Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness, competitiveness, and responsiveness of the Bontang City Government’s policies in improving the regional investment climate within the framework of economic diversification. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-evaluative method, which combines policy evaluation and interpretive analysis to assess how investment-related programs are implemented and how stakeholders perceive their outcomes. Data were collected through documentation, observation, and interviews with government officials, business actors, and community representatives, then analyzed using the six evaluation criteria proposed by William N. Dunn—effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. Findings indicate that although Bontang has made significant progress through the implementation of the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, the establishment of the Public Service Mall, and the enactment of Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2017 on Investment, various structural barriers remain. Bureaucratic inefficiency, weak inter-agency coordination, limited investment promotion, and insufficient human resource capacity hinder policy outcomes and reduce investor confidence. Moreover, policy responsiveness is still concentrated on the oil and gas sector, with less attention given to emerging industries such as tourism, creative economy, and renewable energy. The study concludes that an adaptive and integrated governance model is essential to ensure that investment policy effectively supports sustainable and inclusive regional economic transformation

Abstract

The demands of the green economy and RSPO standards have compelled a global transformation of palm oil governance. However, an empirical anomaly exists in Paser Regency, where the massive expanse of smallholder plantations contrasts sharply with the low rate of certification adoption among oil palm smallholders. This study aims to evaluate the level of substantive success and unravel the root of systemic constraints in the implementation of RSPO standards for oil palm smallholders using Merilee S. Grindle’s theoretical framework of policy implementation. Adopting a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, data were gathered through technical triangulation involving in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies, and subsequently analysed by dissecting the variables of policy content and implementation context. The evaluation results demonstrate that the policy instrument has successfully transformed the governance behavior of a minority group of oil palm smallholders through the rationality of premium price incentives. Nevertheless, these achievements have not been replicated on a mass scale due to the administrative pathology of the local government. Local governments have been degraded into passive administrators due to the double burden of national regulations and international standards. This state institutional failure is validated through the paralysis of land legality administrative services, the absence of audit financing subsidies, and the lack of a persistent technical assistance system. This study concludes that the failure of sustainability adoption is purely rooted in the structural weaknesses of public services rather than the cultural rejection of oil palm smallholders. This study recommends affirmative interventions, including bureaucratic simplification of land title processes, specific budget allocations, and the institutionalisation of field assistance, to prevent oil palm smallholders from being eliminated from the global supply chain.

Abstract

Target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasizes the importance of education for sustainable development, global citizenship, human rights, and cultural diversity in the education system. This study aims to develop a roadmap for the implementation of Target 4.7 in East Kalimantan, emphasizing cross-sector collaboration as a strategic approach. The method used is exploratory qualitative through in-depth interviews and policy analysis of stakeholders in the education, environment, and social sectors. The study results show that East Kalimantan has great potential to integrate sustainability values into the local curriculum, supported by regional development planning documents and strong policy commitments. However, the implementation process still faces significant challenges such as institutional fragmentation, the lack of operational indicators for Target 4.7, and limited inter-sectoral coordination capacity. Recommendations from this study include the establishment of a multi-level partnership model involving local governments, academics, NGOs, and the private sector, as well as strengthening monitoring and evaluation mechanisms based on local indicators. The roadmap is expected to serve as a strategic reference for improving the effectiveness of sustainable education integration in regional policies, in line with East Kalimantan's vision of becoming an advanced and sustainable economic superhub. Through a transformative and inclusive approach, cross-sectoral collaboration is considered crucial to ensuring the systemic, measurable, and sustainable implementation of Target 4.7.

Abstract

Digital transformation in public administration is a strategic effort to achieve governance that is effective, efficient, and accountable. This study examines the implementation of the Rapid Introductory Letter Administration Service System (SIMANTAP) in Samboja District as a digital innovation in personnel services, aiming to identify factors that hinder its optimal operation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants included the Head of Samboja District, the Head of the General and Personnel Subdivision, and SIMANTAP operators at district and village levels. Data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, using Edward III’s policy implementation model, encompassing communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that initial socialization of SIMANTAP reached 85% of target personnel but lacked ongoing communication. While 90% of staff demonstrated readiness and positive commitment, only 60% had stable access to functional computers and reliable internet. No dedicated budget exists in the regional budget (APBD), and structured monitoring mechanisms are absent. The study concludes that SIMANTAP has strong potential as a district-level e-government model, but its adoption is constrained by limited technological infrastructure, inadequate budgetary support, and a lack of systematic evaluation. Strengthening policy guidance, enhancing staff capacity, modernizing ICT infrastructure, and allocating budgets are critical to ensuring sustainable and effective implementation.

Abstract

This study examines the governance of the handover of infrastructure, facilities, and public utilities in housing areas in Balikpapan City by focusing on regulatory compliance, institutional coordination, administrative mechanisms, and stakeholder participation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach supported by in-depth interviews, document analysis, and field observations involving local government officials, developers, community representatives, and related institutions, this research analyzes the implementation of handover policies and identifies major challenges affecting their effectiveness. The findings indicate that although regulatory frameworks are well established, their implementation remains inconsistent due to weak institutional coordination, incomplete administrative documentation, limited verification mechanisms, variations in developer compliance, and low levels of community participation. These conditions reflect gaps between policy objectives and operational practices, which are influenced by limited institutional capacity and fragmented communication among stakeholders. The study further reveals that effective governance in the handover process requires strong collaboration, integrated administrative systems, continuous supervision, and greater transparency. Strengthening document management, enhancing human resource capacity, and expanding participatory mechanisms are essential to improve accountability and sustainability. This research contributes to the understanding of housing governance by highlighting the interdependence of regulatory, administrative, and social dimensions in public infrastructure management and provides practical insights for policymakers in developing more transparent, accountable, and sustainable governance frameworks for housing development and public service delivery.

Abstract

This study aims to know the impact of community-based Waste Bank Program in improving the community environmental awareness in Bontang City, particularly in terms of changes in knowledge, attitudes, and environmentally responsible behavior. This study employed an associative quantitative design using a survey approach. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 100 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. The independent variable was the impact of community-based Waste Bank Program, while the dependent variable was environmental awareness. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results indicated that the implementation of the Waste Bank Program has a positive and significant effect on community environmental awareness. The program improves public understanding of waste management, strengthens positive attitudes toward environmental protection, and promotes environmentally responsible behavior, particularly in waste sorting and reduction practices. These findings suggested that community-based waste management can serve as an effective public policy instrument in promoting sustainable environmental behavior at the local level. The novelty of this study lies in its quantitative evaluation of Waste Bank implementation in a coastal industrial city, thereby providing empirical evidence to strengthen local environmental governance and community-based waste management policies.

Abstract

Recent developments show scholars argue that when electronic government systems reach certain stages, they will develop into Digital Government. However, studies on Digital Government evaluation, especially in the Indonesian context, are still few. With that in mind, this article aims to describe the maturity of the digital government system in the Population and Civil Registry Office (Disdukcapil) of the Kutai Kartanegara Regency. It is based on the assumption that Disdukcapil has successfully implemented electronic government, as proven by their multiple recognitions and can be considered at the digital government stage. Field observation and in-depth interviews with key informants are employed to collect the relevant data. All the data are then analyzed qualitatively, and then it uses digital government evolution variables developed by Janowski (2015) to determine the stage of Disdukcapil digital government. The result shows that within a four-stage maturity level, the digital government of Disdukcapil of Kutai Kartanegara Regency has reached the third stage, based on the fulfilment of each stage's variables. It is hoped that this study can contribute to Digital Government studies in Indonesia
