Abstract

This study investigates strategies for improving social rehabilitation services for people with physical disabilities through technology-based approaches and family involvement at UPT Social Rehabilitation Bina Laras Pasuruan, East Java. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and documentation with rehabilitation staff, persons with disabilities, family members, and technology specialists. Findings reveal that integrating digital technologies—including mobile health applications, telemedicine platforms, and assistive devices—significantly enhances service accessibility and monitoring capabilities. Structured family involvement programs, encompassing psychoeducation sessions, home-based care training, and support groups, demonstrate substantial improvements in rehabilitation outcomes. Critical success factors include adequate technological infrastructure, staff digital literacy, family commitment, and inter-agency coordination. Challenges include the digital divide, resistance to technological adoption, and sustainability concerns. The research concludes that a hybrid model combining technology-enabled services with intensive family participation offers the most promising approach and recommends policy frameworks that institutionalise these innovations while ensuring equitable access across diverse beneficiary populations

Abstract

This study analyses the challenges of digitalising registration services at Primary Healthcare Facilities (Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama, FKTP) in East Java, including limitations in human resources, technological infrastructure, and public digital literacy, all of which affect the satisfaction of National Health Insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN) patients. Utilising the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology with the PRISMA approach, the study reviews literature from 2024–2025 sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, using keywords related to digitalisation, FKTP, and patient satisfaction. The analysis is based on the ADO (Antecedent, Decision, Outcome) framework. The findings identify three key factors: (1) Antecedents (human resource competence, infrastructure, digital literacy); (2) Decisions (human resource training, facility modernisation, public outreach); and (3) Outcomes (increased patient satisfaction through time efficiency and ease of access). The study emphasises the need to strengthen human resources, provide adequate infrastructure, and educate the public to ensure the sustainability of digital healthcare services at FKTPs in East Java.

Abstract

This research aims to develop an Integrative Conceptual Model of Public Services in Archipelago Characterized Regions through a study of multidimensional literature synthesis. The focus of the research is directed at four main dimensions, namely maritime infrastructure, adaptive legal frameworks, geography-based governance, and digital innovation, which interact with each other in forming an effective, adaptive, and sustainable public service system. The method used is qualitative research based on non-SLR literature review with a narrative-integrative approach according to the guidelines of (Winarno, 2020). A total of 15 national and international articles were analyzed using thematic coding and cross-dimensional synthesis techniques to identify patterns of interconnectedness between variables. The results show that maritime infrastructure is the foundation of service accessibility, adaptive legal frameworks ensure policy legitimacy and fairness, geography-based governance strengthens the effectiveness of decentralization, and digital innovation accelerates efficiency and public participation. The synthesis of these findings gave birth to a new conceptual framework called the Integrated Maritime Public Service Framework, which emphasizes the importance of synergy between physical, social, legal, and technological aspects of the archipelago. The conclusion of the study confirms that the paradigm of public service in the archipelago has shifted from a bureaucratic model to an integrative and collaborative approach based on Pancasila values. This research contributes to the development of public governance theory and provides a new direction for service policy in the Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

Digital transformation has emerged as a major catalyst for reform in contemporary public administration, reshaping how governments design, deliver, and evaluate public services. This literature review synthesizes key findings from international studies to map the dynamics of technological innovation and bureaucratic adaptation in the era of digital government. The results demonstrate that technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things accelerate administrative processes, enhance accuracy, reduce service costs, and strengthen transparency and accountability. However, the review also emphasizes that technological advancement alone is insufficient; the success of digital transformation depends on the capacity of public institutions to reorganize work structures, build digital competencies, and shift bureaucratic culture toward more adaptive and collaborative practices. Furthermore, digital participation platforms have expanded opportunities for citizen engagement, yet persistent digital divides—driven by socio-demographic disparities and unequal access to infrastructure—pose significant challenges to inclusive participation. The literature also reveals recurring barriers related to infrastructure readiness, cybersecurity, resistance to change, and limited digital literacy among public employees. Cross-country evidence from Turkey, Singapore, Italy, Iran, and the UAE shows similar transformation patterns, highlighting bureaucratic adaptation as a mediating factor between technological innovation and governance outcomes. Overall, this review offers an integrated conceptual understanding of digital transformation in public services and underscores the need for holistic strategies that combine technological investment, organizational reform, and inclusive governance to ensure sustainable and equitable digitalization.

