PERAN INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION (ILO) DALAM MENANGANI EKSPLOITASI PEKERJA ANAK DI PERTAMBANGAN KOBALT REPUBLIK DEMOKRATIK KONGO 2018-2024
Child labor exploitation in cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) represents a global paradox where the green energy transition in developed countries depends on supply chains supported by the exploitation of up to 40,000 children in hazardous conditions. Extreme poverty reaches 72.9% of the population, weak law enforcement, and the absence of state protection functions make the DRC case the most severe in the world, opening space for intervention by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as an international actor with a specific employment mandate. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach and is grounded in the international organization theory of Barnett and Finnemore, which positions the ILO as an autonomous actor with normative and epistemic power, complemented by a constructivist perspective to understand the process of socialization of norms prohibiting child labor. Through this framework, the ILO is analyzed based on three main functions: creating and disseminating global norms, overseeing state compliance through technical oversight mechanisms, and filling institutional gaps through the COTECCO and GALAB programs. The findings show that the ILO successfully transformed the discourse on child labor from a family economic issue to a serious human rights violation through harmonizing national law with Conventions No. 138 and No. 182. The ILO developed the Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS), withdrew 1,527 children from mines, prevented 6,464 children from entering child labor, and strengthened government institutional capacity and family economic support. Effectiveness has been qualitatively proven in improving child protection conditions in intervention areas, although limited by political instability, weak law enforcement, and the complexity of global cobalt supply chains. Keywords: International Labour Organization, International Organization, Child Labor, Cobalt Mining, Democratic Republic of The Congo

SIKAP DONALD TRUMP DALAM UPAYA MENORMALISASIKAN HUBUNGAN ISRAEL DAN UNI EMIRATES ARAB PADA ABRAHAM ACCORDS 2020
The idiosyncratic character of Donald Trump significantly influenced his attitudes and policy choices during the process of normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Prior to the agreement, relations between the two states were marked by political tension, as the UAE was part of the Arab League boycott of Israel. However, shared national interests and common threats encouraged the emergence of discreet diplomatic interactions. The Trump administration seized this opportunity by promoting normalization through the Abraham Accords as part of the United States’ broader Middle East foreign policy. Amid domestic pressure including public unrest related to the COVID-19 crisis and driven by Trump’s campaign promises to broker peace in the Middle East and strengthen Israel’s international standing, the Abraham Accords became a vehicle through which Trump sought to improve his political image and present himself as an architect of regional peace. The findings indicate that Trump’s behavior throughout the normalization process between Israel and the United Arab Emirates under the 2020 Abraham Accords reflects three key leadership traits. Ego-Ambition as he sought to restore his political image and secure a major Middle East agreement. Goal Oriented demonstrated by his selection of a team whose views aligned with his objectives, and Crusader Expansionist marked by his assertive and sometimes coercive approach in pushing Arab states to normalize relations with Israel. Keywords: United States Foreign Policy, AIPAC, Evangelical Christian Groups, Political Lobbying Groups, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
SIKAP PRESIDEN RODRIGO DUTERTE ATAS PUTUSAN PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION (PCA) TENTANG SENGKETA LAUT CHINA SELATAN ANTARA FILIPINA DAN TIONGKOK
This research analyzes the stance of the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte on the arbitral award of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) that ruled in favour of the Philippines over China in 2016, based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The main issue of this research is about why Duterte refused to implement the PCA arbitral award on the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China, relations between Duterte's government with countries and regional organizations that have interests in the South China Sea, and its implications for the dispute in the region. Results of this research find that the personality and political style of Duterte have a significant influence on his stance to the PCA arbitral award on the South China Sea dispute. Emotional beliefs and his pragmatic stance made Duterte cultivate an accommodating relationship to the economic interests of China to gain economic benefits for the Philippines. Duterte's personality and political style enable him to change his stance on the PCA award and China when the benefits of the cooperation did not deliver as expected. Hence, this research underscores that individual factors play a significant role in shaping the foreign policy of Duterte to the PCA arbitral award on the South China Sea dispute with China. Keywords: Rodrigo Duterte, PCA, South China Sea, UNCLOS

