Peran Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan dalam Program Wajib Belajar 13 Tahun di Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara
type: item
description: The 13-Year Compulsory Education Program, officially launched in the 2025/2026 academic year, establishes Early Childhood Education (ECE) as a crucial foundation for improving Human Resources (HR) quality. Kutai Kartanegara Regency implements this program through Regent Regulation Number 16 of 2022 on Pre-School ECE. This study aims to analyze the role of the Kutai Kartanegara Education and Culture Office (Disdikbud Kukar) in executing the program, employing Ryaas Rasyid's theory of governmental roles: regulator, dynamizer, and facilitator. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that Disdikbud Kukar has carried out its regulatory role through proactive local policy issuance and participatory supervision; its dynamizer role through sustainable parenting programs and multi-channel public outreach, although some parents still undervalue ECE; and its facilitator role through the provision of infrastructure and teacher competence development. This study concludes that strengthening public outreach, ensuring equitable access to ECE services, and improving the quality of facilities and educators are essential to optimizing the 13-Year Compulsory Education Program in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.

Solidaritas Orang Tulehu dan Orang Buton di Negeri Tulehu
type: item
description: The people in the Land of Tulehu are a society characterized by a homogeneous society in the Orang Tulehu community, but in the social development of the community until this decade, the existence of the Buton People in the lordship or rights of the Orang Tulehu territory cannot be denied to have existed and settled together in a common settlement area. In this social reality, the social process through social interaction occurs between these two communities and ultimately forms social cohesion that is strengthened by common social solidarity in the environment and areas of common social life. The creation of social cohesion and solidarity between two people with different socio-cultural lives since the arrival of the Buton people to the land of the Tulehu people, gives an idea of the social reality, that there is good solidarity between the two, and in the end does not cause conflicts or social friction between the Tulehu people and the Buton people. Based on the conditions and situations described by the Tulehu and Buton people, this study shows that the Tulehu and Buton people are able to maintain the social solidarity that has been created for so long from their ancestors by building cooperative relations between others, and even open to accepting inter-ethnic marriages, which ultimately creates social cohesion and sustainable social solidarity.

Komitmen Pemerintah Kabupaten Jeneponto dalam Pengembangan Usaha Garam Rakyat (PUGAR) Sebagai Upaya Mensejahterakan Masyarakat
type: item
description: This paper analyzes the commitment of the Jeneponto Regency Government in implementing the People's Salt Business Development Program and its implications for the welfare of coastal communities. The main issue of this study is the limited capacity and consistency of local governments in supporting the sustainable implementation of the program. The purpose of this paper is to assess the role of local government institutions as a determining factor in the effectiveness of salt business development policies. The method used is a literature study by examining scientific sources, policy documents, and relevant previous research results. The results of the study show that there are still gaps in policy implementation, as reflected in the uneven distribution of assistance, weak technical assistance, low coordination between agencies, and limited understanding of salt production technology among farmers. These conditions have resulted in the program's objectives not being optimally achieved. The effectiveness of the People's Salt Business Development Program depends on strengthening local government governance, increasing the capacity of supporting resources, and expanding the active participation of coastal communities in all stages of program implementation.

Strategi Modal Politik Bourdieu dalam Kemenangan Andi Sumangerukka Pada Pilkada Sulawesi Tenggara 2024
type: item
description: This study is motivated by the victory of Andi Sumangerukka in the 2024 Southeast Sulawesi Regional Head Election despite not being a native figure genealogically or culturally. This study aims to analyze Andi Sumangerukka’s winning strategy through the use of political capital in local political contestation. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that Andi Sumangerukka’s victory was influenced not only by economic strength, but also by his ability to build social networks, utilize digital media, adapt local cultural symbols, and establish a strong leadership image within society. In addition, the study found a shift in the political orientation of Southeast Sulawesi society from identity-based politics toward more rational considerations of candidates’ capacity and leadership quality. The study concludes that the effective management of various forms of political capital plays an important role in winning local political contestation.

