Abstract

Providing better public services has become the main task of the Indonesian government. In terms of passport services, the Indonesian government, through the Directorate General of Immigration, has made efforts to improve passport services for all Indonesian citizens. The Directorate General of Immigration has introduced some programs to provide a better passport service. However, the government was still facing some challenges if considered through the quality of government perspectives. This paper will reveal some challenges that are faced by the government in terms of the quality of government, including the absence of corruption, the rule of law, and impartiality. As a result, the Directorate General of Immigration is on the right track to provide quality passport services by implementing some innovations. Nevertheless, the government still needs to work on the anti-corruption programs.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the dynamics of the tourism sector, driving the need for a sustainable and inclusive recovery approach. This study conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze the dynamics of stakeholders in post-pandemic tourism recovery in Indonesia, using the Pentahelix framework. The study found that collaboration between government, academia, industry, communities, and the media is key to driving sustainability and resilience in the tourism sector. The findings suggest that while challenges, such as differing priorities, resource constraints, and communication barriers, hamper the effectiveness of collaboration, strategies such as strengthening communication, leveraging technology, and clear role-sharing can improve recovery outcomes. The study emphasizes the importance of cross-sector collaboration in building a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainability-oriented tourism in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Government Public Relations (GPR) of the Pekanbaru City Government in disseminating Mayor Regulation Number 2 of 2025 concerning the Review of Public Service Retribution Rates for On-Street Parking Services, as well as to identify the opportunities and challenges encountered in the dissemination process. The background of this research is based on the importance of effective public communication in supporting the implementation of regional policies, especially those directly affecting public interests. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Public Relations division of the Pekanbaru City Government, field observations, and documentation related to the policy dissemination process. The findings reveal that the communication strategy of the Public Relations Division in disseminating Mayor Regulation Number 2 of 2025 regarding the reduction of parking fees involves an integrated approach that combines traditional and digital media, clear and visual messaging, and participatory discussion forums. This approach aims to increase public awareness, compliance, and participation, as well as to build public trust in the government. However, the challenges faced include reaching a heterogeneous audience, combating misinformation, simplifying complex information, adapting to technological developments, and managing limited resources. With inclusive and adaptive strategies, it is expected that the policy can be well-received and effectively implemented by the community.

Abstract

This study aims to broadcast globally published documents to guide the correct understanding of this context and initiate policies that the Chinese government needs. China, as one of the largest developing countries, faces the challenge of food security issues, which is an important aspect in studying the policies implemented by the Chinese government in dealing with this issue. The method used is a bibliometric analysis approach with data sources from the Scopus database. The analysis tools are CiteSpace and VOSviewer. This study found that global research trends on food security issues have influenced the interests of researchers worldwide. This is evidenced by the high number of recently published documents. Several research themes require further evaluation, including China's land protection and food policy. The implications of these findings also contribute to the formulation of China's future policies. Responsiveness to global change is also an important point to consider.

Abstract

The phenomenon of violence against children in Islamic boarding schools has become an urgent issue to be addressed systematically. This article aims to explore cases of child abuse in pesantren through a descriptive qualitative approach with Michel Foucault's theoretical framework on power relations. In the context of pesantren, power relations between teachers and santri are often hierarchical and unbalanced, creating a situation that allows for the abuse of power. Violence, both physical and sexual, reflects not only individual violations but also systemic problems influenced by a culture of absolute obedience and lack of supervision. Based on data analysis and in-depth interviews, this article identifies the root causes and offers strategic recommendations, including reform of pesantren culture, strengthening of regulations, and provision of safe complaint mechanisms. The article emphasizes the need for collaborative measures between the government, pesantren, and communities to create a child-friendly educational environment and support their rights.

Abstract

The construction of a marine fence in Tangerang limits access for coastal communities, especially fishermen, to marine resources. This is an unlawful act (PMH) based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code. The construction of a sea fence also creates a conflict between the interests of the developer and the interests of the community. This research aims to analyze government policy in dealing with the maritime fence polemic in Tangerang. This research uses normative juridical methods with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The data analysis technique used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive-analytical approach. Research findings show that the construction of the sea wall in Tangerang was carried out without proper permits and violated Law Number 27 of 2007 concerning Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands. In addition, this action has the potential to harm the community both economically and socially, giving them the legal right to file civil claims for compensation or dismantling of the seawall. Regarding dispute resolution mechanisms, this study found that mediation and negotiation are more effective options than litigation. concluded that the construction of a sea wall in Tangerang violates civil law principles. The legal implications include potential civil claims based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code, as well as claims for compensation from affected communities. The recommendation of this research is that the government must strengthen regulations and licensing mechanisms and transparency of coastal infrastructure projects to prevent illegal land occupation in the future.

