Abstract

Strengthening village governance through local wisdom and simple digital technology is a strategic approach to addressing participation and transparency challenges. This community engagement program was implemented in Busalangga Barat Village, Rote Ndao Regency, aiming to revitalize the local value of madene and introduce a Microsoft Excel VBA-based village administration information system. The program utilized community education, technology simulation, advocacy, mediation, and consultation methods, structured into four stages: problem identification, material development, core implementation, and remote monitoring and evaluation. The program began with a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving traditional leaders, village officials, youth, and women's groups. The discussion generated a shared awareness that madene—as a cultural expression of mutual cooperation—remains relevant in restoring participatory governance and village deliberation practices. The system training enabled village officials to manage population data and generate administrative documents automatically. The application also integrates real-time population updates, such as changes following birth, death, or migration events. This activity demonstrates that cross-regional collaboration combining local values with appropriate digital technology can drive social transformation and improve public service delivery at the village level. This model is adaptable and replicable in other rural contexts with appropriate adjustments.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of policies at the Technical Infrastructure Management Unit of Transportation of NTT Province- Region 1 in carrying out local government policies related to user fees in supporting Regional Original Revenue (PAD). This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach using four indicators of policy implementation, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results showed that the implementation of the program was carried out with limitations in terms of the availability of personnel and also the budget, but it was considered inefficient because of the small nominal in addition to cost cuts/budget efficiency and the lack of personnel because it covered two terminals. Another obstacle is the attitude of the community who are still reluctant to pay the mandatory retribution and still use shadow terminals. In conclusion, although there are still some obstacles, this program has been implemented in accordance with the applicable SOP provisions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Bersaudara Farmers Group in increasing agricultural production in Oelbubuk Village, Mollo Tengah District, Timor Tengah Selatan Regency, and to identify the inhibiting factors. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, involving the village head, agricultural extension officer, group management, members, and community representatives. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Bersaudara Farmers Group has functioned as a learning class through training, counseling, mentoring activities, and the adoption of innovations such as cultivator use and banana-leaf pot trays, which improved efficiency and reduced production costs. As a cooperation forum, the group established partnerships with government agencies and other institutions that contributed to increased production and land expansion, although some collaborations were temporary. As a production unit, the group provided agricultural facilities and facilitated marketing to inter-regional markets; however, collective product storage remains suboptimal and overproduction occurs during peak harvest periods. Inhibiting factors include weak institutional management, low member participation, limited capital, internal conflicts, limited water access, price instability, and climate and pest disturbances. It is concluded that although the group’s role has been implemented, it is not yet optimal and requires institutional strengthening and better production planning to achieve sustainable agricultural production improvement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) technology in improving agricultural productivity in Nagekeo Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving informants from the Department of Agriculture, agricultural extension workers, farmers, and community members. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, while the policy implementation analysis applied George C. Edward III’s framework, which includes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results indicate that the implementation of CSA in Nagekeo Regency has been carried out through socialization, training, and field assistance for farmers. However, its implementation has not been optimal due to several constraints, including communication barriers, limited human resources, and weak institutional coordination. In addition, some farmers are still hesitant to adopt new technologies due to conventional farming practices, limited knowledge, and farming risks. Therefore, strengthening policy communication, improving farmers’ capacity, intensifying extension services, and enhancing institutional coordination are necessary to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of CSA.

