Abstract

The 2024 General Election and the subsequent Re-vote (PSU) in West Sumatra present an intriguing case study in voter behavior dynamics, featuring a young female candidate and recent graduate—Cerint Iralloza Tasya—who secured the highest number of votes in the 2024 West Sumatra Regional Representative Council (DPD) election. This study aims to describe the consistency of voter behavior among Cerint’s supporters during the 2024 DPD RI election in West Sumatra. It employs a qualitative approach utilizing a case study method, grounded in the voter behavior theory proposed by Adman Nursal. Psychological factors played a significant role; the initial election victory created a perception of her as a "leading candidate," thereby encouraging voters to maintain their support during the Re-vote (PSU). Furthermore, Cerint’s platform addressed issues that resonated deeply with the public, while her campaign methods and extensive use of social media were key drivers in voters' decisions to support her in the 2024 West Sumatra DPD RI election. These findings reinforce psychological theories regarding voter behavior, specifically the concept of cognitive consistency, demonstrating that consistent voting patterns are shaped by psychological factors. Cerint successfully cultivated these elements, enabling her to sustain consistent voter support across both the initial election and the Re-vote for the DPD RI in West Sumatra.

Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of digital layering in the use of the Family Information System (Sistem Informasi Keluarga/SIGA) at Kemendukbangga/BKKBN Representative Office of Bengkulu Province, focusing on how the gradual accumulation of digital systems shapes frontline bureaucratic work. Design/methodology/approach – A descriptive qualitative design was employed; data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, observation, and documentation, and analyzed thematically using three dimensions of digital layering: complexity, fragmentation, and instability.  Findings/results – SIGA operates within a stack of more than twenty digital systems and nine layered regulations. Digital layering manifests in complexity, as officials operate multiple interconnected systems simultaneously; fragmentation, as non-integrated data demand repeated entry and additional coordination; and instability, as system disruptions force officials to perform workarounds and digital repair work. Although SIGA attains full formal realization—managed in all ten districts/cities (100 percent, LAKIP 2023) with complete TI-network coverage—this uniform compliance conceals a substantial operational burden at the frontline, including server downtime, limited system literacy among field officers, and manual workarounds; the gap between formal achievement and operational reality thus reflects differences in organizational capacity to manage layered digital activities rather than technical failure. Research limitations/implications – As a single-case qualitative study, the findings are not statistically generalizable. Originality/value – This study is among the first to apply the digital layering concept to a developing-country public organization, showing that digitalization does not necessarily simplify bureaucratic work but may generate new layers of administrative burden.

Abstract

This study examines how the Provincial Office of the National Population and Family Development Agency (Perwakilan BKKBN) of Bengkulu bridges the distance between the centrally designed Family Information System (SIGA) and the conditions under which it is actually run at the local level. Drawing on a qualitative descriptive case study, the research relied on in-depth interviews with four key informants who manage SIGA at the provincial office, supported by limited observation and documentation of official performance reports for 2023 to 2025, strategic plans, and budget records. A total of 202 coded interview units were analyzed through content analysis along the seven ITPOSMO dimensions of Heeks within the Design-Reality Gap framework. The analysis shows that the gap does not lie in the application itself but in the information and management dimensions, which together account for 57.4 percent of the coded evidence. The sharpest tension appears between the central demand for accurate, real-time, by name by address data and the uneven validation capacity, operator turnover, server instability, and limited operational budget found in the regions. Rather than redesigning the system, the office narrows this gap through tiered data verification, intensive mentoring and capacity building, and a combination of formal agreements and informal coordination. The study contributes to e-government research in Indonesia by applying the Design-Reality Gap to a vertical central-government unit running a national family data system, a setting that has rarely been studied, and by reading implementation success as a matter of organizational bridging rather than technical compliance.
Rent-Seeking and Corruption in the Granting of Oil Palm Plantation Land Cultivation Rights (HGU): A Case Study of PT Permata Hijau Pasaman Unit II in Nagari Maligi, West Pasaman Regency, Indonesia Afif Wardana

Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms of rent-seeking and structural corruption in the allocation of Land Cultivation Rights (Hak Guna Usaha/HGU) for the oil palm plantation of PT Permata Hijau Pasaman (PHP) Unit II in Nagari Maligi, Sasak Ranah Pasisia District, West Pasaman Regency, Indonesia. The study addresses an important gap in the literature by exploring how customary institutions are co-opted as mediating actors within agrarian patronage networks, a dimension that has received limited scholarly attention. Employing a qualitative approach with a single-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 purposively selected informants, passive participant observation, and documentary analysis. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal four principal mechanisms of institutionalized rent-seeking and corruption. First, customary authority was commodified through a divide-and-rule strategy that fragmented indigenous community solidarity and weakened collective resistance. Second, the company's failure to fulfill its legal obligation to establish 1,453 hectares of plasma plantations represented a form of predatory capital accumulation, allowing economic benefits to be concentrated among corporate and political elites. Third, the study identifies the manipulation of HGU spatial data, involving approximately 400 hectares of land cultivated beyond the officially licensed concession, facilitated through falsified land measurement documents. Fourth, bureaucratic institutions normalized regulatory violations through a pattern of fragmented impunity, whereby overlapping institutional responsibilities obscured accountability and enabled persistent non-compliance. This study concludes that corruption in HGU licensing is fundamentally pre-decisional, emerging long before formal permits are issued through patronage alliances linking corporate actors, bureaucratic elites, and customary leaders. These networks shape administrative decisions, weaken regulatory oversight, and institutionalize unequal access to land. The study contributes to the literature on rent-seeking, institutional corruption, and agrarian governance by demonstrating that corruption extends beyond administrative malpractice to encompass the systematic capture of local institutions. The findings underscore the need for independent spatial audits, stricter enforcement of plasma plantation obligations, and the reconstruction of accountable customary governance to promote transparency, equity, and sustainable land governance.
