backbiting), polarization, and discrimination. These challenges call for an ethical framework that is not merely technical in nature but is also firmly grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to reconstruct a Qur’an-based digital communication ethics framework through a thematic analysis of Qur’anic interpretation of QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 and to examine its relevance to strengthening character education. This qualitative study employs a library research approach using thematic Qur’anic interpretation, content analysis, and contextual analysis of the Qur’an, classical and contemporary exegetical works, as well as scholarly literature on digital communication and character education. The findings reveal that QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 embody eight ethical principles that can be reconstructed within the context of digital communication: Dignity Protection, Respectful Communication, No Negative Labeling, Critical Verification, Privacy Protection, Responsible Speech, Inclusive Interaction, and Digital Equality. These eight principles are synthesized into the Qur’anic Digital Communication Ethics Framework (QDCEF), which comprises three overarching dimensions: Dignity, Responsibility, and Inclusion. The framework is further mapped onto the character values of respect, empathy, civility, tolerance, critical thinking, objectivity, trustworthiness, responsibility, integrity, justice, and self-control. These findings affirm that QS. Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 are relevant not only as a source of moral and character education but also as a conceptual foundation for reconstructing a digital communication ethics framework that bridges Qur’anic values with the demands of character education in the digital era. The proposed QDCEF thus offers a value-based conceptual framework for fostering ethical, responsible, inclusive, and character-oriented digital communication.
Abstract:Romantic relationships are one form of interpersonal relationship that can influence the emotional and psychological conditions of university students. Romantic relationships can provide emotional support, comfort, attention,…
tion, a place to share problems, and motivation. However, problems within romantic relationships, such as lack of communication, dishonesty, betrayal, and lack of family approval, can also become sources of emotional and psychological pressure. This study aims to describe the dynamics of romantic relationships and their impact on the mental health of UIN Palopo students. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The informants consisted of four UIN Palopo students selected using purposive sampling. The informants consisted of one male student and three female students from the Islamic Guidance and Counseling, Islamic Religious Education, and Islamic Education Management study programs, all of whom were eighth-semester students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the dynamics of romantic relationships experienced by students developed through several stages, namely introduction, emotional closeness, commitment, conflict, and the end of the relationship. Communication, attention, trust, openness, and emotional attachment were important elements in the development and maintenance of relationships. Romantic relationships had positive impacts in the form of emotional support, comfort, attention, a place to share stories and problems, and increased motivation. Meanwhile, negative impacts included sadness, disappointment, feelings of loss, stress, anxiety, frustration, mood changes, difficulty regulating emotions, decreased appetite, loss of motivation, and reduced social interaction. Thus, romantic relationships can have both positive and negative impacts on students' mental health depending on the dynamics and experiences that occur within the relationship.
Abstract:Level design is one of the key components in determining the gameplay experience in 2D platformer games. However, manual level design is time-consuming and difficult to scale. Graph theory can be used to represent the abstract…
stract structure of a level, with nodes as spatial units and edges as paths connecting those spaces. The problem is that this graph structure cannot always be directly translated into a valid and playable physical layout due to platformer constraints, such as jump height, safe distance, and gravity. This research proposes a chunk-based transformation approach, in which each graph node is represented as a fixed-size level chunk containing a platform layout, obstacles, and entry and exit points. The transformation of the graph into a physical level is carried out through the selection, arrangement, and alignment of chunks based on the graph’s topology. This study aims to design a framework for transforming an abstract graph G=(V,E) into a chunk-based 2D platformer level layout. The method used is qualitative-descriptive, involving the formulation of a graph model, rules for mapping and arranging chunks, and playability criteria. The results of the study reveal three main stages: mapping vertices to corresponding chunks, arranging chunks according to the graph’s structure, and validating reachability using an automatic path-finding agent.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Informan penelitian terdiri atas empat pelaku UMKM dan empat pengunjung Pasar Seni To'Pao yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña yang meliputi pengumpulan data, kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pasar Seni To'Pao memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan melalui strategi promosi, antara lain keunikan produk kerajinan khas Toraja, lokasi yang strategis di jalur utama Rantepao-Makale, identitas budaya yang kuat, serta keberadaan pelaku UMKM yang menghasilkan produk berkualitas. Namun, kegiatan promosi masih menghadapi berbagai hambatan, yaitu belum optimalnya pemanfaatan media digital, terbatasnya penyebaran informasi kepada masyarakat, berkurangnya jumlah kios yang aktif beroperasi, tingginya persaingan dengan pusat oleh-oleh lainnya, serta jumlah kunjungan yang belum stabil. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, strategi promosi yang direkomendasikan meliputi optimalisasi promosi digital melalui media sosial, penguatan promosi berbasis budaya Toraja, peningkatan kerja sama dengan pemerintah dan pelaku industri pariwisata, penyelenggaraan kegiatan promosi secara berkala, serta peningkatan kualitas pelayanan dan kenyamanan kawasan. Penerapan strategi tersebut diharapkan mampu meningkatkan jumlah konsumen sekaligus memperkuat posisi Pasar Seni To'Pao sebagai destinasi wisata belanja berbasis budaya di Kabupaten Toraja Utara.
