Abstract

Indonesia's Social Forestry program provides conditional access to community-based management of state forests under state oversight and regulatory conditions. One of its key schemes, Hutan Desa designates village governments as formal managers through Village Forest Management Institutions (LPHD). This study examines implementation in Pesanggrahan Village, Batu City, where LPHD Mayangsari coexists with the long-established Forest Village Community Institution (LMDH). Prior Hutan Desa studies (Rakatama & Pandit, 2020; Sahide et al., 2020) have predominantly examined rural-district contexts. This research addresses this gap by examining implementation in an urban-administrative municipality structurally lacking a dedicated municipal forestry office‒an underexplored administrative context for social forestry policy. A descriptive qualitative approach with a single intrinsic case study design was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, field observations at the Tumpak Seruk Forest, and systematic document analysis. The analytical process operationalized content, discourse, and narrative analysis to decode actor strategies, rhetorical framing, and historical power configurations. Findings reveal that LPHD's formal legal recognition did not secure operational control in practice. LMDH retained stronger farmer loyalty due to decades-long patronage and clearer benefit-sharing. The Village Head responded by orchestrating joint activities—such as the November 2025 tree planting event that allowed both institutions to remain operationally visible rather than pursuing direct institutional confrontation. These findings suggest that implementation of village authority in social forestry is shaped not only by legal design, but also by institutional history, resource constraints, and the discretionary strategies of local actors.

Abstract

Online gambling has become a major public governance and cyber law enforcement challenge in Indonesia due to its links to social harm, illicit financial flows, and threats to digital order. This article examines how the Indonesian National Police, particularly the Directorate of Cyber Crime within the Criminal Investigation Agency, mobilizes strategic capability in online gambling enforcement and how these enforcement patterns can be interpreted through a public value lens. The study employed a qualitative document-based single-case design using 21 screened public documents selected from 35 sources related to the 2022–2025 enforcement period. The corpus included performance reports, institutional statements, regulatory and policy documents, task-force coordination materials, and public analytical sources. Data were analyzed using thematic document analysis, pattern matching, and explanation building. The findings identify five strategic capabilities: integrated digital intelligence, accredited digital forensics, inter-agency coordination, public participation and reporting reach, and adaptive legal-investigative capability. These capabilities contribute to economic protection, social protection, and digital ecosystem integrity through intelligence-driven enforcement, financial disruption coordination, public reporting and preventive education, and digital ecosystem stewardship. Economic protection emerged as the strongest dimension, while digital ecosystem integrity remained the most interpretive because it relied on proxy indicators rather than standardized measurement. The article concludes that online gambling enforcement in Indonesia becomes strategically meaningful when police capability is directed not only toward case handling but also toward broader public value creation.

Abstract

Representasi perempuan dalam lembaga legislatif merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam menilai kualitas demokrasi dan kesetaraan gender dalam sistem politik. Meskipun kebijakan afirmatif seperti kuota pencalonan perempuan telah diterapkan di Indonesia, keterwakilan perempuan dalam lembaga legislatif daerah belum selalu diikuti dengan distribusi kekuasaan yang setara dalam struktur kelembagaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dominasi maskulinitas dalam struktur kekuasaan DPRD Kota Cilegon serta implikasinya terhadap representasi gender dan proses pembentukan kebijakan publik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif melalui studi dokumentasi, analisis data sekunder, dan studi kepustakaan. Analisis penelitian menggunakan perspektif maskulinitas hegemonik yang dikemukakan oleh Raewyn Connell untuk memahami bagaimana relasi kekuasaan gender beroperasi dalam institusi politik lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun perempuan telah memperoleh keterwakilan dalam lembaga legislatif, distribusi jabatan strategis dalam DPRD Kota Cilegon masih didominasi oleh laki-laki. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan adanya reproduksi dominasi maskulinitas dalam struktur kekuasaan politik lokal yang membatasi akses perempuan terhadap posisi pengambilan keputusan. Dominasi tersebut juga berpotensi mempengaruhi dinamika pembahasan kebijakan publik, khususnya dalam hal keterwakilan perspektif gender dalam proses legislasi dan penganggaran daerah. Oleh karena itu, peningkatan representasi perempuan dalam lembaga legislatif tidak hanya memerlukan peningkatan jumlah perempuan yang terpilih, tetapi juga perlu diikuti dengan upaya memperluas akses perempuan terhadap posisi strategis dalam struktur kekuasaan politik.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of SIMASN implementation and employee competence on the effectiveness of personnel services at the Regional Civil Service and Training Agency of Garut Regency. The effectiveness of personnel services is a key indicator in the digital transformation of public administration at the local government level. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 44 respondents selected through a census technique. The variables were operationalized based on system quality, information quality, service quality, and system utilization for SIMASN implementation, as well as strategic, service execution, and interpersonal competencies for employee competence. The research instrument was tested for validity and reliability, and all items were found to be valid and reliable. The study adopted a cross-sectional design. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine both partial and simultaneous effects. The results indicate that SIMASN implementation (B = 0.441; p < 0.05) and employee competence (B = 0.501; p < 0.05) have a positive and significant effect on service effectiveness. Simultaneously, both variables contribute 82.8% (R² = 0.828) in explaining the variation in personnel service effectiveness. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of digital-based personnel services is influenced by the combined influence of information system quality and employee competence. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the integration of information system implementation and human resource competence in improving public service effectiveness at the local government level.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) policy implementation and food price monitoring on the perceived effectiveness of food price stabilization programs at the Food Security Agency of Garut Regency. A quantitative approach was adopted using a census method, involving respondents directly engaged in policy implementation and monitoring activities. Data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify partial and simultaneous effects. Results show that TPID policy implementation and food price monitoring simultaneously have a significant effect on perceived program effectiveness (significance value = 0.000), based on data from 56 respondents. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.758) indicates that 75.8% of the variation in perceived effectiveness is explained by these two variables, while the remaining 24.2% is attributed to factors outside the model. Partially, both variables significantly affect perceived program effectiveness, with TPID policy implementation showing a relatively stronger influence. The data used are perception-based, collected from implementers directly involved in policy and monitoring activities. Operational challenges—such as delays in real-time data input, limited monitoring system integration, and variations in implementer commitment—are interpreted as contextual factors contributing to the model's unexplained variance, rather than directly measured variables. This study underscores the importance of integrating effective policy implementation with reliable, real-time monitoring systems to enhance decision-making quality in maintaining food price stability. Practical implications include strengthening inter-agency coordination, improving reporting discipline, and optimizing real-time data systems for more responsive, evidence-based food price stabilization programs,

