Abstract

This article discusses and analyzes efforts to treat the coronavirus (also known as Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19)) by the governments of China, South Korea, Italy, and Indonesia.  To understand the approaches each country takes is very important to get a clear picture of the efforts, steps, strategies, and policies that are formulated and implemented. To analyze COVID-19 cases in the four countries, the governance analysis framework (GAF) approach from Hamza (in Putra and Sanusi 2019) was used. This approach analyzes four aspects: scope map, stakeholder map, process map, and governance map.  Articles utilizing a qualitative approach using descriptive analysis research methods. Data collection techniques used are library studies in the form of books, journal articles, online and conventional news, and the websites of authoritative institutions.  Several important findings are general and specific, including, first of all, the four countries have the same orientation in handling and controlling the spread of the coronavirus.  Secondly, various actors are actively involved in resolving a pandemic starting with the highest leadership of a country, medical staff and nurses, security agencies, researchers, and so on.  Third, the four countries take their respective ways in solving the COVID-19 problem, but generally, they do a lockdown in addition to the health approach. Fourth, China and South Korea are considered successful examples in handling COVID19, otherwise not with Italy and Indonesia.  The lack of success in Italy and Indonesia is caused by two factors, the lack of seriousness of the government and ignorance of citizens, resulting in slow handling of control and widespread of the deadly coronavirus.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the discussion and analysis of corruption eradication attempts in Indonesia with the Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK), The Corruption Eradication Commission) as its centre. As an activity, the commencement of the corruption eradication dates to the pre-Reformation Era. However, its presence is mainly in the form of the foundation of the anti-corruption body without playing real roles as a nominal anti-corruption institution. As a response towards pressure from the IMF, in 2002 the Corruption Eradication Commission was formed as a specialized institution to tackle chronic corruption issues strangling Indonesia in the era of Soeharto’s New Order. Unfortunately, since its inception, there has been no president who is committed to the eradication attempts and therefore sided with the KPK. It is due to the commission’s huge constitutional power (investigation, probing, tapping, arrest, and prosecution) and hence these frighten many corrupt officials. Numerous political elites have been arrested by the KPK such as ministers, governors, regents, mayors and law-enforcers top officials. Consequently, unsurprisingly the KPK faces multi-directional attacks attempting at its weakening through the arrests of its top leaders, iterating its ad-hock (can be dissolved at any time.) status, and the revision of KPK law. Therefore, the government should act firmly to provide protection and supports to the KPK against those potential threats aiming at weakening the commission, to block any legislation potentially lessening the functions of the KPK, and to make sure both KPK’s top leaderships and average personnel are impartial and free of vested interests.

Abstract

The regional elections (Pilkada) of 2020 have been concluded, and could be considered a success. Yet, its implementation cannot be said to be entirely successful, considering the lack of concern of political parties in helping the Government handle the Covid-19 pandemic through their political campaigns.  This study intends to discuss political communication carried out by political parties in an effort to raise awareness of preventing the spread of Covid-19 to the public during the 2020 Pilkada in Indonesia. The approach taken is qualitative, collecting data through in-depth interviews, with the subjects comprising of representatives of political parties and political communication experts.  The study finds that the bulk of the political campaigns carried out by political parties is focused on winning the elections, rather than on efforts to help deal with Covid-19. Community involvement also tends to be low in the 2020 elections, due to a lack of understanding of digital literacy and reluctance to vote due to a lack of understanding of health protocols.Keywords: health protocols; regional elections; community involvement.

Water demand may rise of population growth and economic activities, whilst water service provision may be challenging due to interconnected aspects of water justice, water conflict and water resources management.  Policymaking adaptability to change should think about the consequences of the policy design to all stakeholders, including their situation and options and determine the most possible alternative resolutions. Most attention is given to key lessons for development considering the impact of and the need to discuss the issue of water security in a way that could contribute to protecting lives and the environment. To some extent the issue of water security in Indonesia is interconnected with general enabling measures of assessing the existing regulation at the national level. Unambiguous actions may be required at regional and local levels, together with sound socio-economic and socio-cultural institutions and instruments, namely building capacity and advocating partnerships. This primary qualitative research is about providing water security roadmap in West Java as a case in point, contributing to policy discourse on how to govern the complexity of water security issue concerning making model grounded on collaborating local community participation and regional government support.

