Abstract

This study examines how strategic public management capability and digital governance capability contribute to MSME resilience through the mechanism of public value co-creation. Although digital transformation has become a central agenda in public sector reform, limited empirical attention has been given to how public institutions convert digital capability into tangible resilience outcomes for small and medium-sized enterprises. Drawing on dynamic capability theory and public value theory, this study proposes an integrated model linking strategic capability, digital governance capability, public value co-creation, institutional trust, and MSME resilience. The study is designed using a quantitative explanatory approach, with data collected from MSME actors who have participated in local government support programmes. The data may be analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling to test both direct and indirect relationships among the constructs. The expected contribution of this article lies in developing a management-oriented model for public sector institutions seeking to strengthen economic resilience through digital governance and collaborative value creation.

Abstract

The transition toward low-carbon urban energy systems has increasingly positioned smart grids as strategic infrastructures for sustainability, efficiency, resilience, and public service innovation. However, the implementation of smart grids is not merely a technical matter of deploying sensors, smart meters, distributed energy resources, artificial intelligence, and digital control systems. It is also a governance challenge involving public legitimacy, institutional coordination, social equity, data protection, citizen participation, affordability, and the creation of public value. Many urban communities, particularly low-income and digitally marginalized groups, may experience the smart grid transition unevenly if policy design prioritizes technological optimization while neglecting distributional justice and procedural inclusion. This article develops a conceptual policy framework for smart grid governance that links electrical engineering innovation with public value creation and equitable energy transition. Using an integrative conceptual review, the study synthesizes literature on smart grid governance, energy justice, public value governance, smart city governance, and digital energy systems. The result is the proposed Equitable Smart Grid Public Value Framework, consisting of five interrelated governance pillars: equity-centered infrastructure planning, participatory energy governance, accountable data governance, adaptive regulatory capacity, and resilient public service delivery. The framework argues that smart grids should be governed not only as intelligent technical networks but also as public value infrastructures that must improve fairness, affordability, transparency, resilience, and citizen empowerment. The article contributes to interdisciplinary debate by integrating electrical engineering, public administration, energy policy, and urban governance perspectives. It also offers practical implications for local governments, utilities, regulators, and urban planners seeking to ensure that smart grid modernization supports a just and inclusive energy transition.

Abstract

Equitable access to essential medicines is a central requirement of universal health coverage, yet it remains a complex governance challenge in many middle-income countries. In Indonesia, the expansion of Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN), the implementation of the National Formulary (Fornas), and the use of electronic procurement mechanisms have strengthened the institutional architecture of pharmaceutical policy. Nevertheless, persistent regional disparities, supply-chain constraints, procurement rigidity, and uneven local implementation capacity suggest that medicines access cannot be understood only as a technical issue of price, stock, or logistics. It is also a public governance issue involving legitimacy, accountability, coordination, equity, and public value creation. This article develops a conceptual policy framework for analysing pharmaceutical governance as a mechanism of public value creation in Indonesia. Using an integrative literature-based policy analysis, the study synthesises scholarship on access to medicines, health-system governance, public value theory, and Indonesian pharmaceutical policy. The article proposes the Pharmaceutical Public Value Governance (PPVG) Framework, consisting of seven interdependent dimensions: ethical priority-setting, evidence-based formulary governance, strategic purchasing, supply-chain resilience, quality assurance, citizen-centred accountability, and intergovernmental data coordination. The framework argues that equitable access to essential medicines is achieved when pharmaceutical systems transform public resources and regulatory authority into collectively valued outcomes: availability, affordability, quality, trust, responsiveness, and social justice. The article contributes to public administration and pharmaceutical policy by reframing medicines access as a public value problem and by offering a policy framework for strengthening equity-oriented pharmaceutical governance in decentralised health systems.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a central agenda in contemporary public administration, particularly in decentralized and special autonomy regions where the legitimacy of government is closely linked to responsiveness, transparency, and the capacity to deliver inclusive public services. Aceh, Indonesia, offers a significant case for examining how digital participatory governance can contribute to public trust and public value creation within a special autonomy setting. This article develops a conceptual and policy-oriented framework for understanding the relationship between digital participation, collaborative governance, public trust, and inclusive service delivery in Aceh. Using a qualitative desk-based research design, the study synthesizes international literature on public value governance, collaborative governance, co-production, digital government, and trust in public institutions, supported by policy documents related to Indonesia’s Electronic-Based Government System and Aceh’s special autonomy context. The article argues that digital governance should not be reduced to the technical modernization of administrative procedures. Instead, it should be understood as a political-administrative process through which citizens, local communities, civil society, and public institutions co-produce public value. The findings identify four interrelated dimensions of digital participatory governance in special autonomy regions: institutional responsiveness, transparent information ecosystems, inclusive citizen engagement, and adaptive service integration. These dimensions form the basis of the proposed DPTI Framework: Digital Participation, Public Trust, Transparency, and Inclusion. The article concludes that digital transformation in Aceh will generate stronger public value only when supported by institutional legitimacy, participatory policy design, digital inclusion, and accountable local governance. The study contributes to government science and public administration by linking digital governance with special autonomy, trust-building, and public value creation in a post-conflict decentralized region.

