Financial literacy plays a vital role in enhancing family well-being, particularly in the management of household income and expenditures. As the primary managers of household finances, homemakers need to possess a sound understanding of prudent financial management. This educational program was designed to provide and enhance financial literacy for homemakers who are members of the PKK organization in Mijen Village, Kebonagung District, Demak Regency. The implementation methods included the delivery of financial literacy materials accompanied by relevant examples, interactive discussions and question-and-answer sessions, as well as the provision of financial strategy recommendations aimed at achieving household financial well-being. The results of the program indicate that the core materials can be categorized into financial literacy enhancement, effective financial management, and investment (saving). The majority of participants allocate approximately 70% to 80% of their income to routine expenditures, while the remaining portion is used for non-routine needs and investments or savings.

This study analyzes community organizations located in the buffer zone of the Jragung River in Demak Regency, which is legally a protected area under Indonesian spatial planning and water management regulations. The primary issue discussed is the continued presence of these organizations in the river boundary area despite clear laws, specifically those stipulated in Demak Regency Regulation Number 6 of 2011, Article 83 paragraph (3), which prohibits development within the river buffer zone, and Law Number 1 of 2011, Article 140, which restricts housing development outside the designated community organization area. These regulations stipulate a minimum distance of five meters from river embankments in areas outside the urban zone. This study aims to explore solutions to these problems. It uses an empirical legal method with a descriptive approach. The legal analysis focuses on the laws and regional regulations governing the river buffer zone, while empirical data is obtained through field observations and interviews with residents living along the Jragung River. Findings indicate that organizations in the river buffer zone developed gradually due to inherited land ownership, economic constraints, strong social continuity with the settlement, and weak government oversight and legal dissemination. While relocation provides hydrological and ecological benefits, it also poses significant social and economic challenges for affected communities. In contrast, river engineering measures, such as river channel straightening and embankment construction, are considered more feasible in the study area because they reduce disaster risk without causing significant social disruption.

Dredging and marine sand export activities in Indonesia have raised concerns about their impacts on marine environmental quality and regulatory certainty in sedimentation management. This study examines the legal and technical aspects of marine sedimentation management policies, focusing on the implementation of Government Regulation No. 26 of 2023 on Marine Sedimentation Management and Government Regulation No. 31 of 2021 on Shipping. The legal review evaluates the coherence of these regulations with higher legal frameworks, including Law No. 32 of 2014 on Marine Affairs, the Job Creation Law, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982), and international standards from the Oslo-Paris (OSPAR) Convention. The analysis reveals that PP 26/2023 and PP 31/2021 still exhibit vertical inconsistencies, overlapping institutional mandates, and limited alignment with international marine governance principles. Technically, this study analyzes changes in water turbidity using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and the Normalized Difference Turbidity Index (NDTI) across four priority areas: Pulau Karimun Besar, Demak Regency, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, and Surabaya City. The findings indicate a strong, statistically significant correlation between NDTI values and marine sand export volume in Pulau Karimun Besar (r = 0.99; p = 0.0005), while other locations show weaker, non-significant correlations. These results highlight the need to integrate legal reform with spatially informed technical monitoring to enhance sustainable sedimentation management in Indonesia’s coastal waters.

Tension and stress during competition often lead to changes in psychological functioning, such as reduced concentration, loss of focus, increased anxiety, or, from a somatic perspective, increased muscle tension. Mental health can be affected by tension, which is seen as a result of physical interactions. Self-talk is a "strategy" employed by every athlete, whether verbalized or simply thought. Muscle tension is generally associated with stress, anxiety, and fear, as part of a process that helps our bodies prepare for potentially dangerous situations. The methods used included psychological education on self-talk and progressive muscle relaxation, progressive muscle relaxation practice, discussions, mentoring, and data collection on the athletes' mental health. The results of the community service research, as shown in the table, categorize 11 swimmers based on their mental health: 6 athletes categorized as moderate, and 5 athletes as low. Athletes with moderate mental health are considered to have good emotional, psychological, and social well-being, which influences how a person thinks, feels, and acts, including their ability to cope with the pressures of competition. Conversely, athletes with low mental health are classified as having good mental health.

This study analyzes the influence of Teamwork and Work Environment on Employee Performance and examines the role of Job Satisfaction as an intervening variable at the Demak District Health Office. The approach used is quantitative with PLS-SEM analysis on 131 respondents. The results of the R-Square test show that Teamwork and Work Environment are able to explain Job Satisfaction by 68.9% and Employee Performance by 69.1%. The Q² value for Job Satisfaction (0.671) and Employee Performance (0.598) indicates a strong predictive ability of the model. The examination of direct effects reveals that both Teamwork and the Work Environment positively and notably influence Job Satisfaction and Employee Performance. Additionally, Job Satisfaction itself significantly impacts Employee Performance. The analysis of indirect effects demonstrates that Teamwork (p = 0. 003) and the Work Environment (p = 0. 001) significantly affect Employee Performance, with Job Satisfaction acting as a mediator. This finding confirms that a conducive work environment and good teamwork increase job satisfaction and have an impact on improving employee performance.

