Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of priority distortion in village-level public budgeting in Indonesia, with particular attention to how the Village Fund policy is translated into local development programmes. Although participatory budgeting mechanisms through Village Deliberation Forums (Musyawarah Desa) have been institutionally and procedurally implemented, a persistent discrepancy often emerges between community aspirations and the final budget allocations adopted by village governments. This study aims to analyse the dynamics of the village budgeting process and to identify the factors shaping budget allocation priorities within the broader context of village governance. A mixed-methods approach employing a sequential explanatory design was adopted in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. The quantitative phase involved a community survey to identify citizens’ development preferences and an analysis of Village Revenue and Expenditure Budgets (APBDes). The qualitative phase consisted of in-depth interviews, observations of village deliberation forums, and a process-tracing approach to examine how citizens’ aspirations were transformed throughout the budget cycle. The findings reveal a substantial gap between community needs and actual budgetary outcomes. Survey results indicate that rural communities consistently prioritised agricultural development (88.9%) and education (72.2%) as their most pressing development needs. However, budget allocations within the APBDes were predominantly directed towards physical infrastructure and territorial development projects. This distortion is driven by local power dynamics, whereby the authority of village heads and the influence of supra-village governmental agendas frequently exert greater influence on final budgetary decisions than the outcomes of citizen deliberations conducted through participatory forums. The study concludes that the effectiveness of participatory budgeting should not be assessed solely through procedural compliance or the formal existence of participatory mechanisms. Rather, it should be evaluated based on the extent to which fiscal allocations genuinely reflect and respond to the substantive needs and priorities of local communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internalization of the values contained in Akhlaqul Lil Banin Volume I as an effort to prevent bullying behavior among students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Ushuluddin Singkawang. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving guidance and counseling teachers, the vice principal for curriculum affairs, subject teachers, and seventh-grade students. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the internalization of Akhlaqul Lil Banin Volume I values was carried out through classroom learning, teacher role modeling, habituation of madrasa culture, and the integration of moral values into daily religious activities. The values internalized included respect for teachers, proper speech etiquette, humility (tawadhu'), discipline, empathy, responsibility, and mutual respect. The internalization process contributed to positive behavioral changes among students, as reflected in improved self-control, more constructive social interactions, and a reduced tendency toward verbal and social bullying within the madrasa environment. This study concludes that the internalization of Akhlaqul Lil Banin Volume I values serves as an effective preventive strategy in shaping students' character and fostering a safe, harmonious, and religious educational environment.

Abstract

Government vehicle disposal in Indonesia is primarily conducted through auction mechanisms aimed at optimizing non-tax state revenue (PNBP), ensuring transparency, and improving administrative efficiency. However, from a green economy perspective, this approach may unintentionally prolong the operational life of aging vehicles with high carbon emissions, thereby contributing to environmental degradation and undermining national sustainability goals. This study aims to analyze the implications of government vehicle disposal policies on green economy objectives, compare Indonesia’s practices with those implemented in the United States, Germany, and Japan, and formulate policy recommendations for a more sustainable disposal system. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using literature review, policy analysis, and comparative analysis of regulations and disposal practices across selected countries. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s disposal policy remains largely focused on fiscal and administrative considerations, whereas developed countries have integrated circular economy principles through vehicle recycling, environmental impact assessments, emission monitoring, and low-emission disposal systems. The study recommends a hybrid disposal model that combines auctions for environmentally compliant vehicles with mandatory recycling for high-emission vehicles, alongside the integration of environmental criteria into disposal regulations and the allocation of auction revenues to support clean energy transition programs. Such measures are expected to balance fiscal objectives with environmental sustainability and climate commitments.

Abstract

The development of rural areas based on the nature-based tourism in the mountainous area of ​​Kendeng, Somagedhe District is a strategic for the local community. The natural potential with their exotic scenery in the area is possible to be developed as an alternative to rural tourism destinations. Village development by improving natural tourism in this village is intended to support the economic growth of the local community. Attempts to realize this idea have also been carried out in several ways, such as coordinating with all stakeholders, community leaders and consulting with tourism experts. Development efforts have begun, there are still facing several challenges including: there is still a lack of skilled personnel to manage tourism, there is lack commitment among stakeholders including from local village government leaders, low quality of tourism infrastructure such as access roads and parking areas. Behind these limitations, there are actually very open opportunities for the Kendeng mountain region as an exotic and interesting tourist destination to be developed, especially for the economic development of the local community.

