Abstract

This research analyzes bureaucratic transformation by optimizing village officials in Gorontalo Regency. Based on the research gap results, this study aims to analyze how bureaucratic transformation optimizes the role of village officials in providing public services. The academic interest of this research is to contribute new knowledge in the bureaucratic transformation field, especially through optimizing village officials. In addition, the practical importance is also quite significant, where this research can guide local governments and related stakeholders regarding strategies and concrete actions that can be taken to improve the quality of public services, bureaucratic efficiency, and responsiveness to community needs. This research uses simple descriptive statistics and is processed using the Nvivo 12 plus application. The community and local government want renewal or transformation in the bureaucratic structure of the village apparatus. The findings in the field are that the local government conducts competency mapping of village officials by conducting Computer Assisted Test (CAT) tests. The test results showed that of the 2089 participants who took part in the selection, only 179 people were ineligible, 50 people did not take the test, while those who passed the selection amounted to 1860. The transformation of the village bureaucracy was carried out through three steps, namely increasing the capacity of village officials, simplifying administrative procedures, and strengthening the supervisory system. The simplification of administrative procedures aims to reduce excessive bureaucracy and speed up public services. Strengthening the supervisory system also plays an important role in improving accountability and transparency.

Abstract

Managerial competency is a fascinating field to continue to develop and study until now. UNDP is still formulating the Competency Framework until 2030 (United Nations, 2018). The popularity of this field stems from the flexibility and dynamic nature of organizational practices that have been born due to global development. Managerial competencies have three components: conceptual skills, human resources skills, and technical skills. In Indonesia, city governments find it difficult to determine the right person based on managerial competence, so the wrong person is placed to occupy a strategic position. Therefore, this research wants to determine the right proportion of the three components of managerial competency and their indicators. That was the background of this study: analyzing the proportion of these skills by taking case studies in 2 regions in Indonesia, namely the Tasikmalaya Regency and Serang City. This study sought to find what managerial competency models apply in Indonesia, especially those represented by the two cities/regencies in Indonesia. This study used mixed methods: quantitative methods for distributing questionnaires to Echelon/ Class III and IV officials in the two cities and qualitative for expert group discussions to validate that would strengthen the analysis. The time needed for this research is about one year (around February 2019- August 2020). The contribution of this research shows that when an area uses an ideal competency managerial model, it is easier to achieve its vision and mission. The study results indicate that the Tasikmalaya Regency is quite good in its managerial competence selection process. It can be seen from the proportion of the three sets of dynamically dispersed managerial competencies compared to the ideal model, in contrast to Serang City, which is still far from ideal conditions. Serang City must improve its managerial competency model to make it more ideal. This is needed so that organizations can deal with changing times, which tend to be exponential to maximize performance achievements.

Abstract

Research on policy convergence has developed very significantly in comparative literature. However, little is known about the dynamics of policy convergence under unitary systems, assuming that they have greater convergence than under federal systems. This research maintains that unitary systems present no less intricate dynamics of policy convergence than the federal systems. Looking at a decentralized unitary system, this research argues that the dynamics of policy divergence is primarily driven by a need to pursue responsiveness to local priorities. It assesses the case of Indonesia in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic through qualitative and quantitative exploration, combining documentary and the named entity recognition (NER) methods. The main data were sourced from the selected national newspapers sanctioned by the Indonesian Press Board. The result points to several factors affecting policy convergence, namely, responsiveness, compliance, policy inconsistency, policy clarity, leadership, horizontal learning, and electoral politics. Of these factors, the most important one is policy responsiveness; that is, whether national and subnational policies converge or diverge is affected by the need of a subnational government to respond to local priorities. This research fills the void in the current research by understanding the interplay between domestic factors and policy convergence, thereby extending the debate on the dynamic of policy convergence under a decentralized unitary system. Working with the COVID-19 pandemic adds nuances to the literature on crisis-driven policy convergence dynamics. It also points to a practical implication on the importance of crafting better institutional arrangements on national-subnational relations to better respond to pressing issues in a more convergent manner.

