Abstract

The low activation rate of the Digital Population Identity (IKD) remains a challenge in the digitalization of population administration at the local level. In Tangerang City, IKD activation reached only 2.06% (28,173 users) in 2023 and increased to 4.45% (62,364 users) in 2024, which is still far below the national target of 25%. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the IKD program in Tangerang City using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation model, which includes the aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving policy implementers as well as IKD users and non-users. The findings indicate that communication among policy implementers has functioned relatively well; however, public communication remains uneven and has not been able to enhance public understanding and trust. Human resources, facilities, and technological support are considered adequate, but transparency regarding personal data security remains a major weakness. The disposition of implementers reflects positive attitudes, yet it has not produced a meaningful impact on increasing public participation. The bureaucratic structure has supported implementation through clear coordination, although it has not been strengthened by specific local standard operating procedures. The novelty of this study lies in the finding that the low level of IKD activation is more strongly influenced by limitations in policy communication and low public trust in data security rather than by technical factors alone.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of social assistance programs at the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of Corrections within the East Java Regional Office of the Directorate General of Corrections using the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation model. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection through interviews with structural officials and implementing officers at Correctional Technical Implementation Units, documentation studies, and policy reviews. The analysis focuses on six implementation variables, namely policy standards and objectives, resources, characteristics of the implementing organization, inter-organizational communication, implementer disposition, and social, economic, and political conditions. The results show that the implementation of social assistance programs has been active in most UPTs, mainly through the utilization of local potential and integration with inmate rehabilitation programs. However, implementation still faces obstacles in the form of the absence of standard operating procedures, budget constraints, variations in the determination of target recipients, and weak vertical communication between the UPT and the regional office level. These findings indicate that the implementation of social assistance programs in correctional facilities tends to be a local initiative and has not been institutionalized in policy. Therefore, more operational derivative policies, strengthened coordination, and integration of recipient data are needed so that social assistance programs can be implemented consistently, sustainably, and on target.
