Understanding Gender Inequality in Indonesia: an AI Approach to Evaluating Socio-Economic Factors for Sustainable Development
Gender inequality in Indonesia remains a significant challenge, especially in achieving gender parity across various development indicators. This study evaluates the impact of different socioeconomic and demographic variables on the Gender Inequality Index (GII) across all regencies and cities in Indonesia in 2023, focusing on aligning with the fifth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Gender Equality. The variables considered include Women's Income Contribution, Women in Professional Occupations, Women's Human Development Index, Women's Life Expectancy, Women's Labor Force Participation Rate, Women's Expected Years of Schooling, and Adjusted Per Capita Expenditure for Women. Three machine learning models, Support Vector Regression (SVR), AdaBoost Regressor, and Random Forest Regressor are applied to determine the relationship between these factors and the GII. Random Forest Regressor demonstrated the best performance with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.0109. The feature importance analysis reveals that the Women's Human Development Index has the highest impact at 43.92%, followed by Women's Life Expectancy at 23.25%, and Adjusted Per Capita Expenditure for Women at 10.27%. These findings highlight the pivotal role of human development and economic factors in shaping gender inequality in Indonesia, providing valuable insights for formulating targeted policies aimed at reducing gender disparities and promoting equitable development across the country.
Analysis on the Diffusion Mechanism of Electrification of the Transjakarta Bus Policy in Jakarta
This research aims to analyze the roles of international actors, state actors, and non-state/private actors in the diffusion of electric bus policies within the context of public-private collaboration. The selected case is the electrification of the Transjakarta Bus units. The urgent need to address climate change is driving the transition towards environmentally friendly transportation systems, particularly in urban centers like Jakarta. One significant source of air pollution stems from vehicles that rely on fossil fuels. To tackle this challenge, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has mandated Transjakarta, the city's bus rapid transit system, to lead the shift towards battery-powered electric vehicles as part of its public transportation fleet, in accordance with Governor's Decree Number 1053 of 2022. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, supported by interviews and literature review, the study applies the framework of international diffusion mechanisms to understand how these actors contribute to the electrification of Transjakarta. The findings suggest that international, national, and private actors play different roles in promoting and facilitating the policy diffusion process of electrification policy, each contributing through a combination of expertise, funding, and technological innovation. This collaboration is seen as essential for achieving sustainable development goals in Jakarta's public transportation sector.
Social Resilience From a Sociological Perspective : Concept and Its Application To Cardamom Farming Commmunity
In recent years, resilience has received great attention from various parties. This concept, which was initially better known in the field of ecology, then also developed in the social field, so that the term social resilience was known. This study aims to analyze the concept of social resilience from a sociological perspective related to the cardamom farming community in Sambirata Village, Cilongok District, Banyumas Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative. This research on cardamom resilience is based on three main aspects, namely the capacity to overcome disturbances (coping capacity) , the capacity to adapt, and the capacity to change or transform. The results of the study show that the resilience of farmer groups can be seen from the emergence of new jobs after the Covid-19 pandemic, the increasing number of farmer group members from 30 to 250 members in the last 5 years, production that was initially traditional to modern with the entry of CSR stimulus and government and private institutions, increasing productivity, cardamom prices that are increasing day by day, the market has started to develop outside the city. The MOU has also been carried out to overcome the shortage of land owned by farmers and villages so that the sustainability of economic development through cardamom cultivation remains stable and tends to increase. Derivatives of cardamom fruit production also have economic value, which means that almost all elements of the cardamom plant can be utilized. One of them is cardamom residue which can be processed into essential oils and spice drinks. The results of the study above illustrate that 3 points of the 17 provisions in the SDGs for the sustainability of forest communities are poverty alleviation, health management (medicines), and preserving Flora (plants) with local wisdom.

The Role of Identity Politics in Millennial Voting Behaviour: Intersectionality and the 2024 Election
This paper explores the significant role of identity politics in shaping the voting behaviour of millennials in the context of the 2024 election, with a particular focus on intersectionality. Identity politics, which involves the political interests and perspectives of various social groups, has gained prominence in recent years, influencing electoral outcomes in various countries, including Indonesia. This research is crucial as it delves into how millennials, a demographic that has increasingly engaged with social issues, utilise their identities—such as race, gender, and sexual orientation—to inform their political choices. The methodology employed includes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and electoral studies with qualitative insights from interviews and case studies. Preliminary findings indicate that millennials are more likely to support candidates who resonate with their identity-related concerns, resulting in a marked shift in traditional voting patterns. The conclusions drawn from this research highlight the necessity for political parties to understand and engage with the complexities of identity politics to effectively mobilise millennial voters in the upcoming election. This understanding can significantly impact electoral strategies and policy formulation, ultimately shaping the political landscape in Indonesia as well as globally.