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

The research regarding women in disaster policy discourse received attention from scholars and policymakers as the current leading international disaster policy had a shortfall in mentioning women's rights. Although many studies have deliberated how women engage with disaster, research that systematically maps how the literature regarding women in disaster policy develops has not yet been conducted. Per the result through the bibliometric mapping, the 58 pieces of literature included by the PRISMA (Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework are clustered into health, environment, economic, and socio-political contexts. The discourse discussion revolves around women's vulnerability, capacity and capability, and strategy and policy initiatives. The study contributes to the literature by mapping the research trajectory regarding women in the disaster risk reduction policy framework following the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 establishment. A recommendation model of the disaster policy framework and prospective research agenda is developed through the study.

Abstract

This research analyzes the views of the Indonesian people regarding Covid-19 vaccination through comments on the YouTube social media platform. This study aimed to analyze arguments, discussion patterns, attitudes, and views of the Indonesian people in the YouTube video comments at the start of the Covid-19 vaccination in Indonesia. Academically, this research provides in-depth information about the views of the Indonesian people on Covid-19 vaccination, which comes from online comments. This research is helpful for information providers and governments to make evidence-based policies and campaigns for effective communication strategies for vaccination programs. This study uses mixed methods by combining corpus linguistic methods with critical discourse analysis. Using the help of Antcont software, we analyzed 22,529 comments on the five videos about Covid-19 vaccination. The results showed various public views about vaccines; we found fifteen categories of comments: actors, health, media, rejection, acceptance, state, religious, mass, Islam, other countries, law, economy, region, knowledge, and politics. The contribution of this research is to fill in the gaps in the literature about people's reactions to vaccination in the context of social media. The implication of this research is to contribute to decision makers to take evidence-based policies to communicate Covid-19 vaccination.

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 paper examines the local government's implementation of village development policy at the borderlands, aiming to address the research gap by explaining the implementation of public policy through a case study of the One Village One Product (OVOP) program in Sambas Regency, Indonesia, which shares a border with Sarawak, Malaysia. We provide academic contributions to the field of public policy at the intersection of village development and border studies by explaining the local experience of implementing public policy. Additionally, the study provides practical recommendations for stakeholders in both public and private sectors to enhance OVOP programs following the best practices learned from other countries. The study, conducted from August to October 2023, employed qualitative research methods through observation and 15 interviews with government officials, the regency and village levels, and the local figures. Relevant documents were also collected and analyzed. The study found that two models of policy implementation applied in the research setting. In most villages, the OVOP program implemented the dominant top-down models due to the independent work of regency government officials and inadequate collaboration. The bureaucracy only provides short-term assistance and empowerment while hindering the aspirations of the private and community sectors to participate. At the same time, a hybrid model is exercised in one village where local stakeholders, the village government, and private and community sectors collaborate based on their sense of belonging toward "home" with less intervention from the regency government. The study recommends enhancing regular on-site or online communication and active collaboration between all stakeholders in the regency and the village level to improve OVOP program implementation in Sambas Regency.

Abstract

This research focuses on the dynamics of formal and informal institutions in their contestation in the Brantas Watershed (DAS). As a public space, the Brantas Watershed is of concern to the government and an informal organization, Ecoton. The presence of Ecoton in the management of the Brantas Watershed was triggered because the government program was only ceremonial and considered unsustainable. This research uses a qualitative approach with a soft system methodology (SSM). In the data collection process, this study used the focus group discussion (FGD) method as primary data and a literature study as secondary data. Furthermore, this research uses the structure-culture-process (SKP) theory and models of formal and informal institutional relations. The results of this study indicate that relationships have been successfully formed through the contestation of formal and informal institutions in the public space. The Brantas River Basin Center (BBWS) and the Environmental Service (DLH), as representatives of the state that have a formal power base, are not sufficiently capable of managing the Brantas DAS optimally. This is due to the complexity and breadth of the Brantas watershed area in East Java, thus triggering the presence of the informal Ecoton institution. The presence of Ecoton in the governance of the Brantas Watershed is a force that supports and complements the government, but at the same time, Ecoton can be a government competitor and even a substitute in the public sphere. The contestation of these formal and informal institutions is part of social integration and collaborative governance.
