The Role of the National and Political Unity Agency (Kesbangpol) in the Supervision of Islamic Community Organizations (CSOs) in Langkat Regency
Full text linkThis study analyzes the role of the National and Political Unity Agency (Kesbangpol) in the supervision of Islamic Community Organizations (CSOs) in Langkat Regency and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with the main informants from Kesbangpol, representatives of Islamic organizations, and related agencies. The results of the study show that Kesbangpol carries out supervision through coordination, coaching, monitoring activities, and political counseling. Supporting factors for supervision include clear regulations, conducive social conditions, and cooperation with Islamic organizations. However, several obstacles are still faced, such as limited human resources and budgets, lack of awareness of CSOs in administrative compliance, and overlapping authority with other agencies. To overcome these obstacles, Kesbangpol needs to increase human resource capacity, strengthen coordination across agencies, and educate CSOs to be more transparent and accountable. With a more effective strategy, supervision of Islamic organizations can run more optimally in maintaining social stability and strengthening national values.
TAHU SUMEDANG: Digital Public Service Implementation (A Studi at Regional Government of Sumedang Regency)
Full text linkDigital transformation in public service delivery has become a key strategy in promoting government efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the TAHU SUMEDANG digital public service portal in the Sumedang Regency and identify the challenges encountered in its application. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with 10 key informants, participatory observations, and document analysis of regional public service policies and reports from 2023. The findings reveal that the TAHU SUMEDANG portal has increased service speed by up to 40% compared to the pre-digitalization period and expanded public access to administrative services, with a 65% increase in active users over the past year. Furthermore, service transparency has improved through an online service tracking system accessed by more than 12,000 users. These findings align with previous studies by Nugroho (2021) and Pratama and Wahyudi (2022), demonstrating that adopting digital technologies in local public services can accelerate bureaucratic responsiveness and enhance citizen satisfaction. However, the implementation still faces significant challenges, including limited digital infrastructure in 23% of peripheral villages, low digital literacy, especially among older people, and resistance from 30% of government staff who are not yet accustomed to the digital system. Compared to similar programs such as "SIPANDA" in Banyuwangi Regency and "Jakarta Smart City," Sumedang still has room for improvement regarding data integration and service simplification. In conclusion, digitalization through the TAHU SUMEDANG portal has positively impacted the quality of public services, yet it requires further strengthening in infrastructure, digital literacy, and staff capacity. The results of this study are expected to serve as strategic input for local governments in formulating inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable digital public service policies.Digital transformation in public services has become a strategic step in enhancing the effectiveness and transparency of government administration. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the TAHU SUMEDANG digital public service portal in Sumedang Regency and identify the challenges faced in its application. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis.
The findings indicate that the TAHU SUMEDANG portal has improved public service efficiency by accelerating administrative processes and increasing accessibility for the public. Users experience convenience in obtaining services without the need to visit government offices in person. Additionally, service transparency has improved through the provision of real-time information and a service status tracking system. However, this study also identifies several challenges in the portal’s implementation, such as limited digital infrastructure in remote areas, low digital literacy among the public, and resistance from government employees to system changes.
This research confirms that digitalizing public services through the TAHU SUMEDANG portal provides significant benefits in enhancing the quality of local government services. However, to ensure its effectiveness, further efforts are needed in strengthening technological infrastructure, improving public digital literacy, and providing training for government employees. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for recommendations to local governments in optimizing the implementation of digital-based public services to enhance service quality for the community
ANALISIS KEBIJAKAN EKONOMI DAN POLITIK INDUSTRI EKSPOR MINYAK KELAPA DI INDONESIA
No full textThe palm oil industry is a strategic sector in the Indonesian economy that plays a major role in foreign exchange earnings, job creation, and rural development. This study aims to analyze the impact of economic and political policies on the performance of Indonesia's palm oil export industry, focusing on the dynamics of regulation, incentives, exchange rates, as well as diplomatic relations and political stability. The method used is descriptive-analytical qualitative with a literature review approach and content analysis of various policy documents, scientific publications, and national statistical data. The results of the study indicate that export quota policies, fiscal incentives, and bilateral/multilateral trade agreements have a significant impact on the volume of exports and the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil. Domestic political stability and international relations also determine the success of policies and the attractiveness of foreign investment. Considering environmental pressures and global sustainability demands, this study recommends the formulation of export policies that strike a better balance between economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability.Studi ini mengkaji dinamika kebijakan ekonomi dan industri yang mempengaruhi sektor ekspor minyak kelapa Indonesia.

