A total of 60% of children experienced an increase in scores, and all children who were initially in the Beginning to Develop (MB) category successfully improved to the Developing as Expected (BSH) or Developing Very Well (BSB) category, although the verbal reasoning indicator in the form of the ability to provide simple reasons did not show improvement. The conclusion of this study affirms that educational play tools in the form of flashcards and jumping games are effective as an innovative strategy for developing the affective and psychomotor aspects of early childhood moral character. The implications of this study indicate the need to strengthen reflective discussion sessions so that children’s cognitive-verbal abilities can develop more optimally.

Overconsumption dalam Influencer Culture di Media Sosial: Kajian Tafsir al-Azhar Karya Buya Hamka

Naila Royani, Abdul Rahman, Mustapa Mustapa — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Although studies on tabdzir in Tafsir Al-Azhar have received attention in several previous studies, discussions that specifically link it to the phenomenon of overconsumption in influencer culture on social media remain limited. This study aims to evaluate and describe overconsumption behavior through the contextualization of the concept of tabdzir in Q.S. Al-Isra’ verses 26–27 according to Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka. This study used a qualitative approach with a library research design. The data sources consisted of primary and secondary data collected through literature study, documentation, digital database searches, and review of scientific journals. Data were analyzed using a content analysis approach, while data validity was strengthened through source triangulation and theory triangulation. The results showed that in Tafsir Al-Azhar, tabdzir is rooted in the disorientation of wealth utilization to fulfill pseudo-inner satisfaction, not merely in the nominal amount of material wealth. These findings indicate that overconsumption in influencer culture represents a dual crisis of spirituality that has the potential to trigger ingratitude for blessings, neglect of the rights of the poor, and ecological damage. The conclusion of this study affirms that the ethical values of the Qur’an have contextual relevance as a moral compass as well as an instrument of solution-oriented criticism in navigating the complexity of today’s digital economic disruption. The implications of this study provide theoretical contributions to the development of contextual tafsir studies and Islamic consumption ethics, as well as open opportunities for further research on strategies to prevent the negative impacts of excessive consumption in digital spaces.

Konstruksi Kecerdasan Intelektual Peserta Didik Berdasarkan Perspektif Psikologi Islam: Kajian Fenomenologis terhadap Aktualisasi Potensi Akal

Nur Hasanah Harahapi, Alfi Rahmi — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:57:06 +0800

The construction of students’ intellectual intelligence has received attention in various previous studies; however, research that specifically discusses the actualization of the potential of reason from the perspective of Islamic psychology through a phenomenological approach remains limited. Most studies still define intellectual intelligence as a cognitive ability measured through academic achievement or Intelligence Quotient (IQ), and therefore have not provided a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the function of reason, spirituality, and character formation. This study aims to explore and analyze the construction of students’ intellectual intelligence from the perspective of Islamic psychology through the experience of actualizing the potential of reason. This study used a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological design, involving 15 student participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and reflective notes, and were then analyzed using phenomenological thematic analysis through the stages of coding, categorization, and theme interpretation. The findings show that intellectual intelligence from the perspective of Islamic psychology is constructed through five main dimensions, namely reason as a divine trust, the integration of rational thinking and spiritual awareness, self-reflection as a mechanism for intellectual strengthening, the actualization of intelligence through ethical behavior, and the influence of obstacles in optimizing the potential of reason. These findings contribute to the development of the concept of Islamic psychology by presenting a holistic model of intellectual intelligence and expanding understanding of the relationship among cognitive, spiritual, and moral dimensions in education. The conclusion of this study affirms the importance of integrating the function of reason and Islamic values in shaping students’ intelligence. The implications of this study include a theoretical contribution to the development of Islamic educational psychology and a practical reference for educational institutions in designing learning that integrates intellectual, spiritual, and character development. This study also opens opportunities for further research on the development of instruments for measuring intellectual intelligence based on Islamic psychology and their implementation at various levels of education.

