Significance, gaps, and prospects of foresight – lessons from Indonesia

Purpose This study aims to explore some significance, gaps and prospects of foresight both for and as policy in planning and decision-making, as well as an instrument for enhancing the capacity of planners and decision makers in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This study deploys a case study method deriving from the authors’ experience in conducting a series of foresight workshops and trainings in Indonesia. The workshops, which involved government officials from the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) and the Coordinating Ministry of Investment and Maritime Affairs (KemenkoMarves), were designed with two agendas. First, to apply foresight in the actual process of policy cascading for the formulation of the national long and mid-term development plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Nasional (RPJPN) and Rencana embangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN)). Second, from the process itself, to improve the capacity of government officials in decision-making by using a more explorative method of planning. Findings The result shows that foresight proves to be a useful method that enables a more systematic exploration of events, trends and eventually drivers with which plausible future scenarios could be explored, thus leading to more adaptive policies. With regard to the prospect, foresight is seen as a more inclusive and participatory-based approach, which embraces a robust democratised process of policy construction. However, the practice is also challenging in its nature. Government officials have been prolongedly familiar with positivistic methods, hence considering the application of foresight as an endeavour of a new academic culture of planning, which requires them more time, resources and pondering. Research limitations/implications Considering the methodological prospect and the intrinsic uncertainty of the future, this paper argues the need to nurture planners and decision makers to have the capacity to design more adaptive policies as offered by explorative methods like foresight. Consequently, this is also a call for the Indonesian Government to recognise the significance of the method and to provide relevant institutional support for wider practice, or exploration at the least. However, as a note of limitation, the workshops were conducted only with government officials, thus the result should only represent the point of view of the public sector. Originality/value This paper contributes to the progress of foresight studies by presenting an original case study of the practice in Indonesia. The foresight workshops were facilitated by the authors, thus the insights brought in this paper derive from the first-hand experience of the authors. Moreover, as foresight is considered as a new endeavour in Indonesia, this paper helps provide a key novelty unfolding the reliability and prospect of foresight as an instrument for planning and decision-making.

Legal Protection Against Subrogation Without an Authentic Deed as a Binding Agreement in Banking Practices in Indonesia

The practice of subrogation without an authentic deed in the Indonesian banking sector creates significant legal uncertainty. This research analyses the impact of the practice on legal protection for new creditors, particularly in the context of legal protection theory proposed by Isnaeni. This paper uses a normative research method with a literature study approach. The literature study approach is carried out by collecting and analysing secondary data relevant to the research topic. The secondary data can be in the form of primary legal materials which include: laws, regulations, and jurisprudence related to subrogation, authentic deeds, and agreements. Secondary legal materials include books, scientific journals, articles, and other scientific papers. The data collection techniques used in this research are literature searches by conducting literature searches in libraries, the internet, and other sources to obtain primary and secondary legal materials relevant to the research topic and document studies by studying and analysing primary and secondary legal materials that have been collected. The results show that the absence of a notarial deed as authentic evidence makes it difficult to prove the existence of a subrogation agreement, thus hampering the efforts of new creditors to obtain their rights. The form of internal legal protection is by collecting various evidence such as correspondence, witnesses, and transaction evidence. Meanwhile, external legal protection can also be done by filing a tort lawsuit in court. This research also recommends the need to improve regulations and increase legal awareness to overcome these problems.

Islamic Law Review of Sharia Cooperative Practices in Indonesia

Value Relevance of Accrual Information in Public Sector: Facts from Practices

ABSTRACT Accrual accounting plays a crucial role in the public sector as it enhances the efficiency of asset utilization. However, much of existing research focuses more on the theoretical ideals rather than the practical realities of its implementation. This research aims to bridge this gap by examining the practical evidence to assess the value relevance of accrual information within the public sector. The findings of this research reveal that managers and public officials in Indonesia consider information relevant when it is simple, easy to understand, and frequently utilized. This research demonstrates that accrual accounting practices in Indonesia predominantly exhibit mimetic behavior.

Sharenting Ethics in Indonesian Family Communication Through Cultural Values of Digital Parenting

This research examines the phenomenon of sharenting (sharing-parenting) in the Indonesian cultural context, focusing on how traditional values influence digital parenting practices. This research uses a comprehensive literature study methodology to analyse the intersection between local wisdom and digital communication ethics in care. This study reveals that Indonesian parents practice sharenting through three main cultural pillars: harmony, unggah ungguh, and tepo seliro. These values significantly shape how information about children is shared on social media, creating patterns that differ from Western individualistic approaches. The findings show that parenting practices in Indonesia's digital era are firmly rooted in collective cultural values, where sharing information about children is not simply seen as personal documentation but as part of communal responsibility. This research identifies unique challenges in balancing traditional values with digital privacy concerns, especially in how Indonesian parents interpret and implement privacy boundaries within their collective cultural framework. This study contributes to developing a culturally sensitive ethical framework for digital parenting in Indonesia, emphasizing a balance between traditional values and modern digital practices. Findings suggest practical sharing guidelines in Indonesia must integrate collective cultural values while addressing contemporary digital privacy concerns. Furthermore, this research proposes practical recommendations for implementing culturally appropriate digital literacy programs and developing policies that protect children's interests while respecting traditional family values.