Analysis of Public Sentiment towards the Implementation of Pancasila Legal Philosophy in Indonesian International Diplomacy on Social Media
No full textThis study evaluates Indonesian public perceptions of the application of Pancasila Legal Philosophy in international diplomacy through sentiment analysis on Twitter. Using text mining and machine learning algorithms—Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest—1,000 tweets containing keywords such as “Pancasila diplomacy,” “Indonesia at the UN,” and “Indonesian foreign policy” were collected and classified into positive, negative, and neutral categories. The distribution of sentiment indicates that 60% of tweets express positive perceptions, highlighting pride in Indonesia’s promotion of Pancasila values in global forums, 25% remain neutral, and 15% are negative, reflecting criticism of perceived inconsistencies between Pancasila and diplomatic practice. Model evaluation employed a confusion matrix and metrics of accuracy, precision, and recall across sentiment classes. Results demonstrate that Random Forest outperformed other models with 91% accuracy, stable precision, and recall across all classes. By comparison, SVM achieved 89% accuracy with consistent performance in high-dimensional text data, while Naïve Bayes recorded 85% accuracy but was less effective in handling class imbalance, particularly in neutral–negative distinctions. The Random Forest model explained the greatest variance in sentiment classification, confirming its strength in processing short and contextually complex texts such as tweets. Practically, these findings provide a foundation for developing a real-time sentiment monitoring system to support adaptive and participatory diplomacy. Integrating sentiment analysis into policy design enables the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to anticipate public responses, strengthen diplomacy narratives rooted in Pancasila values, and build a data-driven ecosystem for public diplomacy. This contributes to inclusive, ethical, and responsive foreign policy aligned with Indonesia’s state philosophy.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi persepsi masyarakat Indonesia terhadap penerapan nilai-nilai Filsafat Hukum Pancasila dalam praktik diplomasi internasional, khususnya melalui analisis sentimen di media sosial Twitter. Melalui pendekatan text mining dan analisis sentimen berbasis algoritma Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes, dan Random Forest, penelitian ini mengumpulkan data tweet dengan kata kunci seperti “diplomasi Pancasila”, “Indonesia di PBB”, dan “politik luar negeri RI”. Data diklasifikasikan dalam kategori positif, negatif, dan netral. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Berikut kesimpulan singkat sepanjang ±200 kata berdasarkan narasi yang Anda berikan: Evaluasi model klasifikasi sentimen publik terhadap implementasi Filsafat Hukum Pancasila dalam diplomasi internasional Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa Random Forest memberikan performa terbaik dengan akurasi 91%, presisi, dan recall yang konsisten di seluruh kelas sentimen. Model ini unggul dalam mengidentifikasi opini publik secara tepat di media sosial, dibandingkan Naïve Bayes yang lebih sensitif terhadap ketidakseimbangan data, serta SVM yang performanya stabil namun masih di bawah Random Forest. Hasil ini menegaskan keunggulan Random Forest dalam pengolahan teks pendek dan opini publik, yang dapat menjadi dasar pengembangan sistem pemantauan sentimen real-time berbasis machine learning untuk mendukung kebijakan diplomasi yang adaptif dan responsif. Integrasi analisis sentimen ke dalam proses perumusan strategi diplomasi memungkinkan pemerintah merespons dinamika opini publik secara cepat dan tepat, sejalan dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila. Lebih lanjut, penguatan diplomasi publik berbasis nilai-nilai Pancasila dan pembangunan ekosistem data-driven diplomacy menjadi langkah strategis penting. Kolaborasi lintas sektor dan penyusunan pedoman etika komunikasi digital juga diperlukan untuk menjaga konsistensi dan integritas narasi diplomasi Indonesia di kancah internasional. Dengan demikian, penerapan teknologi klasifikasi sentimen membuka peluang bagi kebijakan luar negeri yang lebih inklusif, etis, dan berlandaskan filosofi bangsa
PERUBAHAN PRESEPSI MASYARAKAT TERHADAP GUS MUDLOR SEBAGAI PEMIMPIN BERBASIS AGAMA DI SIDOARJO
No full textThis study examines the shifting dynamics of public perception toward Ahmad Muhdlor Ali (Gus Mudlor) as a religion-based leader in Sidoarjo Regency. Initially celebrated as a progressive young leader with strong pesantren credentials, Gus Mudlor gained public legitimacy through his religious background and symbolic identity. However, this perception changed significantly following his involvement in a corruption scandal, which raised questions about the sustainability of religion-based legitimacy in local politics. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation with respondents from two generational groups. The findings reveal that religion provided powerful symbolic capital for electoral success, but legitimacy quickly declined when issues of accountability and governance emerged. Older respondents tended to frame their disappointment through moral-religious narratives, while younger respondents emphasized performance and transparency as the basis for trust. These results highlight that public trust is fluid, continuously negotiated between symbolic identity and practical governance. The study contributes to debates on political legitimacy in Indonesia by showing the conditional nature of religion-based leadership. Limitations include the relatively small number of respondents and the single-case focus. Future research should expand comparative cases and respondent diversity to provide broader insights into the relationship between religion, leadership, and public trust
