Trust, power, and Awareness as Determinants of Local Tax Compliance: The Moderating Role of Civic Pride in Lahat Regency, Indonesia

2026-10-03T05:24:42+00:00

Local Own-Source Revenue (Pendapatan Asli Daerah/PAD) is a key indicator of regional fiscal independence, yet most local governments in Indonesia remain highly dependent on intergovernmental transfers. In this context, improving local tax compliance is crucial, particularly in Lahat Regency, which relies heavily on Certain Goods and Services Tax (PBJT), Street Lighting Tax (PPJ), and Land and Building Rights Acquisition Duty (BPHTB). This study examines the influence of Trust in Authority, Power of Authority, Tax Morale, and Tax Awareness on local tax compliance, with Civic Pride as a moderating variable. Primary data were collected through an online Likert-scale questionnaire using Google Forms from 300 registered and active local taxpayers under the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Lahat Regency. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that trust in tax authorities, perceived power of authority, tax morale, and tax awareness significantly affect local tax compliance, while Civic Pride strengthens these relationships. The study contributes to the Slippery Slope Framework and Theory of Planned Behavior by incorporating Civic Pride as a contextual moderator and provides practical insights for designing trust-based and participatory local tax policies

Pengaruh Daya Tarik Wisata terhadap Kepuasan Pengunjung di Destinasi Wisata Nabawadatala

2026-10-03T05:21:55+00:00

This study examines the effect of tourist attraction on visitor satisfaction at the Nabawadatala tourist destination in Sumedang Regency. Tourism is a strategic sector for the national and regional economy, and tourist attraction is a key element determining a destination's competitiveness and visitor satisfaction. A research gap arises because most previous studies measure tourist attraction in aggregate without operationalizing rich indicators such as those in Avenzora's framework, and the local destination of Nabawadatala has rarely been examined specifically. This research therefore aims to analyze the influence of tourist attraction on visitor satisfaction. A quantitative approach was used, with primary data collected through a questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents selected by accidental sampling. The instrument used a Likert scale, and data were analyzed with SPSS through linear regression, the F-test, and the t-test. The results show that tourist attraction has a positive and significant effect on visitor satisfaction, with a t-value of 2.737 and a significance of 0.007. The correlation coefficient (R) of 0.266 indicates a low positive relationship, while the R Square of 0.071 shows that tourist attraction explains 7.1% of the variation in visitor satisfaction. The novelty of this study lies in applying tourist-attraction indicators to a local destination that has previously received little scholarly attention

Pengaruh Body Image terhadap Self-Esteem pada Remaja pengguna Instagram

2026-10-03T05:19:59+00:00

The rapid development of information technology has brought significant changes to adolescents' patterns of interaction and socialization. Globally, Instagram has become one of the most popular social media platforms among adolescents and young adults. The widespread use of Instagram not only affects communication patterns but also has significant psychological implications, particularly for Self-esteem. Within the context of social media, especially Instagram, the development of Self-esteem is closely related to how individuals perceive their bodies, commonly referred to as Body image. As a highly visual platform, Instagram continuously exposes users to idealized standards of beauty and body appearance, which may influence individuals' self-evaluation. This study aimed to examine the influence of Body image on Self-esteem among adolescent Instagram users.This study employed a quantitative research method with a descriptive approach. The participants consisted of 101 adolescent Instagram users selected using a non-probability sampling technique, specifically purposive sampling. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents demonstrated a moderate level of Self-esteem (66 respondents; 65.3%), while the majority also reported a moderate level of Body image (72 respondents; 71.3%). The results of the simple linear regression analysis indicated a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁). These findings indicate that Body image has a positive and statistically significant influence on Self-esteem among adolescent Instagram users. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.149, indicating that Body image accounted for 14.9% of the variance in Self-esteem, while the remaining 85.1% was explained by other factors beyond the scope of this study. Therefore, the more positive adolescents perceive their Body image, the higher their level of Self-esteem tends to be. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for adolescents, parents, educators, and mental health professionals in promoting Self-esteem through the development of a positive Body image while also considering other psychological and social factors that contribute to adolescent development.

