Abstract

The National Health Insurance (JKN) program represents Indonesia’s core strategy toward achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), yet its implementation continues to face persistent structural, financial, and political challenges. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of JKN implementation using Peter S. Cleaves’ framework, which emphasizes four interrelated dimensions scarcity, apathy, political power, and policy problematique to explain how limited resources, weak public participation, and political dynamics shape policy outcomes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review method, this research synthesizes findings from policy documents, academic studies, and institutional reports relevant to JKN implementation. The results reveal that scarcity is reflected in uneven healthcare infrastructure and financial deficits, apathy arises from low public engagement and bureaucratic rigidity, and political power influences decision-making processes that prioritize short-term populism over long-term sustainability. The study also identifies policy problematiques in the form of complex administrative systems and coordination inefficiencies between healthcare levels. These interrelated factors create implementation gaps that limit the achievement of equitable and effective health services. By situating these findings within Cleaves’ theoretical model, the study contributes to refining the understanding of policy implementation in developing contexts, emphasizing that technological innovation and participatory communication can mitigate structural and political constraints. The research concludes that enhancing institutional capacity, fostering citizen participation, and promoting digital inclusivity are key strategies for improving equity, responsiveness, and sustainability in Indonesia’s national health insurance system.

Abstract

This study examines the bureaucratic dynamics underlying the implementation of severance pay regulations under Indonesia’s Job Creation Law (Law No. 11 of 2020). The reform, designed to streamline labor policies and enhance flexibility, has raised significant debates concerning workers’ protection and the government’s administrative readiness. The research aims to analyze how bureaucratic communication, institutional capacity, and inter-agency coordination affect the effectiveness of the Job Loss Guarantee (Jaminan Kehilangan Pekerjaan or JKP) scheme. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and observation of coordination meetings involving officials from the Ministry of Manpower, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, regional labor offices, and labor unions. Thematic analysis based on Pressman and Wildavsky’s (1973) policy implementation model was applied to assess communication flows, resource adequacy, and structural mechanisms. The findings reveal that fragmented communication, uneven institutional capacity, and weak coordination have hindered consistent policy implementation across regions. Insufficient digital infrastructure and inadequate policy socialization further reduced administrative efficiency and worker awareness. The study concludes that effective reform requires integrated digital communication systems, continuous capacity building, and participatory coordination frameworks. Strengthening bureaucratic communication and institutional readiness is essential for translating the regulatory intent of the Job Creation Law into tangible improvements in worker protection and welfare.

Abstract

The prohibition of retail sales of subsidized 3-kilogram Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Indonesia represents the government’s effort to improve subsidy distribution efficiency and prevent misuse by non-eligible consumers. However, this study argues that the formulation and implementation of the policy reflect the phenomenon of bounded rationality in public decision-making. The purpose of this research is to analyze how cognitive, informational, and temporal limitations affected the design and execution of the policy, resulting in deviations from its intended objectives. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review method, this study examines secondary data from academic journals, official reports, and credible media sources to understand the dynamics of policy implementation. The findings reveal that the policy, while aiming to ensure accuracy in subsidy targeting, inadvertently restricted access for low-income households and small traders, leading to economic strain and the emergence of black markets. Weak data verification, limited public communication, and poor monitoring further exacerbated implementation challenges. Viewed through the lens of bounded rationality, policymakers acted under fiscal and political pressure, opting for “satisficing” solutions instead of optimal decisions. The study concludes that future energy subsidy reforms must integrate digital data systems, enhance beneficiary verification, and strengthen participatory oversight to minimize irrational policy outcomes and ensure equitable energy access for vulnerable communities.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Job Creation Law (Law No. 11 of 2020) represents a major reform in national environmental governance aimed at streamlining bureaucracy and accelerating investment; however, it has simultaneously raised concerns about ecological accountability and public participation. This study examines how the top-down implementation of the law has reshaped Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures and the broader structure of environmental governance. The research aims to analyze the implications of bureaucratic simplification, centralization of authority, and restricted public engagement for sustainable policymaking. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study collected data from legal documents, policy briefs, and interviews with governmental and civil society actors to explore institutional dynamics across central and regional levels. Findings indicate that while risk-based licensing and the Online Single Submission (OSS) system have improved efficiency and coherence in licensing processes, they have concurrently weakened preventive oversight, diminished local autonomy, and curtailed participatory mechanisms. The centralization of decision-making has standardized procedures but reduced flexibility and contextual responsiveness, leading to governance gaps between policy design and local execution. Moreover, the narrowing of public involvement in EIA processes has eroded transparency and legitimacy, undermining the principles of democratic environmental governance. The study concludes that the effectiveness of top-down implementation remains contingent upon institutional capacity, intergovernmental coordination, and inclusivity. It recommends adopting a hybrid governance model that combines hierarchical efficiency with participatory accountability to ensure that economic reform aligns with ecological sustainability and social legitimacy in Indonesia’s environmental policy landscape

