Abstract

This study examines the Public Service Innovation Development Model in improving service quality at the Bureau of Organization of the Regional Secretariat of South Sumatra Province. Using a qualitative approach with interviews, observations, and documentation, the study finds that while the innovation model is effective, challenges exist in innovation process management, innovator skills, service standardization, and public participation. Supporting factors include visionary leadership, skilled human resources, technological infrastructure, collaboration, and an innovative culture. Inhibiting factors involve rigid policies, budget constraints, lack of evaluation, and minimal public involvement. Efforts to overcome these challenges include enhancing HR skills, forming an innovation team, developing a strategic plan, establishing service standards, and fostering multi-stakeholder engagement. The study highlights the need for a structured and adaptive innovation model to enhance public service quality effectively.

Abstract

This article explores the evolution of sports policy in South Sumatra, focusing on athlete development and the challenges faced in the implementation process. South Sumatra has emerged as a key player in national sports, hosting prestigious international and national events, yet the province struggles with consistently producing top-performing athletes. The study examines the complexities of sports policy, including the role of government and private sector collaboration, and the impact of infrastructure and resource availability on athlete performance. It also highlights the disconnected between the large-scale investments in sports facilities and the declining achievements of local athletes. Key challenges identified include the lack of a comprehensive and cohesive policy framework, minimal private sector involvement, and inadequate athlete development programs. Through a review of the existing sports policies, this article aims to provide insights into how South Sumatra can improve its athlete development strategies to address these challenges. The findings emphasize the need for coordinated efforts between government, private stakeholders, and local communities to create a sustainable model for sports development in the province.

Abstract

Regional head elections or Pilkada are electoral processes at the local level organized by the KPU in the region with the principles of direct, general, free, secret, honest, and fair elections. One of the central roles performed by the KPU is conducting political education. This is also what the KPU of Kudus Regency has done. One of the target points in the KPU's socialization program is first-time voters. First-time voters in the Kudus Pilkada are a central focus due to their fantastic number, according to the KPU Kudus's voter list totaling 145,140 first-time voters. This research aims to examine the steps taken by the KPU of Kudus Regency to increase voter participation. This research aims to understand the steps taken by the KPU (General Elections Commission) of Kudus Regency in increasing voter participation. The research method we used is descriptive qualitative research and data collection through observation and in-depth interviews. The findings include the role of the KPU of Kudus Regency in enhancing the political participation of first-time voters through several means, including 'KPU Kudus Goes To Campus'. Conclusion: The role performed by the KPU of Kudus Regency in increasing political participation among first-time voters is already optimal, although the delivery of material is less comprehensive. Meanwhile, the factors influencing the increase in voter participation are political party factors, political socialization with volunteers, and political awareness factors.

Abstract

Waste generation is an inevitable consequence of human activity and remains a pressing issue, particularly in urban areas. Rapid increases in waste volume, combined with inadequate infrastructure and ineffective disposal systems, have led to serious environmental and public health concerns. Community-based waste management strategies, such as waste banks, offer sustainable alternatives by integrating recycling programs, financial incentives, and citizen engagement. This study explores the roles and challenges of Bank Sampah Teratai (BS Teratai), a community-led waste bank in Pondok Pucung, South Tangerang, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, the research highlights BS Teratai’s contributions in raising environmental awareness, promoting economic empowerment through waste-based savings, and strengthening social cohesion. Verbatim quotes from participants illustrate how the initiative transforms waste from a burden into a valuable community asset. However, persistent challenges remain, including inconsistent community participation, limited storage capacity, unstable recyclable market prices, and the absence of proper facilities for hazardous and electronic waste. The COVID-19 pandemic further disrupted community involvement, exposing the vulnerability of grassroots efforts. This study emphasizes that waste banks can function not only as waste reduction tools but also as platforms for empowerment and behavioral change. The BS Teratai case offers valuable insights for replicating sustainable, community-based waste management models in other urban settings.

Abstract

Extreme poverty is a multidimensional issue that demands a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach. Through the One OPD, One Fostered Village program, the Maluku Provincial Government aims to facilitate the involvement of five key pentahelix actors—government, private sector, academia, community, and mass media—to accelerate poverty alleviation in priority villages. This study investigates the dynamics of collaboration, the forms of collaborative actions, and the impacts of the pentahelix model in the implementation of the program. Employing a qualitative approach with a focused case study in six priority villages in East Seram Regency, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted using the collaboration framework developed. The study offers practical recommendations, including strengthening cross-sectoral coordination, expanding the roles of collaborative actors, developing a sustainability roadmap, and improving policy frameworks to enhance the program’s long-term effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

