Abstract

This article outlines a strategic maternal health campaign designed for rural Indonesia, addressing persistent gender-based barriers and inequalities in healthcare access. Based on Mahoney’s strategic communication planning model and assessed using the Truthfulness, Authenticity, Respect, Equity, and Social Responsibility (TARES) ethical persuasion framework, the campaign incorporates culturally meaningful narratives and participatory advocacy to encourage safe maternal practices. It aims to address Indonesia’s high maternal mortality rates, especially in remote areas, by connecting traditional birthing customs with modern medical care and fostering collaboration between midwives and traditional birth attendants. The campaign employs social movement framing theory to galvanise community support, utilising storytelling, local media, and interpersonal communication to engage various stakeholders, including religious leaders, village health workers, and family decision-makers. Based on gender and development theory, the study emphasises how decentralisation and strong social norms limit women’s independence and access to skilled care. It employs strategic messaging and inclusive methods, such as mobile health clinics, community posters, and village discussions to address structural and cultural obstacles. Ethical issues related to informed consent and narrative influence are addressed through respectful and honest communication. The article also encourages higher service utilisation, greater trust in midwives, and increased community engagement. This campaign provides an approach that can be replicated for ethical, gender-focused maternal health advocacy in low-resource areas, aiding Indonesia in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3.1.

Abstract

The advancement of e-government requires local administrations to provide digital public services that are both accessible and user-friendly. However, the quality of user experience is often overlooked, including in the case of Makassar City’s official website, makassarkota.go.id. This study aims to evaluate the usability of a website in delivering public services. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed through a survey of 100 productive-age residents of Makassar with prior experience using the website. The research instrument was developed based on Nielsen’s (1993) five usability dimensions: learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and user satisfaction. The findings revealed that the overall usability score was low at 44.16% (poor category). The lowest scores were recorded in the error and efficiency dimensions, reflecting frequent technical issues and inefficient navigation. These results highlight the need for improvements in website design and management to enhance the effectiveness, transparency, and public trust in digital service delivery. This study also contributes to the literature on usability in the context of local government in Indonesia and serves a reference for similar evaluations in other areas.

Abstract

Contemporary public administration has shifted from hierarchical, state-centric models toward multilevel and multicentric governance, in which authority is dispersed across governments, markets, civil society, and citizens. While citizen participation and co-production are central to legitimacy, inclusiveness, and public service performance, structural inequalities, power asymmetries, and coordination challenges frequently constrain meaningful influence, producing engagement that is often symbolic rather than substantive. Drawing on postinternationalist theory, this paper conceptualizes governance as a turbulent, fragmented, and overlapping system characterized by distant proximities, where interdependence coexists with unequal access to power. It examines how these dynamics shape citizen participation, highlighting how structural, relational, and digital inequalities mediate the translation of presence into influence. The analysis integrates empirical examples from diverse governance contexts to illustrate the risks of co-optation and agenda capture and identifies drivers and barriers of substantive participation. Practically, the paper offers guidance for public managers, emphasizing heterarchical leadership, adaptive coordination, and the design of participatory mechanisms that ensure inclusiveness, accountability, and measurable public value. By linking theoretical insights on turbulence, fragmegration, and distant proximities with strategies for public administration, the paper reframes citizen engagement not as a bureaucratic add-on, but as a structurally conditioned determinant of legitimacy, innovation, and effectiveness in complex governance systems.

Abstract

Water governance in Indonesia faces increasing complexity due to urbanization, climate change, and regulatory fragmentation. Although water is a philosophical entity in sustaining life and development, its management continues to suffer from gaps between policy and field-level implementation. This study is urgent in light of the Job Creation Law (Omnibus Law), which has significantly amended sectoral regulations related to water resources, yet its impact on water resilience and sustainable development remains underexplored. The objective of this research is to evaluate how the Omnibus Law influences water governance, particularly in balancing social, economic, and environmental sustainability. A qualitative approach is employed, using document analysis, selected watershed case studies, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with multi-sector stakeholders. Findings reveal that the Omnibus Law promotes centralization of authority, simplifies licensing procedures, and encourages private sector involvement, but risks weakening environmental safeguards and widening inequalities in water access. Key recommendations include the need for a more inclusive and adaptive policy framework, stronger intersectoral coordination, and active community participation in watershed management as a strategy to achieve long-term water resilience.

Abstract

This research explores the challenges faced by Manobo tribes in accessing social services and recognition within society. Through a qualitative approach using interviews, this study listens to people from a marginalized community in Barangay Ilomavis to understand their everyday lives. It highlights their struggles with social exclusion, securing a livelihood, managing finances, accessing sufficient food, and obtaining healthcare and education. The findings show that people are excluded from society in many ways. What keeps them disadvantaged is the combined effect of poverty, culture, and the place where they live. Even though government and non-government organizations try to help by offering services and aid, people still face ongoing difficulties in getting basic needs and opportunities. Beyond these challenges, the study shows that people want to improve their own lives and their community, especially through real improvements in roads, facilities, education, and healthcare. This study adds to the understanding of socio-economic realities faced by vulnerable communities and offers implications for policy makers, local government units, NGOs, and future researchers. Through these definitions, the study leverages on notions such as the Manobo Tribe and marginalized community and lived experience to further social justice discourse and equity in diverse contexts.

Abstract

The escalating imperative for resilient infrastructure in developing economies often competes with fiscal constraints, necessitating innovative financing models such as Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). While extensive literature examines the economic impact of new toll road construction, empirical evidence regarding the economy-wide valuation of non-toll road preservation remains scarce. This study investigates the national economic repercussions of the South Sumatra Eastern Highway preservation project, Indonesia’s inaugural non-toll PPP initiative, employing a rigorous Input-Output analysis updated to 2023. By integrating Keynesian multipliers with Hirschman’s unbalanced growth theory, the research quantifies the project’s capacity to catalyze sectoral linkages. The findings reveal that the preservation investment generates a total output multiplier of 1.76, creating substantial employment opportunities, primarily within the construction sector. Furthermore, the analysis uncovers significant compulsive backward linkages, where the preservation activities actively stimulate upstream industries, particularly manufacturing and wholesale trade, despite these sectors not receiving direct investment. These results challenge the perception that maintenance projects yield lower economic returns than new construction. This study provides a robust justification for expanding PPP schemes in asset preservation, demonstrating that strategic maintenance is not merely a cost but a potent driver of intersectoral economic growth and structural development.
