Abstract

Although there is no fixed definition for digital maturity, it can be concluded that digital maturity refers to the ability of an organization to use digital technology effectively and efficiently in achieving its strategic goals. This research proposes a new framework to assess the digital maturity of local governments called the Digital Maturity Model for Local Governments in Indonesia (DMM-LGI). The framework has two main dimensions, namely technology adoption and organizational readiness. This research method uses a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. The research process begins with a literature review from scopus-indexed journals, followed by the formulation of a digital maturity framework, measuring the level of digital maturity, identifying a certain level, and providing recommendations for further digital transformation. The results showed that the digital maturity of the local government of Karanganyar regency was at the level of average digitalization, where the main obstacle was that there were limitations in aspects of adequate and quality human resources (HR). In addition, the excessive number of applications and information systems poses new problems, especially related to integration and interoperability. The suggestion for future research is that the concept of digital maturity is dynamic, nothing is fixed and will continue to evolve as science and technology advance

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social movements of the Wadas community related to mining development in Wadas Village. Data sources were obtained by capturing news related to hashtags and at-signs, which Twitter social media users widely use to support resistance and rejection by Wadas people. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data analysis used the NVivo12 software application to visualize the data in graphs, images, and word frequency. The research findings show that the plan to build the Bener Dam in Purworejo District and Wonosobo Regency has experienced a very significant rejection with the circulation of two social movements on social media, Twitter, in the form of hashtags and at-signs as evidence of resistance to the mining project located in Wadas village. #Wadasmelawan is the most popular hashtag often echoed on Twitter social media with a percentage of 3.38%. The Wadas community social movement subsequently used at-sign @Ganjarpranowo, who is also highlighted in the public sphere and social media, is required to resolve mining conflicts due to permits Location Determination (IPL) for andesite mining from the Governor of Central Java Province. Two Wadas social movements using hashtags and at-signs invite a reasonably high response on Twitter users with as many as 89.34% tweets. This means that the community's resistance to mining in Wadas is very significant in getting support from the public.

Abstract

Digital technology has become a certainty in the government development agenda. Currently, the presence of digital government is considered the final point of achievement in e-government development. So far, many digital government development initiatives have been carried out at the local government level. Still, there has not been any research that examines the extent to which digital government development has been carried out at the district/city level using a variable approach to the digital government evolution classification. This research is to fill the void. This research uses secondary data from literature publications of scientific articles related to digital government in the two cities, namely Samarinda City and Balikpapan City. The search for data related to digital government uses the Google Scholar database as a data source. The data search stage is carried out using the Publish or Perish software to classify the resulting publications based on the theme's relevance. Research findings show an increasing research trend and continue to fluctuate every year. The focus of the issues and dominant themes presented have provided new information and understanding regarding how digital governance in the two cities has been implemented so far. Furthermore, the findings of this study also show that, in general, the level of evolution of digital government in both towns in Samarinda City and Balikpapan City has existed in the four available evolutionary stages. Still, some steps are dominant, and others are not dominant.

Abstract

A healthy school environment is vital in promoting the well-being of students, teachers, and the school community. This study aimed to enhance teachers' knowledge and implementation of healthy school practices through a community service program. The initiative involved socialization and training sessions targeting elementary and junior high school teachers in Bontang. The program was structured into three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Educational materials covering healthy school concepts, balanced nutrition, mental health, and environmental assessments were developed, followed by training conducted at Puri Senyiur Hotel, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, from December 1-4, 2024. A total of 83 teachers participated, receiving instruction from health experts. Knowledge assessments were conducted before and after training, analysed using the Wilcoxon test due to non-normal data distribution. Results showed a significant median difference of 20 in knowledge scores (p = 0.0001), indicating substantial improvement post-training. Although the assessment measured short-term effects, the findings suggest a positive increase in awareness. Regular teacher training on healthy schools is essential for preventing malnutrition and fostering better health practices among students. This initiative aligns with governmental efforts to promote healthy eating behaviors in schools. Sustaining such programs requires collaboration between healthcare professionals, universities, and other institutions, along with integrating nutrition education into school curricula.

Abstract

This study critically examines the foundational readiness for digital government transformation by comparing the regulatory and institutional capacities of two major cities in East Kalimantan, Indonesia: Kota Balikpapan and Kota Samarinda. Using a qualitative comparative case study, data were gathered from in-depth document analysis, surveys of eight local government officials, and semi-structured interviews with eight key informants from the Communication and Information Offices. The findings reveal a stark divergence in institutional execution despite similar regulatory frameworks. Kota Balikpapan’s strong technical regulations are hindered by pervasive sectoral ego (reported by all respondents), creating implementation friction. In contrast, Kota Samarinda exhibits a collaborative institutional culture with no inter-agency resistance, driven by its integrative “Smart City Plus” vision and a centralized service platform. The study concludes that mature digital government depends less on regulatory completeness and more on deliberate governance engineering, intentional design of collaborative structures, leadership as integrators, and trust-based operational cultures. This research contributes by asserting that in decentralized contexts, the sociopolitical dynamics of local bureaucracy are the ultimate determinants of success, outweighing technology alone.

Abstract

Food security in Indonesia’s Underdeveloped, Frontier, and Outermost Regions (3T) is shaped not only by ecological and technical constraints but also by governance capacity. This study examines upland rice production trends in Mahakam Ulu Regency (2018–2023) and evaluates Regent Regulation No. 12 of 2021, which provides incentives to dryland farmers. Using qualitative document analysis of secondary data from statistical reports, government documents, and credible media, the study finds that production has declined due to limited infrastructure, restricted access to inputs, and dependence on external supplies. Incentives have encouraged participation and capacity building but remain constrained by weak institutions and insufficient extension services. The findings highlight a design capacity mismatch in local policy implementation. This study contributes to governance and policy literature by showing how local food initiatives in peripheral regions intersect with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2, SDG 1, SDG 4, SDG 8, and SDG 16. Strengthening institutions and embedding monitoring systems are recommended for sustainable outcomes.
