Implementasi Sistem Pengelolaan Sampah di Tempat Pembuangan Sampah (TPS) Kepanjen Kabupaten Jombang
The waste management issue in Jombang Regency, particularly at the Kepanjen Disposal Site, remains unresolved. This study aims to analyze the implementation of waste management policies at the site using a descriptive qualitative approach through field observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal four key aspects: (1) communication plays a crucial role but lacks coherence between planning and execution; (2) resource limitations, including budget, workforce, and infrastructure, serve as major obstacles despite long-term planning efforts; (3) field workers’ dedication deserves recognition, yet greater community participation is essential; and (4) the organizational structure, although legally established, has not been fully effective in practice. The study concludes that waste management at the Kepanjen Disposal Site requires an inclusive and collaborative approach emphasizing improved communication, resource allocation, human resource capacity, and multi-stakeholder cooperation to achieve sustainable waste management outcomes.

Kontribusi Riil Pembangunan Infrastruktur Terhadap Peningkatan Ekonomi di Pedesaan
This study aims to analyze the contribution of Rural bridge construction to the economic development of the community, specifically focusing on Dusun Cemara, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. This research uses a qualitative approach; data sources are obtained from primary data through interviews with village officials and local communities. Secondary data is also used to support the research, data sourced from government documents, and relevant literature. Dusun Cemara with great potential in the fisheries sector and marine tourism, is still constrained by the lack of adequate road and bridge infrastructure, so the government built a suspension bridge with the aim of improving accessibility and community mobility. The results showed that post-bridge construction, there was an increase in accessibility which ultimately affected the economy in several vital local sectors. This finding is in line with economic development theory that sees infrastructure as a pillar of development. This research identifies various challenges related to infrastructure sustainability. Thus, policy recommendations emphasize increased community participation, budget allocation for ongoing maintenance to maximize the long-term positive impact of infrastructure development.

Makna Komunikasi Antarbudaya dalam Tradisi Antar Mahar (Ampa CO’I) Pernikahan Masyarakat Donggo dan Soromandi
This study examines the meaning of intercultural communication in the dowry tradition among the people of Donggo and Soromandi Districts, Bima Regency. This tradition includes a series of processions such as Wi'i Nggahi, Wa'a Mama, and Ampa Co'i, which are rich in cultural symbolism and social values. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with communication ethnography methods through observation and in-depth interviews with community leaders. The results show that communication between families at each stage of the tradition is key to creating understanding and strengthening relationships between two families from different cultural backgrounds. However, modernization has caused a shift in values ​​in the implementation of this tradition, such as reducing face-to-face interaction and flexibility in determining post-wedding residence. Despite these changes, this tradition still holds important value as a local cultural identity and heritage. Thus, preserving the symbolic values ​​and communication in this wedding tradition is essential to maintaining social harmony and enriching the cultural heritage of the Bima people amidst the changing times.

Pengaruh Kepemimpinan, Kompetensi, dan Disiplin Terhadap Kinerja dengan Motivasi Sebagai Variabel Mediasi Pada Guru SMP Kabupaten Tambrauw
This study aims to analyze the influence of principal leadership, teacher competence, and work discipline on teacher performance with work motivation as a mediating variable. The method used is quantitative with SEM-PLS analysis techniques. The population consists of 136 teachers, with a sample of 85 teachers. The results of the study indicate that teacher competence has a significant effect on teacher performance, while principal leadership, work discipline, and work motivation are not significant. Work motivation is also not proven to be a mediator. The implication is that it is recommended to focus on improving teacher competence.

Dinamika Politik Islam dalam Sistem Demokrasi Indonesia
This study examines the dynamics of Islamic politics within Indonesia’s democratic system, a country with a Muslim-majority population that consistently upholds democratic principles. The research aims to understand the direction of Islamic political transformation amid the challenges of modernity, pluralism, and contemporary political rationality. Grounded in Oliver Roy’s theory of Islamic political pragmatism, this study assumes that the failure of political Islam to confront modern realities does not signify the collapse of its ideology, but rather reflects a process of adaptation toward a more pragmatic and contextual form. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, analyzing academic literature such as journal articles relevant to the topic. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Islamic politics in Indonesia has undergone a pragmatization process, characterized by inclusive, adaptive, and issue-based strategic orientations focusing on universal values such as social justice, democracy, and welfare. This approach sustains the relevance of Islamic politics in a multicultural society. Consequently, understanding the transformation of Islamic politics is crucial for formulating inclusive and democratic public policies that can accommodate religious aspirations without provoking identity polarization, thereby strengthening substantive democracy in Indonesia.

