Inter-Regional Cooperation Model for Managing the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Tourist Attraction in Sidomulyo Village, Lumajang Regency
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Collaborative Tourism Governance, Community Participation, Inter-Regional Cooperation, Sidomulyo Village, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall This study explores the model of inter-regional cooperation in managing the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall tourist attraction, using three analytical lenses: legal-administrative, community politics, and inter-organizational politics. The research adopts a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis. The data analysis follows the interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that, from a legal-administrative perspective, a formal cooperation agreement between the Lumajang and Malang Regency Governments is urgently needed. The East Java Provincial Government is expected to facilitate this process to resolve ongoing jurisdictional disputes. From the community politics perspective, local stakeholders have demonstrated collective awareness and commitment to preserving and promoting the area's ecotourism potential. However, social tensions remain, particularly due to the dual ticketing practice, whereby visitors are charged both by the Sidomulyo Village Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) at the main entrance and by Sidorenggo residents at the base of the waterfall. From the perspective of inter-organizational politics, each regency government continues to pursue its institutional interests, preventing consensus on the administrative status of the Tumpak Sewu (also known as Coban Sewu) site. This lack of coordination has strained grassroots relations and hindered the implementation of integrated tourism management between the villages of Sidomulyo and Sidorenggo.

Revealing the New Culture of Radio Broadcasting: An Analysis of Changes in the Production, Distribution, and Consumption of Radio Programs
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Community Radio, Digital Transformation, Local Public Broadcasting Institutions (LPBI/LPPL), Media Convergence, Radio Broadcasting, Social Media Culture This study explores the emergence of a new culture within the radio broadcasting industry, focusing on transformations in radio programs' production, distribution, and consumption. The new culture refers to shifts driven by digital transformation, significantly altering media practices. While previous studies have largely examined digitalization in mainstream or commercial media, little attention has been given to its impact on government-owned and community-based radio stations. To address this gap, the study employs a qualitative case study approach, examining two local broadcasting institutions in Indonesia: Serang Gawe FM, a Local Public Broadcasting Institution (LPBI; Lembaga Penyiaran Publik Lokal or LPPL) operated by the Serang Regency Government, and TiRTA FM, a student-run community radio station at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and limited participatory observation, and analyzed through coding and thematic interpretation. Findings reveal that integrating internet-based technologies and social media has introduced new cultural practices in broadcasting. These include using social media to promote programs, conduct live streams, and distribute content via audio streaming platforms, resulting in greater audience reach and enhanced interactivity. The digital transformation has redefined the roles of broadcasters and listeners, fostering more participatory and dynamic communication. Furthermore, it enables local radio stations to connect with audience segments beyond the limitations of traditional FM signal coverage. This study contributes to ongoing discussions on media convergence and digital transformation by demonstrating that these developments are both technological and cultural. It emphasizes the importance of insti…

A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Digital Maturity and Digital Transformation
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Bibliometric Analysis, Digital Capability, Digital Maturity, Digital Transformation, Strategic Alignment, Technology Adoption This study examines the evolving relationship between digital maturity and digital transformation by conducting a bibliometric analysis. Employing a qualitative literature review supported by VOSviewer, it visualizes keyword co-occurrences and topic clusters. 67 Scopus-indexed publications from 2019 to 2023 were analyzed to uncover research trends and thematic patterns. The findings indicate a substantial rise in scholarly attention to this topic over the past five years. Core concepts such as digital transformation, maturity, technology adoption, and sustainable development emerged as central themes. In contrast, e-government and digital capability remain underexplored, suggesting future research opportunities. Theoretically, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of digital maturity, not merely as technological readiness but as a strategic enabler of long-term digital transformation. The study's key contribution is identifying well-developed and under-researched areas and proposing a three-phase digital transformation framework: capability development, strategic alignment, and data-driven sustainable transformation. A key limitation lies in the absence of empirical validation, which underscores the need for future research using primary data and integrating complementary databases.

