Abstract

The issue of waste management in Panca Rijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, is the main focus of this study, considering the high volume of poorly managed waste and its negative impact on public health and the environment. This study aims to evaluate the waste management policy, which is expected to address these issues. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling, involving informants from the local government, UPT Waste Management employees, and the local community. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using NVivo 12 software. The results of the study show that the waste management policy in Panca Rijang District has had a positive impact on raising public awareness about the importance of waste management. However, its implementation still faces several challenges that hinder the effectiveness of the policy, such as limited facilities, low public participation, and insufficient supervision. The policy evaluation based on indicators of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy reveals that while the policy is fairly effective, there are still disparities in service, especially in remote areas, and inadequate facilities. The main obstacles identified in this study are the lack of waste management facilities, low public awareness, and limited funding for better management. This study provides valuable contributions to the local government in improving waste management, focusing on enhancing facilities, inter-agency coordination, and public education to support the sustainability of more effective, efficient, and equitable waste management policies in the future.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of digital communication in building public trust in local governments, with a focus on the Sidenreng Rappang Regency Government. In the context of digital governance, social media serves as a strategic instrument to bridge communication between government and society; however, its effectiveness in fostering public trust remains a challenge. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations of official government social media, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that digital communication practices are still dominated by informative approaches that emphasize information dissemination rather than interactive engagement. While this approach contributes to transparency and the formation of cognitive-based trust, it has not been effective in fostering relational trust characterized by responsiveness, integrity, and empathy. A gap also exists between government communication strategies and public expectations, particularly in terms of interaction and participation. Practically, these findings suggest that local governments and public communication managers need to shift from one-way informational communication toward more dialogical and engagement-based strategies. This includes strengthening responsiveness to public feedback, developing interactive content, and adopting more empathetic communication styles. Such improvements are essential to enhance sustainable public trust and ensure the effectiveness of digital governance practices.

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.