Segment-Based DWDM Lightpath Monitoring Using an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System and Temporal Stabilization

2026-10-03T05:17:05+00:00

Optical protection switching on dynamic IS-IS and MPLS backbones can trigger adjacency resets, producing false positives and alarm flapping. This study designs a DWDM lightpath monitoring system using an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) as the alarm classifier, combined with a temporal stabilizer of debounce N=3 and hold-down H=3 to suppress false alarms. Data were collected through ICMP active probing from Customer Edge devices with strict path locking, yielding 736,764 samples from 34 lightpaths over 144 hours. The stabilizer reduced total alarm events from 6,333 to 2,313 (down 63.5%) and the false positive rate from 13.33 to 5.08 per hour (down 61.9%), with recall remaining high at 0.921 despite a decrease from 0.986 under raw conditions. The stabilizer effect was significant and consistent across the 34 segments (Wilcoxon signed-rank, p < 10⁻⁶). The system is proven to suppress false alarms without changing the total reported fault duration.

Peran Platform TikTok untuk Meningkatkan Popularitas Destinasi Wisata The Great Asia Africa Bandung

2026-10-03T05:13:22+00:00

Bandung is one of Indonesia's leading tourism cities, and The Great Asia Africa in Lembang is among its most distinctive thematic destinations. However, the destination experienced a decline in visitors of up to 30% during the 2024 holiday season, while its official TikTok account remained inconsistently managed despite its large potential audience. The research gap in this study is the limited empirical evidence on how far the role of the TikTok platform affects the popularity of this destination. This study aims to analyze the role of the TikTok platform in increasing the popularity of The Great Asia Africa Bandung. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 96 respondents selected through the Cochran formula, and data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS through validity, reliability, normality, t-test, F-test, and simple linear regression. The results showed that the role of the TikTok platform has a positive and significant effect on destination popularity (t = 2.123; F = 4.508; Sig. = 0.036), although its contribution is relatively small (R-Square = 4.6%). The novelty of this study lies in the empirical evidence that the effectiveness of TikTok as a destination promotion medium is strongly determined by the integration of digital and non-digital strategies.

2026-10-03T04:53:07+00:00

Visually impaired passengers require an assistive device that is safe and comfortabel when traveling on passenger ships. This study aims to develop SITOPIT (Smart Monitored Cane System), which is equipped with ultrasonic sensors, RFID, a panic button, audio warnings, and a monitoring system based on MQTT and Node-RED. The results showed that the system was successfully designed and implemented using an ESP32, Arduino Nano, ultrasonic sensors, RFID MFRC522, TCRT5000 line-tracking sensor, and DFPlayer Mini. Based on the testing results, all system features, including obstacle detection, location identification, directional guidance, panic button, and audio warnings, functioned properly. The test results showed that the ultrasonic sensor had an average error of 1.27%, while the INA219 had an average error of 0.05%. The RFID achieved a 100% success rate with a response time of 1–5 seconds, and the TCRT5000 also achieved a 100% success rate. The panic button and DFPlayer functioned properly. Testing in five ship areas achieved a 100% success rate, indicating that all SITOPIT features operated as designed. Therefore, it can be concluded that SITOPIT operated in accordance with the research objectives and is feasible for use.

