Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of decentralization policies on the quality of local public services in the road infrastructure sector and evaluates the role of citizen participation in improving road accessibility in Ermera Municipality, Timor-Leste. Decentralization is viewed as a strategy to enhance service delivery and democratic legitimacy through community involvement, yet its effectiveness is often limited by institutional capacity, fiscal dependence on the central government, and weak citizen participation mechanisms. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with local officials, community leaders, and residents, as well as field observations and document analysis. Thematic analysis was used to process the data, ensuring validity through triangulation. The findings show that while decentralization has increased local government authority in road planning and implementation, fiscal constraints, lack of transparency, and weak coordination limit its effectiveness. Citizen participation has a positive impact on identifying needs and supporting project execution, but it remains largely consultative and insufficiently institutionalized, particularly in monitoring and evaluation. In conclusion, decentralization and citizen participation complement each other in improving local public services. Strengthening the technical and fiscal capacity of local governments and institutionalizing citizen involvement at all stages is crucial for achieving inclusive, responsive, and sustainable road infrastructure. The study offers strategic implications for decentralization reforms in developing countries.

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fluktuasi dan penurunan produksi jagung hibrida dari tahun ke tahun di Kecamatan Sitiung. Kondisi tersebut terkait penerapan teknik budidaya yang belum sepenuhnya sesuai anjuran, sehingga produksi, pendapatan, dan keuntungan belum optimal. Populasi penelitian mencakup 106 petani jagung hibrida yang tersebar pada 7 kelompok tani; sebanyak 48 responden dipilih sebagai sampel dengan teknik proportional random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara berbasis kuesioner, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif-kuantitatif menggunakan rumus analisis usahatani (penerimaan, biaya, pendapatan, keuntungan, dan R/C). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan praktik budidaya secara umum belum sepenuhnya mengikuti kaidah literatur. Rata-rata pendapatan mencapai Rp. 10.963.699,47/Ha/MT, dengan keuntungan Rp. 8.169.766,04/Ha/MT.

Abstract

Traditional food plays a vital role in supporting agriculture and strengthening local industries, yet globalization and lifestyle changes have shifted consumer preferences. This study analyzes Gen-Z’s attitudes toward traditional food in Padang City, West Sumatra, a well-known culinary tourism destination. Using a qualitative approach, 185 Gen-Z consumers were interviewed through non-probability accidental sampling.Results indicate that 54.6% of respondents know how to prepare traditional food, with knowledge largely inherited from parents or family (70.5%). Consumption occurs several times a week (53.5%), most often with family (53.5%) and during cultural ceremonies (25.2%). Purchases are primarily made at food stalls or canteens (68.1%) and outlets (25.4%), rather than cafés or restaurants. Digital platforms are widely used for purchasing (59.4%), with Shopee (39.5%) and Go-Food (26.9%) being the most popular. The main reasons for consumption are authentic taste (50.8%) and affordable price (38.9%). Gen-Z expresses pride in consuming traditional food (52.9%) and a strong willingness to promote it (84.6%), though they also show a considerable tendency toward fast food (52.9%). Future efforts should emphasize food parenting, packaging innovation, and digital marketing to attract Gen-Z preferences and ensure the preservation of traditional culinary heritage.

Service quality and customer expectation are affect customer satisfaction. This study aims to analyze service attributes considered necessary by customers and customer satisfaction to financing services at Sharia MFI-A. This research was conducted in West Sumatra, a province famous for its local principles of “Adat basandi sayarak, syarak basandi kitabullah”. The research was conducted on Sharia MFI-A namely in Agam Regency. The respondents were farmers who received financing in 2022. Five variables were observed: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy and measured using the Likert scale. Data analysis used Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). The results showed that CSI’s score on Sharia MFI-A services is 88.28%, including the range of very satisfied criteria. Customers expressed very satisfaction with the performance of Sharia MFI-A services because the office is clean and comfortable, fast and friendly service, guaranteed customer confidentiality, and proft sharing transparency. T his is by the principles of sharia services, namely fairness, and honesty in transactions (‘adl wa tawazun), maslahah, and does not contain gharar and riba. Customer satisfaction with the services will affect farmers’ loyalty to utilizing financing services from Sharia MFI-A in the future.

Abstract

Tourism is one of the priority sectors for development in Indonesia, as it is seen as having a multiplier effect and the potential to improve the economy, including in rural areas. In this regard, developing tourist villages is one of the strategies implemented. This research aims to determine the role of the regional government of Nagari Sungai Batang, Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province. This research is descriptive in nature with a qualitative approach. The main data come from informants consisting of government officials at the district and Nagari levels, tourism business actors, and tourists. The research results show that the district government and Nagari government have played a role in developing the Sungai Batang Tourism Village, but the role they have played is still not optimal. As facilitators, they have not been able to provide adequate infrastructure and supporting facilities to develop tourist attractions. The knowledge, skills, and interests of community members have not been adequately facilitated and mobilized, so their involvement in utilizing their potential is not yet optimal.  The conclusion of the study is that the government has played a role in the development of the tourism village, but there is still a need for capacity building, strengthening the facilitator role, infrastructure development, and enhancing community involvement so that the potential of Sungai Batang Tourism Village can be maximized sustainably.

Latar belakang penelitian didasari pada Kecamatan Sijunjung yang belum memiliki citra yang melekat sebagai kawasan strategis pariwisata, sehingga belum optimalnya dampak dari pengembangan kawasan pariwisata tersebut. Tujuan penelitian adalah mendeskripsikan pengembangan kawasan strategis pariwisata melalui aspek komponen pariwisata, zonasi wilayah, dan pengembangan desa wisata, serta menganalisis dampaknya terhadap aspek ekonomi, sosial, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan sampel 135 responden. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa KSP Sijunjung memiliki daya tarik wisata yang beragam, namun masih terdapat kekurangan pada aksesibilitas (66,07% objek wisata melalui jalan rusak berat), minim rambu petunjuk jalan, belum ada angkutan umum trayek tetap, dan minimnya rumah makan di beberapa objek wisata.
