Abstract

The Aceh Special Autonomy Fund (Otsus), granted after the 2005 Helsinki Agreement, was intended to accelerate development, reduce inequality, and strengthen regional governance. However, two decades of implementation reveal a paradox: despite large fiscal transfers, improvements in welfare remain limited. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of stakeholders in the management of the Aceh Otsus Fund using Mendelow’s Matrix (1991). The research relies on secondary data from policy documents, reports, and academic studies to map actors’ levels of power and interest. The findings indicate that the Aceh Provincial Government and the Aceh Regional Parliament hold both high power and interest, placing them in the Key Players quadrant. Nevertheless, weak coordination between these actors has resulted in policy–implementation gaps. Meanwhile, the Central Government and the Supreme Audit Board act mainly as supervisors, exercising significant power but with limited direct interest in implementation, which reduces local effectiveness. Civil society groups and vulnerable communities remain marginalized due to the dominance of political elites and bureaucrats. The study concludes that strengthening transparency, enhancing community participation, and improving communication among stakeholders are critical for better fund management. Future research should adopt mixed-method approaches and conduct comparative studies with other autonomy regions to enrich analysis and policy recommendations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Pick Up the Ball program through the PECEL DESA innovation in Rokan Hulu Regency and to assess its impact on increasing ownership of population administration documents. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews and documentation. Data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the PECEL DESA program in Rokan Koto Ruang Village, Rokan Hulu Regency, has been effective in improving population administration services. Effectiveness is assessed using Riant Nugroho’s principles of accuracy: program, implementation, and target. In terms of program accuracy, PECEL DESA facilitated access for residents living far from the regency capital by simplifying the process of obtaining documents and reducing service time. Regarding implementation, the program was carried out in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In terms of target accuracy, the number of electronic ID card (e-KTP) holders increased significantly, reaching 98.12% of the village population. The study concludes that the PECEL DESA program is an effective innovation in strengthening village-level population administration services and can serve as a model for similar initiatives in other regions.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Implementation of the Child Identity Card (KIA) Program at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Bukittinggi City. KIA is implemented based on the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 2 of 2016 concerning Child Identity Cards. In the implementation, there are stakeholders involved, namely schools, LPKA Class II Payakumbuh in Tanjung Pati, and Bukittinggi City Hospital. This study was analyzed using the implementation theory according to Donald Van Meter and Carl Van Horn. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. Then the data validity technique uses source triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the Implementation of the Child Identity Card (KIA) Program at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Bukittinggi City has not run optimally. As the indicator of justice in the effort to pick up the ball to school has not been carried out evenly in Bukittinggi City, human resources in terms of quantity are inadequate, there is still a lack of budget, and the existence of facilities that are in a damaged condition, less supportive social conditions, and constraints on economic conditions.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of the Electronic Parking Terminal (TPE) Program in Bandung City and its effectiveness in enhancing local revenue (PAD) from parking retribution. The research aims to assess the extent to which TPE improves efficiency, transparency, and accountability in parking management. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model, data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature review. The findings show that although TPE was designed to reduce revenue leakage and illegal parking practices, its implementation has not yet achieved optimal outcomes. In the context dimension, social readiness and community adaptation to digital systems remain limited. From the input perspective, uneven machine distribution, frequent malfunction, and insufficient training for parking attendants hinder operational performance. In the process dimension, low digital literacy, technical issues, and weak supervision result in continued reliance on manual transactions. In terms of product, TPE contributes positively to transparency and accountability, yet its impact on increasing PAD remains below government targets. The study concludes that while TPE holds promising potential, significant improvements in infrastructure, human resources, and regulatory enforcement are required. Future research should adopt comparative and quantitative approaches to better measure financial impacts and deepen understanding of community behavior toward digital parking innovations.

Abstract

This study examines social conflicts arising from the poverty alleviation program through the provision of livable housing assistance for fishermen families in East Simeulue District, Simeulue Regency. The research aims to identify the sources of social conflict among fishermen receiving and not receiving housing assistance and to analyze the mechanisms used to resolve these conflicts. Grounded in Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory, this study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving fishermen, community leaders, and local government representatives. The findings reveal that social conflicts emerged due to feelings of exclusion and unequal treatment experienced by fishermen who did not receive assistance, scarcity of resources, inadequate communication regarding program rules and eligibility criteria, and ineffective leadership characterized by unfair decision-making. Additionally, social jealousy and the presence of provocateurs within the fishing community intensified tensions. Conflict resolution was conducted through deliberative processes emphasizing communication facilitation between conflicting parties, primarily through arbitration and mediation as third-party interventions. Furthermore, local wisdom known as “salah manyamba” gawai mangisi” played a significant role in resolving disputes by involving respected community figures and prioritizing family-based deliberation. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of transparent governance, effective communication, and the integration of local wisdom in minimizing social conflict and ensuring the equitable implementation of poverty alleviation programs in coastal communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the empowerment of waste banks in Tanjungpinang City within a circular economy framework to support sustainable waste management. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The research location focused on three waste banks: the Main Waste Bank Berseri, the Kuantan Bersih Unit Waste Bank, and the Kembar Mandiri Unit Waste Bank. Data analysis used the ACTORS theory (Authority, Confidence and Competence, Trust, Opportunity, Responsibility, and Support) to understand the dynamics of community empowerment. The results showed that the three waste banks implemented empowerment through increasing manager capacity, environmental education, and circular economy-based waste management innovation. Empowerment was characterized by increased manager authority, social trust, and cross-sector support. The main challenges include budget constraints, low community participation, and fluctuations in recycling prices. This study recommends strengthening waste bank institutions, expanding cross-sector partnerships, and improving environmental education. Socially, empowerment through waste banks can foster ecological awareness and community economic independence. This study integrates ACTORS theory and the circular economy concept to explain environmentally based community empowerment, demonstrating that waste banks function as a means of social transformation toward participatory and sustainable environmental governance.

