Abstract

Findings indicate that while the implementation of the "3 in 1 Duka Cita" service has generally been effective in easing administrative burdens for grieving families, several obstacles remain. These include limited human resources, coordination challenges across departments, and inconsistent communication to the public. Despite these challenges, the dedication of front-line staff and simplified service mechanisms contribute significantly to service success. The research also reveals that employee performance is influenced by internal motivation, availability of resources, and clear job descriptions. The study concludes that while the initiative aligns with public service improvement goals, continuous monitoring, capacity building, and public education are needed to enhance overall performance and sustainability. This research contributes to understanding how integrated services in civil registration can be optimized through focused performance evaluation and organizational improvements.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the strategic management of raw water sources at the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) Tirta Hidayah in Bengkulu City using a SWOT analysis approach. The availability of clean water is a critical component for public health and sustainable development. However, water quality degradation due to pollution and climate change poses significant challenges for public utilities like PDAM. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research gathers data through direct observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that PDAM Tirta Hidayah possesses notable strengths, such as the application of modern water treatment technologies, adherence to health regulations including the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023, and a professional operations team. Nevertheless, several weaknesses persist, including limited treatment capacity, inconsistent water quality, high operational costs, and pollution of the Bentiring River, which is the primary water source. Opportunities for improvement lie in adopting advanced water processing technologies, fostering public-private partnerships, and increasing community awareness regarding water conservation. However, external threats such as climate variability and inadequate infrastructure remain pressing issues. Based on the SWOT analysis, a comprehensive strategic plan is recommended to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of raw water management in Bengkulu. These strategies should address both internal shortcomings and external risks while leveraging existing organizational strengths and market opportunities. This study contributes to the broader discourse on public sector water governance and offers actionable insights for policymakers and utility managers.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Instagram social media management strategy used to enhance the institutional image of KP2KP Bintuhan through the @pajakbintuhan account. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with three key informants and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the Instagram management strategy follows Luttrell's Circular Model of Social Media (SoMe) (2019), consisting of four stages: (1) Share, focusing on participation, connection, and trust-building; (2) Optimize, by listening to and learning from public feedback and engaging in authentic communication; (3) Manage, through media monitoring, real-time interaction, and quick responses to audience comments; and (4) Engage, involving internal and external stakeholders such as the head office in disseminating public information. This strategic approach has proven effective in enhancing the institution’s positive image in the public eye.
