Abstract

In an era where effective governance demands more than administrative acumen, this study investigates the pivotal role of phronetic leadership in fostering ethical and moral standards among elected local government officials in Zambales, Philippines. Phronetic leadership emerged as a crucial paradigm, emphasizing the cultivation of practical wisdom in decision-making processes. This study explored the relationship between phronetic leadership and public values among elected local government officials in Zambales, Philippines, to enhance ethical and moral standards in governance. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design with 156 respondents, the researchers used a structured questionnaire to analyze phronetic leadership and public values among local government officials. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data using SPSS 29. Findings revealed that elected local government officials consistently practice creating shared context, communicating the essence and equity and fairness, while grasping the essence, exercising political power, and fostering political wisdom; they also face challenges in maintaining moral clarity under pressure and in promoting structural equity. Although public values such as justice and service orientation were strongly upheld in practice, weak correlations were found between individual phronetic leadership traits and specific governance outcomes. The analysis showed that leadership traits alone did not strongly influence public values in governance. This means that a more complete approach to governance is needed. This approach should focus on ethical leadership but also include support from institutions, citizen involvement, and the ability to respond to complex social and political issues.

Abstract

Efforts to preserve forests while improving community welfare have been undertaken by the Government through the Social Forestry Program. Community Forestry (Hutan Kemasyarakatan, or HKm) is one of the schemes established under this program. HKm is considered a breakthrough in increasing community participation in forest management. However, this view has also faced challenges from various parties, as the participation carried out so far has been superficial. This study aims to identify and explore the tendencies of actors' perceptions regarding participation in HKm and its influence on program realization and inter-actor relationships. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews. This study finds that all stakeholders consider public participation in the HKm program important. However, Village Governments and Field Facilitators argue that the level of public involvement is highly influenced by the human resource capacity and personal orientation of the field implementers themselves.

Abstract

Development is not only understood as a process of economic growth and physical infrastructure expansion, but also as a political and social process shaped by power relations among various actors within society. This article aims to analyze the structure of elite power in the dynamics of local development politics and its implications for development policy and social change in Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytical design through a literature review of various academic sources related to political elites, local power structures, and development politics. The analysis applies elite theory to explain how elite groups occupy dominant positions in public decision making processes and control the distribution of development resources. The findings indicate that local power structures are formed through interactions among political elites, government bureaucracy, economic actors, and community leaders who develop both formal and informal power networks, such as political patronage and patron client relationships. These conditions often lead to the phenomenon of elite capture, which can influence development policies and potentially reinforce social inequality. Therefore, more inclusive and participatory development policies are necessary to promote fair and sustainable social change in society

Abstract

The simultaneous 2024 Regional Election (Pilkada) in North Sulawesi faced complex challenges of accountability, transparency, and integrity across an archipelagic region with 15 regencies/cities where 320 violation reports were recorded. This study aims to analyze the tripartite collaboration model among TVRI North Sulawesi, KPU North Sulawesi Province, and Bawaslu North Sulawesi Province in strengthening accountability of the 2024 Pilkada. A qualitative case study approach was employed using Emerson and Nabatchi’s (2015) Collaborative Governance Regime (CGR) framework and Rhodes’s (1997) Policy Network Theory, conducted during August–December 2024 through in-depth interviews with key informants and documentation review, with data analysis following Miles and Huberman’s interactive model and triangulation for validity. Results show that tripartite collaboration functioned effectively despite the absence of a formal legal framework, anchored in resource interdependence awareness, internalized democratic culture, mutual trust, and commitment to shared goals, with a triangular interdependence pattern creating intrinsic incentives for collaboration that produced a voter participation rate of 76.8%, surpassing the national average. It is concluded that a flexible institutionalization approach combining informal flexibility with selective formalization in critical aspects is needed to ensure collaboration sustainability in future elections, while contributing a triangular interdependence model to the collaborative governance literature in the Indonesian context

Abstract

The housing assistance program is a government program aimed at repairing uninhabitable houses. This program aims to improve the welfare of the poor. The assumption is that with the availability of livable housing, the poor can concentrate more on earning a living for their families. Poverty Severity data released by the North Sulawesi Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2024 shows that Minahasa Regency is at the top with a figure of 0.41%, followed by Talaud Islands Regency at 0.28% and Bitung City at 0.25%. In 2018, the Minahasa Regency government issued a policy on housing assistance through Regent Regulation Number 22 of 2018. However, in reality, this policy was only implemented in 2023. In the following year and until 2025, housing assistance was no longer implemented. This policy turned out to be direct assistance from the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs in that year. Field observations revealed that this program was highly beneficial for the recipients, effectively targeting them, and operating as expected. This means that families who previously lacked adequate housing were finally able to own homes through this program. The reality on the ground is that many extremely poor families in Minahasa Regency are still in dire need of their own, decent homes. Therefore, the government is strongly encouraged to continue this affordable housing assistance program.

Abstract

The budget efficiency policy under Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 2025 threatens the sustainability of vocational training programs at regional training centers (BLK UPTD), particularly at the Class A UPTD Vocational Training Center of North Sulawesi Province (BLK Bitung), the only active government-run training institution in the region. This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of the budget efficiency policy on training program quality and to formulate strategies for sustaining the institution. A qualitative case study approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation review, analyzed using an integrated model combining Dunn's (2018) criteria, Stufflebeam's (1971) CIPP framework, Van Meter & Van Horn's (1975) implementation model, and Becker's (1993) human capital perspective. Results reveal that a 6.75% budget cut with only 65% actual realization led to 61.7% dependency on national budget funds and 48.5% of participants lacking access to competency certification, with four of six Dunn criteria rated low. The absence of functional civil servant instructors does not stem from budget cuts per se, but reflects the actual structural reality of unfilled functional positions within the BLK. The study concludes that BLK Bitung is in a state of pseudo-resilience—appearing statistically functional yet structurally fragile—necessitating immediate civil servant instructor recruitment, APBD revitalization, and reformulation of funding mechanisms.

Abstract

Most communities living in the Forest Estate are poor. This condition is caused by limited access to forest resources. Access restriction is claimed to be a way to reduce deforestation and land degradation allegedly caused by illegal community activities. The government, through the Social Forestry (SF) Program, aims to protect the forest while providing welfare to the community. This research attempts to explore in more depth how SF contributes to the welfare of communities living in forest areas in Sigi Regency, especially in the Community Forest Scheme in the Uyu Singgani Forest Farmer Group (FFG) of Sigimpu Village, Palopo Subdistrict and the Village Forest Scheme in the Integrated Village Forest Management Institution (VFMI) of Oo Village, Kulawi Selatan Subdistrict. The method used was Qualitative with a case study approach. Data was collected through observation, survey, and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the communities in both villages were in the prosperous category. However, the contribution of the SF program to community income is actually fairly low, especially in the HKm area. This is because land tenure is not owned by group members but by people outside the village. Meanwhile, the group business that was formed has not been consistent in carrying out production activities so it has not been enough to provide economic benefits to the community.