Warung Kopi Sebagai Ruang Politik Akar Rumput: Analisis Street-Level Politics dalam Demokrasi Indonesia
type: item
description: This study examines coffee stalls (Warkop) as informal political spaces that reflect grassroots democratic practices in Indonesia. Warkop functions not only as a site of everyday social interaction but also as an arena for spontaneous and relatively egalitarian political discussions among people from diverse backgrounds. However, the relationship between the exchange of political ideas in these spaces and local practices of patronage and clientelism remains underexplored. This study employs an analytical literature review method by synthesizing various sources and secondary data on political dynamics in informal social spaces, with a focus on everyday political practices and power relations based on personal networks. The findings reveal a dual function of Warkop: on the one hand, it serves as a space for information exchange, public opinion formation, and the strengthening of socio-political networks among citizens; on the other hand, it acts as a medium for local elites to mediate, build, and sustain patronage practices. These findings suggest that Warkop represents an ambiguous form of grassroots democracy, as it encourages political participation while simultaneously reproducing transactional power relations.

Elite Settlement dan Stabilitas Politik dalam Transisi Demokrasi Indonesia: Relasi Megawati Soekarnoputri dan Hamzah Haz Pasca-Krisis Politik 2001
type: item
description: This paper examines the 2001 political crisis, which culminated in the impeachment of President Abdurrahman Wahid, as a pivotal moment in Indonesia’s post-Reformasi democratic transition. The main issue examined is the nature of the political relationship between Megawati Soekarnoputri and Hamzah Haz, representing the nationalist PDIP and the Islamic PPP respectively. The aim of this research is to analyse the form of elite compromise that occurred in the formation of national leadership in 2001. The research employs a qualitative case study design, involving document and media analysis and in-depth interviews with key informants. The findings indicate that the Megawati–Hamzah Haz relationship reflected an elite settlement through rapid compromise, a shared understanding of the rules of political competition, and mutual security guarantees between elites. In conclusion, the 2001 settlement arose from pragmatic calculations rather than ideological convergence, and played a role in creating political stability until 2004.

Evaluasi Kebijakan Pengembangan UMKM di Kabupaten Majene: Pendekatan Realistic Evaluation
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate policies for the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Majene Regency using the Realistic Evaluation approach with the context–mechanism–outcome (CMO) framework. The research employed a qualitative descriptive-exploratory method to gain an in-depth understanding of policy needs and implementation dynamics in local MSME development. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, including local government officials, MSME owners, academics, financial institutions, and community representatives. The findings indicate that Regent Regulation Number 11 of 2020 and Regent Regulation Number 33 of 2022 contributed positively to sustaining the economic resilience of MSMEs during periods of crisis and post-crisis recovery. However, policy implementation remains largely administrative and top-down, limiting its capacity to promote sustainable business transformation. In the context dimension, low digital literacy, limited market accessibility, and weak institutional capacity reduced policy effectiveness. In the mechanism dimension, insufficient business mentoring and limited multi-stakeholder collaboration constrained the development of an adaptive empowerment ecosystem. In the outcome dimension, the policies mainly generated short-term improvements in productivity and economic stability without significantly strengthening competitiveness and entrepreneurial self-reliance.

