Abstract

This study addresses the lack of an operational framework that systematically integrates local wisdom, empirical evidence, and governance mechanisms in coastal community empowerment. While previous studies have examined these elements separately, limited attention has been paid to their interaction within an integrated and context-sensitive model. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the ineffectiveness of empowerment programs and to develop a contextual empowerment model in Seribu Regency, DKI Jakarta. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving 26 purposively selected informants, supported by observation and document analysis. The findings indicate that ineffective empowerment is driven by top-down policy design, weak institutional coordination, limited infrastructure, and dependency-oriented program implementation. At the same time, local wisdom such as cooperation, deliberation, and ecological knowledge emerge as important supporting factors when integrated into the empowerment process. This study proposes an integrative and adaptive empowerment model based on three pillars: local wisdom, evidence-based policy, and participatory governance, operationalized through a cyclical learning mechanism. This study provides a contextual and operational framework that strengthens the linkages between cultural values, empirical data, and policy practices in coastal development.

Abstract

This study analyzes strategies for optimizing local financial management through the strengthening of good governance within the framework of Public Financial Management (PFM) to improve the financial performance of the West Bandung Regency (KBB) government. The research background is based on low fiscal autonomy, reflected in the contribution of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) of around 18–24% and high dependence on central government transfers (±75–77%), resulting in limited fiscal discretion and making it difficult to transform public spending into measurable public value. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design, involving cross-actor interviews (Bappelitbangda, BKAD, Inspectorate, OPD, academics), a review of financial management cycle documents (from planning to accountability/LKPD), and triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The research findings indicate that the process has proceeded in accordance with regulations; however, the leverage over the fiscal structure is determined by substantive governance: the validity of planning data, the consistency of documents and audit trails, internal controls from the outset, and cross-OPD coordination. Performance from 2020 to 2024 improved managerially (PAD effectiveness >100%, SiLPA decreased) but PAD remains small and operational expenditures are dominant (±67–70%). The SWOT analysis places KBB in Quadrant III (IFAS 2.40; EFAS 2.47), so a turnaround strategy is prioritized through a package of data governance, quality assurance, change control/document locking, a single source of truth, and a learning loop for oversight findings.
