Optimization of Institutional Roles Based on Regional Leadership Commitment (A Case Study in Garut Regency)
Get PDFThe policy of decentralization and regional autonomy in Indonesia aims to promote regional development by granting authority to regions to administer governance and development. However, the implementation of this policy still faces various challenges, including limited community involvement, low cooperation among regional governments, as well as constraints in regional capacity and finances. This research aims to optimize the role of regional institutions in regional development, focusing on five districts in Garut Regency. The research method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis, aiming to comprehensively describe the role of regional institutions in regional development. The findings of this research conclude that regional governance in Indonesia has undergone significant changes after implementing decentralization. Sub-districts, previously considered ordinary regional entities, have now become more significant entities within the framework of regional governance. This change reflects efforts to provide greater autonomy to regions in managing local governance and development affairs. Thus, sub-districts play a more proactive role in formulating policies, managing resources, and advancing development at the local level. However, these changes also bring implications such as potential conflicts among institutions and challenges in optimizing the effectiveness of regional governance as a whole. The optimal effectiveness of institutions will function well when there is strong commitment from regional leaders to ensure that these changes align with the goals of regional development and the interests of the communities they serve

Impact of Hedonistic Lifestyle on Social Interaction among High School Students: A Case Study in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the impact of hedonism lifestyle on students' social relationships at SMA Negeri 4 Binjai. The hedonism lifestyle, which focuses on the search for pleasure and instant gratification through the consumption of luxury goods and participation in high-cost social activities, has become an increasingly common phenomenon among teenagers. This research used a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method, involving observation, interviews and documentation of students, subject teachers, counseling teachers and school principals. The results showed that the hedonism lifestyle has a significant impact on the dynamics of students' social relationships. Students who follow this lifestyle tend to form exclusive social groups based on economic status, which triggers feelings of injustice and jealousy among students. The hedonistic lifestyle distracts students from academic achievement and other positive activities, reduces the quality of more meaningful interpersonal relationships, and increases excessive consumptive behavior. The study also found that family economic conditions, the influence of social media, and the role of peers are the main factors that encourage the adoption of a hedonistic lifestyle among students. To overcome this negative impact, the study recommends improving character education programs in schools, the active role of parents in teaching wise economic values, as well as students' efforts in developing awareness of time management and priorities
