Abstract

Waste management in Tasikmalaya City still faces serious challenges, especially in urban centers, and has not yet shown optimal effectiveness as part of public services. This problem encompasses the entire management chain, from collection and transportation to final processing. A comprehensive literature study identified significant weaknesses in public service management as the root cause. Although efforts have been made, the results indicate that the existing system has not been able to meet public expectations for a clean and healthy environment. The limited availability of infrastructure is one of the main obstacles to effective waste management. The lack of adequate infrastructure and waste management facilities, such as representative temporary waste disposal sites (TPS), sufficient transport fleets, and modern waste processing technology, significantly hinders the process. Furthermore, weak coordination among related agencies exacerbates the situation, leading to overlapping authorities and a lack of synergy in policy implementation. These factors collectively contribute to the ineffective waste handling in Tasikmalaya City. On the other hand, low public awareness and active participation are also significant impediments. The lack of widespread and continuous socialization regarding the importance of waste sorting at the source, collection schedules, and the negative impact of waste on the environment makes people reluctant to get involved. This is evident from the still prevalent practice of people littering or not sorting their waste, adding to the burden on an already limited management system. Increasing public awareness is key to creating a cleaner environment. To overcome these problems, fundamental reforms in public service management within Tasikmalaya City's waste management sector are urgently needed. This includes strengthening human resource capacity, reinforcing regulations and stricter law enforcement, and more innovative strategies to increase public participation and awareness. With a combination of these efforts, it is hoped that a more sustainable, effective waste management system can be created, capable of providing optimal services to the community, thereby making Tasikmalaya a clean and comfortable city.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Free Nutritious Food (FNF) policy from a political economy perspective and evaluates its impact on community welfare, using a case study at Junior High School 1 Cikalongkulon. Grounded in Grindle’s (2017) theory of resource distribution, the study conceptualizes public policy not merely as a technical solution but as a product of negotiation among actors with differing interests and power dynamics. Employing a qualitative approach through literature review and field observation, the research investigates the formulation and implementation of the FNF policy in a rural context characterized by logistical constraints and socio-economic vulnerabilities. The findings reveal that the program contributes to improved student attendance, enhanced nutritional status, and reduced household food-related expenditures. However, persistent challenges include limited institutional coordination, inadequate cultural adaptation, and fiscal sustainability concerns. The study recommends an inclusive and participatory policy design, gender-sensitive evaluation frameworks, and robust monitoring mechanisms to ensure effective and equitable long-term implementation of school feeding initiatives. These findings provide critical insights for enhancing policy responsiveness and advancing social welfare in underserved regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the SIMPATI application as a digital innovation for stunting prevention in Sumedang Regency using a qualitative case study approach. The evaluation adopts Wirawan’s policy evaluation framework, covering three key dimensions: process, benefit, and impact. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory field observations, and documentation involving health workers, posyandu cadres, mothers of toddlers, and local government officials. The findings show that SIMPATI contributes positively to real-time child nutrition monitoring, increases mothers’ participation in posyandu, and improves the accuracy and speed of data recording and service delivery. From a process perspective, SIMPATI supports better coordination among stakeholders despite infrastructure and digital literacy challenges. From a benefit perspective, it facilitates health awareness, improves user experience, and enhances data access. From an impact perspective, the program has led to increased maternal engagement and a decline in the number of children at risk of stunting over six months. However, issues such as limited infrastructure and human resource readiness remain obstacles to long-term sustainability. The study recommends enhancing digital infrastructure, conducting regular training, and strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure the successful scaling of SIMPATI as a national stunting prevention model.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamic of digital transformation in public service delivery, focusing on how technological advancements reshape public policy formulation. The objectives are to analyse the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligent, and electronic based government system in fostering more inclusive, efficient, and responsive public services. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on secondary data, the research examines the shift from a traditional bureaucratic model to a participatory and citizen-centred public service paradigm aligned with the principles of the new public services. The findings indicate that digital platforms empower citizens to engage in policy discourse, while big data analytics offer valuable insights into public needs and behaviours. However, this study highlights critical challenges, including privacy concerns, misinformation, and digital inequality. The implementation of SPBE demonstrates the potential for real-time, location-independent service delivery, yet requires adequate infrastructure and data governance frameworks. The research recommends that policymakers invest in robust digital ecosystems, enhancing data security, and promote digital literacy to maximize the benefits of transformation. Overall, the study concludes that digital innovation, if managed inclusively and ethically, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of public service and governance in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and apply a three pillar analytical framework comprising institutional integration, technological innovation, and public participation to assess Indonesia’s Total Defense System (Sishankamrata) as a strategic response to non military threats. Employing a qualitative literature review of peer reviewed articles, policy documents, and official TNI communiqués from 2018–2025, the research systematically codes and refines themes across civil military coordination, technological readiness, and community engagement. Findings reveal that while Sishankamrata is formally embedded in national defense policy, its implementation is constrained by limited public awareness, fragmented inter agency mechanisms, and underdeveloped cyber capabilities. To bridge these gaps, the study recommends enacting clear legal frameworks for inter agency coordination, establishing integrated funding streams for joint task forces, expanding cyber resilience training for both military and civilian stakeholders, and launching nationwide public outreach campaigns to foster shared ownership of national defense. This adaptive, inclusive model equips policymakers and practitioners with actionable pathways to strengthen Indonesia’s resilience against cyberattacks, disinformation, pandemics, and economic disruption within a comprehensive Total Defense readiness paradigm.

