Abstract

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of the Adhoc Agency's role in handling voter list updates in general elections, with a focus on Tegal Timur Subdistrict, Tegal City. Updating the voter list is a crucial stage in the conduct of elections as it determines the accuracy of voter data and the legitimacy of election results. The study employs Performance Prism analysis using the Nvivo software tool, based on transcripts of interviews with two commissioners and the Chair of the Election Commission (PPK). The research findings indicate that the Ad Hoc Body has a clear function, but its effectiveness is still hindered by several factors, including high population mobility, which leads to an increase in issues, low public participation in population administration, and the inadequate development of technology that should support the performance of election organisers. These findings occurred during the 2024 general and regional elections. Overall, these findings underscore that the challenges in updating the voter list are multidimensional. Administrative and technological barriers cannot be separated from participatory and structural aspects. Therefore, collaboration is needed between stakeholders of the Ad Hoc Agency and the government through a comprehensive and inclusive approach that not only focuses on updating the information system but also encourages active community involvement, whether through strengthening human resources or socialisation, and enhancing institutional capacity to ensure accuracy and fairness in the compilation of the voter list.

Abstract

With a focus on three significant media outlets Kompas.com, CNN Indonesia, and TVOne this study attempts to examine media sentiment regarding the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) in Indonesia. Positive, negative, neutral, and mixed sentiment were the four categories into which sentiment was divided using a descriptive qualitative technique with content analysis. The findings indicate that neutral emotion predominates in all three media outlets' news coverage, with more descriptive and educational articles about the program's execution. However, negative sentiment also emerges, particularly in relation to issues of food poisoning and distribution constraints. On the other hand, although it is less common, positive attitude emphasizes the program's success and support. Both praise and criticism of this policy are reflected in the mixed sentiment. These results demonstrate that the media not only contributes to the dissemination of accurate information but also influences public opinion by drawing attention to certain problems. The usefulness of Agenda Setting theory in comprehending how the media decides which issues the public should find essential is also demonstrated by this study. This study's modest sample size just 15 articles from each media source and only three online news media sites were examined may not accurately represent the whole range of MBG coverage in Indonesian media. In order to map the dynamics of sentiment changes towards MBG over time, more study is advised to increase the sample size by incorporating more news sources from other platforms, including social media, and extending the data collection period.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation, impact, and supporting and inhibiting factors of budget efficiency in governance, focusing on Indonesia, Singapore, and Argentina. The approach used is a Systematic Literature Review of publications from 2020–2025, which are analyzed bibliometrically to map the dynamics of fiscal policy, budget management methods, and institutional structures that affect the efficiency of public resource allocation. The results of the study show that Indonesia implements efficiency through austerity policies and budget transfers to priority programs, Singapore emphasizes flexible results-based reallocation supported by comprehensive digitalization, while Argentina prioritizes radical fiscal reform through spending cuts and bureaucratic restructuring. These policies have proven capable of improving fiscal indicators and increasing fiscal space, but at the same time they create trade-offs in the form of the risk of economic slowdown and significant social burdens if they are not balanced with protection for vulnerable groups. Limitations in this study that need to be acknowledged by the academic community. Operational studies on the budget policy implementation process are limited by the use of secondary data. Future research should use a mixed-method approach or more measurable quantitative analysis. The database should be expanded to include non-Scopus sources such as Google Scholar, SSRN, and official government policy Keywords:  Efficiency; Budgeting; Government; Governance;