The emergence of smart cities represents a transformative shift in urban development, integrating digital technologies, data-driven governance, and sustainable infrastructure to enhance quality of life and economic efficiency. This article explores how smart city initiatives are reshaping business dynamics and driving the growth of the smart economy. By leveraging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics, smart cities enable new business models, optimize operational efficiency, and support innovation ecosystems. The paper also highlights the critical role of public–private partnerships, regulatory frameworks, and digital infrastructure in creating an economic environment that is responsive, adaptive, and inclusive. Through a multidisciplinary analysis, this study reveals the interconnection between urban intelligence and economic competitiveness, offering strategic insights for policymakers, business actors, and urban planners. Ultimately, smart cities do not merely transform how cities operate—they also redefine how businesses compete and collaborate in the digital age.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse how ethical leadership as a catalyst for synergy between ethics and performance of the state apparatus in Gunungkidul district government and the factors that cause it. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with ethnographic method. The etnographic method aims to deeply understand the culture, values, practices and perspectives of factors in a specific government context. Data collection involved secondary data obtained through review and analysis of previous studies and primary data obtained through observation. The theory used in this research is ethical leadership theory, which includes integrity, honesty and moral responsibility toward others. Ethical theory consists of values. Principles, standards and norms of behaviour and government performance theory measured by input, output,outcome and impact indicators. The result indicate that the Gunungkidul district government has great potential to make ethical leadership a driver of ethics and performance synergy. Although its implementation has not been uniform at all levels. This unevenness is influenced by several factors such as different interpretations of the code of ethics, inconsistent supervision, different leadership examples and resistance from different organisational cultures.

Abstract

This research aims to identify ways to handle flood and landslide disasters in strengthening collaboration between the government and CSOs in Purworejo Regency. Often describe elements of cooperation in handling flood and landslide disasters. The research method applied is qualitative with a case study approach between CSO and the Purworejo Regency Government in disaster management in 2021-2022. The findings of this study show that efficient collaboration in disaster management can be implemented through three important steps, namely: the importance of creating trust between all parties from the beginning, showing a high level of commitment throughout the process, and this collaboration can create common understanding and outcomes that benefit the community and the government. For this reason, the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Purworejo Regency provides a more comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of collaboration in disaster management as well as the factors that contribute to overcoming flood and landslide disasters. However, the implementation of Collaborative Governance has not gone well, this can be seen from the constraints and lack of private sector participation in analyzing articles on flood and landslide disasters. We urgently need input from readers for the development of the next article.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain local democracy in indigenous communities. To understand how local democracy is practiced in indigenous communities, it is necessary to trace how power is distributed in these communities. This study uses qualitative research methods that allow for in-depth exploration of local democracy and power distribution in the Kuta indigenous community. The practice of democracy in indigenous communities is not only present in formal mechanisms regulated by the state, but also through informal mechanisms rooted in tradition and local wisdom. In indigenous communities, regulations in various aspects of life are not only part of the functioning of formal government but also become a realm of regulation based on local customary values. Meanwhile, the democratic values of indigenous Indonesian communities generally stem from a spirit of togetherness and kinship. The tradition of deliberating to resolve issues, followed by consensus-based decision-making, is a manifestation of these values of togetherness and kinship. An important finding of this study is that the formal power structure in Kampung Kuta is divided into two structures, namely the formal structure run by the village government and the informal structure run by the customary leader, which includes the kuncen, customary elders, and village elders. The results of the study show that the practice of local democracy in Kampung Kuta can balance the division of formal and informal power, which serves to maintain community identity, strengthen social life, and ensure the sustainability of cultural values. This confirms how local democracy can adapt to traditional values.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of the Adhoc Agency's role in handling voter list updates in general elections, with a focus on Tegal Timur Subdistrict, Tegal City. Updating the voter list is a crucial stage in the conduct of elections as it determines the accuracy of voter data and the legitimacy of election results. The study employs Performance Prism analysis using the Nvivo software tool, based on transcripts of interviews with two commissioners and the Chair of the Election Commission (PPK). The research findings indicate that the Ad Hoc Body has a clear function, but its effectiveness is still hindered by several factors, including high population mobility, which leads to an increase in issues, low public participation in population administration, and the inadequate development of technology that should support the performance of election organisers. These findings occurred during the 2024 general and regional elections. Overall, these findings underscore that the challenges in updating the voter list are multidimensional. Administrative and technological barriers cannot be separated from participatory and structural aspects. Therefore, collaboration is needed between stakeholders of the Ad Hoc Agency and the government through a comprehensive and inclusive approach that not only focuses on updating the information system but also encourages active community involvement, whether through strengthening human resources or socialisation, and enhancing institutional capacity to ensure accuracy and fairness in the compilation of the voter list.