Culture and Non-Communicable Diseases: Determinants of Hypertension in Tenganan Pegringsingan Village, Karangasem, Bali
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Alcohol Consumption, Balinese Rituals, Cultural Determinants, Hypertension, Medical Anthropology Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute to approximately 74 percent of global deaths, with cardiovascular diseases related to hypertension being the most significant, accounting for 17.9 million deaths each year. In Bali, the prevalence of hypertension has shown a steady increase, reaching 47.7 percent in Karangasem Regency. Existing epidemiological approaches remain insufficient as they focus predominantly on biological and behavioral determinants while overlooking cultural factors that influence health behaviors. This study aims to explore how shared knowledge within the Tenganan Pegringsingan community shapes and reinforces cultural practices that increase the risk of hypertension. Using a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation involving village officials, community elders, leaders of social drinking groups known as sekehe, and individuals participating in metuakan rituals. The findings demonstrate that the interaction between environmental, biological, and cultural factors sustains the practice of metuakan, a communal activity involving the consumption of palm wine (tuak), which is deeply embedded in local religious and social rituals. Long-term alcohol exposure through these practices influences biological processes and psychosocial conditions that affect heart rate and blood pressure. The study concludes that culturally embedded behaviors must be considered in the development of effective hypertension prevention strategies that are contextually grounded in local knowledge and practice.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Maturity Models: A Bibliometric Analysis (2015–2024)
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Bibliometric Analysis, Digital Maturity Models, Digital Transformation, Machine Learning This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing Digital Maturity Models (DMMs) to support digital transformation across various sectors. Although AI technologies have been widely adopted, few studies have explicitly examined how AI influences the dimensions of digital maturity or mapped the evolving research landscape on this subject. To address this gap, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using 430 journal articles published between 2015 and 2024, sourced from the Scopus database. Quantitative methods were employed using R Studio and the Bibliometrix package to analyze publication trends, keyword co-occurrences, and international research collaborations. The findings reveal a notable increase in AI-related DMM publications since 2022, with key themes including technological innovation, strategic transformation, and socio-organizational adaptation. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by offering a systematic overview of research developments, highlighting critical gaps, and laying the groundwork for adaptive AI maturity models. Its novelty lies in applying bibliometric techniques to uncover thematic structures that can inform future research agendas and policy directions in digital transformation.

Subordinated Ecologies and Livelihood Transformation in Post-Mining Bangka Belitung: Community Dynamics in a Post-Extractive Landscape
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Community Agency, Ecological Subordination, Livelihood Transformation, Participatory Reclamation, Post-Extractive Landscape The long-standing tin mining industry in the Bangka Belitung Islands has left a legacy of complex ecological crises, including thousands of abandoned mining pits (kolong), land degradation, and the dislocation of local livelihoods. This study examines how local communities reconstruct their livelihood strategies within a post-extractive landscape characterized by ecological subordination, institutional fragmentation, and asymmetrical power relations. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through content and critical discourse analysis of policy documents, institutional reports, scholarly publications, and online media coverage, the research traces how national development narratives, policy frameworks, and media representations contribute to the socio-ecological marginalization of post-mining areas in Bangka Belitung. The findings reveal that although community initiatives, such as pit reclamation, participatory agro-tourism, and freshwater aquaculture, are emerging, these efforts are often constrained by unclear land access, weak institutional support, and structural exclusion in land governance. Livelihood transformation in post-mining contexts is not linear but unfolds through politicized processes marked by spatial conflict, community agency, and contested resource control. The study underscores the need for recovery policies that are not merely technocratic, but socially and ecologically transformative, positioning local communities as principal actors. The practical implications point to reforming post-mining governance in a contextualized, participatory, and locally grounded manner to achieve long-term sustainability and ecological justice in extractive-affected regions.

