The local market of Santander de Quilichao, located in the Cauca Department of Colombia, represents a complex social, economic, and cultural space shaped by multiple public policies related to urban management and local development. This study examines the marketplace as a site where tensions emerge between institutional modernization initiatives and the preservation of traditional, community-based dynamics characteristic of popular markets. The research aims to assess how public policies related to urban renewal and land-use planning have influenced the market’s physical layout, functional organization, symbolic meaning, commercial practices, spatial appropriation, and the sustainability of local entrepreneurship. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative approach, combining participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and photographic documentation with an analysis of development plans and territorial planning instruments. Findings reveal that, despite institutional efforts toward modernization-primarily focused on infrastructure and sanitary improvements-significant gaps remain in the design and implementation of comprehensive public policies capable of aligning economic development with the protection of the market’s social and cultural identity. As an original contribution, this research provides field-based empirical evidence from a marketplace in a non-capital intermediate municipality, a context rarely explored in the literature on public policy and traditional markets. Its novelty lies in the integrated analysis of local public policies, popular entrepreneurship, and sustainability, grounded in the lived experiences of market vendors. The results offer valuable insights for designing territorial public policies that promote the sustainable and inclusive transformation of local markets while preserving their social and cultural significance.
Keywords: Public policy; local entrepreneurship; market vendors; traditional markets; cultural heritage.

The rapid advancement of information and communication technologies has made digital transformation a strategic imperative in educational management. Schools must adapt their management systems to enhance efficiency, transparency, and educational quality in the digital era. This study examines digital transformation strategies in educational management with a focus on innovation and school quality improvement. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing a literature review approach. Data were collected from national and international journal articles, academic books, and policy documents published within the last ten years and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that digital transformation in schools constitutes a comprehensive organizational change involving leadership, institutional culture, human resource competencies, and data-driven decision-making. The case of MTsN 1 Kota Makassar illustrates that integrating learning management systems, digital administrative services, and data-based management significantly enhances operational efficiency, transparency, and learning flexibility. Nevertheless, challenges such as disparities in digital competencies and infrastructure limitations persist. Overall, the study emphasizes that sustainable digital transformation requires a systemic, multi-level strategy aligned with leadership commitment, continuous professional development, and supportive policy frameworks to effectively improve school quality.
Keywords: Digital Transformation; Educational Management; School Quality; Innovation; Learning Management Systems.

Political communication serves as a tool to influence audiences in the dissemination of political messages. One prominent form of such communication is through campaign strategies that enhance public awareness and participation, particularly among younger generations. The "Desak Anies" program, initiated by Anies Baswedan during the 2024 General Election campaign, exemplifies targeted political communication aimed at students, representing Generation Z. This study examines the effectiveness of the "Desak Anies" program in promoting political awareness and fostering student participation in democratic processes. A descriptive qualitative methodology was employed, combining literature review and secondary data analysis from relevant sources. Findings indicate that the program successfully engages students with national issues and motivates active involvement in political activities, particularly elections. Importantly, the program functions not only as a one-way communication channel but also as an interactive platform facilitating dialogue between political leaders and the younger generation. These results underscore the significance of adaptive and participatory communication strategies in delivering political education in the digital era.
Keywords: Political Communication, Civic Education, Youth Political Participation, Deliberative Democracy, Political Campaigns.

This study investigates the impact of green financing on corporate value within Indonesia’s renewable energy sector. The primary aim is to examine how green financing affects companies’ financial performance and market valuation when implementing sustainable practices. Employing a library-based research approach, data were systematically collected from books, peer-reviewed journals, and industry reports addressing green financing, corporate value, and renewable energy. The findings indicate that green financing provides financial advantages, enhances corporate reputation, and attracts investors focused on sustainability, thereby contributing to higher corporate value. Nevertheless, challenges such as complex certification procedures and regulatory uncertainties limit smaller firms’ ability to fully leverage green financing opportunities. These results underscore the importance of more supportive policies and accessible financing mechanisms to promote sustainable growth.
Keywords: Green Financing, Corporate Value, Renewable Energy Sector, Sustainable Investment, Indonesia.