Dinamika Motivasi Belajar Peserta Didik pada Era Digital: Analisis Psikologis Berdasarkan Teori Motivasi Kontemporer

Rika Sri Wahyuni, Alfi Rahmi — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:05:24 +0800

Students’ learning motivation in the digital era has become an important issue in educational psychology because changes in technology-based learning environments influence students’ engagement, independence, and self-regulation. Nevertheless, studies that integrate contemporary motivation theories to explain the dynamics of learning motivation in the context of digital learning remain limited. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of students’ learning motivation in the digital era through the perspective of educational psychology by examining the influence of digital learning environments, the interrelationship among motivational dimensions, and the need for adaptive learning strategies. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that learning motivation is influenced by the interaction among individual psychological factors, the characteristics of digital technology, and support from the social environment. Digital learning environments can increase learning flexibility and independence, but they also create distractions that may reduce motivation. In addition, autonomy, a sense of competence, social support, learning goal orientation, and self-regulation interact with one another in shaping students’ motivation. These findings affirm the importance of adaptive, interactive, and student-centered learning strategies to maintain learning motivation and engagement in digital learning. The conclusion of this study indicates that students’ learning motivation in the digital era is a multidimensional construct influenced simultaneously by psychological, technological, and social aspects. The implications of this study provide a theoretical contribution to the development of educational psychology studies through the integration of contemporary motivation theories, as well as a practical reference for educators and educational institutions in designing digital learning that is responsive to students’ needs.

Pembentukan Bakat dan Minat Peserta Didik melalui Lingkungan Keluarga: Studi Kasus dalam Perspektif Psikologi Perkembangan

Annisa Febriani, Alfi Rahmi — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:13:21 +0800

The formation of students’ talents and interests through the family environment has received attention in various studies in developmental psychology and education; however, studies that specifically explore the mechanisms through which both are formed through family interaction from the perspective of developmental psychology remain limited. This study aims to explore the role of the family environment in shaping students’ talents and interests and to identify the factors that support this developmental process. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 15 informants consisting of students, parents, and teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that family emotional support, parenting patterns that provide space for exploration, open communication, the provision of learning facilities, and collaboration between families and schools are the main factors supporting the development of students’ talents and interests. These findings also indicate that the quality of interaction within the family has a greater influence than material support alone in encouraging the actualization of children’s potential. The conclusion of this study affirms that the family environment plays a strategic role in shaping students’ talents and interests through emotional support, effective communication, and synergy with schools. The implications of this study provide a theoretical contribution to the development of studies in developmental psychology, as well as a practical reference for parents, teachers, and educational institutions in designing parenting patterns and collaborative programs that optimally support students’ development. Future research is recommended to examine this phenomenon through a mixed-methods approach or a longitudinal design in more diverse contexts.

The learning of kitab kuning is a distinctive feature of pesantren education that plays an important role in shaping students’ scholarly competence and understanding of Islamic jurisprudence. Although methods for learning kitab kuning have been widely studied, research that specifically discusses the learning of Fathul Mu’in and the obstacles to its implementation at Pondok Pesantren Asy-Syarif, Tilatang Kamang Subdistrict, Agam Regency, remains limited. This study aims to describe the learning methods of Fathul Mu’in and to identify the obstacles encountered in their implementation. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the head of the Islamic boarding school, the ustaz teaching Fathul Mu’in, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the learning of Fathul Mu’in is implemented through the sorogan, bandongan, and halaqah methods, which are applied integratively according to the characteristics of the material and the students’ abilities. The main obstacles identified include limited mastery of nahwu and sharaf, inadequate mastery of Arabic vocabulary, low participation among some students, limited learning time, and students’ fatigue due to the density of learning activities. The conclusion of this study affirms that the effectiveness of learning Fathul Mu’in strongly depends on the application of varied, contextual methods that are aligned with students’ abilities. The implications of this study provide a theoretical contribution to the development of studies on kitab kuning learning in pesantren, as well as a practical reference for pesantren administrators and ustaz in designing Islamic jurisprudence learning strategies that are more adaptive, participatory, and oriented toward strengthening students’ scholarly competence.

Analisis Nilai Moral dan Representasi Peran Gender dalam Cerita Rakyat Asal Usul Danau Lipan dari Kalimantan Timur

Bella Setyawati, Nurdin Nurdin — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 16:29:34 +0800

Folklore plays an important role as a means of transmitting moral values as well as a medium that reflects social constructions, including the representation of gender roles in society. This study aims to describe the moral values and representation of gender roles in the folklore “Asal Usul Danau Lipan”. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a content analysis approach. The research data were sourced from the story text in the book Kumpulan Cerita Rakyat Kutai by Anwar Soetoen et al. The data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques and then analyzed through the stages of data identification, classification, and description. The results showed that the folklore “Asal Usul Danau Lipan” contains moral values that encompass human relationships with oneself, fellow human beings, and God. In addition, the gender representation in the story shows male dominance, while women are portrayed as weak and dependent figures. Thus, this folklore not only contains moral values that are relevant to life but also reflects the gender constructions that develop in society. These findings imply the importance of a critical reading of folklore as material for literary studies, character education, and social reflection on gender relations.

