Abstract

This study analyses the drivers of low food security in Palopo City, Indonesia, and proposes locally relevant policy options. As an autonomous buffer city that supports surrounding regions through food distribution and trade, Palopo remains under-examined in debates on food security governance. The study contributes by foregrounding the governance challenges facing buffer cities while aligning with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), particularly Targets 2.1–2.5 and 2.a–2.c on ending hunger, improving nutrition, strengthening sustainable and climate-resilient food systems, increasing agricultural investment, and stabilising food markets. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research draws on official documents, regional policy instruments, and peer-reviewed literature. Data were analysed systematically in NVivo 12 Plus through import, coding, relationship mapping, and visualisation to identify recurring patterns. The findings indicate that Palopo’s food security is constrained by limited local production, shrinking agricultural land, climate-related pressures on yields, weak distribution and logistics infrastructure, low purchasing power, and ineffective policy implementation. Inadequate logistics increase transport costs and contribute to price volatility, while poverty and food inflation restrict access to nutritious food. Policy priorities include boosting productivity via appropriate technologies and food diversification, upgrading distribution through technology-enabled logistics, strengthening purchasing power through food-based local economic programmes, and improving the targeting and effectiveness of subsidies and food assistance.

Abstract

The idea of a smart city and a new capital city in Indonesia is complex, so planning and the government's role are crucial. The purpose of this research is based on two big questions about the government's plan for preparing for development and the potential for smart city development in the new capital city. This study was done based on the results of a direct examination of official government documents using a thematic analysis approach and an analytical tool called Nvivo 12 Plus. This research was able to show what the Indonesian government's plans are and what they could do to build smart cities in the new capital city (IKN/Nusantara). The findings of this study map out six smart city support systems, which are the government's priority plans, including urban systems, safety and security, livability and urban life, government services, the environment and sustainability, and access and mobility. They all focus on technology adaptation, digitization, renewable energy, and sustainability. Despite these priority plans, there are still significant challenges to rethinking the prospects and potential for developing smart cities in the new capital city, especially the issues of human resources, budget capacity, infrastructure, and government bureaucratic adaptation patterns. This study proposes to set up a smart governance system to adapt to the new system, primarily to accommodate those problems and challenges. It can contribute to unravelling smart cities' complexities, challenges, and future development potential.
