Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the dynamics of the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy within higher education institutions in Kota Bima, with particular emphasis on the interplay between national policy design and the adaptive capacity of local institutions in peripheral contexts. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with an exploratory strategy, utilizing data collection techniques including field observations, in-depth interviews with institutional actors (leaders, lecturers, and students), and institutional document analysis. The data were subsequently analyzed through systematic coding, categorization, and thematic interpretation to identify patterns of implementation and policy distortions. The findings reveal that the implementation of MBKM does not follow a linear trajectory; rather, it is characterized by processes of negotiation, reinterpretation, and contextual adaptation shaped by constraints in human resources, digital infrastructure, partnership networks, and students’ economic capacity. These conditions have stimulated the emergence of institutional improvisation practices grounded in community-based initiatives and local collaborations, while simultaneously indicating disparities in access and the prevalence of administrative evaluation bias. Consequently, policy implementation is better understood as a complex interaction between policy structures, local institutional capacities, and the dynamics of educational inequality.

Abstract

Existing studies on village governance and public accountability have largely focused on institutional and structural drivers of corruption, often overlooking the interplay between administrative practices, local power dynamics, and perpetrator motivations. Accountability failures are shaped by these interactions as much as by formal structures. This study examines village fund oversight in Mawu and Waduruka Villages, Bima Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study, the authors collected data through field observations, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with village officials, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), community representatives, government auditors, village facilitators, and corruption perpetrators. Key findings include: (1) Oversight is predominantly focused on procedures and compliance with regulations, which allows genuine accountability to be hidden; (2) Administrative approaches, along with limited ability of institutions to perform their functions, minimal resources for financial review (auditing), and deeply rooted relationships between patrons (people in power) and clients (dependent supporters), directly lead to fake documents, inflated budgets, and fictional activities; (3) Citizen participation is disjointed and mainly reactive, occurring after corruption comes to light; (4) The idea of the 'administrative formality trap'—where official systems for accountability exist but meaningful evaluation or enforcement is missing—shows that such systems can unintentionally allow corruption. These findings together offer a more complete

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the implementation of open selection and to identify the factors that influence and constrain the filling of Primary High Leadership Positions in West Sulawesi Province. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation review.Data analysis is based on the theoretical framework proposed by Hugo Horta, which encompasses seven aspects: open recruitment policy, specificity, merit system in candidate selection, communication, challenges, transparency of selection procedures, and the role of the selection committee. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, supported by NVivo 12 Plus software to systematically visualize and manage qualitative data.The findings indicate that the implementation of open selection by the Government of West Sulawesi Province has not been optimal. Several issues were identified, including the issuance of special invitations to certain candidates, non-transparent access to implementation costs, an assessment system that lacks transparency and tends to be subjective, and the dominance of spoil system practices. Information regarding both the process and results of the selection is only accessible to limited groups and has not been widely made available to the public.

Abstract

Sustainable tourism has become a dominant paradigm in regional development; however, its implementation often emphasizes economic growth and environmental preservation while overlooking community empowerment. North Lombok Regency, one of Indonesia’s leading tourism destinations, has experienced complex development dynamics following the 2018 earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions have necessitated a transformation toward a beyond sustainability approach through Community-Based Tourism (CBT), positioning local communities as key actors in tourism governance. This study aims to analyze policy directions, development strategies, and tourism performance achievements in North Lombok, and to assess the extent to which CBT principles have been implemented. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using policy documents (RENSTRA 2021–2026, RENJA 2022–2023, and LKJIP 2023) and tourism performance data. Data were analyzed using content analysis and network analysis to identify patterns of collaboration among stakeholders. The findings reveal a significant shift from growth-oriented tourism toward inclusive, community-led development. Tourism indicators show a 113% increase in visitor numbers, a 46% rise in regional tourism revenue, and expansion of active tourism villages. Network analysis indicates a moderately dense collaboration (density 0.62), with the Tourism Office and Pokdarwis Senaru as central actors. The study concludes that the beyond sustainability approach strengthens community resilience, promotes equitable development, and fosters participatory tourism governance.

Abstract

This study examines the justice dilemma between punishment and rehabilitation in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak/SPPA) and formulates a more proportional legal reasoning standard for handling children in conflict with the law. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by doctrinal analysis and relevant scholarship on retributive, rehabilitative and restorative justice. Legal materials are analyzed through systematic and teleological interpretation, as well as prescriptive legal argumentation, to assess the relationship between child protection, victims’ interests and the legitimacy of punishment. The findings show that the central dilemma lies not in the existence of punishment or rehabilitation per se, but in the absence of consistent argumentative standards to determine when punishment may be justified and when rehabilitation should be prioritized. The study finds that punishment remains legally possible within SPPA, but its legitimacy must be strictly limited by necessity review, the ultimum remedium principle and proportionality. Conversely, rehabilitation and diversion should not be treated merely as policy preferences, but as normative priorities because they are aligned with the best interests of the child and social reintegration objectives. This study formulates an operational normative reasoning framework requiring law enforcers to assess the purpose of intervention, the availability of alternatives, procedural quality and the justificatory basis of decisions. These findings contribute to strengthening consistency in SPPA implementation and to developing a more accountable, humane and just juvenile justice practice.