Cindy Putri Khumairoh, Lince Magriasti — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 06:45:16 +0800

The supervision of the use of foreign workers (TKA) is an important instrument to ensure compliance with labor and immigration regulations. This issue emerged when 13 foreign workers from China were found allegedly working illegally at PT Gamindra Mitra Kusuma (GMK), West Pasaman Regency, thereby indicating that weaknesses remain in supervision, particularly in interagency coordination. This study aims to analyze collaborative supervision of the use of foreign workers in West Sumatra, identify challenges in supervising illegal foreign workers, and describe the efforts made to address these problems. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through interviews, documentation, and literature study, and were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that collaborative supervision of foreign workers in West Sumatra has been implemented through the Foreign Nationals Monitoring Team (TIMPORA), involving the Manpower and Transmigration Office of West Sumatra Province, the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for Labor Supervision Region II, the Agam Class I Non-TPI Immigration Office, and other relevant agencies. This collaboration is realized through coordination, information exchange, document examination, field supervision, and joint operations in accordance with the duties and authority of each agency. Based on Sondang P. Siagian’s theory of the supervision process, the stages of establishing work standards, measuring work results, and taking corrective action have been implemented, but the effectiveness of supervision has not been optimal because there are still differences in perspectives between labor and immigration supervision, miscommunication within TIMPORA, a limited number of supervisors, the broad scope of the supervision area, limited budget and operational facilities, and a lack of corporate transparency in reporting the use of foreign workers. The efforts undertaken include strengthening field supervision, providing guidance and socialization to companies, reinforcing coordination through TIMPORA, implementing integrated supervision, and optimizing the Aplikasi Pengawasan Orang Asing (APOA). The conclusion of this study affirms that the effectiveness of foreign worker supervision in West Sumatra is highly dependent on cross-agency collaboration that is coordinated, integrated, and supported by an adequate supervision information system. The implications of this study provide practical contributions to strengthening the governance of foreign worker supervision and preventing violations related to the illegal use of foreign workers at the regional level.

Farhan Habibi, Lince Magriasti — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 06:54:57 +0800

Although public communication strategies in social health insurance programs have received attention in various studies, research specifically discussing the communication patterns of first-level health facilities in encouraging community participation in the National Health Insurance Program (JKN) remains limited. This study aims to describe the public communication patterns implemented by Puskesmas Andalas in increasing community participation in the JKN Program and to identify obstacles and solutions in conveying information about the program. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving health center staff, BPJS Kesehatan representatives, and community members who were users and non-users of JKN. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that Puskesmas Andalas implemented integrated public communication patterns through primary face-to-face communication, secondary communication through print and digital media, group communication through health education activities, and two-way communication that provides space for the community to ask questions and submit complaints. These communication patterns contributed to an increase in new participant registration, membership reactivation, and utilization of the free BPJS program. However, their implementation still faced internal obstacles, including weak information coordination with BPJS Kesehatan and the absence of dedicated BPJS officers at the health center, as well as external obstacles, including low public understanding of JKN regulations, economic limitations related to family-based contribution obligations, and the digital divide in the use of social media. The conclusion of this study affirms that continuous, multichannel, and trust-based public communication is an important factor in expanding health coverage at the primary care level. The implications of this study include theoretical contributions to the development of public health communication studies and the application of diffusion of innovations theory, as well as practical implications for primary health institutions and policymakers through the strengthening of scheduled health education activities and the appointment of dedicated officers for JKN Communication, Information, and Education (CIE).

Violence against children remains a social problem that requires serious attention, including in South Solok Regency, although the local government has enacted Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Implementation of Child-Friendly Regency as an instrument for child protection. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Child-Friendly Regency policy in addressing violence against children in South Solok Regency. This study used a descriptive method with a qualitative approach through interview and documentation techniques. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation theory. The results show that the implementation of the Child-Friendly Regency policy in addressing violence against children has not been optimal. In the aspect of communication, policy socialization has been carried out, but it has not been consistent and has not been supported by the optimal use of information media. In the aspect of resources, there are still limitations in the number of human resources, the unavailability of child psychologists, and inadequate budget allocation. In the aspect of disposition, policy implementers have strong commitment, but community participation in preventing and reporting cases remains low. In the aspect of bureaucratic structure, cross-sectoral cooperation is already in place, but coordination among agencies has not been optimal. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the effectiveness of the implementation of the Child-Friendly Regency policy requires strengthening policy communication, improving resource capacity, enhancing community participation, and optimizing cross-sectoral coordination so that child protection in South Solok Regency can be implemented more effectively.

