Abstract

This study aims to analyse the discourse of online motorcycle taxi drivers on social media related to transportation electrification and its impacts on the economy and environment in DKI Jakarta. The main focus of this study is to understand the views, experiences, and interactions of online motorcycle taxi drivers who play an essential role in the urban transportation ecosystem. Using a qualitative approach and the Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) method, this study digs deeper into the discussion on social media about transportation electrification. It describes drivers' challenges, desires, and attitudes regarding green innovation. CAQDAS was chosen because of its ability to manage and analyse large volumes of qualitative data, allowing for the systematic identification of themes and patterns of discourse. The results show that adopting green innovation in the transportation sector, especially online motorcycle taxi electrification is influenced by external pressures such as consumer awareness and government policies, as well as collaboration between technology companies and drivers. Sentiment analysis shows the dominance of positive sentiment from optimistic drivers about cost savings and sustainability, although there are still practical barriers, such as initial costs and limited infrastructure. These findings emphasise the importance of proactive policies in supporting the transition to sustainable and environmentally friendly electric vehicles, considering the needs of drivers, companies, and the public sector. This research contributes to the understanding of factors influencing the adoption of electric transportation among online motorcycle taxi drivers and the economic and environmental implications of the transition.

Abstract

In recent years, NGOs have emerged as important institutions assisting governments, especially in poverty reduction. While many studies have focused on NGOs' roles in social welfare, this study examines the role of NGOs in poverty reduction by evaluating the effectiveness of the Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) program in reducing extreme poverty in Sierra Leone. We employed a qualitative research approach, gathering data from in-depth interviews, peer-reviewed journals, reports, and online resources. We analyzed the data interactively using NVivo 12 Plus software, based by Richard M. Steers' effectiveness theory across three dimensions: integration, adaptation, and goal attainment. Our findings reveal that: (1) Integration – UWT has effectively woven its poverty alleviation program by managing policy outreach and enhancing communication while fostering public consensus. (2) Adaptation – UWT has refined its strategies through capacity building by localizing its programs to address the local community's needs. Lastly, (3) Goal attainment – although UWT is yet to achieve its objectives, it has significantly impacted extreme poverty reduction in Sierra Leone, with the rate decreasing from 26.6% in 2020 to 24.5% in 2024. This study offers evidence of how NGOs contribute to poverty reduction, highlighting their essential role in supporting governments’ efforts in nation building.

Abstract

In recent years, the government of Liberia and its stakeholders have developed several policies towards decentralization that have led to significant developments. However, challenges still remain, especially the dominance of the central government, political greed, etc. This study aims to identify the forms of central government’s dominance over local governments in Liberia and its impacts on local governance. This research applied a qualitative method with primary data obtained through interviews with relevant informants and secondary data obtained through analysis of previous studies, mass media, and policies regarding decentralization in Liberia, and analyzed using an interactive model in addition to the NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings reveal that the central government exerts dominance in three forms, including visible, hidden, and invisible forms. Visible forms include explicit regulations predominantly financial control and local officials' appointment, which allowed the central government to dictate local governance. Hidden forms mainly include intimidation and political party influence, which are not publicly acknowledged, allowing the central government to maintain its dominance and often devaluing local agendas. Invisible forms mainly include institutional capture and policy development, shaping the mindsets of local officials and citizens as well as viewing this dominance as natural, thus leading to a culture of silence. Hence, the research emphasizes the need for further reforms to ensure a balanced distribution of power and the independence of local governments to serve communities effectively and make decisions aligned with local needs.