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of sexual violence in Indonesia has posed a major governance challenge, prompting the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS Law). Despite this progressive legal framework, its implementation at the local level, particularly in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), remains fraught with structural, institutional, and socio‐cultural obstacles. This study aims to analyze how the TPKS Law is implemented within the context of multi‐actor collaboration by employing Policy Network Theory as an analytical lens. The research seeks to identify key actors, map their relationships, and evaluate how coordination mechanisms influence policy outcomes. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study draws upon secondary data sources, including government reports, academic publications, and NGO documentation, which were analyzed through content and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of the TPKS Law depends largely on the strength of horizontal coordination among actors such as the Yogyakarta Regional Police, DP3AP2 DIY, NGOs like and local communities. While legal institutions provide authority and structure, NGOs contribute trust and community engagement, creating a complementary but asymmetrical network. The study concludes that successful implementation of the TPKS Law in Yogyakarta requires adaptive governance practices characterized by continuous learning, inter‐agency collaboration, and community participation.

Abstract

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) increasingly relies on external grants both cash and in kind to strengthen early warning, forecasting, and service delivery, yet recurring administrative irregularities in grant receipt and management continue to generate audit exposure and weaken the reliability of institutional reporting. This study aims to examine why grant governance problems persist despite an established legal framework and organizational responsibility structure, and to identify policy options that can improve transparency, accountability, and rule-of-law compliance in BMKG’s grant governance. Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative, descriptive case-study approach with a policy and governance analysis orientation, drawing on a combination of document review (regulations, internal guidelines, and relevant administrative records) and stakeholder perspectives from organizational units involved in planning, finance, asset management, procurement, and internal oversight. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis using good-governance principles as analytical benchmarks, complemented by a root-cause perspective and a SOAR-based evaluation to assess strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results for reform implementation. The findings show that the most critical gaps are not merely normative but operational: fragmented workflows, delayed and uneven reporting practices, limited procedural literacy among implementers, and weak enforcement mechanisms often compounded by non-integrated systems and manual workarounds that reduce traceability and undermine documentation quality. The study further finds that isolated interventions are insufficient; improvements in socialization alone will not sustain compliance without standardized operational guidance and enforceable accountability.

Abstract

Bandung City faces escalating municipal solid waste challenges driven by rapid urban growth, consumption patterns, and limited treatment capacity. In response, waste banks (bank sampah) have emerged as community-based initiatives that promote recycling and waste segregation; however, their performance varies widely across districts due to institutional, financial, and technological constraints. This study aims to evaluate the strategic role of waste banks within Bandung’s municipal solid waste management system through a structured SWOT analysis. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, utilizing secondary data from journal articles, government reports, and credible news sources published between 2015 and 2025. Findings reveal strong community participation, environmental awareness, and institutional support as core strengths, while weaknesses include inadequate infrastructure, inconsistent funding, and the absence of digital monitoring systems. Opportunities are found in circular economy policies, CSR-based partnerships, and technological innovations for data management. External threats include fluctuating recyclable prices, landfill capacity limitations, and policy instability. Based on these insights, strategic recommendations were formulated, including the integration of waste banks into formal municipal planning, digital platform adoption, standardized operating procedures, and cross-sector collaboration. The study concludes that waste banks hold significant potential to support Bandung’s transition toward a circular and sustainable urban waste-management model, provided that institutional strengthening and technological innovation are prioritized. This research serves as a practical reference for policymakers, academics, and community stakeholders in addressing urban waste challenges.

