The Relationship Between Financial Literacy And Risk Perception On Students’ Interest In Using Shopee Paylater In Surakarta City

2025-12-31T07:31:30+00:00

For university students, financial literacy is not merely associated with an understanding of financial products, but also reflects their capacity to assess financial risks when engaging with digital payment services such as PayLater. The increasing adoption of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platforms among students has raised concerns regarding financial behavior, self-control, and risk management within the digital economy, highlighting the need for empirical investigation in this context. This study employed a quantitative associative approach using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 100 active undergraduate students in Surakarta who had used Shopee PayLater. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS, supported by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on students’ interest in using Shopee PayLater. Risk perception also has a positive and significant effect on students’ interest. Simultaneously, financial literacy and risk perception significantly influence students’ interest in using BNPL services. The findings emphasize the importance of improving financial literacy and risk awareness among students to encourage responsible BNPL usage. Sound financial decision-making among young consumers can support sustainable consumption, minimize excessive debt risks, and contribute to financial system stability in the digital economy. This study simultaneously integrates financial literacy and risk perception to explain students’ interest in BNPL services at the city level, particularly in Surakarta. Unlike prior studies focusing on general consumers, this research provides specific empirical evidence from the student segment in Indonesia.

The Influence Of Ceo Power On Environmental, Social, Governance (Esg) Disclosure In Infrastructure Companies Listed On The Asian Stock Exchange In The 2019-2023 Period

2026-02-05T02:23:43+00:00

This study focuses on analyzing the influence of CEO power on ESG disclosure in infrastructure companies listed on the Asian Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023. Globally, the implementation of ESG principles is increasingly considered crucial as a manifestation of a company's commitment to sustainability, in line with the sustainable development goals supported by the G20 countries. CEO PowerCEO duality, including share ownership and dual roles as CEO and chairman of the board of directors, are important factors that can influence a company's strategic decisions. However, this study found that CEO duality significantly influences ESG disclosure in companies. Meanwhile, CEO ownership does not significantly influence ESG disclosure. This suggests that CEO leadership structure does not directly drive increased transparency in ESG disclosure. This study suggests that companies should not rely solely on CEO leadership structure to improve ESG disclosure, but should also consider other factors such as board composition and external regulations. This is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the factors influencing ESG disclosure and how this can support better and more sustainable corporate governance practices.

The Impact Of The Expansion Of Gunung Rinjani National Park On Land Conflicts And Food Self-Sufficiency Of Local Communities

2026-02-11T05:20:53+00:00

This study examines the impacts of the expansion of Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR) on land conflicts and local food self-sufficiency among communities living in surrounding buffer zones in Lombok Island, Indonesia. The expansion of conservation areas and the redefinition of zoning regulations have altered local land tenure systems, restricted access to productive and subsistence land, and intensified conflicts between conservation authorities and local communities, particularly smallholder farmers and indigenous groups. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, using in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving community members, customary leaders, TNGR officials, local government representatives, and civil society organizations. The findings reveal that land conflicts manifest in multiple forms, including tenurial disputes, horizontal social conflicts, ecological access conflicts, and economic competition related to tourism development. These conflicts have significantly reduced household food production capacity, weakened food diversification, and increased dependence on market-based food systems, thereby undermining local food self-sufficiency. From a political ecology perspective, the study shows that conservation expansion operates as a form of spatial control that reinforces power asymmetries and marginalizes customary land-use systems. The study concludes that effective conflict resolution requires an integrated governance approach that combines formal legal mechanisms with recognition of customary tenure through participatory and collaborative management. Strengthening conservation partnerships, inclusive dialogue, and equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms is essential to reconcile ecological conservation objectives with sustainable livelihoods and long-term food sovereignty of local communities.

Rethinking Cultural Proximity: Transnational Taste Formation Among Indonesian Female Audiences Of Boys’ Love Media

2026-01-06T12:32:26+00:00

This study examines how Indonesian female audiences construct cultural proximity toward Boys’ Love (BL) media through transnational exposure rather than local cultural affiliation. Although BL has gained significant popularity in Indonesia through Asian productions, locally produced BL content does not automatically achieve cultural closeness among audiences. This research addresses the gap in cultural proximity studies by questioning the assumption that local media inherently resonates more strongly with local audiences. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving two groups of Indonesian women: fans of Asian BL and non-viewers of BL. Participants were exposed to selected clips of Indonesian BL content and invited to share their interpretations, emotional responses, and evaluations. The data were analyzed thematically with cultural proximity as the primary analytical lens, supported by reception theory. The findings reveal that cultural proximity among BL audiences is shaped more by repeated exposure to transnational BL media, particularly from Thailand and Japan, than by national or cultural similarity. BL fans developed transnational taste standards related to narrative style, emotional tone, and production quality, which influenced their evaluation of Indonesian BL content. In contrast, non-viewers tended to rely on local moral and cultural frameworks when interpreting BL media. This study concludes that cultural proximity in the digital media environment is increasingly transnational and affective, suggesting the need to rethink cultural proximity beyond national boundaries in contemporary audience research.

