Abstract
This study discusses the design of community-based peatland management policies in the Giam Siak Kecil-Bukit Batu Landscape (GSK-BB) of Riau Province. This research is motivated by the activity of utilizing peatland resources in the GSK-BB Biosphere Reserve which is quite alarming because it is often carried out in an exploitative and destructive manner. Even though biosphere reserves are protected and preserved areas based on Law no. 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and their Ecosystems. Activities that are widely carried out by communities and companies in this region are the conversion of protected forests to agricultural land, plantations, and forestry, as well as human settlements. This land conversion phenomenon continues to the present day, and is even suspected to be the main trigger for severe forest and land fires every year in Riau Province. The above conditions have caused peatlands to degrade in terms of quantity and quality which decreases their social, ecological and economic functions. This research is a mixed method research by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. This research is expected to meet the requirements and be able to become an analysis to explain the processes that cause why degradation and damage on peatlands have an impact on a local and global scale. Then through the designed model it is hoped that a community-based integrated peatland management policy (formulation) can be produced. The ultimate goal is to find a solution to overcome the problem of degradation and damage in peatlands so that the achievement of sustainable peatland management targets is achieved.

Abstract
This study examines the position of tax consultant profession in the current Indonesian legal system, and the direction of its regulation going forward after the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia (MKRI) ruled its verdict Number: 63/PUU-XV/2017. The MKRI ruling has stated that the delegation of authority regarding the requirements and procedures for the implementation of power as regulated in Article 32 paragraph (3a) of the Law Number 28 of 2007 on General Provisions and Procedures of Taxation can only be considered as constitutional if the substance contained is merely about technical-administrative. The birth of MKRI Verdict No. 63/PUU-XV/2017 has become a driving factor in the need for regulating tax consultant substantively in the form of law not in a finance minister regulation anymore. As a response, the House of Representatives (DPR) on July 26, 2018, approved the Bill of Tax Consultant Law as a DPR-s initiated bill. However, some people still questioning the suitability of the substances regarding tax consultant profession to be regulated in law. This article is based on normative and empirical legal research. The data obtained was analyzed qualitatively. The results of this research confirmed that the arrangement regarding the tax consultant profession so far has been regulated too general in the Act. Moreover, the existing regulation does not provide a comprehensive and proper legal framework for regulating a professional and independent tax consultant. Therefore, to offer legal certainty for the tax consultant and the taxpayers, it is necessary to have a legislation on that matter in an act. Arrangement of tax consultant in an Act can be a legal umbrella for the implementation of this profession. The coming Tax Consultant Law must comprehensively regulate, among other things, the rights and obligations of the tax consultant, the scope of duties and authority of the tax consultant, and the establishment of the tax consultant organization.

Abstract
The sharing economy nowadays has become a global trend, including in Indonesia. Ride-sharing is one of the top-grossing sharing economy platforms. Indonesians are the worlds second-heaviest users of ride-sharing apps after Singaporeans, according to the Global Digital Report 2019. High demand for ride-sharing subsequently captivates people to become ride-sharing drivers. Unlike common workers, as a driver, they are not an employee of the ride-sharing application company but instead, they are independent workers. There is no employment relationship between the driver and the company, therefore, the companies don-t provide any social security for the driver. In the other hand, the government has to develop a social security system. The social security system in Indonesia differentiates contributions between salaried workers and non-salaried workers. For salaried workers, the employer has to pay the contributions of its employees, while the contributions of non-salaried workers (including ride-sharing drivers) fully paid by themselves. This research is empirical normative research that using a statutory approach and conceptual approach. In this research, we conduct legal philosophical analysis to examine the existing regulation of social security for ride-sharing drivers in Indonesia and to analyse which parties are liable to pay the contributions of the drivers social security. Findings of this research will help inform policymakers and regulators of the ideal scheme of liability for providing social security.

Nowadays the term Islamic feminism is uprising around the globe. The important question that becomes research question is does Islamic feminism help in the debate for integration? To what extend? It is most important as a basic and fundamental research to comprehensive understanding the Muslim living in Germany. For answering this research question, I tend to make a hypothesis that Islamic feminism help in debate for integration which 21st century is the time of transmission the concept of Islamic feminism which is connected with the proposal to support integration process in the European Union and in the Member States towards good governance system. This can be proven by active participation of women in Germany Islamic organization. The participation aims to increase capacity development of Muslim women. This participation also arise integration awareness that can be described by some patterns which divided based on data from an empirical research using sequential exploratory method.
