The purpose of this study is to determine the dynamics of implementing waste management policies through the waste bank innovation program in national policies. It also aims to determine the factors that influence it through a collaborative approach based on communication between community stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and the government in Makassar City and Bantaeng Regency. This is a qualitative-exploratory research study that uses a case study approach to delve into the research topic. The data collected were analyzed using the software Nvivo 12 pro to provide a systematic, factual, accurate, and in-depth picture of the implementation of waste bank program policies in eastern regions in Indonesia. The results of this study explain that the implementation of the Waste Bank Management Policy in Makassar City and Bantaeng Regency has not been run optimally, especially in the aspect of communication between stakeholders, including community participation. Although stakeholders and implementing agents have understood the intent and purpose of the waste bank program, socialization in the community is still considered less than optimal. Therefore, this research encourages local governments to implement effective and efficient waste bank program policies, with collaboration for every stakeholder in the area, to increase public and private participation.

The focus of this research is to identify the dynamics of regional economic development through digital trends towards tourist visits and the promotion of tourist destinations in the Lake Toba area during the F1 Powerboat World Championship (F1H2O) event on Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Through the conduct of online research methods (ORMs) in diagnosing digital social issues and trends regarding the events, the results show that there was an effort to maximize the increase in regional economic development, by utilizing the potential and attractiveness of holding the F1 Powerboat as part of sports tourism. As an event aims to spur the movement of domestic tourists to super-priority destination areas, the implementation of the F1 Powerboat event is not only a driving force in the recovery and improvement of the local economy after the COVID-19 Pandemic, but also a venue for the promotion of other tourist destinations in North Sumatra. However, the positive impacts of this event organization on sustainable economic growth in the surrounding areas is not without reservations. The event has received some negative feedback, which include the problems of event preparation and implementation, and also the limited awareness of local community tourism. This research suggests that in order to achieve sustainable regional development and urban resilience, the future organization of sport tourism events should not only focus on the economic objectives, but also on the other aspects including socio-cultural and environmental perspectives.

This research aims to analyze the development of digital transformation in Society 5.0 in Indonesia to identify challenges and opportunities in its implementation. This research method uses a qualitative exploratory approach with a case study on digital developments in Society 5.0 in Indonesia. The analysis in this study uses interactive techniques and is assisted via Nvivo 12 Plus. The results of this research show that the era of Society 5.0 has forced Indonesia to carry out digital transformation in various public sectors, such as governance and administration, economics, and socio-culture. In line with the demands of the Society 5.0 era, digital transformation in Indonesia seeks to realize super smart Society 5.0 in 2024 to develop capabilities to solve social problems that occur as a result of the emergence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 to 5.0. This is intended to create ideal conditions in various public sectors, such as government, economics, and social culture. However, in line with these efforts, Indonesia faces challenges in digital transformation, such as digital transformation efforts, which to date have not been optimal including in human resources. In various regions in Indonesia, there are still problems with inadequate infrastructure for encouraging digital transformation in Indonesia. The contribution of this research is a reference in the development of the concept of digital transformation and Society 5.0. Apart from that, this research is also an evaluation material for the Indonesian government regarding the digital transformation that has been attempted.
