The relocation of Indonesia's capital from Jakarta to the Capital City of Nusantara (Ibu Kota Negara/IKN) in East Kalimantan aims to address development inequality and promote equitable economic growth. As IKN’s hinterland, Balikpapan City, Samarinda City, Kutai Kartanegara District, and Paser District are crucial in supporting this vision. This study analyzes the comparative advantages and potential sectors for development in these areas using a quantitative approach with secondary data from 2010 to 2023. Location Quotient (LQ) and Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) analyses identify key sectors, and an overlay analysis is used to conclude which sectors are the leading sectors, visualized through Tableau. Balikpapan has 12 base sectors, with manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing as the strongest. Samarinda has 14 base sectors, led by finance and other services. Kutai Kartanegara District and Paser District rely on agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, and quarrying. Forecasting suggests all sectors in these regions have the potential to become leading industries. Balikpapan City and Samarinda City should optimize the service and industrial sectors, while Kutai Kartanegara District and Paser District must diversify beyond primary industries. This strategy supports inclusive and sustainable growth, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and shaping future IKN policies.

Economic growth in ASEAN countries in recent decades has attracted the attention of many parties, both academics and practitioners. This study evaluates the various factors contributing to ASEAN countries' economic growth. The factors analyzed include human development index, exports, foreign investment, exchange rates, population, and dummy variables (before and after) the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a quantitative approach with the object of research, namely ASEAN countries, from 2018 to 2022. Data sources from the World Bank, the National Statistics Bureau, and other credible sources. Based on the results of the analysis, the human development index and foreign investment have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. In contrast, exports, exchange rates, population, and dummy variables positively and insignificantly impact economic growth. Suggestions that can be given are that each country must pay attention, especially to policies on exports, which include duties, excise, and taxes. In addition, a large quantity of population does not guarantee the success of a nation, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the quality side as well, this can be done by paying attention to the education side which correlates with the demand for labor, so that there is no imbalance between demand and supply of labor.

Public service is a reflection of the relationship between the state and its citizens, measured through the effectiveness, accessibility, and accountability of bureaucracy in fulfilling basic public rights. This article examines public services from an administrative perspective by focusing on the principles of goods categorization (public goods, private goods, club goods, and common goods) and the classification of service types (goods and services). The study adopts a qualitative literature review approach by analyzing scholarly literature and public policy documents. The findings indicate that a precise understanding of public goods classification has strategic implications for policy formulation, resource allocation, and bureaucratic performance evaluation. This study further highlights that public service reform in Indonesia continues to face structural and cultural challenges, particularly in integrating good governance values and new public service principles. The article recommends a conceptual and institutional renewal to ensure that service systems are more adaptive to digital and inclusive societal dynamics.

Arya Global Dinamika adalah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang manufaktur yang dimana barang produksinya melibatkan penggunaan mesin bubut CNC (Computer Numeric Control). Kekasaran permukaan merupakan indikator penting dalam menilai kualitas hasil pembubutan pada mesin CNC. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh variasi kecepatan putar spindle terhadap kekasaran permukaan pada baja karbon rendah S45C. Pengujian ini dilakukan pada pembubutan rata dengan kecepatan putar 600 rpm, 800 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm dan 1500 rpm, kecepatan pemakanan 0,5 mm/rev. Hasil ini menunjukkan kekasaran permukaan menurun secara signifikan seiring peningkatan kecepatan dari 600 rpm hingga 1000 rpm, dari 3,085 µm menjadi 1,049 µm. Namun, pada kecepatan 1200 rpm hingga 1500 rpm kekasaran meningkat kembali menjadi 1,718 µm hingga 2,197 µm. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya kecepatan optimum, dimana kecepatan berlebih justru menurunkan kualitas akibat getaran dan panas berlebih. Dengan demikian, kecepatan putar berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kekasaran, namun perlu dikendalikan untuk hasil maksimal.