The availability of adequate parking facilities is an important factor in supporting the smooth operation of activities within higher education institutions, particularly in areas with high vehicle mobility, such as the Information and Library Center Building (GPIP) and the Graduate School (GSPs) of Universitas Negeri Padang. This study aims to analyze parking characteristics, parking space demand and availability, and formulate appropriate parking management for the research area. This study used a descriptive quantitative method with field survey techniques and direct observation. Data collection was conducted over three days, namely 14–16 April 2026, from 06:00 to 18:00 Western Indonesia Time, with data including the number of vehicles entering and leaving, parking duration, parking accumulation, parking volume, parking capacity, and the existing condition of parking facilities. The results show that the GPIP area has a high level of parking utilization, with a combined motorcycle parking index of 1.40 on Tuesday, 1.77 on Wednesday, and 1.34 on Thursday. The highest car parking index in the GSPs area reached 1.14. The highest parking demand occurred in the UNP Mart area, at 125 parking space units (SRP), while the available parking capacity in the GPIP area was 340 SRP and in the GSPs area was 21 SRP. The analysis results show that the main parking problem is caused by the uneven distribution of parking space use. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that optimizing parking facilities requires parking management based on the redistribution of vehicles to areas that still have available capacity. The practical implications of this study include the need for parking line arrangement, vehicle circulation management, signage installation, and improved parking supervision so that the utilization of parking facilities in the campus area can operate more effectively.

Implementasi Program Makan Bergizi Gratis pada Tingkat Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Padang Utara (Studi Kasus Sekolah Dasar Negeri 18 Air Tawar Selatan)

Melisa Diah, Zikri Alhadi — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 19:12:39 +0800

The Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) is a national priority policy mandated through Presidential Regulation Number 115 of 2025 to break the cycle of malnutrition among elementary school-aged children. Although supported by a substantial national budget and clearly defined targets, the success of the program is largely determined by how the policy is translated at the local implementation level. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the MBG Program at SDN 18 Air Tawar Selatan, Padang Utara Subdistrict, Padang City, using Merilee S. Grindle’s Policy Implementation Model as the main theory and Michael Lipsky’s Street-Level Bureaucracy theory as a micro-level analytical lens. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving 17 informants representing the government, school, food provider, parents, and students. The results revealed a significant gap between the normative policy design and operational realities. In the content of policy dimension, the problems included a mismatch between the menu and local preferences that systematically generated food waste, centralized decision-making, and limited implementation capacity. In the context of implementation dimension, power asymmetries among actors and vertically centralized institutional characteristics were identified. These problems were rooted in the failure of the feedback mechanism, or a broken feedback loop, whereby the field-level knowledge held by street-level bureaucrats was unable to drive improvements in policy design at the central level. This study concludes that the effective implementation of the MBG Program requires strengthened implementation capacity, improved logistics infrastructure, and limited decentralization in adapting menus to local conditions. These findings contribute to the development of public policy implementation studies by emphasizing the importance of feedback mechanisms and the involvement of street-level actors in improving nationwide programs.

Implementasi Kebijakan Kota Layak Anak (KLA) Klaster Perlindungan Khusus dalam Pencegahan Kekerasan Anak di Kota Padang

Salma Awalun Nissa, Jumiati — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 20:52:49 +0800

