This study analyzes the voting behavior of Chinese people in the 2024 Presidential Election in Sei Rengas I Village. The main focus is to understand the socio-political dynamics of minority ethnic groups in the context of Indonesian democracy, especially related to political participation and the influence of cultural values in political decision-making. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies of the local Chinese community. Based on the theory of voting behavior that includes sociological, psychological, and rational approaches, the results of the study show the dominance of a combination of sociological and rational approaches. Sociologically, voting behavior is strongly influenced by family and community factors. In the rational approach, economic factors are the main consideration, where voters make rational calculations regarding the candidate's ability to overcome economic challenges. Chinese voters show a tendency to be increasingly intelligent and selective in determining their choice of president, considering the economic programs offered. The study also reveals an increase in political awareness among the Chinese community which encourages more active participation in the democratic process, potentially creating a more inclusive political environment and contributing to the country's economic stability.

Ardi Saputra — 2024-12-31

Most universities manage parking for students and lecturers such as motorcycles and cars. But currently, there are many universities that still use manual methods, Mikroskil University is one of the private universities in Medan City which also still uses manual methods by checking the Vehicle Number Certificate by Mikroskil security officers. This inspection can result in a long queue at the exit of the parking area. In addition, students also have difficulty finding available parking spots in the parking area because there is no system that provides directions to see the availability of parking spots. Therefore, in this study a Smart Parking system was built using the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) system by creating a portal with a QR code scanner and adding a light sensor in each parking spot. The sensor testing results show that the light sensor is able to display the results according to the condition of the vehicle and then send the parking spot data to the application server, then based on the black box software testing, it is concluded that the software functionally runs well and produces results as expected. User testing conducted by students also shows the results as expected.
