Abstract

The Batak Toba ethnic group in Pala Pulu Village serves as the focal point of this study due to its deep-rooted cultural and social capital dynamics. Political brokers play a crucial role as mediators between candidates and the community. While brokers are often perceived as being driven solely by material interests, this is not always the case. Thus, how do brokers interact with electoral processes among the Batak people in their homeland? This study aims to illustrate the complexity of brokers' involvement in securing electoral victories. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the findings indicate that Putnam's (1993) concept of social capital remains essential for garnering votes. Clan affiliations function as social networks, and trust cultivated over time serves as a significant asset in the village head election contestation among the Batak Toba people in Pala Pulu Village. Meanwhile, money politics still exists but is no longer a dominant or alarming factor, as public awareness and knowledge have significantly improved. In practice, brokers continue to be involved in village politics. However, in Pala Pulu Village, brokers now act as assemblers—constructing networks of new brokers for broader political contestations. This phenomenon is closely linked to the upcoming regional elections in 2024.  Keywords: village head election, the batak toba, political contestation, political broker, electoral strategy

Abstract

Land capability class assessment is important to determine land characteristics as a basis for land management to minimise land damage. This research aims to determine the land capability class as a direction for soil conservation. The data analysis used to classify the land capability class is the Scorring method. The results showed that the land capability in Merdeka Village was generally good. This is because the land in Merdeka Village has high land parameters and small land class boundaries so that it can be utilised with intensive land cultivation. The main indicator in determining land class is slope/topography. Merdeka Village has 4 (four) land capability classes. Class I (AIUc, AIIUc, AIBu) can be managed very intensively with the application of vegetative and chemical conservation. Class II (AIIIUc, AIVUc, AIIBu, and AIISs) is managed with limited intensive with the application of vegetative and mechanical conservation. Class III (AVUc, AIVBu, AIIIHz, AIIHz) is managed on a limited basis with intensive application of mechanical and vegetative conservation. Class IV (AIVHz, AVHz) is managed under a grazing system with vegetative conservation. Mechanical soil conservation is in the form of planting in the direction of contour lines, terracing, and drainage. Vegetative soil conservation in the form of crop rotation, use of mulch, ground cover plants, and enrichment of forestry plants. Chemical conservation in the form of fertilisation/ liming. The conservation measures taken on land units in each land capability class tend to be different, this is mainly influenced by different slopes and land use. With soil conservation, it will provide relatively maximum results in sustainable land management efforts. As for land conservation efforts, it needs the role of various stakeholders, especially the local government in planning, monitoring and evaluation, and further research. Keywords: Land Capability Class, Scoring Method, Soil Conservation.

Abstract

Direct regional head elections began on June 1, 2005, allowing people to elect their own regional leaders. Provincial, Regency, and City Election Commissions are given the authority to organize direct regional elections and are accountable to the DPRD. Overall, the implementation of direct regional elections demonstrates Indonesia's commitment to strengthening people's sovereignty and implementing democratic principles. The regional election disputes in Pematangsiantar City and Karo Regency in 2015 and 2020 demonstrate the complexity of local political dynamics. The dispute in Pematangsiantar City began when the KPU disqualified one of the candidate pairs in the 2015 regional election, causing delays and dissatisfaction that continued until the 2020 regional election. Meanwhile, in Karo Regency, the 2015 and 2020 regional election disputes included allegations of campaign violations and vote manipulation, which were brought to the Constitutional Court but did not change the final results. These disputes reflect the challenges in implementing local democracy and the need for improvements in dispute resolution mechanisms to maintain integrity and public trust. The research method used is the normative-empirical legal research method. The data collection method uses literature study and interviews. This research is a qualitative research. Analysis is carried out on data from preliminary studies or secondary data. Qualitative data analysis during the field uses the Miles and Huberman Model analysis, namely data reduction, data models, drawing/verifying conclusions. In this qualitative research, data analysis has been carried out simultaneously with the data collection process. The recommendation of this research is that all elements, both society, government, NGOs, tribal leaders, must work together to realize elections with integrity. because elections with integrity are not only seen from the results but the process/stages must also have integrity.

