Abstract

Basic education is the foundation for the development of a nation. However, the implementation of basic education services in Indonesia is not yet fully running well. Shifting the authority to provide basic education to regional governments is a challenge for regional governments. Bonding lack of capacity and territorial catchment complicates the problem of providing basic education services. This research examines the factors that influence the quality of basic education service delivery in Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia. This research uses a systems thinking approach. Modeling with a causal loop diagram as a type of qualitative system model that illustrates the factors that influence the capacity of basic education service delivery. The causal loop diagram was constructed through in-depth interviews with several informants, namely the head and secretary of the education office, elementary and middle school principals, elementary and middle school teachers, and community members (n=12), and FGD (n=2). The location of this research is Banyuwangi Regency, the area with the largest area in East Java. Research findings show that the factors influencing the quality of basic education service delivery in Banyuwangi Regency are based on CLD. A model consisting of two nodes balancing that interact in such a way that the activity of one loop significantly reduces the balance of other loops in an effort to achieve a goal. That the quality of providing basic education services is balanced by conditions of service gaps, so the following actions need to be taken: a) when performance decreases, then check whether this happens because the targets that have been made have been lowered, then b) check how the targets were made and who determines it. This means that the quality of basic education services in Banyuwangi Regency can be improved by evaluating whether the target setting is realistic with the quality of educational facilities and infrastructure, the quality of transportation infrastructure, and the geographical location, which varies according to the characteristics of the region.

Abstract

While corruption may be found anywhere in the world, countries with weak institutions and unstable political environments tend to have more of it. Many countries have embraced decentralization as a workable solution for tackling corruption. The purpose of this study is to provide insight on how decentralization affects Indonesia's corruption problem. The research is qualitative library research, in which the data is collected from various sources such as journals from Scopus and Google Scholar, media reports, government documents, as well as books. The research indicates that local corruption has increased following decentralization, with local government officials, the private sector, and village heads being the most involved. The judiciary in Indonesia has a poor reputation due to low judicial standards, a dysfunctional criminal justice system, and lax enforcement, which have contributed to its poor reputation. By undertaking such research endeavors, the issues confronting corruption will be exposed, and the government of Indonesia will have a more comprehensive understanding of how to deal with corruption.

Abstract

Assertions that say there were no organized political administrative systems in the pre-colonial traditional societies of Africa should be utterly discarded. This is because there were established formal laws of engagement in the pre-independence Nigerian societies. However, the coming of colonialists brought a pose to these traditional systems of administration, with its antecedent consequences as problems of corruption, elite rulers, insecurity, economic meltdown, decline in moral manners, power tussle, and ethnic jingoism, among others. Because the traditional administrative system in Nigeria prior to the coming of colonial masters was free of this menace to some extent, it was the present system that was fashioned or modelled by the white men that brought in these problems. This paper examined the tenets of the three major traditional societies in Nigeria in comparison with the current governance system in order to deduce. It was discovered that all the problems showcasing in present Nigeria are due to the eroding and non-inclusion of traditional rulers roles into the modern-day government practically and  constitutionally. The paper sourced its materials through secondary sources. It was recommended that the pre-independence features of these traditional societies should be inculcated, and they should also be given constitutional rights because they are the custodians of their societies and are by law divine in nature.

Abstract

Indonesia is the second largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world and is a country vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Serious efforts and policies have been undertaken to address climate change. Although there is much research about climate governance in Indonesia, there is limited understanding of how and why governance arrangements change over time, and there is still a lack of a clear conceptual framework for distinguishing governance models and studying the evolution of governance. This research aims to describe the typological framework of climate change governance policy evolution in the policy dimension. The research design uses a qualitative approach with content analysis techniques. The data sources in this research are only secondary data. This study uses the policy dimension governance framework to examine the typology of the evolution of Indonesia's national climate change policies since 1972. The findings show that Indonesia has implemented various national policy instruments since the 1990s to address climate change in different policy dimension governance typologies. The findings also show that the typology of climate change governance in Indonesia has shifted from voluntarism to coercion and targeting.

