Abstract

This research explores the deliberate implementation of internet restrictions by the Indonesian government, focusing on situations of political instability or conflicts that challenge its authority in the digital sphere. The concept of digital power, signifying government control over information in the digital space, is examined, particularly when this control faces challenges leading to internet shutdowns. The study highlights the connection between internet shutdowns and conflict situations, with a specific focus on Papua, indicating the government's use of these measures to suppress potential counterpower. The government's influence over both government and non-government entities, including internet service providers, is emphasized, revealing its ability to enforce internet shutdowns in response to perceived threats to national stability. Despite the positive role of social networking sites in democratic development, uncontrolled information dissemination is viewed as a potential threat, prompting strategic internet shutdowns to maintain narrative control during critical periods.

Abstract

Good governance is a critical aspect of organizational culture, especially in the public sector. This article explores the relationship between government effectiveness and good governance, focusing specifically on the Indonesian context. Understanding this relationship is crucial for organizational culture studies, as it highlights the impact of leadership, policy-making, and administrative competence on the overall functioning of an organization. The primary aim is to assess how the effectiveness of government institutions in Indonesia impacts the broader dimensions of good governance. The author obtained data through the UN, World Bank, WJP, and CGGI websites, and visualized them for easy understanding.  The findings indicate a significant correlation between government effectiveness and the quality of governance. Improved bureaucratic efficiency, policy implementation, and service delivery are closely linked with higher scores on the governance index. However, challenges in combating corruption and ensuring consistent rule of law remain notable hurdles. The study concludes that enhancing government effectiveness is crucial for the advancement of good governance in Indonesia. While progress has been made, sustained efforts are required to address ongoing challenges. The findings of the study provide lessons on how organizational culture in government institutions can be improved or reformed.

Abstract

The existence of women in the village realm is a dilemmatic phenomenon. On the one hand, female leaders can demonstrate the breaking down of stigma and stereotypes that women will not appropriately fill the public sphere. On the other hand, their existence is no different from formality, ignoring the substance and representation of women's interests. This research seeks to compare three villages that were and are currently led by women. Do they reflect inclusiveness? This inclusiveness from the campaign period to the dynamics when taking office will be seen. The research results show that not all female leaders at the village level can design inclusiveness. In carrying out village development planning deliberations, for example, women's involvement is more to overcome administrative requirements than to accommodate their interests.

Abstract

The creative industry in Depok City shows positive growth, contributing significantly to the city's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This article explores the potential and challenges of creative economy development in Depok using SWOT analysis. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the economy in general, the creative economy in Depok continues to grow and develop as one of the mainstay sectors supporting regional economic growth. The research also noted that the understanding of the community and related agencies regarding the prospects of the creative industry is still minimal. Therefore, there need to be further efforts to maximise the potential of the creative industry in this city. The purpose of this study is to map the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the creative economy potential in Depok City, along with strategic recommendations for its implementation. This research is expected to serve as a guide for the Depok City Government and related stakeholders in planning and implementing interventions that support the development of the creative economy in Depok City, especially post-pandemic.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and describe the definitive government vacuum in customary lands and the role of the Central Maluku district government in the succession of government leadership in the lands. The problems in this research are: (1) What are the issues causing the definitive government vacuum in customary villages and negeris? And (2), what is the role of the Central Maluku District government in the succession of government leadership in customary villages? The results of this research are theoretically expected to enrich the literature regarding the customary government vacuum due to problems with the mata rumah parenta (clan heredity), which are the descendants of the customary land ancestors, and the role of local governments in the succession of government leadership in customary villages and negeris. Practically, the results of this research are expected to be an input for the district government in assigning the acting village heads to fill the void in the customary land government. For this reason, the selected informants are those who are considered to have closeness to and clear knowledge of the data and information needed at the research location. The data collected from the field used in-depth interview techniques and was analyzed qualitatively. It was found that there was still a government vacuum in the existing customary villages caused more by customary problems (the matarumah parenta problem), which could not be resolved by the acting village heads on behalf of the local government. This fact describes the less optimal work of the acting village heads in carrying out their role during their years of service and their extended periods afterward.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of ethics and accountability on organizational performance in the public sector, with a specific focus on the moderating role of perceived organizational support. The research was conducted in the context of civil servants in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study employs a questionnaire-based survey administered to 165 civil servants, and data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study reveal that both ethics and accountability have a significant positive influence on organizational performance. Furthermore, perceived organizational support was found to moderate the relationship between ethics, accountability, and organizational performance. Specifically, when employees perceive higher levels of support from their organization, the positive impact of ethics and accountability on performance is strengthened. These findings have important implications for public sector organizations. To enhance organizational performance, organizations should prioritize the promotion of ethical behavior and accountability through the establishment of ethical codes, training programs, and accountability mechanisms. Additionally, organizations should strive to create a supportive work environment by providing resources, and opportunities for development, and demonstrating genuine concern for employees' well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the significant role of ethics, accountability, and perceived organizational support in driving organizational performance in the public sector.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the development of tourist villages, especially from the perspective of public participation and tourism marketing. Bengkulu is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has natural beauty and attractive tourist destinations; however, the development of its tourist villages has not been optimal in order to improve the welfare of rural communities. From the results of the study, it is hoped that there will be a deep understanding of tourist villages and the problems they face. The method used is comprehensive and systematic qualitative research on the problems of developing tourist villages in Bengkulu. To obtain comprehensive information, interviews were conducted with competent sources in the field of tourism villages in Bengkulu. Research findings show that public participation and tourism marketing in Bengkulu are not as expected. On the other hand, unclear regulations and authority have hampered the implementation of tourism village development in Bengkulu. This article provides lessons on how to optimise public participation and market tourism in a tourist village optimally. Apart from that, it is important to increase cooperation between stakeholders so that tourism village problems can be addressed comprehensively. The author suggests optimising clarity in the management of tourist villages so that people do not find it difficult to participate. It is necessary to ensure that tourism marketing is carried out in a sustainable manner by paying attention to preserving the environment and local culture and providing benefits to local communities.

