Abstract

Religious authority has long been considered an influential factor in shaping electoral behavior in Indonesia. However, the effectiveness of religious endorsements in contemporary local elections remains contested. This study examines the failure of religious authority to mobilize voter support in the 2024 Kampar Regency Election, despite the endorsement of Ustadz Abdul Somad (UAS), one of Indonesia’s most prominent Islamic preachers. Previous studies have primarily highlighted the success of religious leaders in influencing electoral outcomes through patronage networks, clientelistic relationships, and religious legitimacy. Limited attention, however, has been paid to cases in which religious authority fails to generate electoral gains. To address this gap, this research employs a mixed-methods approach that combines a survey of 200 respondents with semi-structured interviews with younger and older voter groups in Kampar Regency, Riau Province. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were examined using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that although UAS enjoys widespread recognition and strong religious credibility, his endorsement had little influence on voting decisions. Instead, regional identity, candidate track records, ethnic proximity, and socio-political connections emerged as more decisive factors. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the limitations of symbolic religious legitimacy in electoral mobilization and highlighting the importance of embedded social and political networks in shaping voter preferences.

Abstract

The transformational leadership of the village head is a key factor in accelerating organizational acceleration, because it is able to encourage a shared vision, innovation, empowerment of apparatus, and increased work commitment. The urgency of this research lies in the lack of empirical studies on how transformational leadership can be a catalyst for building resilience in village government organizations, especially in Kalisat Village, Kalisat District, Jember Regency. This study aims to: (1) analyze the forms and practices of transformational leadership of the village head in encouraging organizational acceleration; (2) identify the level and characteristics of organizational resilience in Kalisat Village; and (3) explain the relationship between transformational leadership and strengthening organizational resilience that impacts the improvement of village government service performance. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and review of village planning and evaluation documents. The analysis technique uses a data reduction model, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to understand leadership patterns and organizational resilience dynamics holistically. This study also considers the local social and cultural context of Kalisat Village, including how interactions between village actors, local political dynamics, and community participation contribute to shaping the adaptive capacity of village government organizations. The research outputs include: (1) mapping the transformational leadership model of the head of Kalisat Village; (2) description of the resilience profile of the village government organization; (3) formulation of a resilience-based organizational acceleration model; (4) practical recommendations for village governments and policy makers regarding strengthening leadership capacity and organizational resilience; and (5) theoretical contributions to the development of governance studies, particularly on the issue of organizational resilience and leadership at the village level.

Abstract

Digital transformation has driven significant changes in public service delivery, including at the urban village level. However, studies on the implementation of agile governance in website-based public services at the local level remain limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of agile governance principles in digital public services through the SIKECE website in Pangkalan Kerinci Timur Urban Village. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Informants were purposively selected, comprising website managers and community members as service users. Data were analyzed qualitatively based on the six principles of agile governance. The findings reveal that the SIKECE website has successfully implemented agile governance principles, including good-enough governance, business-driven, human-focused, quick-win-oriented, a systematic and adaptive approach, and a simple design with continuous refinement. This implementation enhances efficiency, accuracy, responsiveness, and accessibility of public services, particularly in administrative processes such as certificate issuance. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including gaps in digital literacy and limitations in technological infrastructure. This study contributes empirically to the literature on agile governance at the grassroots level and highlights the importance of strengthening technological capacity, stakeholder collaboration, and continuous development of digital systems to achieve inclusive and adaptive public service delivery.

Abstract

Infrastructure development in Yogyakarta reflects an intersection between traditional authority and modern technocracy. While existing studies largely focus on land acquisition or economic impacts, limited attention has been given to how local philosophies are discursively recontextualized to frame large-scale spatial transformation. This study examines how Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana is articulated as a form of cultural political communication in the legitimation of National Strategic Projects, particularly the Yogyakarta International Airport and its supporting toll roads. Adopting a qualitative-interpretive approach, the research draws on a corpus of 10 documents comprising one gubernatorial speech transcript, three policy documents, and six media texts spanning 2021-2025, analyzed using Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis. The study conceptualizes Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana as a discursive resource through which cultural meanings are mobilized in processes of political legitimation. The findings indicate a tendency toward semantic recontextualization, in which the cosmological meaning of Bawana is articulated in relation to technocratic-developmentalist terms such as global markets and investment gateways. Textually, this appears in collocations with growth-oriented vocabulary, euphemisms such as land acquisition for public interest, and passive constructions that background institutional agency. Discursively, the philosophy is circulated by actors holding both bureaucratic and customary authority, contributing to a hybrid discourse that combines administrative legality with Javanese ethical references. Socio-culturally, these formations may reframe potential agrarian tensions in moral-ethical terms, shaping how such issues are publicly articulated. This study suggests that Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana functions as a discursive element within broader processes of development legitimation and highlights the need to examine how local philosophies are mobilized in governance contexts.

