Abstract

The purpose of this study is to look at government policies in realizing environmentally friendly public transportation, especially public transportation that is integrated with waste management. The research method uses a qualitative method with a case study approach on public transportation in the city of Surabaya. Based on the results of the study, to realize a sustainable city and reduce congestion and waste in the city of Surabaya, the government has made a policy of paying for public transportation using plastic bottle waste. The use of payments with plastic bottles greatly helps the government in breaking down existing waste and encouraging people to use public transportation in the city of Surabaya, especially for the Suroboyo Bus. In addition, to support and strengthen environmentally friendly public transportation, the Surabaya City Government has begun to replace the fleet with electric public transportation. The change in transportation modes from fossil fuels to electricity is also government support in realizing sustainable public transportation in Indonesia. The conclusion of this study is that the government has a policy to reduce waste and congestion problems, one of which is by paying for public transportation using waste. To strengthen this policy, the government also integrates all urban transportation in Surabaya, with the GoBis application. The integration of public transportation management is the seriousness of the Surabaya City Government in overcoming urban problems.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how women in Aceh navigate Sharia-based moral regulations within the gendered public sphere of coffee shop culture and to analyze the strategies they employ to construct agency, identity, and visibility under Qanun governance. Using a descriptive phenomenological approach, this research adopts Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity as its main analytical framework. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation involving five active female informants in coffee shops in West Aceh. The findings indicate that women’s participation in coffee shop culture represents adaptive and strategic forms of everyday agency. Women negotiate religious and social boundaries by regulating their presence through specific choices of visiting time, clothing, seating positions, and interaction styles, allowing them to remain within socially acceptable norms while subtly challenging gendered exclusions. Furthermore, coffee shops function as informal yet significant arenas for gender contestation, enabling women to build professional networks, engage in public discourse, and consolidate social and professional agendas in traditionally male-dominated spaces. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the public sphere in Aceh simultaneously reflects Sharia control and opens opportunities for women to exercise adaptive and subversive agency. These findings contribute to the literature on gender relations, Sharia regulation, and public space by highlighting coffee shops as micro-level sites where women continuously negotiate identity, rights, and participation in a post-conflict society governed by religious norms.

Abstract

This study aims to map the public values articulated by stakeholders in the governance of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) trade in Nagan Raya District, Aceh, Indonesia. Using the Public Value Mapping (PVM) approach and a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 key actors including smallholder farmers, palm oil mills, collecting agents, farmer organizations, government officials, academics, and media supplemented by observation and document analysis. The findings reveal an asymmetry in public value accommodation, where dominant actors such as mills and agents enjoy high value alignment, while farmers, academics, and media experience marginalization. Values related to efficiency and supply continuity are more readily accommodated than those concerning justice, transparency, and participation. These results indicate the presence of public value failure, driven by market dominance, weak regulatory capacity of government institutions, and the absence of strong reflective actors. The study underscores the urgency of inclusive governance reform, strengthening farmer organizations, and enhancing the active role of academics and media in promoting a more equitable trading system. The PVM approach proves relevant in capturing value dynamics within agribusiness systems and contributes to advancing governance studies in the local palm oil sector.

Abstract

This research aims to integrate population administration projections with the Theory of Change (ToC) and Evidence-Based Policy (EBP) frameworks to strengthen policy formulation for the equitable distribution of welfare across districts in Mountainous Papua Province. The research used mixed methods with a sequential explanatory design. In the quantitative phase, population, Human Development Index (HDI), and district-level education indicators are projected for the period 2025–2045 using arithmetic and exponential methods, and the results are then compared across eight districts. In the qualitative phase, the projection findings were interpreted to assess the feasibility of policy assumptions, identify intervention needs, and formulate evaluation mechanisms in the spatial context of Mountainous Papua, using ToC as a prospective analytical tool. The results showed variations in trajectories across districts and misalignments between population growth and HDI increases: Yahukimo is projected to have the largest population but the slowest increase in HDI, whereas Jayawijaya and Central Mamberamo show a stronger upward trend in HDI. Education projections indicate uneven progress and declining participation in vocational education, which contributes to the missing middle skill gap. These findings confirm the need to differentiate district-profile-based interventions and to strengthen monitoring as a policy feedback mechanism. It was concluded that equitable distribution of welfare in Mountainous Papua requires predictive planning and data-driven adaptive governance, with ToC–EBP as a framework to test causal logic, target interventions, and strengthen policy evaluation.

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.
