Abstract

Rapid urbanization in emerging economies frequently outpaces environmental planning, creating severe ecological deficits. In Indonesia, Law Number 26 of 2007 mandates that local governments maintain at least 30% of their urban area as green open space (RTH). However, compliance remains critically low in secondary cities. This study employs a Sequential Explanatory Mixed-Methods design to evaluate the implementation gap in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. Utilizing longitudinal policy data from 2019 to 2023, a stratified random survey of 300 residents, Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this research quantifies the divergence between statutory targets and spatial reality. Results indicate a critical implementation gap, with Public RTH covering only 2.23% of the urban area, far below the 20% public target. While the total RTH area increased by 11.05% over five years, the growth rate is insufficient. Spatial analysis reveals a Gini coefficient of 0.65, highlighting severe inequality where green space is concentrated in administrative cores while peri-urban districts remain green deserts. Structural Equation Modeling confirms that Political Will (beta = 0.62) significantly influences implementation success, while Resource Constraints (beta = -0.48) act as a critical inhibitor. Qualitative analysis identifies a resource trap, where decentralized governance incentivizes revenue-generating infrastructure over environmental assets. The study concludes that achieving the 30% target requires a paradigm shift from state-centric planning to collaborative governance and the establishment of a municipal Land Banking Agency.

Abstract

As Indonesia’s Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) transitions from an expansionary phase to maturity, it faces the classic iron triangle of health policy: the tension between expanding access, containing costs, and maintaining quality. While coverage rates have soared, critical questions remain regarding the equitable distribution of these benefits in a post-pandemic landscape. This study employs an Integrative Systematic Review design, synthesizing high-impact quantitative and qualitative evidence published between 2021 and 2024. Data were extracted from six primary studies utilizing large-scale national datasets (SUSENAS, IFLS) and policy reviews. The analysis moves beyond simple pooling to perform a narrative synthesis of adjusted Odds Ratios (aOR) for utilization and benefit incidence, assessing the structural determinants of effective coverage. The synthesis reveals a distinct inverse equity trade-off. While JKN ownership significantly increases the probability of inpatient utilization (aOR: 2.35), the benefits are unevenly distributed. A middle-class capture phenomenon is evident, where upper-middle-income groups experience a 41% reduction in out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure compared to 38% for the poorest quintile. Furthermore, a quality gap persists, with non-poor populations seeing a greater reduction in unmet needs (10.4%) than the poor (7.7%), largely driven by supply-side rigidities in remote areas and administrative literacy barriers. In conclusion, JKN has successfully dismantled financial entry barriers but has not yet resolved structural inequities. The system currently functions as a regressive subsidy where the urban middle class extracts disproportionate value. Future policy must pivot from coverage expansion to supply-side equity, implementing geographic capitation differentials and targeted non-medical benefits for vulnerable populations to close the gap between legal entitlement and effective access.
