Abstract

This study aims to analyze the pentahelix actors in developing the competitiveness of the culture-based Creative Economy and MDI in West Sumatran tourist destinations. This study uses the pentahelix theory proposed by Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff (2000). This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type and informant collection techniques using purposive sampling. The data collection method begins with document studies, non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). Data analysis in this study uses the Milles and Huberman method (1992) and uses Mactor software (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts Tactics, Objectives and Recommendations). The results of this study indicate that the development of the creative economy in the competitiveness of the Creative Economy involves actors ranging from the media, government, society, academics, communities, and businesses, as well as banks. Actors involved in the Creative Economy are classified as very strong, namely the media, government, society, and academics. In addition, the pentahelix in developing the competitiveness of the culture-based creative economy in West Sumatran tourist destinations can create an advanced, innovative, and sustainable environment. Collaboration between parties in the pentahelix model can strengthen innovation, increase the competitiveness of tourist destinations, encourage the preservation of local culture, and create a creative economy ecosystem that is sustainable, inclusive, adaptive, and competitive at the national and global levels.

Abstract

Digital literacy is the ability of individuals to use ICT to access, evaluate, and produce digital content effectively. Digital literacy in Indonesia is still low, affecting citizen participation in digital governance of government. The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of E-Participation and Digital Literacy to Trust in E-Government Services in Big Cities in Indonesia, e-participation variables, digital literacy as well as identifying the weakest indicators in citizen digital engagement. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects were 66 randomly selected residents of Mataram City. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show Based on the results of descriptive analysis, multiple linear regression, ANOVA, and data graphic visualization, this study concludes that E-Participation (X1) and Digital Literacy (X2) contribute significantly to Trust in E-Government Services (Y). Although both have a positive influence, the Digital Literacy variable is proven to have a stronger and statistically significant contribution (p = 0.025) compared to E-Participation (p = 0.096). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.253) shows that the two variables explain approximately 25.3% of the variability in public trust in e-government, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the model.

Abstract

Growing secondary cities often face fragmented authority, dispersed policy information and weak cross-sector follow-up, which constrain integrated urban governance. This study examines how institutional fragmentation shapes urban governance in Kendari City, Indonesia; and identifies feasible strategies for institutional integration through collaborative governance. A two-stage qualitative case study was employed. The first stage combined document review, field observation and interviews with 45 informants from government, legislative bodies, implementers, academics, civil society, business actors and community leaders to map the forms and consequences of fragmentation. The second stage used a two-round Delphi exercise with 10 experts to validate qualitative themes and prioritize integration strategies. The findings show that fragmentation operates through four interrelated layers: structural, procedural, informational and relational fragmentation. Expert consensus indicates that integration should prioritize clearer cross-sector coordinating authority, collaborative forums with binding follow-up, integrated data and shared indicators and facilitative leadership. The study contributes to urban governance scholarship by treating fragmentation as a multi-layer institutional condition rather than an administrative weakness. It further advances collaborative governance scholarship by conceptualizing institutionalized collaboration as a mechanism linking role clarity, shared information, binding follow-up and joint accountability. These findings imply that growing cities require collaboration embedded in institutional design, not limited to routine coordination.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the planning and optimize the management of the Education Allocation Fund at the Boalemo Regency Education and Culture Office in supporting improvements in the quality and equity of education services. This study employed a qualitative approach, grounded in a public policy perspective, using descriptive-evaluative methods. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of education planning and budgeting documents, with key informants from the local government and relevant stakeholders. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, complemented by data validity testing. The results indicate that the planning of the Education Allocation Fund in Boalemo Regency adheres to the regulatory framework and regional planning documents, but remains administrative in nature and is not entirely based on the performance and real needs of educational units. Optimization of education fund management is also suboptimal, particularly in the linkages between budget allocation, program implementation, and achievement of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) indicators. The study's conclusions confirm that increasing the effectiveness of education spending is not solely determined by budget size but is highly dependent on the quality of planning, management, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Optimizing the Education Allocation Fund requires strengthening data-based planning, performance-based budgeting, and integrated policy evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrated service mechanisms in strengthening child protection policies in Banda Aceh City and to identify the main challenges affecting policy effectiveness. Child protection remains a critical public policy issue in Indonesia, particularly in Banda Aceh where cases of violence against children continue to attract public concern. This research employs a qualitative design using a phenomenological and normative approach to examine both the legal framework and the experiences of key stakeholders involved in policy implementation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, members of the local parliament, non-governmental organizations, community leaders, and supporting institutions, complemented by document analysis. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a significant gap between policy design (“policy on paper”) and practical implementation (“policy in action”). Three major systemic problems were identified. First, structural failure is reflected in the absence of a specific municipal regulation governing child protection. Second, resource failure is evident in the limited availability of professional personnel within the UPTD PPA. Third, coordination failure leads to institutional fragmentation and weak inter-agency collaboration. Consequently, integrated child protection services remain largely symbolic and have not yet achieved optimal effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformative role of e-government in enhancing transparency in public service delivery in the era of digitization. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Scopus database from 2004 to 2024. Trend analysis and visualization techniques with RStudio software were applied to identify dominant research themes, influential authors, and leading institutions in the e-government and public service literature. The findings demonstrate that e-government substantially contributes to improving efficiency, accessibility, and transparency of public services by integrating digital technologies. Nevertheless, persistent challenges, including the digital divide and data security risks, continue to constrain effective implementation of e-government systems. Theoretically, this study highlights the need to integrate technological advances with social and economic dimensions to strengthen inclusive and sustainable public services. From a practical perspective, the research provides actionable insights for governments and policymakers in designing e-government strategies that are responsive to societal needs and technological innovations. Despite its contributions, this study is limited by including the limited scope of the literature reviewed and the retrospective nature of the analysis, which may limit relevance to future developments. Future research should incorporate broader data sources and examine emerging digital innovations to enhance the effectiveness of e-government initiatives.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS RBA) permitting services for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in North Gorontalo Regency and to formulate an implementation model that is adaptive to local conditions. This research employed a qualitative descriptive-analytical method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving policy implementers and MSME actors. The analytical framework was based on Edwards III’s policy implementation model, which emphasizes communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of OSS RBA has not yet been fully effective. Significant challenges include weak policy communication, limited human resources and digital infrastructure, insufficient technical capacity among implementers, and a bureaucratic structure that remains centralized and less responsive to the region's geographical and socio-economic characteristics. These conditions contribute to limited access, low understanding, and varying levels of acceptance among MSMEs toward digital-based licensing services. The study concludes that effective implementation of OSS RBA requires a locally context-based implementation model that integrates strengthened communication, capacity building for implementers, improved digital infrastructure, and a more inclusive bureaucratic structure involving sub-districts and villages. This adaptive model positions OSS RBA not only as an administrative instrument but also as a tool for MSME empowerment and local economic development.

