Tue, 12 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Corruption prevention in Indonesian villages is generally limited to the formal and informal dichotomy. To bridge this dichotomy, this research uses a bio-political approach and a cultural framework as a representation of the formal and informal. This research aims to explore bio-politics and cultural frameworks in preventing corruption in village funds in Sendang Village, Wonogiri. Using phenomenological qualitative research methods and triangulation, the results show that Sendang Village in Wonogiri has become a prime example of transparency and accountability prior to the recommendation from Transparency International Indonesia (TII) in 2023. Sendang Village also issued various regulations and utilized inherent and extrinsic village values to build massive corruption prevention practices. Despite the dynamics and issues arising from the simultaneous application of the bio-political and cultural frameworks, corruption prevention efforts in Sendang Village continue to be built consistently. The research has implications for bridging the dichotomy between formal and informal corruption prevention in the village. In addition, this research also provides an in-depth description and different perspectives in the research of corruption prevention at the village level.

Work communication encompasses the exchange of information, ideas, and understanding between individuals or groups within an organization. Effective communication can strengthen relationships among team members, management, and employees in creating a healthy work environment. On the other hand, issues such as compensation problems and work stress are frequently experienced by employees and can lead to major challenges like high turnover rates, as faced by PT PG Rajawali II Cirebon. This research aims to determine the influence of work communication on employee turnover intention at PT PG Rajawali II Cirebon, specifically regarding employees' desire to stay or leave the organization. This research employs quantitative methods and statistical analysis with a population of 125 people, applying theories of work communication and turnover intention. The results show that 16.4% of turnover intention within the company is caused by inhibited communication. Communication at PT PG Rajawali II Cirebon is still lacking, as work errors due to employee miscommunication ultimately affect employees' intention to leave the company. The implications of this research indicate that effective work communication within an organization can strengthen relationships, enhance job satisfaction, and reduce turnover intention or the desire to leave. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that good work communication can reduce turnover intention by increasing employee satisfaction and engagement.

The transportation sector is one of the main contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 18.52% of total emissions, with this percentage reaching 40% in developed countries. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of Car-Free Day (CFD) implementation in reducing emissions in Cirebon, Indonesia, as a contribution to the 13th Sustainable Development Goal on climate action. The research method used a mixed approach, combining quantitative analysis of fuel consumption data with qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of CFD. Referring to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's National Greenhouse Gas Inventory guidelines, Book I: The results showed that while CFD reduced emissions by 13-26% in the designated lane due to traffic diversion, it also led to an 8-14% increase in emissions in the alternative lane. Therefore, the overall emission reduction effort was not optimal, as the emission reduction in one lane was masked by the emission increase in the other lane. The implication of this research is that a more holistic approach is needed to effectively reduce urban greenhouse gas emissions. The results of this research can serve as a basis for formulating more effective transportation policies, such as extending the duration and coverage of CFD, restricting vehicles on alternative routes, and improving public transportation systems that are more environmentally friendly.