Abstract

The transformation of higher education governance in Indonesia requires universities to deliver student-centred educational services that emphasise both academic excellence and meaningful learning experiences. Pancasila courses, as part of the compulsory national curriculum mandated in Indonesian higher education, play a strategic role in fostering civic values, national identity, and character development while simultaneously functioning as educational public services. However, empirical studies examining the quality of Pancasila learning services from a higher education governance perspective remain limited, particularly in vocational higher education institutions. This study aims to analyse the quality of Pancasila learning services at Pontianak State Polytechnic from students' perspectives. This study employed a quantitative, descriptive research design with 80 students from eight academic departments, selected through proportional representation. Data were collected through a SERVQUAL-based questionnaire encompassing five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Descriptive statistical analysis was utilised to interpret students' perceptions of learning service quality. The findings show that students perceive the overall quality of Pancasila learning services positively, identifying empathy as the most prominent dimension, followed by responsiveness, assurance, reliability, and tangibles. The findings show that relational dimensions, especially lecturer-student interaction, responsiveness, and sympathetic engagement, contribute more considerably to perceived service quality than physical facilities. These outcomes support the perspective that educational service quality is co-produced through the interactions between lecturers, as service providers, and students, as active service users. This study adds to public management theory by repositioning Pancasila learning from a traditional knowledge-transmission model toward a student-oriented educational paradigm for public service delivery. From a governance perspective, the findings highlight the need for higher education institutions to strengthen accountability, responsiveness, student participation mechanisms, and continuous quality assurance systems, as part of broader higher education governance reforms. The study shows that Pancasila education should be viewed not solely as a regulatory obligation but as a strategic instrument to advance student-oriented governance and improve public service performance in vocational higher education institutions.

Abstract

This research aims to discuss the effectiveness of Presidential Regulation No. 126 of 2022 concerning the acceleration of national salt development to overcome Indonesia’s dependence on salt imports in 2022-2024 period. The regulation was designed to increase home production of salt to secure the country’s supply and cut reliance on imports. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review method through the analysis of policy documents, the official statistics of Statistics Indonesia and Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and relevant literature. The analysis is based on the public policy framework developed by Thomas R. Dye, which includes the steps of problem identification, agenda setting, policy formulation, policy legitimacy, implementation, and evaluation. The results suggest that the regulation was developed through a comprehensive policy process consistent with Dye’s framework. However, the policy was not associated with a significant reduction in salt imports over the study period, even though it was systematically designed and implemented. These results imply that a good policy process cannot realize policy objectives without better implementation and domestic production capacity enhancement. The study contributes to the public policy literature by showing the importance of linking policy formulation with implementation outcomes. Future studies should incorporate primary data from relevant government institutions for a more holistic assessment of policy effectiveness

Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the effectiveness of local government expenditure across nine functional categories on poverty levels in Indonesia, highlighting spatial heterogeneity between urban and rural areas. The research employs panel data from 33 provinces over the 2015–2024 period (excluding DKI Jakarta as an outlier), sourced from the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK) and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), analyzed using Random Effects GLS regression based on the Hausman test. The results reveal a very high rho value (0.956 in urban areas and 0.979 in rural areas), confirming the dominance of structural heterogeneity across provinces. In urban areas, public service and health expenditures proved most effective in reducing poverty, whereas economic and social protection expenditures showed a significant positive relationship with poverty, indicating targeting errors and a social protection trap phenomenon. In rural areas, health expenditure exerted twice the impact compared to urban areas, while tourism and cultural expenditure emerged as an effective inclusive fiscal instrument. The study concludes that the effectiveness of local expenditure is context-dependent and cannot be applied uniformly, requiring differentiated fiscal strategies between urban and rural regions to achieve more targeted poverty alleviation.
