Abstract

This study is motivated by the condition of the Tanjung Pinggir Final Disposal Site (TPA) in Kota Pematangsiantar, which has experienced overcapacity and still applies an open dumping system, resulting in air, water, and soil pollution as well as public health disturbances. The research aims to analyze the implementation of strategies carried out by the Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Pematangsiantar in addressing environmental pollution impacts. The study is grounded in the implementation theory of Van Meter and Van Horn, environmental management strategy theory, environmental pollution theory, and regional autonomy theory. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants included the Head of the Environmental Agency, landfill field officers, and local community representatives. The findings indicate that technical, operational, educational, and collaborative strategies have been implemented, including waste compaction, leachate control, environmental monitoring, and 3R socialization. However, the implementation remains suboptimal due to budget limitations, inadequate facilities, landfill capacity constraints, and low community participation. It is concluded that although the strategies have been implemented, their effectiveness requires further strengthening through improved resources and more sustainable waste management systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of public communication in improving the quality of public services in Damar Sari Village, Tebing Tinggi City. Public communication is a crucial aspect of public service delivery because it influences information delivery, transparency, and the relationship between the government and the public. Effective public services require clear, open, and responsive communication so that the public can understand service procedures and effectively express their needs and complaints.The research method used in this study was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation of village officials and the community as service users. Data analysis was conducted by collecting, reducing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions from the research results obtained in the field.The research results indicate that public communication in Damar Sari Village plays a crucial role in improving the quality of public services. This is evident in the delivery of service information through various media, direct interaction between village officials and the public, and efforts to ensure transparency in the service process. However, several obstacles remain, such as limited communication facilities, inadequate use of digital media, and a lack of understanding of service procedures among the public.Based on these research results, it can be concluded that effective public communication can support the improvement of the quality of public services in Damar Sari Village. Therefore, improvements in the use of communication media, the provision of clearer and more accessible information, and improvements in the communication skills of officials are needed to optimize public services.

Abstract

Electronic-based public services are a government innovation aimed at improving service quality to be faster, more efficient, transparent, and easily accessible. The Department of Population and Civil Registration of Serdang Bedagai Regency has implemented this system in birth certificate services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy and the factors influencing it. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques.The results show that the implementation of electronic-based public service policies has generally run quite well and has improved service efficiency. Based on George C. Edwards III’s theory, the success of implementation is influenced by communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. However, there are still obstacles such as limited infrastructure and low digital literacy among the community. In conclusion, the implementation of this policy is fairly effective, but improvements are needed in socialization, human resource capacity, and access to technology to optimize public services.

Abstract

The development of information technology encourages governments to transform public services through the implementation of digital-based services as an effort to realize good governance. The digitalization of public services at the sub-district level is expected to enhance transparency, accountability, and provide wider opportunities for public participation. However, the utilization of digital-based public services in Medan Timur Sub-district has not been fully optimal, as some members of the community still prefer face-to-face services rather than using the digital platforms that have been provided. This study aims to analyze the forms of community participation in utilizing digital-based public services in Medan Timur Sub-district and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of such participation in realizing good governance. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews with key informants, main informants, and additional informants, supported by documentation studies. The data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that community participation in digital-based public services in Medan Timur Sub-district is still at a consultative level, which is reflected through the utilization of services such as complaint platforms, access to administrative information, and the Digital Population Identity (IKD) service. Digital services have also supported transparency through information openness and strengthened accountability through digital recording systems and documented complaint mechanisms. The supporting factors of community participation include the availability of digital platforms, the responsiveness of government officials, and documented service systems. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include low levels of digital literacy among some members of the community, limited access to devices and internet connectivity, and the community’s preference for direct face-to-face services.

Abstract

The development of the digital era requires government institutions to adapt their bureaucratic work systems and public services to become more effective and responsive. However, the adaptation process still faces several challenges, such as limited technological competence, conventional bureaucratic work patterns, and the readiness of civil servants to face change. Therefore, an adaptive governance approach is needed to encourage flexibility and the ability of organizations to adjust to environmental dynamics. This study aims to analyze the implementation of adaptive governance in improving the performance of civil servants at the Medan Timur Sub-district Office and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis applies the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of adaptive governance is reflected in collaboration among employees, flexibility in work procedures, improvement of civil servants’ capacity in the use of technology, and the role of transformational leadership in encouraging openness to change. These efforts contribute to improving work effectiveness and the quality of public services. However, several obstacles remain, including limited digital skills, lack of technical training, and work habits that are still oriented toward manual systems. The study concludes that adaptive governance plays an important role in improving civil servant performance and supporting organizational adaptation to the digital transformation of public services.

Abstract

Forest resource management in Indonesia is an important part of sustainable development policy aimed at balancing economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community welfare. One form of forest utilization is through the Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI) scheme. However, in practice, HTI activities often generate various environmental and social impacts on communities living around forest areas. PT Toba Pulp Lestari is one of the companies managing Industrial Plantation Forests in Humbang Hasundutan Regency, including within the customary territory of the Pargamanan Bintang Maria Indigenous community in Parlilitan District. This study aims to analyze the environmental impacts of the company’s operations and to understand community perceptions of the environmental changes that have occurred. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews with key informants, including the leader of the indigenous community, community members directly affected by the company’s activities, and additional informants such as village government representatives and the company. Documentation studies were also used to support the data. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the operations of PT Toba Pulp Lestari have caused various environmental changes, including a reduction in natural forest cover, decreased water availability, and disruption of ecosystem balance, which has affected the productivity of benzoin forests as the main livelihood source of the community. In addition, the community has experienced social and economic changes, such as shifts in livelihood patterns, reduced agricultural and forest yields, and differing views within the community regarding the presence of the company. Although the company provides employment opportunities for some community members, the economic benefits remain limited. The conclusion of this study shows that the operational activities of PT Toba Pulp Lestari have significant impacts on the environment and the livelihoods of the Pargamanan Bintang Maria Indigenous community. Therefore, more sustainable forest management is required by considering environmental conservation, protection of indigenous peoples’ rights, and stronger government supervision to create a balance between economic development and environmental sustainability
