Abstract

Parking levy management is an important component of local revenue governance because it contributes to locally generated revenue. However, conventional cash-based collection systems continue to face governance challenges, including revenue leakage, delayed reporting, and limited monitoring capacity. This study analyzes the implementation of a parking levy policy innovation through a Virtual Account payment system integrated with the Regional General Treasury Account (RKUD) in Malang City and identifies the factors supporting and constraining its implementation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The participants consisted of the Head of the Transportation Agency, the Head of the Parking Management Division, field supervisors, official parking attendants, and parking service users selected through purposive sampling. The analysis draws on the perspectives of policy innovation and digital governance to explain how digital payment transformation strengthens accountability and local revenue governance. The findings indicate that the Virtual Account system transaction traceability, strengthened monitoring mechanisms, enhanced administrative order, and reduced opportunities for revenue leakage. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited performance evaluation, continued reliance on manual field supervision, and uneven compliance among parking attendants. The findings demonstrate that the digitalization of parking levy collection strengthens local revenue governance, although improvements in evaluation and supervisory mechanisms remain necessary.

Abstract

Tongke-Tongke Mangrove Forest, located in Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi, is an ecotourism destination that offers natural tourism and environmental education. However, it is not yet at an optimal level of management. This study aims to formulate a comprehensive Ecotourism Governance approach for the management of the Tongke-Tongke Mangrove Forest to strike a balance among conservation, local-scale economic empowerment, and tourist destination competitiveness. The research uses qualitative methods with a comparative study. Interviews, documentation, observation, and focus group discussions were used in data collection. Data analysis was conducted using coding techniques and triangulation in NVivo 12 Plus for data visualization to ensure the validity and reliability of the research findings. The study indicates that Tongke-Tongke Mangrove Forest ecotourism management is still constrained by several key factors, such as a lack of infrastructure, limited local community participation, poor coordination among stakeholders, and low levels of environmental awareness, which ultimately lead to suboptimal ecosystem conservation and tourism experiences. Moving forward, to contextualize this gap, the implementation of ecotourism governance is proposed through an integrated approach comprising infrastructure upgrading, community empowerment, stakeholder coordination strengthening, and adaptive monitoring mechanisms based on the environmental concerns from a sociocultural perspective in order to achieve mangrove conservation towards improving community welfare along with sustainable tourism destination development.

Abstract

Indigenous tourism villages currently face a dilemma between local economic growth and the potential for excessive cultural commodification. Kemiren Village represents a unique sociological resilience anomaly amidst the dynamics of the modern economy, but still maintains the existence of their Osing culture. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in Kemiren Village, specifically focusing on how each actor mobilizes embedded resources to build a hybrid governance system amidst the expansion of tourism in modern era. This qualitative descriptive-analytical study uses a social constructivism paradigm by examining the social capital of each actor. Data were collected through participant observation, archival documentation, and semi-structured interviews with 6 key informants during the field research period in June 2026. The findings were systematically analyzed based on the framework of Nan Lin's Social Capital and W. Richard Scott's New Institutionalism. The concept of Nan Lin Social Capital in Kemiren Traditional Village does not operate as an egalitarian communal bond, but rather embodies embedded resources through a Hybrid Governance structure, integration of formal state tourism administration with indigenous normative laws. The network's location in villages provides systematic differential access and marginalizes marginalized actors. Interview data revealed that elite groups, such as BUMDes and Pokdarwis, monopolize and control the flow of tourist guests, while the confessions of MSME actors in the outlying areas (Kemiren Etan) confirmed that they were alienated from access to the tourist market. To mitigate this conflict of inequality, village actors implemented Hybrid Governance, a hybrid of modern bureaucracy, adherence to village regulations, and customary sanctions. This approach was validated by informants' testimony regarding the collective fear of Buyut Cili's ancestral curse, which proved effective in disciplining residents and tourists from consuming the Tumpeng Sewu dish before the sacred prayer at the mosque was completed. Despite this and amidst the pressures of mass commodification and cultural festivalization, the resilience of the Osing tribe's civilization remains strong through adaptive resistance strategies, successfully defending against the monopoly of global market capital flows. This study extends Nan Lin's theory and modifies Scott's Institutionalism by proving that social capital inequality actually underlies the birth of hybrid institutions that protect tradition. They pragmatically tolerate bureaucratic imbalances while using hybrid governance as an institutional safety net to strictly protect their sacred ancestral philosophy.

Abstract

These case studies explore how facilitative leadership helps build collaboration in “Dana Asri Sejahtera,” a Village-Owned Enterprise in Wonoasri Village, Jember Regency, using information from people who were selected for specific reasons—including the village head, the business manager, local community members, local partners, and an expert in the field of local and regional economy—which was put together by interviews, observations, and analysis of documents, and reviewed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, with triangulation to check the information. The research findings reveal five related leadership mechanisms—dialogue, building trust, consultation, understanding, and conflict mediation—in the village head’s efforts to build a collaborative network by connecting public authority, and academic knowledge into a collaborative network, making it easy to scale up services like small loans, market stalls, and payments, which in the end leads to more participation and higher village income. How well this works, though, has a lot to do with internal factors like human skills, communication, and trust, as well as external factors like policy support, partnerships, academic networks, and economic opportunities. We conceptualize the facilitative leadership of villages as a type of collaboration infrastructure that transforms the participation of multiple actors into the capacity for action, based on the idea that in order to make things work, we need to build systems for evaluation, partnerships, and the distribution of leadership that go outside of individual leaders.
