Abstract

Environmental Policy in West Kalimantan is an important issue because this province is in an area that is prone to environmental problems such as forest degradation. West Kalimantan has significant environmental problems. One of them is forest and land fires which cause air pollution (smog) in the West Kalimantan area which is more pronounced in the Mempawah, North Kayong, Kuburaya, Pontianak and surrounding areas. Then Deforestation and Habitat Destruction, which is forest encroachment and land conversion for the development of agricultural activities (oil palm) which results in habitat destruction for wildlife and also worsens the quality of the surrounding environment. in this way we will find out what the West Kalimantan government's policy is regarding the environmental issue (karhutla) of forest and land fires in 2023.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of the implementation of the Street Children Development Program in Pontianak City during 2023–2024, a period marked by an increase in the number of street children from 29 to 37 individuals, along with the emergence of new issues such as drug and alcohol misuse. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and drawing upon Edward III’s (1980) theoretical framework, the research examines four key variables of policy implementation: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants, consisting of 8 representatives from the Social Affairs Office, 4 from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), and 3 from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) of Pontianak City. The findings indicate that disposition particularly the attitudes and commitment of implementers serves as the primary driving variable that compensates for limitations in resources. Moral commitment and empathy among implementers emerge as critical enablers of successful program implementation. Meanwhile, resource constraints have stimulated adaptive innovations through collaborative strategies and resource pooling with partner institutions. The study demonstrates that in the context of social policy, human factors (disposition) can offset material constraints (resources), while communication through task forces and supportive bureaucratic structures creates an implementation ecosystem in which these variables reinforce one another despite limited resources. Overall, the findings reveal that implementer disposition functions as a compensatory mechanism for resource limitations, while cross-sectoral collaboration through task forces constitutes an effective strategy for fostering implementation synergy. The study recommends institutionalizing collaborative models, strengthening resource capacity, and enhancing bureaucratic flexibility to optimize the effectiveness of future street-children development programs.