The Interpersonal Communication and Psychological Safety in the Rehabilitation of Women Prisoners

2026-10-03T04:44:39+00:00

Women prisoners face psychosocial vulnerabilities, including trauma, stigma, emotional support needs, and histories of substance misuse, making sensitive interpersonal communication essential to rehabilitation. However, previous studies of correctional communication have largely focused on communication patterns, strategies, and barriers, with limited attention to the psychological mechanisms explaining prisoners’ willingness to communicate openly. This study aims to examine how correctional officers’ interpersonal communication contributes to psychological safety and supports the personality development and social reintegration of women prisoners. A narrative-integrative literature review was conducted using publications from 2020 to 2026 obtained from national journal portals, scientific databases, publisher websites, institutional repositories, and official regulatory sources. The analysis employed eleven dimensions of interpersonal communication and psychological safety as a thematic analytical framework. The findings indicate that empathetic, open, supportive, positive, consistent, and egalitarian communication strengthens trust and engagement. Psychological safety facilitates prisoners’ willingness to acknowledge mistakes, raise difficult issues, express disagreement, seek assistance, and participate in rehabilitation. The study’s novelty lies in proposing psychological safety as a conceptual mechanism linking interpersonal communication with rehabilitation engagement, personality development, and readiness for social reintegration, while integrating gender-responsive and trauma-informed perspectives.

2026-09-28T05:28:00+00:00

This article discusses judicial considerations in deciding a human trafficking crime committed through a marriage modus in West Kalimantan, based on Decision Number 400/Pid.Sus/2019/PN.Ktp of the Ketapang District Court. The issue examined is how the panel of judges considered the criminal act of assisting human trafficking through an overseas marriage scheme. This study uses legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The primary legal materials are Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons and Decision Number 400/Pid.Sus/2019/PN.Ktp, supported by secondary and tertiary legal materials. The research shows that the defendant was lawfully and convincingly proven to have assisted the crime of trafficking in persons as charged in the second alternative indictment, namely Article 10 in conjunction with Article 4 of Law Number 21 of 2007. The judges’ reasoning was based on juridical considerations, namely the fulfillment of the elements of the criminal act; philosophical considerations, namely justice and legal truth as reflected in the sentence; and sociological considerations, namely aggravating and mitigating circumstances as well as the social impact of the crime. Therefore, the judicial consideration in the decision is considered appropriate and fair according to law

Pelaksanaan Wasiat sebagai Surat Tanda Bukti sebagai Ahli Waris dalam Peralihan Hak Atas Tanah

2026-10-10T23:40:59+00:00

This research aims to analyze the use of will as a document serving as documentary evidence of heirship in the transfer of land right. Although there are significant functional differences, research examining the existence of a will as a document proving one’s status as an heir remains limited. The provisions of Article 111 paragraph (1) letter c of Permen ATR/Kepala BPN No. 16 of 2021 state that proof of inheritance can be in the form of a will from the deceased. However, wills and certificates of inheritance have different functions. This study examines the validity of a will as a documentary evidence of heirship in the transfer of land rights and analyzes related cases. The research method used is legal research utilizing statuary and conceptual approach. The results show that a will cannot replace a documentary evidence of heirship must exist in the transfer of land rights registration due to inheritance. The existence of a will does not invalidate a documentary evidence of heirship; however, the will may be included in the documentary evidence of heirship used for the registration of the transfer of land rights. The recommendation arising from this study is that legislators should not equate a will with a documentary evidence of heirship, as provided for in Article 111(1)(c) of Permen ATR/Kepala BPN No. 16 of 2021. Furthermore, legal guidance is required regarding the requirements that applicants must fulfil when transferring land rights by way of inheritance, in order to avoid confusion regarding the use of wills and certificates of inheritance

Model Prediktif Loyalitas Pengunjung Museum: Integrasi Narasi Digital, Endapan Kenangan, Respons Afektif, dan Pengalaman Imersif

2026-10-10T23:43:24+00:00

Digital transformation in Indonesian museums has not been accompanied by a deep understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying visitor loyalty, as success evaluation focuses on momentary satisfaction. This study aims to examine the mediating role of memory residue between digital narrative quality and museum visitor loyalty, with affective response and immersive experience as moderators. This explanatory quantitative study employed a two-wave longitudinal design with a fourteen-day interval, involving 192 visitors of Benteng Vredeburg Museum Yogyakarta analyzed using a variance-based structural equation model. Results show that digital narrative quality has no direct effect on loyalty, but exerts a significant effect through memory residue as a full mediator. Memory residue was the predominant driver of loyalty, while affective response and immersive experience did not moderate the relationship between digital narrative and memory residue. These findings confirm that digital narrative only impacts loyalty once transformed into meaningful memories among cultural heritage museum visitors.