Abstract

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is one of the main instruments of social protection policies in Indonesia that aims to reduce poverty through conditional social assistance. However, in its implementation, this program still faces various problems related to the accuracy of the aid distribution targets, especially in urban areas such as Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta. This study aims to analyze various problems in the distribution of PKH social assistance, assess their impact on the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, and identify strategies that can ensure targeted assistance. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with a case study method, through data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of PKH companions, Beneficiary Families (KPM), and village officials in Jagakarsa District. The results of the study show that although PKH has provided real benefits for most KPMs, its implementation is still constrained by inaccurate data, limited capacity of companions, low digital literacy, and weak coordination between agencies. On the other hand, targeted distribution of assistance has been proven to increase access to education and health, improve household economic conditions, and encourage behavioral changes towards independence. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed including strengthening the capacity of social companions, digitizing the distribution system, active community participation, and local culture-based empowerment education to ensure the long-term effectiveness of PKH in reducing poverty rates.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the Public Service Performance Gap at the Ponorogo Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub) in managing high-risk traffic assets, which stems from the failure to synergise Normative Governance with operational Public Asset Management (MAP). Utilising Edwards III's Policy Implementation Model and GG/NPS principles, the core finding indicates that synergy failure is mediated by a Reactive Bureaucratic Disposition. While Dishub adheres procedurally, asset maintenance is largely reactive—performed only after damage or public complaint—not preventive. This non-responsive attitude limits accountability to reporting outputs disconnected from physical service outcomes, leading to low service quality. The proposed substantive solution is to activate Community Involvement (NPS) as a key moderator, which is currently weak, by integrating Functional Participation into the agile MAP cycle. The research recommends an e-governance system with KPIs, where transparently integrated citizen reports automatically trigger work orders, creating external public accountability pressure that forces the reactive bureaucracy to act proactively.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Good Governance principles in passport and residence permit services at Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Bali. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research evaluates how digital transformation enhances transparency, accountability, efficiency, participation, and the rule of law in immigration services. Findings demonstrate that digital systems such as the M-Paspor application and the Integrated Residence Permit System have improved procedural transparency, reduced illegal levies, and strengthened public trust. Efficiency has increased through automation, which reduces processing times and human errors. Digital audit trails reinforce accountability by ensuring decisions are traceable and regulation-based. However, challenges exist in substantive accountability and responsiveness. Decision-making in non-standard cases lacks transparency, with limited explanation of the legal bases. Response times through formal channels such as hotlines often exceed standards due to lengthy cross-divisional coordination. Whilst digitalisation has brought significant improvements, further reforms are necessary to strengthen substantive accountability and responsiveness, thereby enhancing public trust and institutional legitimacy in accordance with good governance standards. Continuous improvements in integrated digital systems, staff training, and process streamlining remain essential for full compliance.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures for immigration services at TPI Tanjung Priok Port and examine its impact on service effectiveness in Indonesia's maritime sector. The research employed a qualitative approach to analyse the gap between formal SOP guidelines and on-the-ground practices, examining internal and external factors, including resource limitations, technological constraints, and inter-agency coordination issues. The findings reveal significant disparities that lead to both positive and negative discretion amongst frontline Immigration officers, influencing service consistency, efficiency, and transparency. Negative discretion results in procedural deviations that compromise reliability and potentially foster corruption, delays, and inefficiencies. In contrast, positive discretion emerges as adaptive responses indicating weaknesses in SOP design or infrastructure. The study concludes that enhancing frontline officers' competence, motivation, and accountability is essential for achieving desired outcomes, whilst integrating technological solutions such as digital documentation and real-time monitoring is vital for streamlined, transparent, and accountable procedures. Improving SOP adherence, coupled with better resource allocation and inter-institutional cooperation, can significantly reduce vessel turnaround times, lower logistics costs, and bolster maritime competitiveness. The research advocates for dedicated training programmes, supervisory systems, and technological innovations to ensure SOP compliance, minimise discretion-driven deviations, and promote accountability, thereby optimising maritime service delivery and supporting Indonesia's strategic maritime development objectives.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the implementation of digital innovation in passport services at the Class I Immigration Office Tanjung Perak as part of bureaucratic reform and Good Governance initiatives. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, to assess the successes and challenges of digital systems such as SIMKIM and M-Paspor. The findings reveal that digital innovation has successfully improved operational efficiency and generally provided transparency into costs and application status, whilst reducing queuing times and increasing service speed, thereby enhancing public satisfaction and trust in immigration services. However, the innovation has not fully addressed structural and cultural bureaucratic barriers, as field officers tend to become passive when systems experience errors or delays, struggling to provide detailed explanations about issues, which results in information ambiguity and potentially undermines procedural transparency and performance accountability principles. The study concludes that bureaucratic reform in the immigration sector requires internal cultural updates and enhanced human resource competencies to support comprehensive transparency and accountability. Digital infrastructure instability and officers' discretionary authority significantly influence the effectiveness of digital innovation. Whilst digital innovation offers substantial benefits in efficiency and transparency, its success depends heavily on strengthening systems, improving human resource skills, and fostering organisational cultural change, with continuous efforts essential for achieving effective, transparent, and accountable public service.
