    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.