Abstract

Village customary institutions were formed with the hope of creating an understanding in building villages according to local values, but this goal cannot be realized according to the character of the local community and tends to exist traditional institutions only to fulfill the village government structure formally but do not have a role in the community empowerment planning process. The research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach with information determined purposively with a total of 23 people, then the researcher will carry out the stages of data collection according to Creswell (2016:254-255) as qualitative observation, qualitative interview, search for qualitative documents) and qualitative audio and visual materials. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using data analysis techniques from Creswell (2016). The results of the study found that the implementation of community empowerment policies by the indigenous institutions of Haumeniana Village based on the policy implementation model from Donald Van Meter and Carl E. Van Horn (1975) found that; (1) policy standards have been flawed so that they tend to be bad policies that have been bad since the beginning, (2) human resources, incentives and infrastructure facilities are insufficient, (3) communication between organizations and strengthening activities are still ineffective, (4) the characteristics of implementing agents are constrained at the vertical level, (5) economic conditions in jurisdictions or implementing organizations are not enough to support policy implementation, (6) The disposition of the implementer is always ready to support the village government as a partner in empowering the community.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in East Flores Regency, which, despite over a decade of execution, has not yielded significant improvements in poverty reduction, behavioral change, or independence among beneficiary families. The research aims to evaluate the program’s effectiveness across key indicators, including targeting accuracy, service productivity, administrative performance, and resource utilization. Using a qualitative policy evaluation approach, the study collects both primary and secondary data through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 96 informants. Data were analyzed using Creswell’s spiral analysis technique and assessed via the Discrepancy Evaluation Model. Findings indicate numerous challenges: delayed and misallocated aid, inadequate coordination, insufficient equipment, and irregular monitoring. While PKH has helped reduce short-term financial burdens, it has not yet achieved long-term goals such as empowering recipients or reducing poverty cycles. The study recommends enhancing data accuracy, decentralizing fund distribution, and improving infrastructure and stakeholder coordination. These findings contribute to policy refinements that can increase the relevance, efficiency, and impact of PKH, especially in remote and underserved regions like East Flores.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji pengawasan Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD) dalam pengelolaan Dana Desa di Desa Riangbao, Kecamatan Ileape, Kabupaten Lembata, di tengah fluktuasi alokasi dana Rp1.003 miliar (2022) hingga Rp1.041 miliar (2024) yang tidak diimbangi transparansi dan partisipasi masyarakat yang memadai, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpercayaan publik terhadap akuntabilitas pengelolaan. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis mekanisme, efektivitas, dan tantangan pengawasan BPD pada tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pertanggungjawaban Dana Desa. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus digunakan, melibatkan 17 informan kunci dari pemerintah desa, BPD, dan masyarakat yang dipilih melalui purposive dan accidental sampling hingga data saturation tercapai; data dikumpulkan via wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan triangulasi sumber, teknik, serta waktu. Hasil menunjukkan pengawasan BPD berjalan secara administratif namun terbatas: pada perencanaan, keterlibatan BPD minim dalam mengawal aspirasi masyarakat ke RKPDes/APBDes; pada pelaksanaan, pemantauan lapangan jarang akibat keterbatasan waktu anggota BPD yang mayoritas petani; pada pertanggungjawaban, laporan administratif terpenuhi tetapi transparansi publik lemah melalui baliho umum tanpa rincian. Penelitian menyimpulkan perlunya penguatan kapasitas BPD dan sinergi dengan masyarakat untuk meningkatkan akuntabilitas, dengan implikasi praktis bagi tata kelola desa yang lebih partisipatif di wilayah terpencil.

Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan model Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat telah berpartisipasi aktif dalam pelaksanaan ritual melalui gotong royong dan kerja sama kolektif, namun keterlibatan dalam perencanaan dan pengambilan keputusan masih didominasi oleh tokoh adat. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat belum mencapai tingkat kendali warga karena kewenangan strategis masih terpusat pada elit adat.

Abstract

Amidst the prevailing patriarchal culture that dominates various life dimensions, particularly in politics, women's political representation emerges as a beacon of change. Women often face multifaceted socio-political challenges, necessitating them to invest more resources and effort than their male counterparts to make their mark in politics. This research examines the roles and contributions of female legislators in the NTT Provincial DPRD for the 2019-2024 tenure, particularly in aligning with the interests of political parties and the broader categorization of women in legislative bodies. The strategies employed to allocate positions to women are diverse, reflecting their aspirations to enhance their influence and access in politics. These aspirations are anchored in the desire to bolster the capacities of women and youth in political spheres. Emphasizing the significance of economic, social, and political capacities, this study underscores the need for women to possess financial resources, robust social networks, and political acumen to navigate and thrive in the political landscape.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji efektivitas pelayanan kesehatan di Puskesmas Oelbiteno dalam upaya meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat di Kecamatan Fatuleu Tengah, Kabupaten Kupang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui teknik wawancara, observasi, kuesioner, serta dokumentasi yang melibatkan tenaga kesehatan dan masyarakat sebagai informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelayanan kesehatan di Puskesmas Oelbiteno telah dilaksanakan melalui program promotif, preventif, kuratif, dan rehabilitatif. Namun demikian, efektivitas pelayanan belum berjalan secara optimal karena masih terdapat berbagai kendala, seperti keterbatasan tenaga medis, sarana dan prasarana yang belum memadai, kekurangan obat dan alat kesehatan, hambatan geografis wilayah, serta rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya pelayanan kesehatan. Selain itu, kualitas pelayanan juga masih dipengaruhi oleh beban kerja petugas kesehatan serta komunikasi antara petugas kesehatan dan pasien. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya peningkatan sumber daya manusia, perbaikan fasilitas pelayanan, serta penguatan pelayanan kesehatan berbasis masyarakat guna meningkatkan efektivitas pelayanan kesehatan secara berkelanjutan secara menyeluruh di wilayah tersebut.
