CREATIVE RESEARCH JOURNAL

CR Journal Vol. 10 No. 01 June 2024 comprises five articles covering various sectors with the following titles: (1) Identification of Demographic Patterns in West Java Province Using Spatial Autocorrelation: Preparing for the Peak Demographic Dividend Momentum; (2) Study of Layered Architecture for Application Development in Supporting Application Building in the West Java Provincial Government; (3) Acceleration of Certificate Issuance for the Complete Systematic Land Registration Program in Bandung Regency; (4) The Impact of Infrastructure Availability on Income Inequality in West Java Province; and (5) Challenges and Future of the Ciwaringin Hand-Written Batik Industry, Cirebon: A Case Study Analysis Using IFAS and EFAS Techniques.

The first article offers contributions and provides insights into significant locations in West Java for policy studies and further research in preparation for the demographic dividend momentum. Then, the second article highlights the relevance of implementing this architecture in the West Java Provincial Government environment, referencing existing local regulations and policies. The research results indicate that this four-layer technology standardization can be an effective solution to address challenges in government application development and support sustainable digital transformation.

The third article demonstrates that the implementation of the complete systematic land registration program in Bandung Regency has been carried out in accordance with the program implementation stages. However, there are still some inhibiting factors in human resources, public awareness, and completeness of application documents. Recommendations for accelerating land certificate issuance include enhancing human resource competencies and developing internal technical guidelines (PTSL handbook). Next, the fourth article shows that the availability of road infrastructure is a dominant factor in reducing income inequality in West Java compared to educational and health facilities. This may occur because road infrastructure promotes inter-regional connectivity, more equitable development of other facilities, and increased business productivity, thereby increasing community income and ultimately reducing income inequality. The fifth article, based on the IFAS and EFAS values, provides a quantitative assessment that can assist local governments in evaluating and creating development programs for the Ciwaringin batik industry. The results of this study can provide policy direction to be more effective and efficient.
