Abstract

Package C equivalency education is a strategic non-formal education policy designed to provide senior secondary education access for citizens who are not served by the formal schooling system. This study evaluates the implementation of the Package C Equivalency Education Policy at the Non-Formal Education Unit Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar in Batudaa District, Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. The study addresses the gap between the policy objective of expanding equitable access to secondary education and the practical constraints found in local implementation. Using a qualitative evaluative case study design, the research applies the Context, Input, Process, and Product evaluation model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving program managers, tutors, learners, parents, alumni, and non-formal education supervisors. The findings show that the policy is contextually relevant to learners who face economic barriers, employment demands, age constraints, and limited access to formal schooling. However, input capacity remains insufficient due to limited tutor availability, inadequate andragogical competence, insufficient learning media, and learning modules that are not yet fully contextualized. The process dimension reveals inconsistent learning schedules, lecture-dominated instruction, weak adult-learning practices, and suboptimal monitoring. Product evaluation indicates positive outcomes in graduation, academic confidence, and access to administrative requirements for work or further study, but practical skills and socio-economic impacts remain limited. The study concludes that Package C policy implementation requires stronger socialization, tutor capacity development, contextual learning resources, flexible learning management, and local policy support to generate sustainable public value.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Central Papua One-Stop Service Information System (Sipersateng) at the Central Papua Provincial Secretariat as a model for administrative innovation in the New Autonomous Region (DOB). The main focus of the study is to explore how a region with extreme infrastructure limitations can leapfrog or institutionalize towards an agile and transparent digital bureaucracy. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to capture the dynamics of the transition from manual to digital systems. The results show that Sipersateng successfully reduced administrative process time by up to 60%. This success was driven by three main dimensions: institutional legitimacy through strong leadership commitment, technical resilience through offline-syncing features to address internet signal fluctuations, and significant changes in work culture. Adaptation strategies such as peer-mentoring methods for senior officials and mandatory policies through gubernatorial instructions proved effective in breaking down organizational cultural resistance. This study concludes that Sipersateng is not merely a technical tool, but rather a manifestation of Frontier Digital Bureaucracy that is able to mitigate the risk of maladministration and build public accountability in the newly formed province. This innovation demonstrates that geographic limitations are not a major barrier to achieving clean governance if supported by inclusive and adaptive system design. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the public management literature on digitalization in regions with high structural challenges.

Abstract

Kampung Batik Okra, located in Kranggan Urban Village, Bubutan District, Surabaya City, represents a community-based creative economy initiative officially inaugurated on 28 December 2022 by the Surabaya City Government. This study aims to analyze the facilitating role of the urban village administration in strengthening the creative economic capacity of residents through the batik industry, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors for community empowerment in Kampung Batik Okra. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Informants were purposively selected, encompassing village government officials, batik group administrators, artisans, and academic facilitators. The findings reveal that the urban village administration performs three principal facilitative roles: (1) facilitation of training and skill enhancement; (2) facilitation of market access and promotion; and (3) facilitation of multi-stakeholder partnerships. These roles contribute significantly to the strengthening of residents’ creative economic capacity, as evidenced by an increase in active artisans, product diversification, and expanded marketing networks. Nevertheless, limited human resource capacity within the village administration, inconsistent community participation, and restricted access to capital remain structural barriers requiring more systemic policy interventions. This research offers a conceptual framework of empowerment-based facilitating roles for urban villages, which may serve as a reference for developing creative economy villages in Indonesian urban areas.

Abstract

The Secretariat of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is a strategic institutional unit that determines the quality of local legislative function implementation. The implementation of good governance principles in this unit is a fundamental prerequisite for realizing a regional legislative institution that is accountable, transparent, and responsive to public needs. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and document review. Informants were selected through purposive sampling involving seven informants, consisting of the DPRD Secretary, three Heads of Division, one Senior Policy Analyst, one DPRD Member, and one representative of a monitoring institution. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that the implementation of good governance at the Secretariat of the Batam City DPRD remains at the developing stage, with a positive but not yet optimal improvement trend. The five dimensions of good governance examined—transparency, accountability, responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency, and participation—all show gaps between ideal regulatory conditions and actual implementation in the field. The main inhibiting factors include human resource competency mismatches, limited digital infrastructure, lengthy bureaucratic procedures, weak institutional coordination, and an organizational culture that is not yet innovation-oriented. Based on these findings, a four-pillar strategy for strengthening good governance is formulated: competency-based human resource capacity strengthening, acceleration of digital transformation, strengthening of coordination mechanisms and public participation, and organizational culture transformation. This study contributes to the development of regional legislative institutional literature, particularly studies on good governance in DPRD Secretariats in nationally strategic areas.

Abstract

This study to analyze the Data-Based Planning (DBP) is a policy designed to improve the quality of educational planning through the utilization of educational data. However, the implementation of this policy at the school level still faces various challenges related to human resources, organizational culture, and technical support. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Data-Based Planning through the utilization of the Education Report Card at SMP Negeri Satap Paccerakang, Luwu Regency. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, school operator, and school supervisor. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while the policy implementation analysis referred to George C. Edward III’s framework, which consists of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that Data-Based Planning has been implemented through the utilization of Education Report Card data in preparing school programs and the School Activity and Budget Plan (RKAS). Communication and coordination regarding the policy have been carried out, although teachers’ understanding of educational indicators remains varied. Supporting factors include developing human resource competence, policy support, technological infrastructure, and a growing data-driven organizational culture. Inhibiting factors include limited data literacy, resistance to change, technical constraints, and administrative dependency. The study concludes that the implementation of Data-Based Planning has been running adequately but requires strengthening in data literacy, technical assistance, and organizational support to optimize educational planning and improve school quality.
