Abstract

This study examines why flood control efforts in Greater Jakarta consistently underperform despite substantial investments and formal coordination mechanisms. Focusing on the Ciliwung, Cikeas, and Cisadane watersheds, it assesses an integrated governance approach framed as "One River, One Planning, One Integrated Management." The study analyzes survey data from 350 residents across seven flood-affected areas using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, with coordination capacity, policy integration, and flood governance effectiveness measured through Likert-scale indicators and tested via hierarchical regression and mediation analysis. The quantitative results show that coordination capacity is positively associated with perceived flood governance effectiveness, but its effect declines when policy integration is introduced, indicating a strong mediating role of integration. To explain these patterns, the qualitative phase draws on interviews with environmental agency leadership, a multi-stakeholder focus group discussion, field observations, and policy document review, analyzed through NVivo thematic coding. Five mechanisms consistently explain the integration gap: mandate overlap and organizational silos, spatial planning misalignment, financing and operations–maintenance discontinuities, weak enforcement combined with risk-amplifying public behaviors, and limited interoperability of data and early warning systems.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of Singosari residents' resistance to the Singhasari Special Economic Zone (SEZ) project, focusing on the discursive mechanisms that construct meanings of exploitation, local identity, and ecological injustice. The researcher used Van Dijk's theory-based Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) that integrates text triangulation, social cognition, and context. The primary data consisted of protest banners from residents and narratives from community leaders, including Ki Ardhi Purbo Antono and Fatkul Ulum (Gus Ulum), while supporting data were obtained from international literature on environmental injustice and the failure of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The results show that the narrative "SEZ = Capitalism Exploiting the Area" and the Javanese-language banners and the identity of Islamic boarding school students (santri) function as tools for deconstructing the discourse of state development. The discursive mechanisms were identified through the construction of binary oppositions (business district vs. Islamic boarding school, people vs. capital), the framing of structural injustice and environmental injustice, and the formation of collective consciousness through critical cognition of policy. These findings confirm that CDA effectively exposes the structural injustices hidden within the discourse of "rapid economic growth" and emphasizes the need for inclusive, participatory development that is oriented toward environmental sustainability and social justice.

Abstract

Indonesia faces a clear gap between its deterrence doctrine and the institutional capacity required to execute it within the Total People’s Defense and Security System known as Sishankamrata. The doctrine is comprehensive, yet systematic evaluation of how its core elements operate as an integrated deterrence system remains limited. These elements include ideological, political, economic, socio cultural, and defense security dimensions. This study examines Indonesia’s deterrence strategy through the Sishankamrata framework and assesses how it shapes national deterrence capacity against complex and evolving threats. The study applies a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection took place from January to October 2025. Primary data consist of official doctrinal documents from the Ministry of Defense, national defense white papers, and strategic policy statements. Secondary data include peer reviewed journals and comparative studies of total defense systems implemented in Nordic states. Data analysis uses thematic mapping and interpretive document review. Validity is maintained through document triangulation and cross checking between official and academic sources. The findings show that Sishankamrata provides a coherent deterrence structure that integrates physical strength, moral resilience, and non conventional capabilities. However, several constraints remain. Coordination across sectors is not yet optimal. Institutional readiness varies. Public understanding of defense is still limited. Strategic communication lacks consistency and impact. The study concludes that Indonesia’s deterrence effectiveness depends not only on doctrine but on consistent institutional reform, active public participation, and credible strategic signaling across all sectors of national life.

Abstract

Rumah Susun Sederhana Sewa (Rusunawa) is a major public housing program for low-income communities in Jakarta. However, the accumulation of rent arrears—reaching IDR 95.5 billion between 2010 and 2025—raises critical concerns about its ability to ensure housing affordability. This study adopts a qualitative approach using secondary data with two main objectives: first, to assess housing affordability from a residual income perspective as experienced by residents, considering not only housing costs but also post-occupancy costs and broader housing attributes; and second, to examine whether persistent rent arrears reflect structural affordability constraints and, consequently, a form of policy failure. The findings show that low rental prices do not guarantee affordability. Rent-setting mechanisms fail to account for income instability and socioeconomic heterogeneity, while post-occupancy stress—arising from livelihood disruption and increased transportation costs—further erodes residents’ residual income. As a result, persistent rent arrears reflect structural affordability constraints rather than tenant non-compliance, highlighting a misalignment between policy design and residents’ lived economic realities. These findings suggest the need for differentiated rent-setting mechanisms based on household characteristics, alongside strengthened housing pathway support to facilitate transitions into private rental housing or homeownership.
