Abstract

Accountability in the financial management of Village Funds is crucial. This research is motivated by the financial management of village funds by the Kuteni Reje village government, which has achieved achievements in managing village funds. However, there are still shortcomings in implementing accountability in the financial management of Village Funds. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a more in-depth study to find an accountability model for Village Fund management to maximize the performance of the Kuteni Reje village government as a public service provider. This research uses Mardiasmo's accountability theory, which consists of 4 (four) variables: legal accountability and honesty, process accountability, program accountability, and policy accountability. The research was conducted using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews and documentation. The selection of informants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The results of this research show that in terms of formal accountability, the management of Village Funds by the Kuteni Reje Village Government has been carried out accountably. However, there are still shortcomings in village financial management, namely delays in the process of preparing the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBK) and lack of transparent information regarding the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBK) to the community, especially the use of Village Funds, and the unavailability of compliant services for the community to convey any deviations in the management of Village Funds that occur. So, we need a model and pattern of accountability that focuses more on social accountability to complement the dark side of formal accountability so that the performance of the Village government in financial management becomes better.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of regulatory changes on the handling of discretionary authority within the State Administrative Court (PTUN) in Indonesia. Specifically, it examines how the legal status of discretion as an object of dispute has evolved following the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2023, which amended the Job Creation Perppu. The study focuses on how this legislative reform affects the acceptance and settlement of lawsuits related to discretionary decisions by public officials, as well as the legal boundaries that define which discretionary actions can be challenged in court. Using a normative juridical approach and in particular, this research employs statutory analysis to evaluate relevant laws and regulations, case studies to analyze precedents in PTUN decisions, and a comparative approach to assess differences in discretionary oversight before and after the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2023. The findings show that Law No. 6 of 2023 enhances judicial oversight of discretionary actions by allowing challenges based on both procedural and substantive grounds. It sets clearer limits on discretionary authority, requiring decisions to meet standards of transparency, accountability, and public interest. This reform strengthens the PTUN's role in reviewing not only the legality but also the justification of administrative decisions, offering citizens greater protection against arbitrary discretion and promoting good governance. This research contributes to academic discourse on administrative law by offering specific insights into how Law No. 6 of 2023 impacts discretionary authority and PTUN supervision. It highlights that the law now requires discretionary acts to meet stricter standards, focusing on procedural transparency and substantive justification. For instance, public officials must ensure their decisions align with good governance principles, and PTUN now plays a stronger role in assessing the substance of these actions. This provides legal practitioners with clearer guidelines for handling disputes involving discretion, particularly regarding the balance between decision-making flexibility and citizen protection.

Abstract

The increase in investment in the tertiary sector, such as tourism, trade, and services, has become one of the strategic priorities of Garut Regency in driving regional economic growth. However, regulatory barriers, lack of legal certainty, and infrastructure challenges often pose major obstacles for investors. This study aims to analyze the existing regulatory framework, identify challenges in policy implementation, and offer recommendations for optimizing policies to attract more investment in the tertiary sector. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants, including officials from the Investment and Integrated Licensing Service Office (DPMPT), local business actors, prospective investors, and academics. Data analysis was conducted using triangulation methods, which included policy document analysis, investment statistics, and insights from interviews. The results of the study show that despite Garut Regency's great potential in the tertiary sector, such as natural tourism and trade, investment policy implementation is still suboptimal. Major inhibiting factors include the complexity of licensing procedures, lack of synchronization between regional and national policies, and insufficient structured investment promotion. The study recommends streamlining regulations, digitalizing the licensing system, and strengthening coordination between local governments and stakeholders. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of optimizing an adaptive regulatory framework that aligns with investor needs. With more flexible and conducive policies, Garut Regency has the potential to become a leading destination for tertiary sector investment in Indonesia.