Pengaruh Otomatisasi dan Digitalisasi terhadap Human Sustainability: Peran Mediasi Human Capital Readiness dan Moderasi Perceived Organizational Support

2026-10-10T23:44:24+00:00

Digital transformation in Rupiah currency management (PUR) encourages the implementation of automation and digitalization that changes not only work processes but also competency requirements and workforce sustainability. However, empirical research explaining the mechanism through which technological transformation contributes to Human Sustainability, particularly in central-bank Rupiah currency management, remains limited. This study examines the effects of automation and digitalization on Human Sustainability and investigates the mediating role of Human Capital Readiness (HCR) and the moderating role of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) among employees in the PUR area of Bank Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed involving 270 respondents from a population of 828 employees. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that automation and digitalization have positive but statistically insignificant direct effects on Human Sustainability. In contrast, HCR has a positive and significant effect on Human Sustainability and significantly mediates the effects of both automation and digitalization. POS does not significantly moderate the relationships between automation or digitalization and HCR, but it has a positive and significant direct effect on HCR. The findings indicate that technology acts as an enabler, while human capital readiness is the key mechanism translating technological transformation into human sustainability. The novelty lies in integrating technological transformation, human capital readiness, and organizational support in the specific context of Rupiah currency management within a central bank. Keyword: Automation, Digitalization, Human Capital Readiness, Perceived Organizational Support, Human Sustainability.

Struktur Ruang Kota Surakarta Berdasarkan Kecamatan Tahun 2025

2026-10-10T23:45:33+00:00

Spatial structure is an important aspect in understanding urban development patterns and the intensity of urban activities, as it reflects the relationship between the physical conditions of an area, movement networks, and the distribution of service functions. The utilization of spatial data is essential for identifying spatial structure because it can indicate the concentration and distribution patterns of urban elements in a more measurable manner. This study aims to analyze the spatial structure of Surakarta City by district in 2025 using a quantitative approach based on a Geographic Information System (GIS). The data used include spatial data on building density, road network density, and the distribution of facilities and infrastructure. These three datasets are used to represent the intensity of land use, the level of regional connectivity, and the concentration of urban functions and services. The analysis was conducted through several stages, namely Kernel Density to identify the concentration levels of each indicator, followed by scoring, overlay analysis, total score calculation, and classification into three classes based on the level of spatial structure. The results show differences in spatial structure levels among districts, which were subsequently used to determine the hierarchy of service centers in Surakarta City. Banjarsari District is classified as Hierarchy I, Serengan and Jebres Districts as Hierarchy II, and Pasar Kliwon and Laweyan Districts as Hierarchy III. No districts are classified as Hierarchy IV or V. These results indicate that the spatial structure of Surakarta City has varying levels of concentration among districts, with Banjarsari District having the highest level of spatial structure and concentration of urban elements. The integration of spatial data through GIS provides a quantitative representation of spatial structure and serves as a basis for understanding the hierarchical pattern of service centers in Surakarta City.

Kuasa Simbolik dan Asimetri Kekuasaan dalam Collaborative Governance Pengembangan Situs Wisata Religi Makam Sunan Gunung Jati di Kabupaten Cirebon

