Abstract

The integration of disruptive technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), has pushed public administration towards smarter governance. However, local governments in Indonesia still face capacity and digital gaps in implementing digital transformation. Studies on organizational readiness for AI comprehensively impact digital service innovation in the local public sector, but they are still limited. This study aims to assess the level of AI Readiness (AIR) and Digital Public Service Innovation (DPSI) in Indonesian local governments, as well as empirically analyze the influence of AIR on DPSI. The study uses an explanatory quantitative design. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale. The study population consists of local government officials handling data management, information technology, digital transformation, and public services. A total of 100 respondents were selected using purposive sampling.  The descriptive analysis results show that both Artificial Intelligence Readiness and Digital Public Service Innovation are at a high level in local governments in Indonesia. Furthermore, the simple linear regression analysis confirms that Artificial Intelligence Readiness has a positive and statistically significant impact on Digital Public Service Innovation, indicating that the higher the organization's readiness to adopt AI, the higher the level of digital public service innovation produced. These findings provide empirical validation for the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capability Theory, with the sustainability of public sector innovation heavily relying on strengthening the organization's internal capabilities, including technology infrastructure, human resource competencies, strategic leadership, and data governance.

Abstract

Tourism in Bali Province faces a critical turning point where macroeconomic growth frequently clashes with environmental carrying capacity and social justice. This study evaluates tourism governance policies in Bali by examining multi-sector impacts, public narratives, and strategic development frameworks. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study first analyzed 20 purposively selected online news articles (2025–2026) using Robert Entman’s framing analysis to map public discourses regarding governance failures and socio-ecological crises. These secondary findings were then empirically validated and triangulated through a survey of 30 Balinese youth respondents across urban/southern and buffer zones, supplemented by in-depth qualitative interviews with community youth leaders. The analysis reveals a pronounced policy decoupling between formal regulations (such as Regional Regulation No. 5/2020 and the Foreign Tourist Levy) and field enforcement, resulting in an acute groundwater crisis, rampant conversion of subak agricultural land, spatial gentrification, and socio-cultural friction. The empirical survey strongly corroborated media narratives, particularly regarding land unaffordability (96.6%) and non-transparent ecological tax governance (93.3%–96.6%). To address these structural failures, this article delineates an analytical pathway toward a Green Growth framework, proposing a strict moratorium on southern accommodation permits, mandatory earmarking of tourist levies for subak preservation, and youth-led digital governance anchored in Tri Hita Karana.