Empowering Indigenous Women through Financial Capability: Financial Management Behavior in Eastern Indonesia's Informal Economy
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Economic Empowerment, Financial Capability, Financial Management, Indigenous Women, Informal Economy Income inequality and economic marginalization continue to affect indigenous women in Eastern Indonesia, particularly those engaged in informal economic activities such as traditional market trading. These women often act as primary breadwinners, managing household finances under persistent income constraints. This study investigates how financial capability, the combined influence of financial knowledge and attitude, affects financial management behavior among indigenous women micro-entrepreneurs. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through structured questionnaires from 82 active traders in Jayapura Regency and analyzed using multiple regression techniques. The findings show that both financial knowledge and attitude have a statistically significant and positive impact on financial management, individually and collectively. These results suggest that strengthening financial capability is crucial for enhancing indigenous women's economic resilience and decision-making autonomy in the informal economy. This study contributes to the literature on gendered financial behavior and provides practical insights for local governments and development agencies aiming to design targeted financial literacy interventions in marginalized communities.

Bridging Ethics and Commitment: The Mediating Role of Islamic Work Values in Sharia Banking
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Competence, Employee Performance, Islamic Work Ethics (IWE), Organizational Commitment, Personality This study investigates the influence of personality, competence, and performance on organizational commitment in Islamic banks, with Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) serving as a mediating variable. Conducted in North Maluku, Indonesia, the research employs a quantitative explanatory design and utilizes structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS 24.0 to test the proposed relationships. Data were obtained through closed-ended questionnaires distributed to 175 employees selected via probability sampling across several Islamic banking institutions. The findings reveal that personality and performance have a significant positive effect on organizational commitment, whereas competence does not exert a direct influence. Furthermore, IWE significantly contributes to strengthening organizational commitment by embedding ethical values into workplace behavior. Personality and competence both positively affect the application of IWE, which in turn mediates their relationship with organizational commitment. These results underscore the strategic importance of fostering competence through conflict management training, enhancing the internalization of Islamic ethical principles, and promoting innovation in service delivery.

The Influence of Brand Activism on Consumer Loyalty and Social Change
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Brand Activism, Brand Authenticity, Consumer Loyalty, Perceived Social Change, Values-Based Marketing This study investigates the influence of brand activism on consumer loyalty and perceived social change, with a particular emphasis on the Indonesian consumer context. In an era increasingly shaped by value-oriented consumption, brand activism has evolved as a strategic corporate response that extends beyond conventional corporate social responsibility (CSR). Unlike traditional CSR, which predominantly emphasizes philanthropy and environmental sustainability, brand activism entails a company’s public engagement with sociopolitical issues, thereby fostering stronger ideological alignment with consumers. Grounded in Social Identity Theory and Stakeholder Theory, this research examines the extent to which perceived authenticity and consistency of brand activism initiatives affect both consumer behavior and broader societal perceptions. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected via an online survey involving 300 participants with prior exposure to brand activism campaigns. The proposed model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that brand activism has a significant positive effect on consumer loyalty (? = 0.58, p < .001) and enhances perceptions of social change (? = 0.42, p < .001). Moreover, consumer loyalty was found to mediate the relationship between brand activism and perceived social change (? = 0.35, p < .001), suggesting that loyal consumers contribute to the amplification of activism-driven societal outcomes. These findings have practical implications for marketers and brand strategists, highlighting the importance of sustained, genuine engagement with social causes. The study advances marketing scholarship by elucidating the connection between corporate performance and social transformation. Future research should consider longitudinal designs, objective social impac…

Beyond Recycling: Embedding Circular Economy and Social Values in Urban MSMEs of Malang
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Circular Economy, Consumer Satisfaction, Green Technology, MSMEs, Sustainable Development Growing global awareness of environmental issues has led to the increasing adoption of circular economy principles as a practical approach to building efficient and sustainable systems. In Indonesia, particularly in Malang City, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the national economy, contributing over 60% to the gross domestic product (GDP) and employing more than 97% of the workforce. This study aims to examine the relationship and influence of green technology adoption and human resource (HR) training on customer satisfaction, within the context of resource optimization through circular economy practices. Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 100 MSMEs selected through simple random sampling to ensure sectoral diversity and minimize sampling bias. Data were processed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results indicate that HR training does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction among MSMEs in Malang City. In contrast, the implementation of green technology and circular economy practices positively contributes to performance improvement, particularly when linked to customer satisfaction and sustainability outcomes across economic, environmental, and social dimensions.

