Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of policies to empower MSMEs in the creative economy of the Papuan souvenir handicraft sector in Sorong City, from a public service perspective. The study uses a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. The quantitative approach involved a survey of 30 MSME actors using a Likert-scale questionnaire, which was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. The qualitative approach involved in-depth interviews with five key speakers and was analyzed using thematic analysis and source triangulation. The study results show a very strong and significant relationship among MSME empowerment, the creative economy, Papuan local wisdom, and the role of local governments. Qualitative findings indicate that the MSME empowerment policy has been in operation. However, it has not been optimal due to limited resources, weak coordination between agencies, and a public service approach that is not fully participatory. The study's implications emphasize the importance of strengthening cross-sector synergy and empowerment approaches grounded in local wisdom to enhance policy effectiveness. The limitations of the study lie in the number of respondents and the fact that the loci are restricted to a single area. Therefore, further research is recommended to expand the study area and use a longitudinal approach to obtain a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

The PESIAR Program (Petakan, Sisir, Advokasi, dan Registrasi Map, Screen, Advocate, and Register) is an operational instrument of BPJS Kesehatan designed to accelerate the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by increasing National Health Insurance (JKN) membership at the local level. However, the effectiveness of this program’s implementation is strongly determined by the institutional capacity and configuration that support it. This article aims to reposition institutional determination not only as a factor influencing program effectiveness, but as a model of administrative governance in achieving UHC. The study uses a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were obtained through a survey of PESIAR Agents in Semarang City, while qualitative data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and interviews. The results show a strong, positive relationship between institutional determination and the effectiveness of the PESIAR Program. Qualitative findings further clarify that issues of program effectiveness largely originate from institutional capacity, the quality of cross-sector coordination, and the role of PESIAR Agents as field implementers. This study concludes that institutional determination deserves to be positioned as an administrative governance model for the PESIAR Program in promoting the achievement of UHC at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Village Operational Funds (VOF) distribution policy as an instrument for realising good governance principles in the Government of Sorong City. The research focuses on the implementation of fund distribution and the application of transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness in managing Village Operational Funds. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 20 respondents and in-depth interviews with five key informants, including village officials and local government representatives. Additional data were obtained through observations of planning and fund utilisation processes, as well as through analysis of regulatory documentation and accountability reports. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Village Operational Funds distribution policy in Sorong City has not been carried out in accordance with existing regulations, particularly regarding administrative procedures and fund disbursement mechanisms. This condition is primarily caused by the absence or non-disbursement of operational funds at the village level. Furthermore, the application of good governance principles has not been fully optimised due to limited human resources, weak supervision, and low community participation in planning and evaluation. The study concludes that Village Operational Funds have strategic potential as an instrument for promoting good governance if managed transparently and accountably. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, supervision systems, and community participation is essential to support effective village governance in Sorong City.
