EVALUASI KEBIJAKAN PENGADAAN TANAH DI KABUPATEN BANDUNG

This research aims to evaluate the success of land procurement policies in the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Development Project carried out by the Land Office of Bandung Regency. The method employed is a qualitative approach using a descriptive method that delineates specific circumstances from the emerging facts during the research process without altering the observed phenomena. The evaluation encompasses several indicators, including Inputs, processes, Outputs, and outcomes. Several issues identified include suboptimal planning, constraints in land relocation, land acquisition methods following a Business to Business (B to B) pattern, community dissatisfaction, delayed land payments, land measurement errors, insufficient comprehensive socialization, and inadequate coordination in addressing on-site issues. The research findings indicate that the implementation of Land Procurement Policies for the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Development Project by the Land Office of Bandung Regency has yielded moderately satisfying results across most indicators. However, shortcomings exist in slow and unclear information dissemination to the public, low intensity in policy socialization influenced by third parties directly engaging the community, coordination and authority overlap issues between policy implementers and project executors, challenges in facility relocation, emerging land disputes, and additional land route adjustments beyond the initial planning requiring further attention. Hence, it is recommended to enhance information distribution and broader, more intensive policy socialization, improve coordination and collaboration with relevant parties, implement structured dispute resolution, and enhance precision in reviewing planning documents. Keywords: Policy Evaluation; Land Procurement; High-Speed Railway.

Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Kepala Sekolah dan Kompetensi Guru terhadap Kinerja Guru melalui Motivasi Guru

The performance of teachers plays a vital role in shaping the standards of education and the prospects of future generations. This research reveals a comprehensive analysis of the impact of School Principal leadership and teacher competence on teacher performance through teacher motivation in Kindergarten schools in the Cilengkrang Sub-District, Bandung Regency. The research methodology involves both descriptive and inferential methods, with 46 teachers participating as samples. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS4 software with path analysis. The main findings indicate that School Principal leadership significantly influences teacher performance, while teacher competence does not have a significant effect on teacher performance.

VLF-EM data conversion into apparent resistivity using the Hilbert transform and its application for shallow fault investigation at Pinggirsari, Bandung Regency, Indonesia

This research presented the ability of the Hilbert transformation of The Very Low Frequency-Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) data to investigate the presence of faults. VLF-EM data was collected in the Pinggirsari village area, Arjasari District, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Through the Hilbert transformation, the VLF-EM data was converted into apparent resistivity data and then inverted into a resistivity cross-section. For comparison, qualitative interpretation was also conducted using both the Fraser and the Karous-Hjelt filters. Interpretation results using both the Fraser and Karous-Hjelt filters indicate the presence of faults through tilt-angle curve peaks and apparent current density anomalies. The resistivity cross-section resulting from the Occam inversion of the apparent resistivity data, derived from the Hilbert transformation, accurately delineated fault positions. Resistivity changes around 700–800 m indicated fault proximity to a depth of approximately 150 m, with a good match to the geological map. Within a distance of 0–700 m, low resistivity values were associated with the Malabar tuff, while >700 m, higher resistivity values were associated with the Waringin-Bedil andesite. The Hilbert transform helps in clarifying VLF data interpretation for precise fault detection through resistivity parameters.
