Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Neighborhood Association (RT) fund policy in supporting community empowerment programs in RT 11, Belimbing Sub-district, BTN PKT Bontang Housing Complex. The government allocates Rp 50 million to each RT for empowerment activities; however, community participation in programs such as MSME training, urban farming, and supplementary feeding for toddlers remains relatively low. Participation typically ranges from 12–15 residents (60–75%) out of the 20-person quota, despite adequate funding. The objective of this study is to analyze factors influencing the implementation of the RT fund policy using George C. Edward III's policy implementation framework, which includes four variables: communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using purposive sampling. Twelve informants participated, including the Head of Belimbing Sub-district, the Head of RT 11, and eight community residents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings show that communication functions effectively through formal meetings and WhatsApp groups. Resources are considered adequate, including financial support, facilities, and technical assistance, with funds distributed in the form of goods rather than cash. The disposition of implementers reflects a strong commitment, though some residents face limitations due to work schedules. The bureaucratic structure also operates regularly through community deliberation mechanisms. Overall, the implementation of the RT fund policy runs relatively well, supported by the four variables proposed by Edward III. Nevertheless, increasing community participation remains a challenge due to socioeconomic factors, particularly work commitments and time constraints. These findings suggest the importance of flexible program scheduling to accommodate working residents better and enhance participation in government-funded empowerment programs.

Abstract

The recurrence of single candidate regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies in the 2020 and 2024 elections raises questions about the effectiveness of institutional reform in expanding local electoral competition. Although Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 lowered the nomination threshold and theoretically opened wider opportunities for political parties to nominate alternative candidates, this study shows that such institutional change did not automatically alter the configuration of electoral contests in the two regions. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from official election documents, Constitutional Court decisions, laws and regulations, academic publications, and media reports related to regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies. The analysis employs the perspective of political party pragmatism and the office-seeking orientation in coalition formation. The results of the study show that the recurrence of single-candidate elections was shaped by the consolidation of political party support into large coalitions behind dominant candidates who possessed strong political capital, incumbency advantages, wider political networks, and higher electability. Under these conditions, political parties, including smaller parties, tended to prioritize electoral victory and access to power rather than promote alternative candidates. As a result, coalition building became increasingly pragmatic and contributed to the weakening of electoral competition across two consecutive electoral periods. This study shows that the recurrence of single-candidate elections is better understood not merely as an institutional issue, but as a reflection of pragmatic political party behavior in local electoral politics.

Abstract

Bureaucratic reform positions the management of civil servant human resources (ASN) as a strategic instrument in achieving a professional, effective, and performance-oriented bureaucracy. This study aims to evaluate policies on ASN human resource management in supporting bureaucratic reform at the Regional Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM) of Mahakam Ulu Regency. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-evaluative design. Research subjects were selected purposively, including leaders and personnel involved in staffing management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis, such as regulations, personnel documents, Employee Performance Targets (SKP), and bureaucratic reform reports. Data analysis used William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework, which includes effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The results indicate that policies have been implemented in accordance with regulations and have maintained administrative functions. However, they have not been fully effective in improving individual and organizational performance. Implementation remains procedurally oriented, while competency development has not been fully based on organizational needs. These findings highlight that policy success should be measured by its impact on performance and the achievement of bureaucratic reform goals.

Abstract

Studi ini dilatarbelakangi oleh keprihatinan masyarakat yang terus berlanjut mengenai layanan penerangan jalan umum (PJU) di Kota Samarinda, terutama terkait keterlambatan penanganan laporan dan penyebaran informasi layanan yang tidak merata. Layanan tersebut merupakan bagian dari Sistem Layanan Penerangan Jalan Umum (SILAJU) yang dikelola oleh Dinas Perumahan dan Permukiman Kota Samarinda. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis keselarasan antara Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat (IKM) SILAJU dan tingkat kepuasan masyarakat yang sebenarnya, dengan berpedoman pada sembilan indikator dalam Peraturan Menteri No. 14/2017 tentang Survei Kepuasan Masyarakat. Studi ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data mengikuti model Miles dan Huberman, yang mencakup reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan SILAJU secara umum berjalan baik serta mencerminkan prinsip layanan publik seperti transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan daya tanggap, terlihat dari persyaratan sederhana, pemanfaatan sistem pelaporan digital, dan tidak adanya biaya layanan. Namun masih terdapat tantangan, termasuk belum adanya standar waktu penyelesaian, keterbatasan inventaris teknis dan personel lapangan, serta penjangkauan yang belum merata. Secara keseluruhan, tingkat kepuasan masyarakat sejalan dengan skor IKM yang relatif tinggi, meskipun tetap diperlukan peningkatan pada fasilitas pendukung dan pemerataan layanan.
