Virtual reality is a new phenomenon that has rapidly developed over the past few years, while studies on the development of virtual reality in cultural objects such as sultanate palaces are still very few, so further studies are needed. This research aims to develop virtual reality as a guiding and promotional media for cultural tourism of the sultanate palace in North Maluku, especially the sultanate palace of Ternate and Bacan. The steps in developing Virtual reality consist of 3 steps. First, take the original image of the palace using drones and cameras. The second step is the development of 3D objects of the sultanate palace using Blender. The third step is application development using Unity and Virtual Reality tools: Smartphones and Cardboard. This research uses the SDLC Waterfall method. Testing in this study uses four stages of the testing process: (1) black box test, (2) media expert test, (3) expert test, and (4) UEQ (User Experience Questionnaire) test. The result of this research is that the availability of virtual guiding applications for the Bacan and Ternate Palaces has created an immersive cultural virtual tourism experience.

The need for optimal management of potential regional taxes and levies is an important problem in increasing local original revenue (PAD) in Ternate City. The real effect of this problem is the low achievement of Ternate City PAD which is only 68.89% per year in 2021. Specs in this matter focus on the need for more human resources for PAD managers, who have yet to utilize information technology to realize PAD, target setting, unprofessional PAD managers, and weak supervision of Ternate City PAD revenues. This study aims to map the Potential Taxes and Levies of the Ternate City Area from these factual conditions. The approach used in this study is Qualitative with an Integrative paradigm, Descriptive method, and SWOT Analysis. The key informant of this study is an individual who became and has been the manager of regional levies and BUMD in Ternate City. The results showed that the low achievement of the Ternate City PAD target was due to the Ternate City government needing an accountable database of Ternate City PAD potential. This is confirmed by the realization target of Ternate City PAD always experiencing declining changes in the main APBD with the shift in APBD. In addition to the organizational governance responsible for collecting PAD being less professional, the government of BUMD, which is the spearhead in improving PAD, is also unprofessional. This can be seen from the continued deterioration of BUMD’s performance in Ternate City.

This study examines and analyzes diversification and intellectual capital on sustainability performance mediated by financial performance. This research was conducted at Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) in Indonesia, registered with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) for 2011 - 2018, with a total sample of 10 Islamic banks that meet the criteria according to the sampling method used, namely purposive sampling. The data analysis technique used SEM-PLS with the help of WarpPLS 7.0 software. The results showed that intellectual capital and financial performance had a positive effect on sustainability performance, but diversification was not significant on sustainability performance. Financial performance can mediate the relationship between diversification and intellectual capital on sustainability performance. The VAF method calculates the mediating effect with financial performance results partially mediates because the VAF value is less than 80%.
