Traffic congestion is a common issue in developing metropolitan areas, impacting both economically and socially. Long vehicle queues result in delays for many vehicles, which increases travel time and contributes to deteriorating air quality due to emissions from motor vehicles at intersections. One of the influencing factors is the non-optimization of intersections due to delays. Previous studies commonly use the Highway Capacity Manual Indonesia, 2023, to analyze intersection optimization. However, this study will utilize PTV Vissim software. In planning the intersection, some factors must be considered, such as capacity, density, speed, and type. An average daily traffic survey and a road geometric survey will be conducted in the field survey. The analysis will be performed using PTV Vissim software to optimize the 3 (Three) Talang Buluh intersection in Banyuasin Regency by examining the impact of vehicle queue length and evaluating policies for improving traffic management. According to the analysis results, the data from the First Scenario shows that the maximum vehicle queue length reaches 124.02 meters, with an average delay of 18.75 seconds from the Palembang direction. In the second scenario, installing traffic signal control devices increased the queue length to 287.95 meters from the Betung direction, with the most extended delay reaching 129.52 seconds. The third scenario, which involved geometric changes at the intersection, successfully reduced the vehicle queue length to just 47.70 meters from the Palembang City direction. Additionally, the most extended delay recorded was only 11.59 seconds, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach, though it is costly and unsuitable for short-term use. Overall, Scenario 1 can serve as a short-term solution for intersection optimization. However, if road widening improvements are feasible, Scenario 3 is the optimal solution for enhancing traffic efficiency and effectiveness, significantly reducing vehicle queues and delays. This is crucial for implementing long-term traffic management strategies at the Talang Buluh Intersection in Banyuasin Regency.

Traditional markets are characterized by fast-paced and diverse transactions, necessitating a reliable product monitoring system to enhance the efficiency of stock management and transactions. This study develops a monitoring system based on a loadcell sensor and a TCS230 color sensor to automatically classify product weight and type. The loadcell is used to measure product weight with high accuracy, while the TCS230 detects the color characteristics of products to distinguish between different types of commodities, such as various varieties of chili peppers. The development process includes sensor calibration, dataset collection, and the training and evaluation of a classification model. Experimental results show that the classification accuracy exceeds 90%, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining weight and color data for market product recognition.

Increased global mobility has made foreigner surveillance a strategic issue in Indonesia's immigration policy. This research aims to analyze how the principles of Collaborative Governance are applied in the supervision of foreigners by the Directorate General of Immigration, as well as identify the actors involved and the forms of collaboration that occur. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through documentation studies and literature review, this study found that collaborative governance has been implemented in various forms such as joint operations, data exchange, and community engagement. The collaboration involves both state (DG Immigration, Police, BIN, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and non-state actors (media, NGOs, communities). Despite its effectiveness, collaboration still faces obstacles such as sectoral ego and the absence of a strong regulatory framework. The results of this study indicate the importance of institutional strengthening and cross-sectoral integration systems to encourage adaptive and sustainable immigration control.

This research aims to analyze the application of the principle of procedural justice as the basis for the judge's consideration in the case of chicken theft (Decision Number: 518/PID.B/2024/PN SMG). The background of the research is the urgency of protecting the rights of defendants in the criminal justice system, especially for perpetrators from weak economic groups. The method used is normative juridical with a qualitative approach through the study of decision documents and interviews with judges. The results showed that the judge concretely considered the rights of the defendant, including the right to self-defense, obtaining a fair trial, and upholding the investigation procedure in accordance with applicable law. Unlike previous studies that focused more on substantive justice, this research specifically explores aspects of procedural justice in minor cases with social impacts. The novelty of this research lies in the focus of analysis on the application of procedural justice in criminal cases involving defendants from economically vulnerable groups. The findings contribute to the strengthening of a fairer, more inclusive, and transparent justice system.

Berbeda dengan studi sebelumnya yang lebih menitikberatkan pada keadilan substantif, penelitian ini secara khusus mengupas aspek keadilan prosedural dalam perkara ringan namun berdampak sosial. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada fokus analisis terhadap penerapan keadilan prosedural dalam kasus pidana yang melibatkan terdakwa dari kelompok rentan secara ekonomi. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap penguatan sistem peradilan yang lebih adil, inklusif, dan transparan.

The distribution of goods and services is a vital component of the Islamic economic system, emphasizing the principles of justice, transparency, and divine blessings. In Islamic thought, distribution is not merely an economic activity but also a means to ensure social welfare and equitable asset ownership. This article explores the concept of distribution from an Islamic economic perspective based on sharia principles such as justice (`adl), trustworthiness (amanah), and the prohibition of usury (riba) and hoarding (ihtikar). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes relevant scholarly literature to understand the role of Islamic distribution channels in building an inclusive and fair economic system. It also highlights the influence of Islamic business ethics, maqasid al-shariah, and the concept of khalifah (stewardship) in promoting a distribution process that is just, transparent, and accountable. The findings reveal that Islamic distribution systems are not only economically efficient but also enriched with spiritual and social values rooted in justice and solidarity.

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of administrative sanctions on the compliance level of fishery business actors in the Fishery Management Area (WPP) 711 and its socio-economic impacts. The background of the research is based on the high level of administrative violations, weak supervision, and economic losses due to non-compliant fishing practices. The urgency of this research lies in the pressing need to formulate a fair, efficient, and sustainable monitoring strategy to support national fisheries governance. The method used is a socio-legal approach with primary data. The research results indicate that the compliance level is still low, with a repeat violation rate reaching 38%, influenced by high cost burdens, procedural complexity, and low understanding of regulations. The novelty of this research lies in the empirical identification of structural barriers, such as overlapping authorities and an inadequate supervisor-to-operator ratio, as well as the impact of sanctions on business efficiency and operator adaptation. In conclusion, administrative sanctions have not fully created a deterrent effect and require a more integrated approach. The main recommendations include simplifying technology-based procedures, drafting proportional sanction SOPs, enhancing the capacity of supervisory human resources, and establishing an integrated information system to support effective, fair, and socially-economic sustainable coastal community oversight.
 
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas penerapan sanksi administrasi terhadap tingkat kepatuhan pelaku usaha perikanan di Wilayah Pengelolaan Perikanan (WPP) 711 serta dampak sosial-ekonominya. Latar belakang penelitian didasarkan pada tingginya tingkat pelanggaran administratif, lemahnya pengawasan, serta kerugian ekonomi akibat praktik perikanan yang tidak sesuai aturan. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada kebutuhan mendesak untuk merumuskan strategi pengawasan yang adil, efisien, dan berkelanjutan guna mendukung tata kelola perikanan nasional. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan socio-legal dengan pengumpulan data primer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kepatuhan masih rendah dengan angka pelanggaran berulang mencapai 38%, dipengaruhi oleh tingginya beban biaya, kompleksitas prosedur, dan rendahnya pemahaman terhadap regulasi. Kebaruan dari penelitian ini terletak pada identifikasi empiris hambatan struktural, seperti tumpang tindih kewenangan dan rasio pengawas yang tidak ideal, serta pengaruh sanksi terhadap efisiensi usaha dan adaptasi pelaku. Kesimpulannya, sanksi administrasi belum sepenuhnya menciptakan efek jera dan membutuhkan pendekatan yang lebih terintegrasi. Rekomendasi utama mencakup penyederhanaan prosedur berbasis teknologi, penyusunan SOP sanksi proporsional, peningkatan kapasitas SDM pengawas, dan pembentukan sistem informasi terpadu untuk mendukung pengawasan yang efektif, adil, dan berorientasi pada keberlanjutan sosial-ekonomi masyarakat pesisir.
