The Moderating Role of Digital Supply Chain and Biodiesel Policy on Fuel Supply Chain Performance in the N-PSO Sector

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The implementation of Indonesia’s mandatory biodiesel policy has increased the complexity of fuel supply chain management, particularly in the Non-Public Service Obligation (N-PSO) sector, which operates without price subsidy support. This condition requires strong process integration and operational capability to maintain supply chain performance amid policy dynamics and supply risks. This reserach aims to analyze the effect of supply chain integration on fuel supply chain performance in the N-PSO sector, with supply chain capability as a mediating variable and digital supply chain and biodiesel policy as moderating variables. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through a questionnaire survey of several fuel trading companies and their contractors who are acting under the national biodiesel blending mandate in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM modeling. The results indicate that supply chain integration has a positive and significant effect on supply chain capability and supply chain performance, and supply chain capability mediates this relationship. Digital supply chain is not proven to moderate the effect of supply chain integration on supply chain capability. In addition, biodiesel policy does not moderate the effect of supply chain capability on supply chain performance. These findings indicate that improvements in supply chain performance in the N-PSO sector are mainly driven by internal integration and operational capability rather than by the moderating role of digitalization and policy intervention.

Policy Implementation of PSU Handover in Griya Srimahi Indah Housing

Lia Fanny, Yulianto — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the implementation of the policy for handing over infrastructure, facilities, and utilities in supporting settlement suitability in Griya Srimahi Indah Housing, Bekasi Regency. The policy is intended to ensure that basic settlement facilities are managed by the local government after being handed over by private developers. The study addresses three main questions: how the handover policy is implemented, what major challenges arise in the process, and what roles are played by key stakeholders. A qualitative case study approach is employed, using in‑depth interviews, non‑participant observation, and document analysis. The findings show that implementation is partial and has not fully achieved the intended objectives. In terms of communication, coordination between government agencies remains inconsistent. Regarding resources, there are limitations in technical human resources within the local government and limited budget support. In terms of disposition, implementers show uneven commitment in completing administrative procedures. From the bureaucratic structure perspective, handover procedures are fragmented across several work units. Stakeholders such as the local government, the developer, and residents have differing interests, while coordination mechanisms have not been optimally developed. The study concludes that policy implementation proceeds at an inconsistent pace, constrained by a structural context that does not sufficiently support consistent implementation and by stakeholder roles that are not yet facilitated through structured policy communication and participation.

Good Corporate Governance Practices in the Management of Regional Public Companies Wai Tipalayo Polewali Mandar Regency

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles in the management of the Regional Public Company Wai Tipalayo, located in Polewali Mandar Regency. As a public water utility, this regional public plays a vital role in fulfilling basic community needs while contributing to regional original income. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, this research explores how the five core principles of GCG transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness are applied in organizational governance. Data collection was conducted through direct observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (including directors, managers, and customers), and document analysis. The findings reveal that transparency is implemented primarily through digital platforms such as social media and the company's official website, although financial transparency remains limited to internal stakeholders and regional authorities. Accountability is evidenced by clearly defined job descriptions and routine performance evaluations. The principle of responsibility is reflected in the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and social service to the community. Independence is demonstrated by the company's ability to self-finance operational costs without external political interference. Moreover, fairness is upheld through equitable recruitment practices and equal treatment of employees regardless of their employment status. Overall, the study concludes that consistent application of GCG principles enhances organizational performance and public trust in Wai Tipalayo’s Regional Public Company. However, greater efforts are still required to expand financial transparency and strengthen external collaboration to support sustainable corporate governance.

Rizky Ajeng Andriani, Gabrielle Meiscova Johvans M, Rizko Ilham Maulana — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to examine the influence of social media influencer source credibility and homophily-based user-generated content on Umrah pilgrims’ purchase decisions in the digital environment. The research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected from 316 respondents across Indonesia who have experience or interest in Umrah travel. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling to evaluate both the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that influencer expertise has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, while trustworthiness and attractiveness do not show a significant direct influence. In addition, homophily-based user-generated content demonstrates a strong and significant effect, highlighting the importance of perceived similarity in shaping consumer confidence and reducing perceived risk. These findings suggest that Umrah pilgrims prioritize informational value, experiential relevance, and perceived similarity over visual appeal or assumed trust when making high-risk religious travel decisions. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the strategic role of expert-driven influencer credibility and authentic, homophilic user-generated content in digital marketing communication for Umrah travel services, contributing to the understanding of digital consumer behavior in high-risk and religious service contexts.

Interpersonal Communication and Household Resilience: The Dynamics of Husband-Wife Interaction in the Digital Era

Mirwan, Apriani, Fahmi Hasbi, Abd Rahman, Murdifin — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the role of interpersonal communication in building marital resilience in married couples within the context of socio-cultural change in the digital era. This study employed a qualitative approach through a literature review, reviewing articles from reputable national and international journals published between 2023 and 2025. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns in the concepts of communication, conflict, and marital resilience. The results indicate that openness, empathy, dialogic communication, and emotional regulation are key elements in maintaining harmonious marital relationships. This study also indicates that work pressure and digital distractions contribute to a decrease in the intensity of face-to-face communication and a decrease in the quality of emotional closeness between partners. Conceptually, this study confirms that interpersonal communication in the household is a dynamic, reflective, and contextual social process. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of interpersonal communication for husbands and wives as a social process that shapes household resilience in the face of the dynamics of contemporary social change.