The Potential of MSMEs in Achieving the SDGs Towards Megatrend 2045
MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) play a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, particularly in supporting economic growth at both the local and national levels. Indonesia is a country where MSMEs have experienced significant changes, and it is projected that in the next twenty years, major transformations will occur. This is evident from the estimate that by 2045, the global middle-income class will increase by 4.9 billion. This paper aims to analyze, and provide an evaluation of the economic potential of MSMEs that contribute to economic development on both a local and national scale. Additionally, these MSMEs support the achievement of the SDGs by helping to reduce poverty, create sustainable economic development, and improve the welfare of local communities. This study applies a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, and the data is analyzed using SWOT analysis techniques. Data were collected from various sources, including journals, books, papers, and other supporting data accessed through online platforms. The research results show that first, MSMEs support the local economy, create jobs, and help reduce poverty. Second, gender equality which is strengthened through education and training, supporting women's empowerment and SDGs 2045. This is expected to improve the quality of human resources to become more self-reliant. Lastly, collaboration between the government and the private sector strengthens the position of MSMEs in both national and international markets. Overall, these MSMEs have great potential with competitive and sustainable qualities, and they contribute to the achievement of SDGs and the Megatrend 2045.

Strategy for Enhancing Indonesia's Cybersecurity Policy
The development of information technology has changed the world landscape with the existence of an area called cyberspace. The rapid development of cyberspace, which is integrated with aspects of human life and has far-reaching effects on the links of life, has made cyber security one of the most important issues in the world. The number of cybercrime cases that occur requires the acceleration of cybersecurity reform in Indonesia. This study aims to outline the challenges and problems of cybersecurity in Indonesia and provide several alternative policies that can be taken by the Indonesian government to strengthen cybersecurity in Indonesia. This study uses a literature review approach by utilizing data and documents related to cybersecurity in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the challenges faced by the Indonesian government today are, firstly, cybersecurity policies in Indonesia are still overlapping, secondly, the need for institutional improvement and authority over data protection and cybercrime, and finally, the human behavior factor in the emergence of cybersecurity. Based on some of these problems, it is necessary to submit policy recommendations, namely, first, the need for the Government of Indonesia to improve the quality and capability of the Indonesian people about the importance of cybersecurity, second, the Government of Indonesia needs to immediately ratify the draft law on cybersecurity, third, the need to strengthen the duties, functions and authority of the State Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the last recommendation is to increase the cooperation and involvement of the Indonesian government with cyber security institutions at the international level.
Adopting SDGs as International Norm at The Village Level
The purpose of this study is to analyze how the global SDGs, as an international norm, has been adopted into laws or policies at the local level. In line with this objective, the research examines how the global SDGs can influence the Indonesian government in implementing policies to incorporate them into national policies. In Indonesia, commitment to the SDGs is manifested through various national regulations, including Presidential Regulation No. 59 of 2017. The Indonesian government, through various ministries and agencies has taken steps to ensure the implementation of the SDGs reaches the regional level, including localizing the SDGs into Village SDGs program in accordance with Minister of Villages Regulation No. 21 of 2020. Nevertheless, the implementation of Village SDGs, which varies across regions according to the legal framework in each village, has resulted in differing levels of Village SDGs achievement, particularly in Sumberjaya Village, South Tambun District, Bekasi Regency, which has attained low achievement. This analysis is based on the international norm diffusion mechanism, with the research hypothesis stating that international norms can influence a country to adopt and localize such laws in accordance with the local context. The methodology used by the author in this research is qualitative, with data collection techniques including interviews and literature review.
Innovation In Village Development Policies Through BUMDes Development (Case Study of Successful BUMDes in Purbalingga Regency)
Innovation in village development policies through Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is one of the strategic steps to encourage economic development and the welfare of village communities in Purbalingga Regency. BUMDes is expected to be a driving force for the local economy by optimizing the potential of natural resources, human resources, and productive economic sectors in the village. This study aims to examine the implementation of innovation in village development policies through BUMDes in Purbalingga Regency, as well as its impact on village economic development and improving the quality of life of the community. The results of the study indicate that effective BUMDes management, supported by appropriate policies from the local government, can increase village original income (PADes), open up employment opportunities, and strengthen village competitiveness at the regional level. The success of BUMDes as an instrument of village development in Purbalingga requires collaboration between the government, community, and private sector in formulating and implementing inclusive and sustainable policies. Thus, this policy innovation has the potential to create significant socio-economic changes at the village level.
