among these parties. This study examines two key issues related to the standard contracts used in donation-based crowdfunding: the unilateral dispute resolution provisions created by the platform and the effectiveness of resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Using a case study approach focused on Kitabisa.com's standard contracts, the research employs descriptive-qualitative analysis of collected data and literature. The findings reveal that while some contracts include ADR clauses, others do not, and the effectiveness of ADR in resolving disputes is limited, with few cases being publicly reported.

The application of fiqih jinayah in Aceh is the implementation of Islamic criminal law regulated in Qanun Jinayat as part of the implementation of Islamic law in the region. This is based on the special authority granted by Law Number 11/2006 on the Government of Aceh. Qanun Jinayat includes various criminal provisions such as hudud, qisas, and ta'zir that regulate certain offenses, including zina, gambling, alcohol consumption, and khalwat. Punishments include flogging, fines, and imprisonment. However, the implementation of fiqh jinayah in Aceh faces various challenges, such as resistance from certain groups, limited public understanding, and issues of compatibility with human rights principles. On the other hand, this implementation is considered successful in reducing the level of certain crimes and strengthening the Islamic identity of the people of Aceh. Thus, fiqih jinayah in Aceh is an example of how Islamic law can be integrated into the national legal system, although it requires evaluation and adaptation to ensure its implementation is fair, transparent, and in accordance with the social context of the community.

Law plays a crucial role in enhancing public participation in local governance by providing a clear framework for citizen engagement in decision-making, oversight, and the fulfillment of their rights. This study examines the application of legal frameworks to improve public involvement in regional governance, focusing on the Indonesian context. Using an empirical juridical method, the research combines normative analysis of laws and empirical data from interviews and observations. Findings reveal that responsive legal products and participatory processes are essential to fostering public engagement in regional development. Key challenges include limited public awareness, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and inconsistent implementation of legal provisions. Addressing these issues through public education, transparent governance, and stronger legal enforcement can significantly improve participation rates. This paper highlights the importance of integrating legal and social perspectives to create inclusive and effective governance at the local level.

Legal protection is an effort made by the government to protect its citizens in accordance with legal regulations that aim to realize justice, legal certainty, and benefits. The application of law is a system that aims to regulate and protect every action or behavior that occurs within the scope of society with various norms and sanctions that are binding and coercive in order to prevent problems from occurring. Every person who commits a crime will certainly be held accountable in the form of sanctions for the violations committed. In this writing process, the normative legal research method or normative juridical method is used using a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. A crime in general can also be caused by actions or deeds that are not directly carried out with an element of intent in the form of protection or self-defense. Accountability for criminal acts on the basis of self-defense in this case can be justified as long as it meets the requirements and limitations according to legal provisions. Thus, self-defense efforts in the criminal act process cannot be punished if they meet the elements of self-protection because there is no way out, meet the unlawful nature, for the benefit of oneself, others and public order issues, and do not go against the norms that live in society.

In the current era, land is a basic need that is extremely important and meaningful in human life, particularly as a place to live, work, farm, or conduct various economic activities. With the rapidly growing population, the demand for residential land is also increasing. The population growth that is not matched by land availability creates significant pressure in the property market, leading to the development of new housing and settlements, both in urban and suburban areas. However, due to the increasingly limited availability of habitable land, this often triggers intense competition among individuals or parties with vested interests in obtaining land rights. The desire to own land has become very strong, as nowadays, land is not only used as a residence but also as a valuable resource. This often causes land disputes where the parties involved feel disadvantaged, either due to overlapping ownership, unclear land status claims, or differences in land use allocation. Due to the increasingly complex issues, the Land Office of Kediri City provides an alternative solution for boundary dispute resolution, namely mediation. This practice is an effort to resolve land conflicts peacefully and efficiently. Land disputes are becoming more complex and prolonged, often involving the government, businesses, and local residents. Moreover, land-related issues are frequently associated with unclear administration, weak law enforcement, or differing interpretations of existing regulations. As a result, not only does it impact the individuals involved, but it can also affect social and economic stability in a region. To address these issues, a more structured and transparent approach to land distribution and management is required. The government and society must work together to ensure fair and clear land distribution and provide wise solutions to disputes based on the principles of social justice. Mediation offers a more flexible approach compared to litigation by prioritizing dialogue among disputing parties. In this context, mediation helps alleviate tensions and create mutually beneficial solutions, enabling faster and more cost-effective processes. This study analyzes the effectiveness of mediation practices in reducing the number of disputes brought to court and assesses public perceptions of this resolution method. The results show that mediation can increase the satisfaction of the parties involved and promote stability in land ownership.

The rapid development of technology has significantly influenced various economic sectors, including finance. Digitalization has introduced opportunities to create more efficient, transparent, and inclusive financial services. Within Islamic finance, technological advancements address challenges such as limited access to Sharia-compliant financial services and complexities in applying Sharia principles practically. One notable innovation is Sharia-based financial technology (fintech), which combines Islamic values with modern technology to provide accessible, ethical, and sustainable financial solutions. This study explores the potential and challenges of Sharia fintech in Indonesia, a country with the largest Muslim population globally. Sharia fintech, including crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending, and halal digital payment platforms, promotes financial inclusion while adhering to Islamic principles. However, its growth faces regulatory hurdles, consumer protection issues, and a lack of public literacy about Sharia-compliant financial products. The research highlights the role of the government and regulatory bodies such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in providing a supportive framework, including legal certainty, technological infrastructure, and public education initiatives. The findings emphasize that effective regulations and strategic government support are critical to fostering Sharia fintech as a pillar of the Islamic economy. With strengthened collaboration between stakeholders, Sharia fintech can contribute significantly to financial inclusion and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.

The management of public aspirations is a strategic task of the Public Relations (PR) department at the DPRD Secretariat to support information transparency and public participation. This study aims to examine the roles, challenges, and strategies of PR in managing public aspirations in Central Kalimantan Province. Using empirical and normative juridical approaches, primary and secondary data were qualitatively analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of communication mechanisms implemented. The findings indicate that PR serves as a mediator between the public and the DPRD through hearings, discussion forums, and digital platforms. In addition to gathering public aspirations, PR also educates the public on mechanisms for submitting opinions and the importance of public participation. However, this study identifies several challenges, such as limited access to information for remote communities, insufficient public understanding of aspiration submission procedures, and slow responses to incoming inputs. To address these issues, innovations are required, including the implementation of an online-based management information system, capacity building through training, and periodic evaluations of aspiration management processes. These strategies are expected to enhance transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of aspiration management, ensuring that public aspirations are optimally accommodated in legislative processes and regional development planning.

In writing this journal, I as the writer want to describe and present topics regarding issues that are often hot and often become conflicts in our country, the Republic of Indonesia, regarding the border area at the tip of the northern region of Indonesia or what is widely known to the general public is called "Indonesia's outermost islands" or what many of us know as Natuna Island, which is directly adjacent to neighboring countries and directly borders the South China Sea, this is also what often triggers conflicts over state regulations over maritime territories. As an example, we most often know about the number of fishermen from neighboring countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Myanmar who smuggle into the seas of the Republic of Indonesia illegally and without official permission and then take the wealth and marine products that Indonesia itself owns. This also causes things such as smuggling of goods and prohibited items to pass through urgent areas such as Natuna Island. The purpose of writing this journal is to describe the steps and efforts taken by the Indonesian state to defend and protect its territorial sovereignty and rights as they should. Based on several articles and news circulating in the Indonesian mass media regarding conflicts and problems that often occur and the most hot news is regarding Indonesia's sea which is considered strategic and has several times wanted to be claimed by neighboring countries.
