Abstract

North Sumatera has implemented regional autonomy and fiscal decentralization policies in its regional finances. However, North Sumatera is still experiencing social inequality when viewed from the distribution of income and economic growth in various regions. Balancing funds consisting of revenue-sharing funds (DBH), general allocation funds (DAU), special physical allocation funds (DAK physical), special allocation funds for health (DBOK) and special allocation funds for education (DBOP) are expected to reduce income inequality and improve the economy in North Sumatera. This study aims to analyze the effect of balancing funds on income inequality and economic growth in North Sumatera in 2017-2021. This study uses the panel data regression method, with data obtained from BPS North Sumatra and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance, Ministry of Finance. The findings of this study indicate that DBH and DBOK allocations have a significant effect on reducing income inequality. In addition, DAU, DAK physical, and DBOP have not had a significant impact on reducing income inequality. On the other hand, DBOK and DBOP allocations significantly influence economic growth. Meanwhile, DBH, DAU, and DAK have not had a significant physical impact on the regional economy. The regional government in North Sumatra is expected to restore the function of the balance fund, which is to equalize regional development, reduce income inequality, improve the economy, and improve the welfare of the people. Balance funds are not used for the interests of several parties in personnel expenditures and government office operations.

Abstract

Toba Caldera UNESCO Global Geopark (TCUGG) has not only geological phenomena of international geological significance value but also has outstanding universal value by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The establishment of TCUGG as a national priority and the Lake Toba Authority Agency is a serious commitment from the government to develop this region. Although it is now a super-priority tourism destination, over the last six decades, the water level of Lake Toba has decreased significantly by 2.4 cm per year from 1957 to 2016. The environmental quality index shows a decline from year to year, and environmental conditions of Lake Toba are already very severe due to various factors. The government and local communities are still running independently for the conservation agenda. This empirical research uses a mixed method of sequential explanation. The main objective of the research is to analyze the determinants of local people's choices to participate in conservation activities in TCUGG. From the research results, the significant factors that determine the local communities' participation in conservation activities are water availability, incentives, suitability of seeds, trust level for the initiator, and the success rate of previous conservation. Society does not need promises or rhetoric, especially for those who have participated before and experienced low success rates. Application of reward and punishment as an incentive for the community to participate in conservation activities and to further encourage their motivation. The main key is to serve the needs of the community in conservation practices.

Abstract

Poverty reduction strategies should refer to who and why poverty occurs to make sustainable development programs effective for the welfare of society. The research aims to describe the problem conditions of the farmer households in Mutunggeding Village, Umalulu District, East Sumba Regency, with an overview of natural assets and human and physical resources. The research method used descriptive qualitative based on secondary and primary data from observations, documentation, and in-depth interviews with 102 randomly selected farmers to answer 41 key questions. The study results found that most farmers were young farmers with paddy fields and gardens, had low education and had supporting skills and good health. However, these land assets have yet to function optimally to meet household economic needs due to a scarcity of subsidized fertilizers, minimal hand tractors, and uneven distribution of irrigation water. This condition will be even more severe if the farmer must bear the burden of customs and culture, so you must go into debt and pawn your paddy fields. On the other hand, the strength of the community's social assets is a strong capital to survive against poverty. Therefore, the Government needs to strengthen the synergy of farmer groups, agricultural BP3K, and BUMDesa in overcoming the fundamental problems experienced by farmers and also needs to strengthen the institutional capacity of BUMDesa as a foundation for improving the people's economy.

Abstract

Fiscal decentralization is an effort by the central government to distribute regional development by providing fiscal balance funds to regional governments. The fund aims to promote regional self-sufficiency and community welfare throughout Indonesia. Riau is one of the provinces implementing fiscal balance funds and has high regional income in various sectors. However, the human development of some regions in Riau is unequal, even though the fiscal balance issued by the government continues to increase. This study aims to explore the fiscal balance funds, which consist of revenue sharing funds (DBH), general allocation funds (DAU), special physical allocation funds (DAK Physical), and special non-physical allocation funds (DAK Non-Physical), will affect human development in Riau Province from 2017 to 2022 in terms of health, education, and standard of living. This study used 72 observations from 12 cities/regencies in Riau obtained from Statistics Indonesia, and it was conducted by using a quantitative approach through panel data regression. This study produces three estimation models for each aspect of human development. REM is the model chosen to answer the three research models. The results in the first model showed that DAK Physical and DAK Non-Physical influenced human development in the health aspect. The second model was DAK Non-Physical, which significantly affected human development in education. Finally, DBH, DAU, and DAK Non-Physical significantly affected human development in aspects of decent living standards. Fiscal balance funds affect every aspect of human development in Riau. Fiscal planning and budgeting by local governments in Riau with targeted support are needed to further human development.

Abstract

Several studies in the private sector have shown that social nudge has proven successful in changing behavior in various settings. For instance, social nudge is effective in involving more people in energy conservation and plastic waste recycling behavior. Social nudge has shown great promise as behavior change intervention in both the public and private sectors worldwide because they produce highly effective results at low cost while enabling the target group whose behavior is expected to change to maintain their autonomy. This study aims to examine whether social nudges can successfully overcome civil servant disciplinary problems in Indonesia, especially issues related to the tardiness behavior of civil servants. The study employed an experiment method with the one-group pre-post-test design and the two-step intervention, which was applied to 15 participants who were civil servants at Rumah Sakit Khusus Daerah Dadi (A Regional Specialty Hospital of South Sulawesi, Indonesia). The results showed that the average number of respondents' tardiness time before the intervention (pretest) is higher than the results of the first intervention (t = 3.367, p < 0.05) and the second intervention (t = 11.003, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that social nudge is proven effective in reducing tardiness and complements the predetermined strategies to overcome the problem of tardiness in civil servants. This study is potentially the first to examine social nudges' effectiveness in government settings. The study was conducted in three weeks between 21 September 2020 and 9 October 2020.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic as a non-natural disaster has made many countries aware of reform in healthcare systems and services and disaster management, including Indonesia. The high intensity of natural disasters in Indonesia and the presence of non-natural disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic have become the government's momentum to carry out better mitigation in the future. This study aims to identify and analyse the gap between the existing conditions and the ideal conditions for the needs of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the health and disaster management sector in the future. Using a gap analysis approach with qualitative data collection, this study shows a significant gap between the availability of ASN compared to the number of ASN needed in the health and disaster management sectors in Indonesia. Moreover, to make the health and disaster management sector successful, this study formulates the need for ASNs in strategic positions: Specialist Doctor, General Practitioner, Dentist, Pharmacy and Food Supervisor, and Rescuer. In addition, this study suggests the need for developing ASN competencies in this sector, such as digital services, biotechnology, nanotechnology, integrated flood management, construction of drinking water supply systems and landfills, risk management, and review analysis and mitigation