Challenging Patriarchy: The Resource Mobilization of 4B Movement in South Korea
The 4B movement emerged in South Korea in 2019 as a response to the dominance of patriarchal culture in various aspects of South Korean society. 4B as part of feminism carries 4 main values, namely bihon (refusal of marriage), bichulsan (refusal of childbirth), biyonae (refusal of romance), and bisekseu (refusal of sexual relationships). These values symbolize the rejection of patriarchal domination and reappoint the degree and role of women in the social, political, and economic life of South Korea. This research discusses how the 4B movement mobilizes its resources to achieve its goals in opposing patriarchal domination in South Korea. Using Bob Edwards and John D. McCarthy's theoretical framework of social movement resources and mobilization, resources consist of moral resources (such as public opinion and support from allies), cultural resources (such as shared values and beliefs), social-organizational resources (such as networks and coalitions), human resources (such as skilled volunteers and leaders), and material resources (such as funding and equipment), the movement was able to achieve significant impact. These resources can be applied using 4 mechanisms, namely aggregation (gathering resources from various sources), self-production (generating resources internally), co-optation/takeover (gaining control over resources belonging to others), and patronage (gaining support from external donors). The findings of this study show that the 4B movement can achieve significant goals by effectively mobilizing diverse resources and using appropriate resource access mechanisms. The 4B movement serves as a model for other social justice movements that want to challenge dominant power structures and create a more just society.
The Impact of Patronage and Political Support on the Determination of Priority Issues and Vision- Mission
Every five years, the routine of local executive elections is inevitably intertwined with patronage and political support. Who the candidate is and who backs them often wields more power than their track record and ideas. It's no secret that the political cost of such candidacies is substantial, not just in terms of finances but also in the endorsements that play a significant role in securing votes. Unfortunately, both endorsers and those behind the candidates typically expect reciprocal benefits, whether it be securing positions or projects. This can lead to a biased formulation of priority issues and visions from the outset. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the extent to which patronage and political support influence the determination of priority issues and visions in the 2024 Yogyakarta mayoral election. Using a qualitative approach, this research will describe the internal political dynamics of political parties and interest groups in determining the policy direction of mayoral candidates. Data will be collected through document analysis through the news and social media of each candidate pair or representatives of each candidate pair, then it will be analyze by the Miles and Huberman theory. It is hoped that this research will provide a deeper understanding of the political decision-making process at the local level and its implications for public participation.
Agricultural Transformation Based on Food Collectivism to Actualize Food Smart Cities in Indonesia
Indonesia is experiencing a food crisis and an import emergency. Although Indonesia is considered an agricultural and megadiverse country, it is still not optimal in utilizing and managing the potential of natural and human resources to meet the availability, affordability, quality, sustainability, and adaptation of food to the community. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Goal 2 and on Goal 12. The author offers an idea to solve these problems by exploring the concept of food collectivism. This concept is actualized in the form of parameters or indicators as an effort to transform agriculture. In addition, the author also conceptualizes food collectivism to realize food-smart cities, which is closely related to the transformation of modern agriculture. The research method used is descriptive, and research materials were analyzed through literature studies. The results show that food collectivism embodies food sovereignty, food independence, food security, and food sovereignty, interconnected by prioritizing the right to food and local food-based community welfare. Food collectivism can be a guideline in realizing food-smart cities where cities can be said to have been able to balance food production with the food needs of their residents.
Assessing Equity and Equality in the Indonesia School Zoning Policy
Indonesia has implemented the school zoning policy since 2017, yet classic debates arise almost every study year. This study explores concerns about achieving the primary objective of the policy in terms of equity and equality. Library research of current issues from related articles, mass media broadcasts, and news was conducted to identify and sort them regarding equity and equality. Practices and experiences from other countries are also screened as a comparison and consideration for alternative actions that may be applicable. The address of residence and certain schools are full of registrants, which, in contrast, other schools lack, and not all children, especially those in need due to economic reasons, can go to public schools, are among the public issues reported in each study year. Despite the enthusiasts of this zoning system, complaints are also found, especially regarding equality and equity. In the area with many public schools available, there will be no problem. However, not all regions have a similar situation in accommodating prospective students. This finding on public issues related to the zoning system is intended to improve the policy implementation of yearly student registration in Indonesia.
