Optimization of Cold Chain Distribution Network in Fisheries Logistics Using Green Field Analysis and Network Optimization: A Case Study of PT. X
Abstract The fisheries logistics system requires efficient cold chain management to maintain product quality while minimizing distribution costs. PT. X in Indramayu faces operational challenges, including low utilization of cold storage capacity, long distribution distances to major markets, and high logistics costs. This study aims to provide recommendations for the most operationally and financially advantageous distribution center (DC) location and network configuration. The research employs approach combined with Green Field Analysis (GFA) and Network Optimization (NO) using the anyLogistix software, with historical data from 2025 used as model inputs. The simulation results indicate that selecting an appropriate DC configuration can improve distribution efficiency, reduce total logistics costs, and enhance customer service levels without increasing operational risk. The novelty of this study lies in the application of integrated simulation as a strategic decision support tool in the fisheries industry. The practical implication of this research is the provision of a more effective and sustainable logistics network planning framework for cold storage operators in managing supply and demand uncertainty.

The Readiness of Micro-businesses in Building Networking, Partnerships, and Collaboration through the MSME Incubator Program
Micro-businesses face persistent resource constraints that make networking, partnerships, and collaboration essential for improving competitiveness. While prior studies have documented the benefits of collaboration for small and medium-sized enterprises, empirical evidence on collaborative readiness at the pre-collaboration stage among micro-businesses remains limited. This study examines the readiness of micro-business actors to develop networking, partnerships, and collaboration following a learning-based intervention delivered through an MSME incubation program. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with an exploratory design, data were collected through structured questionnaires and pre-test and post-test instruments to assess changes in conceptual understanding, attitudes, and collaborative intentions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and simple comparative techniques, complemented by thematic analysis of open-ended responses. The findings show a clear increase in participants’ understanding of networking, the role of collaboration as a transitional step toward partnerships, and the use of digital tools for building business networks. Improvements in collaborative attitudes and short-term action intentions were also identified. However, the translation of readiness into formal partnerships remains limited due to structural barriers, including constrained capital, operational capacity, and digital literacy. The study concludes that collaborative readiness among micro-businesses can be strengthened through learning-based interventions and constitutes a critical transitional phase toward sustainable partnerships.

Analysis of Merit System Implementation in Civil Service Management within the North Central Timor Regency Government
The implementation of the merit system is a fundamental pillar of bureaucratic reform aimed at creating professional, neutral, and high-performing civil servants (ASN). This study aims to analyze the extent to which the merit system has been implemented in civil service management within the North Central Timor (TTU) Regency Government and to identify the inhibiting factors in its execution. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research method, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with stakeholders at the Regional Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM), observations, and documentary studies of regional merit system index reports. The results indicate that the TTU Regency Government has taken progressive steps, particularly in transparent recruitment processes through the Computer Assisted Test (CAT) system and the initial adoption of digital performance appraisal instruments. However, implementation in the aspects of career development, promotion, and transfer still faces significant challenges. Key constraints include the suboptimal mapping of talent pools, limited budgetary allocations for comprehensive competency tests (assessment centers), and the strong influence of local organizational culture which occasionally overlaps with meritocratic principles. The study concludes that while administrative instruments for the merit system are available, consistency in enforcing competency and qualification standards needs to be strengthened. It is recommended that the TTU Regency Government enhance the digitalization of talent management and increase internal oversight in filling high-level leadership positions to minimize subjectivity.

Therapeutic Communication and PTSD Symptoms among Children Affected by Flood Disasters in Aceh Tamiang
This study examined therapeutic communication and PTSD symptoms in children and adolescents affected by flooding in Aceh Tamiang. Flooding not only caused physical damage but also had a significant impact on children’s mental and emotional health, especially for those who had to live in emergency shelters. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional survey framework. The study participants included children aged 6 to 18 years who had experienced flooding in Aceh Tamiang. Data were collected using a PTSD symptom questionnaire to assess PTSD symptoms in children and a therapeutic communication survey adapted from various stages of therapeutic relationships, including the pre-orientation, orientation, working phase, and termination. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were applied to describe the respondents, analyze therapeutic communication patterns, and analyze the distribution of PTSD symptoms in children. The findings showed that children exhibited varying levels of PTSD symptoms after the disaster, with intrusion experiences and avoidance being the most prominent aspects. Reports of therapeutic communication experiences varied in intensity across different stages of interaction. These results indicated that therapeutic communication played a crucial role in providing interpersonal support for children’s psychological experiences after a flood disaster.