2026-10-10T23:46:29+00:00

The development of religious tourism involving cultural and sacred heritage sites is frequently constrained by conflicting stakeholder interests, turning collaborative spaces into imbalanced arenas of contestation. This study aims to analyze the manifestation of symbolic power held by traditional cultural authorities and identify the factors driving power asymmetry within the collaborative governance framework of the Sunan Gunung Jati Religious Tourism Site in Cirebon Regency. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through observations, document reviews, and in-depth interviews with 10 key informant groups selected via purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The findings reveal that the Kanoman Royal Palace dominates the core site area through the accumulation of cultural, social, and symbolic capital, while the Korem 063/SGJ controls the parking facilities and supporting infrastructure. This monopoly over vital physical and cultural assets degrades the local government's bargaining position from a primary facilitator to a mere subject of collaboration, while systematically marginalizing local communities and MSMEs. The novelty of this research highlights a reverse Asymmetric Hegemony, wherein traditional-cultural authorities successfully neutralize the formal regulatory powers of modern state bureaucracy through symbolic power and private land control, ultimately reducing the governance process to pseudo-collaboration.

Karakteristik Semen Segar Sapi Angus, Limousin, Simmental pada Berbagai Fase Pengamatan Sebelum dan sesudah Vaksinasi Penyakit Mulut dan Kuku

2026-10-10T23:48:27+00:00

Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a strategic contagious animal disease controlled through vaccination programs. This study aimed to analyze the effects of the observation phase (relative to the FMD vaccination period) and cattle breed, as well as the interaction between breed and observation phase, on the fresh semen quality of breeding bulls—specifically regarding sperm motility, sperm abnormality, sperm concentration, and semen volume. A quantitative method using a case study approach was employed. Three bulls per breed were used in the study. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the observation phase significantly affected sperm motility, sperm abnormality, and semen volume, but did not significantly affect sperm concentration. The cattle breed factor did not significantly affect any of the semen quality parameters. Interaction analysis revealed a significant interaction between breed and observation phase regarding sperm motility and semen volume, but not regarding sperm abnormality or sperm concentration. Bonferroni post-hoc test results indicated that changes in motility across phases were significant for Angus cattle but not for Limousin and Simmental cattle; conversely, changes in semen volume across phases were significant for Limousin cattle but not for Angus and Simmental cattle. The novelty of this study lies in the use of three cattle breeds—Angus, Simmental, and Limousin—and the longitudinal assessment of parameters such as sperm motility, semen volume, sperm abnormalities, and sperm concentration before and after Foot-and-Mouth Disease vaccination.

2026-10-11T17:47:06+00:00

This study is motivated by the importance of improving employee performance through training and competency supported by organizational commitment. However, studies integrating training and competency with organizational commitment as a mediating variable, particularly in manufacturing companies, remain limited. This study aims to analyze the effects of training and competency on employee performance through organizational commitment as a mediating variable at PT. Chitose Internasional Tbk. The study employed a quantitative explanatory approach involving 200 employees in the Production Division, with 135 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected throught a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling method. The result show that training and competency have positve effects on employee performance and organizational commitment. Organizational commitment also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, organizational commitment mediates the effect of training and competency on employee performance. The novelty of this study lies in examining organizational commitment as a mechanism linking training and competency to employee performance in a manufacturing company context.

2026-10-11T21:23:53+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and facility utilization on port operational performance through the implementation process of the ISPS Code at JICT Tanjung Priok. The study integrates the variables of service quality, facility utilization, ISPS Code implementation, and port operational performance, which have been discussed in previous related studies. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire distributed to 186 respondents involved in operational activities at JICT Tanjung Priok. This research employed a quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis technique with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of the study indicate that service quality and facility utilization have a positive and significant effect on both the ISPS Code implementation process and port operational performance. In addition, the ISPS Code implementation process was also proven to have a positive and significant effect on operational performance and to mediate the influence of service quality and facility utilization on port operational performance. The findings reveal that facility utilization has the most dominant influence on the implementation of the ISPS Code, while service quality plays an important role in supporting the effectiveness of port operations. The study concludes that improving service quality, optimizing facility utilization, and strengthening the implementation of the ISPS Code are essential factors in enhancing port operational performance effectively and sustainably. Therefore, port management is recommended to improve service quality, strengthen port security systems, optimize the use of operational facilities, and develop technology-based monitoring and coordination systems to support operational efficiency and port security.