Transformasi Literasi Digital di Papua Barat Daya: Tantangan dan Strategi Pasca Pembentukan Daerah Otonomi Baru
The establishment of Southwest Papua Province through Law No. 29 of 2022 has created opportunities for digital literacy transformation, yet it continues to face complex structural, social, cultural, and geographical challenges. Disparities in internet access, limited digital devices, high data costs, low digital skills, and differing perceptions of technological benefits are primary obstacles to equitable digital literacy. This study aims to identify these barriers and formulate effective digital literacy strategies grounded in local wisdom. The research employs a mixed-methods approach with a Convergent Parallel design, combining a quantitative survey of 270 respondents and qualitative literature analysis to achieve a comprehensive understanding. Findings indicate that digital literacy among the population of Southwest Papua is hindered by economic factors, infrastructure limitations, technical capacity gaps, and cultural sensitivities. Effective strategies for enhancing digital literacy emphasize community participation, adaptation to local cultural values, gender inclusivity, youth empowerment, and the strengthening of technical, ethical, and digital cultural competencies. In conclusion, digital literacy transformation in Southwest Papua must adopt a holistic, contextual, and sustainable approach to empower communities, reinforce social cohesion, and support economic development and digital governance in the post-establishment era of the new autonomous region.

First, the Bakar Babi (Pig Burning) Ritual in the Moskona Tribe Culture. Second, the bakar babi as a Political Symbol in Moskona Tribe Solidarity in the Political Realm, and Third, Social Capitalization in the Tribal Chief's Victory in the 2019 Legislative Election in Teluk Bintuni.

While the qualitative research approach with descriptive research type, and data collection were carried out through interviews, observations and in-depth and relevant literature studies. From the three research objectives, it was found that the Bakar babi ritual is part of the culture and mechanism of life in the social life of the Moskona tribe, and until now it continues to be preserved. More profoundly, the Bakar Babi ritual has become a political symbol constructed as a cultural ritual of victory and maintaining social solidarity, which is nothing more than a node of political power for the victorious elite in political contests. The Moskona people believe that the tribe is the source of truth and goodness, therefore, the process of capitalizing on social capital is very effective in winning in the political arena.

Digitalisasi Pengelolaan Dana Desa di Desa Bina Baru Kabupaten Sidenreng Rappang
This study analyzes the digitization of village fund management in Bina Baru Village, focusing on implementation conditions, stakeholder roles, and strategies for improving effectiveness. Using a qualitative approach with NVivo 12 Plus data analysis through in-depth interviews with Village Head, Finance Head, Village Operator, Village Secretary, and Community Leaders. The research results show that digitization of village fund management experiences paradoxical conditions with partial achievements in various aspects. Digital systems have been successfully implemented operationally internally and provide convenience for village officials in administrative and managerial functions. However, digitization faces significant challenges in public accessibility aspects where the community cannot access digital systems, so the principles of transparency and public accountability have not been optimally achieved. Digital transformation involves collaborative roles from various stakeholders with clear differentiation. Strategies to improve digitization effectiveness require a comprehensive approach including increasing accessibility through public digital portals, stabilizing technical infrastructure, developing human resource capacity, increasing community participation with digital consultation mechanisms, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Peran Gerakan Women Wage Peace dalam Upaya Perdamaian Israel-Palestina: Studi Tentang Diplomasi Akar Rumput oleh Perempuan
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing for decades with complex, multidimensional impacts. However, traditional diplomatic approaches dominated by state and military actors often reach a dead end. In this context, the Women Wage Peace (WWP) movement, born after the 2014 Gaza War, emerged as a grassroots diplomatic force driven by women across ethnicities, religions, and political orientations in Israel. This study aims to analyze WWP's role and contribution in promoting peace through a gender-based and participatory approach. Using qualitative methods with a descriptive approach, this study explores WWP's activities and strategies based on organizational documentation, publications, and theoretical studies on grassroots diplomacy and UNSC Resolution 1325. The study results show that WWP has not only succeeded in building public awareness and political pressure through symbolic actions such as the Peace Train and March of Hope, but also established a cross-community network with Palestinian women through organized collaboration, regular dialogue, and joint actions such as the WWP – Women of the Sun declaration. This network enables the creation of relationships of trust and direct cooperation between citizens, which then become a driving force for social transformation. WWP emphasizes that women are not only victims of conflict but also key agents in creating sustainable peace. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating women-based grassroots diplomacy into peace policies in conflict zones.

