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 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

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.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has built a strong legal foundation for child protection, including Law No. 35 of 2014 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which comprehensively regulates child protection. On the other hand, there is a significant gap between legal recognition and practical concretization, which the government actualizes through the Indonesian Child Protection Commission. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis, collecting secondary data from 2016–2024. Data were organized, analyzed, and triangulated to examine child protection cases in Indonesia, providing insights to guide policy recommendations and address structural and coordination challenges. Findings: The findings reveal institutional crumble, limited coordination between central and regional governments, a lack of trained personnel, and weak data systems as the main issues in child protection cases in Indonesia. Despite policy and budgetary interventions, legal gaps, fragmented monitoring, and cultural barriers persist, highlighting the need for harmonized regulations, capacity building, integrated data, and community engagement to strengthen child protection. Conclusion: The study concludes that legal frameworks alone are insufficient; effective child protection requires coordinated institutions, stronger local capacity, cultural transformation, and a community-based approach to ensure children’s rights are fulfilled, upholding commitments and safeguarding every child consistently. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study highlights the scientific implications of child protection cases in Indonesia by evaluating the period from 2016 to 2024 as a reflection to protect children’s rights, providing new insights to overcome barriers, and offering policy recommendations to adequately address these issues.
