Dini Ariska — 2025-09-12

This study aims to analyze community participation in the construction of Livable Housing (RLH) in Talaga Jaya District, Gorontalo Regency. The research focuses on four main indicators of participation: decision-making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and utilization of results. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants consisted of village officials, BPD members, and RLH assistance recipients in three villages: Hutadaa, Bunggalo, and Buhu. The findings indicate that the level of community participation varies across the four indicators. Community members tend to be more active in the implementation and utilization stages, as seen in activities such as working together during construction and maintaining the completed houses. In contrast, participation in decision-making and evaluation remains relatively low due to the limited availability of dedicated forums that directly involve residents. Several factors influence participation levels, including education, economic conditions, access to information, and local cultural values. In conclusion, the success of the RLH program is strongly linked to active community involvement from the planning stage through to maintenance. Enhancing mechanisms that encourage inclusive participation is essential to ensure that housing development is more equitable, responsive to community needs, and sustainable over the long term.

Dinamika Populas Kepiting Bakau (Scylla serrata) dengan Mempertimbangkan Sifat Kanibalisme

Randy Ferdiansyah — 2025-09-12

This study examines the population dynamics of mud crabs (Scylla serrata) by incorporating the biological phenomenon of cannibalism into a mathematical model. The model considers the mud crab population as consisting of two age classes, namely juvenile mud crabs and adult mud crabs. The formulation produces two equilibrium points: the extinction equilibrium E₀ = (0,0), which represents the disappearance of the entire population, and the coexistence equilibrium E∗ = (CJ∗,CA∗), which indicates the persistence of both juveniles and adults. Stability analysis shows that the extinction point E₀ is asymptotically stable if α < µ²/r - µ while the coexistence point E∗ remains stable when the intrinsic growth rate α lies within the interval α > α1 and α < α2. These results emphasize that the long-term survival of the population depends on critical biological parameters. Numerical simulations further support the analytical findings by demonstrating that the abundance of mud crabs is highly sensitive to variations in growth rate, competition intensity, and predation levels. In particular, an increase in cannibalistic behavior significantly alters the balance between juvenile and adult populations, potentially leading to population decline if not moderated. The findings of this study provide useful insights into the ecological dynamics of Scylla serrata, which is a species of high economic and ecological importance in mangrove ecosystems. Furthermore, the integration of mathematical modeling and numerical simulation offers a valuable framework for understanding complex interactions in aquatic populations and may serve as a reference for sustainable management strategies in mud crab fisheries.

Sentence Structure Utilization in English Academic Writing Courses of Students in ELESP

Siti Safitri — 2025-09-19

This study investigates the Sentence structure utilization in English academic writing courses of students in ELESP. This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative method with a cross-sectional design to describe the sentence structure utilization between students from the 2020 and 2021 academic years. The results convey that students' command of sentence structures exhibits both promising aspects and areas requiring substantial improvement. The most prominent pattern observed is the heavy reliance on simple and compound sentences in academic writing tasks. Furthermore, the study has uncovered a significant correlation between sentence structure variety and sentence structure problems in their academic writing. However, many students tend to fall back on familiar patterns, resulting in monotonous writing that fails to effectively capture the nuances of academic argumentation. The findings reveal that students of both academic years could construct sentences, but were only able to compose simple and compound sentences when compiling their writing assignments. Therefore, this study provides pedagogical implications for academic writing students, underscores the development of students’ sentence structure competency, and the learning process to facilitate the students with the proper educational resources.

Labor productivity is a crucial factor in determining the efficiency and success of construction project implementation. This study aims to measure labor productivity in the field using the Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) and compare it with the Unit Price Analysis (AHSP) SNI 2024 standards. The research was conducted on the HBEC Building construction project, focusing on the reinforcement work of the first-floor column in the meeting room area. The work sampling method with a productivity rating approach was employed to obtain actual labor productivity data on-site. The results show that the LUR value reached 82.97%, far above the minimum productivity threshold of 50%. This indicates that the labor productivity level on the project is considered high and satisfactory. Furthermore, a comparison between on-site productivity and the AHSP 2024 standards revealed that the average labor productivity on-site was 20 kg/day, while AHSP 2024 recorded 20.47 kg/day. The very small difference suggests that the actual labor productivity on-site is nearly equivalent to the national standards, reflecting efficient performance in project implementation. Overall, this study concludes that the work sampling method is effective in evaluating construction labor productivity. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for project managers and stakeholders in optimizing labor performance and improving project implementation efficiency in the future.

Annisa Adriana Maksud — 2025-09-24

This study was motivated by the low realization of hotel tax revenue in Gorontalo Regency, which has failed to meet the target for the past five years despite various policies being implemented. The objective of this study is to describe the hotel tax administration system at the Regional Revenue Agency of Gorontalo Regency, focusing on three main aspects: the tax collection system, the quality of services provided to taxpayers, and the utilization of information technology in tax administration. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the tax collection system applies a self-assessment method, in which taxpayers calculate, deposit, and report their taxes independently. However, the implementation of this method has not been accompanied by a satisfactory level of taxpayer compliance. In terms of services, tax officers have provided relatively good administrative services but have not been optimal in conducting socialization and education activities for taxpayers. Meanwhile, the utilization of information technology through the SIPADA application has been introduced to facilitate tax reporting and payment but has not yet operated effectively due to limited taxpayer understanding and several technical constraints. In conclusion, the hotel tax administration system in Gorontalo Regency has not yet functioned effectively. Therefore, strengthening supervision, improving service quality, and optimizing the use of information technology are essential to significantly and sustainably increase the region’s Own-Source Revenue (PAD).

Analisis Penjadwalan Ulang dengan Menggunakan Metode Line of Balance (LoB) pada Pembangunan Perumahan (Studi Kasus: Perumahan Griya Aulia Permai)

Mohamad Rifaldi Mahmud — 2025-09-30

This study examines the impact of scheduling methods on time efficiency in housing construction projects, focusing on the problem of delays caused by inappropriate scheduling techniques. In many projects, the lack of alignment between the chosen scheduling method and the repetitive nature of construction activities often results in overlapping work, idle time, and inefficient resource allocation. To address this issue, the study applies the Line of Balance (LoB) method to the Griya Aulia Permai Housing Project and compares its effectiveness with the conventional scheduling method currently in use. The LoB method is particularly suitable for projects involving repetitive tasks, such as housing developments, where similar units are built sequentially. By arranging work in a continuous and balanced manner, LoB minimizes disruptions and idle periods between different work groups. Each trade can proceed smoothly without waiting for others to finish, ensuring optimal workflow across project stages. Analysis of the Griya Aulia Permai project reveals a significant improvement in scheduling efficiency. Under the existing method, the project duration was planned for 480 days. However, using the LoB approach, the total construction time was reduced to only 289 days, representing a time saving of 191 days. This reduction not only improves productivity but also has positive implications for project cost control and client satisfaction. In conclusion, adopting the LoB method in housing construction scheduling offers a more efficient and systematic approach, making it highly recommended for projects with repetitive construction elements to ensure timely completion and enhanced resource utilization.