Abstract

The city of Bandung is the main contributor to Citarum River pollution due to human behavior. The waste problem, both in water and on land, has not been managed properly until the end of December 2023, including the Sarimukti landfill burning incident. The increasing amount of waste makes management problems increasingly complex. Bandung City Regional Regulation no. 9 of 2018 Article 5 states that the Regional Government is responsible for ensuring the planning, organization, implementation and supervision of waste management in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner. Supervision in waste management is very important for the success of the city government in maintaining cleanliness. To prevent errors in programs or policies, supervision is needed as a success factor. This research aims to determine and analyze the implementation of the supervisory function in waste management as well as describe the inhibiting factors and efforts made in waste monitoring in Bandung City. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through interviews, observation and documentation. The validity of the data was obtained by triangulation and data analysis using John Saldana's manual coding technique by means of coding, categories and themes. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. This research is planned to last for eight months. It is hoped that the research results will produce a concept and implementation of waste management supervision by the Bandung City Environmental Service, fulfilling TKT 2.

Abstract

Taking economic benefits from reserved land became a considerable business for many local governments worldwide, including the Bima Regency Government, through an annual leasing policy. Besides its success story, which can increase regional original income, the policy implementation also leaves complicated problems, often characterized by the tension of the struggle for management rights and negative accusations regarding the auction process, which needs to be more transparent. This article discusses an empirical case about the tension of actor relations in the scramble for limited resources in a local context, where the authors conducted in-depth interviews with several informants who were selected through purposive sampling techniques, including those in charge, directors, and leaders of the Regency Level Committee, as well as individual participants, both those who won and lost in the annual leasing auction. Although the land leasing policy can increase local original income and provide opportunities for landless residents to engage in agricultural activities, the auction practice is often marked by a need for more transparency and conflicts of interest. Such a conflict is especially evident in the uneven auction process, which tends to trigger stakeholder tensions. This policy has yet to be entirely successful in supporting land conservation for long-term agricultural production regarding the threat of land degradation due to excessive exploitation.

Abstract

Governments implement policies to regulate societal frameworks and enhance state value, with one primary objective being the establishment of Batam as a Free Trade and Free Port Area to accelerate economic growth. This study examines the implementation of the ex-officio policy within Batam's free trade and free port area, highlighting the factors that either facilitate or hinder its execution. The initiative to designate Batam as a free trade zone originated in the 1970s, following the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 74 of 1971. However, over the past five decades, Batam's economic growth has been inconsistent, largely due to administrative conflicts between the Batam Industrial Development Authority (now the Batam Indonesia Free-Zone Authority) and the Batam Municipal Government. In response, the Indonesian government introduced Government Regulation No. 62 of 2019, appointing the Mayor of Batam as the ex-officio Chief Executive of the Batam Indonesia Free-Zone Authority to resolve these conflicts. While the policy aims to streamline governance and enhance development outcomes, its effectiveness remains contested, necessitating a comprehensive analysis of its implementation in the context of advancing Batam’s status as a Free Trade Zone and Free Port Area.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of religiosity and spirituality on employee's job performance, with the mediating effect of work engagement. Using a sample of 345 public servants within local government employees in Indonesia, this study reveals that employee performance is partially mediated by work engagement in its relationship only to religiosity. Work engagement is not only dispensable in enhancing employee performance but also mediates the effect of religiosity on job performance in the public sector. However, it does not work in the relationship between spirituality and job performance. The findings of this study contribute to the research body on employee performance in local government by improving the understanding of the influences of religiosity, spirituality, and work engagement on job performance. This study also offers an important policy insight for policymakers in the local governments to increase job performance among their employees.

Abstract

This research investigates the role of collaborative governance in mitigating flood disasters in Bojonegoro Regency. Using qualitative methods, we comprehensively examine social processes related to flood mitigation. Our study focuses on how the community, business sector, and government can reduce the impact of flooding. Through a case study approach, we find that collaborative governance implementation has not been fully optimized, with governance components often operating independently. To address this, we propose a collaboration system that includes joined-up government, issue response networks, communities of shared mission, and strategic alliances. By enhancing collaboration, we aim to improve flood disaster mitigation in Bojonegoro Regency, leveraging all available resources and expertise. Community involvement will contribute to building a more resilient ecosystem prepared for future disasters. Implementing these cooperative programs is envisaged to enhance flood catastrophe mitigation in Bojonegoro Regency. Effective collaboration between various elements of governance will ensure that all available resources and expertise can be optimally utilized. This study contributes to the field by emphasizing the importance of collaborative governance in disaster management and resilience.