Dekolonisasi Ekonomi dan Konservasi Hutan Berbasis Adat dalam Kosmologi Ekologis Masyarakat Tepera di Distrik Ravenirara Kabupaten Jayapura
type: item
description: The ecological crisis of the Anthropocene demands a re-evaluation of the technocratic conservation paradigm, which tends to subordinate the ontologies of Indigenous peoples. This study aims to reconstruct the ecological cosmology of the Tepera indigenous community in Yongsu Desoyo Village, Ravenirara District, Jayapura Regency, and to formulate a model of economic decolonization grounded in local wisdom. Employing a critical ethnographic approach through in-depth interviews with customary leaders and participant observation, the research is framed by Habermasian Modernity theory and a Critical-Practical Policy perspective. The findings reveal three principal results. First, the philosophy of Bu Suwe Kani Suwe (The Power of Water is the Power of Land) articulates a triadic water-land-tree paradigm that constitutes the ontological foundation of pre-colonial conservation practices, while the concept of Desoyo as "I am the Village Sprout" affirms that customary sovereignty is rooted in the ancestral ethnoecological verification protocols. Second, the "Sago Tree" metaphor functions as a socio-political mechanism of resilience that positions customary leadership as a source of equitable livelihood distribution. Third, the 2019 flash flood exemplifies the colonization of the lifeworld by system logic, generating a twofold vulnerability of ecological degradation and economic precarity. This study proposes a "government-as-distributor" model to sever dependency on extractive economies, while advocating the integration of customary law into public policy to facilitate Yongsu Desoyo's transition toward Customary Village (Kampung Adat) status.

Fenomena Menggadaikan Barang Pada Mahasiswa Perantau Asal Manggarai di Malang dalam Perspektif Teori Habitus Pierre Bourdieu
type: item
description: The phenomenon of pawning belongings among students living away from home is a survival strategy in the face of economic constraints. This study aims to understand the practice of pawning among students from Manggarai living in Malang City using Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical perspective. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with seven informants, supplemented by observation and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that pawnbroking is generally carried out by pledging items of high economic value. The main factors driving this practice are economic constraints and urgent needs to meet basic necessities. Pawnbroking is chosen because it is considered a quick solution, although it has the potential to lead to financial dependence. From Bourdieu’s perspective, this practice is the result of the interaction between habitus, economic capital, and social capital within the context of migrant life.

Perang Narasi Asimetris dalam Konflik Iran–Amerika Serikat Analisis Komunikasi Politik dan Propaganda Daring
type: item
description: Social media, particularly platforms like X and Truth Social, has emerged as a strategic arena in contemporary international conflicts, enabling state actors to produce and contest political meaning beyond conventional diplomatic and military channels. This article examines digital narrative warfare in the Iran–United States conflict from June 2025 to April 2026 by analyzing the online political communication of U.S. President Donald J. Trump alongside Iran’s responses through official embassy accounts. Employing critical discourse analysis, the study identifies a marked asymmetry in communication strategies: Trump constructs a narrative of dominance through personalistic, hyperbolic, and spectacular rhetoric, whereas Iran responds with irony, linguistic minimalism, and satire as a form of digital counter-propaganda. The article argues that these practices represent a manifestation of ironic counter-propaganda within post-material-violence narrative warfare, wherein conflict is sustained through meta-narrative delegitimization rather than direct counter-framing. Theoretically, this research contributes to the conceptualization of second-order narrative delegitimization and advances the understanding of digital diplomacy as an instrument of symbolic power in contemporary international politics.

Penerapan E-Kinerja dalam Meningkatkan Transparansi dan Akuntabilitas Aparatur Sipil Negara di Distrik Misool Timur Kabupaten Raja Ampat
type: item
description: This study was motivated by the need to strengthen the performance management of the Civil Service through a digital system capable of enhancing transparency and accountability in work, particularly in island regions with limited infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-performance in enhancing the transparency and accountability of the Civil Service in East Misool District, Raja Ampat Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of officials involved in the use of e-performance. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data presentation, as well as drawing and verifying conclusions. The research results indicate that e-performance has facilitated the more systematic recording of civil servants’ work activities, strengthened the traceability of performance reports, and supported managerial oversight of employees’ task execution. From an accountability perspective, e-performance encourages civil servants to be more responsible, as work reports serve as the basis for performance evaluation and assessment. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to limited internet and electricity access, the archipelagic geographical conditions, and the technological capabilities of some employees. This study concludes that e-performance plays a positive role in strengthening transparency and accountability among civil servants, but requires support in the form of digital infrastructure, training for employees, and adaptive reporting mechanisms.