Communication Strategies of Tourism Awareness Groups in Improving the Image of a Stigmatized Tourism Area: A Case Study of Songgoriti
Tourism does not solely depend on natural potential and supporting facilities, but also on the perception of the image ingrained in the wider community. The Songgoriti tourist destination is faced with significant obstacles due to the deeply rooted negative stigma, particularly related to covert prostitution practices in the villa area. The stigma affects tourists' perceptions, alters the composition of visitors, and threatens the socio-economic sustainability of the local community. This research aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by the Songgokerto Tourism Awareness Group to restore the negative image of the Songgoriti tourist area. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection thru in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The selection of informants was purposive, including Pokdarwis managers, local residents, and the Batu City Tourism Office. The research findings indicate that the communication strategy of Pokdarwis emphasizes a community-based approach that prioritizes concrete improvement actions, particularly enhancing service quality and the culture of local hospitality. Image recovery does not rely on symbolic promotion, but rather on stable tourist experiences and word-of-mouth communication. This approach gradually builds credibility, trust, and social legitimacy for the local community. This research strengthens the argument that restoring the image of a stigmatized tourist destination requires continuous, contextual, and long-term community restorative communication.

Artificial Intelligence Literacy as the Foundation for Sustainable Business Transformation: An Analysis of Strategic Gaps and Governance Challenges in Indonesia
Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy has emerged as a critical foundation for sustainable business transformation in Indonesia, encompassing the competencies necessary for individuals and organizations to effectively engage with AI technologies. This study aims to analyze the strategic gaps and governance challenges that hinder AI implementation in Indonesia's business ecosystem. Using a qualitative approach through systematic literature review, this research examines how AI literacy impacts business transformation, identifies key barriers to AI adoption, and proposes strategic recommendations for improvement. The findings reveal that 77% of Indonesian business leaders recognize AI as critical for economic growth, while 94% plan to increase sustainability investments. However, significant challenges persist, including infrastructure inadequacy (84%), cybersecurity concerns (55%), and skilled talent shortage (45%). Only 45% of businesses understand ethical AI usage, and merely 24% have clear governance processes. The study identifies critical gaps in human capital development, regulatory fragmentation, and regional disparities in AI adoption. Strategic recommendations include integrating AI literacy into national education curricula, adopting skills-based hiring practices, establishing ethical governance frameworks, and fostering multi-stakeholder cooperation. The research concludes that comprehensive AI literacy programs, coupled with robust governance mechanisms, are essential for Indonesia to harness AI's transformative potential while ensuring ethical and sustainable business practices. Keywords : Artificial Intelligence Literacy; Sustainable Business Transformation; AI Governance; Digital Transformation; Strategic Gap Analysis; Indonesia;

Gastronomy as City Identity and Touris Attraction: a Case Study of Jeonju City, South Korea
Gastronomy is increasingly recognised as an important element in the development of tourist destinations, not only as a culinary experience, but also as a representation of a city's cultural identity. This article discusses how the city of Jeonju in South Korea capitalises on gastronomy, particularly bibimbap, as both the city's identity and an international tourist attraction. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, based on literature analysis, secondary data, and official documentation from the city government and international institutions. The results show that Jeonju's success in positioning itself as a ‘UNESCO City of Gastronomy’ is not only supported by its rich local cuisine, but also by supportive government policies, protection of intangible cultural heritage, development of culinary education institutions, and the organisation of global festivals. The discussion also shows that strengthening gastronomy as a city identity can enhance the positioning of tourist destinations in the global market and encourage local creative economic growth. This study provides academic implications for the development of gastronomy-based city branding theory, as well as practical implications for other city governments that wish to make cuisine a tourist attraction. Keywords: gastronomy; city identity; culinary tourism; city branding; Jeonju;

When Coffee Meets Sustainability: Building Green Brand Awareness Through Integrated Marketing Communication
Increasing competition in the food and beverage industry encourages brands to implement effective marketing communication strategies to build brand awareness, particularly those that emphasize sustainability values. This study aims to analyze the communication strategy of the “NAKOLABORASI X DAUR BAUR” campaign conducted by Kopi Nako in building brand awareness. This research applies the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) concept, focusing on experiential marketing, social media marketing, and community-based marketing, and relates it to the concept of brand awareness. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the integrated communication strategy contributes to increasing Kopi Nako’s brand awareness, particularly green brand awareness, where the brand is not only recognized but also associated with sustainability values.