Analisis Beban Kerja Tenaga Harian Lepas Pelayanan Persampahan/ Kebersihan Dan Pelayanan Pertamanan Di Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Langkat
No full textThis study aims to analyze the workload of daily workers in waste management/cleaning and landscaping services at the Environmental Office of Langkat Regency. Daily workers play a crucial role in maintaining environmental cleanliness and aesthetics, yet face challenges such as heavy workloads, limited human resources, and inadequate equipment. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct field observations. The results indicate that the heavy workload is due to the large volume of tasks, uneven work distribution, and lack of attention to workers' welfare, leading to physical exhaustion and mental stress. The study recommends increasing workforce capacity, improving facilities, and reviewing workload management policies to enhance efficiency, improve the welfare of daily workers, and optimize service delivery.Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis beban kerja tenaga harian lepas pada pelayanan persampahan/kebersihan dan pertamanan di Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Langkat. Tenaga harian lepas berperan penting menjaga kebersihan dan keindahan lingkungan, namun mereka menghadapi tantangan berupa beban kerja tinggi, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia, dan minimnya peralatan memadai. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi langsung di lapangan. Hasil menunjukkan beban kerja berat disebabkan volume tugas besar, pembagian kerja tidak merata, dan kurangnya perhatian terhadap kesejahteraan pekerja, yang memicu kelelahan fisik dan stres mental. Penelitian merekomendasikan penambahan tenaga kerja, perbaikan fasilitas, dan peninjauan kebijakan pengelolaan kerja guna meningkatkan efisiensi, kesejahteraan tenaga harian lepas, serta optimalisasi pelayanan
POLITIK KANDIDASI CALON KEPALA DAERAH DI PARTAI POLITIK
No full textPolitical recruitment within the Party can be less transparent. The recruitment process sometimes does not pay attention to the quality of the candidates. This study aims to analyze political recruitment related to the quality of candidates in the 2017 Regional Elections in Tasikmalaya City. The theory used in this study is the candidate quality theory (Jacobson & Kernell, 2006). This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, document studies, and literature studies. The informants in this study are PAN elites and cadres in TasikmalayaCity, DPW/DPP PAN cadres, and political observers in Tasikmalaya City. The study results explain that PAN deputy mayor candidates have low candidate quality. The findings in this study explain that PAN recruits candidates for mayor and deputy mayor of Tasikmalaya differently. The candidate for mayor of Tasikmalaya from PAN is recruited based on the quality of suitable candidates, while the candidate for deputy mayor is recruited due to financial strength. The difference was made because the candidate's considerable financial strength affected the party leadership. This resulted in the split support of party cadres in the regional elections. Seeing such problems, a transparent and merit-based recruitment process is needed. This research further strengthens the idea that the political recruitment process dramatically affects the internal dynamics of political parties. Rekrutmen politik adalah "taman rahasia" di dalam partai, proses rekrutmen terkadang tidak memperhatikan kualitas kandidat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis rekrutmen politik dari segi kualitas kandidat dalam Pilkada 2017 di Kota Tasikmalaya. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori kualitas kandidat (Jacobson dan Kernell, 2006). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi fenomenologis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, studi dokumen, dan studi pustaka. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah elit dan kader PAN di Kota Tasikmalaya, kader DPW/DPP PAN, dan pengamat politik di Kota Tasikmalaya. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa calon wakil walikota PAN memiliki kualitas calon yang rendah. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa PAN merekrut dengan pola asimetris untuk calon walikota dan wakil walikota di Tasikmalaya. Pola asimetris dilakukan karena tekanan dari pimpinan partai yang dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan finansial kandidat yang besar. Temuan lainnya adalah dampak penerapan pola asimetris dalam rekrutmen oleh partai politik adalah pembagian dukungan kader partai dalam pilkad.  
