This study is aiming to develop the youth ecopreneurship intention. We evaluate how to process plastic waste into a valuable product as well as maintaining a sustainable environment. This is qualitative type research utilizing participatory and project-based learning methods. This method was chosen so we can objectively explain the feasibility of the use of plastics waste into productive goods. Data is collected using a participatory observation method, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. The object of this research is the youth in the border area, especially in Bengkayang. The finding indicated that intention and internal motivation in the youth entrepreneurship for converting plastics waste into valuable products are very positive. It is due to a relatively easy and inexpensive manufacturing process. However, there are external factors, that can negatively influence youth entrepreneurs’ drive, therefore we need to have stimulus and encouragement from outsiders (mentors), training and motivation. There was a tendency for youth to get bored with the long due process, and they want to get quick results immediately. This study only focused on the youth ecopreneurship intention in border areas, therefore it could still be biased. Therefore, further research is needed to provide more complex variables and a bigger number of more varied samples.

Underground economic activity is a phenomenon that requires special and continuous treatment. This phenomenon is counterproductive to local revenues and is related to corrupt practices and tax evasion. The research was conducted in Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The qualitative phenomenological method was carried out by interviewing underground economic actors such as liquor producers, "pangku" coffee shops, and street vendors. The findings indicate that corruption activities in the form of collecting bribes and offering bribes are carried out in cash without going through a legal transaction mechanism. The underground economy practices tax evasion, does business without a permit, pays substandard wages, and does not protect workers with insurance.  The underground economic activity will contribute to an increase in the circulation of money in society, but do not take into account the regional economy. Such situations call for massive supervision of individuals and the introduction of pentahelix elements to form synergies between actors and to begin to integrate and develop digital structures in every financial activity using e-government systems.JEL Classification  D73; E26; O17
