To stimulate the economy and ensure employment in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, the Chinese government's policy towards the street vendor economy has transitioned from prohibition to legalization. This paper traces the three distinct historical phases of China's economic policy concerning street stalls in the 21st century, shedding light on the resistance encountered during the process of legalization. Subsequently, it uses policy comparative analysis to explain the legislative transition and the underlying reasons for these changes in three major Chinese metropolises: Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing. The results show that the city's legislative turning and diversion strategies cannot achieve the expected effect. So the paper proffers suggestions for future policy-making. The suggestions include Person-centered place designation, flexible time, and rights protection policy.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140253502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study contends that the government plays a role in the development of challenges in police professionalism that become apparent during democratic elections. In this study, the government achieved this by assigning serving police personnel to civilian political positions, particularly as temporary governors. This study employs a qualitative methodology that entails conducting desk research to analyze secondary data from many sources, such as books, journals, articles, reports, and official documents, with a specific focus on government regulations. The research findings validate that the connection between the police and the regime forms a political alliance between the state and the police, resulting in the police's role and engagement in the political sphere, particularly during elections. Local political competitions in Indonesia are currently experiencing degradation in democratic processes, which has become a notable phenomenon of democratic regression.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138965816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Influence of Innovation Capability and Entrepreneurship Capability on E-Marketing Performance, Mediated by Competitive Advantage, to Enhance Culinary SMEs in Ponorogo","authors":"Alberta Adinata, Muhammad Sholahuddin, R. Kuswati, Wiyadi","doi":"10.32996/jhsss.2023.5.12.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32996/jhsss.2023.5.12.15","url":null,"abstract":"Ponorogo, a well-known culinary center in East Java, is famous for its Ponorogo satay and a variety of other delicious food offerings. In support of culinary businesses, the government consistently arranges exhibitions for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). However, small and medium-sized culinary enterprises in this region face challenges when it comes to improving their ability to innovate, their entrepreneurial skills, and their competitiveness in the realm of online marketing. This research aims to explore the impact of innovation and entrepreneurial capabilities on the performance of e-marketing among these culinary businesses in Ponorogo. It seeks to understand how these capabilities affect the effectiveness of e-marketing and how competitive advantage plays a role in this relationship. To achieve this, the study employs a mixed-method approach, collecting quantitative data through a survey involving 212 randomly selected participants. The gathered data is then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of the SmartPLS 3.0 software application. The study's findings underscore a significant positive association between innovation capability and e-marketing performance, suggesting that SMEs with stronger innovation capabilities tend to achieve better outcomes in e-marketing. Similarly, entrepreneurial capability exhibits a positive correlation with e-marketing performance, indicating that SMEs with a robust entrepreneurial mindset demonstrate enhanced effectiveness in e-marketing. Furthermore, the research reveals that competitive advantage plays a pivotal role as an intermediary between innovation capability, entrepreneurial capability, and e-marketing performance. The implications of this study offer valuable insights for culinary SMEs in Ponorogo, guiding them in refining their e-marketing strategies. By cultivating a culture of innovation and fostering entrepreneurial activities, these SMEs can bolster their competitive advantage, ultimately leading to improved e-marketing performance. Policymakers and industry stakeholders can leverage these findings to develop targeted support programs and initiatives for culinary SMEs, thereby fostering sustainable growth and prosperity in the regional culinary sector.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from previous studies that emphasize aspects of factors, competitive strategies, and ways of adaptation, this paper explains more about their contestation in the public space arena and online media. This paper analyzed it using the concept of Social Network Analysis from Neil Fleigstein (2012), which identifies actor resources and collaborative networks that exist after a contestation situation. Data was collected through mixed methods utilizing digital data using the NVivo, Wordij, and Gephi applications, complemented by in-depth interviews and field observations supplemented by similar literature. Overall, the results show that online motorcycle uses their social skill to develop a strategy for maintaining the resources and access to the market.

