Abstract

This study analyses the role and impact of public-private partnerships to improve food security in coastal areas of Indonesia. The public-private partnership model as a tool to address poverty, food needs and stunting is examined using a qualitative exploratory technique. Additional information was gathered by the researchers via interviews, field observations and documents. The study was carried out in Indonesia’s Coastal Takalar Regency, and NVivo 12 Pro was used to visualise the data. The results showed that the parties involved in efforts to improve food security on the Takalar Regency Coast include the Food Social Service and Village Community Empowerment of Takalar Regency, Subdistrict Social Welfare Workers, village government, Mandiri Bank, food suppliers and E-Warong (noncash government assistance) agents. Findings further showed that the benefits arising from this collaboration can reduce social inequalities such as decreasing poverty, increasing food needs and reducing stunting cases in the coastal areas of Takalar Regency. This work revealed several obstacles to cooperation between the government and the private sector to improve food security through food aid programmes, namely corruption through diversion of aid funds and a lack of supervision.

Abstract

Effective asset management is essential for enhancing operational efficiency and achieving sustainable development within local governments in Indonesia. This study explores key challenges in asset management, focusing on governance, planning, and policy evaluation. Several critical issues are identified: fragmented governance, insufficient transparency and coordination, outdated asset inventories, and misalignment between asset management practices and broader development goals. Policy evaluation mechanisms are also inadequate, failing to measure asset utilisation effectively. These challenges lead to inefficiencies in resource allocation, underutilisation of assets, and missed opportunities for local economic growth. The findings align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), which promotes efficient resource use, and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), which supports enhanced infrastructure management. Addressing these goals enables local governments to align asset management strategies with broader sustainability objectives, fostering equitable growth and long-term development. Through a qualitative literature review, this study analyses data from government reports and prior research to highlight these challenges and propose solutions. An integrated approach—aligning governance frameworks, improving asset management planning, and strengthening policy evaluation—can overcome the identified barriers. By adopting this model, local governments can optimise asset management, leading to improved efficiency, better resource utilisation, and sustainable development. Future research should explore applying this framework across regions in Indonesia to validate its effectiveness.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of basic education quality improvement policies in Balikpapan City, a region known for its pivotal role in Indonesia’s oil industry, often referred to as an oil-rich area. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (2021-2026) in addressing educational quality, considering the city's economic dependence on oil. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study focuses on the Department of Education and Culture in Balikpapan, engaging key informants to evaluate the efficacy of policy implementation. The analysis framework encompasses an evaluation of policy standards, resources, inter-organisational communication, and the characteristics of the implementing agencies. The findings reveal that, while considerable progress has been made in enhancing educational facilities and teacher competencies, challenges persist due to the city’s heavy reliance on the oil sector and its impact on local resources. Furthermore, the study explores the relationship between these challenges and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 (quality education) by addressing disparities in resource allocation and the city's limited capacity for economic diversification. The research recommends the integration of more diverse data sources, continuous monitoring, and deeper analysis of the social and economic impacts to further improve educational outcomes. Balikpapan's economic context, as an oil-dependent city, significantly influences its ability to implement and sustain effective educational policies, highlighting the necessity for balanced development strategies aligned with broader SDGs.

Abstract

This article explores the strengthening of collaborative governance within Indonesia's Department of Transportation, focusing on the implementation and enforcement of levies. It highlights the integration of diverse stakeholders, including government bodies, private sector entities, and civil society, to create a more effective levy management system. However, a lack of collaboration between the Palembang city government and the local community has hindered the effectiveness of levies. Key strategies for improvement include promoting transparency, shared decision-making, and the use of innovative technologies. The study underscores the importance of trust and accountability among stakeholders to enhance compliance and enforcement. In Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra Province, transportation and traffic management challenges necessitate the effective implementation of levies. Employing a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, the research reveals that collaborative efforts between local governments, the private sector, and the community are essential, despite challenges such as limited resources and community resistance. The findings suggest that while collaborative governance can improve the effectiveness of levy enforcement, it requires commitment and active participation from all parties. Recommendations include enhancing human resource capacity, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and raising public awareness of the importance of levies for regional revenue. This study also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in improving infrastructure, fostering sustainable cities (SDG 11), and promoting effective partnerships (SDG 17).

Abstract

This research examines governance strategies to address gender inequality in the mining industry and enhance women’s empowerment. It identifies barriers preventing women from accessing opportunities and leadership roles through a systematic review of 37 articles published between 2014 and 2024. Data analysis using NVivo 12 Plus focused on themes such as women’s roles, challenges, and gender dynamics, while VOSviewer was employed for bibliometric analysis. The findings reveal systemic barriers, including limited training, unequal pay, and exclusion from decision-making. The study underscores the need for inclusive policies and gender-sensitive governance to drive meaningful change, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly gender equality (SDG 5) and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8). It calls for comprehensive policies, comparative analyses of effective strategies across contexts, and integration of community perspectives into empowerment initiatives. Strengthening governance frameworks and fostering collaboration between stakeholders, policymakers, and local communities can enhance gender equality and inclusive growth in mining. Future research should further explore policy effectiveness, cross-national comparisons, and innovative governance models to address structural inequalities and promote sustainable economic participation for women.