Abstract

Social Assistance (Bansos) and Direct Cash Transfers (BLT) constitute important instruments for poverty alleviation in Indonesia. However, their distribution often encounters targeting errors caused by inaccurate beneficiary data, nontransparent distribution processes, and potential program politicization. These targeting errors generate budgetary inefficiencies and undermine public confidence in the effectiveness of assistance. Consequently, policy reform of Bansos and BLT distribution assumes critical importance. This article aims to identify the primary obstacles in the distribution of Bansos and BLT and to formulate practical strategic policy solutions that enhance targeting accuracy and program effectiveness. The literature review further explores reform measures that can improve benefit distribution and promote more equitable improvements in community economic welfare. The research employs a literature-study approach to analyze policies, official reports, and relevant literature concerning Bansos and BLT distribution. The review covers regulatory frameworks, beneficiary data, and recommendations from academic and policy practitioners. The study recommends several key strategies, including updating beneficiary data using the National Identification Number (NIK); increasing transparency of distribution procedures; establishing independent oversight to prevent program politicization; strengthening digital infrastructure in frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged (3T) regions; implementing a responsive public complaints mechanism; and adopting multidimensional poverty indicators. Implementing the proposed strategic solutions should enhance the effectiveness of Bansos and BLT programs and thereby foster a more equitable and sustainable improvement in the economic welfare of target populations.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of data-driven governance innovation in improving institutional quality in the Indonesian public sector. Specifically, the research analyzes the direct and indirect effects of technology, organizational capacity, and regulatory frameworks on institutional quality, with data-driven governance innovation positioned as a mediating variable. The study responds to the growing demand for evidence-based public administration amid digital bureaucracy reform and the implementation of e-government initiatives in Indonesia. The research employs a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through a structured survey of civil servants across central and local government institutions that have implemented digital governance systems. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test measurement validity, reliability, and structural relationships among variables. This quantitative phase was complemented by qualitative data obtained from in-depth interviews with key informants involved in digital governance, which were analyzed thematically to provide contextual explanations of the statistical findings. The results indicate that data-driven governance innovation has a positive and significant effect on institutional quality. Technology emerges as the most influential factor, exerting both direct and indirect effects through governance innovation. Organizational capacity shows a moderate but significant influence, while regulatory factors display a weak and inconsistent effect. These findings suggest that strengthening technological infrastructure and organizational capabilities is essential for enhancing institutional quality through data-driven governance in the public sector.

Abstract

Indonesia’s archipelagic geography makes maritime transport, fisheries, offshore works, and coastal livelihoods highly exposed to rapidly changing hydro-meteorological hazards, so marine meteorological services function as critical decision infrastructure rather than merely forecast products. This study examines the governance-to-implementation gap in BMKG’s Marine Meteorological System Phase II (MMS-2), a technology-intensive modernization program financed by an AFD external loan (€63.7 million) that experienced an extreme implementation lag of around 4.5–5 years, delaying service benefits and increasing fiscal exposure. Using a qualitative single-case design, the research relies on documentary evidence (planning/design artefacts, implementation records, and legal–procedural frameworks) to reconstruct the end-to-end implementation timeline, identify decision choke points, map causal chains through Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and derive improvement options via the SOAR framework integrated with top-down/bottom-up implementation logics. Findings show the dominant bottleneck was low governance throughput slow, uncertain decision-making that stalled procurement and delivery driven by mutually reinforcing factors: early planning immaturity, regulatory deadlock between national procurement requirements (including TKDN/local content) and lender No Objection procedures, and legal shifts linked to the CFA amendment. Although acceleration emerged after the first drawdown (March 2025), persistent risks remained in fiscal data accountability and late-stage integration under a compressed catch-up corridor to 2028. The study concludes that a two-track “Agile Governance” strategy permanent cross-agency steering plus an autonomous joint task force with harmonized technical–procedural guidance and strengthened data integrity can accelerate delivery while preserving transparency and auditability.