Correlation of nurses' perception of spirituality and spiritual care with spiritual care practices in Indonesia: A cross-sectional survey.

Spiritual care is essential to nursing practice, contributing to holistic patient care. However, the relationship between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care with their engagement in spiritual care practices remains underexplored, particularly in Indonesia. Understanding this relationship is crucial for enhancing the quality of care provided to patients. This study aimed to examine the correlation between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care with their spiritual care practices in Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving a total of 300 nurses working in healthcare facilities across Indonesia. Data were collected via an online survey conducted from March to May 2024, using validated questionnaires: the Indonesian adaptation of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) and the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutic Scale (NSCTS). Spearman Rank Correlation was used to assess the relationship between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and their engagement in spiritual care practices. The study found that nurses held a positive perception of spirituality, with a mean score of 3.85 (SD = 0.41) regarding statements related to spirituality and spiritual care. However, they reported providing spiritual care only occasionally, with an average frequency of 3-6 times over a 72 to 80-hour work period. There was a significant positive correlation (r = 0.235, p <0.001) of nurses' perception of spirituality and spiritual care with their engagement in spiritual care practices. The study highlights the need for targeted education and training to enhance nurses' competencies in spiritual care practices. Addressing spiritual needs is vital for holistic patient care, and improving nurses' perceptions and practices in this area can significantly benefit patient well-being.

The Triple Bottom Line: Prioritizing CSR, Human Capital, and GHG Reduction for Sustainable Economic Growth in Indonesia

Our study, which covered the years 2008 to 2022, aimed to create “autoregressive vectors” to investigate the interrelationships between corporate social responsibility (CSR), greenhouse gas net (GHG), human capital (HCPT), and human resources in Indonesia. We used data from the World Bank, OECD, and Bank Republic Indonesia to conduct an analysis of the correlation between these variables. Our results showed that there are significant relationships between corporate governance self-assessment (CGS), GHG, and HCPT in Indonesia. The positive correlation between GHG and CGS suggests that as GHG emissions increase, the level of corporate governance self-assessment also increases. This finding implies that companies that prioritize reducing GHG emissions tend to have better corporate governance practices. Moreover, investing in reducing GHG emissions can have a positive impact on human capital development. However, the negative correlation between HCPT and CGS implies that an increase in human capital may result in a decrease in the level of corporate governance self-assessment. This finding highlights the importance of balancing investments in human capital with maintaining good corporate governance practices to ensure sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, promoting corporate social responsibility can enhance companies’ reputation and increase their brand value, which can positively impact their CGS. Therefore, it is essential for companies to prioritize CSR practices, invest in human capital development, and reduce GHG emissions to ensure sustainable economic growth and maintain good corporate governance practices in Indonesia.

Questioning Sustainable Environmental Policies and Practices in Indonesia: Would Durkheim’s Structural Functionalism Theory Have a Relevance?

Indonesia, as a signatory to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These commitments, outlined in Law Number 16 of 2016, include limiting global temperature rise, setting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets, and developing a long-term strategy for net zero emissions by 2050. To meet these obligations, the Indonesian government has introduced Carbon Economic Value (CEV) policies through Presidential Regulation Number 98 of 2021. These policies aim to reduce GHG emissions by implementing carbon pricing mechanisms such as carbon trading, levies, and performance-based payments. However, the implementation of CEV policies has faced various reactions, including criticism and resistance. Despite these challenges, it's imperative not to hinder the policy's implementation, given its potential to drive significant societal and lifestyle changes towards a greener future. This study analyzes Indonesia's progress in reducing GHG emissions through CEV policies. Using normative legal research and qualitative analysis, it explores the positive impacts of these policies, including their alignment with structural functionalism theory. The study highlights that the implementation of CEV policies as an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Indonesia through carbon trading mechanisms, carbon taxes, and funding partnerships with developed countries aligns with structural functionalism theory according to Emile Durkheim. This is evidenced by the existence of a clear system (legal and governance) in implementing CEV policies, including regulators (Government), implementers (SOEs, private sector, and society), supervisors (UNFCCC), and program donors (World Bank, IMF), where each entity cooperates in an organized manner in accordance with the provisions of the Paris Agreement 2015 and Presidential Regulation 98 of 2021 continuously according to their respective tasks. This policy also brings about functional social change by promoting a harmonious balance to shift dependence away from fossil fuels towards more environmentally friendly Renewable Energy sources.

Balancing faith and identity: language policies and practices in Indonesian Muslim families

ABSTRACT This study investigates the complex interplay between language policies, religious beliefs, and cultural identity within two Indonesian Muslim families, residing in urban and rural contexts. Given Indonesia’s diverse linguistic landscape, with over 700 languages spoken, this research examines how religious beliefs and cultural identity shape their language ideology and their utilisation of the Indonesian language, local languages, and Arabic within Indonesian Muslim families. This research fills a gap, as there is limited literature on this topic in Indonesia. Through a case study design, including semi-structured interviews with two families in different contexts, the study explores language use for daily communication, cultural preservation, and religious practices. Findings reveal that the urban family members prioritise the Indonesian language for broader communication, while the rural family members maintain stronger ties to local languages to preserve their cultural identity. Their religious convictions place Arabic as a language designated for religious purposes rather than for daily communication. The study underscores the significance of religious beliefs in shaping language choices and highlights the challenges and strategies to preserve cultural identity and religious devotion. This research contributes to the understanding of how faith and cultural identity influence language ideology and practices in Indonesia’s multilingual society.

