Abstract

Most studies have concentrated on the impacts of Covid-19 on socio-economic development. Despite this focus, there remains a significant gap in the literature, with limited exploration into how the Covid-19 pandemic has presented substantial challenges in rural South Africa, particularly concerning healthcare access, and how it has hindered progress towards the achievement of sustainable development goal 3 outlined in Agenda 2030. This paper seeks to analyse the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, which have created obstacles in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of Agenda 2030, specifically goal 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all individuals across all age groups. The paper contends that the Covid-19 pandemic has presented formidable hurdles that have impeded healthcare access and advancement in numerous rural communities in South Africa. Currently, many rural regions appear to be falling behind in their efforts to guarantee healthy lives and improve societal well-being, as outlined in SDG 3 of Agenda 2030 and Sections 24 and 27 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996). This paper is primarily theoretical, drawing extensively from an examination of existing literature to establish its arguments, supported by a desk-based study that reinforces its position. The paper reveals that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected South Africa’s interim strategy to accomplish SDG 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all individuals by 2030, by necessitating a duplication of its budget and a reallocation of resources towards healthcare-related initiatives. In conclusion, the paper asserts that achieving universal good health and well-being (SDG 3) by 2030 is currently unfeasible and speculative for rural South Africa, given the country’s considerable distance to cover and numerous socio-economic challenges that are impeding progress. This paper recommends early strategic planning and innovative approaches from both public and private stakeholders to advance good health and well-being for all, thereby realising the objectives of SDG 3 of Agenda 2030.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the how complexity affects local government in South Africa. Local government is the closest sphere to the local people in South Africa. This sphere of government is charged with the responsibility of providing goods and services to the public. However, local governments in South Africa are glued to complexity that produce ineffectiveness and inefficiency in terms of providing goods and services to the local communities. This paper relies on an assertion by Prof. Nghamula Nkuna, who refers complexity within local government as a situation where people or stakeholders do not confine themselves to a single site, nor do they always engage others in the same manner. He further states that the manner in which the ward public officials of a local municipality chair the ward committee meeting is different from the way he or she reports to the local traditional leader, and interactions vary as obligations and roles shift depending on the situation. For example, most councillors elected to local government are also employed as teachers, and they are also serving in other community structures. The findings indicate that the complexity within local government create multiple challenges, such as ineffective decision-making, slow implementation of policies, policy fragmentation and inconsistency, and strained relationships and collaboration. The paper is purely qualitative, which adopts literature-based methodology. It concludes that local government, where most public officials hold one position, do well in terms of delivering services because there is no conflict of interest. This paper recommends that local government should enforce a single-site duty towards public officials so that they engage others in the same manner to circumvent challenges created by the complexity within local government.

Abstract

This work investigated the dangal (dignity) of barangay workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The study aimed to know what is dangal for barangay workers during the pandemic, what factors enhanced and limited their dangal, and how can their dangal be promoted. This research is significant due to lack of studies about the personnel serving in barangays - the smallest local government unit in the country. Barangay officials, employees, and volunteers were interviewed, and their responses were evaluated based on themes. Analysis of data revealed that barangay workers had to face several risks and challenges amid their longing to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as public servants. They employed various coping mechanisms although such were insufficient to adequately promote their dignity. Dangal for barangay workers has external and internal domains. The external domain is comprised of their physiological needs and social identity. In the internal domain, dangal is affected by self-fulfillment in performing duties and responsibilities, especially through pakikipagkapwa or the provision of services and assistance to community members. To promote the barangay worker’s dangal; national, provincial, city, and municipal policies must be implemented. For the external domain, remuneration, compensation, benefits, and recognition must be provided. For the internal domain, it is critical that they thrive in an environment that discourages corruption and support actions that reflect honor, excellence, and integrity.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the public value contained in the social piety dimension of Wayang Wali culture, as a driving instrument for policy development of the capacity of cultural communities and the people of Blitar. The data collection method used in this research is a qualitative study with unstructured observation and documentation study. The data were analysed using componential techniques to find the interrelationship of values contained within the scope of the research object. We found that there are elements of social piety in Wayang Wali culture as a public value in the community, and can be used as a driving value for cultural and community capacity development. The government or relevant authorities can make Wayang Wali culture an instrument of social development and capacity building of cultural communities and society as a local identity.

Abstract

Public aspirations are essential in policy formulation in an ideal political system. Especially at the village level in Indonesia, many researchers argue that with the implementation of village funds, the implementation of participation at the village level can better capture public aspirations. However, in reality, efforts to absorb public aspirations in a participatory manner experience many obstacles. One important suspicion is that this public space may not be a comfortable and safe public space for people to express their aspirations. By using a mix method, this research explores alternative explanations based on empirical data that people tend to use their own social space as a safe and comfortable space for aspirations.

