Study of Policy Coherence in Coastal Community Development Based on Local Wisdom in Coastal Urban Area
Full text linkPolicy plays a vital role in addressing the complex economic, social, and environmental challenges faced by coastal communities. This study examines the degree of coherence among coastal community development policies in Surabaya City, focusing on alignment between cross-sectoral policies and local wisdom–based community empowerment programs in the eastern coastal area. Community empowerment is assessed through policy implementation actors, program managerial aspects, and program targets, using parameters such as increased access and market share, expanded access to capital, and improved capacity to manage capital through cooperatives. Methodologically, the study applies MACTOR to analyze actor dynamics and spatial analysis to map the distribution and proximity of empowerment programs. Findings indicate that existing policies show limited coherence, especially in cross-sectoral integration and program synergy. Although community groups serve as key drivers, institutional fragmentation constrains policy effectiveness. Stronger policy alignment and multi-actor coordination are therefore essential to improve coastal community welfare and sustainability

Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to Understand Universiti Malaya Students’ Intent to Participate in Sustainability Initiatives
Full text linkAs universities increasingly implement sustainable practices, student engagement in pro-environmental behavior is crucial for establishing a lasting sustainable culture. While the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is extensively utilized in environmental research, there is a gap in understanding student participation in university sustainability initiatives in Malaysia. This study aims to investigate the gap by analyzing student intention to participate, based on attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control through the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Data were acquired from 381 respondents via internet platforms and were then analyzed using statistical analysis. Results indicate no significant correlation between attitude and intention to participate. Nonetheless, subjective standard and perceived behavioral control substantially impacted intention. Additionally, gender and study background show a significant difference in intention. These findings indicate that the impact of society and perceived competence significantly impacts student participation, providing an opportunity for universities to focus on designing effective sustainability programs
Green Spaces and Crime: Spatial Modeling of Socio-Economic Influences in Jakarta's Urban Areas, 2022
Full text linkUrban crime is a multidimensional issue influenced by environmental, economic, and social interactions. This study investigates factors affecting crime rates in DKI Jakarta, including green open space (RTH), night light intensity (NTL), security services and worship facilities, extreme poverty, relative wealth index (RWI), and population density. Using remote sensing and spectral indices, green open spaces were identified and classified with a random forest model, achieving 95.53% overall accuracy and a kappa coefficient of 94.19%. Spatial regression analysis with Queen Contiguity weights was employed to examine the influence of these factors on crime rates. Results from the Spatial Autoregressive Moving Average (SARMA) model show that green space area, NTL, and extreme poverty significantly impact crime rates. Districts with more green spaces, such as South Jakarta, experienced lower crime rates, while densely populated and impoverished areas, such as North Jakarta, exhibited higher crime rates. The study highlights the importance of ecological factors in crime prevention, emphasizing the integration of green space planning and big data analytics. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers to develop safer urban environments and support Indonesia’s efforts toward achieving SDG 16 on peace and justice
Can Equivalency Programs (EPs) Align Formal Education Standards? Evaluating Teacher Proficiency of Emancipated Curriculum Implementation in West Java Province
Full text linkTeacher performance is a critical factor in accreditation assessments for Equivalency Programs (EPs) in Indonesia. In 2023, 62.05% of EPs in West Java remained unaccredited due to failure to meet national education standards.. To address this issue, the Indonesian government introduced the Merdeka Belajar (Emancipated Curriculum) in 2022, aiming to standardize learning processes between formal schools and EPs. This study evaluates teachers’ proficiency in implementing the curriculum across 83 EPs in West Java, based on an online survey of 282 teachers selected by accreditation level. Quantitative analysis using generalized ordinal logistic regression (gologit2) revealed that teacher proficiency was categorized as "insufficient." The study found no significant differences in proficiency scores based on accreditation status, curriculum level options, or rural versus urban locations. However, teaching experience in formal schools, teaching license, and participation in EP-specific training programs were positively associated with higher proficiency levels. These findings highlight the need to enhance teacher training, recruitment, and development to improve EP quality and meet national standards
Water Quality Assessment at Consumption Points in High School Campuses in the Province of Antique, Philippines
