Abstract

This article examines the collaborative governance strategy implemented by the Batu Bara Regency Government in restoring Sejarah Beach. Beaches are critical assets that represent the identity of a region, provide economic benefits, and support the surrounding environmental ecosystem. Unfortunately, many beaches experience environmental degradation and other socio-economic problems. Pantai Sejarah in Batu Bara Regency is no exception, which faces issues such as prostitution, environmental degradation, and local poverty. Using a qualitative methodology, this research explores the collaborative approach used in the revitalization of Pantai Sejarah. In-depth interviews were conducted with various key stakeholders, including representatives from local government agencies (Environmental Agency, Forestry Agency, and Regional Development Agency), PT Inalum's HR management, and local community members. The findings of this study show that the implementation of the collaborative governance approach by the local government has transformed Sejarah Beach into an integrated tourist attraction. In addition, this collaborative initiative also created economic opportunities, including small businesses, new jobs, and revenue for the government. The collaborative effort also addresses social issues such as prostitution through coordinated action between law enforcement, government, and the local community. Furthermore, the collaborative governance approach provides a comprehensive solution to coastal area management by addressing social challenges alongside environmental conservation and economic development.

Abstract

The study aims to examine the phenomena of minoritization, which involves the imposition of the beliefs and culture of dominant groups onto minority groups, leading to social exclusion and conflicts. The study utilizes data analysis to identify themes related to the process of minoritization. The study illustrates that minoritization occurs when dominant groups perceive themselves as superior and endeavor to dominate others, resulting in violence, oppression, and social exclusion. This study focuses on the perspectives of grassroots voices, going beyond traditional inquiries on equalities between different groups to provide a deeper insight into the systemic challenges encountered by minority communities. It emphasizes attributes such as dominant groups imposing their beliefs on others, perceiving them as inferior, and forcing them to adopt their culture or traditions. To address the issue of minoritization, the study emphasizes the importance of carrying out dialogues at all levels, promoting understanding across various cultures and religions, implementing policies that protect the rights of minority groups, and preventing systematic minoritization. This study enhances broader discussions on inclusivity and equality through exploring its findings in relation to global issues of prejudice. It advocates for the increased recognition and valued of minority voices in society. This emphasizes the need for holistic strategies that promote mutual respect among different communities and prevent conflicts arising from social exclusion.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the social, economic, and ecological impacts of Land Use Change (LUC) of forest areas into Palm Oil industrial areas. The research method used was exploratory qualitative and analyzed using Nvivo 12 Plus. he findings of this study show that there are several challenges in the industrial land use of oil palm in forest areas in Riau, Indonesia, such as land conflicts between communities, government, private sector, forest destruction, and natural disasters. Therefore, we suggest that in order to expedite the removal of oil palm plantations from forest areas and to expedite the issuance of plantation licenses for community, private, and government entities wishing to enter such areas, both the federal government and local governments must adopt policies and impose sanctions. This study serves as a knowledge base to address the social, economic and ecological issues resulting from Land Use Change (LUC) in the province from forest areas to industrial areas producing oil palm. The conclusion of this research is that Land Use Change (LUC) from forest area to palm oil industry area in Riau Province, Indonesia has positive and negative impacts on social, economic, and ecological aspects in Riau Province, Indonesia. The government of the Indonesian province of Riau benefits from this research on land use change (LUC) in the palm oil sector.

Abstract

This study explores the level of public participation in e-government in Indonesia, focusing on the Electronic Participation Index (EPI). This research uses qualitative methods and qualitative content analysis. The main data was obtained from the UN E-Government Knowledgebase, especially the E-Participation Index for 2016 to 2022 and Indonesia's E-Participation Index ranking data from 2004 to 2022. The results of this study show that the improvement of e-government infrastructure and services has not been fully successful in increasing public participation. The challenges faced include inadequate regulations, lack of data integration, gaps in ICT infrastructure, and inequality in internet access, especially in rural areas. The culture of bureaucracy, corruption, collusion, and nepotism also hinder public trust in the e-government system. Some government initiatives, such as the Peduli Lindungi application, have shown positive results but have not been fully optimal. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to improve regulations, integrate data, reduce the digital divide, and increase government transparency and accountability. What is new about this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the E-Participation Index in the Indonesian context, which provides a unique perspective on the correlation between e-government infrastructure and public participation levels. In addition, the study offers actionable insights and recommendations for policymakers to improve e-government services by addressing specific regional and cultural barriers.

Abstract

This study displays Twitter's relevance in collecting sentiments and evaluating social networks, notably in election processes. This study examines 10,000 tweets on the 2022 Philippine presidential election, gathered during the key week of May 9–13, 2022, to show Twitter's influence in molding the public conversation. The study found the most popular hashtags, including #halalan2022 and #eleksyon2022, highlighting their importance in the digital discussion around the election. A thorough social network study established eight key communities, demonstrating a strong connection among Filipino netizens during election-related debates. Among these, noteworthy people such as @RexelBartolome and @daywreckoning, as well as the news site @ABSCBNEWS, emerged as essential nodes, demonstrating their influence in information dissemination. Sentiment analysis of the tweets revealed a mostly neutral public mood toward the election, with frequent phrases such as "martial law" and "never again" indicating the discourse's underlying themes. This study examines Twitter as a valuable instrument for political analysis and advocates for a more sophisticated method of picking tweets that truly reflect community attitudes. Future studies should look beyond pre-election times to provide a complete picture of online debate, using Twitter's API for easy data gathering and analysis. This study closes a fundamental gap in understanding social media dynamics in the Philippines, providing insights for academic and practical applications in political communication.