Violence against children remains a serious problem in the implementation of the Child-Friendly City (KLA) initiative, particularly within the Special Protection Cluster. Although the Padang City Government has implemented various programs and services to prevent violence against children, the incidence of such violence remains high and has even increased following the enactment of the Regional Regulation on KLA. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the KLA Policy for the Special Protection Cluster in preventing violence against children in Padang City and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation framework, which encompasses the dimensions of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results showed that policy communication had been conducted through school-based dissemination activities and outreach by Community-Based Integrated Child Protection (PATBM) cadres, but its coverage remained uneven. The availability of resources was still limited, particularly in terms of personnel and funding, whereas the disposition dimension indicated a high level of commitment among field-level implementers. In the bureaucratic structure dimension, interagency coordination through the KLA Task Force had been established, but its technical authority remained limited. Uneven policy communication, limited implementation resources, low public awareness, and a weak program evaluation system were the main factors hindering the effectiveness of efforts to prevent violence against children. This study concludes that the implementation of the KLA Policy for the Special Protection Cluster in Padang City has not yet been optimal. The findings emphasize the need to strengthen resource capacity, improve public literacy, expand the reach of policy communication, and develop an evaluation system based on measurable indicators to enhance the effectiveness of child protection.

Dina Kamelia Aribah, Sutiyah Sutiyah — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 09:46:54 +0800

The hosting of the Fourth Asian Games in 1962 was not only an international sporting event but also part of the Indonesian government’s efforts to build the country’s image through Lighthouse Politics during the Soekarno administration. This study aimed to analyze R. Maladi’s role in organizing the Fourth Asian Games and its relationship with the implementation of Lighthouse Politics. The study employed the historical method, comprising topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Primary sources included archives from the Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia, presidential decrees, organizing committee documents, contemporary newspapers and magazines, and the official report of the Fourth Asian Games, supported by relevant secondary literature. The findings showed that R. Maladi’s experience as an athlete, Chair of the Persatuan Sepak Bola Seluruh Indonesia, broadcaster, and government official shaped his capacity to coordinate the organization of the Fourth Asian Games. His administrative role encompassed Indonesia’s bid to host the Games, the refinement of the organizational structure of the Dewan Asian Games Indonesia, interinstitutional communication, press relations, and coordination with the Asian Games Federation. Meanwhile, his technical role included infrastructure development, athlete development, the provision of service facilities, the conduct of dress rehearsals, and event coordination. The Fourth Asian Games, held from August 24 to September 4, 1962, demonstrated Indonesia’s capability as the host through orderly ceremonies, systematic scheduling, and Indonesia’s success in ranking second in the medal standings. This success strengthened Indonesia’s international image and supported Soekarno’s Lighthouse Politics, although the issues involving Taiwan and Israel resulted in diplomatic consequences. This study confirms that R. Maladi played a strategic role in integrating administrative, technical, sporting, and political interests, thereby making the Fourth Asian Games an instrument of diplomacy and a representation of Indonesia’s ambitions during the Guided Democracy era.

Vocational high schools (SMKs) are designed to produce skilled graduates who are ready to enter the workforce. However, in Cilacap Regency, an industrial area, SMK graduates constitute the largest proportion of the openly unemployed population. This study aimed to explore the subjective experiences and challenges faced by SMK graduates during the job-search process and to describe the survival strategies they adopted. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Primary and secondary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving SMK graduate job seekers and representatives of the Cilacap Regency Department of Manpower and Industry. The findings showed that SMK graduates faced various barriers, including a technological gap between school practical facilities and industry requirements, limited soft-skills development, the withholding of graduation documents, the implementation of fixed-term employment agreements, limited access to job vacancy information, and the transformation of friendship networks into paid brokerage practices disguised as insider access. In response to these conditions, job seekers used social media to obtain information about job vacancies, independently pursued courses and certifications, and developed businesses, such as flower bouquet shops and mendoan enterprises. This study concludes that limited employment opportunities for SMK graduates need to be addressed by strengthening competencies aligned with industry requirements, improving soft skills, upgrading practical facilities, expanding access to employment information, and providing entrepreneurship training. These findings contribute to an understanding of SMK graduates’ transition into the workforce and can serve as a basis for schools, local governments, and industries in designing policies to improve graduates’ work readiness and economic independence.

Although access to the capital market has become increasingly convenient, students’ investment interest remains relatively low, while previous studies on the effects of investment knowledge, motivation, and minimum investment capital on investment interest have produced inconsistent findings. This study aimed to analyze the effects of investment knowledge, motivation, and minimum investment capital on students’ interest in investing in the capital market at Institut Teknologi Bisnis AAS Indonesia. The study employed a quantitative approach involving 89 respondents selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through partial hypothesis testing. The results showed that investment knowledge had no significant effect on students’ investment interest, with a significance value of 0.912 > 0.05 and a t-value of −0.111 < the critical t-value of 1.988. In contrast, motivation had a positive and significant effect on investment interest, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a t-value of 6.725 > the critical t-value of 1.988. Minimum investment capital also had a positive and significant effect on students’ investment interest, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a t-value of 7.888 > the critical t-value of 1.988. These findings confirm that motivation and capital affordability are the main factors encouraging students’ interest in investing, whereas investment knowledge that remains theoretical has not significantly increased their investment interest. This study implies the need to strengthen more practical investment education in higher education institutions and to provide programs that can enhance students’ motivation and practical experience in investing in the capital market.