Donor human milk practice in Indonesia: a media content analysis.

Donor human milk (DHM) is recommended as the second-best alternative form of supplementation when a mother is unable to breastfeed directly. However, little is known about the experience of mothers and families in the communities regarding accessing and donating expressed breastmilk in Indonesia. This study aimed to identify the experience related to donor human milk in the society in Indonesia. A search was conducted through six main online news portals. The keywords used included "donor human milk," "expressed breastmilk," and "wet nursing" in the Indonesian language, Bahasa Indonesia. A total of 107 articles were found, but only 20 articles were included for analysis using a qualitative media content analysis approach. In the study, the following five themes were identified: (1) the whys and wherefores of donor human milk, (2) national and religious-based regulations, (3) recommendations from authorized organizations, healthcare professionals, and Islamic scholars, (4) the negative impact from the lack of national regulations, and (5) contradictory feelings among mothers. With the lack of detailed information on how to access or donate expressed human milk and the absence of a human milk bank in place, informal human milk sharing is inevitably occurring in the community. This has also raised concerns among authorized organizations, healthcare professionals, and Islamic scholars. Consequently, mothers, both donors and recipients, experienced negative impacts, which included contradictory feelings. Engaging with Islamic scholars and healthcare professionals to develop clear guidelines and regulations to enable mothers' and families' access and/or make contributions to DHM in a safe and accountable way is critical to prevent further problems from occurring in Indonesian society.

Adolescent Executive Function Measurements in Indonesia : Systematic Review and Implications in Educational Settings

This study examines the landscape of executive function (EF) assessments for Indonesian adolescents, focusing on their psychometric properties. The adolescent development phase, marked by cognitive growth, presents opportunities and risks, especially in education settings where well-developed EF is beneficial. This research used a qualitative approach, with a systematic literature review method using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis), analyzing peer-reviewed empirical studies from databases such as SCOPUS and others, focusing on EF measurements for adolescents in Indonesia from 2014 to 2024. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, highlighting tools like the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF)-Indonesian version, Executive Skills Questionnaire-Revised (ESQ-R), Executive Function Questionnaire (EFQ), and performance-based measures like the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Stroop Test. Using content analysis, this study reveals that while the BRIEF is widely used in clinical studies, its applicability in educational settings requires improvement. The findings highlight the importance of adapting EF tools with cultural sensitivity and developing new comprehensive assessments with clear psychometric properties regarding all critical EF components. In recommendations, the study pinpoints a multi-method approach combining inventory-based and performance-based measures to provide a thorough understanding of EF while maintaining practicality for educational settings. The implications for advancing EF research and practice in Indonesia, particularly in education, are discussed, emphasizing the need for reliable, valid, culturally sensitive, and accessible assessment tools.

THE INFLUENCE OF AUDIT DELAY, SIZE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, AUDIT OPINION, AND MANAGEMENT CHANGE ON AUDITOR SWITCHING

This study explores the impact of audit delay, the size of public accounting firms, audit opinions, and management changes on auditor switching among companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research aims to identify the key factors that influence a company's decision to switch auditors. Using logistic regression analysis and secondary data from financial reports, the study introduces a unique approach by simultaneously analyzing four independent variables, which is rarely done in prior studies. The results reveal that audit delay and management changes significantly affect auditor switching, while the size of public accounting firms and audit opinions do not have a significant impact. The findings suggest that operational and managerial factors play a more critical role in auditor switching decisions compared to financial factors. Theoretically, the study supports the relevance of agency theory in explaining auditor switching, particularly in addressing conflicts of interest between management and shareholders. Practically, these results provide valuable insights for company management when deciding to switch auditors and highlight the importance for regulators to implement policies that enhance transparency and audit quality, strengthening corporate governance practices in Indonesia.

ANALISIS INTEGRASI MATERI SEJARAH DAN KEBERAGAMAAN DALAM PRAKTIK PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA

This research is motivated by Indonesia's long history based on diversity of cultures, languages, religions, ethnicities, races, and customs. The integration of historical and religious materials in educational practices in Indonesia aims to understand the learning content that will shape the character of students as grassroots individuals with a nationalist spirit and religious moral values. In this study, the author employs a qualitative literature approach by collecting various relevant data sources. The theory of multicultural education, consisting of five elements: content integration, understanding the construction process of knowledge, reducing prejudice, equity pedagogy, and strengthening school culture as well as social structure by James A. Banks, serves as the analytical foundation for this research. The results indicate that historical materials also contain teachings on being tolerant and open to various differences in race, ethnicity, tribe, and culture. History learning that incorporates religious practices will create a harmonious environment by applying the principles of mutual respect, equality, and togetherness.