The necessity to address environmental harm from a legal and regulatory perspective is highlighted in this survey of the literature from a variety of disciplines that looks at the connections between criminal activity and unsustainable practices in the food business. The analysis delves into foundational works that stress the need for more study on the criminal elements of unsustainable food production, distribution, and consumption. By highlighting the importance of ecological justice and sustainability in regulatory responses, green cultural criminology provides a framework for understanding how environmental harms are criminalized or disregarded within legal systems. According to the study, food fraud is a major problem in the food industry since it uses dangerous or low-quality substances to trick customers. The accidental encouragement of biodiversity loss and ecological disturbance is further highlighted by the connection of illegal wildlife trading with the food business. Age-related environmental crimes such as pesticide abuse, water pollution, and land degradation are major contributors to global environmental deterioration. Context-specific research is essential to address regional issues, but few studies have examined the criminal consequences of unsustainable agriculture systems in Jordan. Increase food supply chain transparency, promote multidisciplinary collaboration, and strengthen regulatory frameworks and enforcement. Ecologically conscientious and secure food systems include fighting food sector corruption, promoting sustainable farming, and raising awareness. To promote environmental stewardship and resilience, it is crucial to identify and address the criminal components of unsustainable food systems. Promoting sustainability, protecting the environment, and guaranteeing global food security all need cooperation between academics, politicians, and stakeholders. Collective action is needed to pave the road toward greener and more secure communities, and establishing sustainable food systems is a crucial first step.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138997836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This PLTP Baturraden case study aimed to observe the relationship between environment, gender, and geothermal energy, especially the impact of geothermal power plant exploration. This research used a qualitative method by collecting primary data through interviews and secondary data through literature studies. This study showed that PLTP Baturraden exploration had negative impacts in 2017-2018 water pollution of Prukut River as a clean water source and directly affected women in Panembangan, Cilongok.

The strategies aimed at the development comprised five core elements, inter alia, 1) land (Perhutani’s properties), 2) technology (Puslitkoka), 3) human power (farmers), 4) orders (policies), and 5) treasury (banking). The development has succeeded in creating modern farmers who are independent in cultivating and processing Arabica coffee by complying with Good Agriculture Processes, Good Handling Processes, and Good Manufacturing techniques. This independence has succeeded in creating quality specialty coffee products with national and international organic certificates that have penetrated the national and international markets.

The great God propounded the issue of the genesis of the humans with the angels on the threshold of creation. The discourse between the great God and the angels has cleared the existence of two opposite capacities in the existence of humans. Molana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, the great anthropologist in the field of culture and civilization of the Persian language, in his works, especially in spiritual Mathnavi by relying on the Holy Qur'an and other religious sources, has launched, on the one hand, what the human nature is. And on the other hand, has pinpointed the issue of what humans should be. The ultimate goal of Molana in this book is just one thing: concentration on humankind and his destiny, and the secret of the immortality of Masnawi has been hidden on this subject. Molana is considered one of the greatest anthropologists in the culture and civilization of the Persian language. His works, including the Masnavi and the Divan-e Shams, are renowned for their deep insights into human behavior and the complexities of human relationships. Rumi's anthropological approach to literature and poetry has influenced generations of scholars and writers, and his ideas continue to be studied and celebrated around the world. Through his unique perspective on the human experience, Rumi has left an indelible mark on the field of anthropology and our understanding of culture and civilization. This article aims to search for the image of such a human in Rumi's system of thought and to address some of Jalaluddin Mohammad's anthropological characteristics, which have been discussed in detail in spiritual Masnavi. In this article, after considering the nature of humans, there are hints and references to the human being in the outlook of gnostic, but the main effort has been to draw a more tangible and realistic figure that reflected on some verses of Masnavi, which can be attainable and observable in every age and time.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138585026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine the feasibility of social work intervention, this study employed social network theory elaboration and a literature review. The study observed that social work intervention not only offers economic support, skills training and social networking opportunities to small traders but also enables their personal growth and social integration. Nonetheless, this study discovered resource, policy and cultural limitations that impede the effective professional intervention of social work.
