In ASPIKOM, all study programs can improve their respective accreditation so that their performance can be better. “I see, this West Java ASPIKOM seems ordinary, but it turns out that its activities have gone to Thailand, Japan, and there are also many internal coaching activities.

    UNIKOM Faculty of Design Holds SCOPA Education 2025 to Highlight the Role of Paper in Design

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The world of design remains closely tied to the use of paper, despite the dominance of digital and social media. Realizing the importance of paper quality in supporting the strength of design work, the Faculty of Design at Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) in collaboration with PT Surya Palacejaya organized SCOPA Education (Surya Palace Creative on Paper) on the UNIKOM campus in Bandung.

    The event, which took place on Thursday, April 24, 2025, carried the theme ‘All About Paper’ as part of the Faculty of Design’s 2025 program. This event featured Tommy Wily Bonytua, S.T., from PT Surya Palacejaya as the main speaker, with Dr. Tiara Isfiaty, M.Sn., serving as moderator, as Head of the Interior Design Study Program and Lecturer of the Interior Design Study Program & MDS Postgraduate Program. This activity was attended by lecturers in the Faculty of Design and attended by students from the Visual Communication Design (DKV), Graphic Design, and Interior Design Study Programs, particularly those enrolled in Illustration II for the 2024/2025 academic year.

    This activity was led by Dr. Ambarsih Ekawardhani, M.Sn. as Chief Executive, supported by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rini Maulina, M.Sn., as Vice Chair, along with the committee team from the Visual Communication Design, Graphic Design, and Interior Study Programs. In her speech, Dr. Ambarsih Ekawardhani, M.Sn. said that “With this activity, students gain exposure to various types of specialty paper that are not widely available in the market. One of the interesting papers introduced is a paper that cannot be torn. This activity opens students’ insights that certain types of paper can improve the quality of design work, both visually and through sensory experience. Hopefully, this activity can broaden students’ understanding and appreciation of the variety of materials in the world of design,” said Dr. Ambarsih 

    In his presentation, Tommy introduced various types of imported paper distributed by PT Surya Palacejaya, as well as explained the characteristics and functions of each type of paper in supporting the quality of design work. One of the interesting moments was when participants were introduced to a paper product called Yupo – a synthetic paper that cannot be torn. The participants tried to tear the paper in various ways, but none of them succeeded, which generated a lot of enthusiasm among the participants.

    SCOPA Education also marked the launch of BAKSYA 2025, the Faculty of Design’s Illustration Competition for Creative Design Works. This competition is planned as a national-scale event involving students from various universities in Indonesia, especially in the field of Visual Communication Design. BAKSYA will include competitions and exhibitions of works, becoming a creative platform for design students throughout Indonesia to express their innovative ideas.

    With the implementation of SCOPA Education 2025, the UNIKOM Faculty of Design hopes that students will increasingly understand the importance of choosing the right media in their creative process and strengthen their competitiveness in both national and international creative industries.

    1. Title: Technology Integration and Vision: Core Tax System as a Pillar of the Digital Taxation Era

    Author: Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., CA

    Synopsis: The digital era has brought significant changes in the global tax system, encouraging countries to adopt technology to improve tax efficiency, transparency, and compliance. Core Tax Administration System (CTAS) comes as a modern solution that integrates cutting-edge technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data Analytics, and Smart Contracts to create a more sophisticated and adaptive tax system for the digital economy. Tax digitalization is an urgent need for Indonesia in facing global and domestic challenges. Technology enables tax administration efficiency, accelerates data processing, and improves tax compliance through automation and predictive analytics. However, the complexity of the digital economy and cross-border transactions demands innovative solutions for tax authorities to ensure fiscal fairness and prevent tax evasion. The implementation of CTAS faces various challenges from technical, managerial, and social aspects. From the technical side, complex data migration, suboptimal system integration, and cybersecurity threats are the main obstacles. 

    1. Title: Transformation of Children’s Play and Learning Spaces in a Digital World 

    Author: Prof. Dr. Ir. Dhini Dewiyanti, M.T.

    Synopsis: Children are like blank paper, ready to receive the scribbles of life that will shape their character, mindset, and future. What we write on this ‘paper’ will determine the direction they take. A child’s world is a world full of dreams, freedom, and joy, a world that we often miss as adults. However, behind the laughter and play, there is an essential learning process in shaping their personality and abilities. Play is not just entertainment, but a very effective and natural learning tool for children. Observing children’s play spaces has been the focus of my attention on many occasions, especially in relation to human behavior and how space can influence their development.

    The era of digitalization has brought about profound changes in the way humans interact with spaces, including children’s play and learning spaces. In the context of architecture, child behavior research is becoming increasingly relevant to understand how space design can support their physical, cognitive, and social development needs amidst technological advancements. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) creates new opportunities to create play and learning environments that are expected to be interactive. However, these technologies also bring challenges, especially in reducing direct social interaction between children. Reliance on digital devices often limits physical exploration and human collaboration, which should be essential elements of child development. 

    The two latest books published reflect an in-depth study of technological developments in various fields. Through the publication of these two books, UNIKOM PRESS has played an active role in providing useful academic references for the community and the world of education.
