Abstract

Regional autonomy in Indonesia aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government administration through decentralization. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, especially in fiscal inequality, the quality of public services, and transparency and accountability of governance. Regional dependence on central transfer funds hinders financial flexibility, while disparities in human and administrative capacity exacerbate development inequality. Other obstacles include a sluggish bureaucracy, low use of information technology, and weak supervision of regional policies, which contribute to the rampant practice of corruption and maladministration. This study uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government as well as literature studies to evaluate the effectiveness of local government governance. The results of the study show that improving the fiscal transfer mechanism, optimizing Regional Original Revenue (PAD), digitizing services, and strengthening the supervision system and public participation are strategic steps in increasing the effectiveness of regional autonomy. Policy reform based on good governance and transparency is a key factor in creating an accountable and responsive local government to the needs of the community. With these steps, it is hoped that local governance in Indonesia can run more optimally and sustainably

Abstract

The 2024 regional elections (Pilkada) have their own unique characteristics, one of which is the emergence of young figures who have directly entered the world of politics. One of the campaign media used is billboards, which are spread across various cities in Indonesia. Billboards are outdoor media commonly used by presidential and legislative candidates to convey campaign messages. Generally, campaigns are conducted thematically and tailored to specific objectives. By starting the campaign early, candidates hope to attract sympathy and gain support from the public. The purpose of this study is to determine the semiotic meaning of photos in Giring's campaign billboards as a candidate for President in 2024. The focus of this research is how the visual meaning in the billboards is analyzed using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach with a qualitative descriptive method. In general, semiotics can be defined as the study of signs, including the elements of the signifier and the signified. Roland Barthes stated that the sign system reflects societal assumptions in the context of a particular time and place. In semiotic analysis, there are three main concepts in understanding visual meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the tension between policy centralization and regional autonomy, changing the dynamics of governance in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by regional governments in managing the pandemic, and its impact on central-regional relations in the context of post-pandemic governance. The findings show that policy centralization at the peak of the pandemic required close coordination between governments, but limited the flexibility of regional governments to adjust policies to local conditions. Despite the decline in regional revenues due to the pandemic, several regions showed high adaptability, such as the implementation of digital-based public service systems. In the post-pandemic era, there is an opportunity to reform central-regional relations, by prioritizing a hybrid model that provides more flexibility to regions while maintaining central oversight. This study suggests the need for broader fiscal decentralization, capacity building of regional institutions, and development of more efficient coordination systems to address future challenges. This study provides insights into more inclusive and responsive governance in the post-pandemic era.