Abstract

This study examines local taxpayer compliance in Batam from an administrative law perspective by testing the effects of tax literacy, tax regulatory outreach, and perceived fairness of tax collection. The study is motivated by the need to strengthen local own-source revenue, which requires compliance that is not merely formal but also grounded in procedural legitimacy in tax-collection practices. An explanatory quantitative design was employed. A total of 150 questionnaires were collected from registered local taxpayers who actively interacted with the local tax system; after screening for completeness and response consistency, 120 responses were deemed eligible for analysis. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM (SmartPLS) through measurement-model and structural-model assessment. The results indicate that tax literacy, tax regulatory outreach, and perceived fairness of tax collection all have positive and significant effects on local taxpayer compliance. Among these predictors, perceived fairness of tax collection emerges as the most influential determinant, underscoring the importance of procedural fairness, transparency, and equal treatment in shaping compliance behavior. In addition, the model demonstrates adequate explanatory power, predictive relevance, and overall model fit. The findings suggest that improving local taxpayer compliance requires an integrated strategy combining stronger tax literacy, better-designed regulatory outreach, and reforms in service quality and tax-collection procedures. Theoretically, this study enriches the literature on local tax compliance from an administrative law perspective, particularly with respect to procedural justice and the legitimacy of tax collection. Practically, the findings can inform policy strategies aimed at strengthening taxpayer literacy, designing more effective regulatory outreach, and improving the procedural fairness of tax-collection services in order to enhance compliance and the quality of local tax governance in Batam City.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the acceptance of e-government by the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Siak Regency through the implementation of E-Absensi using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach, specifically in understanding the perception of usefulness (Perceived Usefulness), ease of use (Perceived Ease of Use), and Attitude and Intention of Use (Attitude & Behavioral Intention). The method is a qualitative approach using interviews, observation, and documentation, with data analysis in NVivo 12 Plus and triangulation techniques to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings of this study indicate that acceptance of e-government through the implementation of E-Absensi by ASN in Siak Regency has been ongoing but remains in a transitional stage between administrative compliance and substantive adoption. The perception of usefulness (Perceived Usefulness) is strong, as ASN recognizes that E-Absensi can improve discipline, transparency, and work efficiency. However, the perception of ease of use (Perceived Ease of Use) still faces several obstacles, including limited system access, differences in digital literacy, and technical barriers that affect the user experience. As a result, attitudes and behavioral intentions are driven more by policy pressures and organizational obligations than by intrinsic awareness.

Abstract

This study explores the process of community empowerment in the development of community-based tourism in Manggar Baru Village, Balikpapan City, with the aim of understanding the dynamics of participation, identifying supporting and hindering factors, and analyzing its implications for sustainable local welfare. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires, observations, and documentation from local residents, members of Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis), and tourism stakeholders. The analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including correlation and regression, to examine the relationships between empowerment variables such as access to resources, leadership, social networks, and participation levels. The findings reveal that empowerment has encouraged local entrepreneurship, strengthened social cohesion, and fostered environmental awareness, yet remains constrained by limited financial capacity, bureaucratic rigidity, and unequal resource access. Overall, the study concludes that sustainable community-based tourism can only be achieved through participatory governance, inclusive policy support, and continuous capacity building that enhances community autonomy and resilience.

Abstract

This study examines the interrelation between political dynamics, institutional stagnation, and governance innovation within the formulation and evaluation of local policies, with a specific focus on the Flood Management Draft Regulation. The research aims to explore how political and bureaucratic structures influence policy coherence and the extent to which institutional mechanisms either facilitate or hinder adaptive reform. The analysis highlights that local policy processes are often dominated by political interests that restrict institutional flexibility, leading to procedural formalism and limited innovation. The substantive evaluation of the flood management regulation reveals that despite the inclusion of technical and preventive measures, the lack of interagency coordination and fiscal autonomy undermines policy effectiveness. The implications for local governance emphasize the importance of leadership vision, accountability, and participatory engagement as drivers of institutional transformation. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach combined with thematic analysis using the Miles and Huberman model, enabling an in-depth exploration of patterns, meanings, and relationships across policy documents, institutional behaviors, and governance practices. The findings suggest that sustainable governance innovation arises from the systemic alignment of political will, institutional learning, and evidence-based policymaking, positioning local governments as adaptive entities capable of addressing environmental and administrative complexities.

Abstract

This study examines the strategies, challenges, and collaborative efforts involved in fulfilling vegetation cover targets to support the achievement of the Land Quality Index (LQI) in Bontang City, an industrially dynamic region experiencing rapid urban growth. Using a qualitative descriptive research method, the study analyzes policy documents, spatial observations, stakeholder interviews, and secondary data to interpret how vegetation cover is managed and how governance practices influence land quality outcomes. The findings reveal that accelerated urbanization, industrial expansion, and shifting land-use patterns have contributed to fragmented vegetation cover and declining ecological connectivity across the city’s urban and peri-urban zones. Although government policies such as conservation zoning, green open space requirements, and industrial green buffer regulations formally support vegetation protection, their implementation remains inconsistent due to limited enforcement capacity, weak institutional coordination, and varied levels of compliance across stakeholder groups. The analysis also highlights significant disparities in stakeholder engagement, with farmer groups, environmental NGOs, and agricultural agencies showing high levels of involvement, while village governments and local communities demonstrate relatively low participation, indicating the need for improved environmental literacy and technical support. Results emphasize that the effectiveness of vegetation cover fulfillment and LQI improvement depends on cross-sector collaboration, ecological integration in spatial planning, and adaptive governance mechanisms. The study concludes that sustainable land management in Bontang requires not only strong regulatory frameworks but also more inclusive and coordinated stakeholder participation. A holistic, data-driven, and collaborative approach is essential for strengthening ecological resilience and ensuring long-term land quality amid ongoing urban and industrial development.
