Abstract

Digital-based public services have an essential urgency in increasing efficiency, accessibility, transparency, and responsiveness of services to the public. This allows for significant improvements in governance. This research aims to analyze the implementation of services by local governments, especially at the One Stop Integrated Services Investment Service (DPMPTSP) of Rokan Hilir Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach using Online Research Methods (ORMs) as a data collection method. ORMs utilize the internet and other digital technologies to collect data and information. In this research, ORMs include data collection from official government websites. The analysis tool that is maximized is Nvivo 12 Plus. This research shows that implementing website-based digital public services faces obstacles and challenges that need to be overcome. Limited internet access, technology gaps, concerns regarding security and privacy, and limited resources are the primary concerns. However, the government can overcome these obstacles by investing in internet infrastructure, digital literacy programs, and collaboration with the private sector. Integrating digital public services can increase the efficiency, accessibility, transparency, and accountability of public services and build public trust in the government. In facing this challenge, the government needs to take appropriate policy steps to ensure the success and sustainability of inclusive and sustainable digital public services.

Abstract

Baduy are attached to the forest, and the environment depends on forest management. On the other hand, the role and involvement of Baduy women are no less important in forest management to encourage food security for them and their families. This research uses the theory of gender equality; it aims to capture the gender gap in forest management through social forestry programs in the Baduy community to encourage food security. By using a qualitative descriptive method, this research seeks to let reality reveal itself naturally. The study results show that gender inequality still exists in managing social forestry in the Baduy community. This gender inequality can be seen in the minimum absence of access for Baduy women involved in social forestry management. The domestic role of Baduy women dominates in food security efforts through social forestry, but the public role of Baduy women farmers is almost nonexistent. Women's control over social forestry is also limited to the domestic role in the household. In contrast, control in forestry is held by male farmers, with all decisions in the hands of men, making it difficult for women to be present and actively involved. However, this social forestry benefits both male and female farmers, whereas women obtain these benefits indirectly through their husbands, who are actively involved as managers of social forestry.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on all sectors, especially the economy in Indonesia and the regions, one of which includes Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Data from the DIY Cooperatives and UMKM Service shows that 59% of MSMEs have experienced the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the other hand MSMEs have a very strategic role in improving the Indonesian economy. Kulon Progo Regency is one of the districts that has a solution to overcome the problem of marketing MSME products, one of which is belabeliku.com. Having this solution does not mean there are no problems, because there are many MSMEs in Kulon Progo Regency who do not understand digital literacy well. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, one of the techniques is interviews and documentation, besides that this research also utilizes the artificial intelligent Nvivo 12 plus as an analytical tool. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the government has made a special policy by providing training for MSME actors, collaborating with the Yogyakarta Regional Development Bank (BPD) in providing electronic payment services, and creating a marketplace platform. With the policies that have been made, it will be very helpful for MSME actors, especially the platform creation policy in marketing MSME products. However, the platform created is not adequate and optimal, besides that the platform created is still unable to compete with other marketplace applications.

Abstract

The study highlights the significance of understanding the impact of digitalization on public services in local government organizations, particularly about coordination strategy and digitalization policy. The rapid advancements in information technology have transformed the delivery and acquisition of public services, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the efficiency of digital services.  A quantitative approach was used, with Smart-PLS 3.0 analysis involving respondents from South Buton Regency local government organizations. Data collection was conducted through a direct survey in the field. The results showed a strong relationship between coordination, strategy, and digitalization policy, with a significant relationship between these factors and the effectiveness of digital services. However, no significant relationship between digitalization policy and digital service effectiveness was found. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the dynamics of interoperability governance and the nuanced relationships between coordination, strategy, digitization policy, and digital service effectiveness in local government organizations. Despite the significant influence of coordination and strategy, the role of digitalization policy on digital service effectiveness suggests the need for further evaluation or a change in policy approach. Limitations of this study include the small sample size and focus on one geographical area, so caution is needed in generalizing the findings. Nevertheless, this study contributes significantly to understanding the implementation of digitization in public services, with practical implications for policy development and management practices.

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the practice of Pork Barrel Politics in the Free Electricity Program implemented by the Aceh Jaya local Government in 2014-2017. Providing free electricity is a flagship program spearheaded by the Regent of Aceh Jaya who is also the elite of the Aceh Party (PA) for underprivileged communities. The free electricity program has become a campaign tool and strategy for the local legislative representative incumbents who want to regain control of the Local House of Representatives in the 2014 Legislative Election. We took a qualitative approach using the case study method. Data collection used was through interviews, observation and documentation. The results of the research show that the implementation of the free electricity program assistance in Aceh Jaya was characterized by pork barrel political practices, where recipients of free electricity program in 2014-2017 were prioritized to people who were the Aceh Party members and supporters, the winning party in the 2014 Legislative Election. Pigs are inseparable from the participation of the Aceh Party elite who sit in executive positions and are supported by the dominance of Aceh Jaya DPRK members from the Aceh Party faction.

Abstract

In contemporary society, the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies has become integral to meeting daily needs. E-Government leverages these technologies to deliver efficient and secure services to citizens, particularly at the local government level. However, existing literature lacks comprehensive exploration into citizen preferences for utilizing e-government services, especially those offered by local governments. Addressing this gap, this study investigates citizen intentions to use e-government, focusing on the application system provided by local governments. Our research framework integrates three established models (UTAUT, TAM, and TPB) and employs empirical validation through a structured questionnaire. Data collection involved 97 respondents from diverse cities/regencies. Rigorous reliability and validity assessments were conducted on the questionnaire, with analysis performed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings underscore the significant influence of citizens' attitudes toward e-government, shaped by factors such as effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and perceived risk. Furthermore, a positive and significant relationship between attitude and Intention to use revealed. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of citizen behavior towards e-government services, offering insights crucial for enhancing service delivery and citizen engagement at the local level.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze co-production practices in waste management through the Waste Bank and Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle Waste Management Area (TPS 3R) in Semarang City on the grounds that Semarang City is the largest waste generate in Central Java Province. Qualitative descriptive was used as a method with data collection techniques using interviews with 11 informants, documentation and observation. Community-based waste management practices are analyzed using the concept of co-production. The findings of this research are that co-production in waste management is motivated by environmental problems, the lack of waste services and government encouragement. Resource sharing occurs between communities, government and Non Government Organizations (NGOs) although the quality of relationships needs to be improved. Waste banks and 3R TPS apart from providing services to residents, is also able to enter "spaces" that the government cannot reach through reducing waste, educating citizens and as a data collector for the government.
