Abstract

This article examines the asymmetry between the uniformly formulated national MBKM policy blueprint and the actual conditions of regional universities, particularly regarding resource constraints. Bima Town serves as a clear example of how uniform regulations are challenging to implement due to limited industry partners, low lecturer preparedness, a weak evaluation system, and economic constraints on students. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, the authors explore the experiences of three primary groups: campus leaders, MBKM supervisors, and student participants. Campus leaders enthusiastically welcomed MBKM despite facing structural limitations. Lecturers, as the spearhead of implementation, often had to improvise due to a lack of training and incentives. Students viewed MBKM as an opportunity to broaden their experiences. However, access was significantly affected by family economic conditions: students from wealthy families could participate in cross-regional programs. In contrast, those from less fortunate families could rely only on local programs. Despite these limitations, some campuses have created new forms of adaptation through community-based programs and village empowerment. Such adaptations demonstrate local capacity to reinterpret national policies to maintain their relevance. However, the evaluation mechanism, which remains mainly formal, reveals a significant gap in measuring the program's substantive success. Therefore, the implementation of MBKM in peripheral areas cannot simply be categorized as success or failure but rather as the result of negotiations between central government visions and real-world conditions.

Abstract

The 2024 has a variety of criticisms and problems, especially regarding the use of SIREKAP (Election Recapitulation Information System). The SIREKAP issue is related to public trust in election results. This research uses a qualitative approach to explore how civil society seeks to advocate before and after the 2024 elections, especially in terms of the use of SIREKAP. The results of the study show several important findings. First, e-recapitulation is an election technology model that is considered more relevant for the Indonesian context from the perspective of civil society groups. Second, there was inadequate preparation and implementation of SIREKAP, which caused problems during the 2024 elections. Third, civil society groups consider that the issue of public communication, which is less responsive to the KPU, worsens the public's perception of SIREKAP. Fourth, civil society organizations have been active in providing recommendations and conducting supervision as well as innovating election technology, but the KPU's response to these inputs is still limited. This finding shows that civil society groups have advocated optimally regarding the use of SIREKAP even though they did not receive a significant response from the KPU as the core stakeholder of election technology users. This shows the importance of actively involving civil society in monitoring implementation and starting from the planning and evaluation stages of SIREKAP to increase transparency, accountability, and public trust in future election results.

Village funds are a vital instrument in supporting independent and sustainable village development, yet deviations often occur due to weak oversight. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation of several informants. The results of the study indicate that the management of village funds in Tasikmalaya Regency is carried out systematically and accountably through stages of planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability, in accordance with regional regulations. This process is supported by digital systems and community participation to ensure accountability. The regional government, through collaboration with the Regional Inspectorate, the Village Community Empowerment Office, sub-district officials, law enforcement authorities, and civil society, conducts preventive, repressive, and educative supervision to ensure the effective, efficient, and transparent use of village funds. However, this supervision faces challenges such as the limited number and competence of auditors, low capacity of village officials, lack of integration in the reporting system, and insufficient synergy among supervisory institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen human resource capacity, develop technology-based reporting systems, and enhance inter-agency cooperation to create more professional and accountable governance of village funds.es of planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability, in accordance with regional regulations.

Abstract

This study analyzes the contradiction between Indonesia’s climate policy commitments and the investment behavior of its state-owned banks. Climate change has emerged as a defining issue in global governance, with initiatives like the Paris Agreement and energy transition frameworks spearheading mitigation efforts. In Indonesia, the repercussions are severe, including escalating natural disasters and estimated economic losses of IDR 544 trillion between 2020 and 2024. To confront these challenges, the government has outlined ambitious targets of phasing out coal by 2030 and achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060. However, substantial funding from state-owned banks continues to flow into the coal sector, revealing a persistent misalignment between strategic environmental goals and institutional financial practices. This study adopts a qualitative methodology, drawing on primary sources such as official policy statements and secondary materials including academic literature, journalistic commentary, and institutional reports. The analysis demonstrates that short-term profit imperatives undermine the credibility of Indonesia’s NZE agenda, rendering it largely rhetorical. Ultimately, the investment patterns of state financial institutions not only contravene governmental pledges but also intensify the adverse impacts of climate change.

Abstract

Public institutions in modern state life have increasingly become essential mechanisms for fulfilling community needs. In the twenty-first century, as society advances alongside rapid technological development, the community as the primary stakeholder expects public services that are effective, just, and satisfying. To fulfill these expectations, Maritime Education and Training Institutions must provide services responsibly and in compliance with ethical and legal standards. This research seeks to assess current practices, uncover existing shortcomings, and propose a reconstructed framework for public service regulations within Maritime Education and Training Institutions, particularly those that remain inadequate in ensuring justice. The research employs a post-positivist paradigm, recognizing multiple perspectives, context-dependent realities, and the importance of rigorous and precise data collection. A sociological juridical approach is also used, supported by primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources. The results highlight three main findings. First, existing public service regulations do not adequately prioritize fairness and oversight, demonstrating the need to integrate these principles as required by Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services. Second, the shortcomings originate from weak philosophical foundations and an underdeveloped legal framework, which remain overly simplistic, lack equity, and provide limited space for public oversight. Third, incorporating justice values grounded in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution is crucial for establishing good governance that reflects national wisdom while meeting global ethical standards.