Abstract

This article examines Brazil–Indonesia climate cooperation as a strategic model of South–South governance among tropical forest countries. Both states occupy pivotal positions in global climate politics because of their extensive biodiversity, large land-use sectors, growing economies, and shared demand for climate justice within the Paris Agreement. Using a qualitative policy analysis of national climate commitments, diplomatic agendas, and contemporary debates on forest governance, the study argues that cooperation between Brazil and Indonesia should move beyond symbolic solidarity toward an implementation-oriented framework. The proposed framework contains five mutually reinforcing pillars: forest and land-use governance, Nationally Determined Contribution implementation and transparency, climate finance and investment diplomacy, low-carbon productive transformation, and just transition with social inclusion. The analysis shows that Brazil’s renewed ecological transformation agenda and Indonesia’s long-term low-carbon development strategy create complementary opportunities for policy learning, technical exchange, and joint advocacy in international negotiations. However, effective cooperation requires stronger institutional coordination, credible emissions data, safeguards for Indigenous peoples and local communities, and financial mechanisms that reduce the asymmetry between climate ambition and domestic development constraints. The article contributes to climate governance scholarship by conceptualising tropical sovereignty not as resistance to global norms, but as a basis for credible, equitable, and development-sensitive climate action. It concludes that Brazil–Indonesia cooperation can strengthen the political voice of the Global South while producing practical pathways for deforestation reduction, green industrialisation, and socially legitimate climate transitions across emerging economies facing similar ecological and fiscal vulnerabilities today globally.

Abstract

Municipal solid waste management has become one of the most urgent environmental governance challenges in rapidly urbanising countries. In Indonesia, this challenge is not only technical but also administrative, fiscal, behavioural, and institutional. National targets for waste reduction and waste handling have encouraged local governments to move beyond conventional collect-and-dispose systems, yet implementation gaps remain visible in collection coverage, source separation, recycling markets, landfill dependence, informal-sector integration, and data reliability. This article develops a policy-engineering framework for strengthening circular waste governance in Indonesian municipalities. It argues that municipal waste reform requires the integration of environmental engineering tools, polycentric public administration, community participation, and circular economy indicators. Using an integrative literature and policy review, the paper synthesises global waste management debates, Indonesian regulatory directions, and socio-technical transition theory. The analysis identifies five interdependent dimensions of circular municipal waste governance: institutional coordination, engineered infrastructure, data and performance metrics, community-based participation, and market-based circularity. The paper finds that circular waste systems cannot be achieved through infrastructure investment alone. They require local governments to redesign incentives, align responsibilities across administrative levels, standardise waste data, strengthen waste banks and community organisations, professionalise informal recovery networks, and connect engineering decisions with public accountability. The article contributes to public administration and environmental engineering by proposing a practical framework that can guide municipal planning, policy evaluation, and future empirical research.

Abstract

Jakarta’s urban water crisis is not only a problem of infrastructure deficit but also a problem of governance transition. Despite ongoing efforts to expand piped water services, a substantial share of urban households continues to rely on groundwater, generating environmental risks, social inequality, and long-term threats to urban sustainability. This article examines how Jakarta governs the transition from groundwater dependence to sustainable urban water services through the lens of transformative governance. Drawing on a qualitative case study, the article analyzes policy documents, institutional arrangements, and stakeholder perspectives to assess five governance capacities: diversity, connectivity, polycentricity, redundancy, and directionality. The findings show that the transition is constrained by fragmented authority, uneven coordination across levels of government, limited integration between groundwater control and piped water expansion, and weak long-term strategic alignment. At the same time, emerging efforts in network expansion, regulatory reform, and institutional coordination indicate partial movement toward a more adaptive governance model. The article argues that sustainable urban water transition in Jakarta requires more than technical service delivery; it requires institutional reconfiguration, stronger cross-scale learning, and a clearer public direction toward water justice and resilience. By extending transformative governance to the study of urban water transitions in the Global South, this article contributes to debates on sustainability transitions, environmental governance, and equitable infrastructure transformation.