This study aims to identify the potential of To'Pao Art Market that can be utilized as a promotional attraction, analyze the obstacles encountered in implementing promotional activities, and formulate appropriate promotion strategies to increase the number of consumers at To'Pao Art Market in North Toraja Regency. Culture-based art markets have a strategic role in supporting the development of regional tourism and the creative economy, yet many face challenges in attracting consumers due to suboptimal promotion. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research informants consisted of four MSME actors and four visitors to To'Pao Art Market, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that To'Pao Art Market possesses considerable potential to support promotional activities, including the uniqueness of Torajan handicraft products, its strategic location on the main Rantepao-Makale route, a strong cultural identity, and the presence of local MSMEs producing high-quality products. However, promotional activities are constrained by several factors, including the limited utilization of digital media, inadequate dissemination of information to the public, the decreasing number of active kiosks, intense competition with other souvenir centers, and unstable visitor numbers. Based on these findings, the recommended promotion strategies include optimizing digital promotion through social media, strengthening culture-based promotional content highlighting Torajan heritage, enhancing collaboration with the government and tourism stakeholders, organizing promotional and cultural events on a regular basis, and improving service quality and visitor convenience. The implementation of these strategies is expected to increase the number of consumers while strengthening the position of To'Pao Art Market as a cultural shopping destination in North Toraja Regency.

berbasis pengalaman yang mengedepankan nilai emosional, simbolik, dan kultural. Dalam konteks ini, pembelian cinderamata tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai barang konsumsi, tetapi juga sebagai simbol kenangan, identitas budaya, dan representasi pengalaman wisata. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi terhadap lima wisatawan sebagai informan kunci dan lima pelaku UMKM sebagai informan pendukung. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' dipengaruhi oleh empat faktor utama, yaitu faktor budaya, sosial, pribadi, dan psikologis. Faktor budaya dan psikologis merupakan faktor yang paling dominan karena wisatawan memandang cinderamata sebagai representasi budaya Toraja yang autentik dan memiliki makna simbolik. Proses keputusan pembelian berlangsung melalui lima tahapan: pengenalan kebutuhan, pencarian informasi, evaluasi alternatif, keputusan pembelian, dan perilaku pasca pembelian. Wisatawan melakukan pertimbangan terhadap harga, kualitas, keunikan, dan nilai budaya produk sebelum memutuskan membeli. Pengalaman wisata yang positif memberikan pengaruh terhadap kepuasan wisatawan dan mendorong niat membeli ulang serta rekomendasi kepada orang lain. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan fungsional, tetapi juga oleh nilai budaya, pengalaman emosional, dan persepsi wisatawan terhadap keaslian produk budaya Toraja.