Abstract

Regional development disparities between metropolitan and rural areas in West Java are intensifying, particularly impacting Southern West Java (SWJ) despite its significant tourism potential, meanwhile, the Western (WWJ), Central (CWJ), and Northern (NWJ) regions of West Java have experienced rapid progress. This study aims to evaluate regional planning policies for integrated tourism development through the "GURILAPS" (Gunung, Rimba, Laut, Pantai, Seni & Budaya) Framework — Mountains, Jungle, Ocean, Water, Beaches, Arts & Culture. The methodology employs a QUAN → qual design, analyzing built-up area expansion data (2010-2024) from BPS through ANOVA and trend analysis, followed by thematic analysis of stakeholder sources and 28 policy documents. Quantitative findings reveal significant disparities: WWJ, CWJ, and NWJ experienced 21.4% built-up area growth (2010-2024), while SWJ achieved only 11.8% (F(5,21) = 24.67, p < 0.001, η² = 0.855). Qualitative findings identified four themes: infrastructure connectivity gaps, institutional coordination limitations, community tourism readiness challenges, and policy implementation gaps. The validated "GURILAPS" Framework (Content Validity Index: 0.89, Inter-rater Agreement: Kappa = 0.82) provides a systematic approach to leveraging SWJ's natural and cultural assets while addressing infrastructure gaps and promoting rural economic growth. This research contributes theoretically through the validated "GURILAPS" Framework and methodologically by applying sequential explanatory mixed methods in tourism policy evaluation. Theoretical implications include the GURILAPS Framework, mixed methods innovation, and regional development theory advancement. Practical implications provide actionable evidence for policymakers, adaptable to other regions with similar characteristics, and applicable to developing countries facing comparable challenges.

Abstract

This study discusses the failure of public services in the implementation of non-quota Hajj (Furoda Hajj) in 2025 in Indonesia using an administrative analysis approach. The case of Haji Furoda 2025 reflects the dysfunction of the service, ranging from weak verification, lack of supervision by PIHK, to unclear rules in handling violations. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach to provide an in-depth overview of the studied phenomenon. The Data Collection Technique through In-Depth Interviews was carried out in a semi-structured manner, including the affected Furoda Hajj pilgrims, PIHK Leaders, DPD Chairmen, and literature in the public policy and state administration. Data Analysis Technique: The data obtained is analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model interactive analysis technique. The results of the study show that the failure in the case of Haji Furoda stemmed from the failure of public services not only due to technical errors, but also due to institutions that were unable to manage, coordinate, and adapt. The implementation of non-quota hajj faces various administrative problems that are not accountable and unresponsive. Institutional failure can be seen in the inability to ensure accountability and successful outcomes. The data discrepancy between PIHK and the Hajj authorities shows weak public information management. In addition, poor inter-agency coordination and low administrative resilience make the bureaucracy fail to anticipate emergencies. Regulatory ambiguity and weak law enforcement further worsen the situation, opening up space for abuse of authority. This study recommends the need for governance reform of the implementation of non-quota hajj through clearer regulations, strict audit mechanisms, cross-agency data integration, empowerment of frontline workers, and service design oriented to the needs of pilgrims. This effort is important so that non-quota hajj services in the future are more transparent, accountable, and able to provide stronger protection for pilgrims.

Abstract

Subsidising fuel and other essential commodities that are unaffordable for the poor and disadvantaged is a component of social security and welfare policies in many countries. However, these subsidies come at a significant cost, consuming a large portion of budgets intended for infrastructure development. This has sparked debates about the feasibility of maintaining subsidies or abolishing them. Nigeria, one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world, has subsidised fuel for many decades to ensure affordability. However, allegations of corruption and concerns about the opportunity costs of subsidising fuel have raised issues, while projections of severe hardship following subsidy removal continue to warn policymakers. This study therefore examines the implications of subsidy removal in 2023 on the socioeconomic status of residents in Northeast Nigeria. Data were collected through multi-level cluster sampling using structured questionnaires and in-depth informant interviews with unstructured questionnaires, in addition to consulting existing documents. The collected data were discussed, analysed, and interpreted using statistical tools in non-automated SPSS and qualitative interview discussions. The study found that subsidy removal caused severe suffering and unprecedented hardship for the inhabitants of the Northeast. Therefore, the study recommends, among other measures, that the government should revise its haphazard subsidy removal and intensify social security transfers to the poor.

Abstract

This study analyzes inclusion policies that ensure the political rights of persons with disabilities, using a Palopo City case study. It uses qualitative research and a case study approach to examine policy implementation from a social inclusion perspective. Data were collected from November 2024 to May 2025 using observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants included election organizers, disability communities, and voters with various disabilities in Palopo City, selected through purposive sampling for their relevance and experience with inclusion policies. The results show that inclusive election policies have been formally adopted. However, there are specific implementation gaps. These include limited physical access to polling stations, incomplete outreach and education for voters with visual and hearing impairments, and restricted involvement of disability communities. Their involvement is limited to just the socialization stage, with no role in planning or evaluation. These findings reinforce social inclusion theory. They underscore the need for a multidimensional approach that covers participation and relationships. This study strongly recommends strengthening synergy among policies, institutions, and the social environment. Effective cross-sectoral coordination among the General Election Commission, local government, and organizations of persons with disabilities is crucial for inclusive elections. This research advances inclusion theory and participatory policy. It highlights the critical importance of a multidimensional approach to creating inclusive, equitable policies.