UPAYA RAINFOREST RESOURCE AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE (RRDC)DALAM MENANGANI DEFORESTASI HUTAN DI CROSS RIVER NIGERIA
Nigeria possesses tropical forests that have undergone extensive deforestation, particularly in the Cross River region. The palm oil industry has displaced forests that hold vital significance for the global environment. Efforts to address the resulting impacts have prompted the involvement of the Rainforest Resource and Development Centre (RRDC) to mitigate the issue. The initiatives undertaken by RRDC in combating forest deforestation in Cross River are discussed in detail in this study. This research employs a qualitative approach based on secondary data, using document analysis from books, national and international journals, official reports of international institutions, and news articles. The analysis of the NGO’s role refers to John McCormick’s theoretical perspective. The findings reveal that RRDC’s strategies include collaborating with elected officials, bureaucrats, and corporate employees; conducting campaigns and organizing public protests; enhancing media engagement and environmental awareness; and pursuing litigation as well as monitoring the enforcement of environmental laws. Overall, this study highlights the significant role of local NGOs in promoting environmental justice and governance, particularly in efforts to reduce corporate-driven deforestation in developing countries such as Nigeria.

IMPLEMENTASI CONVENTION ON THE ELIMINATION OF ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN (CEDAW) DALAM KASUS EKSPLOITASI SEKSUAL DIGITAL: STUDI KASUS NTH ROOM DI KOREA SELATAN
This study analyzes South Korea's implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in handling cases of digital sexual exploitation, with a focus on the Nth Room case study. South Korea ratified CEDAW in 1984 and has adopted a number of regulations such as the Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes and cybercrime policies. However, the findings of this study indicate a gap between normative commitments and their implementation. The main obstacles are weak law enforcement, regulatory delays in responding to developments in digital technology, and institutional bias and patriarchal culture that still influence the treatment of victims. This research was conducted through document analysis, CEDAW Committee reports, legislation, and the Nth Room case study. It was found that the effectiveness of South Korea's policies is partial, in that there has been progress in terms of legislation and public awareness, but this has not been accompanied by the technical capacity building, inter-agency coordination, and social transformation required by CEDAW. This study result emphasizes the need to strengthen the digital legal framework, increase the accountability of technology platforms, empower civil society to realize comprehensive protection of women's rights and manifest the CEDAW’s principals within the CEDAW Committees recommendation for South Korea. Keywords: CEDAW, digital sexual exploitation, South Korea, Nth Room, gender policy.

This study aims to examine the effects of AUKUS on threat perceptions, the responses of Southeast Asian countries, and regional security tensions. It employs a qualitative descriptive approach using secondary data from books, academic journals, policy reports, official government documents, and statements by state actors. The analysis is grounded in Regional Security Complex Theory and a constructivist perspective. The findings indicate that AUKUS strengthens Australia’s defense capabilities while heightening China’s threat perceptions and generating fragmented responses among ASEAN states, thereby increasing the complexity and sensitivity of security dynamics in the South China Sea. Keywords: AUKUS, South China Sea, Security Tensions, ASEAN.

