Purpose: This study aims to 1) describe youth attitudes toward tourist village management and 2) analyse the factors influencing these attitudes. Methodology/approach: This study employs a mixed-methods approach, primarily quantitative with qualitative support. Using purposive sampling, we selected 71 respondents meeting the following criteria: aged 17-45 years, current residency status (non-travelers), employment status (working or unemployed), marital status (unmarried). Results/findings: The study revealed three key findings: 1) Youth attitudes toward tourism village business management were generally positive, with the affective dimension being most prominent; 2) Five factors significantly influenced these attitudes: individual characteristics, entrepreneurial traits, social learning, environmental support, and motivation. These factors collectively explained 49.4% of the variance in youth attitudes. Conclusions: Although youth maintain positive beliefs and evaluations regarding tourist village business management, this does not necessarily translate into their intention to engage in more formal contexts. Other determining factors come into consideration, including potential benefits and work flexibility. Limitations: This study does not account for tourism village infrastructure conditions, which may be significant predictors of youth attitudes toward tourism village business management. The quantitative design may overlook nuanced motivational factors. We recommend that future research employ FGD to examine youth motivations in greater depth qualitatively. Contribution: The village government can implement a two-pronged strategy to foster youth entrepreneurship: 1) Establish Village Youth Business Groups, 2) Create Experiential Learning Opportunities. This approach combines structural support with social learning, increasing capability and motivation.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the strengthening of sub-district organizations through the increase in honorary staff and its impact on government performance in South Tangerang City. Strengthening sub-district organizations is a key aspect of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of local government administration. Honorary staff, as supporting resources at the sub-district level, play a strategic role in enhancing organizational capacity. Methodology/approach: The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on South Tangerang City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving participants from various sub-districts. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to explore the perspectives on the relationship between the increase in honorary staff, the strengthening of sub-district organizations, and government performance. Results/findings: The findings indicate that an increase in honorary staff significantly contributes to strengthening sub-district organizations, which in turn positively impacts government performance at the sub-district level. Conclusion: The study concludes that increasing honorary staff strengthens sub-district organizations and improves government performance. However, sustainable outcomes require integrated policies ensuring status certainty, ongoing training, and a supportive work environment. Limitations: The study focuses only on sub-district organizations in South Tangerang City, and the results may not be generalizable to other regions with different governance structures. Contribution: This research provides important policy implications for optimizing human resources at the sub-district level to enhance public services and improve governance.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) in the integration of public services, particularly in the licensing sector at the Housing, Settlement, and Land Agency (Perkimta) of South Tangerang City, as well as to identify the main supporting and inhibiting factors. Methodology/approach: This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with Perkimta officials, direct observation of service processes, and analysis of relevant policy documents. Results/findings: Findings show that the implementation of SPBE has successfully integrated various licensing services into an integrated digital platform, significantly accelerating the process of permit application, verification, and issuance. The results of the study show that integrated licensing services greatly assist the administrative processes of the South Tangerang government. Conclusions: The study concludes that SPBE implementation in the Perkimta licensing sector enhances efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public services. Integrated digital systems simplify procedures and improve public trust, though sustained success depends on human resources readiness, infrastructure, and digital literacy. Limitations: This study focuses specifically on Perkimta licensing services in South Tangerang City, and these findings may not be fully applicable to other government agencies or regions with different levels of digital readiness. The time frame of the study also limits the assessment of long-term sustainability impacts. Contribution: This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and government agencies implementing digital transformation initiatives. It highlights the importance of simultaneous investment in technology infrastructure, human resource capacity building, and public digital literacy programs. The study also offers practical recommendations for improving system interoperability and data security in e-government services.
