Abstract

Bureaucratic reform is a critical driver of economic growth, especially in decentralized regions where local governance quality directly affects development outcomes. This study investigates the impact of bureaucratic reform on the economic performance of Bintan Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach that includes document analysis and systematic literature review, the research explores how administrative modernization contributes to improved service delivery, investment facilitation, and institutional efficiency. Findings reveal that reform initiatives particularly digital licensing systems, streamlined bureaucratic processes, and enhanced inter-agency coordination have significantly supported economic growth. In 2023, Bintan recorded a 6.14% GRDP growth, with the manufacturing sector contributing 40.25% and capital formation accounting for 59.99% of the growth from the expenditure side. These outcomes align with meta-analytic evidence that highlights the positive effects of bureaucratic transparency and performance-based governance on regional development. However, challenges such as political clientelism and institutional fragmentation remain barriers to sustained reform. The study concludes that while Bintan's reforms have yielded tangible economic benefits, long-term success depends on embedding reform into legal and operational structures, ensuring resilience against political disruptions. This case provides practical insights for policymakers seeking to align governance innovation with inclusive economic development. The research highlights the importance of adaptive bureaucratic structures in achieving inclusive economic growth, suggesting that Bintan’s experience can serve as a model for other regions facing similar governance challenges.

Abstract

Solid waste management in urban areas has become a pressing environmental and governance issue, particularly in rapidly developing secondary cities such as Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. Despite the existence of regulatory frameworks like Regional Regulation No. 3 of 2015, the city's waste management system remains underdeveloped, marked by inefficient collection services, inadequate infrastructure, and limited public participation. This study aims to examine the stakeholder landscape in Tanjungpinang’s waste governance to identify institutional gaps, coordination challenges, and opportunities for improved collaboration. The research employs a qualitative and interpretive methodology, combining document analysis and stakeholder mapping using Eskerod & Jepsen’s influence-interest matrix and the Friedman and Miles stakeholder salience framework. Findings indicate that the Department of Environment (DLH) holds the highest level of authority but often lacks the urgency and resources needed for effective intervention. Meanwhile, actors with high urgency, such as informal waste workers and local communities, lack legitimacy and power, leading to their exclusion from formal governance processes. The stakeholder network is characterized by low mutuality and fragmented relationships, particularly between state and non-state actors. Waste banks and NGOs operate with limited support despite their significant roles in community outreach and recycling initiatives. The study concludes that sustainable urban waste management in Tanjungpinang requires inclusive governance reforms that build institutional capacity, strengthen stakeholder interdependence, and integrate informal actors into formal waste systems. These findings offer practical insights for enhancing stakeholder engagement and aligning local waste policies with Sustainable Development Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities.

Abstract

Free Nutritious Meal Program (FNMP) in Indonesia, introduced as a national initiative to combat malnutrition and improve student health outcomes, reflects a significant policy intervention within the country's broader education and health agendas. This study applies a PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) analysis to critically evaluate the policy’s macro-environmental context, aiming to identify enabling and constraining factors that influence its implementation and sustainability. The primary objective is to investigate how external forces impact the effectiveness and scalability of the FNMP, particularly in diverse socio-economic and geographic regions of Indonesia. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study synthesizes policy documents, governmental reports, media sources, and relevant academic literature published between 2025. Data were coded thematically based on the six PESTLE dimensions to capture complex interdependencies affecting the policy’s rollout. The findings reveal that strong Political will and presidential backing significantly propel the program’s legitimacy and funding, while Economic challenges, such as inflation and budget reallocation, pose sustainability risks. Social, the program is well-received, especially in underprivileged areas, though disparities in community engagement remain. Technological limitations in food distribution logistics and monitoring systems are key operational barriers. Legal, the lack of binding regulatory frameworks weakens enforcement, and Environmentally, issues related to food waste and sustainable sourcing are under-addressed. In conclusion, while the FNMP holds considerable potential for improving child nutrition and educational outcomes, its long-term success depends on multi-sectoral collaboration, robust policy enforcement, and adaptive strategies.

Abstract

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judiciary has sparked significant interest due to its potential to enhance efficiency and accuracy in legal processes. However, this advancement also brings ethical concerns that demand careful attention. This paper examines key ethical issues surrounding AI usage in judicial systems, including the risks of algorithmic bias, the lack of transparency in decision-making processes, and the possible erosion of human judgment. It highlights the importance of maintaining accountability and fairness while integrating AI tools to support, not replace, the role of judges. Using real-world examples and analyzing existing legal frameworks, the discussion emphasizes the need to align AI innovation with the fundamental principles of justice and human rights. The findings of this paper aim to provide practical insights for legal professionals, policymakers, and AI developers to establish ethical guidelines that ensure AI contributes to a fair and equitable judiciary. Balancing efficiency with justice remains the central goal of this exploration.