It employed a descriptive qualitative method using secondary data from official BP2MI documents, government policies, GCM documents related to women’s protection, as well as academic sources and online media. The findings showed that BP2MI had undertaken various strategic measures, including gender-based protection during pre-departure, placement, and post-placement phases, the strengthening of integrated services, and inter-agency coordination. However, field implementation still faced obstacles related to resources and cross-sector coordination. Keywords: BP2MI, women migrant workers, protection, Global Compact for Migration, GCM, migration policy.
GASTRODIPLOMASI THAILAND MELALUI PROGRAM KITCHEN OF THE WORLD DI AMERIKA SERIKAT 2021-2023
This study examines Thailand’s gastrodiplomacy strategy through the Kitchen of the World program in the United States during the 2021–2023 period. Gastrodiplomacy is a form of public diplomacy that utilizes cuisine as an instrument of soft power to build national image and expand cultural influence. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods by analyzing academic books, scholarly journals, official government documents of Thailand, and relevant online sources. The analytical framework is based on soft power theory, the concept of gastrodiplomacy, and nation branding. The findings indicate that Thailand has systematically implemented gastrodiplomacy through several integrated strategies, including culinary campaigns via the Thai SELECT certification, the organization of food-related events, product marketing strategies, coalition-building with the Thai diaspora and private sector, and extensive use of media for cultural promotion. The United States was selected as a strategic target due to its multicultural society and high demand for ethnic cuisine. The implementation of the Kitchen of the World program has contributed to enhancing Thailand’s positive national image, expanding the global network of Thai restaurants, and increasing the export of Thai food products to the United States. This study concludes that gastrodiplomacy through the Kitchen of the World program serves as an effective soft power instrument in advancing Thailand’s national interests and strengthening bilateral relations between Thailand and the United States. Keywords: Gastrodiplomacy; Kitchen of the World; Soft Power; Thai SELECT, Thailand, United States.

The analysis is based on the theory of governmental legal actions proposed by Prof. Aminuddin Ilmar, which classifies legal actions into public legal actions and private legal actions. The results indicate that the Dumai City Government has implemented various public legal actions, including the formulation of regional regulations, issuance of decisions and policies related to flood management, and the implementation of the Khidmat Flood Management Program through the development of flood control infrastructure such as embankments, floodgates, and drainage systems, as well as private legal actions through cooperation agreements with third parties in carrying out technical activities in the field. Based on the findings, these governmental actions demonstrate the application of principles of governmental law in managing coastal disasters aimed at protecting the community from the impacts of tidal flooding. Keywords : Dumai City Government, Legal Actions, Tidal Flood (Rob)
IMPLEMENTASI PELAYANAN PUBLIK DI KANTOR WILAYAH KEMENTERIAN HUKUM PROVINSI RIAU TAHUN 2024
This study discusses the implementation of public services at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Riau Province, which includes the availability, management, maintenance, and obstacles in providing legal services and correctional services. The conceptual framework of this research is built on the assumption that the quality of public services is not only determined by human resources and service systems, but is also strongly influenced by adequate, standardized, and supportive facilities and infrastructure for the needs of the community and service users.