Analisis Inovasi MEGNOTEK (Megilan Inovasi dan Teknologi) dalam Mendorong Daya Saing Sektor Publik di Kabupaten Lamongan

2026-10-14T16:50:30+00:00

In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which has been heading toward Society 5.0, digital development has been extremely massive, demanding every individual to continunously innovate in solving problems effectively and efficiently. This is also true in the public sector, where increasingly complex bureaucratic challenges urge every work unit, both at Central Government and Local Government levels to improve public services so that ultimately the competitiveness of the public sector becomes important in order for the welfare of society to be created. The Government of Lamongan Regency took the initiative to hold a competition titled MEGNOTEK (Megilan Inovasi dan Teknologi) since 2023 to improve the competitiveness of the public sector in innovating. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the direct impact of MEGNOTEK Innovation in encouraging public sector competitiveness, through a qualitative approach and secondary data. In addition, this research was conducted because studies concerning innovation in the form of innovation competitions, particularly in the public sector, are very rarely found. In the characteristics of New Public Management put forward by Christopher Hood (1991), MEGNOTEK Innovation has reflected the principle of “a shift to greater competition in the public sector”, in which New Public Management encourages of competition in the the public sector as a way to improve efficiency and innovation, the implication of which is open competition among Regional Apparatus Organizations, Academics, and the General Public to created inovations to public services.

Determinan Financial Distress pada Perusahaan Nonkeuangan yang Terindeks SRI-KEHATI Periode 2020-2024

2026-10-14T16:58:53+00:00

Financial distress represents a phase of declining financial health that is crucial to identify at an early stage to mitigate the risk of escalation toward corporate bankruptcy. This study aims to examine the impact of total asset turnover, firm size, operating cash flow, and price-to-book value (PBV) on the Altman Z″-Score as a proxy for financial distress among non-financial firms listed on the SRI-KEHATI index over the 2020–2024 period. Employing a quantitative approach utilizing secondary data, the research gathered a sample of 19 firms comprising 95 firm-year observations through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression via SPSS 27. The findings indicate that total asset turnover has no significant effect on the Z″-Score, whereas firm size and operating cash flow demonstrate a significant negative impact. Conversely, PBV exhibits a significant positive effect on the Z″-Score. Simultaneously, all four variables exert a statistically significant influence on the Z″-Score, yielding an Adjusted R-squared of 39.7%. The results further demonstrate that membership in a sustainability-oriented index does not automatically eliminate vulnerability to financial hardship. The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous examination of internal corporate factors and market signals within non-financial firms listed on the SRI-KEHATI index during the pandemic and economic recovery periods, without treating ESG as a research variable.

Implementation of the K-Means Algorithm to Cluster Levels of Violations by Islamic Boarding School Students in the Area of Ubudiyah

2026-10-15T21:26:00+00:00

Violations in the field of ubudiyah committed by students can affect the discipline building process within the Islamic boarding school environment. The large amount of stored violation data has not been optimally utilized to identify patterns of violations, so the discipline building process is still carried out in a general manner. This study aims to implement the K-Means algorithm to cluster the severity of religious discipline violations committed by students at the Annuqayah Lubangsa Putri Islamic Boarding School. The research method used is Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), which includes data cleaning, data transformation, normalization using the Min-Max method, determining the number of clusters using the Elbow method, the clustering process using the K-Means algorithm, and evaluation using the Silhouette Score. The dataset consists of 1,022 student records with 58 variables related to religious discipline violations. The results indicate that the optimal number of clusters is three (K=3). The clustering results yielded Cluster 0 with 983 students (96.18%), Cluster 1 with 14 students (1.37%), and Cluster 2 with 25 students (2.45%). The evaluation using the Silhouette Score yielded a value of 0.6491, indicating that the quality of the clustering falls into the good category. These findings demonstrate that the K-Means algorithm is capable of clustering data on student violations based on the similarity of characteristics, thereby providing a foundation for school administrators to develop more effective, objective, and data driven guidance strategies.
