Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the success of the Banyumas Complaint Outlet (Lapak Aduan Banyumas/ LAB) in increasing public trust in the government. One of the goals of bureaucratic reform is to build citizens’ trust, but it is rarely discussed how the bureaucracy initiates bureaucratic reform by building trust in citizens. This research used qualitative research methods, data collection techniques used are interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used were interactive data analysis and content analysis. LAB offers a framework that gives trust to the public to complain, many complaints from the public will create external pressure from the bureaucracy to make improvements to bureaucratic performance. Performance improvements of the bureaucracy will increase public trust. The increase in public trust in the government is evidenced by the high interest of citizens to provide suggestions and input to the government regarding public services or facilities. A simple complaint system and quick response has proven to strengthen public trust. Bureaucratic reform can be started by earning citizens’ trust.

Abstract

This research aims to examine differences in the relationship of bureaucratic and political officials during the New Order (Soeharto’s era) and the Reformation (post-Soeharto) era within the arena of public policy implementation. This is a matter of importance given that there is a change in relations between the two from integration in the New Order to bureaucratic impartiality in the Reformation Era. This study attempts to answer the question: How were the relations of bureaucratic and political officials in the implementation of local level public policy during the New Order and the Reformation Era? A qualitative research has been conducted in Tegal Municipality using the following data collection techniques: interview, focus group discussion, documentation, and observation. Tegal Municipality was selected as the study location because of the unique relationship shown between the mayor and the bureaucracy. Its uniqueness lies in the emergence of bureaucratic officials who dare to oppose political officials, based on their convictions that bureaucratic/public values should be maintained even if it means having to be in direct conflict with political officials. This research indicates that the relationship between bureaucratic and political officials in the arena of local level policy implementation during the New Order was characterized as being full of pressure and compliance, whereas during the Reformation Era bureaucrats have the audacity to hinder policy implementation. Such audacity to thwart policies is considered to have developed from a stance that aims to protect public budget and values in policies. The occurring conflict of values here demonstrates a dichotomy of political and bureaucratic officials that is different from the prevailing definition of politics-administration dichotomy introduced at the onset of Public Administration studies.
