Abstract

This study examines the transformation of customary (ulayat) rights into individual ownership and its implications for land governance in border communities of East Nusa Tenggara, focusing on Wehali Village, Malaka Regency. Existing studies have primarily examined customary land issues from legal, agrarian, and anthropological perspectives, while limited attention has been given to how the conversion of communal rights into individual ownership affects governance legitimacy and institutional authority in indigenous border communities. Wehali was selected as a strategic case because it remains a major center of customary governance in Timor while experiencing increasing interaction with state-led land administration reforms. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving customary leaders, community representatives, and government actors. The findings show that customary institutions continue to regulate communal land through traditional leadership structures such as Liurai, Loro, Nain, and Fukun. However, the expansion of formal land certification has shifted authority toward legal-rational administrative systems that prioritize individual ownership. This transformation has generated institutional dualism, governance fragmentation, declining compliance with adat norms, and uncertainty in land governance. The study further reveals that the sustainability of customary land governance depends on institutional resilience, community compliance, and state recognition. The novelty of this research lies in conceptualizing customary land transformation as a governance transition process and proposing an Integrated Governance framework in which collaborative governance mediates the relationship between customary legitimacy and formal administrative authority. The study contributes to Indigenous Public Administration by demonstrating that indigenous institutions perform key public administration functions related to resource management, dispute resolution, participation, and collective decision-making. The findings highlight the importance of collaborative governance and participatory land administration for sustainable governance in indigenous border regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Free Medical Treatment Program Using Identity Cards (KTP) at Wedomu Community Health Center, East Tasifeto District, Belu Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The analysis was based on Richard M. Steers' (1985) effectiveness theory, which includes goal attainment, system approach, and strategic constituencies approach. The findings indicate that the program has been fairly effective in improving public access to healthcare services and reducing medical expenses. From the goal attainment perspective, the program has facilitated easier access to healthcare services for the community. From the system approach perspective, the program is supported by funding, healthcare personnel, and service facilities, although limitations in human resources and supporting infrastructure remain. From the strategic constituencies perspective, beneficiaries expressed a high level of satisfaction with the services received. Supporting factors include local government commitment, healthcare workers’ dedication, and strong public demand for affordable healthcare services. Meanwhile, the main obstacles include limited healthcare personnel, inadequate service facilities, and insufficient public understanding of program procedures. Therefore, strengthening human resources, improving healthcare facilities, and enhancing program socialization are necessary to ensure sustainable improvements in healthcare service effectiveness.

Abstract

This article examines the crisis of social solidarity in meritocratic societies, which is driven by increasing social inequality and individualism. While meritocracy ideally ensures equal opportunities for all individuals, in practice, it often deepens social disparities and weakens communal bonds. This study aims to explore how the revitalization of social solidarity can serve as a solution to the fragmentation caused by meritocratic systems. Using a theoretical approach based on communitarianism, this article analyzes various strategies to strengthen social ties, such as community engagement, social capital development, and inclusive policy reforms. The findings indicate that social solidarity can be restored through active participation in community activities, increased involvement in broader social networks, and the implementation of policies that balance individual achievements with collective interests. Thus, revitalizing social solidarity is not only essential in addressing the negative impacts of meritocracy but also in fostering a more just and inclusive society.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program for pregnant women at Peot Community Health Center, Borong District, East Manggarai Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design and utilized the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Informants consisted of the Head of the Health Center, MCH Program Coordinator, healthcare workers, and pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that, in the context dimension, the MCH Program is highly relevant to community needs and addresses maternal health issues such as anemia, chronic energy deficiency, and high-risk pregnancies. In terms of input, the program is supported by adequate human resources, healthcare facilities, and an innovative funding scheme known as the Seuntais Movement. Regarding the process dimension, the program has been implemented in accordance with healthcare service standards through several innovations, including the Pregnant Women Companion Midwife Program, partnerships between midwives and traditional birth attendants, the Lonto Leok community forum, and the Stunting and Maternal Mortality Alert System. In the product dimension, antenatal care coverage reached 100% during 2022–2024 and contributed to maintaining zero maternal mortality in recent years. However, child health examination coverage remains between 82% and 86%, indicating the need for further improvement.

Abstract

Ketimpangan ketenagakerjaan dan kemiskinan di Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) merupakan isu penting yang saling kait-mengait. Keterbatasan akses pendidikan, dominasi sektor informal, dan ketidaksetaraan dalam kesempatan kerja menjadi latar belakang yang memperburuk kondisi ketenagakerjaan dan kemiskinan di NTT. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif dengan metode tinjauan pustaka yang mengandalkan data sekunder dari berbagai studi terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kualitas tenaga kerja yang rendah, upah yang tidak mencukupi, dan ketergantungan pada sektor informal menjadi faktor utama penyebab kemiskinan di NTT. Rekomendasi kebijakan yang diajukan mencakup peningkatan akses pendidikan vokasi, program sertifikasi untuk pekerja informal, dan pengembangan sektor informal yang mampu menyediakan pekerjaan dengan upah layak.