Facilities such as waiting rooms, elderly-friendly service access, technology-based service systems, and correctional facilities still face shortcomings, including damaged conditions, limited capacity, and the failure to fully meet public service standards across all units. Improvement efforts have been made in the form of procuring priority facilities, basic facility maintenance, gradual budget adjustments, and the use of digital service technologies. Keywords: Public service, policy implementation, facilities and infrastructure, Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Riau.
KAPABILITAS DINAS PEKERJAAN UMUM DAN PENATAAN RUANG KOTA PEKANBARU DALAM MENGELOLA DRAINASE DI KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023-2024
This study discusses the capability of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (PUPR) of Pekanbaru City in managing drainage within the city during 2023–2024. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques consisting of document analysis, field observation, and interviews with relevant stakeholders within the PUPR Office. The theoretical framework used in this research is Leonard-Barton’s (1992) concept of Core Capabilities, which includes four main dimensions: Knowledge and Skills, Technical Systems, Managerial Systems, and Values and Norms. The results of the study indicate that the capability of the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of Pekanbaru City in managing drainage remains reactive. Several obstacles were identified, including limited budget allocation, insufficient technical expertise of human resources, low community awareness regarding drainage cleanliness, and weak coordination between divisions within the PUPR Office. This research concludes that drainage governance in Pekanbaru has not yet operated optimally, as the current approach predominantly focuses on short term operational actions rather than strategic, data-driven planning. Therefore, integrating information technology, improving human resource capacity, increasing budget allocation, and strengthening community participation are essential strategies to achieve modern, efficient, and sustainable drainage governance. Keywords : Capabilities, Public Works and Public Housing Agency, Drainage Management, Pekanbaru City.
PROGRAM KELURAHAN/DESA BERSIH NARKOBA (BERSINAR) OLEH BNN KOTA DUMAI TAHUN 2023
Drug abuse and illicit trafficking pose a serious threat to national resilience, including in Dumai City, which geographically lies in a coastal area directly connected to international shipping routes in the Malacca Strait. This strategic position makes Dumai vulnerable to becoming an entry point for narcotics smuggling networks. Data from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) indicates that Dumai ranked first for drug abuse cases in Riau Province in 2023, recording 117 cases with an increasing trend compared to the previous year. To address this issue, the Dumai City National Narcotics Agency (BNNK Dumai) implemented the Kelurahan Bersinar (Kelurahan Free from Drugs) program as a community-based prevention initiative at the local government level. This study aims to identify how the Kelurahan Bersinar program is implemented by BNNK Dumai and analyze the factors influencing its implementation. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The study applies Van Meter and Van Horn’s Policy Implementation Theory, which emphasizes six key variables: policy standards and objectives, resources, inter-organizational communication, characteristics of implementing agencies, socio-economic conditions, and implementers’ disposition. The results show that the implementation of the Kelurahan Bersinar program has been carried out through awareness campaigns, the establishment of community-based anti-drug activists, and coordination with related agencies. However, based on Van Meter and Van Horn’s theoretical analysis, several variables have not been optimally fulfilled, particularly those related to limited budget support, human resources, cross-sector coordination, and low community participation. These constraints contribute to the suboptimal implementation outcomes at the field level. Despite these challenges, the Kelurahan Bersinar program holds significant potential for strengthening community-based drug prevention efforts. Strengthening regulatory support, funding allocation, and multi- sector collaboration is required to ensure more effective and sustainable program implementation. Keywords: Bersinar Program, Drug Prevention, Dumai City National Narcotics Agency

This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in the stunting prevention program in Pekanbaru City in 2023. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. The analysis utilized Ansell and Gash's collaborative governance theory, which encompasses initial conditions, facilitative leadership, institutional design, and collaboration processes. The results indicate that collaborative governance in stunting prevention in Pekanbaru City has been implemented through the Foster Parents and Stunting Children (BAAS) Program, involving the Pekanbaru City Government, the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN), the Health Office, the private sector such as PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR), and the community. The study concluded that collaborative governance in the stunting prevention program in Pekanbaru City in 2023 has been implemented but has not yet been optimally implemented. Stronger regulations are needed to ensure sustainable and effective collaboration in reducing stunting rates. Keywords: Collaborative Governance, Stunting Prevention, Pekanbaru
INOVASI PEMERINTAH DESA TUMANG KECAMATAN SIAK KABUPATEN SIAK DALAM MENGELOLA SAMPAH TAHUN 2023
The issue of waste management at the village level has become a significant challenge in achieving a clean and sustainable environment. Tumang Village, Siak Subdistrict, Siak Regency, faces an increasing volume of waste due to population growth and low community awareness in sorting and managing household waste. As a solution, the Tumang Village Government initiated an innovation in waste management through the establishment of the Lestari Waste Bank in collaboration with SD Negeri 10 Tumang, the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK), and the community. This program is an implementation of Siak Regency Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2012 on Waste Management Guidelines and Village Regulation Number 02 of 2021 on Waste Management and Environmental Cleanliness, aiming to raise environmental awareness and provide economic benefits to the community. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. Primary data were obtained from the Village Head, Waste Bank administrators, PKK members, teachers, and residents, while secondary data came from official village documents, activity reports, and relevant scientific literature. Data analysis was carried out through data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, using Everett M. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory as the analytical framework. The results indicate that the waste management innovation in Tumang Village successfully increased community awareness of environmental cleanliness, strengthened mutual cooperation, and provided economic benefits through recycling activities. Although there are still challenges such as limited facilities and consistency of community participation, the program has proven effective in encouraging social behavior change and serves as a good practice example in realizing the “Green Siak” vision toward sustainable environmental governance.

IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN KESEJAHTERAAN SOSIAL OLEH PEMERINTAH KOTA PEKANBARU KHUSUS GELANDANGAN DAN PENGEMIS TAHUN 2024
The City of Pekanbaru faces problems related to homeless people and beggars who are spread across strategic locations. This study analyzes the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2023 concerning the Administration of Social Welfare using a qualitative descriptive approach. The programs implemented include social rehabilitation (181 people), social security (181 people), social empowerment (201 people), and social protection (113 people). The results show that the Regional Regulation provides a comprehensive legal framework, with the Regional House of Representatives and the Social Service acting as the main implementing institutions. However, its effectiveness is limited due to budget constraints, weak coordination, and a high rate of recidivism. Increasing budget allocation and strengthening cross-sector coordination are required to achieve sustainable social transformation. Keywords: Regional Regulation, Welfare, Homeless People, Beggars.

Integrity zone development is an effort to realize bureaucratic reform aimed at creating a government institution that is clean, accountable, and service oriented. The Riau High Prosecutor's Office, as a law enforcement institution, actively participates in implementing integrity zones to achieve the Clean and Serving Bureaucracy Area (WBBM) title. This study aims to explore and explain the process of integrity zone development at the Riau High Prosecutor’s Office in 2024, the implementation of related policies and theories, as well as the challenges and developments encountered during its implementation. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included interviews, documentation, and observation. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the integrity zone development at the Riau High Prosecutor's Office is carried out through six areas of change: change management, organizational structuring, human resource management, strengthening accountability, strengthening supervision, and improving the quality of public services. This aligns with Dwiyanto’s theory of bureaucratic reform, which emphasizes the importance of transformation in organizational structure, improved human resource quality, simplification of procedures, enhanced supervision and accountability, and better public service delivery. The implementation of the integrity zone theory is carried out gradually, based on PERMEN PANRB Regulation No.90 of 2021. The Riau High Prosecutor's Office has also developed various innovations, including the use of information technology in public services, as part of its commitment to WBBM. However, several challenges remain, including the suboptimal score of the SAKIP, obstacles in simplifying service procedures, and the presence of internal behaviors that are inconsistent with the principles of integrity. Nevertheless, there have been significant positive changes in work culture and service systems, indicating that the integrity zone development process at the Riau High Prosecutor's Office is moving in a promising direction. Keywords: Integrity Zone, WBBM, Prosecutor’s Office, Bureaucratic Reform, Public Service

