alui QR Code diterapkan sebagai upaya menertibkan pendataan dan meningkatkan pengawasan transaksi BBM subsidi, namun pelaksanaannya masih menghadapi sejumlah kendala. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketidakteraturan administrasi kendaraan, rendahnya literasi digital masyarakat, dan keterbatasan akses teknologi menjadi faktor yang menghambat proses pendaftaran dan verifikasi. Selain itu, kapasitas kelembagaan daerah serta pengawasan di lapangan belum sebanding dengan kompleksitas distribusi energi di wilayah yang luas dan terpencar. Kondisi ini membuat kebijakan berjalan parsial dan belum sepenuhnya memenuhi tujuan ketepatan sasaran subsidi. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya dukungan struktural, peningkatan literasi teknologi, serta koordinasi antar lembaga agar digitalisasi BBM subsidi dapat berjalan lebih efektif dan inklusif di tingkat daerah.

uan untuk mengidentifikasi potensi, peran, dan tantangan Kelompok Informasi Masyarakat (KIM) di Kabupaten Merauke dalam mengintegrasikan nilai budaya lokal dengan pemanfaatan teknologi digital untuk memperkuat ekonomi kreatif berbasis komunitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi yang melibatkan anggota KIM, tokoh adat, serta pelaku ekonomi kreatif lokal. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan berdasarkan model Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai kearifan lokal masyarakat Marind, seperti gotong royong, solidaritas sosial, dan keberlanjutan alam, menjadi fondasi utama dalam membangun identitas ekonomi kreatif lokal yang berkelanjutan. KIM berperan penting sebagai fasilitator literasi digital, mediator komunikasi pembangunan, serta penghubung antara masyarakat dan ruang ekonomi digital yang lebih luas. Namun, keterbatasan infrastruktur digital, rendahnya kapasitas teknologi, dan minimnya dukungan kebijakan menjadi hambatan utama dalam proses pengembangan ekonomi kreatif berbasis digital di wilayah ini. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi antara kearifan lokal dan teknologi digital dapat menjadi strategi efektif dalam memperkuat kemandirian ekonomi masyarakat 3T. Penguatan kapasitas digital KIM dan kolaborasi lintas sektor diperlukan untuk menciptakan ekosistem ekonomi kreatif yang inklusif, adaptif, dan berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Merauke.

nya diimbangi dengan tata kelola yang kuat dan penerapan sistem digitalisasi rantai nilai yang menjamin keberlanjutan serta transparansi. Sebagian besar petani sawit swadaya di Papua Selatan masih menghadapi kendala pada literasi digital, akses teknologi, kelembagaan yang lemah, serta belum adanya sistem ketertelusuran (traceability system) yang memenuhi standar keberlanjutan seperti Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) dan European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kesiapan petani sawit swadaya terhadap implementasi sistem pemetaan digital rantai nilai di Papua Selatan, dengan fokus pada tiga dimensi utama: kelembagaan lokal, kapasitas digital petani, dan dukungan kebijakan. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap petani, aparat kampung, koperasi, dan dinas terkait di Kabupaten Merauke dan Boven Digoel, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap kebijakan daerah dan laporan keberlanjutan. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman (1994) yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kesiapan digital petani masih tergolong rendah hingga sedang akibat minimnya literasi dan infrastruktur penunjang, namun terdapat potensi penguatan kelembagaan koperasi serta dukungan pemerintah daerah. Penelitian ini menawarkan kerangka kesiapan digital petani sawit berbasis konteks lokal Papua Selatan yang mengintegrasikan aspek kelembagaan, teknologi, dan kebijakan untuk mewujudkan sistem ketertelusuran berbasis komunitas yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract:This research discusses the influence of social media content on the emergence of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) behavior and its connection to increasing consumerism in Generation Z. This generation grew up in a digital ecosystem…
system saturated with visualizations of ideal lifestyles disseminated through platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. Constant exposure to such content creates anxiety about missing out on seemingly important social experiences. FOMO then triggers consumptive actions, not due to functional needs, but because of symbolic impulses and social pressure to remain relevant within digital communities. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interviews of informants aged 20–26 years. The analysis results show that content such as unboxing, product reviews, and personal lifestyles have a significant impact on creating social pressure and shaping consumption-based identity. These findings underscore the importance of digital literacy and critical awareness so that Generation Z does not get trapped in a cycle of impulsive consumption, which poses risks to both mental and financial health. As an alternative, the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) approach is introduced to build healthier and more authentic digital relationships.
Abstract:Kelompok Informasi Masyarakat (KIM) serve as strategic partners of the government in disseminating information to the public, particularly in remote and rural areas. In the era of digital transformation, the role of KIM…
is increasingly crucial in promoting digital literacy to enhance access, understanding, and utilization of information technology among communities. This study aims to examine and optimize the role of KIM in improving digital literacy in Merauke Regency. A qualitative approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with several active KIM groups in Merauke. The results show that although KIM holds great potential as agents of digital literacy, limitations in human resource capacity, technological infrastructure, and lack of training are the main challenges. Therefore, optimizing the role of KIM requires regular training, cross-sector collaboration, and regulatory and budgetary support from the local government. Thus, KIM can become key drivers in building an inclusive and competitive digital society in Merauke.

ental sustainability, and competitiveness remain obstacles in the industry's value chain. Innovation in various aspects of the value chain, such as productivity improvement through agricultural technology, processing efficiency, and product diversification based on palm oil, is a key factor in enhancing the industry's competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the role of innovation in the palm oil industry value chain in Merauke Regency by identifying the types of innovations applied and the factors that support or hinder their adoption. The research employs a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The findings indicate that upstream sector innovations, such as the use of superior seedlings and digital plantation management, have improved productivity and efficiency. Meanwhile, downstream innovations in palm oil processing and value-added product diversification still face challenges, particularly in infrastructure and regulatory aspects. The study's implications suggest that optimizing innovation in the palm oil value chain requires more adaptive policies, increased investment in research and development, and capacity building for human resources. Thus, innovation can serve as a driving force in creating a more competitive, sustainable palm oil industry that contributes to local economic development in Merauke Regency.
