Analysis of Citizenship Character Education in Building a Generation Concerned with Environmental and Social Issues
No full textThis research examines citizenship character education as a strategy to build a generation that is concerned about environmental and social issues. By delving into citizenship values such as responsibility, empathy, and justice, character education is expected to create individuals who are not only aware of their environment but also actively contribute to society. Citizenship Education (PKn) plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ characters who care about environmental and social matters. This study aims to analyze the extent to which PKn contributes to building a youth generation that has awareness and concrete actions to preserve the environment and care for others. Through literature review and case studies, this research will identify factors influencing the success of PKn in achieving these goals, as well as provide recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of PKn learning in the context of character development. The results indicate that the integration of character education into the curriculum produces a generation that is more sensitive and proactive in preserving environmental sustainability and improving social welfare

Workforce Empowerment in Digital Innovation Governance in the Management of Regional Own-source Revenue of Makassar City
No full textOptimal management of regional own-source revenue will encourage better regional development. In the current digitalization era, governance based on digital innovation is a key factor in increasing the amount of regional own-source revenue. Therefore, this study aims to analyze workforce empowerment in digital innovation governance in managing regional own-source revenue.
This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study strategy. The research informants are the leaders and staff at the Makassar City Regional Revenue Agency, as the leading sector in regional revenue management. Data sources include primary and secondary data. Data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
The results of the study show that the readiness of the Regional Revenue Agency to carry out digital innovation is not optimal. Digital innovations currently used include the PAKINTA application, payment integration with Qris and Virtual Account, electronic regional government transactions (ETPD), and digital socialization and education. From the perspective of human resource empowerment, it shows that the level of digital literacy of the State Civil Apparatus is not evenly distributed. This is also due to the lack of digitalization-based training for operators to manage various digital innovations in the Regional Revenue Agency. The organizational culture is supportive at the top level (top-down), but has not been fully integrated into the daily operational level of ASN. The reward system has not been designed to encourage ASN involvement in digital innovation structurally and systematically. These findings are obstacles in optimizing digital innovation governance in the management of Makassar City’s Regional Original Income (PAD)

This research used a qualitative approach. Data collection methods included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data sources consisted of primary and secondary data, while data analysis was conducted using interactive methods. The informants in this research are stakeholders who are directly involved in improving the economy of coastal communities in Southwest Papua Province.
The results show that integration in sustainable governance is realized through collaboration between local governments, traditional institutions, academics, and indigenous peoples in coastal area management. The transdisciplinary approach has begun to be applied by integrating knowledge, local cultural values, and blue economy-based policies. Blue economy-based programs such as sustainable fisheries, ecotourism, and mariculture have been implemented. However, integration still faces problems such as the lack of integrated data, weak coordination between sectors, and limited capacity of indigenous peoples. Nevertheless, the support of the special autonomy policy and the commitment of the local government is one of the key factors in improving the economy of coastal communities based on the blue economy

No full textThis research explores the determinants of corporate social rsesponsibility (CSR) governance and its impact on economic and social performance, with a focus on sustainable CSR practices. The study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology to synthesize existing research on CSR, governance, and its outcomes. The problem statement addresses the need for a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing CSR, particularly focusing on corporate governance mechanisms, government regulations, and external pressures from stakeholders. This research aims to analyze how CSR practices are managed and implemented across various industries and countries, with an emphasis on achieving sustainable, social, and environmental outcomes. The methodology involves analyzing qualitative data based on the meta-analyses from peer-reviewed journals.

This approach highlights the importance of transparency, accountability, and aligning CSR practices with social expectations. The findings reveal that good corporate governance, including board independence and gender diversity, positively influences CSR effectiveness. Government intervention through strict regulations and fiscal incentives also plays a critical role in ensuring the successful implementation of CSR policies. However, challenges such as greenwashing and the gap between developed and developing countries remain, requiring a more systematic evidence-based approach to CSR evaluation. The study concludes that effective CSR requires collaboration between the private sector, government, and civil society to create a transparent and accountable system for long-term sustainability
The Impact of Public Sector Financial Dominance on Economic Development Paths in Iraq (2004–2022)
No full textThis research aims to analyze the impact of government financial dominance indicators (public expenditures, general budget, and public debt) on average per capita GDP in Iraq for the period 2004-2022. The study relied on an econometric methodology using the Autoregressive Time Lag (ARDL) model to measure the relationship between variables. The results showed a long-term equilibrium relationship between financial dominance indicators and average per capita income, as increasing public spending positively affects economic growth when directed towards productive investments. The results also indicated that public debt is associated with an increase in average per capita income when used to finance development projects, but exceeding 60% of GDP poses a risk to financial stability. The applied analysis revealed sharp fluctuations in the general budget due to excessive reliance on oil revenues and its impact on global crises (such as the 2008 financial recession and the COVID-19 pandemic) and security events (such as ISIS control). An increase in public expenditures was also observed with a weak direction towards infrastructure due to administrative corruption. The study provides a framework for understanding the impact of fiscal policies on the standard of living of individuals, while emphasizing the need for structural reforms to enhance the resilience of the Iraqi