Tourism policy is a manifestation of the integration of public policy and tourism sector development strategies oriented towards community welfare and environmental sustainability. In the context of Bengkalis Regency, the tourism sector is a selected government affair with strategic potential to increase Regional Original Income (PAD) and strengthen the region's image. The purpose of this study is to examine the tourism policy applied to the development of Lapin Beach and the factors influencing it. Tourism, as a strategic sector, requires appropriate government policies to improve community welfare while strengthening the attractiveness of tourist destinations.The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants came from the Bengkalis Regency Tourism Office, the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), NGOs, and local communities. The collected data was then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to illustrate the political realities of tourism policy in the field.The research results show that Lapin Beach development policies still face several obstacles, including budget constraints, lack of community participation, weak promotion, and suboptimal tourism infrastructure. Although the government acts as a facilitator, the dominance of local elites and minimal community involvement have led to unequal benefits. Therefore, policy transparency, increased community participation, and protection of socio-ecological aspects are essential to realizing inclusive and sustainable tourism development in North Rupat District, Bengkalis Regency. Keywords : Policy Politics, Tourism, Tourism Object Development, Lapin Beach
DINAMIKA RELASI KEPALA DESA DAN BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA (STUDI KASUS DESA SURAYYA MANDIRI KECAMATAN MANDAH KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HILIR TAHUN 2019-2021)
The enactment of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning villages establishes that the relationship between the Village Head and the Village Consultative Body (BPD) is an important element that ideally should be collaborative, coordinative, and consultative. However, in practice, this relationship often experiences dynamics that lead to conflict, as seen in Surayya Mandiri Village, Mandah District, Indragiri Hilir Regency. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of the relationship between the Village Head and the BPD as well as conflict resolution efforts undertaken in the relationship between these two institutions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with seven informants. Additionally, data collection was conducted through document studies. Secondary data were obtained from relevant literature and supporting documents. The findings indicate that the relationship between the Village Head and the BPD in Surayya Mandiri Village during the 2019–2021 period was conflictual. The conflict was triggered by differing interests and political backgrounds following the 2019 Simultaneous Village Head Election, where the Village Head and the BPD came from opposing factions. The sources of conflict included differing interests in managing village development resources, residual tensions from the village head election contestation, and the BPD's tendency to exceed its authority. The impact of this conflictual relationship included stagnation in village governance, delays in ratifying the Village Budget (APBDes) and Village Development Plan (RKPDes), hindered infrastructure development, and failure to distribute Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Conflict resolution efforts were made through conciliation and mediation. Conciliation by community leaders and mediation facilitated by the Mandah District Office yielded no results. Mediation by the Indragiri Hilir Regency Community and Village Empowerment Agency (DPMD) produced an agreement, but it was not implemented by the BPD. The conflict ultimately peaked and ended with the resignation of all BPD members and several Surayya Mandiri Village officials in 2021. Keywords: Dynamics, Conflictual Relations, Conflict Resolution

