Abstract

This study aims to analyze the condition of community empowerment, the inhibiting factors, and the empowerment strategies in the development of Alamendah Tourism Village in Bandung Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that community empowerment is still in a transitional stage. Although several positive dynamics have emerged, such as the initial establishment of relationships between managers and the community, community involvement in several activities, and efforts in documentation and promotion, the empowerment process has not yet been fully participatory and remains limited to a core group. The study also identifies several inhibiting factors, including weak social networks among local actors, non-participatory and unsustainable mapping of local potential, the absence of an inclusive shared vision, elite-dominated decision-making processes, limitations in collectively designing and implementing activities, and inadequate documentation and evaluation practices. The strategic analysis shows that community empowerment in tourism village development is positioned in Quadrant I (Strength–Opportunities), which requires the implementation of an aggressive–progressive strategy by optimizing the internal strengths of the community to capitalize on external opportunities in a sustainable manner. This strategy includes strengthening collective capacity, expanding collaborative networks, utilizing policy and technological support, and reinforcing local institutions to promote sustainable empowerment and enhance the competitiveness of the tourism village.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Public Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovation and to formulate a Public ICT Innovation Model within the Government of West Bandung Regency. The study is motivated by the suboptimal implementation of various ICT-based innovation programs due to several critical regional innovation factors, including leadership, innovation culture development, the capacity of educated and trained personnel, innovation team development, and measurable work orientation. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method through observation, interviews, and document analysis conducted at the Department of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics (DISKOMINFOTIK) and related Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPDs). The findings indicate that although Public ICT innovations have generally been implemented effectively, major obstacles persist, particularly low work and learning culture and rigid bureaucratic structures. On the other hand, innovation optimization is driven by technology push factors, encompassing research and development, production, marketing, and market needs. The study also identifies external interference factors, such as academic involvement, benchmarking with other local governments, and public feedback which significantly contribute to improving and integrating innovation initiatives. Improvement efforts are reflected in the integration of 103 innovations into two main platforms and institutional efficiency through the strengthening of internal human resources. This research proposes a Public ICT Innovation Model as a systematic framework emphasizing integration, innovation curation, centralized coordination through DISKOMINFOTIK, and adaptability to external dynamics. The model is expected to serve as a strategic reference for developing more effective, efficient, and sustainable public ICT innovations at the local government level.

Abstract

The main problem of this research centers on the existence of a serious and multidimensional implementation deficit in the management of Low-Cost Rental Apartments (Rusunawa) in Bandung City. This study employs a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through field observations at strategic locations such as the Cingised, Rancacili, and Sadang Serang Rusunawa complexes, as well as through in-depth interviews with stakeholders from the Housing and Settlement Area Agency (Dinas Perumahan dan Kawasan Permukiman/DPKP) and the Rusunawa Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) of Bandung City. The findings reveal that the implementation of Rusunawa management policies in Bandung City has not yet been optimal due to weak inter-agency coordination and limited managerial capacity within the implementing organizations. Resource-related factors, particularly the shortage of civil servants and the reactive nature of maintenance budgeting, constitute major obstacles in maintaining the quality of public services. In addition, the study finds that the implementers’ disposition and policy communication variables have not been effective in fostering voluntary compliance among residents, especially in adhering to occupancy duration regulations and administrative requirements. As a solution, this research proposes a policy implementation strengthening model based on service digitalization (Smart Rusunawa) and social engineering to ensure the sustainability of Rusunawa as humane and equitable transitional housing.