Abstract is a brief summary of the paper to help readers quickly determine the main research problem, solutions to solving This study aims to analyze consumer behavior in purchasing decisions of souvenirs at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area in North Toraja Regency. The cultural tourism industry has transformed into an experience-based industry that prioritizes emotional, symbolic, and cultural values. In this context, souvenir purchases serve not only as consumer goods but also as symbols of memories, cultural identity, and representations of tourist experiences. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving five tourists as key informants and five MSME actors as supporting informants. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are influenced by four main factors: cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors. Cultural and psychological factors are the most dominant because tourists perceive souvenirs as authentic representations of Toraja culture with symbolic meaning. The purchase decision process occurs through five stages: need recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. Tourists consider price, quality, uniqueness, and cultural value before deciding to purchase a product. Positive tourism experiences influence tourist satisfaction and encourage repeat purchase intentions and recommendations to others. This study concludes that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are not only influenced by functional needs but also by cultural values, emotional experiences, and tourists' perceptions of the authenticity of Toraja cultural products.

Abstract:This descriptive qualitative research analyzes the effectiveness of policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City. Four indicators from George…
orge C. Edward III's policy implementation theory—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—are employed as the analytical framework. Field data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation were systematically analyzed using the data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings indicate that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City has been running fairly well but has not yet been optimal. In the communication aspect, coordination among implementers has been functioning well; however, information dissemination to target groups and the general public remains suboptimal. In the resources aspect, policy implementation has been supported by human resources, authority, and facilities, yet is still constrained by limited personnel and underutilized facilities and databases. In the disposition aspect, officials demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and a professional attitude in implementing the policy; however, guidance programs have not been able to reach all vagrants and beggars on a sustainable basis. In the bureaucratic structure aspect, policy implementation has been supported by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), clear task distribution, and inter-division coordination; nevertheless, SOP implementation in the field still needs optimization to ensure services reach all target groups. Based on these findings, the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City needs to enhance communication and socialization to target groups, strengthen human resources and supporting facilities, optimize guidance and empowerment programs, and improve inter-agency coordination so that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars can be more effective in improving social welfare.
Abstract:This study is motivated by a fundamental problem concerning how the character-education values contained in the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn can be implemented consistently and meaningfully within Arabic language learning, amid…
amid an intense schedule, a diversity of methods, and the gap between the readiness of learners and educators in the boarding environment. This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of character-education values from the book of Akhlāq Lil Banīn in Arabic language learning activities at the MBS Al Mujahidin Islamic Boarding School, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The method used is qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation; informants were selected by purposive sampling, and data analysis comprised data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the implementation of character values takes place integratively, intensively, and contextually through a combination of formal school activities and non-formal dormitory activities such as mufrodat, hiwar, muhadhoroh, qirā’ah, muḥādatsah, and integrated Arabic learning. These activities not only develop linguistic competence but also serve as a medium for internalizing religious, disciplinary, responsibility, and social-care values through habituation and role modeling. Challenges were also found in the form of differing prior abilities among learners, a dense activity schedule, and the dynamic assignment of educators, all of which affect the absorption and internalization of values. It is concluded that the success of Akhlāq Lil Banīn-based character education depends heavily on pedagogical adaptation, differentiated learning, and management of the activity rhythm.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the financial management strategies implemented by a local property and real estate company in facing conditions of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). The study employed…
a qualitative approach with a single-case study design at PT RBP in Tuban Regency. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with nine informants at strategic, managerial, and operational levels, supported by observation and company documentation. Data were analyzed thematically with the assistance of NVivo, and validity was assessed through source and method triangulation. The findings show that PT RBP implements an adaptive-conservative financial management strategy oriented toward cash-flow stability while maintaining the ability to respond to changes in the business environment. The strategy is realized through the use of internal capital, cash-flow control, phased development, cost monitoring, customer screening, transaction flexibility, and diversification of banks and suppliers. The strategy is reinforced by cross-functional communication and an adaptive organizational culture. The findings indicate that the combination of financial prudence and adaptive capability constitutes an important mechanism for maintaining project continuity, financial stability, and operational resilience amid VUCA pressures.