Structural Modeling of Behavioral Predictors and Stakeholder-Prioritized Strategies for Green Consumption Among Indonesian Youth
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Behavioral Predictors, Green Consumption, Indonesian Youth, SDG 12, Stakeholder Strategy, Structural Equation Modeling This study examines the behavioral determinants and strategic enablers of green consumption among Indonesian youth, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates structural modeling via partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with multi-stakeholder prioritization through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Quantitative data collected from 229 respondents aged 18–35 indicate that attitude (? = 0.89), perceived behavioral control (? = 0.16), and actual behavior (? = 0.70) significantly influence the willingness to engage in green consumption. Interestingly, perceived behavioral control also exerts a negative effect (? = –0.58), pointing to possible psychological or systemic constraints. Complementary qualitative insights were obtained from focus group discussions involving 25 stakeholders representing government agencies, non-governmental organizations, academia, and the private sector. These discussions identified and ranked key sustainability strategies, with top priorities including the integration of environmental topics into formal education, the expansion of eco-friendly public infrastructure, and the enhancement of youth-focused awareness campaigns. The findings underscore the dual necessity of fostering individual behavioral intentions and providing institutional support through coordinated stakeholder action. This study offers evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and industry actors to strengthen youth engagement in sustainable consumption initiatives.

SAPA 129 as a Government Strategy for Protecting Women from Violence in Aceh Province
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Aceh, Digital Inclusion, Gender-Based Violence, SAPA 129, Social Protection This study investigates the role of SAPA 129 as a government-initiated service in safeguarding women who have experienced violence in Aceh Province. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that SAPA 129 facilitates access to legal, psychological, and social assistance while offering an accessible digital reporting system. It has also contributed to raising community awareness of gender-based violence. Nonetheless, its implementation remains challenged by limited digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and deeply rooted patriarchal norms. Drawing on structural-functional theory, the service performs both manifest and latent functions within the broader social protection framework. Manifest functions include formal assistance and structured support, while latent functions involve increasing social solidarity and empowering survivors to report abuse. However, the presence of dysfunctions, such as service gaps in remote areas and insufficient human resources, continues to hinder its effectiveness. The study recommends expanding outreach efforts, strengthening interagency coordination, and promoting value transformation through community-based education. These insights are intended to inform more inclusive and responsive gender protection policies while advancing sociological understanding of violence prevention in localized contexts.

Empowering Local Creators and Governance for Sustainable Village Tourism in Bandung Regency
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Governance, Local Creators, Rural Tourism, Sustainability, Village Bandung Regency Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2020 regarding the development of 100 tourism villages does not explicitly regulate the governance mechanism of tourism villages. Effective governance requires the involvement of individuals as local creators who are capable of initiating and sustaining tourism village management. This study aims to identify the qualities of local creators in driving tourism village governance and determining the sustainability of tourism village communities in Bandung Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach using primary data through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions, as well as secondary data obtained from village records. The informants consist of 23 individuals analyzed at the individual level. Data analysis includes the stages of data reduction, data display, verification, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that local initiators with strong leadership, education, experience, capacity, and innovative initiatives serve as local creators capable of mobilizing tourism village governance mechanisms. They operate through penta-helix collaboration, role-sharing dialogues, and profit distribution to ensure community sustainability. Community sustainability is marked by regional and national achievements based on indicators such as increasing tourist numbers, economic gains, and culturally and environmentally based development. Local creators and governance structures interact dynamically to ensure the long-term sustainability of tourism village communities. In conclusion, competent local creators act as key agents in driving adaptive and transformative governance mechanisms that ensure the sustainability of rural tourism communities in Bandung Regency.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and Consumer Behaviour: What is Next? (A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Literature Review)
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Consumer Behavior, Decision-Making, Digital Marketing, Fear of Missing Out, Systematic Literature Review This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) about consumer behavior across three major academic fields: Business, Management, Economics, and Finance (BMEF); Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH); and Psychology and Decision Sciences (PSD). A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using bibliographic tools such as VOS Viewer, Publish or Perish, and Mendeley to analyse 220 scientific publications indexed in the Scopus database and published by reputable sources, including Emerald, Sage, Wiley, and Elsevier. The analysis results show a significant research gap between “Fear of Missing Out” and “Consumer Behavior” in the targeted fields. The analysis identifies ten thematic clusters, each revealing the conceptual and disciplinary links between FOMO and consumer-related phenomena. This study highlights the key contributors, emerging subthemes, and influential publications that shape current understanding of FOMO across business, social sciences, and psychology. By bridging this research gap, this study underscores the importance of FOMO as a psychological construct that influences consumer engagement and purchasing behaviour in digital environments. The findings also suggest practical implications for marketers seeking to optimize digital marketing strategies by leveraging FOMO-driven triggers. Furthermore, this study provides valuable directions for future research on decision-making processes, consumer behaviour dynamics, and the psychological impact of digital technologies, while emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches to deepen theoretical development and address ethical considerations in digital marketing practices.