Abstract

This article explains the emergence of new Islamic-based parties after the-2019 election in Indonesia. They are Ummah Party, Masyumi-Reborn Party, and Gelora Party. By using intra-party conflicts and path dependency theories, this study reveals that the emergence of those new Islamic parties is associated with frictions among party actors that troubled their prior parties, namely PAN, PBB, and PKS. The formation of the Ummah Party and Masyumi-Reborn Party was also situated by the 2014 and 2019 political contest, which represent the oppositional stance that could not be accommodated by the prior parties. Meanwhile, Gelora  Party offered itself as a middle ground between the pro and contra camps of the government and provided a solution for the Islamic conservatism. This article argues that the emergence of new Islamic parties continues a pattern that has long plagued Indonesian Islamic-based parties, namely political fragmentation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide a description of the service quality of population documents in Subang Regency. The results showed that the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Subang Regency has several tasks related to the quality of population document services in Subang Regency. In this research, the service function is examined from the first point of view, the dimensions of Transparency of Population documents which are currently carried out with Electronic Signatures are conveyed more openly regarding the requirements that must be met and also the completion time set in accordance with the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Second, the accountability dimension, the data contained in the Population Administration Information System (SIAK) has not been well integrated with other institutions, so that in terms of responding to public needs and the ability to service Population Documents through Electronic Signatures is not optimal. Third, the conditional dimension, not prioritizing services to people who need Population Documents for the urgent public interest. Fourth, the Participatory dimension, focused on efforts to organize and accelerate programs in each of the Integrated Service Units, this understanding has not been optimal in improving services to the community. Fifth, the dimension of equal rights, in this case the Population and Civil Registration Service, can minimize discrimination in terms of Population Document services. Sixth, the dimension of the balance of rights and obligations is not optimal because service recipients have not met their needs and supervision that should be carried out by direct superiors is often neglected.Keywords: public service; electronic identity card; e-government

Abstract

Decentralization of Indonesian villages provides opportunities for grassroots-level groups to participate in village development. This study explores the participation of women affiliated with women’s groups in the participatory processes of village development planningin the villages of Central Java. Using a mixed-methods strategy, this study found that many members of women’s groups known as women’s village activists have been involved in participatory planning processes, and used the processes to demand programs that improve women and family well-being.  Besides, their priority for village development seems to differ from that of the current trend, which heavily focuses on village-scale infrastructure development. On average, this group of women have relatively good levels of education and have been active in community activities. The findings of this study reinforce the argument that women village activists who are quite active in community and grassroots activities are potential representatives in determining the priority of village development.

Abstract

Over the past few years, historical records show that floods and strong winds are climatic phenomena that always cause damage and loss to cities. To climate vulnerability and disasters, the geographical character of the city causes the types of vulnerability and the impact of disasters to vary widely. Due to the unpredictable nature of climate change, there is a need for intervention from government agencies through policies and governance to reduce risks from the impacts of climate change. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the Makassar City Government carries out governance to adapt to climate change. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and document review. This research shows that the Makassar government is to formulate seven strategies to reduce the impact of climate change, form a Climate Change Adaptation Working Group and make priority village programs. Priority village program policies will make it easier to map areas with high to low levels of exposure. So with this policy, Makassar will become a city that is more adaptive to climate change. We propose increasing adaptability and decreasing sensitivity to exposure so that Makassar residents will be more resilient in the face of future climate change. In addition, adaptation action does not only rely on the government. However, it involves the community and the private sector so that collective action is created in the context of adapting to climate change.

Abstract

The background of this research is the justification of findings in the form of public services in Indonesia in general, which are not good and not satisfactory. The objectives of this research are; 1) testing the level of public satisfaction with the implementation of basic service programs in Sigi Regency (14 indicators), and; 2) testing the level of public acceptance of the implementation of development programs in Sigi Regency (9 indicators). We use a mix-method approach in analyzing the results of public satisfaction and public acceptance to obtain the depth of data and field results. The results showed that the index of public acceptance of public services in Sigi Regency was 3.92, which means that the majority of Sigi Regency people received local government programs simultaneously. Partially, there are three dimensions in the form of program effectiveness, program efficiency, and dimensions of trust concerning the index of public acceptance of public services in Sigi Regency which is below the average score. However, this dimension does not simultaneously affect the level of public trust in public services in Sigi Regency with a total increase of 76.02%. The implication of this research is the existence of alternative strategies for improvement to improve public acceptance (IPM) and public satisfaction (IKM), including efficiency and public trust in the public acceptance index (IPM) framework, as well as safety and comfort within the public satisfaction index framework (IKM).Keywords: public service; public acceptance index; public satisfaction index; Sigi Regency.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the practice of decentralization as a good lesson in Indonesia. This is done by analyzing whether decentralization can be an effective development solution in developing countries through the identification of several reviews of the problems that arise in it. By using a descriptive-qualitative approach, the research presents and describes a phenomenon in its entirety with the author's interpretation. The results of this study found several important things. The case of Indonesia shows that the problem of the minimum quality of apparatus resources in the regions is still a problem in achieving optimal regional autonomy. Strengthening the management of the apparatus in the regions systematically and equally in this case is an effort that must be made to support the practice of decentralization. In addition, providing political education to civil society to encourage the maturity of society in democracy is a strategic step that can be taken to ensure the political commitment of the government in the regions in realizing decentralization practices that lead to the goal of accelerating development based on the principles of justice and the facilitation of democratic values.