Abstract

Smart grids are increasingly promoted as a strategic response to the challenges of energy reliability, urban resilience, renewable energy integration, and digital public service transformation. However, most discussions of smart grids remain dominated by technical concerns, including automation, advanced metering infrastructure, artificial intelligence, distributed energy resources, communication protocols, and grid stability. While these engineering dimensions are essential, they are insufficient to explain whether smart grids can generate sustainable public value. Smart grids are not merely electrical systems equipped with digital technologies; they are socio-technical public systems that involve institutions, regulations, citizens, private vendors, data governance, accountability mechanisms, and public administration capacity. This article develops a socio-technical governance framework for integrating electrical engineering innovation with public administration reform. Using an integrative literature and policy synthesis, the article examines the relationship between smart grid technology, digital government, institutional coordination, responsible artificial intelligence, data protection, and citizen-centred public service delivery. The results identify four interrelated governance dimensions: technical infrastructure governance, institutional and regulatory governance, data and algorithmic governance, and citizen-centred public value governance. The discussion argues that smart grid implementation requires a shift from technology deployment to governance transformation. Governments and utilities must develop interoperability standards, transparent procurement systems, privacy safeguards, algorithmic accountability, inter-agency coordination, participatory mechanisms, and public value indicators. The article concludes that smart grid innovation can strengthen public administration reform when technical excellence is embedded in accountable, inclusive, adaptive, and citizen-centred governance arrangements.

Abstract

Urban sanitation is not only a technical service but also a question of public policy, social justice, and democratic governance. This article examines environmental justice in urban sanitation policy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by assessing access, governance, and infrastructure gaps across the city. Although Rio de Janeiro has relatively high aggregate indicators for water supply and sewerage coverage compared with many Brazilian municipalities, these averages may conceal significant inequalities affecting low-income communities, favelas, peripheral neighbourhoods, and residents exposed to environmental health risks. Using a qualitative case-study design, this article analyses secondary data from national sanitation indicators, the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan for Water and Sewerage of Rio de Janeiro, census-based information on favelas and urban communities, legal documents, and academic literature on environmental justice and sanitation governance. The findings suggest that Rio de Janeiro’s sanitation challenge is best understood as a multi-dimensional justice problem. First, access indicators have improved, but service regularity, water losses, sewerage quality, affordability, and local infrastructure conditions remain uneven. Second, governance has become more complex following regionalised concessions and the coexistence of multiple operators and regulators across planning areas. Third, infrastructure deficits are spatially and socially concentrated, especially in informal settlements and peripheral zones where sanitation, drainage, housing, and environmental risks overlap. The article argues that environmental justice requires more than expanding networks. It requires transparent monitoring, territorial prioritisation, social participation, affordability safeguards, and integrated planning between sanitation, housing, drainage, public health, and climate adaptation. The study contributes to public administration and environmental engineering debates by showing that equitable sanitation policy must bridge technical infrastructure with institutional accountability and recognition of vulnerable urban populations.

Abstract

Smoke-free policies are essential for protecting non-smokers from second-hand tobacco smoke, especially in health service facilities. Despite South Tangerang City Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2016, compliance in health facilities remains uneven. This study analysed the implementation of the smoke-free area policy at Cirendeu Public Health Centre, Pisangan Public Health Centre, and Sari Asih Ciputat Hospital. A descriptive qualitative design combined interviews, observation, and document review involving 15 informants, including occupational health and safety coordinators, staff members, smoke-free task-force officers, and visitors. Data were interpreted using Edward III’s policy implementation framework, covering communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings showed that the facilities had established core administrative components, including internal staff socialisation, designated task-force personnel, no-smoking signs, and operational references to local regulations. However, implementation gaps remained. Communication with visitors and surrounding communities was not systematic; responsibilities and procedures for sanctions and enforcement were unclear; and community participation was largely limited to passive reporting. Implementers expressed commitment to the policy, while the absence of formal incentives may constrain sustained motivation and proactive enforcement, although this relationship requires further empirical examination. Overall, the policy was institutionally established but incompletely operationalised in public communication, enforcement authority, monitoring, and participation. Strengthening visitor-focused communication, clarifying sanctioning authority, conducting routine monitoring, supporting implementers, and creating participatory reporting mechanisms may improve compliance and protect patients, staff, and visitors from second-hand smoke exposure.