Abstract

Gunungrejo Village is predominantly inhabited by residents who work as farmers and, on the other hand, it has a potential natural tourism object. This research aims to analyze the perception of the village government and its communities regarding development policy of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUM Desa) in the tourism sector. This study is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected based on purposive sampling method. The research shows that the government has chosen the tourism sector as the new engine of growth. The village residents generally comply with this decision. However, those who are part of the farming community hope that the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUM Desa) can contribute more to the agricultural sector.

Abstract

The implementation of developmentalism-orientated has resulted in social exclusion. A new development approach is needed to bring about social inclusion. This paper aims to examine the health service policy of the “Brigade Siaga Bencana” of Bantaeng Regency Government in 2008-2018. It seeks to analyse the policy innovation using a sociological perspective and Midgley's (2014) conception of social development. This research uses data obtained through literature study. The data are in the form of reports and research results from government and non-government institutions, scientific articles on social development and social policy, and news articles that discuss the Bantaeng District Government's “Brigade Siaga Bencana” policy. The findings of this study show that the Bantaeng District Government's “Brigade Siaga Bencana” health service policy is an inclusive social development effort. This policy provides increased and equitable access to health for vulnerable groups. Through the programme, maternal and infant mortality rates were reduced. The innovation took place within a decentralised structure, where local governments have the authority to develop the region according to local priorities, urgency and potential. Decentralisation requires participatory and collaborative governance to drive the social development agenda. The social development agenda through health services focuses on providing and protecting the basic rights of citizens. The implementation of the policy shows a transformation; from social exclusion to social inclusion in the health sector. This innovation can work through the collaboration of the state, private and civil society sectors. On the other hand, the policy has not encouraged empowerment, so the policy tends to be carried out in a populist manner. The policy depends on the populist leader's agenda, which aims to strengthen political position. The implication is that the policy is not sustainable.  Keywords: innovation, inclusive social development, Brigade Siaga Bencana, Bantaeng

Abstract

This study aims to describe the substance and implementation of the regional loan policy in South Buton Regency. Data were collected through interviews, observations and document review. Data were analyzed interactively starting from data collection, classification, reduction to conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Regional Loan Policy of South Buton Regency had a clear policy substance. The policy objective is to develop port and health infrastructure to improve public services in the field of sea transportation and improve health services which are also expected to increase the achievement of local revenue in the future. The main policy implementers are the Department of Transportation and the South Buton District Hospital.  The stages or process of the South Buton Regency Regional Loan are carried out based on clear processes and stages starting from the district government level, the Southeast Sulawesi provincial government, to the central government through the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. In its implementation, there are still some findings of weaknesses in both administration and physical work in the application of the principle of obeying the rules and regulations, the principle of accountability and the principle of prudence. This is indicated by the many addendums to the budget ceiling due to planning errors and also the many findings of the Supreme Audit Agency on financial reports related to activities sourced from regional loan budgets. There were also cases of loan principal defaults due to a shift in budget allocation from the original allocation of loan principal repayment funds to activities that became the aspirations of the regional head. The performance indicators of the regional loan policy are problematic in the three aspects assessed, namely the deadline, the physical output of work and non-physical in this case including the activity implementation report. The causes are first, planning errors in the early stages at the Transportation Agency. Keywords:  implementation, policy, regional loan

Abstract

This study aims to examine the comparative export values of key commodities between Central Sulawesi Province and West Sulawesi Province in the context of global trade. Both provinces are located in the same region, namely Sulawesi Island, and are geographically adjacent. However, they possess distinct economic characteristics and leading sectors, as reflected in the main commodities they export to international markets. This research uses secondary data obtained from various official sources, such as publications by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), relevant government institutions, and credible online sources. The method employed is a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on export data over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022. The data are analyzed and presented in tables and graphs to provide a clear illustration of trends and comparative export values between the provinces. The findings reveal that Central Sulawesi Province has a comparative advantage in Iron and Steel commodities, which account for approximately 65% of the province's total export value. In contrast, West Sulawesi Province demonstrates a dominant export in Animal or Vegetable Fats and Oils, contributing 90.62% of its total exports. In terms of value, the average exports of Central Sulawesi during the study period reached US$ 9,927 million, significantly surpassing West Sulawesi’s average of only US$ 502 million. These findings highlight a significant difference in export structure and economic potential between the two provinces in the landscape of global trade.
