Abstract

This article develops a journal-style reconstruction of Fransye David Talumantak’s thesis on the implementation of budgetary policy for stunting management in Wangurer Village, South Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency, Indonesia. The study focuses on the procurement and distribution of supplementary feeding (PMT) financed through village funds and analyzes the determinant factors shaping implementation quality. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the original thesis gathered data through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving the village head, village secretary and finance officer, the chair of the village women’s movement, posyandu cadres, health workers from the local health center, community figures, and families with children at risk of stunting. The article reorganizes the thesis into a journal manuscript modeled on the structure of the Sammy article supplied by the user while preserving the empirical substance of the original research. The findings show that the policy has been implemented procedurally through budget allocation, budget utilization, food procurement, monthly distribution, and field assistance. Stunting has been recognized as a priority in the village budget and discussed through participatory village deliberation. Nevertheless, implementation remains only partially effective. Budget decisions are still dominated by administrative logic rather than detailed nutritional evidence; the quality of supplementary food is shaped not only by technical health considerations but also by local bargaining in village meetings; distribution is highly dependent on budget disbursement; beneficiary validation and household-level monitoring remain weak; and supervision is still largely administrative rather than performance-based. Four determinant factors stand out: budget governance, technical nutritional capacity, distribution and targeting mechanisms, and collaboration plus supervision across actors. The article argues that village-level stunting policy cannot be judged only by budget absorption or formal compliance. Its effectiveness depends on whether financial planning, nutrition expertise, targeting accuracy, cross-sector coordination, and community oversight are integrated into one implementation system. Strengthening should therefore focus on evidence-based budgeting, continuous cadre training, flexible and data-based distribution, structured monitoring of food consumption, and participatory accountability mechanisms. The study contributes to public administration literature by showing that village fund policy for stunting reduction is not merely a fiscal question, but a governance issue involving implementation capacity, local politics, intersectoral coordination, and community trust.

Abstract

The study is important because administrative documents are not merely clerical outputs; they constitute legal instruments through which citizens access inheritance rights, banking services, land administration, insurance claims, and other civil entitlements. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the original thesis gathered data through interviews, observation, and documentation involving subdistrict officials, village-level actors, and community users from mainland and island villages. The article follows the journal format used in the supplied Sammy/F. David model by presenting an abstract, introduction, theoretical framework, method, findings, discussion, conclusion, and references. Findings show that the SKAW service has a formal procedural structure consisting of application registration, population-data and domicile verification, document drafting, authorization, and document delivery. However, implementation remains uneven. The main problems are repeated file returns, incomplete documents, weak preliminary verification at the village level, manual document preparation, dependence on authorized signatories, uneven staff competence, limited public information, weak intergovernmental coordination, inadequate technology, and geographical barriers faced by island communities. Determinant factors include document completeness and data accuracy, human resource capacity, institutional coordination, infrastructure and digital technology, and community access. The article argues that service improvement requires not only administrative compliance but also citizen-oriented service design, integrated village-subdistrict coordination, digital templates and tracking, staff capacity development, and special access mechanisms for island communities.

Abstract

This article analyzes the implementation of Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) policy in Budo Village, Wori District, North Minahasa Regency. The study is located within public administration, village governance, and policy implementation scholarship, and examines how formal regulation is translated into institutional practice, business management, community participation, and accountability. A qualitative descriptive approach was used through interviews, observation, and documentation involving village government actors, BUMDes managers, village consultative actors, community economic actors, and local stakeholders. The findings indicate that BUMDes implementation in Budo Village has produced important institutional and economic foundations, particularly through village deliberation, tourism-based business activity, community involvement in micro-enterprises, and recognition of mangrove tourism as a strategic local asset. However, implementation remains partially effective rather than fully institutionalized. Several weaknesses were identified: local regulation has not been fully harmonized with the newer national legal framework; financial reporting and asset documentation remain incomplete; business planning is still limited; supervision is more procedural than evidence-based; and human resource capacity is not yet sufficient for professional enterprise management. The determinant factors shaping implementation include institutional fit, regulatory clarity, supervision quality, human resource capacity, community participation, and the socio-economic capacity of village business actors. The article argues that BUMDes should be understood not merely as a village business unit, but as a hybrid public-economic institution that requires good governance, entrepreneurial capability, transparent accounting, and participatory accountability. The study contributes to policy implementation literature by showing that village enterprise success depends on the alignment between legal legitimacy, managerial capacity, local economic potential, community trust, and continuous institutional learning

Abstract

This article examines the governance of leadership materials and communication in the preparation of regional leader speeches at a provincial leadership administration bureau. Leadership speeches are not merely ceremonial texts; they are instruments of public administration through which government priorities, development achievements, policy directions, and public values are communicated. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach because the phenomenon is embedded in administrative routines, inter-unit coordination, data provision, staff competence, and agenda dynamics. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with officials and staff involved in speech preparation, and documentation of schedules, organizational structures, speech materials, and supporting administrative records. The analysis is organized around five indicators: activity coordination, schedule planning, data sources for speech materials, composing apparatus, and contingency of leader attendance. The findings show that the speech preparation process has been supported by a formal organizational structure and highly committed personnel, yet it has not functioned optimally as an integrated governance system. Coordination still relies on informal communication channels, schedule changes frequently occur at short notice, data from regional apparatus organizations are often late or not standardized, writing competence is uneven, and changes in leader attendance often result in unused or repeatedly revised materials. The discussion shows that effective leadership communication requires the integration of bureaucratic order, performance orientation, public service values, and communication quality. The article recommends strengthening standard operating procedures, developing a real-time agenda and material management system, institutionalizing data submission standards, and improving civil servant competence in public communication and speechwriting.

Abstract

This article analyzes the governance of village boundary segment affirmation between Sea Village and East Koha Village in Minahasa Regency. The study is situated within public administration, public management, territorial administration, and boundary governance. The case is important because village boundaries are not merely cartographic lines; they define administrative authority, public service jurisdiction, planning responsibility, asset management, and community access to government protection. Although formal procedures for village boundary determination and affirmation are provided by the Indonesian regulatory framework, the boundary segment between the two villages has not reached a final agreement. This article uses a qualitative descriptive approach based on in-depth interviews, document analysis, and limited administrative observation. The findings show that the boundary affirmation process has already passed several formal stages, including team formation, data and document collection, facilitation, cartometric tracing, and preparation of maps and coordinates. Nevertheless, the process remains unresolved because socio-historical interpretations, institutional governance limitations, inter-actor coordination, local leadership dynamics, and the low level of social pressure have prevented the transformation of technical outputs into a binding administrative decision. The study concludes that unresolved village boundary affirmation is less a purely technical mapping problem than a governance problem that requires stronger coordination, shared interpretation of evidence, community legitimacy, and decisive administrative follow-up. The article recommends an integrated boundary governance model that combines legal certainty, geospatial evidence, participatory mediation, and final decision-making by authorized local government institutions.