The Influence of Online Visitor Reviews on Young Tourists' Adoption of Information
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Central Route, Elaboration Likelihood Model, Google Review, Information Adoption, Online Consumer Review, Young Tourists The rapid growth of digital platforms in Indonesia has changed the way young travelers adopt information. Young travelers increasingly rely on user-generated content available on digital platforms, particularly Online Consumer Reviews (OCR) such as Google Reviews. This study examines the impact of the central route dimensions, which are part of the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) message processing route, on the information adoption behavior of young travelers visiting the Millennium Glow Garden tourist attraction, a popular destination among youth due to its high-tech offerings. The study uses data from 385 respondents who have visited this destination with the help of Google Reviews. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted on the six central route dimensions: information timeliness, information understandability, information relevance, information accuracy, value-added information, and information completeness. The findings provide strong evidence that timely, easily understandable, relevant, accurate, value-added, and complete information significantly influences the information adoption behavior of young travelers. These findings confirm the applicability of central route processing in the ELM within the context of tourism, particularly among young travelers who are closely tied to the digital evolution.

Ecological Identity and Social Representation of Green MSMEs: Ergo-Iconic Value, Performativity, and Representational Resistance in the Platform Economy
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Ecological Identity, Ergo-Iconic Value, Indonesian Green MSMEs, Platform Economy, Social Representation Amid growing market demands for sustainability, several green micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia have begun to construct ecological identities through digital media as a strategy for value differentiation. However, these representational practices go beyond mere commercial promotion. They reflect a complex interplay between local values, global consumer expectations, and the algorithmic logic embedded within digital platforms. This study investigates how green MSME actors construct, negotiate, and perform social representations of sustainability in digital spaces. Employing an interpretive qualitative approach, the study adopts a multi-sited case study design. It uses visual-narrative analysis to examine digital campaign content from MSMEs engaged in plastic recycling, ecoprint textile production, and natural honey harvesting. Data were collected through online observation, digital document analysis, and limited narrative interviews, and analyzed through the theoretical lenses of social representation, ecological identity, performativity, and platform economy. The findings reveal three dominant patterns: (1) the symbolization of ergo-iconic value, combining tangible ecological practices with aesthetic visualizations as symbolic capital; (2) performative and algorithm-driven sustainability, where content is crafted to attract visibility within a competitive platform ecosystem; and (3) representational resistance, where certain MSMEs choose to highlight complex ecological processes that may not be “Instagrammable” but are instead educational and contextually grounded. The study concludes that the ecological identities of green MSMEs in Indonesia are shaped through representational labor that is symbolic, relational, and conditioned by structural asymmetries within the digital economy. These findings contrib…

