<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the graft and corruption practices among selected public officials in southern Philippines. The study is qualitative in nature making use of case study method in which an indepth analysis of primary data obtained from eight informants, four of whom are town mayors and their four incumbent municipal treasurers, is employed. The findings revealed that the mayor informants got elected through vote buying and bribery. Politics and family matters intersect as informants are supported by their families during election who used guns, gold and goons to ensure election victory. The clannish nature of the community finds expression also in the selection of relatives in municipal employment and in accessing municipal resources. The most prevalent corruption practice disclosed by the informants is amassing the internal revenue allotment (IRA) for personal purposes in order to recover the huge amount of money spent during election. Other types of corruption practices also include falsification of documents, nepotism, bribery, kickbacks, and evasion of public bidding. These public officials also do not seem to perform official duties in their towns as they live outside of their municipalities. Interagency involvement of corruption among different government agencies in the areas studied are also uncovered. Moreover, the perceived negative effects of corruption are manifested in the poor delivery of the community’s basic social services in health, water supply, education, and security protection. Corruption also adversely affects the construction of community infrastructure facilities and the establishment of an equitable and solid economic base. The study has implications to the strict policy implementation of the provisions of the 1991 Local Government Code of the Philippines, The AntiGraft and Corrupt Practices Act, and other pertinent laws in order to improve the transparency, integrity and accountability of public officials not only in southern Philippines but also in the entire country.]]>

<![CDATA[This study attempts to explore the involvement in graft and corruption among elective barangay youth officials in a city in Southern Philippines. Using a qualitative research design employing a case study method, 10 informants were included in this study and were selected using snowball sampling technique. The findings indicated that the informants were aware of the forms of graft and corrupt practices stipulated in the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act in the Philippines (RA 3019) and other legal documents. However, despite this, most of them admitted to have been involved in any of the following irregular acts while in public service: malversation of public funds, evasion of public bidding in the purchase of supplies and equipments, forgery, bribery, making ghost projects and payrolls, abuse of powers, among others. It was known also that corruption was caused mainly by bureaucratic dysfunctions especially in the delay of budget releases and political socialization with older and corrupt barangay officials who passed on the techniques of corruption to the young leader informants. The policy implications of the study demands further strengthening of governmental structures and processes that would ensure observance of good governance among public officials both at the barangay (local) and national levels.]]>

<![CDATA[This study will examine the implementation of Jamkesmas (Jaminan Kesehatan Masyarakat-Health Insurance Scheme for People) and Jamkedsa (Jaminan Kesehatan Masyarakat Daerah-Health Insurance Scheme for Local People). Both are innovative policies in term of health financing, since they reflect more the spirit of insurance compared to the previous policies which were merely about financial aid. However, these policies do not reflect the ideals of policy coordination. Several theoretical reviews about social health insurance are applied to figure out the spirit of Indonesian health insurance sociologically and culturally. The Colebatch’s framework of vertical and horizontal dimensions of policy is used as the main tool of analysis for measuring whether both Jamkesmas and Jamkesda are categorized as coordinated policies or not. Qualitative research approach is used as the method in order to gain in-depth information about the current polemic of Jamkesmas and Jamkesda implementations. Qualitative analysis method is applied during the process of analysis. The secondary data will be collected, sorted, coded and analyzed. Those several steps aim to cross check the validity of each data for answering the research questions. The result of this study shows that Jamkesmas and Jamkedsa lack of coordination during the process of policy making which has led to complicated problems at the implementation stage namely: the lawsuit/multiple interpretations of the law, unstructured policy stages at the vertical level, complicated problems at horizontal stages and conflict among institutional governments. Moreover, the nature of policy coordination in Indonesia is still reactive. This fact causes policy inconsistency which has the effect of law uncertainty and poor quality of public services.]]>