Mongabay and Greeners Media News Framing of the Role of Indigenous Peoples in Addressing Climate Change in Indonesia
Climate change has a significant impact on various sectors of life, such as health, social, and economic. Almost no country is unaffected by climate change. If not handled properly and quickly, climate change can cause long-term changes in the climate system which then have a broad impact on the survival of humanity. Handling climate change is 1 of 17 goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) declared at the UN General Assembly in 2015. In addition, the media as a means of mass communication has a major role in conveying environmental issues. This study aims to determine the framing of environmental issues by the Mongabay and Greeners media related to the role of indigenous peoples in overcoming climate change. This study uses Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. The research approach used is a qualitative approach with a constructivism paradigm. The results of the study show that both Mongabay and Greeners position indigenous peoples as victims of government development projects and highlighting the strength of indigenous peoples in overcoming environmental impacts if their rights are fulfilled
Smart City as a Form of Bureaucratic Transformation in Banyumas Regency
This study discusses the concept of smart city as a form of bureaucratic transformation in Banyumas Regency. In the digital era, the government is required to optimize public services through technological innovation to improve the efficiency and quality of services to the community. Banyumas Regency, as one of the regions that is developing the concept of smart city, is trying to carry out bureaucratic reform by adopting information and communication technology (ICT) to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of its government services. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, where data is obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis related to the implementation of smart city. The results of the study show that the implementation of smart city in Banyumas covers several sectors, including public services, infrastructure, and data management. These findings also identify challenges in terms of infrastructure readiness, human resource competency, and the need for community participation. The implementation of smart city in Banyumas Regency is expected to encourage the realization of a more responsive, transparent, and accountable bureaucracy, so that it can meet the needs of the community more effectively.
Hierarchies of Power and Civic Politics: Dynamics of Affirmative Action of Marginalized Communities on Government Policies through FPIC
Public participation is an important factor in policymaking. This participation must be viewed as meaningful rather than merely symbolic. Recently, the government's power structure set a bad precedent for policymaking that does not provide affirmative action to affected communities, particularly Indigenous ones. Marginalized communities are forced to follow and implement government policies. This study will examine the dynamics of marginalized communities' affirmative action toward government policies using FPIC (free, Prior, Informed, and Consent). To formulate the argument, this research uses normative legal research with a conceptual and statutory approach. According to this hypothetical research, 1) there are at least three problems in public participation and affirmative action towards marginalized communities; First, non-inclusive governance undermines not only the democratic credo, but also the political role of community citizenship, which has four major dimensions: membership, legal status, rights, and participation. Second, the government wields power through state institutions, including acts of violence that result in persecution and criminal activity. Third, the government through state institutions needs to prioritize political will to present policy products that provide protection to Indigenous peoples. 2) Based on these issues, the power hierarchy has a significant influence in policy making. Recognizing civic politics is critical for meaningful participation. The author proposes that in order to improve inclusive governance, the government's implementation of the FPIC approach allows communities to exercise their fundamental right to state whether they agree or disagree with a policy that will be implemented in their living space, ensuring that governance runs smoothly and inclusively.
Global Governance in Water and Sanitation Management: The Role of Bali Water Forum in Achieving SDGs 6
Water insecurity has become an increasing global threat in recent decades due to population growth, rising inequality and climate change, increasing competition over water resources, and unsustainable development. In relation to these issues, global governance plays a crucial role, one of which is to facilitate dialog and negotiation among policy makers. This research aims to explain the role of the Bali Water Forum, the 10th World Water Forum held in Bali, in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 6, which is to ensure the availability and sustainable management of clean water and sanitation for all. This research uses a qualitative approach with primary data sources consisting of official documents and formal press results and secondary data consisting of books, journal articles, news portals, and reports from related institutions. Using the basic assumptions of liberal institutionalism theory, namely reciprocal and interdependent relationships realized through cooperation, this research explains how the Bali Water Forum acts as a forum that facilitates actors from all levels and fields to work together, discuss, and exchange information regarding knowledge, experiences, and problems related to water and sanitation so that joint solutions are obtained.
