Abstract

The blue economy concept emphasizes a balance between economic growth, marine environmental conservation, and improving the welfare of coastal communities. Nunkurus Village has great potential to be developed as a model for blue economy-based salt pond management. There are several problems that need to be addressed, such as technological limitations and institutional aspects that are not yet functioning optimally. Research is needed to examine strategies for optimizing salt pond management in Nunkurus Village within the framework of sustainable blue economy development. This research is important because it uses a blue economy approach to optimize salt ponds in Nunkurus Village, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The results of this research indicate that the adoption of technology in Nunkurus Village's salt ponds is still low, weak coastal spatial planning, and a lack of preparedness for climate change cause the ponds to operate inefficiently and be vulnerable to weather disruptions. Salt ponds in Nunkurus Village can only produce 70–80 tons of salt per hectare per year with NaCl content ranging from 90–93 percent, resulting in consistently low selling prices. The optimization strategies that can be implemented are (1) increasing technology adoption and (2) enhancing human resource professionalism and institutional capacity.

Abstract

Purpose: This study discusses the problem of neutrality of civil servants in the government of Malaka Regency. There are indications of violations committed by civil servants during the campaign period. Research methodology: This research is a case study where the researcher investigates the phenomena that exist in the field. Results: (1) The dilemma of neutrality of civil servants in the 2020 Malaka Regional Election occurred because civil servants did not have the power or capacity to fulfill all aspects that would make them neutral, namely legal, material, strategic or superior aspects such as aspects of political action. (2) The cause of the neutrality dilemma for civil servants is due to the patron-client factor and position compensation. Limitations: Researchers find it difficult to meet civil servants in the Malaka district. Contribution: Propose efforts to prevent the dilemma of neutrality of civil servants in the 2020 Malaka Regional Head Election by implementing a merit system, clear division of tasks and free from political interference, rational hierarchical authority structure, impersonal relations between members, mechanism for appointment or recruitment and promotion of employee positions civil service based on technical skills and bureaucratic reform.

Abstract

Background This study examines the imbalance between emergency response funding and long-term recovery financing following the 2024 eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Flores. The research aims to determine whether the global pattern, marked by rapid and substantial funding during the response phase and a sharp decline during recovery, also appears in this local context. Methods A qualitative approach was employed by combining a systematic review of disaster-financing literature in Asia with empirical data from East Flores. Data were collected through document analysis, official reports, and in-depth interviews with humanitarian practitioners and local authorities. Thematic coding was used to analyze patterns in funding flows, institutional constraints, and community experiences. Results Findings reveal a structural gap between response and recovery funding. Support during the emergency phase was abundant, while recovery efforts faced limited and inconsistent financial resources. This shortfall contributed to delays in permanent housing, unclear relocation processes, disrupted education services, loss of livelihoods, and heightened social and psychological stress among affected communities. Conclusions The study highlights the need for long-term recovery funding schemes, stronger coordination mechanisms, and greater community involvement in recovery planning. These insights underscore the importance of improving disaster-recovery governance in low-fiscal island regions such as Eastern Indonesia.

Abstract: Policy papers are essential tools in public policy advocacy, providing concise, evidence-based recommendations for policymakers. However, limited knowledge and skills in policy paper writing among researchers at Litbang Kabupaten Alor have hindered effective policy decision-making. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to enhance the understanding and skills of 30 Litbang staff through training sessions comprising lectures, interactive discussions, and simulations. Participants acquired hard skills, such as policy paper writing techniques involving problem analysis, formulation of policy options, evidence-based recommendations, and soft skills, including critical thinking, collaborative communication, and strategic decision-making. Evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in participants' scores, from an average of 48% in the pre-test to 82% in the post-test, reflecting the success of the participatory approach employed during the training. Additionally, more than 75% of participants actively engaged in discussions and practical simulations, further strengthening their technical and collaborative skills. This program underscores the importance of continuous training and mentoring to produce innovative and strategic policy papers that support effective governance.
