Abstract

Customary land conflicts are one of the structural problems that continue to arise in agrarian resource management in Indonesia, especially in areas with high intensity of resource extraction-based development. In the context of decentralization, local governments have significant administrative authority in determining territorial boundaries and managing social conflicts. This study aims to critically analyze the role of the West Kutai Regency Government in resolving the customary land conflict between Muara Tae Village and Muara Ponaq Village, which is centered on the Utaq Melinau customary forest area. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and policy document analysis. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive model, with Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict and authority theoretical framework and Fisher and Ury's conflict resolution theory. The results show that the local government procedurally positioned itself as a neutral mediator through dialogue facilities and administrative mechanisms. However, structurally, the government remains an authoritative actor that shapes the arena of conflict through policies on the determination of administrative boundaries. The neutrality of the local government is administrative in nature, but does not fully reflect substantive justice because administrative decisions have a direct impact on the legitimacy of customary land claims and the distribution of access to resources. This conflict also has an impact on ecological degradation and changes in the economic structure of indigenous communities.The theoretical contribution of this research lies in the development of the concepts of procedural neutrality and structural neutrality in local agrarian conflicts. Practically, this research emphasizes the need to reformulate the of territorial boundary policies based on the recognition of customary rights, participatory verification, and community-based ecological protection.

Abstract

Human trafficking in Indonesia's border regions is closely linked to illegal or non-procedural migration practices, particularly in Nunukan Regency, which borders Malaysia. This situation is exacerbated by a highly centralized governance structure, which limits the role of local governments in responding to the rapid and informal nature of migration and human trafficking. This study aims to analyse the policy framework for handling human trafficking crimes in the context of illegal migration, highlighting the limitations of local government authority in a decentralized system. This study uses a literature review and qualitative policy analysis based on documents, including laws and regulations, national and regional policies, relevant academic literature, and reports from international organizations. The analysis was conducted using a transnational governance framework and the concept of delegated authority. The results of the analysis show that there is a governance gap in the supervision of non-procedural migration, data collection on migrant workers, cross-border coordination, and initial protection of victims of human trafficking due to the dominance of central government authority. These findings are analytical and normative, not empirical, and show that the limitations of local governments' roles are a consequence of the policy's institutional design. This study concludes that the development of a limited, accountable delegated authority scheme has the potential to strengthen local governments' roles in border areas in addressing the link between illegal migration and human trafficking, and recommends further empirical research to test its effectiveness in implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of digital public services using the SAMAGOV application in the Pelabuhan sub-district of Samarinda City. The digitization of public services is part of local government efforts to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accountability of services to the community in line with developments in information technology and the implementation of the Smart City concept. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Research informants include the Village Head, Village Secretary, village officials/staff, and the community as users of digital public services. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, using four dimensions of digital public service quality as the analytical framework: usability, reliability, responsiveness, and citizen support. The results showed that the SAMAGOV application improved the accessibility and efficiency of administrative services at the village level, especially for people with adequate digital literacy. However, obstacles persisted among the elderly and users with limited technological capabilities, who required assistance from village officials. In terms of reliability, digital services still face technical disruptions affected by the stability of servers and networks managed at the city level. However, the village administration has demonstrated a high level of responsiveness and support through direct assistance and the provision of digital services. Overall, the quality of digital public services through the SAMAGOV application in Pelabuhan Village is quite good, but still requires continuous improvement, particularly in strengthening technological infrastructure, increasing human resource capacity, and expanding digital literacy and awareness among the community.

Abstract

The Village Consultative Body (BPK) is a representative institution of the community that plays an important role in village governance, particularly in discussing village regulations, channeling community aspirations, and supervising the performance of the village government. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BPK's functions in Sakaq Tada Village, Mook Manaar Bulatn Subdistrict, West Kutai Regency, and to examine the compatibility between normative provisions and empirical practices in the field. This study uses a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of informants, including the BPK Chair and Members, Village Officials, village government officials, and the Head of the Neighborhood Association (RT). Data analysis was conducted inductively using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model, which includes the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that normatively, the BPK has carried out its three main functions in accordance with applicable regulations. However, empirically, the implementation of these functions has not been fully optimal. The legislative function is still limited to discussing routine regulations; the supervisory function has not been carried out systematically; and the function of channeling community aspirations is often carried out through informal mechanisms. This condition is influenced by limited human resource capacity, minimal technical training, and suboptimal institutional working mechanisms at the BPK. This study concludes that strengthening the BPK's role requires increasing institutional and human resource capacity, as well as strengthening coordination between the BPK and village governments to support more effective and accountable village administration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Environmental Governance (GEG) in settlement development in Mugirejo Village, Samarinda City, and its implications for flood vulnerability. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation in Mugirejo Village, Samarinda City. Research informants consisted of officials and staff from the Housing and Settlement Agency, the Environmental Agency, the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Samarinda City, and Mugirejo Village officials involved in settlement and environmental development management. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions by referring to the seven GEG principles as an analytical framework. Data validity was tested using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of GEG in settlement development in Mugirejo Village has not been optimal and is still dominated by an administrative-procedural approach. Weak law enforcement, limited public participation, and institutional fragmentation are the main factors that hinder the effectiveness of environmental governance. These conditions have increased flood vulnerability due to land conversion and uncontrolled settlement expansion. This study recommends strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing more inclusive public participation, and consistently enforcing environmental regulations to support sustainable and flood-resilient settlement development.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Neighborhood Association (RT) fund policy in supporting community empowerment programs in RT 11, Belimbing Sub-district, BTN PKT Bontang Housing Complex. The government allocates Rp 50 million to each RT for empowerment activities; however, community participation in programs such as MSME training, urban farming, and supplementary feeding for toddlers remains relatively low. Participation typically ranges from 12–15 residents (60–75%) out of the 20-person quota, despite adequate funding. The objective of this study is to analyze factors influencing the implementation of the RT fund policy using George C. Edward III's policy implementation framework, which includes four variables: communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using purposive sampling. Twelve informants participated, including the Head of Belimbing Sub-district, the Head of RT 11, and eight community residents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings show that communication functions effectively through formal meetings and WhatsApp groups. Resources are considered adequate, including financial support, facilities, and technical assistance, with funds distributed in the form of goods rather than cash. The disposition of implementers reflects a strong commitment, though some residents face limitations due to work schedules. The bureaucratic structure also operates regularly through community deliberation mechanisms. Overall, the implementation of the RT fund policy runs relatively well, supported by the four variables proposed by Edward III. Nevertheless, increasing community participation remains a challenge due to socioeconomic factors, particularly work commitments and time constraints. These findings suggest the importance of flexible program scheduling to accommodate working residents better and enhance participation in government-funded empowerment programs.
