Abstract

Public information disclosure is one of the main pillars in realizing transparent and accountable governance. In the digital era, information disclosure is increasingly relevant with the development of the concept of digital government that relies on information technology in the provision of public services. Digital government in Indonesia is regulated through various regulations, including Law No. 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure (UU KIP) and policies related to the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). The regulation emphasizes that every public body is required to provide access to information to the public, except for information that is excluded based on legal provisions. However, the implementation of information disclosure in digital government still faces various challenges, such as limited technological infrastructure, lack of awareness of public officials, and protection of personal data that must be balanced with the principle of transparency. This study aims to analyze public information disclosure in the digital government in Indonesia and the legal responsibilities inherent in its implementation. The approach used is the normative legal research method with statutory regulatory analysis techniques and a conceptual approach. The data used in this study comes from various related regulations, academic literature, and relevant policy documents. The analysis was conducted by examining the government's obligations in providing public information digitally, legal sanctions for non-compliance, and challenges in its implementation. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more effective policies to improve transparency, accountability, and legal certainty in digital government in Indonesia.