The success of this program is strongly influenced by community participation at every stage of its implementation. However, the participation of members of the Sukses Bersama Farmer Group in Nagari Bawan has not been optimal because of economic and administrative constraints and limited technical understanding. This study aimed to analyse the forms of community participation and identify the factors that encouraged and hindered participation in the implementation of the PSR Program. The study employed a qualitative approach using a field research method. Informants were selected purposively and consisted of the head of the farmer group, farmer group members, and nagari officials. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and were subsequently analysed inductively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that community participation occurred at the planning, implementation, outcome utilization, and evaluation stages, but community involvement in decision-making remained low. Socialization played an important role in improving farmers’ understanding, although its implementation was not evenly distributed. Factors encouraging participation included trust in the farmer group, collaborative networks, and expectations of increased plantation yields. Meanwhile, factors hindering participation included economic constraints during the immature phase of the replanted trees, administrative obstacles, and concerns regarding income sustainability. This study confirms that improving the success of the PSR Program requires strengthened socialization, farmer group institutions, and continuous administrative assistance. These findings provide practical contributions for the nagari government, farmer groups, and relevant stakeholders in designing strategies to increase community participation in the implementation of smallholder plantation replanting programs.

Although the press holds an important position in the democratic order and has been widely studied, research specifically examining the role of the student press in providing political information within higher education institutions remains limited. This study aimed to analyse the role of Surat Kabar Kampus (SKK) Ganto as a Student Press Organization (LPM) and an information medium in the Student Executive Board General Election (Pemilu BEM) at Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP), as well as to identify the internal and external constraints encountered in performing this role. This study employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven categories of informants selected using purposive sampling combined with snowball sampling. The results showed that the role of SKK Ganto as an information medium in the Pemilu BEM had not been optimal. Of the three press functions examined, the information and educational functions had not been fully implemented, whereas the social control function had begun to be performed; however, SKK Ganto still tended to be less proactive in reporting issues related to the Pemilu BEM. The performance of this role also faced significant challenges originating from both within the organization and the external environment. These findings confirm that SKK Ganto needs to strengthen the implementation of its information, educational, and social control functions and conduct more comprehensive performance evaluations and organizational development. This study provides a practical contribution to strengthening the role of the student press as a medium of political information within the university environment and expands research on the student press, student organizations, and the dynamics of politics and democracy in higher education institutions.

Community participation is a determining factor in the success of climate change policies at the local level, but studies specifically examining the role of regional environmental agencies in building and sustaining such participation remain limited. This study aimed to analyse the role of the Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (DLH) Kota Padang in increasing community participation in the implementation of the Program Kampung Iklim (ProKlim), identify the constraints encountered, and describe the measures taken to address them. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Informants were selected purposively and consisted of DLH employees responsible for ProKlim, subdistrict or urban village officials, and administrators of community groups implementing ProKlim. A total of nine informants were drawn from four community groups with different levels of participation. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were subsequently analysed using an interactive model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was examined through source triangulation. The results showed that the DLH had performed its roles as a facilitator, dynamizer, and catalyst through location identification, socialization, guidance, facility provision, and motivation. However, the implementation of these roles was uneven because some groups received intensive guidance and support, whereas others were merely registered without further follow-up. The main constraints included low levels of community digital literacy, the substantial administrative burden associated with ProKlim assessment, and low environmental awareness in several locations. The DLH addressed these constraints through direct assistance with reporting, gradual data collection, continuous guidance, and the involvement of local figures and active groups as agents of change. This study confirms that equitable guidance, strengthened administrative assistance, and the involvement of local actors are necessary to increase community participation in the implementation of ProKlim. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the development of studies on community-based environmental governance as well as practical implications for the DLH Kota Padang and other regional environmental agencies in designing more equitable and sustainable guidance mechanisms. Future research may examine the effectiveness of ProKlim in achieving ecological, social, and economic outcomes across a broader geographical area.