Perceptions of Stunting: Negotiating Local and Medical Knowledge in Jeneponto, South Sulawesi
The problem of stunting is still a complex social and health issue in Indonesia, including in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi, which has the highest prevalence of stunting in the province. People in this region have a different understanding of the concept of stunting compared to the medical definition used by the government. This research aims to analyze how the people of Jeneponto build an understanding of stunting through negotiations between local knowledge and medical knowledge. The research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological design. A total of 15 informants were selected purposively, consisting of parents of children under five, health workers, posyandu cadres, community leaders, and local government officials. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed inductively using manual coding techniques. The results of the study show that people do not view stunting as a health problem, but as a social opportunity to obtain nutritional assistance and economic support. The label "stunting" is interpreted as a survival strategy in a formal policy structure that provides access to resources. The conclusion of the study emphasizes that the stunting phenomenon in Jeneponto is the result of a social construction that reflects the adaptation of the community to state policies, so that efforts to handle it need to pay attention to the social context and local rationality of the community.

Digitalisasi Kebijakan Kepemimpinan Hijau dalam Pengelolaan Sampah: Strategi Pemerintah Daerah dalam Menerapkan Smart Waste Management di Kabupaten Enrekang
This study aims to examine the implementation of green leadership policies to support the digitalization of waste management through the Smart Waste Management (SWM) system in Enrekang Regency. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, encompassing needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The main innovation of this study was the development of a web-based application for real-time waste reporting and monitoring.

Pemekaran Kecamatan Sebagai Jalan Pengakuan Masyarakat Adat di Kabupaten Tana Toraja
This study examines the dynamics of transformation within the Gandangbatu Sillanan community in Tana Toraja Regency, tracing their shift from an administrative entity toward recognition as an indigenous territory. The main issue focuses on how colonial structures of power that placed Gandangbatu Sillanan under the Mengkendek District shaped the state’s way of seeing and governing indigenous domains, as well as how local communities responded through strategies of resistance and negotiation. This research employs a qualitative method, using data collection techniques through interviews and document studies, analyzed within the theoretical framework of political anthropology as proposed by James C. Scott. The findings reveal that the establishment of the Gandangbatu Sillanan District in 2007 represents a form of resistance successfully institutionalized through the bureaucratic channels of the state. This action reflects the indigenous community’s effort to rearticulate local identity and sovereignty within the framework of modern state law. In conclusion, the struggle of the Gandangbatu Sillanan community exemplifies the practice of everyday resistance within the context of Seeing Like a State, where local actors employ state instruments to reaffirm their existence and indigenous autonomy.

Freelance Platform Sebagai Pengelolah Tuan Tanah: Struktur Tekno-Feodalisme dalam Ekonomi Platform Ilustrator
On platforms such as Fiverr and Upwork, the relationship between workers, clients, and companies is organized into a new structure that resembles feudalism: the platform acts as a digital landlord extracting rent from every interaction, while the algorithm replaces the overseer in regulating the rhythm of production. Through a phenomenological ethnographic approach to illustrators in Indonesia, work experiences are recorded as a constant negotiation between freedom and control. Ratings, reviews, and response speed become indicators that determine visibility while simultaneously shaping the workers’ emotional consciousness. Anxiety, communication strategies, and self-management emerge as responses to the algorithmic power that continuously monitors them. The flexibility often promised by the platform transforms into a new disciplinary mechanism that subdues creativity under the logic of data. Within this digital space, immaterial labor intertwines with techno-feudal power, where creativity, emotion, and lived experience are ensnared within a rent structure no longer grounded in land, but in networks and algorithms.

Media Sosial dan Keterlibatan Politik Generasi Z pada Pilkada Kabupaten Enrekang Tahun 2024
Social media has become a primary space for Generation Z to express political views and engage in public participation, yet understanding of how this unfolds in the context of the 2024 Enrekang regional election remains limited. This study aims to describe the forms of digital political participation among Generation Z and the factors that shape their engagement. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review, this study analyzes scholarly works discussing digital political participation, youth behavior, and the use of social media within local political processes. The findings indicate that the digital activities of Generation Z are diverse, adaptable to both local and national issues, and influenced by social norms, technological competence, and access to digital media. Despite challenges such as limited digital understanding and the risk of inaccurate information, digital platforms remain a space actively used by young people to participate in local political dynamics. This study concludes that these patterns require further exploration through field research to better understand communication strategies that align with the characteristics of Generation Z.