Abstract

Digitalization today has a significant impact on improving workforce competency standards. One aspect is the mastery and utilization of technology, which is now a benchmark for job providers in the recruitment process. Indonesia also faces the challenge of the demographic bonus phenomenon, where the number of productive workers increases but quality remains inadequate. Unlike previous studies that focused more on evaluating education as a factor shaping human resources, this study examines the relationship between the demographic bonus phenomenon and professional revolution as well as reasons behind low-quality human resources in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to provide solutions for human resource readiness in facing challenges posed by both demographic bonuses and professional revolutions in Indonesia. The researcher used a Systematic Literature Review Method by analyzing 36 Scopus and Sinta accredited journal articles sourced from Scopus and Google Scholar metadata through Publish or Perish (PoP). The results show two main problems: first, low quality of Indonesian human resources indicated by poor thinking skills; second, ineffectiveness of vocational high school education in producing competent workers due to their inability to optimize relationships with industries or employers. To overcome these problems, it is suggested to optimize STEAM learning and revitalize vocational schools while changing study duration to five years for Diploma II equivalent graduates like Thailand's vocational education system.

Abstract

This study aims to describe, analyze, and interpret the implementation of food security policies and strategies in Indonesia using the Mentality, System, and Networking (MSN) approach. The research employs a descriptive method, which is used to understand or depict the reality of the events under investigation. The focus of this study is directed toward three main approaches: the mentality approach, system approach, and networking approach. The researchers chose these three approaches because a public policy will become actual and directed in its implementation if it uses or considers the MSN-Approach Model The conclusions drawn from this study encompass three aspects: Mentality Approach: The attitudes, behaviors, and responsibilities of officials have demonstrated a caring attitude. The state has consistently committed to placing the food economy as something very important and strategic. The government's concern is also seen from Indonesia's participation in global food security development initiatives. System Approach: There are clear and explicit regulations regarding the government's obligations to realize food security. Law No. 18 of 2012 serves as evidence of the government's responsibility and seriousness in achieving food security. Networking Approach: This approach has been well implemented, as evidenced by the strengthening of food distribution infrastructure across Indonesia. Given the complexity of geographical challenges and uneven food distribution, the government has established collaborations and synergies with regional governments to build new markets and expand logistics networks connecting food production centers with consumer areas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and explain as well as identify obstacles in the supervision of prevention of narcotics distribution in Bengkalis Class IIA Penitentiary. In this study, an empirical juridical approach is applied which remains based on normative premises where the operational definition is taken from laws and regulations to then look at the reality on the ground. Primary data were obtained from observations and interviews with leaders, officers and prisoners of Class IIA Bengkalis Penitentiary. Secondary data was obtained from documentation owned by the Bengkalis Class IIA Penitentiary and from literature studies.The conclusion of the study is that supervision in preventing drug trafficking in the Bengkalis Class IIA Penitentiary has followed the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) in the Decree of the Director General of Corrections of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number: PAS-416.PK.01.04.01. 2015 and Decree of the Director General of Corrections of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number: PAS-36.OT.02.02 of 2020. The results of the evaluation show that there are several obstacles in supervision, such as: Executing Officers do not yet have the ability to identify types of narcotics and do not have standard expertise as self-reliance coaches; There is no x-ray sensor device for inspection of objects that are prohibited from entering and objects attached to the body; Minimal training facilities and infrastructure.

Abstract

Fiscal, administrative and political devolution from the center to lower levels of government has been widely advocated in both developed and developing countries. Fiscal decentralization implies more informed and more specific public local policies. Because fiscal decentralization can lead to more efficient provision of services and public goods to citizens and promote a better match between local government policies and citizens' needs. This study aims to compare the development of fiscal decentralization in South Korea and Indonesia. In OECD countries, one of which is South Korea, local governments spend more on housing and community development, the environment, culture, recreation and education. Meanwhile in Indonesia, personnel expenditure has the largest portion compared to other types of expenditure. So that the use of regional funds is still not optimal for improving the quality of life of the community.

Abstract

Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) is a government administration that utilizes information and communication technology to provide services to SPBE users. The implementation of SPBE depends on the interoperability process used between agencies. Given the importance of the interoperability principle that must be owned by every SPBE architecture, the Government should promulgate laws related to interoperability. BAPENDA Pekanbaru City as an agency authorized to collect district / city local taxes in Pekanbaru City continues to make innovations to provide convenience and improve services for taxpayers (WP). The innovation carried out by BAPENDA Pekanbaru City is the provision of integrated services in accordance with Government Regulation Number 12 of 2019 concerning Regional Financial Management by Implementing an Electronic-Based Government System. Referring to the regulation, SPBE produces Electronification of Local Government Transactions (ETPD) through the Smart Tax Pekanbaru Application can only be used to pay restaurant tax, entertainment tax, hotel tax, and parking tax. This research method uses a qualitative method, with informants obtained by purposive sampling technique. From the research results, it was found that there are still obstacles to the use of smartphones in gaining access to the application due to server licensing, and software management.
