Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:39:31 +0700

Amidst global challenges, sustainable tourism has become a key strategy to support SDG Goal 8, namely decent work and economic growth. This study focuses on the revitalization of Surabaya's Old Town as a case study, which has successfully increased tourism and economic appeal. The objective is to examine the implementation of collaborative governance and the role of stakeholders in realizing sustainable tourism. The method used is a qualitative approach with phenomenology to explore the experiences of stakeholders. Data analysis is supported by ATLAS.ti 9 software, which facilitates coding, data comparison, and identification of complex relationships between factors. The results show that collaborative governance is an effective approach. Its implementation includes three main elements of Emerson's theoretical framework: principled engagement, shared motivation, and shared action capacity. Principled engagement is realized through open communication, collaboration between OPDs, and regular forums such as FGDs. Shared motivation is strengthened by trust, legitimacy, and commitment between parties, including academics involved in the preparation of the RTBL. Joint action capacity is demonstrated through the collaborative leadership of the Mayor of Surabaya and structured procedural arrangements. In conclusion, the implementation of collaborative governance contributes significantly to sustainable tourism development in line with SDG 8. This contribution includes an increase in tourist visits, local economic growth, job creation, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. This research proves that collaborative governance is an effective approach to realizing inclusive, productive, and sustainable tourism.

This study explores the impact of the Six Universities Initiative Japan-Indonesia (SUIJI) Program on sustainable development in rural South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The program aims to foster community-based social innovation through cross-cultural collaboration between Japanese and Indonesian students, who engage directly with local communities to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. The study uses a qualitative approach, including participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, to assess the program's impact in four locations: Barrang Lompo Island, Lakkang Island, Toraja, and Polewali Mandar. Key findings indicate that the program significantly improved agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, and community well-being through the introduction of organic farming techniques, sustainable fisheries practices, and improved education. Students participating in the program developed cross-cultural communication skills and practical experience in applying theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts. However, challenges related to cultural differences, language barriers, and limited infrastructure hindered the program's full potential. The study concludes that while the SUIJI Program had a positive impact on rural development, its long-term sustainability depends on stakeholder support and improved infrastructure. This study contributes to broader discussions on social innovation and sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of integrating global and local perspectives. Further research is needed to explore the long-term adaptability of communities to introduced innovations and the role of infrastructure in supporting sustainable development in rural areas.

The Effect of Financial Leverage on Earnings Per Share and Return on Equity

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:45:43 +0700

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial leverage on earnings per share (EPS) and return on equity (ROE) in the banking sector of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020-2024. Financial leverage is measured using the debt-to-equity ratio, while EPS and ROE are used as indicators of the company's financial performance. The research method used is quantitative with an ex post facto approach, utilizing secondary data obtained from annual financial reports for the 2020-2025 period. Data analysis was conducted using a simple linear regression test to measure the relationship and effect of financial leverage on EPS and ROE. The results show that financial leverage has a significant and negative effect on EPS in SOE banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This indicates that loan interest expenses erode net income per share, thereby reducing shareholder welfare, and that the debt financing structure is not offset by increased interest income or operational efficiency. Financial leverage does not have a significant and positive effect on ROE in SOE banking companies listed on the IDX, indicating that banking management is able to maintain equity profitability despite increases or decreases in leverage levels.

Digital technology is fast evolving, which has led to a change of cash payment to non-cash payment. A good example of this innovation that Bank Indonesia brought about is the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). The aim of the present study is to focus on the relationship linking between the perception of ease of use and the perception usefulness with consumer adoption of QRIS in Cafes Bento Mataram. The data were obtained through the questionnaire of the structured questionnaire that was distributed to the consumers of Café Bento Mataram. The respondents were 100 in number and they were chosen randomly. The obtained data were then analysed with the help of SPSS version 25. This analysis involved reliability and validity, classical assumptions tests, and parametric tests such as t -tests, F-tests and coefficient of determination (R) calculations, among various procedures of multiple regression. The findings reveal that the perceived ease of use has a positive and statistically significant effect on the decision to adopt QRIS with a t -statistic of 4.704, which is above the critical value of 1.661 (p = 0.000 0.05). Perceived usefulness also has positive significant value with t-statistic of 6.441 exceeding critical value of 1.661 (p=0.000<0.05). These results suggest that consumers who consider QRIS simpler and more advantageous have a higher tendency of using the system. The implications of the findings on the practical side of digital financial service providers are to improve the quality of services, their access, and benefits to the consumers to increase their acceptance of the use of QRIS.