Abstract

This study aims to explain how the relationship between Muslim communities and prostitution is present in everyday social life, especially in the prostitution area of Bandungan, Semarang Regency. With the case study research method, the authors conducted observations, documentation, and structured and unstructured interviews simultaneously with prostitution business actors, Muslim associations, and local government actors. As for the findings, first, the relationship between society and prostitution has been socially shaped over a very long period, not something that appears instantly. The gradual social change from the colonial era to the emergence of tourism gave rise to the characteristics of prostitution, which were relatively different from the localization models of prostitution in other regions. Second, the relationship between the Muslim community and prostitution is intertwined in social relations because of intertwined economic interests. Third, social disharmony is still present despite social harmony, especially in the relations of citizens who do not depend on their economic interests in the prostitution business, especially among people who are affiliated with Muslim organizations. This study concludes that the relationship between the Muslim community and prostitution occurs dynamically, which is still contradictory but has no conflict with each other.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the PDI Perjuangan Party and Islam in Indonesian electoral politics. This study is important because the relationship between nationalism and the position of Islam in the political realm of Indonesia with the largest Muslim population in the world is relatively complex and problematic. Based on Michael Foucault's concept of power, it can be seen that the position of Islam within the PDI Perjuangan Party forms a system of power relations. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative approach and literature study methods. Literature studies are carried out by searching, collecting and studying written materials in the form of speech texts, Party Congress minutes, books, journals and also websites of authoritative institutions. The results of the study show that the relationship between PDI Perjuangan Party and Islam was built by integrating national and Islamic values in political programs that were in line with the party's ideology. The implementation of PDIP Party and Islam relations includes: First, consistently in the 2004, 2014 and 2019 presidential elections pairing nationalist-religious figures as Presidential Candidates and Vice-Presidential Candidates, namely Megawati Sukarnoputri-Hasyim Muzadi (2004), Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla (2014), and Joko Widodo-KH. Ma'ruf Amin (2019). Second, in the Pilkada pairing of nationalist-religious figures and the recorded number of NU cadres who became regional heads who came from PDIP Party was 109 regional heads, one of which was the pair Ganjar Pranowo (PDI Perjuangan Party) and Taj Yasin Maimoen (PPP) in the 2018 Pilkada. Third, collaboration PDI Perjuangan Party with religious institutions, such as NU and Muhammdiyah. Fourth, institutionally in the 2005-2010 Management it added the “Religion and Spirituality Sector” (now the “Religious Affairs and Belief in God Almighty” Sector) and the fundamental thing was establishing the Baitul Muslimin Indonesia (Bamusi) party wing on 29 March 2007. In this context Bamusi is an effort of Governmentality.
