Abstract

This study analyzed the positive effects behind micro and small enterprises (MSEs) empowerment programs of the former combatants - the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) despite its problem, on transforming Aceh conflict to a positive peace.  MSEs play a critical role in contributing not only to economic empowerment but also conflict transformation and sustaining peace especially during the post peace agreement, that granted Aceh a form of decentralization of power from central government, with a significant degree of political and economic autonomy. Indonesia. Although the MSEs in rural Aceh Province most of them failed, they have positively contributed to the sustainable peace in the region.  Based on this assumption, this study explores the ex-combatant's experience with the MSEs program within the framework of decentralized power, and how the program gradually brought them back into the community. In-depth interviews, and field work observation, were the main techniques of the data collection. The data analysis was done using thematic analysis. The study found that autonomy and decentralization has created new political marketplace. MSEs that were set up in small groups of former combatants, civilian victims and other interested community members, was used to build patronage network and that led to their failure. However, the interactions occurring in operating these MSEs have re-established the relationships among the former combatants, victims, and ordinary people that were broken during the conflict. Thus, MSEs gradually reintegrated those ex-combatants into the community.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Village Financial System (VFS) application in Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency, with a focus on how village government capacity influences digital financial management. The research specifically aims to assess the knowledge and skills of village officials, the adequacy of technical and managerial systems, and the role of organizational values and norms in supporting transparent and accountable financial governance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study examines two key units of analysis: village administrations in Bantan District and the Bengkalis Regency Community and Village Empowerment Agency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, and were validated using source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings reveal that although technological infrastructure, such as computer equipment, is generally sufficient, uneven internet access and limited technical skills among village officials lead to frequent data input errors and delayed financial reporting. Strong leadership from village heads and supportive local government regulations help sustain the system, but officials' weak commitment to continuous training constrains optimal implementation. The study concludes that enhanced training, improved internet connectivity, and stronger institutional commitment are critical to achieving transparent, accountable, and effective digital financial management at the village level.

Abstract

Many large-scale development projects, including Indonesia’s new capital relocation, face challenges in ensuring inclusive and participatory governance. The development of Nusantara Capital City (IKN) has been marked by limited public consultation, rapid policy formulation, and marginalization of local communities, leading to recurring resistance at various levels. These issues threaten the achievement of SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), both of which emphasize inclusive and transparent governance. This study explores co-production as a governance approach to enhance citizen engagement in the context of IKN’s development. Employing a qualitative literature review, it examines how co-production is conceptualized and practiced in the planning of IKN. The findings indicate that while co-production is recognized in official discourse, its implementation remains limited and fragmented. Key barriers include weak legal frameworks, lack of institutional mechanisms, and absence of a formal oversight body. Strengthening co-production is crucial for ensuring transparency, inclusivity, and accountability in IKN’s governance. The study proposes a comprehensive framework involving legal reforms, institutionalization of participatory mechanisms, and enhanced accountability tools. These efforts are vital to transform IKN from a top-down megaproject into a model of inclusive urban governance.

Abstract

The concept of smart city focuses on the use of information and communication technology to improve the efficiency of public services and the quality of life of citizens. In Cirebon City, the implementation of smart city is reflected in the Cirebon Siaga 112 program, which aims to provide fast and effective emergency response services. This study analyzes the policy capacity of the Cirebon Siaga 112 program by assessing analytical, operational and political aspects. The research method uses qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations and documentation studies. The results show that although the use of technology has increased efficiency in emergency response, there are challenges related to system integration, response speed, and personal data protection. Recommendations include continuous improvement in coordination between agencies, officer training, and increased socialization to the community. These findings are expected to help optimize various emergency policies and services in Cirebon City, in accordance with the principles of a smart city.

Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of digital policy research, evaluating its thematic evolution and theoretical underpinnings across international journals. Utilizing the Scopus search engine, the research identifies and classifies digital policy publications from 2013 to 2023, and VOSviewer software was employed to visualize trends, network linkages, and information production. The findings indicate a notable lack of theory-driven research in the digital policy domain, with a majority of studies focusing on empirical or applied aspects rather than foundational theory. This gap is particularly pronounced in areas like cybersecurity, data privacy, and digital governance. Additionally, the study reveals that interdisciplinary journals contribute more to theory-based digital policy research than specialized publications. The research calls for greater integration of theoretical frameworks in digital policy studies to address global digital challenges better. It highlights the need for scholars to explicitly link their work to theory, thus enriching policy development and offering more comprehensive solutions to emerging technological issues. Failure to incorporate theory consistently represents a missed opportunity to influence the broader discourse on digital governance and policy making.

Abstract

This study examines the persistent gap between centralized voter registration policy and its local implementation in Indonesia’s geographically dispersed island districts, focusing on Flores Timur in East Nusa Tenggara Province. The aim is to understand why voter registration inaccuracies undermine democratic inclusion despite institutional reforms and digital innovations. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on 28 in-depth interviews with electoral officials, civil registry personnel, and community stakeholders, complemented by document analysis. The findings reveal three interrelated problems: institutional fragmentation between the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Civil Registry Office (Disdukcapil); lack of real-time interoperability between the Sidalih and e-KTP data systems; and procedural redundancies due to multi-level manual validations. These challenges result in the persistent exclusion of eligible voters, particularly in remote and marginalized communities. Moreover, the study documents how local actors respond through informal workarounds, such as using village records and social networks, which further entrench inequality and data inconsistency. As a key theoretical contribution, this article introduces the concept of data governance dissonance to explain how institutional and technological misalignment perpetuates electoral exclusion in decentralized and resource-constrained democracies. The study provides insights for improving voter registration systems in fragmented governance settings globally.