Full text linkThis research presents a comprehensive citizen-scientific water quality assessment and evaluation, focusing on water quality at the points of water consumption in public and private high school campuses in the Province of Antique, Philippines. The water quality assessment showed that Escherichia coli was detected in several samples from tap water exclusively used for handwashing by public school students, indicating potential contamination sources such as outdated treatment facilities. To improve the WASH environment of the provincial school campuses, old facilities, such as filters and pipes, need to be checked and renovated to avoid contamination caused by penetration and leakage. School-level and individual practices, such as chlorination, covering water tanks, and encouragement of handwashing, could be the first step. The citizen scientific methodology facilitated the collection of water quality information and enhanced discussions with stakeholders, generating practical and affordable solutions based on the findings
Reaping The Whirlwind: The Impact of Parental Smoking Habits on Children's Education
Full text linkWhile parental smoking is widely linked to negative health and developmental consequences for children, its long-term influence on educational outcomes has received relatively little attention. This study investigates how parents’ smoking behaviors affect the number of years children spend in school, providing important evidence for policymaking in Indonesia to support human capital development. Using panel data from Waves 3 and 5 of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and a fixed-effects model, results show a persistent negative association between parental smoking and children’s educational outcomes. Maternal smoking exhibits a similar direction and magnitude of effect as paternal smoking, but is not statistically significant, possibly due to compensatory parental attitudes toward education. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive policies, including higher tobacco taxes, stricter household smoking regulations, stronger enforcement of school attendance, and equitable access to educational infrastructure
Applying Strategic Change Cycle to Stunting Reduction: A Case Study from Tana Tidung Regency Indonesia
Full text linkTana Tidung Regency experienced an unusual stunting trend, rising from 22.8 percent (2021) to 30.7 percent (2022), then dropping sharply to 15.1 percent (2023), the fastest decline in North Kalimantan. This study analyzes the strategic planning process of the Health Office using the Strategy Change Cycle model. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing purposive sampling and interactive model data analysis, with data sourced from informants, documents, and activities. The results show that the significant achievement was driven by leadership commitment, cross-sector collaboration, and local innovations. However, challenges remain, including weak integration of stunting issues into strategic documents, limited resources, and the absence of clear performance indicators and a dedicated Regional Action Plan. The study concludes that adaptive strategies tailored to local contexts can effectively accelerate stunting reduction, even in resource-constrained areas. These findings contribute to the literature on strategic planning in local governments and support the achievement of SDG 2 and SDG 3
From Data to Policy: Integrating Spatial Clustering and Digital Sentiment Analysis for Urban Tourism Planning
Full text linkThis study aims to identify spatial patterns of artificial tourist attractions and extract key visitor concerns to support urban tourism planning. To achieve this objective, spatial clustering and sentiment analysis were applied sequentially as complementary analytical approaches. The DBSCAN algorithm was used to group 62 artificial tourist attractions into five spatially coherent clusters based on geographic proximity. In parallel, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques were employed to analyze 2,800 online visitor reviews and classify dominant sentiment themes. The results reveal distinct spatial structures of attractions and recurring negative issues related to pricing transparency, parking availability, food quality, accessibility, and facility conditions. Using Batu City, Indonesia, as a case study, this research demonstrates how integrating geospatial analysis with user-generated content can transform informal digital feedback into policy-relevant insights. The proposed framework offers a practical, data-driven approach for informing tourism governance and planning decisions in emerging urban tourism destinations
From Campaigns to Systems: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Indonesia’s One Village, One ECE
Full text linkEarly childhood education (ECE) is a critical foundation for human capital development. This study evaluates Indonesia’s 2022 “One Village, One ECE” campaign, which aims to expand access to early childhood education. Using pooled cross-sectional, fixed-effects, and random-effects models on district-level data (2019-2024), we assess the policy's impact on gross enrollment rates (GER) for children aged 3–6 as a part of the proxy indicator SDG 4.2 (ECE) and a key foundation for achieving SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Findings indicate that local campaign commitment alone does not significantly increase enrollment. Instead, enrollment gains are driven by strategic factors: infrastructure expansion, local ECE budgets, and the Family Hope Program (PKH). We conclude that political commitment must be complemented by systemic implementation to achieve universal ECE access, so that a finding reflected in Indonesia’s relevant policy shift toward 13 years of compulsory education (1 year pre-primary and 12 years primary and secondary education)