Analisis Komparatif Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pengelolaan Sampah: Studi Kasus Kawasan Perkotaan Polewali dan Pesisir Binuang, Kabupaten Polewali Mandar
The differences in the characteristics of urban and coastal areas create unique waste management challenges, particularly related to suboptimal levels of community participation. This study comparatively examines the level of community participation in waste management between the Polewali Urban Area and the Binuang Coastal Area, Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi. Another objective is to identify barriers and community expectations in both locations. This study used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data through a survey of 806 respondents and qualitative data through in-depth interviews with stakeholders. The study results show significant differences in participation. The Polewali Urban Area has a relatively balanced level of participation between those who have and have not participated. In contrast, participation in the Binuang Coastal Area is still identified as very low. It was found that the barriers in Binuang are fundamental, such as a lack of facilities and low awareness, while in Polewali the barriers are more operational, namely limited time and uneven distribution of facilities. These findings emphasize the need for different policy interventions, tailored specifically to the social characteristics and infrastructure availability in each region, rather than a single strategy.

Penurunan Pendapatan Asli Daerah dari Pengujian Laik Jalan Kendaraan Bermotor: Tantangan Tata Kelola Desentralisasi
The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of motor vehicle inspection retribution (PKB) to regional revenue in Sidenreng Rappang Regency and to examine governance-related factors that contribute to the existing problems. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach using an interactive analysis model. The study was conducted at the Motor Vehicle Inspection Unit (UPT Pengujian Kendaraan Bermotor) during the period from November 2024 to January 2025. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis.The findings indicate that since 2019 there has been a significant decline in the realization of retribution revenue, with achievement reaching only 51.73% in 2023 substantially lower than the achievement rate of over 95% during the 2014–2018 period. The main factors contributing to this decline include low public compliance, weak enforcement of sanctions, poor service quality, limited infrastructure, and a low level of public trust in the managing institution. In addition, weaknesses were identified in the monitoring and evaluation system, as well as outdated operational procedures. This study recommends regulatory reform, digitalization of KIR testing and retribution payment processes, community-based public education campaigns, and the strengthening of ethical and accountable leadership to improve governance, enhance public services, and promote regional fiscal independence.

Politik Agraria dan Resistensi Lokal: Peran Kelompok Keagamaan dalam Penolakan Proyek Geothermal Padarincang
This article analyses the dynamics of agrarian politics in the conflict surrounding the development of a geothermal power plant in Padarincang, Serang Regency, Banten. Although the geothermal project is positioned as part of the national Energy Transition and Sustainable Development agenda, local communities reject its presence because they consider it a threat to water sources, ecosystems, and the social and spiritual order of the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The analysis was conducted using a critical agrarian political framework and an institutional-cultural approach. The results show that the resistance of the Padarincang community is not solely driven by economic or ecological interests, but also by moral and spiritual values. Two religious groups, namely Syarekat Perjuangan Rakyat Padarincang (SAPAR) and Gerakan Perempuan SAPAR (GRAPAS), acted as cultural political actors who articulated their rejection of the geothermal project through religious symbols, ecological ethics, and local wisdom. Religion serves as cultural and symbolic capital, strengthening social solidarity, building alternative public spaces, and providing moral legitimacy to resistance movements. This study emphasises that contemporary agrarian politics in Indonesia cannot be separated from the cultural and spiritual dimensions of local communities, and highlights the importance of a just and participatory approach to energy transition.

Implementasi Program Makan Bergizi Gratis Pada Pemerintahan Prabowo-Gibran: Solusi dan Tantangan
This research examines the implementation of the free nutritious meal program. The aim is to find out the content of this program and its implementation in the field. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained through various online media, ministry websites, and other documents. The results showed that the free nutritious meal program was implemented on January 6, 2025. This program aims to improve human resources, reduce stunting rates, and increase student learning motivation. The targets are students, toddlers, and pregnant women. The implementation of the free nutritious meal program faces challenges in communication, resources, executor disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The government has conducted extensive socialization with various media platforms and in person, but remote areas still experience problems accessing digital information. In terms of resources, the large budget allocation has not been fully matched by infrastructure readiness, causing constraints in distribution. The disposition of implementers also plays an important role, with support from lower-level implementers. However, cases of rejection in some areas show the need for increased readiness in the field
