The term "cloud computing" refers to the delivery of numerous services via the Internet. Because of providers that provide cloud services, users can store files and media on faraway servers and subsequently access the items online. Due to the lack of location requirements, this enables anyone to watch them remotely. This design is currently beginning to be implemented in the sphere of education, particularly in universities. In order to determine the factors influencing the adoption of cloud computing in education, previous academics have employed the technology adoption theory, which is discussed in this study. The purpose of this study, which is a systematic literature review, is to identify and assess knowledge gaps about the factors impacting the adoption of cloud computing in education. To fill in any gaps and add to the body of knowledge already in existence, this study will therefore enhance the information by offering a complete examination of the material that is already available.

This paper examines the evolution of regional governance in Indonesia since the reform era, beginning with the replacement of Law Number 5 of 1974 by Law Number 22 of 1999, and its subsequent revision into Law Number 32 of 2004. These legal reforms reflect the nation's efforts to balance centralization and decentralization, with the principle of checks and balances as a foundational element. The article highlights the central role of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) in the formation of regional regulations (Perda), oversight functions, and budget determination. Through literature research, this paper demonstrates that the DPRD holds strategic authority in regional legislation, involving the planning, drafting, discussion, and ratification of Perda. In conclusion, the DPRD plays a crucial role in establishing a democratic and accountable regional governance system in Indonesia.