Abstract

This study discusses how ASEAN member states respond to the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine program in relation to the Southeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ) during the 2023-2025 period. Rather than treating AUKUS only as a military technology transfer, this study analyses it as a contested social object whose meaning differs across ASEAN states. Using an interpretive qualitative approach through document analysis, the study evaluates ASEAN and AUKUS policy documents, IAEA reports, selected policy studies, and peer-reviewed journal articles for their relevance to each country’s official stance and foreign policy orientation. The findings show ASEAN responses fall into three analytical categories: Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Myanmar are positioned as critical or rejector (with Myanmar treated as an inferred low-confidence case due to the absence of direct official statements). The Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam are categorized as conditional acceptors (with Vietnam also treated as an inferred case rather than a definitive official position). Thailand, Brunei, Laos, and Timor-Leste represent cautious neutrality or strategic silence. This study argues that ASEAN responses are shaped not only by material power distribution but also by strategic identity, threat perception, alliance orientation, normative commitment to the SEANWFZ, and ASEAN centrality. Theoretically, the study contributes to constructivist analysis by showing how nuclear-powered submarines become meaningful through regional identity and intersubjective interpretation. It also contributes to the scholarship on norm contestation by showing that AUKUS does not necessarily challenge the validity of SEANWFZ. However, it does contest how the nuclear-free norm should be applied to nuclear-powered but conventionally armed submarines.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the District Integrated Administrative Services (PATEN) in the Tarogong Kaler District Office, Garut Regency. Despite the policy's goal to bring services closer to the community, empirical data shows suboptimal effectiveness, indicated by a 78.4% service completion rate, delays, and a decline in the SAKIP predicate from BB to B. This paper addresses the research question of how the implementation of the Garut Regent's Regulation on the Delegation of Authority and employee performance influence PATEN effectiveness. The novelty lies in combining policy implementation parameters with employee performance metrics within the specific bureaucratic context of Tarogong Kaler. A quantitative descriptive-associative research design was employed. The population and sample consisted of 47 respondents (21 sub-district employees and 26 village apparatuses) selected through a saturation sampling (census) technique. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires, interviews, and observation, then analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 23. The empirical findings revealed that the variables are categorized as 'good'. The hypothesis testing demonstrated that the implementation of the delegation of authority policy and employee performance jointly exert a positive and sufficiently strong effect on PATEN effectiveness. Enhancing policy implementation and employee performance significantly increases PATEN effectiveness. However, field findings indicate that available budget support, employee work experience, and information regarding service times and costs are still suboptimal and require immediate management attention.

Abstract

The Indo-Pacific has become the primary arena of twenty-first century strategic competition, yet the comparative effectiveness of its regional security alliances remains underexplored. This study evaluates the effectiveness of major alliances and strategic partnerships — particularly the Quad and AUKUS — in responding to contemporary regional security challenges, using a qualitative comparative case study approach drawing on official policy documents, strategic reports, and academic literature. The findings reveal that these alliances have strengthened maritime domain awareness, military interoperability, intelligence sharing, and conventional deterrence. However, their effectiveness is constrained by divergent national strategic priorities, uneven institutional commitment, limited collective enforcement mechanisms, and concerns over regional inclusivity. While cooperation in maritime security, cybersecurity, and humanitarian assistance has grown, coordinated responses to grey-zone activities, economic coercion, and broader strategic competition remain limited. The study concludes that future Indo-Pacific security architecture must prioritize stronger policy coordination, institutional flexibility, and inclusive multilateral cooperation to effectively address the region's evolving security environment.
