Abstract

This research aims to examine the political participation of members of the Sorong City DPRD in the making of local regulations. The research adopts a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. Respondents in this study are members of the Sorong City DPRD and relevant parties in the process of making local regulations. The results indicate that the political participation of members of the Sorong City DPRD in the making of local regulations is still low. This is due to various factors such as the limited access to information and the time constraints that DPRD members have to study draft local regulations. In addition, internal DPRD policies that restrict the participation of DPRD members in the process of making local regulations also pose obstacles. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase the political participation of DPRD members in the making of local regulations in Sorong City. Efforts that can be made include expanding access to information and providing training related to the making of local regulations to DPRD members. Additionally, there is a need to change internal DPRD policies that accommodate the participation of DPRD members in the process of making local regulations. It is expected that with increased political participation of DPRD members, the resulting local regulations can be more responsive to the interests of the community

Abstract

This research examines the challenges in implementing e-government services in Bulo Village, which uses the SIBERAS application to improve accessibility and transparency of public services. Although this application is designed to facilitate community access to services, there are various obstacles to its acceptance and utilization. The main objective of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the acceptance of SIBERAS services using the UMEGA model. The approach used in this research is quantitative, with data collection through questionnaires distributed to 112 active users of SIBERAS. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that performance expectations, effort expectations, and social influence have a significant positive relationship with user attitudes toward SIBERAS services. In addition, facilitating conditions and user attitudes affect the intention to continue using this service. This study indicates that technology acceptance in rural areas is influenced more by perceived benefits and ease of use than by risk or infrastructure readiness concerns. Therefore, practical factors such as ease of access and direct benefits from using the application have a greater influence in driving technology adoption than other risk or facility readiness issues

Abstract

This study discusses the utilization of information technology in supporting the implementation of e-government in Sipodeceng Village, Baranti District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. E-government is a public service digitalization initiative aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and accountability in government administration. The objective of this research is to explore how information technology is applied to support government services and to analyze the factors that influence its utilization. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants in this study include the village secretary, the web management staff, and members of the community who use digital village services. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12 software to identify dominant themes. The findings show that information technology, through the SIBERAS application, has had a positive impact on administrative service processes, particularly in terms of speed, efficiency, and data recording. However, several obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy among residents, limited internet infrastructure, and some community members’ preference for traditional, face-to-face services. The factors influencing technology utilization include social factors, affective responses, system complexity, task suitability, long-term consequences, and the availability of supporting facilities. This study recommends enhancing digital literacy training and optimizing technological infrastructure as strategic steps to support the sustainability of e-government at the village level.

Abstract

This study examines policy directions for data protection and security in smart cities from a digital communication governance perspective by integrating regulatory frameworks, technological innovations, and communication-based governance mechanisms to address emerging digital risks. A systematic mapping study guided by the PRISMA protocol was conducted using the Scopus database, covering publications from 2015 to 2024 and employing a comprehensive search strategy on smart cities, data protection, privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, and Internet of Things security. The study applies two complementary approaches: bibliometric mapping using RStudio-Biblioshiny and CiteSpace to identify thematic clusters, keyword citation bursts, and topic evolution, and qualitative policy-oriented synthesis of high-impact and highly relevant studies to translate bibliometric patterns into actionable policy insights. The findings reveal three dominant conceptual domains: technology ecosystems (e.g., IoT, artificial intelligence, blockchain), privacy-enhancing techniques (e.g., federated learning, differential privacy, cryptography), and regulatory and governance frameworks (e.g., GDPR compliance, consent management, and fundamental rights). From a communication perspective, these domains are closely linked to processes of digital information exchange, risk communication, transparency, and citizen engagement within smart city systems. The results demonstrate that effective data protection in smart cities depends not only on strong synergy between technical safeguards and policy governance, but also on how data-related risks and policies are communicated, understood, and trusted by the public. This study proposes a multi-level policy framework linking regulatory instruments, privacy-enhancing technologies, and institutional governance mechanisms, complemented by communication-based approaches such as transparency, risk communication, and public engagement, operating across city, national, and cross-border levels. The study contributes to smart city governance and communication literature by offering an explicit and integrative policy model that supports adaptive, citizen-centered, and sustainable data protection strategies in the digital age.