Abstract

Agrarian conflicts arising from urban spatial planning have generally been examined from legal and land tenure perspectives, while limited attention has been given to how public administration processes shape unequal access to land and influence conflict resolution. This study addresses this gap by integrating Nancy Peluso’s Theory of Access and Dwight Waldo’s Public Administration Theory to analyze the administrative process of urban spatial planning, the interactions among institutional actors, and the mechanisms of agrarian conflict resolution in the Tegal Railway Station area. A qualitative case study approach was employed through in-depth interviews with representatives of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), the Tegal City Government, the National Land Agency (BPN), and Panggung Village, supported by court decisions and policy documents. The findings indicate that the conflict originated from overlapping claims between PT KAI’s historical grondkaart rights and the community’s long-term occupation since the 1950s. The administrative process was characterized by fragmented inter-agency coordination, limited participation of affected communities, and weak institutional integration, resulting in the prioritization of state asset protection over substantive conflict resolution. Although financial compensation was provided following the demolition of 22 buildings in March 2020, the legal status of the disputed land remained unresolved. The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that agrarian conflicts in urban spatial planning should be understood not merely as legal disputes over land ownership but also as governance challenges involving unequal access to resources, institutional coordination, and democratic public administration. Strengthening participatory planning, legal certainty, and integrated inter-agency governance is therefore essential for achieving socially just and sustainable urban development.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam dinamika pencalonan calon legislatif dari kelompok penyandang disabilitas dalam pemilihan umum di Indonesia. Fokus kajian diarahkan pada ketimpangan politik, faktor penyebab kekalahan, persepsi publik, serta strategi penguatan partisipasi elektoral difabel dalam sistem politik nasional. Meskipun kerangka hukum nasional telah mengakui hak politik penyandang disabilitas, pelaksanaannya di tingkat praksis masih menghadapi hambatan yang bersifat struktural dan kultural. Beberapa di antaranya meliputi diskriminasi administratif dalam proses pencalonan, keterbatasan sumber daya ekonomi, minimnya dukungan dari partai politik, serta rendahnya tingkat literasi politik di kalangan penyandang disabilitas. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan Systematic Literature Review yang dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak NVivo 12 Plus. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kekalahan calon legislatif dari kelompok disabilitas erat kaitannya dengan lemahnya jejaring sosial-politik, terbatasnya modal kampanye, serta kuatnya sentimen negatif masyarakat terhadap kapabilitas mereka. Persepsi publik cenderung dibentuk oleh stigma paternalistik daripada penilaian atas kompetensi objektif. Sebagai respons terhadap temuan tersebut, studi ini menawarkan model penguatan partisipasi politik difabel melalui tiga pendekatan utama: (1) pengembangan pendidikan politik yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan, (2) pembentukan aliansi strategis antara komunitas disabilitas, LSM, dan aktor politik, serta (3) penyediaan pelatihan dan skema pembiayaan afirmatif. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat memperluas wacana tentang demokrasi yang inklusif sekaligus mendorong reformasi struktural dalam sistem politik Indonesia agar lebih akomodatif terhadap representasi kelompok disabilitas.

Abstract

This study originated from the issue of how local governments can adjust their communication strategies to changes in community behavior, which is increasingly dependent on social media, particularly TikTok, as a means of public information. The purpose of this study is to reveal local government digital communication strategies through TikTok and the communication models used to increase community participation. The method used is a literature review with bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database as the main source, focusing on publications from 2020 to 2025, and processed through the Biblioshiny tool to map trends, themes, and research collaborations. The results of the study show that the use of TikTok by local governments has grown significantly, with fluctuating but increasing publication trends, and a shift in research focus from general issues of government communication to themes of crisis, digital literacy, and sustainability. These findings confirm the role of TikTok as a strategic medium in building adaptive, interactive, and inclusive public communication.

Abstract

This research addresses the topic of data security threats in the public sector, which has become a major concern along with the digitization of public services and the increasing incidence of cyberattacks. The aim is to analyze the main threats, including human error, internal threats, as well as external attacks such as ransomware and phishing, that can compromise the privacy and security of public data. Using a qualitative approach and bibliometric analysis, the study included a review of 192 Scopus articles from 2014 to 2024 and VOSviewer as a data processing tool for the data generated. The results indicate that data security in the public sector requires a multidisciplinary approach, including innovative technologies such as AI and blockchain, stronger data privacy regulations, and effective incident response mechanisms. The research concludes that global collaboration and an integrated approach are essential to address the increasingly complex challenges of data security while ensuring safe and reliable public services.