This study aims to design and build a population distribution application in Demak Regency in 2025 using a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. The study focuses on three main variables: population, population density, and population growth rate per sub-district. The author used the research method of collecting data and references that can later strengthen the results of this study and the application design using the waterfall model. Non-spatial data, namely data in the form of population information, was obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Demak Regency, while spatial data is data related to regional administrative boundaries. Data processing was carried out using QGIS 2.18 through the stages of joining attributes, classification using the Natural Breaks (Jenks) method, and thematic map creation. The results show that population distribution is uneven. Demak Kota, Karangtengah, and Sayung sub-districts have the highest number and density, while coastal sub-districts such as Wedung and Bonang have low densities. The highest population growth rate is in Karangtengah sub-district at 0.8%. The application of GIS has proven effective in visualizing population distribution and supporting spatial-based regional development planning.

Flooding is a recurrent issue in coastal and lowland areas of Indonesia, including Demak Regency. Low-lying topography, tidal influence, and land subsidence contribute to increased flood susceptibility. This study aims to analyze flood susceptibility in Demak Regency based on the spatial distribution of flood-affected villages using a Geographic Information System. The study utilizes secondary data on flood-affected villages obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics, combined with administrative boundary spatial data processed using QGIS. The analysis is conducted through thematic mapping to identify spatial patterns of flood-prone areas. The results show that northern coastal districts, especially Sayung, Bonang, and Mranggen, exhibit higher flood susceptibility compared to other districts. These findings indicate that GIS-based spatial analysis can support the identification of flood-prone areas as an initial reference for flood mitigation planning.

Mangrove forests are vital coastal ecosystems that protect shorelines and help maintain coastal environmental balance. Mangrove forests undergo changes every year due to degradation or restoration, so monitoring needs to be carried out. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of mangrove density in Demak Regency from 2020 to 2025 using Sentinel-2 imagery and the CART (Classification and Regression Tree) algorithm processed through the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Six spectral indices were used as classification inputs, namely NDVI, NDWI, MVI, MI, AMMI, and CMRI. AMMI is the best index in identifying mangroves as a whole, both in narrow and large areas. Based on classification, the mangrove cover area has been restored or significantly increased from 1644.011 ha in 2020 to 2530.522 ha in 2025. The largest increase occurred in the high canopy density class of 960.157 ha. Meanwhile, the medium and low canopy density classes showed a decrease in area. Accuracy assesment showed an overall accuracy value of 99.92% for 2020 and 99.91% for 2025, with kappa accuracy above 97% in both years. These results show that the classification method with the support of cloud computing can be relied on in spatiotemporal monitoring of mangrove changes efficiently and accurately.