Governance and Policy Analysis of Indonesia’s Prospective BRICS Membership for Expanding Global Market Access

Riady Ibnu Khaldun, Rezky Ramadhan Antuli, Asma Amin — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study is based on the changing global economic landscape, which is increasingly moving toward the dominance of developing countries, as well as the need for Indonesia to diversify its trade and investment partners amid global economic uncertainty. The research aims to analyze Indonesia’s potential membership in the BRICS group of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) as a strategy to expand access to global markets. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature analysis, this study evaluates various factors that support Indonesia’s eligibility to join BRICS, including macroeconomic aspects, geostrategic position, and commitment to South-South cooperation. The findings show that Indonesia has considerable potential to join BRICS in terms of economic capacity, regional influence, and available resources. Membership in BRICS is considered to offer strategic benefits in the form of access to new global markets as well as potential investment development from member countries.

Collaborative Governance in Addressing Stunting in Tidore Kepulauan City

Saiful Salim, Umanto — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Stunting is not only a health issue, but is also closely related to economic, educational, political, and cultural aspects, thus requiring a specific and sensitive cross-sectoral intervention approach. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), Indonesia is one of 17 countries with a double burden of malnutrition and ranks third with the highest prevalence in Southeast Asia, at 36.4%, after Timor Leste (50.5%) and India (38.4%). The distribution of stunting cases tends to be high in areas with high poverty rates and limited access, such as Tidore Kepulauan City, which has been designated as a priority for stunting prevention for the 2018–2022 period. However, through collaborative efforts, the Tidore Kepulauan City Government has succeeded in reducing the stunting rate from 21.3% (2023) to 16.6% in 2024. This study uses a post-positivist approach with qualitative methods to analyze collaborative governance that can reduce stunting amid geographical and economic challenges. The results of this study show: 1) The initial conditions were influenced by human resource inequality, limited access, and sectoral egoism that hampered handling. This evaluation encourages collective action through face-to-face dialogue, data sharing, participatory planning, and joint decision-making; 2) Factors supporting the collaboration process lie in the establishment of clear regulations and information transparency mechanisms, while facilitative leadership plays a role in driving participation, maintaining group dynamics, expanding networks, and empowering communities. Efforts such as the Stunting Forum, family assistance, and Foster Family socialization are key components. These results prove that structured, collaboration-based cross-sector cooperation can be an effective way to overcome stunting in remote and island areas

Analysis of the Implementation of Village SDGs Policies in Accelerating Village Development: A Case Study of Rambipuji Village

Suwarno, Bambang Giyanto, Mala Sondang Silitonga — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Implementation of Village SDGs in Indonesia faces structural challenges such as limited village human resource capacity, poor data synchronization, and suboptimal inter-stakeholder coordination, as reflected in social facts showing many villages struggle to achieve clean energy targets (SDG 7) and climate resilience (SDG 13) due to high GHG emissions from deforestation and fossil fuels. Amid these issues, Rambipuji Village in Rambipuji Subdistrict, Jember Regency, successfully achieved high IDM scores and became a pilot village, particularly in SDG 7 and 13, positioning it as a role model for sustainable development. This qualitative descriptive study analyzes the process using George C. Edwards III's framework. Key findings indicate that implementation proceeds in a structural-participative manner through synergy among village officials, communities, and institutions, supported by clear bureaucratic structures, effective communication, and directed resource management; however, only 7 of 18 priority targets were realized, such as climate-responsive villages and clean energy initiatives. Supporting factors include commitment from officials and village funds, while barriers include limited human resources and suboptimal communication. Strengthening Edwards III's dimensions is recommended for optimizing national Village SDGs.

Zhoffi Mahari P Siagian, Citra, Wenggede Frensh — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to analyze the mitigation of motor vehicle theft crimes (curanmor) within the jurisdiction of the Bengkulu Regional Police (Polda Bengkulu), focusing on the role of the police, the challenges faced, and the solutions implemented. This study employs a field research method with a descriptive case study approach, involving data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The research was conducted at Polda Bengkulu, specifically at the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum), from March to July 2024. The informants consisted of 4 Ditreskrimum investigators, 1 member of Polda Bengkulu, and 2 members of the community. The results indicate that motor vehicle theft, particularly motorcycles, is a prevalent crime in Bengkulu, with increasingly organized modus operandi and extensive networks. The main factors driving the high rate of motorcycle theft include weak vehicle security systems, economic factors, and high market demand for used motorcycle parts. The Bengkulu Regional Police have undertaken various preventive measures, such as increasing routine patrols, night raids, joint operations, and the use of technology like CCTV. Additionally, public education on the importance of using additional security devices and parking in safe locations is also part of the prevention strategy. The conclusion of this research is that addressing vehicle theft requires a comprehensive approach involving primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention can be achieved through improved access to education and employment opportunities, while secondary prevention involves routine patrols and the use of technology. Tertiary prevention focuses on the rehabilitation and reintegration of former offenders into society. Synergy between the police, government, and the community is key to reducing vehicle theft crime rates and creating a safer environment.