Abstract

The aims of this article is to see the Indonesian media framing toward Habib Rizieq after returning to Indonesia, from Saudi Arabia in 2020. Habib Rizieq Shihab has become one of the media's figures since returning from Saudi Arabia in November 2020. Habib Rizieq is one of the foremost religious figures who has fought or delegitimized Joko Widodo's leadership since 2014. Habib Rizieq has fought for the enforcement of Islamic law in Indonesia and against Jokowi's regime, which he sees as less pro-Islam. The theory used in this article is framing theory.This article analyzes the mainstream media's framing in Indonesia, namely Kompas, Tempo, Jakarta Post, and Republika, in reporting on Habib Rizieq Shihab's figure. In this study, we processed data using the Nvivo 12 and VOSviewer application tools to see media sentiment. In this research, we read 317 news from the four mainstream medias in Indonesia from October to December 2020. We use four keywords in the framing analysis: positive, negative, moderately positive, and moderately negative. This study indicates that moderately negative framing is the highest in Indonesia's mainstream media coverage on Habib Rizieq Shihab's figure. It means that Habib Rizieq failed to reconstruct the power of the masses against Joko Widodo’s regime.

Abstract

This study investigates the constitutional legitimacy of the measures enacted by Tthe Iraqi government to prevent the COVID-19 spreading, which restricted the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Iraqi Constitution 2005. even though the epidemic is a health emergency, the House of Representatives has not declared an emergency state, as the Cabinet resorted to taking preventive measurement to curb the crisis spreading, that restricted constitutional freedoms and rights even though the Iraqi constitution explicitly states that the rights and freedoms cannot be restricted except by law or based on it,  however, this restriction was governed by administrative orders issued by a committee establish by council of ministers under  Diwani Order 55 of 2020, headed by the minister of health,  which  amended then to become headed by the prime minister, for that purpose we have followed the analytical approach to assess the decisions taken by this committee through interpreting constitutional and legal texts and examining many of their restrictive resolutions imposed for demonstrating its legitimacy or illegitimacy and through this analysis we concluded that the majority of its decision on rights and freedoms under the pretext to preventspread  of Covid-19 unconstitution even though the epidemi was serious it cannot be justified  for violating democratic values.

Abstract

This paper intends to examine influence of the Council of Europe (CoE) in two major political parties of Turkiye through their election manifests during the first quarter of the 21st century. The ruling AK Parti and main opposition party, CHP, election manifests are reviewed via MAXQDA data analysis panel. As one of the founding member states of the Council Turkiye has got close ties with the organisation and this has impositions on the national politics. This being the case, the problem of how this area is put on the agenda and evaluated in terms of Turkish political life becomes important. The effects of the CoE on Turkish political parties are classified under eight headings. These headings are examined with the help of graphics as 8 subcategories: “law”, “fundamental rights and freedoms”, “foreign policy”, “public administration”, “fight against corruption”, “democracy”, “labour and social security” and “family and social policies”. Among these, “law” and “fundamental rights and freedoms” categories stand out as the most emphasized issues in the context of the CoE for both parties. Finally reveals that CHP and AK Parti priorities or emphases diverge on certain issues related to CoE. Thus, family and social policies for the CHP, and foreign policy and the fight against corruption for the AK Parti have defined the more prominent categories. Having examined the effects of the Council the paper draws a clear line of relations as far as the eight categories are concerned.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the implementation of a mental revolution that encourages  the acceleration of innovation and digitalization of public services through the implementation of e-government to build a clean, effective, democratic and trusted government.  The research design uses descriptive qualitative research by analyzing policy documents. This article examines the evolution of public service innovation policies in Indonesia related to the mental revolution initiative. The documents reviewed are laws, government regulations, ministerial regulations, and policy documents related to public service innovation and transformation, as well as e-government from January 2014 to May 2024. The results showed that since the launch of the National Movement for Mental Revolution, through the Indonesia Serves program, there has been an acceleration of the process of developing public service digitization innovations. This initiative encourages the acceleration of changes in the quality of public services by accelerating changes in the mindset, attitudes, and behavior of state civil apparatus to produce service innovations that improve the quality of public services. The acceleration of innovation development through e-government and public service digitalization can be realized with budget support, human resource readiness, sustainable policy commitment, and strong leadership in supporting the sustainability of holistic public service innovation.

Abstract

This study provides a theory-based analysis of labour unions in the South African Public Service (SAPS), focusing on the evolving dynamics of labour relations, power structures, and collective bargaining processes. The research investigates how both historical legacies and contemporary socio-economic conditions shape the role of unions within the public sector. Specifically, the study examines the influence of apartheid-era policies, post-apartheid reforms, and the impact of global economic trends on labour organisations. Theoretical frameworks such as institutional theory, social movement theory, and marxist perspectives, along with indigenous frameworks like ubuntu philosophy, worker democracy, liberation unionism, and social movement unionism, underpin the analysis. The research follows a qualitative design, drawing on an in-depth analysis of academic literature, policy documents, legal frameworks, and secondary data sources to uncover trends and patterns in labour relations. Key findings reveal a complex interplay of socio-economic inequalities, political governance, and legislative frameworks that continue to shape union activities within the SAPS. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of socio-cultural dynamics in understanding labour relations within a historically charged environment. This paper contributes to theoretical debates in industrial relations by offering nuanced insights into the challenges and opportunities confronting unions in the South African public sector. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, union leaders, and public administration practitioners aiming to encourage more equitable labour relations and promote social justice. Ultimately, the study provides a framework for rethinking labour union strategies in light of contemporary challenges and the broader pursuit of transformation in the public service.