Abstract

Corruption remains one of the most pressing challenges undermining democracy, governance, and public trust in Indonesia, particularly following the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy. While regional autonomy was intended to bring prosperity and equal development, in practice it has often facilitated the spread of corrupt practices from central government to regional administrations. The issue has become more acute with the implementation of direct regional head elections (pilkada), which, though designed to strengthen democratic participation, have created significant financial and political pressures on candidates, often resulting in the misuse of state budgets and the normalization of money politics. This study aims to examine the relationship between direct regional elections and the proliferation of corruption loopholes, highlighting how electoral mechanisms inadvertently encourage corrupt behavior. The research employs a descriptive explorative method, relying on secondary data from scholarly works, official documents, and prior research, and analyzing them through qualitative descriptive analysis to uncover patterns and systemic weaknesses. The findings indicate that direct elections, while enhancing political legitimacy, also generate high financial demands that compel candidates to seek external funding, leading to post-election corruption through budget manipulation, project markups, politicization of social assistance, and collusion between bureaucrats, legislatures, and political investors. Moreover, the system often fails to ensure accountability, as legislative oversight is weak and public mechanisms for monitoring leaders remain limited. The study concludes that although direct elections provide opportunities for citizen participation, they also institutionalize structural vulnerabilities that sustain corruption. This paradox underscores the need for reforms in electoral financing, stricter accountability mechanisms, and stronger institutional checks and balances to prevent democracy from becoming a breeding ground for corruption.

Abstract

Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU) are essential facilities that support transportation by ensuring the availability of fuel for motorized vehicles. However, long queues, particularly during peak hours, often cause traffic congestion, wasted time, and reduced customer satisfaction. These inefficiencies are generally linked to limited service capacity and uneven workload distribution among fuel pumps. This study aims to analyze the queuing system at Gas Station 13.201.101, Jalan Jamin Ginting, Medan, using the M/M/s queuing model and simulation with Arena software. Data were collected through direct observation of vehicle arrivals and service times for motorcycles and cars. Statistical tests, including chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov, were applied to determine the best fit for inter-arrival and service time distributions, which followed exponential and beta distributions, respectively. The results indicate that motorcycles had an average inter-arrival time of 3.8 minutes and a service time of 3.3 minutes, while cars averaged 5.5 minutes between arrivals with 5.9 minutes of service. The theoretical M/M/s analysis showed relatively efficient performance, with less than one minute of waiting time and pump utilization ranging between 32% and 70%. In contrast, Arena simulation reflected real operational conditions more accurately, showing no waiting lines but revealing uneven distribution of workload among pumps, with some exceeding 70% utilization while others remained low. These findings highlight that while the system is generally efficient, improvements in vehicle routing and pump allocation are necessary. Recommendations include optimizing station layout, operator training, and adopting automated distribution systems to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Abstract

Waste management is one of the most urgent environmental problems in Indonesia, especially in urban centers like Bandar Lampung City, where waste generation has risen to over 870 tons per day, putting pressure on landfills and creating serious environmental and health risks. Conventional disposal approaches have proven insufficient, prompting the introduction of the Emak.ID Waste Bank program as a community-based solution that combines waste reduction with empowerment. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the program fosters empowerment across four key dimensions Awakening, Understanding, Harnessing, and Using—while assessing its role in strengthening community participation in sustainable waste management. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design, using in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis centered on the Gunter community group, which has successfully practiced independent weighing since late 2022. The findings show that the program improved waste segregation, enhanced environmental literacy, and provided modest financial incentives from recyclables, while also fostering social cohesion through regular training and collective weighing activities. However, participation remains inconsistent due to low environmental literacy, competing daily priorities, and limited economic returns. Despite these challenges, the Emak.ID model demonstrates how waste banks can operate not only as environmental interventions but also as platforms for community empowerment and micro-entrepreneurship. The study concludes that for long-term sustainability, waste bank initiatives require stronger integration of educational, economic, and institutional support. This case highlights the potential of participatory waste governance as a replicable model for advancing sustainable urban development and circular economy practices in Indonesia.
