Abstract

This study examines how sanitation, cultural sensitivity, and tourism policy intersect within community-based tourism (CBT) in East Java, Indonesia, and Western Australia. At its heart, the research seeks practical ways to improve sanitation infrastructure while honoring local cultures and safeguarding the environment—an effort that contributes to ongoing conversations about building truly sustainable tourism. Using a qualitative approach, the study looks closely at public policies, challenges on the ground, and best practices that shape sanitation in CBT settings. Case studies from East Java and Western Australia provide a comparative lens, highlighting both the shared struggles and unique solutions emerging from different contexts. Data were gathered through policy documents, interviews with decision-makers, and direct field observations to capture both structural frameworks and lived experiences. The findings reveal that in Indonesia, efforts to integrate traditional knowledge with modern sanitation practices show promise, but issues of access and long-term maintenance remain pressing. In contrast, Australia demonstrates how consistent attention to hygiene, accessibility, and sustainability can set a strong standard for CBT sanitation. The study underscores that effective sanitation is never the task of a single actor—it depends on collaboration between governments, private partners, and local communities. Lessons from both contexts highlight the value of cross-cultural exchange, policy alignment, and technology in reducing gaps in infrastructure and service delivery. Ultimately, fostering inclusive and sustainable sanitation in CBT requires more than facilities: it calls for policy reforms rooted in cultural respect, investment in green technologies, and the empowerment of communities to lead change. Future research should continue to explore creative solutions that keep sanitation excellence at the center of community-based tourism, ensuring that local well-being and visitor experience advance hand in hand.

Abstract

The Etu traditional boxing tradition is a form of local wisdom of the Wulu people of Wuliwalo Village, Nagekeo Regency, NTT. It symbolizes courage, social solidarity, and customary conflict resolution. However, this tradition faces challenges due to modernization and declining interest from the younger generation. The aim of this study is to identify local values contained in Etu, analyze the revitalization strategies carried out by the community, and evaluate the role of Etu in the development of cultural tourism. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The research location was in Wulu, Wuliwalo Village, Mauponggo District, Nagekeo Regency. The research results show that Etu still holds strong cultural significance, embodied in the values of restrained courage, restorative solidarity, and discipline that respects tradition. Revitalization efforts have been carried out through youth involvement, systematic documentation, scheduling Etu in the village's annual cultural calendar (as an educational demonstration), and collaboration with tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis). This revitalization has resulted in increased youth participation, the emergence of local economic opportunities, and the strengthening of cultural identity. In conclusion, if managed in a participatory and sustainable manner, Etu has great potential to become a unique and authentic community-based tourist attraction, providing significant social and economic benefits, and strengthening local cultural identity.

Abstract

This article analyzes the politics of mobilizing support for the empty-box option in the 2024 Pangkalpinang local election, positioning it as a form of citizens’ electoral resistance to the narrowing of competition under single-candidate dominance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis the study maps: (1) patterns of mobilization and volunteer networks, (2) movement resources (socio-cultural capital) and their negotiation with elite political capital, and (3) policy implications arising from regulatory gaps after an empty-box victory. The findings show that mobilization was organic and grew through cross-class community nodes (e.g., BOTAK, PKK, and Baju KOKO), supported by cultural framing, network-based communication (WhatsApp/social media), and solidarity practices that substituted for conventional political logistics. At the same time, the empty-box victory unfolded within local power relations in which political capital and kinship politics shaped the opportunity structure and narrowed formal channels of competition. The article offers recommendations to strengthen the governance of single-candidate local elections: clarifying the status and rights of the empty box in electoral regulation, strengthening internal party democracy, and developing mechanisms to prevent nomination cartelization so that electoral competition remains meaningful.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of health service innovation diffusion in the Bengkulu City Government, analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in the process of health service innovation diffusion in the Bengkulu City Government, recommend the right model for the process of health service innovation diffusion in Bengkulu City. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive approach, involving informants from the community and 5 service officers. The data sources in this study consist of primary and secondary data, with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation carried out directly by the researcher. Data analysis techniques include data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity testing uses data triangulation techniques. This study proves that health service innovation diffusion is determined by the knowledge and persuasion stages, which directly improve decision-making certainty, implementation effectiveness, and accurate confirmation of expected health service outcomes. In addition, community acceptance and understanding of innovation are also important findings that must be encouraged through various outreach and mentoring activities in the field. As organic intellectuals, communities hold a strategic role not merely as recipients but as active triggers and initiators of innovation, underscoring the need for policies that systematically mobilize community capacity to drive sustainable health service innovation diffusion.

Abstract

This study examines how key actors and informal practices sustain the implementation of agrarian reform under Indonesia’s decentralized governance, focusing on the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA). It aims to bridge the gap between formal institutional arrangements and actual policy outcomes by analyzing how collaboration unfolds in practice. Using a longitudinal qualitative design (2021–2024), the study draws on 45 in-depth interviews and policy document analysis across two contrasting districts—Sragen (high-performing) and Temanggung (low-performing). The analysis is guided by collaborative governance and multidimensional integration frameworks. The findings reveal three core dynamics. First, GTRA collaboration largely stagnates at the coordination level, with only 29% of forums producing actionable outcomes due to the absence of integrated systems and joint budgeting. Second, institutional dominance—particularly by the Land Office—creates informal “shadow hierarchies” that undermine horizontal collaboration. Third, informal personal networks play a decisive role, enabling 91% of successful initiatives but contributing to 63% of institutional memory loss following leadership rotation. The study concludes that agrarian reform is sustained through a paradoxical reliance on personalized leadership within fragmented systems. To address this, it proposes a hybrid governance model that institutionalizes adaptive leadership, codifies knowledge transfer, and embeds informal collaboration within formal structures. This approach offers a context-sensitive alternative to conventional models, emphasizing relational governance as a pathway to more resilient and inclusive policy implementation.

