Abstract

Through the implementation of the Village Law in 2014, the Indonesian government seeks to promote rural development and village autonomy by decentralizing power. The 2014 Village Law has two important points: the village fund and the extension of a village head’s term. This article tested to what extent the village fund has impacted the village head election and whether the village fund has improved villagers’ political participation in running for the village head election. The method used in this study is quantitative through a survey of 96 random village head candidates in the 2016 village head election in 117 villages in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. The findings show that the village funds have an impact on the quality of the nomination of village heads and facilitate the public’s involvement in the election. This phenomenon underscores the importance of village funds in encouraging democratic practices and the grassroots community’s participation in village governance. Changes in regulations of village fund implementation influence the participation of village residents in running for village head election, encouraging them to participate in the democratic process at the village level.

Abstract

Indonesia’s tobacco excise policy has revealed a paradox between its normative objectives and the realities of its implementation. On one hand, the policy aims to reduce cigarette consumption and increase state revenue. On the other hand, successive excise tax hikes have triggered a rise in illicit cigarette circulation, undermined legal small-scale tobacco industries, and exacerbated socioeconomic inequality. This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review to examine the dynamics of tobacco excise policy using public policy theory, policy effectiveness, and socioeconomic disparity frameworks. The findings show that ineffective enforcement, weak distribution systems, and the absence of stakeholder inclusion have prevented the policy from achieving its intended outcomes. The sharp increase in excise taxes without sufficient oversight has created economic incentives for black-market activity, while also driving mass layoffs in small and medium-scale tobacco manufacturing. These outcomes confirm the theory of circular cumulative causation: policies that fail to integrate with social-economic realities tend to reinforce cycles of inequality and regulatory evasion. Therefore, a reformation of Indonesia’s tobacco excise policy is urgently needed—one that emphasizes fairness, effectiveness, and responsiveness through improved oversight, equitable fiscal distribution, and inclusive policymaking involving local communities and small businesses.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of media in the communication of flood management policies in Banjarmasin City, an area prone to flooding due to its geographical characteristics and rapid urbanization. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and content analysis of local media coverage. The data were analyzed using techniques of data reduction, thematic categorization, and narrative interpretation. The findings reveal that the government's communication strategy remains predominantly top-down, relying heavily on digital media and technocratic narratives that are often difficult for the public to comprehend. Local media play a significant role in disseminating policy information but tend to favor government perspectives while providing limited space for civil society voices. The study also identifies several communication challenges, including unequal access to information, weak inter-agency coordination, and limited public dialogue. These findings highlight the need for a reformulation of flood policy communication strategies to be more dialogical, participatory, and community-based to enhance public awareness, preparedness, and active engagement in disaster mitigation.

Abstract

This community service program aims to empower Karang Taruna RT 26 Sungai Ulin, Banjarbaru, by strengthening skills in producing and marketing handicraft products, particularly beaded bracelets, as part of the creative economy. Despite their potential, members face several obstacles, such as limited technical abilities, lack of entrepreneurial knowledge, restricted market access, and the absence of distinctive products. The program applies a participatory approach, engaging members directly in production training, entrepreneurship workshops, digital marketing strategies, and business management mentoring. The main targets include improving production skills among at least 80% of members, preparing a practical business management plan, and launching digital marketing with an initial goal of 100 bracelet sales within two months. Additional outcomes involve product design innovation, collaboration with local shops and online platforms, and increasing members’ income by 30% within six months. Overall, this program seeks to enhance youth economic independence while promoting sustainable, community-based creative economic growth in Sungai Ulin.