Abstract

This study examines why poverty alleviation policies in rural Indonesia may remain administratively operational while producing limited justice-sensitive outcomes for the least advantaged. Rather than claiming that justice is absent from implementation research, the article argues that justice is insufficiently operationalized as a standard for assessing who benefits, who is excluded, and how allocation decisions are made. It develops a justice-sensitive implementation framework that integrates administrative implementation analysis with Rawlsian principles of fair equality of opportunity and the difference principle. Using an interpretive qualitative case study in Sikka Regency, Nusa Tenggara Timur, the research draws on interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that limited justice-sensitive implementation emerges through the interaction of fragmented coordination, unreliable poverty data, weak institutional follow-through, targeting errors, uneven procedural accessibility, symbolic participation, patronage, and rural territorial constraints. The study contributes by distinguishing administrative activity from justice-sensitive implementation and by showing how technical weaknesses in data, coordination, and participation can become mechanisms through which distributive and procedural injustice is reproduced. The findings should be interpreted analytically rather than statistically, given the single-case qualitative design.

Abstract

Tourism is a strategic sector in supporting sustainable development and economic recovery. Kutai Kartanegara possesses significant potential in natural, cultural, and artificial attractions; however, its contribution to increasing tourist visits has not yet been optimized. The main issue lies in the suboptimal tourism marketing strategies, particularly in the utilization of digital technology and the strengthening of local wisdom as a destination identity. This condition has created a gap between potential and actual tourism development, especially across three strategic zones: the Central Zone, the Highland Zone, and the Coastal Zone. This study aims to analyze Digital Technology-Based and Local Wisdom-Oriented Tourism Marketing Strategies in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The research employed a qualitative case study design, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that Kutai Kartanegara has substantial potential for developing culture-based digital tourism through policy support and diverse attractions. However, challenges persist in digital infrastructure, technological literacy, and the risk of cultural commodification. Opportunities remain open through the growing trend of experience-based tourism and the region’s strategic position near the new national capital (IKN), which can strengthen destination branding and regional competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to compare tourism development in Thailand and Indonesia by analysing budgeting policies and governance arrangements across five dimensions: the role of universities, institutional design, governance model, budgetary policy, and development strategy. This issue is of particular significance, as budgeting policies constitute a pivotal instrument in reconciling macroeconomic stability with sectoral development; nevertheless, their implications for the tourism sector remain insufficiently examined within the comparative research literature. Using a comparative case study approach, this study employs thematic analysis of policy documents and qualitative interviews to generate in-depth insights. The findings demonstrate that tourism outcomes are shaped by budgetary orientation. This study advances comparative public policy scholarship by demonstrating how fiscal design enables or constrains sectoral governance capacity. In the case of Indonesia, a strong emphasis on macro-fiscal discipline engenders fragmented tourism financing structures alongside an adaptive Pentahelix model, wherein universities function as network mobilisers within a predominantly bottom-up strategic framework. In contrast, Thailand reflects a more institutionalised and state-led configuration, characterised by stable and protected tourism budgets anchored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), with universities integrated as innovation nodes within a top-down, investment-driven paradigm. Overall, the study underscores budgeting policy as a critical determinant in shaping tourism governance configurations and development trajectories.
