Abstract

In Indonesia’s public sector, the Performance Accountability System (SAKIP) is a vital governance mechanism, and its post-COVID-19 concretization necessitates thorough examination, especially at the provincial level. Next move, given that public accountability remains paramount in governance, this study investigates SAKIP’s implementation in West Java, specifically focusing on institutional strengthening and oversight mechanisms. Furthermore, a descriptive qualitative approach was used, whereby secondary data was collected from official documents and media reports to evaluate SAKIP’s effectiveness. Consequently, the analysis reveals that the West Java Provincial Government has demonstrated significant improvements, as evidenced by consistent increases in SAKIP scores from 2019 to 2022, while the integration of robust oversight mechanisms has effectively facilitated meaningful public scrutiny and engagement. Subsequently, several key outcomes emerged, including enhanced institutional performance metrics, successful establishment of transparent oversight mechanisms, and strengthened government-public relationships. Moreover, the implications provide practical insights for policymakers while demonstrating SAKIP’s dual role as both a compliance tool and a catalyst for improved governance.

Abstract

The adoption of GovTech in Indonesia is still relatively minimal, with several reflections (e.i., potential, obstacles and lessons learned) in concretisation not yet fully actualised proportionally and consistently through the government as the party responsible. Pertinent to this, this study focuses on the actualisation of GovTech in Indonesia and other countries as empirical evidence in the analysis to find applicable solutions, with a focus on potential barriers and lessons that can be educated from the transformation process, especially the digitalisation of the public sector through GovTech practices. The findings display limited infrastructure, a digital skills gap among government employees, and resistance to technological change in comprehensive GovTech practices. Thereupon, urgency emphasised from this that in building GovTech, it is necessary to pay attention to the element of public trust, involve citizens in the change process, and encourage collaboration between the government/private sector, which is highly emphasised in GovTech practices. Notwithstanding GovTech can elevate transparency, service quality, and citizen involvement, its adoption in Indonesia still faces significant barriers, including uneven concretisation between regions and a lack of resources and training. Finally, we underline the solution requires a more intensive approach, including expanding digital access, training for government employees, and building public trust in GovTech practices.

Abstract

The First Generation Theory (FGT) approach in fiscal federalism plays a significant role in explaining how central government funding interventions should drive fiscal independence, dependence and effectiveness at the sub-national government level. This study explicitly stresses the budgetary performance of the Tarakan region to assess the level of fiscal autonomy, dependence, and effectiveness from 2011 to 2025. Then, this study adopts a quantitative descriptive approach and content analysis, where the findings are fiscal performance through three leading indicators: AFI ratio (≤0.53) indicating the status of “Towards Independence”, AFD ratio of 71.90% which as “Very High”, and AFE of 82.20% which as “Less Effective”. The research findings justify that the Tarakan region is still very dependent on fund transfers from the central government, has a weak ability to mobilise Regional Income (PAD), and has not consistently achieved the planned revenue targets. The final implication of this study is to inform local governments to strengthen their fiscal space by elevating the capacity of the regional revenue system and adopting accountable financial planning in proportion to local needs.

Abstract

Digital initiatives have great potential to enhance the quality of life in rural communities. However, for the benefits to be evenly distributed, this process must be inclusive. The West Java government has taken crucial steps through the “Rural Digitalization” program and supporting regulations in 2022. Moreover, barriers such as uneven internet infrastructure, low digital literacy, and minimal use of technology in key sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, and livestock are still major barriers. Coupled with weak coordination between levels of government and budget constraints, it also slows down realisation in the field. This study aims to identify gaps in the initiative of rural digitalisation and offer practical solutions. Through a descriptive qualitative approach and literature study, it was found that access to technology needs to be balanced with locally relevant skills, confidence, and innovation. This study offers a roadmap in the form of mobile-based digital training, a community internet model, and affordable technology solutions. Then, the success of digital initiatives in rural areas depends on long-term collaboration between the government, private sector, and community.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s urban governance and sustainability reveal a significant barrier to the concretization in the field. Interestingly, while the government has invented a bunch of initiatives to assist the goals, their insignificant progress has been consistently revealed. Methods: Our study employed a systematic literature review (SLR) to track the issue comprehensively and carefully to estimate the objectivity, accuracy, relevance, linked to the research theme and it was assisted by Publish or Perish (PoP) software to collect, organize, comprehend, and scrutinize the data based on scientific papers pertinent to the research theme. Findings: Our findings display the significant barriers (e.g., fragmented governance, weak concretisation systems, and underdeveloped institutional mechanisms that block urban governance and sustainability in Indonesia. To swamp, we offer the forward policy design with three leading actions (i.e., integrated policy framework, capacity building, fiscal and legal reform). Conclusion: Based on these, we believe the issues of urban governance and sustainability barriers will get back on track and achieve the goals consistently. Novelty/Originality of this article: Our novelty contributes to a comprehensive framework that bridges the concepts of spatial planning, governance structures, and sustainability objectives in Indonesian urban areas in an inclusive, equitable, and resilient context.
