Abstract

Apart from having educational and development goals, the management of Diponegoro University's Wanadipa Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) also aims to carry out sustainable forest use activities. The management carries out efforts to achieve these goals through a deliberative governance approach, including public consultation. However, the management is not yet satisfied with the results, considering that the community around the forest has not participated well in managing the KHDTK. Therefore, this research aims to analyze deliberative governance in KHDTK forest management by testing three deliberative governance criteria: representation, participation, and deliberation process. This approach is a collaborative effort between managers of Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) and farming communities around the forest. Mixed research methods were used in this research, with a concurrent embedded model. The qualitative research approach uses key informants as data sources, while quantitative research uses respondents consisting of forest farmers. The results of the research show that KHDTK forest management based on aspects of representation, participation, and deliberation has not run optimally. Therefore, it is recommended that intensive and open communication between KHDTK managers and forest farming communities be improved in KHDT forest management, which will provide benefits to both parties.

Abstract

E-government, or electronic government, refers to the utilization of information and communication technology to improve and simplify the provision of government services and information to citizens, businesses, and government agencies. The adoption and implementation of e-government may be seen as an imperative for governments in developing nations. This research observes the intricacies of e-government implementation in developing countries, aiming to identify and analyze pivotal issues. By employing the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis method, this research discovers the intricate landscape of e-government implementation. Also, utilizing the Technology-Organization-Environment and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology frameworks, the study uncovers substantial issues rooted in organizational limitations like limited awareness and inadequate top management support. The scarcity of essential infrastructure, notably reliable internet access, exacerbates these issues, deepening the digital divide between urban and rural areas. These findings emphasize the crucial role of clear regulations and unwavering top management support. Success in technology adoption hinges on the synergy between organizational, technological, and environmental factors. This thorough investigation illuminates the complex dynamics associated with the implementation of e-government in developing countries, providing invaluable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers navigating the complexities of digital governance.

Abstract

This research explores the behavioural patterns of social media users in response to policies, bridging a gap in the literature by providing in-depth insights into the interaction between user behaviour and public policies relating to social media. An important contribution of this research lies in its holistic approach to understanding how social media users respond to various public policies and their impact on their behaviour. This research aims to explore the influence of the interaction between social media and public policy, understanding how user behaviour on these platforms affects responses to government policies. This study uses qualitative research methods with a scientometric approach. The main results underline the crucial role of social media not only as a communication channel but also as a significant influence tool in shaping public opinion and policy. These studies show that social media has a dual potential, which can support professional and community development, as well as influence government policies and actions through social interaction and information dissemination. However, negative impacts are also evident, such as in the spread of fake news that can significantly alter political views. The practical implications of this research emphasise the need for proactive and systematic government strategies in using social media for the dissemination of accurate information and combating fake news, thereby improving the effectiveness of policy communication and responsiveness to public needs.

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between central and local governments in regional planning and budgeting policies, while exploring the direction of central government control over regions through regional planning and budgeting policies. The issue of relations between central and regional governments in regional planning and budgeting is finding the right balance between autonomy and control. The research methods used are regulatory content analysis and interviews with policymakers. The results showed that the central government uses planning and budgeting to control the implementation of local government affairs and functions through guidance, detection, coercion, and evaluation of existing regulations. These findings fill the discussion gap regarding central government control of regional governments not only through guidance and supervision but through planning and budgeting policies. This study provides insight into the forms of central government control over regional governments, contributing to the trend of central and regional government relations. The practical benefit of this research is as input in improving regional planning and budgeting system policies for the government.

Abstract

Food Security Policy is currently one of the government's focuses in anticipating future food crises. Food security, price stability, and supply chain channels are three things that cannot be separated in formulating a major policy on food security. This research aims to analyze supply chain connectivity through the existence of traditional markets in Central Kalimantan Province and analyze how traditional market development and management policies can encourage food security in Central Kalimantan Province. The research gap in this research is the phenomenon of relatively rapid fluctuations in food commodity prices when there is a national issue of increasing the price of one or several food commodities (sembako). This research is classified as qualitative research with an exploratory approach. Data was collected through several techniques, namely structured interviews, observation, and documentation, as well as the use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) application in mapping traditional markets in the Palangka Raya City Agglomeration area. The qualitative data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Findings in the field show that the coordinates of the locations of traditional markets in Palangka Raya City, Pulang Pisau Regency, Kapuas Regency, Katingan Regency, and East Kotawaringin Regency have been identified. However, there is no information on the commodities traded and the origin of the supply of these commodities. So it cannot be depicted through a map of the food supply chain in the Palangka Raya City agglomeration area. Regarding traditional market development and management policies in supporting food security, it turns out that this is the scope of duties of several agencies including the Development Planning and Research Development Agency (Bappedalitbang), the Agriculture and Food Crops Service, the Industry, Trade and Cooperatives Service (Disperindagkop). This research concludes that the Regional Government in the Palangka Raya City Agglomeration area has relatively the same policies regarding food security but has different strategies adapted to the potential of their respective regions.

Abstract

This study explores how government interventions, grants, and loans influence college access in Zimbabwe, focusing on understanding the factors affecting college access and retention rates. The research aims to inform evidence-based decision-making regarding college access through a mixed research approach integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. Combining both qualitative and quantitative methods to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. It analyses secondary data sources, such as literature, reports, and statistical datasets, to explore aspects like college access, enrollment trends, poverty rates, financial aid programs, and student loan systems in Zimbabwe. Triangulation techniques enhance the credibility of the study's findings by integrating evidence from various sources and employing diverse data collection and analysis methods, enriching perspectives and strengthening the validity and reliability of the study's conclusions. Key findings suggest that grants and loans significantly contribute to increasing college enrollment rates, particularly among economically disadvantaged groups. However, enrollment disparities persist, especially among marginalized populations like women. Despite a modest increase in government spending on education, concerns arise due to a slowdown in overall enrollment growth. Barriers to student loan uptake include complex application processes, concerns about debt burdens, and uncertainties regarding post-graduation employment prospects. The study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive policy interventions to simplify eligibility criteria, enhance financial literacy, and promote employment pathways. Using human capital and open systems theories, the research lays a groundwork for evidence-based decision-making to enhance access to higher education in Zimbabwe.
