Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political socialization strategy implemented by The Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) through the innovative program KPU Goes to Car Free Day in increasing public political participation in the 2024 presidential election. The background of the research is based on the urgency of increasing public awareness and involvement in elections, especially in socio-politically complex urban areas such as Jakarta. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews with three main informants, namely members of the DKI Jakarta KPU, researchers from Perludem, and community representatives. The results showed that this program is effective in shaping the political attitudes and behavior of citizens, transferring democratic values, and introducing political guidelines and principles in a communicative and participatory manner. However, the evaluation results also revealed the need for continuity and deepening of the substance of political education so that the values instilled are not superficial or temporary. This Program is considered successful in increasing community participation quantitatively, but its long-term effectiveness requires the support of a more reflective, inclusive, and sustainable political socialization strategy. This research provides an important contribution in strengthening the practice of electoral democracy through an interactive public space-based political socialization approach.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Pulo Sarok Village Government in Aceh Singkil Regency in managing village funds to support fishermen's empowerment from a public policy perspective. The main focus is to analyze the effectiveness of implemented policies and the challenges encountered in the allocation and utilization of village funds, including limitations in human resources, constrained budgets, and low technological literacy among local fishermen. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of relevant policies. The findings indicate that although village funds are distributed regularly, their implementation remains suboptimal due to weak inter-agency coordination, limited oversight from the regency government, and low levels of community participation. Economic empowerment efforts have yet to show a significant impact on improving the fishermens welfare. This study highlights the importance of transparency in fund management, the strengthening of local human resource capacity, and synergy between village and regency governments to create sustainable policies that support the fisheries sector and the livelihoods of fishermen in Pulo Sarok Village.

Abstract

Sustainable water management remains a global challenge, especially in ensuring equitable access to clean water and sanitation. This research utilizes the PRISMA model and bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer to identify trends, major clusters, and gaps in the literature. The novelty of this study lies in the comprehensive bibliometric approach, which not only identifies research trends but also highlights critical gaps in policy effectiveness as well as public engagement in water and sanitation management. The results show that, despite various global efforts, governments are still unable to effectively address water management challenges, especially in ensuring equitable access to clean water and sanitation. In addition, the lack of public awareness of the environment is a significant obstacle. This research contributes to the existing literature by presenting a structured analysis of scholarly contributions, identifying key research clusters, and offering policy recommendations to bridge the gap between governance and community engagement in water sustainability efforts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of political dynasties in Indonesia occurs not only at the national level but is also deeply rooted at the regional level, providing space for local elites to establish and sustain hereditary power This study aims to analyze the interaction between dynastic politics and bureaucratic processes in regional governments through the lens of good governance principles, particularly transparency and effectiveness. A systematic literature review was employed, incorporating meta-synthesis and meta-analysis of previous findings related to the impact of political dynasties on local governance and financial management. VOSviewer was utilized as an analytical tool to identify research trends, typologies of political dynasties, and their implications. The findings indicate that political dynasties may hinder bureaucratic professionalism and neutrality, while also diminishing public trust in institutions. However, the implementation of transparent information systems, such as the regional financial management agency (BPKAD) websites, enables more effective public oversight, despite challenges related to human resource capacity and technological infrastructure. The study highlights the need for stakeholder collaboration to enhance bureaucratic performance and e-governance implementation in dynasty-dominated regions.