This study aims to analyze the governance of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDesa) Bina Negeri in Gunung Sahilan Village, Gunung Sahilan District, Kampar Regency. BUMDesa plays a strategic role in supporting rural development and improving community welfare. Although BUMDesa Bina Negeri has operated since 2011 and manages several business units, its implementation still faces challenges, particularly low community participation and the suboptimal utilization of village assets and potential. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data collected from relevant documents. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The theoretical framework used is Widyananda’s governance concept, which includes transparency, accountability, fairness, and responsibility. The findings indicate that BUMDesa Bina Negeri has demonstrated a positive commitment to implementing good governance principles; however, weaknesses remain in information access, human resource management, internal control systems, and performance measurement. These results highlight the need to strengthen community participation and optimize village potential to enhance the effectiveness of BUMDesa management. Keywords: Governance, Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDesa), Transparency, Accountability, Fairness, Responsibility
PENGELOLAAN TRANSPORTASI PUBLIK TRANS METRO PEKANBARU OLEH DINAS PERHUBUNGAN KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2023-2024
This study aims to analyze the management of Trans Metro Pekanbaru by the Urban Transport Management Unit (UPT Pengelolaan Angkutan Perkotaan) under the Department of Transportation of Pekanbaru City through four public management functions: planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. Public transportation plays a vital role in supporting urban mobility, yet its implementation often encounters challenges ranging from limited infrastructure to inter-agency coordination issues. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including interviews, documentation, and field observations. The results show that in terms of planning, the UPT has developed annual operational plans and route mapping, but implementation is often hindered by budget limitations and lack of synergy among local agencies. Regarding organizing, the organizational structure is in place, but work distribution is uneven and technical task assignments are suboptimal. In the actuating aspect, the unit has made efforts to improve staff performance through routine briefings and internal evaluations, but these efforts lack continuous training and motivation systems. For controlling, supervision still relies heavily on manual systems, which hampers effective reporting and responsiveness to operational issues.The study recommends strengthening human resource capacity, digitizing supervision systems, and establishing regular coordination forums among local agencies to improve the sustainability of Trans Metro Pekanbaru services. Keywords: Trans Metro Pekanbaru, public transportation management, planning, organizing, actuating, controlling, Urban Transport Management Unit.
FUNGSI BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA MARSAWA KECAMATAN SENTAJO RAYA KABUPATEN KUANTAN SINGINGI TAHUN 2023
Based on Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 110 of 2016 concerning Village Consultative Bodies, the Village Consultative Bodies (BPD) have important functions and duties in the village government system. The BPD's functions include discussing and agreeing on draft village regulations with the village head, accommodating and channeling community aspirations, and overseeing the village head's performance. These functions are carried out, among other things, to meet community needs, including development. This study aims to determine the implementation of the functions of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) of Marsawa Village in road construction in Marsawa Village, Sentajo Raya District, Kuantan Singingi Regency in 2023. This study uses a qualitative research method with a qualitative descriptive type of research. The theory used for this study uses the theory of Deliberative Democracy to see the extent of the implementation of the BPD's functions. Research results indicate that the function of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in accommodating and channeling the aspirations of the community has been operating well through citizen dialogue sessions in each hamlet as a participatory forum, especially concerning road infrastructure needs. The BPD's function in discussing and approving draft village regulations is also carried out through the Musrenbang forum, where the BPD acts as a representative institution of the residents. However, decisions are still dominated by the executive, so some aspirations have not been accommodated. The supervisory function over the village head's performance is carried out through dialogue and deliberative meetings, although some programs, such as road construction, have not been realized due to funding limitations and cross-government coordination issues. Keywords: BPD, Function, Supervision
IMPLEMENTASI PERATURAN WALIKOTA PEKANBARU NOMOR 15 TAHUN 2023 TENTANG PENYELENGGARAAN REKLAME DI KOTA PEKANBARU TAHUN 2024
The management of advertisements is one form of public space regulation that plays an important role in supporting the increase of local revenue through advertisement taxes. In accordance with Pekanbaru Mayor Regulation Number 15 of 2023 concerning the Management of Advertisements as a guideline for regulating advertisements in Pekanbaru City. In its implementation, various problems are still found, such as unlicensed advertisements, installation of advertisements that do not comply with regulations, limited supervision, and coordination between regional apparatuses. This research uses the theoretical foundation of Policy Implementation according to George Edward III, which is a concept that explains the factors for success in implementing a policy, including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews and documentation, using primary and secondary data. The research location is in Pekanbaru City. Data analysis was conducted using an approach that includes data collection, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this research indicate that policy implementation has not run optimally. This is evident from the still large number of unlicensed billboard advertisements or those whose IMB/PBG permits have expired, the installation of advertisements in locations that do not comply with provisions, and the increase in illegal advertisements due to the change in the licensing system from IMB to PBG. This condition is worsened by ineffective communication to the community, limited implementing resources, inconsistent officer disposition, and bureaucratic structure and inter-agency coordination that do not yet support maximum enforcement. As a result, the management of advertisements has not fully complied with the provisions of Pekanbaru Mayor Regulation Number 15 of 2023.

PROMOSI OBJEK WISATA ALAM PERTAMINA LIRIK DI KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HULU PROVINSI RIAU
Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau Province, is a region with significant potential for tourism development, particularly natural tourism. One such destination is the Pertamina Lirik Nature Tourism Object, located in Lirik District. Despite its natural resources and relatively adequate facilities, this attraction has not been able to attract optimal tourist visits. One of the main factors influencing this situation is limited funding and human resources for promotional activities. This study aims to determine how the management of the Pertamina Lirik Nature Tourism Object promotes itself, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, referring to the five promotional tools according to Kotler and Armstrong (2017).

Supporting promotional factors include a strategic location along the Trans-Sumatra Highway, social media sharing and hashtags, and programs supported by CSR and educational activities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include a lack of active management members, insufficient funding, and limited professional human resources in the tourism sector. With proper promotion, the Pertamina Lirik Nature Tourism Object has the potential to become a stable, leading tourist destination.