Abstract

The arrangement of the Paya Ilang Traditional Market in Central Aceh Regency aims to organize trading activities within the designated market building. However, this initiative faces challenges as vendors are reluctant to use the provided facilities, leaving the market building vacant and poorly maintained. This study seeks to evaluate the role of local government in the development and enhancement of traditional markets and to identify factors influencing the success of market regulation. A qualitative approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, field observations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal several critical issues, including ineffective communication between the government and vendors, unsuitable market building conditions (such as inadequate lighting and ventilation), and a lack of strict enforcement of regulations. Additionally, limited access roads and insufficient parking space exacerbate the problems. The study concludes that renovating the market building with active involvement from vendors is crucial to achieving mutual understanding. The government must improve communication, provide clear guidance, and enforce regulations rigorously to raise vendor awareness of the importance of cleanliness, comfort, and public order. Market revitalization is anticipated to address these challenges while enhancing the market’s appeal as a modern and orderly trading hub.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public perception of the dissemination of information on Regional Regulations (Perda) passed by the Soppeng Regency DPRD together with the local government. Regional regulations are legal instruments that regulate various aspects of social and economic life in the regions, but their success is highly dependent on community understanding and participation. A quantitative descriptive method was used in this study, involving 100 respondents in Soppeng Regency. Respondents are selected purposively based on the criteria of having knowledge or experience related to the Regional Regulation.  The results of the study show that 97% of the public understands the functions and duties of the DPRD, but only 43% feel that they receive information about the Regional Regulation clearly and comprehensively. Social media is the main source of information, while direct socialization by DPRD members is not optimal. The majority of people (96%) consider that the Regional Regulation is made for the benefit of the people, even though they state the need to increase the intensity of socialization. Community participation in socialization activities is still low, with 46% rarely participating in these activities. This study also found that age, education, and employment factors affect people's perception of the Regional Regulation. Respondents with higher education levels tend to have a better understanding. These findings highlight the need for intensification of socialization by the DPRD through a more inclusive strategy and the use of digital media to increase public understanding and their participation in the implementation of the Regional Regulation. Conclusion This study provides strategic recommendations to increase public involvement in the legislative process and the dissemination of legal information.  Keywords: Community Perception, Information Distribution, Regional Regulation, Soppeng Regency, Community Participation.

Abstract

Public service is one of the efforts made by the government to provide services to the community. In Surabaya, one of the most important public services is the population administration service, which is managed by the city's Population and Civil Registration Office. To access this service, Surabaya residents have the option to take care of their population administration at the local urban village office or RW hall. Thus, the Surabaya City Government seeks to bring services closer to the community and improve the ease of access to administrative services. This research aims to describe and analyze how the implementation of bureaucratic reform on service performance in Medokan Ayu urban village. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collected by observation, interview and documentation methods. This research uses the theoretical reference put forward by Agus Dwijayanto (2006) in Ismoyo (2017), which identifies five main indicators to measure the performance of the public bureaucracy. These indicators include: (1) Productivity, (2) Service Quality, (3) Responsiveness, (4) Responsiveness (5) Accountability. The results show that population administration services in Kelurahan Medokan Ayu face significant challenges, especially related to the limitations of competent human resources and the lack of socialization of administrative programs. However, with reforms through the application of digital technology, such as barcode systems and e-Kios, service productivity has increased substantially despite the limited number of employees. The quality of service has also been improved by providing additional services such as outreach for underprivileged residents and making it easier for them to access the services they need.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that cause women to come into conflict with the law in the Tanjungpinang area, focusing on women as perpetrators of criminal acts. The research method utilized involved in-depth interviews with informants who have direct experience related to this issue. The findings indicate that economic factors, social environment, and family conditions are the main drivers of women's involvement in criminal activities. Urgent financial needs often force women to seek quick solutions through illegal avenues, such as fraud and theft. The social environment that permits and normalizes deviant behavior influences individuals' mindsets and actions, thus increasingly driving women to engage in illegal activities. Furthermore, the dynamics within the family, including internal conflicts and lack of emotional support, also contribute to women's decisions to confront the law. In addition to external factors, the psychological and emotional conditions of women, such as poor mental health due to stigma and discrimination, are significant factors that exacerbate their situations. This study emphasizes the importance of social support, appropriate rehabilitation, and educational programs for women involved in criminal behavior. Therefore, this research aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers and the community to develop more effective and inclusive prevention strategies for women in Tanjungpinang.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of disaster-resilient tourism development policies carried out by the Padang City Government. The research was conducted in 11 districts in Padang City, with informants being stakeholders who play a key role in the implementation of this policy, such as the Mayor of Padang, the Regional Secretary of Padang City, the Padang City Council, the Padang City Tourism Office, the Padang City BPBD, members of the Balawisata Padang, members of Pokdarwis Padang, the Board of the Disaster Risk Reduction Forum (FPRB) Padang, members of the Disaster Alert Group (KSB), as well as Non-Governmental Organizations involved in the implementation of this policy, such as the Tsunami Alert Community (Kogami) Padang, and the Disaster Alert Cadets (Tagana) Padang, Districts and Villages under the policy’s supervision, as well as the communities in the target areas of this policy.The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with informant selection using purposive sampling techniques, combining data from observations, interviews, and documentation, and interpreting both etic and emic data in an integrated manner. The results of this study conclude that overall, the implementation of the disaster-resilient tourism development policy by the Padang City Government has been carried out but is not yet effective. This is due to several factors, such as the lack of regulations and derivative documents that can serve as guidelines, which has caused stakeholders and the community to be hesitant and passive in implementing the policy. Furthermore, in terms of integration, the lack of communication and coordination between policy implementers at the city level and stakeholders at the district and village levels has resulted in a relationship pattern that does not align with what was initially planned. Regarding the adaptation instrument, the limited facilities and infrastructure owned by the village and district offices have caused the policy implementation to stagnate in these areas.