Communication Gap and Public Perception: A Case Study of Smart City Implementation in Banjarmasin
Full text linkBanjarmasin City was named one of Indonesia's top 20 Smart Cities in 2023. However, this achievement contrasts with the poor functionality and limited usability of the super apps developed by the city government. This study analyzes how the Banjarmasin City Government communicates the success of its Smart City program and explores why many citizens remain dissatisfied with the digital services provided. Drawing on Ulber Silalahi's theory of government communication, the research reveals a significant gap between public expectations and the actual implementation of Smart City initiatives. While the government has tried to improve its services, it lacks a thorough mechanism for collecting citizen feedback. Moreover, the absence of collaboration with the private sector in developing and managing the super apps further hinders progress. The findings suggest that more inclusive communication strategies and stakeholder engagement are needed to align the city's Smart City vision with the experiences of its residents
Analisis Two-Level Games Theory: Respons Indonesia terhadap Konflik Dagang Crude Palm Oil dengan Uni Eropa
No full textThe trade conflict between Indonesia and the European Union over CPO arose due to the RED II and EUDR policies, which were deemed discriminatory and potentially harmful to various parties, particularly domestic parties. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's strategy in responding to the conflict by applying Robert D. Putnam's Two-Level Games theory. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through literature review by examining various written sources that will be validated. The study results show that Indonesia has implemented strategies simultaneously at Level I through international diplomacy and at Level II through the unification of domestic actors and interests. The results indicate that among all the strategies implemented, filing a complaint with the WTO proved to be the most effective step, resulting in a victory for Indonesia. The conclusion of the research indicates that Indonesia's success is not only determined by strategies in the international arena but also by domestic pressure and support. Theoretically, this finding reinforces the understanding of how domestic factors influence foreign policy, while practically, the research suggests that the government should strengthen domestic partnerships and promote joint diplomacy with other countries in facing global trade challenges.Penelitian ini berfokus menganalisa respon konflik dagang pada komoditas CPO antara Indonesia dengan Uni Eropa dalam pendekatan Two-Level Game Theory. Konflik ini berakar dari parlemen UE yang mengeluarkan regulasi RED II sebagai turunan dari RED pertama yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi ketergantungan impor produk biofuel dengan membatasi ekspor kelapa sawit Indonesia sebagai bentuk upaya mewujudkan perubahan iklim. Metode penelitian yang diaplikasikan pada penelitian ini ialah desktriptif kualitatif dan metode pengambilan data yang diterapkan yakni studi pustaka dengan mengumpulkan berbagai referensi dari bahan literatur seperti buku, jurnal, media berita, dokumen undang-undang negara, website resmi kementerian, serta lembar pernyataan pers dari kementerian yang kredibel. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori Two-Level Games ini, penulis berupaya menganalisa respon serta strategi Indonesia dalam menghadapi konflik dengan mengidentifikasi dinamika interaksi serta kepentingan para aktor pada level internasional dan level domestik dalam negosiasi internasional. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dalam menghadapi suatu konflik, para pemangku kepentingan negara dapat melakukan upaya diplomatik dengan mengacu pada konsep negosiasi internasional dalam Two-Level Games Theory untuk mencapai hasil yang disepakati bersama dengan memperhatikan serta menyeimbangkan beberapa kepentingan para aktor di masing-masing tingkatan atau level
The Role of the Pamong Praja Police Unit in the Control of Street Vendors (PKL) in Stabat District, Langkat Regency
Full text linkControlling street vendors (PKL) in Stabat District, Langkat Regency, is a crucial responsibility of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) to ensure public order and maintain urban aesthetics. However, implementing this regulation is not without challenges, as it involves resistance from street vendors, limited relocation spaces, and socio-economic concerns that affect their livelihoods. This study aims to analyze the performance of Satpol PP in controlling street vendors and identify the factors influencing the success or failure of these efforts. A descriptive research approach was adopted, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis as data collection methods. Data were gathered through interviews with government officials, community leaders, and street vendors in Stabat District. The findings indicate that while Satpol PP has carried out its duties effectively, certain obstacles persist. Beyond enforcing regulations, Satpol PP also plays a role in providing guidance and counseling to street vendors, ensuring they understand legal provisions. Additionally, the unit collaborates with relevant agencies and local communities to implement orderly street vendor management. Nevertheless, enforcement efforts continue to face resistance from vendors, insufficient relocation facilities, and a lack of legal awareness among traders. Many street vendors struggle to adapt to new locations due to accessibility concerns, impacting their ability to sustain their businesses. These findings highlight the need for a more integrated approach in street vendor regulation, balancing law enforcement with economic and social considerations
