https://www.igi-global.com/gateway/chapter/376902 Tax evasion poses significant challenges to governments, undermining revenue collection and trust in public institutions. E-Government platforms, leveraging advanced digital tools and data analytics, offer a promising solution to address this issue by enabling efficient monitoring and profiling of taxpayer behavior. This study explores the role of E-Government systems in mitigating tax evasion through the behavioral profiling of non-compliant taxpayers. By integrating machine learning algorithms and anomaly detection techniques, the research identifies patterns of non-compliance and develops predictive models for early detection of evasion risks. Furthermore, the study examines the psychological and socio-economic factors influencing taxpayer behavior, emphasizing the role of trust, transparency, and system usability in fostering voluntary compliance. The findings underscore the importance of data-driven policy interventions and ethical considerations in behavioral profiling, offering a robust framework for enhancing tax compliance and promoting fiscal transparency.

https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/ilm… With cities across Philippines and the world transitioned to E-governance, Pagadian City shifted to and adapted the concept if e-government with the help of social media and ICT in general. Like any other cities where social media was the main portal to promote transparency and civil engagement, this paper will give data on how ICT and social media made an impact to promote transparence and civil engagement. Using qualitative research method, this paper analyzed the data from Asenso Pagadian page of Pagadian City on how citizens adapted this paradigm shift from the usual transparency boards. As a result, it shows that citizens were comfortable with the shift to e-governance where data and information is just in the tip of their fingers to engage with the city’s processes and programs.

https://jurnalaspikom.org/index.php/aspiko… This study examines the shift of crisis communication in the digital era by examining the role of digital news platforms in shaping public engagement. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through analysis of 65 documents from scholarly sources and digital media, as well as social media tracking with NVivo 12 Plus and Tweetbinder. The case studies focused on the MCCC’s response to COVID-19 in Indonesia and the Gaza crisis for global comparison. The results showed three main findings: (1) public engagement tends to be passive, indicated by the dominance of reposts (82%), reflecting information fatigue, low digital literacy, and distrust of institutions, (2) the distribution of public sentiment is dominated by neutral to negative tones (48-68% neutral, 25-38% negative), as a consequence of institutional communication strategies that use deny and diminish rather than rebuild approaches, (3) scientific discourse is still centered on institutional strategies and responses, without accommodating the complexity of local digital culture. As a practical recommendation, this study suggests a data-driven, participatory, and empathetic crisis communication model, as well as the integration of real-time sentiment monitoring and an actionable and forward-looking two-way feedback system.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/… Purpose This research paper explores the concept of a Smart Citizen in the digital age, focusing on the UMEGA Model and the Nudge Approach. Smart citizens possess the necessary technological skills to make informed decisions in a smart country. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses Smart-PLS software to analyze survey questionnaire feedback and proposes a long-term solution for smart citizens’ decision-making role in sustainability. Findings The paper sets out to prove that of the UMEGA factors, motivation and social influence play the most important role in determining active citizen involvement, while perceived risks provide strong concerns capable of discouraging participation. Surprisingly, effort expectancy and empowerment also play important roles, but to a lesser degree. The study shows that low-key interventions such as reframing and taking advantage of social norms are effective in influencing the existence of citizens without undermining autonomy. These findings suggest that policymakers need to prioritize the establishment of social influence mechanisms and minimize perceived risks to try to build a more inclusive and sustainable city government. Originality A smart citizen will play a crucial role in adopting sustainable growth, with technology as a catalyst for creating a Smart Citizen. The research paper provides a framework for conceptualizing a Smart Citizen Decision Making role, aiding policymakers and researchers in developing future strategies.

https://journal.binus.ac.id/index.php/winn… This study aims to analyze the role of digital maturity in assessing the responsiveness of e-government services. Using a scientometric method, the research evaluates relevant literature published from 2019 to 2024, sourced from the Scopus database, and applies RStudio and CiteSpace tools for data visualization and trend mapping.

https://www.igi-global.com/gateway/chapter… This paper discuss the themes of Social Responsibility towards animals as put forth in medieval Islamic work The Case of the Animals versus Man Before the King of the Jinn, by Ikhwān al-Ṣafā. The aim of this research is to analyze and investigate the philosophical basis of animal rights and how it relates to modern discourse. The research will explore, through qualitative content analysis, the narrative structure, arguments, and moral reasoning contained in the text. The results describe how the animals of the story bring up a plea against human exploitation by alluding to principles of justice. The findings indicate a deep critique of anthropocentrism through an emphasis on the intrinsic value of non-human beings. The conclusion posits that the text, while embedded in a historical and cultural context, offers timeless insights into the moral obligations of humans toward animals, putting forward a plea for the reconsideration. This research helps to contribute to interdisciplinary discussions that bridge classical Islamic thought, ethics, and modern animal rights advocacy marketing.

https://journal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/jsm/… Rapid digital transformation has prompted organisations to improve digital maturity in response to increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges. This research aims to explore the relationship between digital maturity and the effectiveness of data security measures, with a bibliometric approach to analyze trends, patterns and gaps in related literature. Based on the literature review, digital maturity reflects the level of digital technology adoption integrated with organisational strategy and culture, which is shown to have a significant impact on strengthening data security measures. This study used a bibliometric analysis method based on data from Scopus, involving 315 documents analyzed with VOSviewer and RStudio software to visualize trends and relationships between key variables. The results show that organizations with high digital maturity tend to be more capable of implementing effective data security measures, such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and cybersecurity frameworks. In addition, the adoption of technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) also contributes to increased resilience against cyber threats. However, the gap between theory and real applications remains a challenge, with the need for more applicable and contextualized models. This research provides important insights for policymakers and practitioners to support a secure and sustainable digital transformation.
