Abstract

The review of Government Agency Performance Reports (LKjIP) conducted by the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) is a crucial instrument for ensuring the quality of public sector performance accountability. However, in practice, the implementation of LKjIP reviews is not always followed by substantive improvements in performance reporting quality. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of LKjIP reviews by APIP in Pekanbaru City using the CIPP Evaluation Model (Context, Input, Process, Product). The study adopts a qualitative evaluative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and limited observation. Informants were purposively selected from APIP officials and relevant stakeholders involved in the preparation and utilization of LKjIP. Data analysis was conducted interactively by categorizing findings according to the CIPP dimensions. The results indicate that, normatively, LKjIP reviews have been implemented in accordance with applicable regulations and have produced Review Result Reports as a form of limited assurance. Nevertheless, in terms of context, input, process, and product, the implementation of LKjIP reviews has not fully contributed to substantive improvements in performance accountability. Organizational readiness gaps, variations in APIP competencies, limitations in performance data quality, and weak follow-up mechanisms were identified as key factors constraining the effectiveness of the review process. This study concludes that a gap remains between normative compliance and the substantive impact of LKjIP reviews.

Abstract

Complete basic immunization is a health policy that is important for reducing morbidity, disability, and mortality rates among children under five caused by diseases preventable through immunization. However, immunization coverage at the primary healthcare service level still shows fluctuations and disparities due to the lack of parental knowledge, trust in the benefits, and fear of the effects of basic immunization. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the complete basic immunization program policy for children under five at the Polak Pisang Community Health Center, Indragiri Hulu Regency. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving ten informants. Data analysis was carried out interactively by referring to George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation framework, which includes communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results showed that policy implementation had not been optimal, as indicated by uneven policy communication, limited resources and vaccine distribution, and suboptimal coordination among implementers, which impacted the low and fluctuating achievement of complete basic immunization coverage.

Abstract

This study examines the supervision of official vehicle usage at the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of West Sumatra Province within the framework of regional asset management. Although regulatory provisions mandate monitoring and control, the implementation of supervision remains predominantly administrative and has not yet functioned as an operational control system. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological perspective. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the DPRD Secretariat, the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency, the Inspectorate, and DPRD leadership. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while analysis followed the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that supervision has not been carried out effectively due to the absence of technical standards, the lack of performance-based evaluation mechanisms, and weak corrective actions. Supervision is limited to inventory recording, maintenance reporting, and tax administration without monitoring operational use, usage frequency, or accountability of users. Furthermore, the absence of periodic reporting obligations and audit indicators prevents early detection of misuse. Consequently, supervision has not yet contributed to improving transparency and accountability in regional asset management. Strengthening operational standards, evaluation systems, and institutional follow-up mechanisms is necessary to transform administrative supervision into a comprehensive managerial control system.

Abstract

The implementation of multi-hazard disaster risk management policies at the local government level often encounters various constraints that affect policy effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the inhibiting factors in the implementation of multi-hazard risk management policies in Bukittinggi City. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, using interviews, observations, and documentation techniques, and analyzed through George C. Edward III’s policy implementation model. The findings indicate that the primary constraints include the absence of specific local regulations governing the multi-hazard approach, limited institutionalized coordination among local government agencies, insufficient human resource capacity and budget support, and inconsistent policy communication across institutions. In addition, the predominantly reactive orientation of policy implementation has hindered the integration of disaster risk reduction programs. These findings demonstrate that implementation constraints are multidimensional and require institutional strengthening and cross-sectoral policy integration to improve the effectiveness of disaster risk management at the local level.