Strategies for Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) by Women’s Civil Society Organizations in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia
The spread of radical ideologies, violent extremism, and terrorism in Banyumas Regency poses a substantial risk, as indicated by the frequent arrests of suspected terrorists in the region over the past five years. Terrorist acts affect both men and women differently, with women and children often experiencing layered victimization. Furthermore, given the shift in terrorist strategies that now promote the active participation of women as both sympathizers and perpetrators. Therefore, inclusive prevention strategies are needed to engage women and gender perspectives in peacebuilding, counter-radicalization, and deradicalization. The efforts to prevent violent extremism should not be limited to the responsibilities of central and local governments but must also engage civil society organizations. The objective of this study, therefore, seeks to understand the views of women's civil society organizations in Banyumas Regency regarding measures taken to prevent violent extremism. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, employing in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) for data collection. The findings of this research are that there are various women's civil society organizations that have undertaken preventive actions against violent extremism, especially in counter-radicalization activities, including religious education or da'wah, workshops and socializations, social community outreach, economic empowerment, and promoting moderate teachings. They also collaborate with several organizations and local governments to strengthen community resilience.
Actor Network Study: an Examination of the Implementation of the Rempoah Village Climate Village Program as it relates to the Development of an Eco-Tourism Destination
Rempoah Village has integrated two significant initiatives. The implementation of the Climate Village Program (ProKlim) constituted the initial phase, which was followed by the development of a tourism village based on environmental education. The objective of the study was to examine the actor networks that were formed and that played a role in the implementation of these two initiatives in Rempoah Village. The network of actors who play a role in Rempoah Village was analyzed using Actor Network Theory (ANT) as the analytical framework. This theory underscores the notion that a continuous process of change occurs among actors. The roles and relationships between actors are among the key determinants of success in achieving a goal. This study offers valuable insights into the role and process of actor network formation in the context of the Rempoah Village case study, specifically in relation to the implementation of the two initiatives. The author employs a qualitative research approach, utilising both primary and secondary data sources. The findings indicate that a network of actors has emerged in Rempoah Village through a process of interaction, characterised by translations and intermediaries between actors who play a role in each other's activities.
Tourism Policy Architecture in Southeast Asia: Examining Thailand and Indonesia's Approaches to Sustainable Tourism Development
Thailand and Indonesia, two popular Southeast Asian travel destinations dealing with serious environmental issues as a result of increasing tourism demands, are the subjects of this study, which compares their approaches to sustainable tourism growth. Although both nations have adopted sustainable tourism policies, their governance frameworks and implementation tactics vary significantly, providing an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of diverse policy architectures. This research uses qualitative document analysis and media framing analysis of policy documents, institutional reports, and media coverage from 2019 to 2023 to compare the tourism policy frameworks and environmental protection outcomes of the two countries. The results indicate that Thailand's centralized strategy yields more uniform environmental enhancements, demonstrating quantifiable effectiveness in marine ecosystem conservation (25% improvement) and garbage reduction (45% drop in tourist regions). Conversely, Indonesia's decentralized system has disparate regional performance, marked by significant accomplishments in community-driven programs although facing difficulties in upholding uniform standards throughout locations. The study's ramifications reach beyond Southeast Asia, providing significant insights for developing countries managing the equilibrium between tourism expansion and environmental conservation. This research enhances the literature on sustainable tourism policy by creating a comparative methodology to assess policy efficacy across various governance forms, particularly pertinent to places undergoing rapid tourism development.
Utilization of Social Capital in the Brown Sugar Industry to Maintain Business Continuity in Sukolilo Village, Wajak District, Malang Regency

A Decade of SDGs in Indonesia: The Reality in Higher Education Settings
This study evaluates university students' understanding and awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the importance of SDGs in the context of sustainable development, this research is relevant for understanding how the younger generation engages with these global objectives. The methodology used was a quantitative survey involving 100 student respondents, with questions covering levels of understanding, sources of information, and perceptions of SDG education. The findings show that only 23% of respondents are familiar with the SDGs, while their understanding of specific goals remains low. Most students consider SDG education essential but feel that the university has not sufficiently incorporated this topic into its teaching. Based on these findings, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to enhance SDG outreach and education among students through various initiatives, such as curriculum integration and informational campaigns. This study suggests that understanding SDGs could help students contribute more actively to achieving global sustainability goals.