Nalar Politik Kewilayaan Kesultanan Tidore: Studi Transmigrasi Lokal dan Makna Realitas Sosial Orang Tidore di Halmahera
type: item
description: This article aims to examine and analyse the political reasoning of the Tidore Sultanate regarding local transmigration policies and to explore the new social reality of the Tidore people in Halmahera, who have demonstrated resilience in the face of socio-political change, from the perspective of social capital. The methodology employed is qualitative descriptive, utilising a historical approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis, and subsequently analysed according to predefined criteria. The findings of this study reveal some interesting phenomena. Firstly, the political rationale of the Tidore Sultanate centred on the arguments put forward by Sultan Zainal Abidin. There were four key arguments put forward by the sultanate regarding the transmigration programme: (a) the mobilisation of Islamic forces from Tidore to the Halmahera lowlands (Islamisation); (b) the prevention of Christianisation among the Sangir and Tobelo-Galela tribes in the North Oba region; (c) anticipation of settlement migration from Java to areas outside Java; (d) local migration to Halmahera as part of a political security and defence strategy in the run-up to the struggle for West Irian. Secondly, the new social reality of the Tidore people in Halmahera has revitalised social modalities—marong, galasi and galoli—in search of new social meaning. These mechanisms are underpinned by the community’s social compliance and cultural spirituality

Analisis Teoritis Fenomena Calon Tunggal Kota Samarinda Berdasarkan Konsep Kompetisi Politik Joseph Schumpeter
type: item
description: This article aims to conduct a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of single candidates in the Samarinda City regional head elections, using Joseph Schumpeter’s concept of political competition. The method employed in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with a theoretical analytical approach. This study utilises secondary data obtained through a literature review, comprising books, academic articles, official news reports, official websites, and various documents relevant to the subject of study. Data analysis was conducted conceptually by examining and linking Joseph Schumpeter’s theory of political competition with the empirical conditions observed in the single-candidate phenomenon in Samarinda City. Through this approach, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the alignment between theoretical concepts and the empirical realities unfolding on the ground. The findings indicate that the phenomenon of a single candidate in the Samarinda regional elections reflects a crisis of electoral competition due to the dominance of the incumbent, large party coalitions, and weak party cadre development. Procedurally, this situation is still considered legitimate as the election was conducted in accordance with the applicable regulations. However, within the framework of Schumpeterian political competition, the 2024 Samarinda mayoral election essentially fails to meet the criteria of procedural democracy, as there was no competition amongst political elites during its conduct.

Challenges of Penta Helix Collaboration in Kandua Raya Waterfall Tourism Development, Kedang Ipil
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the Penta Helix collaboration in the development of Kandua Raya Waterfall tourism in Kedang Ipil Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Kandua Raya Waterfall has significant potential as a nature and culture-based ecotourism destination due to its natural beauty, biodiversity, and the identity of the indigenous community. However, its development still faces various challenges, including limited infrastructure, low investment, weak stakeholder coordination, and threats of land conversion caused by the expansion of oil palm plantations and mining activities. This study employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies as data collection techniques. The data were analyzed thematically to identify the roles, contributions, and obstacles faced by each actor within the Penta Helix framework, consisting of government, academia, the private sector, communities, and the media. The findings reveal that the government, communities, academia, and media have actively contributed to tourism development, while the private sector remains suboptimal and tends to prioritize extractive industries. Therefore, strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration, enhancing community capacity, and implementing environmental protection policies are essential to achieve sustainable tourism development.