Sharia Investment Literacy, Religiosity, and Risk Profile in Shaping Investment Decisions on the Bibit Platform: The Moderating Role of Gender
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Fintech, Gender Moderation, Generation Z, Investment Decision-Making, Millennials, Religiosity, Risk Profile, Sharia Investment Literacy This study investigates the impact of Sharia investment literacy, religiosity, and risk profile on investment decision-making among users of the Bibit platform, with gender serving as a moderating variable. Although financial technology usage has surged among Millennials and Generation Z, participation in Sharia-compliant investments remains relatively low. This gap may be attributed to limited Sharia investment literacy, varying degrees of religiosity, and diverse individual risk profiles. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 221 Muslim investors on the Bibit platform via an online survey and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that both Sharia investment literacy and religiosity significantly and positively influence investment decisions, whereas risk profile shows no significant effect. Additionally, gender moderates the relationship between religiosity and investment decisions, but does not moderate the effects of Sharia investment literacy or risk profile. These findings offer valuable insights for financial platform developers and policymakers seeking to enhance Sharia investment engagement through targeted literacy programs and inclusive, gender-sensitive strategies for younger demographics.

The Influence of Information Systems and Political Participation on Simultaneous Regional Head Election Effectiveness During the COVID-19 Pandemic
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: COVID-19 Pandemic, Electoral Effectiveness, Indonesia, Information Systems, Political Participation, Simultaneous Regional Head Elections The COVID-19 pandemic required new approaches to organizing regional elections, highlighting the use of information systems to reduce infection risk and improve election management effectiveness. This study examines the influence of information systems and political participation on the efficacy of simultaneous regional head elections during the pandemic. A quantitative design determined a sample of 402 respondents with the Slovin formula at a 95% confidence level. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 12 indicators of information systems, 21 of political participation, and 12 of electoral effectiveness, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL. The results show that information systems exerted a positive but statistically insignificant effect on electoral effectiveness (T-value = 0.79, below the 1.96 threshold). In contrast, political participation demonstrated a significant positive impact (T-value = 6.79), underscoring its decisive role in achieving effective election outcomes under pandemic conditions. These findings emphasize the importance of citizen engagement for sustaining democratic processes during public health crises and illustrate how digital technologies can support, but not replace, active political participation.

Bordered by Nickel: Multi-Impact of Mining Governance on the Konawe–North Konawe Boundary, Indonesia
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Boundary Disputes, Decentralization, Indonesia, Local Geopolitics, Multi-Impact Cascade Decentralization in Indonesia is designed to strengthen local development. Yet, the prolonged boundary dispute between Konawe and North Konawe Regencies reveals a governance paradox in which resource abundance within contested territories generates cascading multidimensional impacts. This qualitative case study employs purposive sampling of government officials, electoral supervisors, community leaders, and industry actors, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and documentary analysis, and processed in NVivo 12 using iterative coding. The findings demonstrate that unresolved territorial fragmentation, compounded by intensive nickel mining, produces a multi-impact cascade: environmental degradation manifested in flooding, soil erosion, water and air pollution; economic uncertainty that constrains welfare distribution; social tensions arising from labor absorption and demographic shifts; political vulnerabilities such as duplication risks in the Final Voters List (DPT); and governance stagnation in land administration and investment. By advancing the concept of local spatial geopolitics of mining, this study shows how boundary disputes create a governance vacuum that amplifies ecological, economic, social, political, and administrative risks, and calls for joint-boundary management mechanisms, strengthened environmental regulation, and coordinated law enforcement to restore legitimacy and resilience in mining regions.