Türkiye’s Nuclear Energy Ambition: Its Foreign Policy and the Dynamics of Collaboration with Russia
Türkiye’s quest for nuclear energy has emerged as a strategic power pillar of the country’s energy security, foreign policy and geopolitical impact. This research aims to delve into Türkiye’s nuclear journey, particularly focusing on the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project which was launched in the late 2010s in collaboration with Russia. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Turkiye holds a strategic position. It analyzes the challenges that deteriorating NATO-Russia relations can pose to Turkiye’s nuclear plans and its possible plans to leverage nuclear energy as a diplomatic tool. It also analyzes Russia’s nuclear export strategy to key G20 countries, including Turkiye, as part of its broader global energy influence. Furthermore, this research attempts to explore how Türkiye’s nuclear policy aligns with the SDGs, which aims at economic development without compromising environmental degradation. Methodologically, the study employs constructivism theory and qualitative methods, including analysis of diplomatic engagements, policy papers, energy reports, official government publications, and agreements. The findings reveal that Türkiye's foreign policy strategy regarding nuclear energy is not only driven by a commitment to meeting domestic energy needs, but Türkiye’s foreign policy efforts are calibrated to balance cooperative relations with Russia, while maintaining its accuracy in the nuclear domain. The results of this study underline that Türkiye’s energy strategy has more to do with the assertion of its independent identity in a sharply divided Europe than simply achieving energy security in the context of contemporary international relations in the framework of global energy civilization and geopolitical complexity.
Connecting Actors and Policy Flows in Collaborative Governance
The pursuit of sustainable development is inherently complex, necessitating a governance model that fosters collaboration among various stakeholders across different sectors. This research utilizes Howlett's Multiple Stream framework to explore how the alignment of policy streams— problems, politics, and solutions—can be achieved through collaborative governance strategies. The study emphasizes the interactions between key actors, such as government entities, civil society, and private sector participants, in formulating policies that advance sustainability objectives. The core issue addressed in the research is the difficulty of harmonizing diverse interests and viewpoints within the policy-making process, where fragmented efforts often disrupt effective collaboration. By employing a qualitative approach, the study investigates case studies from Indonesian sustainable development projects, focusing on how various stakeholders engage in policy processes, recognize opportunities for action, and utilize policy streams to influence both agenda-setting and implementation. The study's findings indicate that for collaborative governance in sustainable development to succeed, there must be effective synchronization of efforts across the three policy streams. The combination of political commitment, accurate problem identification, and practical solutions is critical for fostering collaboration. However, there are ongoing challenges in ensuring sustained engagement of stakeholders throughout the policy process, especially as political contexts evolve. This research enhances the understanding of collaborative governance by showing that the Multiple Stream framework is an effective tool for analyzing and optimizing policy processes within the realm of sustainable development.
Collaborative Governance Policy For Development of National Strategic Projects in The Field of Infrastructure in The Banten Province: Case Study of Construction of The Sindangheula Dam in Serang District and The Karian Dam in Lebak District
Banten Province has two dams, namely the Sindangheula Dam and the Karian Dam, which are two national strategic projects in Banten Province as stated in Presidential Regulation Number 3 of 2016 concerning the acceleration of the implementation of national strategic projects, that in the context of accelerating the implementation of strategic projects to meet basic needs and improve welfare community, efforts need to be made to accelerate the implementation of national strategic projects. The Sindangheula Dam, which was built in 2015, is located in Pabuaran District, Serang Regency, was inaugurated in March 2021 by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, this dam has the benefit of providing water for Serang Regency/City and Cilegon City, providing supply needs to the Cibanten Irrigation Area, controlling floods, water storage, recreational facilities and water tourism destinations, as well as the potential for generating electrical energy. Meanwhile, the construction of the Karian dam is an effort to fulfill raw water needs and agricultural needs such as providing water for irrigation. The government hopes that the construction of the dam can fulfill its main objective as a supplier of water needs in the Banten region and its surroundings. Apart from meeting raw water and irrigation needs, the construction of the Karian Dam also has several purposes, namely to deal with flooding problems, as a water tourism destination and the potential for generating electrical energy. One of the keys to the success of the construction of the two dams is the implementation of collaborative governance (An-sell and Gash, 2007) as a more holistic and participatory approach, involving various stakeholders in the decision-making process, as well as creating a more transparent and accountable ecosystem.

Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): The Resilience of ‘Posyandu Cadre’ in Promoting Stunting Reduction Program
Since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were first adopted in New York in 2015, the Indonesian government has taken a collaborative governance approach to achieving the SDGs targets. This means that several institutions and different levels of government have been involved in the same SDG initiatives, such as reducing the prevalence of stunting. While collaborative governance highlights the dominance of state actors, this paper argues that regarding the stunting reduction, the backbone lies in the hands of Posyandu cadres, a voluntary group of women who have effectively provided maternal and child health education to the village women. These mothers, who work with expectant mothers, pregnant mothers, and mothers with children under 1000 days old, are the unsung heroes of the war against stunting. This research applies the localization of the SDGs framework to demonstrate how local actors also play essential roles in implementing international norms and initiatives. This research uses the experience of Posyandu cadres in Banjar Seminai village, Siak Regency, as a case study of community resilience in reducing stunting.

The Effect of Economic Growth on Increased Household Waste in Semarang City
The increasing pollution levels are one of the many problems related to nature and environmental sustainability. Several cities in Indonesia have started to address the waste problem and seek solutions to deal with it. One such city is Semarang, the capital of Central Java Province. Many factors contribute to the increase in waste generation, including economic levels, city centers, industrial centers, low environmental awareness, and education centers. The relationship between these elements shows an increase in the amount of waste in Semarang. The city's economy is developing rapidly compared to other areas in Central Java, even surpassing national growth. The Semarang City Government has implemented various waste management models, such as waste banks and paid plastic bags. Despite these efforts, the government has failed to address the problem adequately, without realizing that households are the largest contributors to daily consumption. Data shows that women are the most involved actors in household domestic activities related to waste sorting. This study was conducted using a mixed-method approach. Public awareness of waste sorting from home by the community was found low before being transported to the waste collection center. This is even though waste sorting plays an important role in reducing the generation of accumulated waste, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability. Additionally, it increases public awareness to actively participate in protecting the environment.

Enhancing Deliberative Governance In Labour Protection Policy (The Case Of Banyumas’s Landscape)
This study aims to test and explore the deliberation models and interaction patterns of bureaucracy and policy actors that develop in the dialogue forum-media in the implementation of labor protection policies known as deliberative governance. With a descriptive qualitative data analysis method and in-depth interviews based on case studies in Banyumas, Central Java and available labor regulation documents, 4 (four) deliberative governance models were found in labor protection policies. First, the elite deliberation governance model, namely deliberations initiated by and among the executive elite, Second, the people's representative deliberation model attended by regional legislative members and political party actors, and Third, the deliberation model driven by local labor/business organizations and Fourth, the large deliberation model, namely a forum that presents all stakeholders and actors in one large forum called the "Labor Rembug Forum" (FRB) or "Joint Deliberation on Employment" (MBK). From the research results, it is concluded that a grand deliberation involving all actors is able to accelerate the implementation of labor protection policies so that it can be a new alternative to accelerate policy implementation. By increasing the quality and quantity of deliberation at various levels, it has been proven to be able to encourage employers, workers and legislators to reach a new consensus, namely a commitment to register workers in the social protection program. Here, the regional government together with the Employment Social Security Agency must be able to monitor the consensus and commitment of all policy actors so that the agreement is truly realized so that labor protection is increasingly real and is able to improve the welfare of workers as a whole.

The Role Of Governance Capability In The PMI Desmigrative Program's Success
his research aims to evaluate the relationship between governance capability and three dependent variables: the increase in income of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI), the number of businesses established by PMI, and the level of satisfaction of PMI with the Desmigratif Program. Using linear regression analysis, this study analyzes data from six regions in Indonesia that exhibit variations in governance capability. The results indicate that governance capability has a significant relationship with increased income, the number of businesses established, and the level of satisfaction among migrant workers. Higher governance capability is consistently associated with greater increases in MSME income, with a regression coefficient of 9.65, meaning that each one-unit increase in governance capability is related to a 9.65% increase in income. Additionally, better governance capability also drives an increase in the number of businesses established by MSMEs, with a coefficient of 17.80. The level of MSME satisfaction with the programs also rises alongside improvements in governance capability, with a coefficient of 9.65. A very high R-squared value (between 0.98 and 0.99) indicates that governance capability is the main factor influencing the program's success across all dependent variables. This research concludes that enhancing governance capability at the local level can play a crucial role in supporting the success of the Desmigratif Program, particularly in improving the economic and social welfare of migrant workers. To increase the program's effectiveness across regions, it is essential to strengthen governance in areas with low governance capability.