Distribusi Peran Gender Pada Komunitas Amarima Hatuhaha Pulau Haruku, Maluku Tengah: Analisis Sosiologi Gender, Kekuasaan dan Kearifan Lokal di Pasar Mardika
type: item
description: Economic activities concentrated in Ambon City’s Mardika Market reveal a shift toward women playing an increasingly dominant role in the trade sector and the management of household finances. However, this shift does not automatically eliminate the role of men or the traditional values that have long underpinned the community’s social life. This study aims to analyze the distribution of gender roles within the Amarima Hatuhaha community on Haruku Island, Central Maluku, known as the “community of five sister villages” (Pelau, Kailolo, Rohomoni, Kabau, and Hulaliu). This community upholds the value of “orang basudara” (siblings) as the foundation of its social, economic, and traditional life. The study employs a qualitative approach using field observation and in-depth interviews with merchants and workers from the Hatuhaha community who are active at Mardika Market in Ambon City. The findings indicate that gender-based division of labor remains distinct, with men predominantly working in physically demanding sectors such as port laborers and motorcycle taxi drivers, while women dominate the trade sector. Women bear a double workload because they combine domestic and economic roles, yet they exercise significant control over the family’s finances. Customary norms are adaptive and non-restrictive; rather, they serve as a moral guide rooted in social solidarity. Gender relations in the Hatuhaha community are complementary and reflect the functional equality characteristic of the indigenous communities of Maluku

Persistent barriers to accessibility remain, including limited physical facilities at polling stations, inadequate preparedness of election officials, substandard assistive tools such as poorly legible Braille templates, and insufficient access to information across diverse disability categories. The research aims to describe and analyze the actual conditions of accessibility and patterns of political participation among persons with disabilities during the 2024 Makassar local elections. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including voters with disabilities, election organizers (KPU, Bawaslu), and representatives of disability organizations. Findings reveal a gap between normative instructions issued by election authorities and practices in the field. Although voter turnout among persons with disabilities increased by 77% compared to 2020, physical accessibility—such as the availability of ramps—remains uneven, and Braille templates are often difficult to read independently. In terms of participation, a layered pattern emerges: the majority engage at the basic level (voting), while a smaller group actively participates in policy forums such as Musrenbang. Their motivations vary, ranging from autonomous awareness to test inclusivity, to mobilization driven by material proximity or community solidarity. The study concludes that strengthening inclusion requires strategic measures, including specialized training for election officials, standardized disability-friendly facilities across all polling stations, and systematic evaluation of assistive tools. These steps are crucial to ensuring that the political rights of persons with disabilities are substantively fulfilled, thereby enriching the quality of local democracy

French Sustainable Fashion Diplomacy: Soft Power Strategies in Public Diplomacy
type: item
description: This article examines how France utilizes sustainable fashion as a soft power-oriented public diplomacy strategy. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, the research draws on secondary data from policy documents, industry reports, global perception indicators, academic literature, and international media coverage. The study argues that France’s sustainable fashion diplomacy should not be understood as direct evidence of increased French influence, but rather as a qualified soft power resource through which France connects cultural prestige, regulatory credibility, and environmental responsibility. Through the Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy Law, The Fashion Pact, and anti-fast fashion measures, France transforms fashion governance into an internationally visible ecological narrative circulated through media, fashion institutions, transnational networks, and non-state actors. However, this strategy remains vulnerable to credibility challenges, particularly greenwashing and the possible perception of eco-protectionism. The article contributes to International Relations scholarship by showing how a traditional cultural industry can be repositioned as a site where culture, sustainability, public diplomacy, national reputation, and soft power intersect.

Analisis Framing Konflik Gaza di Era Informational Society (Studi Komparatif: Kompas.Com dan The Guardian)
type: item
description: This study examines the framing differences in reporting the Gaza conflict by Kompas.com and The Guardian from the perspective of the informational society. The research aims to analyze how both media outlets construct the reality of the Gaza conflict and to understand the influence of their positions within the global information network on meaning-making processes. A qualitative approach with content analysis was employed to examine two news articles published on June 3, 2025, concerning the shooting of Gaza civilians during food aid distribution. The analysis was conducted using Robert Entman’s framing model, which consists of four elements: define problems, diagnose causes, make moral judgments, and treatment recommendations. The findings reveal that Kompas.com frames the Gaza conflict primarily as a humanitarian tragedy by emphasizing civilian suffering, identifying Israeli military actions as the main cause, and highlighting the need for humanitarian protection and assistance. In contrast, The Guardian frames the incident as part of broader structural issues involving aid distribution systems, blockade policies, and wider geopolitical dynamics. These differences demonstrate that media function not only as channels of information but also as producers of meaning shaped by audience characteristics, socio-political contexts, and their positions within global communication networks.