Policy Volatility and Normative Challenges: American Engagement in Syria (2011–2024) and the Reconfiguration of Global Governance
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Global Governance, Normative Challenges, Policy Volatility, Syria, U.S. Foreign Policy The Syrian conflict, ongoing since 2011, has revealed the volatility of American foreign policy and raised critical normative questions for global governance. This article examines the trajectory of U.S. engagement in Syria from 2011 to 2024, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between evolving policy strategies and international norms. Utilizing a qualitative case study design that combines document analysis and process tracing, the study identifies three major phases: Obama’s ambivalent interventionism, Trump’s pragmatic retrenchment, and Biden’s selective return to multilateralism. The findings demonstrate that domestic political polarization, geopolitical rivalries involving Russia, Iran, and Turkey, and normative tensions surrounding sovereignty and humanitarian protection collectively shaped U.S. policy volatility. These oscillations undermined America’s credibility as a consistent norm entrepreneur, contributing to the erosion of unipolar governance structures. Consequently, the Syrian conflict has accelerated a transition toward multipolar and fragmented global governance, in which non-Western powers and non-state actors increasingly influence outcomes. The article argues that addressing policy volatility and normative fragmentation requires deeper engagement with regional powers and non-state actors while reinforcing multilateral frameworks to manage protracted crises in an era of multipolarity.

Developing an Enabling Environment Framework to Analyze the Impact of Business Infrastructure on MSME Growth through Market Connectivity in Balikpapan City
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Business Infrastructure, Enabling Environment Framework, Innovation, Market Connectivity, MSMEs, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) This study aims to examine the influence of market connectivity on the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Balikpapan City and to develop an Enabling Environment Framework that supports MSME growth. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), data were collected through questionnaires distributed to MSMEs across various sectors. The results of the analysis indicate that market connectivity positively influences MSME innovation. However, its direct effect on MSME growth is insignificant, suggesting that innovation is a mediating variable in this relationship. The study concludes that while market connectivity does not directly promote growth, the innovation it stimulates is crucial for enhancing MSME performance. The recommendations include strengthening digital infrastructure, providing targeted training programs, and facilitating business networks to create a more conducive environment for MSME development. The proposed Enabling Environment Framework is expected to serve as a practical guide for stakeholders to enhance the contribution of MSMEs to the local economy.

type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), Human Resource Development, Indonesia 2045 Vision, Optimization Strategies, Strategic Challenges This study analyzes the strategic challenges and optimization pathways for human resource development through Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), which is aligned with the national vision of Golden Indonesia 2045. The research addresses critical gaps stemming from persistent stunting rates (19.8%), heavy reliance on food imports (80% of milk needs), and ongoing public concerns over program transparency and accountability, despite a substantial budget allocation of IDR 71 trillion serving 19.47 million beneficiaries. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study integrates big data from social media, online news, and academic publications. The analysis uses NVivo 15 Plus software to explore word frequency, sentiment polarity, and thematic factor categorization related to MBG implementation. Results reveal key challenges such as infrastructure limitations, import dependency, perceived corruption risks, and predominantly neutral public sentiment. To optimize outcomes, the study recommends three strategic directions: (1) enhancing national food self-sufficiency, (2) establishing Nutrition Food Processing Centers (Sentra Pengolahan Pangan Gizi, SPPG) across all regions, and (3) recruiting Indonesian Development Driving Graduates (Sarjana Penggerak Pembangunan Indonesia, SPPI) to ensure professional program management and policy compliance. The MBG initiative represents a transformative step in reshaping Indonesia’s nutrition and education landscape, catalyzing the development of competitive, high-quality human capital essential for achieving Indonesia’s long-term socio-economic vision.

Cybersecurity Politics in Building Cyber Sovereignty in Indonesia Through Strengthening the Role of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Cybersecurity Politics, Cyber Sovereignty, Governance, National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), Policy Integration In an increasingly interconnected digital world, cybersecurity has emerged as a crucial element of national resilience and global political competition. The growing frequency of cyberattacks and data breaches underscores the urgency for Indonesia to strengthen its institutional capacity in securing cyberspace and protecting national sovereignty. In this context, cybersecurity politics determine how state institutions negotiate authority, coordinate policies, and mobilize resources to build digital resilience. This study analyzes the dynamics of cybersecurity politics and their influence on Indonesia’s efforts to achieve cyber sovereignty through the strengthening of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN). Using a qualitative descriptive approach supported by literature review and policy analysis, the study applies the theory of state sovereignty and the framework of cybersecurity political factors. Findings reveal that BSSN plays a pivotal role as the state’s representative in maintaining cyber sovereignty amid complex inter-agency coordination, overlapping mandates, and regulatory uncertainty. Political, technological, and institutional factors significantly shape Indonesia’s cybersecurity governance, influencing how the state responds to both domestic vulnerabilities and international cyber threats. Nevertheless, the persistence of sectoral ego, fragmented authority, and the absence of a comprehensive Cyber Security and Resilience Law continue to hinder policy integration and weaken institutional effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening BSSN’s authority, through legal ratification, increased budgetary support, organizational reform, and enhanced cyber diplomacy, is essential to establish an integrated and adaptive national cybersecurity system capable of safeguarding Indonesia’s sovereignty in cyb…

