DISASTER RISK ANALYSIS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CEMARA KEMBAR BEACH COMMUNITY IN DISASTER MITIGATION EFFORTS

2025-03-12T09:52:29+07:00

Cemara Kembar Beach in North Sumatra faces significant natural disaster risks, including abrasion, erosion, flash floods, and the impacts of climate change. The area is directly exposed to the sea, which increases vulnerability. Public understanding of disaster mitigation is about 70%, based on informant data. This study aims to analyze disaster risks and public awareness of mitigation efforts. Conducted using qualitative methods in Sei Nagalawan Village, the research involved interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings highlight that coastal areas are highly susceptible to disasters due to natural and human factors. Coastal erosion, caused by continuous sea waves, threatens settlements, while tropical storms and strong winds often bring flash floods. Rising sea levels due to climate change and human activities, such as mangrove logging, exacerbate the region's vulnerability. Public awareness of environmental protection is still low, further increasing flood risks during heavy rainfall. The study concludes that the community faces significant risks, including abrasion and flash floods, worsened by environmental damage and climate change, particularly affecting local rice fields. Public awareness and disaster mitigation measures are insufficient, contributing to the region’s vulnerability. Strategies such as mangrove planting, environmental education, waste management, and early warning systems have been identified as vital for reducing disaster risks. Therefore, collaboration between the government and the community is essential to develop sustainable disaster risk mitigation programs and protect coastal ecosystems.

ISSUES WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW AGAINST DRUG USERS (Study of Decision Number): 214/Pid.Sus/2024/PN.Mdn)

2025-03-12T09:52:28+07:00

Because it can harm the nation's values, the government views the distribution and usage of drugs as one of the major national issues. Drug offenders frequently receive punishments based on court rulings that fall short of providing a sense of justice and legal clarity. Articles 114, 112, and 127 of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics are among the provisions that are frequently utilized to trap offenders in drug-related crimes. As a result of the articles' multiple interpretations, drug dealers and other criminals will pretend to be victims of drug-related crimes. that this will affect the imposition of short sentences, leading to unfairness in the process of implementation. The data and facts gathered by examining court rulings pertaining to criminal penalties against drug offenders and connecting them to relevant laws and regulations constitute the normative legal nature of this research, which is a method that describes or explains a fact in a methodical manner. According to the study's findings, this appears to be far more challenging in the realm of drug law enforcement. It appears that our law enforcement is ingrained in prioritizing criminal consequences. On a local, national, and worldwide scale, extraordinary encouragement is required. Regarding the case under investigation, the judge of the Medan District Court found the defendant legally and convincingly guilty in accordance with Article 112 paragraph (1) of Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

ANALYSIS OF BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION QUALITY THROUGH BUDGET ABSORPTION INDICATORS AT BKPM IN 2023

2025-04-24T10:34:23+07:00

The effectiveness of the budget implementation of a government agency is reflected in the absorption of the budget. This study examines the budget absorption indicators of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM for the year 2023 using the performance indicators for budget implementation derived from the PER-5 PB 2022 and 2024. With low absorption at the beginning of the year and a significant increase in the last quarter, the results of the analysis reveal anomalies in the absorption pattern, which suggest a slow pattern of backloading of expenditure. Internal management, budget reallocations that undermine the stability of planning and implementation, and policy and regulatory changes, such as mid-year budget changes, are the main sources of imbalance. The quality of budget implementation can be improved to promote efficiency, effectiveness, and optimization of the use of the budget following the principle of value for money in public finances. To overcome these problems, more realistic budget planning is needed, based on historical data and real needs. In addition, regular monitoring and evaluation mechanisms need to be reinforced to ensure consistency between budgetary targets and implementation in each quarter.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PBB-P2 AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE REGIONAL ORIGINAL REVENUE IN BANDUNG REGENCY

2025-04-24T10:34:11+07:00

The Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) is one of the main sources of Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in Bandung Regency. This study analyzes the effectiveness of PBB-P2 revenue and its contribution to PAD during the 2019-2023 period. The results of the analysis show that although the potential PBB-P2 revenue is high, the realization of revenue fluctuates, where in 2019-2021 the target was achieved, but decreased in 2022-2023. Factors such as taxpayer compliance, administrative systems, and local fiscal policies affect target achievement. The programs owned by the Bandung Regency Regional Revenue Agency have a positive impact on increasing taxpayer compliance, but are not optimal enough to increase revenue effectiveness. Overall, the contribution of PBB-P2 to PAD is still relatively low, ranging from 9%-11% annually. Therefore, a more comprehensive strategy is needed to optimize local tax revenue to increase its effectiveness and contribution to PAD.