Implementasi Prinsip Good Environmental Governance (GEG) dalam Pembangunan Permukiman: Studi Kasus Kelurahan Mugirejo Kota Samarinda
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Environmental Governance (GEG) in settlement development in Mugirejo Village, Samarinda City, and its implications for flood vulnerability. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation in Mugirejo Village, Samarinda City. Research informants consisted of officials and staff from the Housing and Settlement Agency, the Environmental Agency, the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Samarinda City, and Mugirejo Village officials involved in settlement and environmental development management. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions by referring to the seven GEG principles as an analytical framework. Data validity was tested using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of GEG in settlement development in Mugirejo Village has not been optimal and is still dominated by an administrative-procedural approach. Weak law enforcement, limited public participation, and institutional fragmentation are the main factors that hinder the effectiveness of environmental governance. These conditions have increased flood vulnerability due to land conversion and uncontrolled settlement expansion. This study recommends strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing more inclusive public participation, and consistently enforcing environmental regulations to support sustainable and flood-resilient settlement development.

Collaborative Governance and Smart Public Services for Sustainable Development in West Papua Province
type: item
description: The establishment of Southwest Papua Province under Law No. 29 of 2022 has created significant challenges for sustainable development, including limited institutional capacity, unequal public service accessibility, and inadequate digital infrastructure. Although collaborative governance and smart public services have received increasing scholarly attention, their integrated role in supporting sustainable development in newly autonomous regions remains underexplored. This study examines the influence of collaborative governance and smart public services on sustainable development outcomes in Southwest Papua. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 412 respondents and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The quantitative findings were subsequently validated and enriched through semi-structured interviews with 22 key stakeholders. The results indicate that collaborative governance has a significant positive effect on both smart public services and sustainable development outcomes. Smart public services further enhance sustainable development by improving service accessibility, efficiency, and transparency. Qualitative findings emphasize stakeholder participation, inter-organizational coordination, Indigenous community engagement, and digital innovation as critical drivers of governance effectiveness, while limited digital infrastructure and uneven internet access remain major constraints.

Integrasi Program Bantuan Sosial dalam Sistem Perlindungan Sosial Daerah: Studi Pada Pemerintah Kota Depok
type: item
description: This study is motivated by the implementation of social assistance programs in Depok City, This study is motivated by the fragmented implementation of social assistance programs in Depok City, where various local government agencies operate with different databases, mechanisms, and target beneficiaries. This condition risks causing benefit overlaps, inaccurate targeting, and poor coordination in poverty alleviation efforts. To address this, the Depok City Government developed the Kartu Depok Sejahtera (KDS) Program as an instrument for integrating local social assistance programs. This study aims to analyze the integration process of social assistance programs in Depok City using Heffron's (1989) public organizational characteristics framework, encompassing personal aspects, internal organizational structure and processes, and organizational transactions with the environment. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation study. The findings reveal that integration was built through regulatory strengthening, application of poverty parameters, data verification and validation, cross-agency coordination, and the development of KDS as a gateway to various local social protection programs. The study concludes that the integration of social assistance in Depok City represents a governance transformation from a fragmented system toward a more coordinated one through capacity building of actors, data and program integration, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The sustainability of this integration is influenced by local government commitment, human resource capacity, and adaptability to changes in national policy.

