Abstract

Adaptive social protection represents a novel form of approach that is more holistic in addressing issues related to disasters associated with climate change and social shifts. Adaptive social protection has resurfaced social protection as a new approach to assist an individual or society to mitigate vulnerability or potential harms related to poverty and climate change. Despite the necessity for enhanced comprehension of adaptive social protection approaches, there exists a dearth of scholarly research on this subject. This study strives to address this gap. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to map the gaps in studies related to the topic of adaptive social protection, thereby enabling us to identify future research agendas. Through this article, we systematically review existing studies in social adaptive protection within two decades. 305 articles are categorized and analyzed using the SPAR-4-SLR protocol by Paul (2021) and employs the VosViewer 16.1.19 to scrutinize and dissect this topic in a bibliometric approach and map the distribution on authorship, countries, institutes, and keywords. We found that the existing publications in adaptive social protection primarily originated from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. By synthetically analyzing the keywords, the dominant hot spot of adaptive social protection research could be concluded as "adaptive management", "climate change", or "adaptation".

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 interpretivism study utilizes the Oligopticon theory to investigate the underutilization of the Panel of Consultants in Indonesia by identifying the reasons behind its infrequent use and proposing effective solutions. The study employs thematic analysis to process data collected from various sources into thematic codes. In 2018, the Committee for Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure Delivery formed the Panel of Consultants to streamline the consultancy services selection in National Strategic Projects and other priority infrastructures yet was not optimally utilized. The findings indicate that the Panel's underutilization stems primarily from inadequate dissemination, budget constraints, and consultant- related issues. To address these challenges, the study proposes a strategic approach comprising disseminating and expanding knowledge, regular updates and provision of consultant resources, and mandatory usage coupled with centralized budgeting. This study provides regulators with valuable insights into assessing the effectiveness of the Panel of Consultants as a tool for expediting infrastructure development. The findings are crucial for future considerations on its re-establishment. By exploring the Oligopticon theory in the context of public procurement and delving into the method of consultancy selection, the research addresses a significant gap in the literature, offering a unique perspective rarely covered in earlier studies.

Abstract

The urgency of this research was identified from the ambitious new capital city (IKN) development project. This research aims to respond to this issue by studying the development plan. The method chosen is qualitative with a thematic analysis approach. The research data source comes from the official government website by searching official documents. The analysis tool that is maximized in data coding is Nvivo 12 Plus. This study mapped three critical themes in the IKN development plan, including the principles of development of the new capital city (IKN), the position and specificities of the new capital city (IKN), and the government's strategic efforts. In general, the IKN development theme focuses on an Indonesia-centric development orientation, development, and adaptation to the use of renewable technology and the clean technology industry for more environmentally friendly mobility and utilities, as well as accelerating the transformation of the Indonesian economy. This idea requires a government response by developing supporting infrastructure, including budget, governance, bureaucracy, and resources, and maintaining the social situation in development areas. This study is of academic interest because it provides insight into the principles and strategies underlying the development of Indonesia's new capital city (IKN), contributing to scientific discourse on sustainable development and government initiatives.

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.

Abstract

This research examines the central government's facilitation to foster the resilience of MSME actors through capital financing, namely the People's Business Credit (KUR) program. The implementation of capital assistance through KUR remains problematic, especially the accessibility. The main objective is to analyse the problem situations and dynamics of micro-business capital and provide recommendations in the form of an adaptive and innovative policy construction model to the government. This research utilises the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) perspective, which can transform a complex, unstructured problem into a more structured problem situation and build a conceptual model that fits the context of the existing problem. The results indicate that the primary problem is the dominance of the KUR program's policy control by the central government, which complicates capital accessibility, especially for micro businesses, and limits the authority of local governments. The proposed conceptual model focuses on thinking across capabilities, which allows the adoption of thoughts, opinions, and ideas outside the inherent cultural framework to create innovative and adaptive policy outcomes. The two main dimensions of the model application are delegated task and authority, which is the power to delegate and provide insight or the ability to produce innovative and adaptive thinking. This resulted in two recommendations for the mandate mechanism to local governments, namely (1) authorising local governments to make recommendations for business status based on mapping to provide a guarantee for micro-businesses (2) the authority of local governments to work with banks to facilitate the distribution and bureaucratic management of KUR financing to micro businesses.