Abstract

The rights of origin and traditional rights of Indigenous Peoples are aspects mandated by law to be recognized and protected as the basis of recognition. However, these rights are often misunderstood by the state in the formation of customary villages or the management of indigenous communities, resulting in many traditional communities (Indigenous Society) not receiving full recognition. The state often views the issues of indigenous communities administratively, without touching on abstract aspects such as local values, which results in misguided policies. This phenomenon occurs among Indigenous communities in Lebak Regency, where the establishment of customary villages, instead of strengthening customary rights, is caught in the tug-of-war of elite political interests. This discourse shows that asymmetric democracy, which should be an inclusive mechanism, instead creates negative implications such as the politicization of customs, the erosion of local values, the disruption of ecological balance, and the introduction of transactional politics. This article dissects the dynamics of the formation of customary villages through the perspective of asymmetric democracy, highlighting its implications for local values, ecosystem balance, and political practices. Using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach, this article seeks to explore the meaning of the experiences of Indigenous Communities in Lebak Regency in facing the challenges of democracy and the recognition of customary rights. This study found that the establishment of customary villages in Lebak Regency, which was expected to strengthen the recognition of customary rights, is instead influenced by the tug-of-war of political interests, thereby threatening local values and environmental balance and encouraging the politicization of customary practices within the framework of asymmetric democracy.

Abstract

Mangrove conservation is essential for enhancing coastal resilience with sustainable development, particularly in areas vulnerable to environmental degradation. This study explores the many factors that influence sustainable mangrove management from both a collaborative governance and public administration perspective. Using a quantitative approach with potential analysis and the MICMAC method, data were collected through expert sampling involving stakeholders with extensive knowledge in environmental policy and coastal governance. The analysis revealed four key enabler variables—stakeholder engagement, regulatory framework, economic conditions, and environmental awareness—all of which showed high influence with low dependency, thus positioning these variables appropriately as critical elements for establishing an effective green governance system. In addition, elements such as environmental education, institutional quality, law enforcement, socio-cultural values, technological innovation, and tourism potential were considered to contribute to long-term sustainability, but with less weighting. Integration and strengthening of these planned enablers remain essential to improving mangrove conservation outcomes, as well as ensuring the long-term well-being of coastal communities. This study highlights the importance of how we should foster a collaborative multi-actor governance model. This will support sustainable coastal ecosystem management within a public administration framework.

Abstract

This article examines the institutionalization of ethical norms in the governance of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on the Rome Call for AI Ethics as a global initiative. The study addresses the ethical challenges posed by AI, including algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and social inequality. Using constructivism and the "norm life cycle" framework, it analyzes the emergence, diffusion, and internalization of ethical principles such as transparency, inclusion, and accountability. Findings highlight the critical roles of international organizations, private corporations, and civil society in advocating for these norms. However, challenges such as capacity disparities between nations and resistance from key actors persist. The study underscores the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration and localized approaches to ensure equitable adoption of AI ethics. By offering insights into global norm institutionalization, this research contributes to the discourse on creating responsible and sustainable AI governance frameworks that prioritize humanity's collective welfare.

Abstract

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have been one of the non-state actors that have contributed to world peace and peaceful coexistence; NGOs have served as a platform for individuals and organizations to contribute to peacebuilding and resolve various humanitarian crises. Every part of the world has its peculiarities; hence, it becomes imperative for international NGOs to face various challenges while discharging their duties. This paper focuses on identifying the roles and impediments of international NGOs in peacebuilding in the northeastern region of Nigeria. This paper adopted a qualitative research method, and the qualitative data was collected through journals, research publications, websites, and textbooks. The data collected reveals that illiteracy, insecurity, customs, and traditional beliefs, among other factors, are impediments that hinder the operations of international NGOs in the Northeast Region of Nigeria. This paper also identifies the roles of international NGOs in peacebuilding; education and research, provision of relief materials, provision of health care, and provision of social amenities are some of the roles of international NGOs identified in this paper. This paper suggested that the government should invest more in the education sector or adopt the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) education funding policy, and NGOs should partner with traditional rulers, as they are the custodians of traditions and customs, to ensure proper implementation of their policies and execution of their programs.