Peran Strategis Chief Business Officer dalam Pengambilan Keputusan dan Dampaknya Terhadap Efektivitas Bisnis PT Tourezia Cakra Inspira
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the Chief Business Officer (CBO) in decision-making and its impact on operational effectiveness at PT Tourezia Cakra Inspira. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation with informants directly involved in the company's work processes. The results indicate that the CBO plays a very dominant role not only at the strategic level but also in daily technical and operational decisions. This situation creates a high degree of decision centralization, which creates bottlenecks in the workflow, slows the approval process, reduces the speed of execution, and reduces the latitude for line managers to make independent decisions. On the other hand, while this centralization helps maintain control and decision accuracy, it is not balanced with the operational demands of service companies that require rapid and flexible responses. This study concludes that a company's operational effectiveness will be more optimal if there is a more structured system of delegation of authority, a clearer division of roles, and strengthened capacity of middle management so that work processes can run more efficiently without compromising the company's strategic direction.

Pengaruh Visual Branding dan Engagement Instagram Terhadap Minat Mahasiswa Menggunakan Jasa Fotografi Wisuda di Kota Makassar
type: item
description: This study examines the application of visual branding and Instagram engagement by graduation photography service providers and their possible association with students’ interest in using these services. The rise of social media, particularly Instagram, has made visual elements and digital interaction important in shaping consumer perceptions, including those of students. This research adopts an exploratory quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) on data from 100 student respondents who are active Instagram users in Makassar. The evaluation of the measurement model shows that the adapted instrument did not meet the required reliability and convergent validity thresholds: Cronbach’s Alpha, Composite Reliability, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) fell below the recommended cut-offs, with some negative values. Consequently, the resulting structural path coefficients are preliminary (exploratory) and cannot be interpreted as significant effects. The main contribution of this study is methodological: the instruments measuring visual branding and engagement in the context of Makassar students require refinement, partly due to limited response variation (ceiling effect) and sample size. This study provides a basis for refining the instrument and collecting further data before conclusive causal testing can be conducted.

Dinamika Politik Lokal Penggantian Calon Wakil Bupati Maros Pada Pilkada Kabupaten Maros Tahun 2024
type: item
description: The replacement of a deputy regent candidate in local political contests is not merely related to administrative procedures but also reflects the dynamics of power, legitimacy, and the political identity of an actor. This study aims to analyze local political dynamic in the replacement of the Maros Deputy Regent candidate during the 2024 Regional Head Election through the perspective of political identity and recognition. This article employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques based on media documentation and secondary data sources. The findings indicate that candidate replacement affects the political position, social legitimacy, and recognition experience of an actor who previously held the status of an incumbent deputy regent. The phenomenon also highlights the role of political elites and parties in determining access to political power. This study concludes that local political conflict occurs through processes of changing recognition, power distribution, and the negotiation of political identity.

Analisis Faktor Pendorong Urbanisas Menggunakan Sem-PLS di Kabupaten Purwakarta
type: item
description: Urbanization is a demographic phenomenon influenced by various factors and has significant impacts on the social, economic, and environmental conditions of a region. Purwakarta Regency has experienced dynamic urbanization alongside industrial development and improved regional connectivity. This study aims to analyze the effects of economic, socio-demographic, and infrastructure factors on the rate of urbanization and the impacts of urbanization in Purwakarta Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach using multivariate analysis through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 81 respondents using a questionnaire consisting of 50 items. The results indicate that economic factors have a significant positive effect on the urbanization rate (β = 0.609; p < 0.001) and the impacts of urbanization (β = 0.465; p < 0.001), whereas socio-demographic factors significantly affect only the urbanization rate (β = 0.203; p = 0.020) and have no significant direct effect on the impacts of urbanization (β = 0.197; p = 0.143). Infrastructure serves as a supporting factor that strengthens the urbanization process by improving regional accessibility. The study concludes that urbanization in Purwakarta Regency is a multifactorial phenomenon, with economic factors serving as the primary determinant.