Abstract

The problem of waste is becoming an increasingly complex environmental issue due to increasing population, economic activity, and consumption patterns of society. This study aims to analyze the impact, scope, and models of waste management through a review of the scientific literature. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a bibliometric approach using scientific article data from the Scopus database, period 2015-2025. The process of identifying and selecting literature is carried out using the PRISMA protocol to ensure the research is conducted in a systematic, structured, and transparent manner. A total of 711 articles were declared eligible for analysis in this review. Data analysis was conducted using Biblioshiny in RStudio to map the relevance of research themes. The results showed that waste management has a significant impact on improving environmental quality, controlling soil, water, and air pollution, and protecting public health. The scope of waste management includes source reduction, sorting, collection, transportation, processing, and final disposal, as well as technological and policy aspects. Effective waste management models are integrated and aligned with the principles of sustainability and the circular economy, thereby supporting reduced waste generation and more efficient resource use.

Abstract

Flood disasters remain a recurrent and escalating risk in Indonesia, particularly in regions with high hydrometeorological vulnerability such as West Aceh Regency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of flood disaster mitigation policies at the local government level by employing George R. Terry’s actuating framework, which encompasses motivating, directing, communicating, and leading. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis to capture the dynamics of policy implementation in practice. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of flood mitigation in West Aceh is constrained by several interrelated factors, including low community participation, weak policy synchronization across institutions, limited communication systems, and insufficient leadership coordination. Although the local government has undertaken both structural measures—such as drainage improvement and flood control infrastructure—and non-structural measures—such as community awareness programs and institutional strengthening—these efforts remain fragmented and insufficiently integrated. As a result, mitigation outcomes have not yet significantly reduced the recurring flood risks. This study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrative conceptual framework that connects the actuating function with structural and non-structural mitigation approaches. The framework highlights that effective disaster mitigation is not solely dependent on technical interventions but also on the quality of policy execution, institutional capacity, and participatory governance. The study recommends strengthening institutional coordination, enhancing participatory communication strategies, and ensuring the integration of technical and social approaches in local disaster mitigation policies. These findings provide practical and theoretical implications for improving disaster governance in flood-prone regions, particularly within decentralized governance contexts.

Abstract

Previous studies generally examine the implementation of elections in crisis situations from a logistical and administrative perspective, while attention to the interactions between election governance, disaster governance, and democratic vulnerability is still relatively limited. To fill this gap, this study investigates how election governance was implemented during the Mount Lewotobi eruption and how these conditions shaped democratic vulnerabilities in the 2024 East Flores Regency Regional Head Election. This research offers a novel contribution by integrating the perspectives of election governance and democratic vulnerability in a disaster context. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews with 15 key informants, document analysis, and field observations. They were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that disaster conditions not only disrupt election administration but also create democratic vulnerabilities related to voter access, political representation, and election legitimacy. This research contributes to the development of literature on the implementation of regional elections in an emergency context and recommends the development of a disaster-responsive regional election governance framework to strengthen democratic resilience in future regional elections.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of digital technology has transformed democratic processes, particularly in shaping electoral participation. However, existing studies report inconsistent and often contradictory findings regarding its impact, largely due to the assumption of uniform effects across different contexts. This study addresses this gap by systematically examining how digital technology produces uneven effects on voter participation. In this study, digital technology is defined as digitally networked tools that mediate political information and engagement, including social media platforms, digital campaigning infrastructures, and algorithm-driven communication systems. Voter participation is conceptualized primarily as electoral engagement, encompassing voter turnout, voting intention, and participation in election-related activities. This study employs a systematic literature review approach, analyzing empirical articles published between 2020 and 2025 from Scopus, JSTOR, and DOAJ databases. A structured protocol based on PRISMA guidelines was used to ensure transparency and rigor in the selection, extraction, and synthesis processes. The findings reveal that digital technology exerts diverse and context-dependent effects on voter participation. While it can enhance engagement through increased access to information and mobilization, it can also generate demobilizing outcomes through misinformation, polarization, and declining trust. These effects are not uniform but are shaped by the interaction of individual factors (e.g., age and digital literacy), technological characteristics (e.g., platform affordances and algorithmic curation), and contextual conditions (e.g., institutional trust and governance quality). This study contributes to digital democracy scholarship by advancing the concept of uneven effects as a central analytical framework for understanding how digital environments reshape electoral participation. It demonstrates that digital technology functions as a conditional force that can both expand and constrain democratic engagement, depending on how structural inequalities are mediated within digital ecosystems. Practically, these findings highlight the need for policies that reduce digital inequalities, strengthen digital literacy, and improve governance frameworks to support more inclusive electoral participation.
