Caldera Toba UGG Yellow Card and Stakeholder Synergy Issues
Full text linkThe designation of the Caldera Toba as a UNESCO Global Geopark (UGG) opens up great opportunities for Indonesia to be increasingly recognized in the eyes of the world, especially in the field of tourism. The uniqueness of the Caldera's geographical and morphological conditions is enhanced by the development and construction to promote the caldera to foreign and local tourists.

Study on the Effectiveness of the People Representative Council in Legislation of Regional Regulations
Full text linkThis study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Langkat Regency in regional regulation legislation (Perda) during the 2019-2024 period. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document studies. The results of the study show that the Langkat Regency DPRD has ratified a number of Regional Regulations, both initiated by the DPRD itself and proposed by the executive. However, the effectiveness of the DPRD in legislation is still influenced by the quality of human resources, low public participation, dominance of executive roles, and political dynamics within the DPRD. The quality of human resources and the capacity of DPRD members are obstacles in formulating Regional Regulations that are responsive to the needs of the community. Community participation in the process of formulating the Regional Regulation is also still limited, so the aspirations of the community have not been fully accommodated. In addition, the dominance of the executive in the submission of the Regional Regulation reduces the initiative of the DPRD in making policies. Despite the challenges, opportunities to increase the effectiveness of the DPRD are still open through increasing human resource capacity and optimizing community participation. With this effort, it is hoped that the Langkat Regency DPRD can produce a higher quality Regional Regulation and support regional development
Learning Management System vs Conventional Assessment: Reviewing the Best Assessment for English subjects
Full text linkTechnological advances in education have encouraged innovation in learning assessment methods, including in English subjects. This article discusses the effectiveness of Learning Management System (LMS) versus conventional assessment in measuring students' English proficiency. Based on a systematic literature review of 15 journals, it explores the advantages and disadvantages of each method, such as speed of feedback, student engagement, and measurement accuracy. Results show that LMS-based assessments offer efficiency, interactivity and the ability to provide detailed data on student performance. However, challenges such as limited access to technology and lack of direct interaction are obstacles. In contrast, conventional assessments outperform in the aspects of social interaction and direct observation, although they are often slower and prone to subjective bias. This study concludes that the LMS has greater potential in improving English learning outcomes, but a combination of both approaches can be an optimal solution. The implications of this study provide insights for educators and policy makers in designing a more effective technology-based curriculum