Utilization Of Instagram For The Dissemination Of Lupus Information: An Analysis Of The Four Pillars Of Social Media Strategy

2026-02-12T22:43:27+00:00

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease that still faces challenges in terms of health literacy, social stigma, and limited support for its sufferers. In this context, social media is a strategic medium for healthcare organizations to convey information, build audience engagement, and facilitate community support. This study aims to analyze the digital health communication strategy of the Lupus Indonesia Foundation through the @yayasanlupusindonesia Instagram account using the framework of the Four Pillars of Social Media Strategy of Safko and Brake. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the support of quantitative content analysis. The research data included 49 purposively selected Instagram posts, as well as audience comments collected through a scraping process using Apify's tools. The analysis is focused on the implementation of content strategies, audience engagement patterns, and user responses and sentiment. The results of the study show that the communication strategy of the Indonesian Lupus Foundation is not only oriented towards the delivery of health information, but also emphasizes a dialogical, collaborative, and empathetic approach. Communication and education-based content shows a relatively higher level of audience engagement, while the comment column serves as a digital social support space for people with lupus. These findings indicate that effective digital health communication in the context of chronic disease needs to integrate informational, relational, and affective dimensions simultaneously. This research provides a theoretical contribution in strengthening the relevance of the Four Pillars of Social Media Strategy in the study of digital health communication, as well as a practical contribution for health organizations in designing more participatory and sustainable social media communication strategies.

Educational Facility Needs Based on School-Age Population Growth: Evidence from Poso Regency, Indonesia

2026-03-13T07:31:53+00:00

This study aims to analyze the availability and distribution of educational facilities in Poso Regency in 2026. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using secondary data collected through document analysis from official sources. The analysis was conducted based on the SNI 03-1733-2004 standard to compare the required number of educational facilities with existing availability across all subdistricts in Poso Regency. Population projection using the geometric method estimates that the school-age population will reach 223,190 in 2026, which serves as the basis for calculating facility needs. The results indicate that, overall, the availability of educational facilities in Poso Regency is relatively sufficient at the kindergarten, primary school, and junior high school levels, where the number of available facilities exceeds the calculated requirements. However, at the senior high school level, a deficit of 27 units was identified. In addition, the distribution of educational facilities remains uneven across subdistricts, as several areas still lack any senior high school facilities. This study contributes to educational planning by providing a data-driven assessment of facility adequacy based on school-age population needs. From a policy perspective, the findings highlight the need to prioritize the development and equitable provision of senior high school facilities, particularly in underserved subdistricts. Strategic efforts should focus on increasing the number of schools and improving the distribution of facilities to ensure more equitable access to education.

Conversely, financial slack was found to strengthen the effect of ESG on financial performance, with a coefficient of 3.029 and a significance level of 0.001. This study contributes to the development of ESG literature by incorporating financial condition as a moderating factor and provides practical implications for management in optimizing resources to support ESG implementation.

Exploring Student Satisfaction In Technology-Enhanced Learning And Institutional Competitiveness: A Systematic Literature Review

2026-04-01T02:59:36+00:00

Student satisfaction within technology-enhanced learning (TEL) environments is a pivotal factor influencing pedagogical effectiveness and higher education institutions' strategic positioning in a competitive landscape. However, critics highlight drawbacks, including dissatisfaction from the abrupt COVID-19 shift to online learning due to inadequate preparation, overburdened instructors, technostress, isolation in asynchronous courses, increased dropout rates, poor retention, and reputational damage. This systematic literature review synthesizes evidence from 64 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus, published between 2020 and 2025 across multiple countries, to examine the key determinants of student satisfaction in TEL and their implications for institutional strategy and sustainability. The findings indicate that student satisfaction is a multifaceted construct shaped by pedagogical, technological, and support-related dimensions. These dimensions enhance learners’ perceptions and engagement, leading to improved retention, institutional reputation, enrollment outcomes, and overall competitiveness. The review also highlights the critical role of adaptive learning technologies and personalized instructional design in strengthening satisfaction. Furthermore, Institutions must strategically invest in robust TEL infrastructure and faculty development to optimize learning experiences and sustain long-term competitive advantage.