Within the broader history of Islamic civilization in Java, ritual traditions such as Grebek Besar have functioned as key sites for the transmission, reinterpretation, and embodiment of Islamic ethical and theological values. This study examines the cultural and theological dimensions of the Grebek Besar festival in Demak Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, one of the most significant Islamic cultural events in Java. Rooted in the commemoration of Eid al-Adha, the festival embodies a dynamic synthesis between Islamic doctrine and Javanese cultural expression. Previous studies have largely treated Grebek Besar as a folkloric or historical tradition, without adequately examining its lived-theological meanings as articulated by local religious actors and enacted in everyday ritual practices. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, this study is based on participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders and community elders, and analysis of local archives and manuscripts. The findings are consolidated into a central thematic claim: Grebek Besar functions as a form of lived Islamic theology in which ritual performances, symbolic objects, and communal participation operate as interconnected mechanisms that sustain religious piety, social cohesion, and cultural continuity among Javanese Muslims. The study demonstrates that the festival is not merely a cultural celebration, but a ritualized space of Islamic devotion embedded in local custom. Processions, communal prayers, and food-sharing practices are shown to carry theological meanings that reinforce the community’s relationship with God while affirming collective historical memory and identity. This research makes a specific scholarly contribution by proposing an empirically grounded framework of “lived theology” in Javanese Islam, bridging normative Islamic theological concepts such as syukr and ukhuwah with anthropological analyses of ritual, symbolism, and collective memory, and thereby advancing interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Islam and local religiosity in Indonesia. Dalam sejarah panjang peradaban Islam di Jawa, tradisi ritual seperti Grebek Besar berfungsi sebagai ruang penting bagi transmisi, reinterpretasi, dan perwujudan nilai-nilai etika dan teologi Islam. Berfokus pada tradisi ini, penelitian ini mengkaji dimensi kultural dan teologis dari festival Grebek Besar di Kabupaten Demak, Jawa Tengah, yang merupakan salah satu perayaan budaya Islam paling signifikan di Jawa. Berakar pada peringatan Iduladha, festival ini merepresentasikan sintesis dinamis antara ajaran Islam dan ekspresi budaya Jawa. Kajian-kajian sebelumnya umumnya memandang Grebek Besar sebagai tradisi folklorik atau peristiwa historis, tanpa menelaah secara memadai makna teoretis teologi yang hidup dalam praktik sosial dan ritual (lived theology) sebagaimana dimaknai oleh aktor-aktor keagamaan lokal dan diwujudkan dalam praktik ritual sehari-hari. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif etnografis, penelitian ini didasarkan pada observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam dengan tokoh agama dan sesepuh masyarakat, serta analisis arsip dan manuskrip lokal. Temuan penelitian ini dirumuskan dalam satu klaim tematik utama, yaitu bahwa Grebek Besar berfungsi sebagai bentuk teologi Islam yang dihidupi, di mana pertunjukan ritual, objek simbolik, dan partisipasi komunal saling terhubung sebagai mekanisme yang menopang kesalehan religius, kohesi sosial, dan kesinambungan budaya di kalangan Muslim Jawa. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Grebek Besar bukan sekadar perayaan budaya, melainkan ruang ritual devosional Islam yang tertanam dalam adat lokal. Arak-arakan, doa bersama, dan praktik berbagi makanan mengandung makna teologis yang memperkuat relasi komunitas dengan Tuhan sekaligus meneguhkan memori historis dan identitas kolektif. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi ilmiah dengan mengajukan kerangka teoretis lived theology dalam konteks Islam Jawa yang berlandaskan data empiris, dengan menjembatani konsep-konsep teologi Islam normatif seperti syukr dan ukhuwah dengan analisis antropologis mengenai ritual, simbolisme, dan memori kolektif, sehingga memperkaya pendekatan interdisipliner dalam kajian Islam dan religiusitas lokal di Indonesia.

Coastal areas represent a dynamic and productive intersection between land and sea, characterized by unique ecosystems such as estuaries, mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. However, these areas face significant environmental challenges, including silting, climate change, land subsidence, and pollution, exacerbated by human activities like resource extraction and industrial development.

This study addresses the issue of disaster vulnerability in Demak Regency, an area highly exposedto tidal flooding, coastal erosion, and extreme weather. The objective of the research is toformulate a community participation-based disaster education model that strengthenspreparedness and resilience at the local level. Theoretically, the study draws on disaster riskreduction frameworks emphasizing community empowerment, participatory education, andintegration of local wisdom. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitativeZ-score analysis of disaster data from 2020–2022 with qualitative thematic analysis using NVivoto assess literature, policy documents, and community practices. The results reveal that disasterhazards in Demak are spatially varied: Sayung District is categorized as high-hazard, Guntur asmedium, while twelve other sub-districts fall into the low category. These findings highlight thenecessity of contextualized disaster education tailored to specific local hazards. The proposedmodel integrates schools, communities, and cultural traditions to enhance disaster literacy, fostersocial cohesion, and improve adaptive capacity. The conclusion emphasizes that a participatory,location-specific education framework is more effective than uniform approaches and can bereplicated in other disaster-prone regions. The novelty of this study lies in combining empiricalhazard mapping with community participation principles to design a disaster education modelthat is both data-driven and socially embedded, thereby bridging gaps between statistical riskassessment and local educational practice.

Indonesia as an archipelago with the second longest coastline in the world is very vulnerable to coastal disasters, one of which is tidal flooding caused by sea level rise. This research examines the community’s adaptation strategy in facing tidal floods and its impact on regional resilience, with a focus on Bedono Village, Sayung Subdistrict, Demak Regency. This research used descriptive qualitative methods through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. The results showed that tidal floods have changed the physical, economic, social, and environmental conditions of the community, triggering vulnerability and reducing regional resilience. Adaptation strategies carried out by the community include physical adaptation (modification of houses and infrastructure), economic (change of profession), and social (adjustment of social activities and education). However, these adaptations are still limited due to low community capacity and lack of government support. The main constraints faced are the increasing intensity of tidal flooding, low strategic value of the village, limited local government budget, and lack of infrastructure. Tidal flooding has negatively impacted five of the eight dimensions of regional resilience, namely geography, natural resources, demography, economy, and socio-culture. However, the ideological, political, and security dimensions remain stable. This research emphasizes the importance of cross-sectoral support and long-term policies to strengthen the resilience of disaster-affected coastal areas.
