EVALUATION OF FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES DIGITALIZATION IN JAMBI CITY WITH "SIMERAH KOJA" MOBILE APPLICATION
Get PDFThis study aims to evaluate digital-based public services through the mobile application "SiMerah Koja" in fire and rescue services by the Jambi City government. Jambi City has a high population density that has a high potential for fire. One of the factors for the slow handling of fires is the lack of utilization of technology, so the Jambi city government is committed to creating effective and efficient services by digitizing public services. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. Determination of informants in this study was carried out using purposive sampling technique, namely taking informants who were in accordance with the research focus. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation which were then analyzed by researchers.

First, the lack of government socialization to the public regarding the SiMerah Koja mobile application. Second, the lack of digital literacy of citizens.

THE REPRESENTATION OF CONTESTED PERSPECTIVES IN THE FILM "NAGABONAR JADI 2": A STUDY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFFilm, as an entertainment and educational medium, has a unique role in reflecting social reality. Although the film “Nagabonar Jadi 2” explicitly features a variety of social issues, an in-depth understanding of the underlying dynamics and their implications for social development is often not fully articulated. This research chooses a descriptive qualitative approach in abstracting and analyzing the film, using scene and storyline observations and the theoretical framework of social development. This research highlights the absence of social development reflections in Indonesian films as a medium for critical education of society. The analysis shows that the film effectively represents the contestation of fundamental views between traditional values (Nagabonar) and modernity (Bonaga). This contestation is manifested in issues such as land use conflict (family grave), urban-rural divide, access to education, cultural shift, and public service integrity. The discovery that these social issues are more appropriately identified as “contestation of perspectives” is a distinct contribution to the field of social development studies, offering a new perspective in analyzing films as objects of development studies. From a social development perspective, this contestation underscores the urgency of a holistic approach, respect for local wisdom, enhancement of human and social capital, and public-private synergy for an inclusive and equitable development
THE IMPACT OF COAL MINING ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE COMMUNITY IN SANGATTA, EAST KUTAI REGENCY
Get PDFThis research aims to analyze the impact of coal mining on the social, economic, and environmental conditions of communities in Sangatta District, East Kutai Regency. Mining, as one of the key sectors driving regional economic development, also brings about various issues related to social change, economic inequality, and environmental degradation. The research method employed is a survey with a quantitative approach, namely the collection of measurable numerical data that can be statistically analyzed through questionnaires. The study involved 30 respondents determined by purposive sampling, that is, deliberate selection based on specific criteria namely, residents living around the mining area who are considered to be most affected. The results show that 66.67% of respondents were in the age range of 19-31 years, with the majority stating that they benefited economically from increased job opportunities (76.67%), followed by improvements in local businesses (13.33%) and infrastructure development (6.67%). In terms of social aspects, most respondents (46.67%) assessed that the level of crime or social problems remained the same, although 6.67% perceived an increase. Meanwhile, from the perspective of regional economy, 70% of respondents noted a significant rise in land and property prices, ranging from 50-100% or even higher. The environmental impacts reported by the community include air pollution, land degradation, and disruption of water resources. This indicates that although mining provides economic contributions to most residents, there are also consequences in the form of social inequality and environmental pressures. Therefore, more sustainable mining management is needed, taking into account the balance between economic benefits, social stability, and environmental sustainability

Get PDFThis study analyzes stakeholder satisfaction towards village financial governance in Serang Regency. A quantitative approach was employed, involving a survey of 400 respondents from various villages selected purposively based on Article 16 of the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration’s Regulation No. 21 of 2020. The data were collected using questionnaires with a Guttman scale.

To improve satisfaction, village governments must enhance transparency, increase community participation, and ensure a more equitable and impactful distribution of programs. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of improving village financial governance by strengthening transparency, fostering community engagement, ensuring fair program distribution, and enhancing community support to increase stakeholder satisfaction in financial management