Abstract

Environmental degradation in Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra, Indonesia, has become a complex governance challenge driven by the expansion of floating net cages (KJA), water pollution, and fragmented institutional coordination among stakeholders. Despite regulatory interventions and restoration programs, environmental management remains ineffective due to competing interests and weak coordination among government institutions, private actors, and local communities. This study analyzes the dynamics of collaborative governance in environmental protection and management in Lake Maninjau. This research employs a qualitative case study between August and November 2024. Data were collected through purposive sampling involving 11 key informants from local government institutions, private sector actors, and community groups. Data collection included in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, which were analyzed using thematic analysis based on the collaborative governance framework proposed by Ansell and Gash. The findings show that collaborative governance develops through four interrelated dimensions: initial conditions shaped by ecological pressures and economic dependence on aquaculture; institutional design reflecting stakeholder roles in lake management; leadership exercised by the Agam Regency Government in coordinating initiatives; and collaborative processes developed through dialogue, trust building, and joint programs such as Save Maninjau. Strengthening institutional coordination, stakeholder participation, and regulatory enforcement is essential for sustainable lake governance.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the policy for handling out-of-school children in Gorontalo Province by examining its implementation, governance mechanisms, and contextual challenges at the local level. The research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to capture the perspectives, experiences, and interpretations of key actors involved in education policy implementation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and field observations involving provincial and district education officials, school principals, teachers, local government representatives, parents, and children who had dropped out of school. The data were analyzed interactively using stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with policy evaluation focused on administrative, legal, and political dimensions. The findings indicate that the problem of out-of-school children in Gorontalo Province is most prominent among adolescents aged 16–18 years, particularly during the transition to secondary education. Economic pressure, socio-cultural norms, geographic accessibility, and limited educational infrastructure are key determinants of school discontinuation. From an administrative perspective, weaknesses in data integration and cross-sectoral coordination reduce policy effectiveness. Legally, although the policy framework is relatively strong, weak law enforcement and the absence of clear sanctions limit its coercive power. Politically, formal government support has not been fully translated into responsive and participatory policies for vulnerable groups. In conclusion, the effectiveness of policies addressing out-of-school children in Gorontalo Province depends not only on program availability but also on strengthening governance capacity, legal enforcement, and collaborative, context-sensitive implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how ecofeminist strategies contribute to advancing women’s empowerment and environmental sustainability across diverse socio-political contexts. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this study analyzes twenty-eight empirical and conceptual articles published between 2015 and 2025, sourced from Scopus and ProQuest. The review follows the PRISMA protocol, with study quality assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist, and employs thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and contextual determinants. The findings reveal six interconnected strategies: gender-based policy reform, economic empowerment, ecofeminist education, grassroots activism, recognition of local knowledge, and intersectional approaches. These strategies operate synergistically across political, economic, and epistemic dimensions, demonstrating that empowerment emerges from dynamic interactions among structural, cultural, and ecological factors. Key success factors include alignment with local values, multi-level collaboration, and sustained political commitment, while major barriers involve entrenched patriarchy, neoliberal co-optation, and epistemic marginalization. This study concludes that ecofeminism offers a multidimensional and context-sensitive framework that links gender justice with environmental governance. Integrating these strategies into global agendas, such as the Sustainable Development Goals and UNFCCC Gender Action Plan, can strengthen inclusive, participatory, and resilient pathways toward sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of the Perintis Lake tourist area in Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, through the integration of smart tourism and the creative economy as a policy strategy towards inclusive and sustainable tourism. This study reflects a paradigm shift from solely economic-based tourism to governance oriented toward technology, creativity, and community empowerment. The research method used descriptive qualitative methods, with primary data derived from observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions and secondary data from policy documents and scientific literature. The results indicate that the implementation of smart tourism in Perintis Lake is still limited by digital infrastructure and community technological literacy, while the creative economy is developing organically through MSMEs and Tourism Awareness Groups. The relationship between the two is symbiotic: digital technology expands markets and accelerates the promotion of local products, while the creative economy enriches cultural content and digital tourism experiences. The study formulated the Integrated Smart Creative Lake Tourism Model (ISCLTM), which integrates Smart Experience, Smart Business Ecosystem, Smart People, and Smart Governance within an adaptive feedback loop mechanism. This model emphasizes that destination competitiveness arises from the synergy of technological innovation, social creativity, and collaborative policies, not solely from digitalization.

Abstract

The Halal Certification Program (SEHATI) is a strategic policy aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of MSMEs. The Batam City Government has set a target of 8,000 certifications by 2024 as a form of support for this national policy. This study aims to evaluate the program’s implementation through a meta-governance perspective to provide critical insights for stakeholders. Using a mixed-methods approach with a parallel convergent design, data were collected through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, document reviews, and a satisfaction survey of 100 micro-business owners. The analysis was conducted by integrating the SWOT/TOWS matrix to create strategic priorities. The findings reveal a governance paradox: the program has successfully gained strong social legitimacy based on service performance (output legitimacy), yet remains structurally fragile due to institutional fragmentation, the absence of a formal legal framework at the local level, and weak inter-agency data integration. This study concludes that the sustainability of SEHATI in Batam requires a transformation from an operational facilitation function toward the strengthening of an institutionalized meta-governance structure. Key recommendations include the codification of local regulations, the establishment of a regional Halal Certification Body (LPH), and cross-sectoral data synchronization to mitigate structural barriers and the threat of illegal products.