Abstract

The Teluk Kupang Marine Nature Park (TWAL) in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, represents a valuable marine conservation area with significant potential for sustainable tourism. However, its management faces persistent challenges, including conflicts of interest among stakeholders, environmental degradation, bureaucratic fragmentation, and centralized governance that limits local participation. This study aims to develop and evaluate a collaborative governance model that addresses these barriers and supports sustainable marine tourism. Using a mixed-methods design, the research combines surveys, in-depth interviews, stakeholder analysis, and document review to explore governance dynamics and stakeholder perceptions. The findings reveal that fragmented collaboration, unresponsive bureaucracy, and limited institutional capacity have constrained effective management. To overcome these challenges, the study introduces the Integrated Collaborative Governance Metamorphosis Model (ICGMM), which emphasizes decentralization, participatory decision-making, and capacity building as prerequisites for effective collaboration. The model outlines a transformation pathway from fragmented governance toward integrated, inclusive, and adaptive management practices. Results indicate that strengthening transparency, aligning conservation and tourism objectives, and empowering local communities are critical for achieving long-term sustainability. This study contributes theoretically by advancing collaborative governance through the metamorphosis concept and offers practical insights for policymakers and conservation managers seeking to balance ecological protection and economic development in marine protected areas.

Abstract

This study aims to map the digital literacy competencies of Indonesia’s State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as a foundation for assessing e-government (SPBE) readiness. Focusing on Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra, the research examines the relationship between ASN characteristics and their levels of digital literacy to develop a comprehensive readiness model. Employing a mixed-method approach with quantitative data from 238 respondents and qualitative validation through interviews, the study utilizes Law et al.’s (2018) Digital Competence Framework alongside the Ministerial Regulation on ASN Competencies. The findings reveal that 60.5% of respondents possess a high level of digital literacy, corroborated by the 2023 SPBE evaluation by KemenpanRB, which rated Muara Enim’s SPBE implementation as “good” (score 3.00). The analysis produces an ASN Digital Literacy Mapping Model consisting of four interrelated dimensions: (1) operationalization of analytical technology tools, (2) digital data and information management, (3) digital interaction and collaboration, and (4) digital security knowledge. This model contributes a new analytical framework for assessing digital readiness within Indonesia’s public sector and supports the integration of digital literacy assessment in SPBE self-evaluation. Although limited to one regency and cross-sectional data, the model provides a replicable foundation for broader regional and longitudinal studies.

Abstract

This study examines barriers to implementing inclusive digital education policy in under-resourced, urban-peripheral contexts, focusing on Kupang City in Eastern Indonesia. Despite its urban status, Kupang faces infrastructural fragility, limited institutional capacity, and socio-economic disparities that complicate the translation of national reforms, particularly Merdeka Belajar and the Platform Merdeka Mengajar (PMM), into practice. Using a qualitative single-embedded case study, data were collected through 25 semi-structured interviews with national, municipal, school, and community actors, supplemented by policy documents and statistical records. Guided by Grindle’s policy content–context model, Lipsky’s street-level bureaucracy theory, and van Dijk’s digital inclusion framework, the analysis highlights three interconnected dimensions that sustain policy–practice gaps: governance misalignment, technological deficits, and constrained actor agency and resource support. These produce five barriers: weak coordination, limited teacher capacity, street-level discretion, and reliance on unstable external resources. Findings reveal that limited outcomes are shaped less by isolated technical failures than systemic misalignments, resulting in partial adoption, symbolic compliance, and selective inclusion. The study contributes by extending empirical evidence to an under-researched eastern Indonesian context. It underscores the need for adaptive governance, targeted capacity building, and stable resources to align national ambitions with local realities.

Abstract

This study examines the factors that explain the stagnation of community-based tourism (CBT) in Sambeng Village, part of the Balai Ekonomi Desa (Balkondes) program in Indonesia’s Borobudur super-priority tourism destination. Adopting a qualitative single-case study design, the research draws on 22 semi-structured interviews with villagers, local elites, government officials, and external stakeholders, complemented by field observations and document analysis. Findings indicate that stagnation is not the result of a single determinant but rather an interplay of interrelated conditions. Four key factors emerged: tokenistic participation that reduced villagers to symbolic roles, the absence of empowerment across economic, psychological, social, and political dimensions, institutional voids that left the Balkondes without governance anchors, and incompatibility between tourism initiatives and agrarian livelihoods. Elite competition further generated institutional inertia, leading to what this study conceptualizes as “elite paralysis,” a condition preventing both capture and mobilization. The research contributes to CBT scholarship by expanding the typology of outcomes beyond success and failure to include non-emergence under institutional voids. Empirically, it offers new insights from a neglected case in a flagship national program. Practically, it highlights the risks of infrastructure-first approaches and underscores the need for institution-building, leadership development, and trust formation to foster sustainable CBT.