Abstract

Facing a persistent financial crisis and critical post-pandemic competency gaps, PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk took a strategic step by recruiting two foreign nationals (FNs) to its board of directors in October 2025, supported by an amendment to the State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) Law. This decision is a manifestation of the external fit strategy within Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) to acquire specific expertise (financial turnaround and operational efficiency) that is scarce in the domestic market. This study analyzes the decision to appoint foreign directors as a response to the Global Talent Challenge and the challenge of institutional embeddedness. Data was obtained through a qualitative case study, in-depth interviews with Garuda Indonesia practitioners, and regulatory and media analysis. The decision is legally sound and demonstrates a meritocratic effort to overcome the competency gap. Findings show that integrating foreign leadership into the Indonesian SOE context requires more than just technical expertise. The acceptance of local human resources (overcoming in-group bias) is heavily determined by the foreign leadership's performance legitimacy and a conscious effort to implement a crossvergence culture (a blend of local values and global professionalism). To ensure long-term success and build domestic capacity, this strategy must be balanced with a global succession plan and a structured knowledge transfer system, ensuring foreign talent acts as a transformative catalyst. Garuda can achieve a win-win outcome by maintaining global competitiveness while strengthening local leadership.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the success of advocacy organizations in promoting changes to the 2020-2029 forest management plan for Unit III Bungo. The blocks that were originally planned for utilization turned out to be virgin forests, wildlife corridors, and buffer zones for the Kerinci Seblat National Park. The purpose of this study is to determine the reasons behind the success of the policy advocacy carried out by KKI Warsi and Yayasan PKHS in converting some of the utilization blocks into protected areas. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that advocacy organizations utilized all forms of input, which were then used to carry out five activities, influencing and mobilizing the public, influencing decision makers, information campaigns, defensive activities, and policy monitoring. These various activities then resulted in a more democratic environment, changes in the views of policy makers, and the adoption and implementation of policies. However, advocacy only touched on the impact of substantive changes and not on changes in the mechanism of block distribution and public-centered policies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of e-voting as part of the smart governance transformation, which raises profound normative dilemmas regarding election integrity, public trust, and power relations. The shift from paper-based voting to digital formats offers efficiency and increased access to participation, but at the same time presents serious challenges in terms of public verification, cybersecurity, and the protection of voters' personal data. Rejecting the view of technological determinism, this study narratively compares how technopolitical configurations and institutional designs in Estonia and India shape the quality of democracy, particularly in terms of transparency, participation, and accountability. This research uses a comparative qualitative method with a Most Different Systems Design (MDSD) approach, comparing Estonia as a pioneer of internet voting based on high institutional trust and India as a user of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) operating in a context of political fragmentation and declining public trust. The analysis is based on a synthesis of the Technopolitics and Rational Choice Institutionalism frameworks, which view technology as a political artifact resulting from the rational calculations of political actors. The findings show that the impact of e-voting on the quality of democracy is not determined by the type of technology, but rather by the technopolitical configuration, institutional design, and rationality of political actors. E-voting functions as a mediating variable that reinforces existing institutional conditions, so its success is highly dependent on the political context of each country.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze rent-seeking practices in the expansion of illegal oil palm plantations and their contribution to environmental degradation in Tesso Nilo National Park (TNTN), Riau Province. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using a document-based method. The study relied entirely on secondary data obtained from government reports, policy and regulatory documents, academic publications, civil society organization reports, and relevant media sources. Data were collected through systematic document analysis and analyzed using thematic and content analysis techniques guided by Rent-Seeking Theory to examine power relations, actor interactions, and institutional mechanisms that enable illegal land conversion.The findings reveal that environmental degradation in TNTN is structurally driven by a rent-seeking network involving state and non-state actors, including government officials, palm oil entrepreneurs, and land brokers. These actors exploit regulatory loopholes, weak law enforcement, and fragmented institutional authority to facilitate illegal land clearing and informal land legitimization. As a result, ecological damage occurs systematically, reflected in extensive deforestation, habitat loss, increased human-wildlife conflict, and weakened conservation governance. This study concludes that Environmental Degradation in TNTN is rooted in governance failure and unequal power relations rather than merely technical limitations. Therefore, structural reforms emphasizing transparency, accountability, and consistent law enforcement are essential to dismantle rent-seeking practices and ensure sustainable conservation management.
