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.

Abstract

This study examines how e-government initiatives interact with local realities in shaping public service transformation in disadvantaged regions, focusing on Biak Numfor Regency, Papua. It aims to rethink dominant assumptions of digital governance by analyzing how cultural, institutional, and infrastructural constraints affect implementation outcomes. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews, field observations, and policy document analysis, particularly in licensing services. The findings reveal four interrelated challenges. First, cultural factors limit citizens’ adaptation to digital services, as many users remain unfamiliar with online applications and prefer face-to-face interactions. Second, limited human resource capacity—both in number and digital competence—constrains service responsiveness. Third, inadequate and costly infrastructure hampers the effective deployment of e-government systems. Fourth, uneven internet access creates significant disparities in service reach, particularly in remote island areas. These conditions demonstrate that digital transformation is not merely a technical process but deeply embedded in socio-cultural and territorial contexts. The study concludes that public service transformation in disadvantaged regions requires a shift from standardized digital reforms toward context-sensitive governance. It proposes a localized, hybrid approach that integrates cultural values, strengthens human resource capacity, and expands infrastructure through multi-sector collaboration. By foregrounding local realities, this research contributes to a more inclusive and grounded understanding of e-government implementation in the Global South.

Abstract

This study examines performance management in higher education by developing an integrative framework that bridges institutional governance, operational systems, and value orientation within the implementation of Indonesia’s Government Agency Performance Accountability System (SAKIP). Focusing on Gorontalo State University, the research addresses a critical gap in performance management studies that often treat institutional, operational, and value dimensions separately without integrating local governance context and organizational culture.  Using a qualitative case study approach, this research employs document analysis, institutional performance reports, regulatory reviews, and in-depth analytical triangulation. The analysis is guided by three analytical dimensions: institutional (commitment, legitimacy, digital leadership), operational (planning, measurement, reporting, and evaluation), and value orientation (effectiveness, efficiency, accountability). The findings reveal that performance improvement at Gorontalo State University was driven by strengthened leadership commitment, digital governance initiatives, and alignment of strategic planning with Key Performance Indicators (IKU). However, institutional legitimacy through internal regulations and integrated performance information systems remains incomplete. At the value level, organizational agility and accountability culture require further consolidation to ensure sustainable governance transformation. The study introduces the "Lekko" model as a novel performance management framework, enhancing performance through legality, electronic governance, concern, and collaboration. The research contributes theoretically by expanding performance management literature in higher education governance and practically by offering a replicable adaptive framework for public universities in developing countries undergoing bureaucratic reform and digital transformation.

Abstract

Participatory development programs are an important instrument in realizing inclusive governance in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the performance of participatory development programs in Rangkasbitung Subdistrict, Lebak Regency, Banten, with a focus on community participation, transparency, accountability, and development impact. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study analyzes the implementation of participatory development programs. The results show that although there has been an improvement in the performance of development programs in the context of inclusive governance, challenges remain in terms of the quality of participation, representation of marginalized groups, and program sustainability. This study provides recommendations for strengthening the capacity of local institutions, improving community literacy, and developing more effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms

Abstract

This study examines the role of innovation capacity within inclusive public service governance by developing an integrative analytical framework. Existing literature on public sector innovation, collaborative governance, and digital transformation remains conceptually fragmented, with limited attention to how innovation capacity connects these domains. To address this gap, the study adopts a qualitative analytical approach supported by bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer to explore thematic structures and relationships within the literature. The findings indicate that innovation capacity occupies a central yet under-theorized position in governance discourse. It operates across institutional, relational, and systemic levels, enabling the integration of multi-actor collaboration, digital infrastructures, and adaptive service design. Rather than functioning solely as an organizational capability, innovation capacity emerges as a governance mechanism that transforms fragmented processes into coherent and outcome-oriented public service systems. This study contributes by reframing innovation capacity as a multi-level governance mechanism that bridges collaboration, digitalization, and inclusivity. The findings highlight the importance of systemic capacity building, emphasizing institutional coordination, digital integration, and stakeholder engagement. While limited by its reliance on bibliometric analysis, the study provides a foundation for future empirical research on innovation capacity in diverse governance contexts.

Abstract

Mangrove ecotourism development in urban coastal areas faces complex challenges, including pressures from urbanization and the need for sustainable local economic growth. This study aims to develop a Local Economic Development (LED)-based model for Mangrove Ecotourism in Gunung Anyar Tambak, Surabaya, by applying Blakely's four LED dimensions: locality development, business and economic base development, human resource development, and community economic development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used through field observations, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and secondary data analysis, including spatial planning and local development policies. The findings indicate that Gunung Anyar Tambak has strong local characteristics as an urban coastal mangrove ecosystem that provides ecological protection while offering economic potential, but remains vulnerable to urbanization, tidal flooding, and coastal erosion. This study reveals that mangrove ecotourism has generated diverse local economic activities, including tourism services, small businesses, and processed mangrove-based products. However, these remain fragmented and poorly institutionalized. Human resource development and community participation have been initiated through conservation and environmental education programs. Still, their sustainability is constrained by limited capacity-building mechanisms and reliance on government support and corporate social responsibility. This study proposes an integrated LED-based ecotourism model that emphasizes ecological spatial planning, inclusive local business policies, sustainable investment in green human capital, and the strengthening of community economic institutions. The proposed model contributes to the literature by offering a policy-oriented framework for sustainable mangrove ecotourism in an urban coastal context.