Abstract

This study examines public accountability in the management of urban street food with a case study of Madani Street Food in Pekanbaru City. This research is motivated by the lack of information transparency, the absence of a public clarification mechanism, and the absence of evaluation and corrective actions. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews with selected key informants, including street food vendors and Koperasi Primkopkar 0301 Pekanbaru. Data analysis consists of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using Mark Bovens’ public accountability theoretical framework, which emphasizes four dimensions: informing, justification, questioning, and consequences. The results show that public accountability in the management of Madani Street Food is still weak and has not been systematically institutionalized. Information regarding management mechanisms and financial arrangements is not clearly conveyed to vendors, decision-making is not accompanied by adequate explanations, space for public clarification is very limited, and there is no evaluation and sanction mechanism. These conditions indicate that accountability practices remain administrative rather than substantive. Strengthening public accountability mechanisms is important to improve governance performance and realize fair, transparent, and sustainable urban street food management.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the principle of good governance, which holds that communication plays a vital role for both the government and the public in conveying information and fostering dialogue to encourage public participation. The government implements two-way communication through the use of social media, which facilitates dialogue and feedback from the public. The objective of this study is to analyze the communication process from the government to the public. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were obtained from scientific databases such as Scopus and analyzed using Biblioshiny software to identify publication trends, international collaborations, keywords, communication networks, and the evolving relationships between topics in the scientific literature. The research findings indicate that the government’s communication model regarding the use of Instagram to disseminate information has experienced both improvements and setbacks over the past seven years, with the study revealing that social media has emerged as a platform for communicating on health issues, crisis communication, and public policy. This study shows that the government, as a communicator conveying information via the social media platform Instagram, has not yet been fully effective; its dissemination of information remains focused on one-way communication and has not yet created opportunities for the public to participate.

Abstract

Public street lighting (PSL) is a critical component of public services in the transportation infrastructure sector, directly impacting the safety, security, and comfort of the community. However, its implementation is often hampered by budget constraints, limited human resources, and weak maintenance and periodic monitoring mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the role of the Transportation Agency in improving public street lighting services for the community of Agam Regency and to identify the challenges faced in its implementation. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, involving officials from the Agam Regency Transportation Agency and residents as informants. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The research results indicate that the Transportation Agency's role has not been optimally fulfilled, as reflected in three aspects: as a motivator, facilitator, and conflict manager. Major obstacles include budget constraints resulting from the central government's efficiency measures, a lack of infrastructure, a shortage of competent human resources in electrical engineering, and the impact of weather on field operations. This study highlights the need for reforms in street lighting management through institutional capacity building, enhanced collaboration between the government and the community, and the development of technology-based monitoring systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the LLDIKTI Region X strategy in strengthening the quality assurance of private university study programs in Padang City. The main problem raised is the discovery of study programs with unaccredited status, expired accreditation, and inequality in quality achievement in the midst of budget limitations, human resources, and national policy dynamics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation, and is analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results of the study show that the implementation of the strategy is carried out through mentoring programs, technical guidance, policy socialization, and accreditation readiness facilitation. However, the implementation has not been optimal due to budget limitations, lack of continuous monitoring and evaluation, low participation of private universities, and limited number of facilitators. However, there is an increase in the number of study programs with Excellent and Very Good ratings in the 2023–2025 period. This study concludes that the LLDIKTI Region X strategy has been running in accordance with the policy direction, but requires strengthening the aspects of evaluation, collaboration, and resource optimization so that the strengthening of quality assurance of study programs in Padang City can be achieved more effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Cirebon–Semarang (CISEM) Phase 2 Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline development, identify the challenges encountered, and formulate improvement strategies. The project is designated as a National Strategic Project and plays a crucial role in integrating gas infrastructure across Java Island to support national energy security and energy transition. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation framework, which consists of six key variables. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants, field observations, and document analysis, and were examined using the interactive analysis technique. The findings indicate that policy standards and objectives have been comprehensively understood as a national priority with clearly defined technical targets. Financial support from the State Budget amounting to IDR 2.7 trillion and the use of Horizontal Directional Drilling technology serve as major supporting factors. However, implementation faces several challenges, including inter-agency bureaucratic fragmentation, differences in technical procedures, local political dynamics, limited initial technical data, and delays in high-specification material procurement, resulting in a 2–3 month schedule deviation. Overall, implementers demonstrate strong commitment, and the project positively impacts the local economy. The study recommends strengthening institutional coordination through a cross-sectoral task force to ensure project completion by March 2026.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the organizational innovation ecosystem as a determinant of sustaining innovation in the SmartEdu digital public service at the Padang Panjang City Education and Culture Office. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through in-depth interviews and documentation. This study involved 17 informants consisting of the Head of the Office, Division Heads, office staff, school principals, school operators, and parents. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that the sustainability of SmartEdu is determined by the synergy of four strategic factors within the innovation ecosystem: leadership commitment manifested through budgetary support and active oversight; a tiered innovation ecosystem with a strong legal foundation; the capacity and willingness to innovate through the collective strengthening of human resources; and the application of the “Think Like a Corporate University” principle through continuous evaluation and knowledge sharing. This research implies the need to institutionalize the innovation ecosystem within regional policies as a guarantee of the sustainability of responsive, inclusive, and accountable digital public services.