Abstract

This study employs narrative analysis to examine collaborative initiatives supporting the development of thematic communities in Malang City, Indonesia. Drawing on the experiences of government officials, community members, and NGO representatives, the research highlights the importance of participatory governance, community engagement, and the unique features of thematic villages in advancing sustainable local development. Cases such as Kampung Sanan, known for tempeh production, and Kampung Heritage Kayutangan, valued for its cultural and historical significance, illustrate how local innovation and identity can empower communities and boost tourism. Thematic village development aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 1 (No Poverty), by fostering inclusive economic opportunities. However, challenges such as limited stakeholder engagement, power imbalances, and the marginalisation of vulnerable groups may hinder progress towards Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Ecological sustainability is also central to the approach, especially regarding Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). The findings suggest that effective coordination, strong political support, and inclusive participation are vital to improving quality of life and local income. This study offers practical insights and policy recommendations for strengthening collaborative frameworks that promote sustainable and inclusive thematic village development.

Abstract

Ghost workers on the payroll continue to undermine efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Global South. Their presence weakens the quality of public service delivery and leads to significant socio-economic repercussions. In Tanzania, initiatives such as public service reforms, physical verification exercises for public servants, and the enhancement of human resource information systems have been introduced to address this challenge. However, the persistence of ghost workers continues to hinder service efficiency and broader developmental progress. Existing studies have not sufficiently explored the socio-economic consequences of this phenomenon. This paper therefore investigates the impact of ghost workers on public sector performance and development in Tanzania. The analysis draws on the Fraud Triangle Theory and Fraud Management Theory as conceptual frameworks. Secondary data were sourced from credible government documents and peer-reviewed journal articles, and analysed through content analysis by comparing data trends and thematic overlaps. Key findings include financial losses, increased unemployment, stalled promotions, demotivated personnel, higher anti-fraud costs, and poor service delivery. The study concludes that ghost workers compromise workforce effectiveness, undermine governance, and obstruct public sector development, thereby threatening the realisation of the SDGs. It calls for strong political will to institutionalise ethical recruitment and implement robust fraud control mechanisms, thus reducing payroll fraud and mitigating its socio-economic impact by 2030.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of social capital in strengthening local government resilience to natural disaster risks in Gowa, Indonesia—an area highly vulnerable to multiple natural hazards. Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilises Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) via Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) to conduct regression analysis. Data were collected through a structured survey involving 150 respondents from 15 institutions, including government agencies, private sector actors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and disaster response volunteers. The survey comprised 72 statement items across eight variables, ensuring the dataset’s validity and reliability. The findings indicate that strengthening social bonds, fostering community collaboration, and enhancing trust in local institutions significantly contribute to reducing the impacts of disasters by enabling swift responses and improving recovery efforts. These results underscore the vital—yet often underappreciated—role of social capital in disaster risk management and resilience building. The study calls for policy interventions that promote community cohesion and institutional trust, demonstrating that social dimensions are central to effective and sustainable disaster risk reduction. Moreover, the research aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), by advocating for socially inclusive, community-driven resilience strategies.

Abstract

Digitalisation has emerged as a dominant trend in public service delivery, often regarded as a means to reduce costs, improve accessibility and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 on Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. However, as institutions adopt digital service models, critical questions remain regarding the urgency, effectiveness and potential shortcomings of such reforms. This study examines Indonesia’s public sector amid a wave of digital reforms, exploring the broader implications of cross-institutional digitalisation through the concept of the digi-service bubble. This refers to a condition where the pace of digital adoption exceeds the capacity for strategic planning and meaningful implementation. Data were collected via online surveys involving 50 participants, complemented by in-depth interviews with 20 informants. The research investigates public perceptions of digital services, particularly in relation to their necessity, accessibility and practical effects on everyday governance interactions. The findings highlight three key patterns. First, there is broad consensus on the importance of digitalisation. Second, perceptions vary based on educational background. Third, fragmented digital infrastructure remains a challenge, leading to redundancy and inefficient resource allocation. While digital transformation in public services is broadly supported, long-term success depends on strategic coordination, inclusivity and coherent policymaking. The study underscores the need for integrated digital infrastructure, widespread digital literacy and transparency in governance. These factors are vital to avoiding inefficient or poorly implemented digital initiatives, which typify the digi-service bubble.

Abstract

Public policy addresses societal challenges, shapes governance structures, and enhances institutional performance. This paper critically reviews the stages of the policy process—formulation, implementation, and evaluation—by examining key theoretical frameworks, including the policy cycle, rational and incremental models, and evidence-based policy-making. While these frameworks offer valuable foundational insights, their practical application is often constrained by complex political, institutional, and socio-cultural factors. The analysis underscores how real-world governance dynamics frequently demand adaptive and participatory approaches that extend beyond the linear logic of conventional policy models. Drawing on a qualitative literature review, the study emphasises the growing relevance of Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) as a normative foundation for effective governance. SDG 16 advocates inclusive institutions, accountable decision-making, and equitable access to justice—principles closely aligned with effective public policy. By integrating governance-oriented considerations such as transparency, stakeholder engagement, and institutional resilience, the paper argues for a more flexible and context-sensitive approach to policy-making. The findings suggest that bridging the gap between theory and practice requires methodological pluralism and a commitment to institutional values consistent with the spirit of SDG 16. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of how public policy can strengthen democratic governance in an era of uncertainty and complexity.