Communication Actions of Muslim Employees in Indonesian Catholic Institutions: A Study of Message Meaning in Organizational Culture
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Communication Actions, Indonesian Catholic Institutions, Organizational Culture The study focuses on communication actions and organizational culture that prioritize the meaning of organizational members whose values differ from those of their organization. The study aims to describe the communication actions of Muslim employees due to the meaning of messages in organizational culture in Indonesian Catholic institutions. Using a qualitative approach, an interpretive paradigm, and a phenomenological method. Data collection techniques through interviews and observations. The study's subjects were Muslim employees at four Catholic universities in East Java who met the criteria. The data analysis technique followed the Moustakas sequence. The study's findings on the communication actions of Muslim employees in Catholic institutions are reflected in interactional communication, with adjustments to communicants. Contextual communication actions through the willingness to position themselves, listen, and understand the cultural context. Improvisational communication actions through communication styles with an emotional, flexible, open, and gimmick approach. Episodic communication actions through the participation of Muslim employees in retreat, recollection, and patron day activities. Virtually no previous research has used the model of organizational culture and organizational communication as a cultural performance to examine the experience of multireligious religiosity in religious organizations in the Indonesian context. This research also interprets it using a functional-performative integration framework. This study offers a multidisciplinary approach that bridges organizational culture theory, organizational communication theory, and religious studies—a practice rarely employed in studies of organizational communication in multireligious contexts in Indonesia.

Social Media Is an Illusion: Faking Tendencies on Social Media – A Systematic Review
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Faking Tendencies, Online Behavior, Self-Concept, Self-Presentation The expansion of social media platforms has made it easier for people to present themselves online. However, this self-presentation is often carried out by displaying only the most favorable aspects of oneself, with little consideration for authenticity. Such behavior becomes a form of faking tendency aimed at gaining advantage through curated self-presentation. This tendency may alter and influence an individual’s self-concept as they attempt to stay aligned and consistent with the image they present on social media. Yet these alterations cannot change the fact that their online persona may remain far removed from their actual identity. A total of 10 articles were included in this review. The methodology began with a selection of studies based on their basic characteristics and relevance to the topic. Second, all selected articles were summarized and reviewed. Third, the information gathered from the review was synthesized, including the effects of self-presentation on self-concept, the processes of self-concept alteration, and the faking tendencies that may emerge during these processes. Overall, this article outlines several potential directions for future research.

The MSME sector plays a strategic role in the national economy, particularly in job creation and its contribution to GDP. However, employees in this sector often face challenges such as production pressures, limited opportunities for professional development, and high workloads, all of which can affect performance. The quality of human resources, including limited skills, is also a persistent issue among leather artisans. This study employs a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 186 employees of leather-related MSMEs. The results indicate that career development, work-life balance, and stress management have significant impacts, both individually and simultaneously, on improving employee performance. Based on these findings, the research proposes implementation strategies such as skills training programs, flexible work policies, and work-environment-based stress management initiatives. Training provided by relevant agencies, including management and technical skills development, along with the provision of supporting equipment and facilities, is expected to improve production outcomes and product quality. This research offers both theoretical and practical contributions and serves as a valuable reference for MSME owners in managing human resources more effectively and sustainably.
