Abstract

This study aims to analyze the empowerment of culture-based MSMEs in Wit-Witan Market, Alasmalang Village, Banyuwangi Regency, from a state administration perspective. Wit-Witan Market is a local economic development model that integrates the preservation of the Osing Tribe's cultural identity with productive economic activities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how cultural capital in the form of traditional culinary, traditional clothing, and the concept of an environmentally friendly market is converted into economic capital with high bargaining power. The results show that empowerment in Wit-Witan Market applies a bottom-up scheme that places the community as the main actor, while the village government acts as a facilitator through collaborative governance involving Pokdarwis, BUMDes, and local residents. This integration has succeeded in creating a new economic space that improves community welfare without eliminating the authenticity of local traditions. However, this study also identified several crucial challenges, namely fluctuations in traders' income influenced by weather factors and seasonal visits, as well as the inconsistency of managerial capacity building and digital financial literacy programs from related agencies. Theoretically, the success of the Wit-Witan Market reflects the effectiveness of the implementation of Community-Based Tourism (CBT) and collaborative governance in creating sustainable economic independence. Although it has become a good practice in local wisdom-based economic development, it is necessary to strengthen the commitment to collaboration, continuously scheduled mentoring, and periodic evaluation to ensure the sustainability of the economic and social impacts for the local community in the future.

Abstract

Unequal data security and digital literacy among village officials are major obstacles to the digitalization of public services at the village level. This study aims to analyze the digital literacy of village officials and examine its relationship with technology acceptance and the implementation of impactful public services towards a smart village. The study used a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The study population was village officials in Blitar Regency, East Java; a quantitative sample of 80 officials from eight villages, supplemented by 14 qualitative informants. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a statistical technique for testing relationships between variables; qualitative data were analyzed thematically and integrated to explain quantitative findings. Descriptive results show the highest perception of technology usefulness (average 4.06), while digital security was the lowest (2.96). PLS-SEM results prove that digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on perceived ease of use (β=0.639) and perceived usefulness (β=0.547). Both encourage system use, which subsequently has a strong influence on impactful public services (β=0.614). However, perceived ease of use did not significantly influence perceived usefulness. This finding confirms that human capabilities, not simply the availability of technology, determine the quality of digital services. The study concludes that strengthening digital literacy is a strategic lever for realizing smart villages and impactful public services, which requires support from tiered training, data security standards, and inclusive mentoring.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internal oversight strategy in overseeing the accountability of free motor vehicle inspection services (KIR testing) at the UPT PKB of the Sidoarjo Regency Transportation Agency after the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2022 and Sidoarjo Regency Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2024. This retribution exemption policy institutionally shifts the organization's orientation from fulfilling regional fiscal targets to becoming a pure public value producer unit focused on transportation safety. However, the loss of budgetary control instruments creates new challenges in the form of internal moral hazard, such as the potential for decreased apparatus discipline and procedural negligence (rubber-stamping). Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with a purposive sampling technique, this study collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the UPT PKB Sidoarjo successfully mitigated these risks through adaptive built-in control system engineering based on Bovens' three dimensions of public accountability. In the professional dimension, technical supervision is carried out through computerized testing equipment integrated with Electronic Test Pass Certificates (BLUE) and a digital Audit Trail system. In the administrative dimension, daily data reconciliation is carried out between the number of vehicles in the lane CCTV cameras and the issued BLUE certificates. Meanwhile, in the social dimension, a QR Code complaint channel is provided that is directly integrated with the Indonesian Ombudsman. This study concludes that the effectiveness of accountable and integrity-based toll-free services is largely determined by management's commitment to enforcing a strict digital monitoring strategy to reduce the subjective discretion of officers in the field.

Abstract

This conceptual review uses a Theory-Focused Narrative Literature Review with a Theory-to-Practice orientation to synthesize boundary-spanning perspectives and translate them into a practice framework for Expert Staff (Tenaga Ahli) of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), whose work spans twelve policy-heterogeneous partner institutions. Drawing on 17 peer-reviewed journal articles assessed in full text through six documented Scopus search streams, the review traces the development of boundary-spanning scholarship from structural-organizational accounts to role and behavioral, competency-relational, team-level, and interorganizational/multilevel-governance perspectives. Evidence from public-sector and policy-advisory settings is then assessed according to its direct relevance or reasoned transferability to legislative expert staff who lack formal sanctioning authority over partner institutions. The synthesis yields four traceable practice domains: individual role diagnosis and competency development, team workload distribution, cross-partner coordination forum design, and trust-based bridging without formal authority. The article contributes a context-sensitive translation of boundary-spanning scholarship into practice options for a heterogeneous parliamentary advisory environment. The framework is not an empirically validated model; it is an evidence-informed and testable starting point whose application requires organizational authorization, contextual adaptation, and subsequent field evaluation.