<![CDATA[The introduction of Business process Reengineering (BPR) to the public sector follows the much broader trend of New Public Management. BPR in the public sector mostly means amalgamation of business processes, computerization of various activities and removal of some unnecessary ones. BPR assimilates a radical premeditated scheme of business process reengineering and an additional progressive technique of uninterrupted process improvement with adequate information technology (IT) and e-business infrastructure strategies. Public organisations have specific and exclusive features that differentiate them from private sector organisations. Based on the literature review and examining of study findings, it is argued that a public sector organisation can employ BPR to get better its process and overall organisational performance, if it (1) has accrues a collection of BPR-relevant resources and capabilities; (2) has embarked on BPR with adequate depth and breadth; (3) is developing a post-BPR complementary set of skills, systems and technologies, which are essential to further develop the organisational impact of the BPR; and (4) has successfully mitigated the effects of BPR implementation problems. In addition to its effect on administration and service delivery processes through reduction of the processing time, work steps and cost of government processes, BPR also contributes to enhancing citizen/customer and employee satisfaction, increasing organisational transparency and responsiveness which have also become an essential objective of New Public Management. Therefore, public sector BPR is emerging as an indispensable to performance o f organisations in the developing economy. The essential questions addressed in this paper are: What are the scenario and impending problems of reengineering applications in the public sector? Can it be functional for the public sector in attending to frequent problems blockading bureaucracies of developed and developing countries uniformly? What are the implementational vulnerabilities faced by public sector while deploying BPR.]]>

<![CDATA[Development-Axes (DA) theory , is a theory which is originally stated by Pottier (1963), and restated by Hilhorst (1972) as well as stated as an alternative growth theory (Paelinck and Nijkamp, 1975, 1978; Richardson 1978, 198, 2011) in explaining the existance of nodes or centers along development axes and the end-point cities (Richardson, 1978,1981). or prime center or growth pole (Hilhorst, 1972) connected. Some of the real evidences of the implementation are the growing of many cities along highways in America, along Grote Postweg road in Indonesia, and in many other countries. So it can be said that the theory is significance as development strategy in the world, especially in making place from transport-stop node which has role as infant settlement to be larger settlement (maybe as town or city in the future) along development axes. This paper focuses on seeking theoretical explanation as new understanding about how the the growth of transport-stop node (as one of the local nodes) along DA that is influenced by the flow of people & goods along the axis. We found that the growth cannot be explained by resource-based growth theory alone and neither other conventional theories of city growth. In fact, not all transport-stop node along DA could have same growth wheter the flow of people and goods are equal along the DA. Based on the observation and in-depth interview as well as questionaire, we found that the growth of transportstop node is initiated by the existance of transport facility or service at development axes.We also found that the growth of transport-stop node has five stages of growth and the “attractiveness” as the significant factor to the growth of transport-stop node to be lager settelement. We argue that the implication of the explanation to the policy is usefull in decentralized era in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[E-procurement is an important intrument to prevent corruption in goods and services procurement budget. Indonesia has been implementing the e-procurement project since 2008 based on Presidential Decree.

<![CDATA[Environmental issues are externalities of economic development requires the handling of various instruments in order to be in harmony with the eco[1]nomic development environment. Payment for Environmental Services (PES) is now being developed globally as a market-based instrument that is promising to address the issue of degradation of natural resources and the environment. PES mechanism has to be said that the concept is simple and flexible in a variety of conditions, so that the application was highly variable throughout the world. The main problem lies in whether the Payment for Environmental Services (PES) that is now being developed globally as a market-based instruments are quite capable of dealing with poverty and degradation of natural resources and the environment. Refer to research finding shows that Tawang Polder has significant direct and indirect value for society. About 50% household stated that they accept PES and 20% who reject the PES. Even PES is quiet potential in reducing poverty in these areas. Even in the society level such as huge support in Polder systems, social capital and local wisdom, the system management of polder should be designed appropriately and have to increase the level of participation in decision making. Another factor is also important is polder institution which has to be design clearly and transparent based on performance standart. The last factor is politic capital should be aware of democratization.]]>
