Abstract

Indonesia’s electoral process is increasingly influenced by digital transformation, public demand for transparency, and the need to strengthen democratic participation in a complex political and geographical setting. This article aims to examine the concept of smart election governance and its relationship with public participation in Indonesia’s electoral process. The study uses a qualitative research method with a literature-based approach by reviewing relevant academic sources, policy discussions, and conceptual studies related to electoral governance, digital administration, information integrity, and citizen engagement. The findings show that smart election governance is supported by five main dimensions: digital electoral administration, public participation, information integrity, ethical institutional coordination, and collaborative governance among election management bodies, government institutions, civil society, media, digital platforms, and citizens. Digital systems contribute to improving voter data management, logistics monitoring, electoral information access, complaint reporting, and result transparency. However, the study also finds that technological innovation must be accompanied by data protection, digital inclusion, institutional accountability, and civic literacy to prevent misinformation, unequal access, and declining public trust. The article concludes that smart election governance should not be understood merely as the adoption of technology in election management, but as an integrated democratic framework that connects digital innovation, institutional integrity, and active citizen participation. This framework is essential for strengthening transparency, public trust, democratic engagement, and electoral legitimacy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study evaluates the use of the Food Security and Vulnerability Atlas (FSVA) as an indicator-based instrument in the food security planning process of Tanjungpinang City. The issue is important because Tanjungpinang, as an urban and archipelagic area, has limited agricultural land, depends on food supplies from outside the region, and faces uneven socioeconomic and basic service conditions across its wards. The purpose of this study is to assess how FSVA indicators can describe local food security conditions, identify vulnerable areas, and support evidence-based planning for targeted policy interventions. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data from relevant government institutions, including data on food supply facilities, low-welfare population, transportation connectivity, clean water access, and health personnel. The data were analyzed through individual indicator analysis, standardization, weighting, composite scoring, and spatial classification into six priority groups. The findings show that Tanjungpinang City is generally in a relatively food-secure condition, with no ward classified as Priority 1. However, one ward is classified as Priority 2, one ward as Priority 3, one ward as Priority 4, seven wards as Priority 5, and eight wards as Priority 6. Senggarang and Dompak require particular attention because their vulnerability is influenced by low-income households, limited clean water access, and an unequal ratio of health personnel. The study concludes that FSVA is useful not only as a vulnerability mapping tool but also as a planning framework that links data, spatial analysis, causal factors, and policy interventions to strengthen sustainable urban food security.

Abstract

This study examines the issue of unequal maritime-based investment distribution in Kepulauan Riau, an archipelagic province with strategic economic potential due to its proximity to international shipping routes, cross-border trade networks, port infrastructure, and marine-based resources. Although Kepulauan Riau has recorded significant investment growth, investment realisation remains concentrated in Batam, while outer-island districts such as Natuna, Anambas, and Lingga continue to face limited capital inflows, weak infrastructure, and low integration into regional value chains. This study aims to evaluate the direction of investment policy and its contribution to equitable regional development in Kepulauan Riau. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyses secondary data from the Kepulauan Riau Province Investment and One-Stop Service Agency for 2021–2025, supported by policy review and regional development analysis. The findings show that Batam consistently dominates provincial investment realisation, while Bintan and Karimun experience fluctuating growth and outer-island districts remain structurally marginal. The results also indicate that investment inequality is influenced by uneven connectivity, limited logistics infrastructure, weak investment promotion, insufficient downstream industries, and fragmented institutional coordination. The study concludes that equitable maritime-based investment requires a shift from a Batam-centred growth model toward a spatially inclusive development strategy through thematic economic zones, regional investment potential mapping, infrastructure acceleration, green investment, strengthened investment coordination, and local community integration into maritime value chains.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Koperasi Merah Putih (KMP) policy as an actor in supporting the programme to provide free nutritious meals for school students in Tanjungpinang City. Koperasi Merah Putih, which was formed with a spirit of multi-stakeholder collaboration, is believed to play an important role in the food supply chain and logistics distribution, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of the programme. Using a qualitative approach with case studies, this study focuses on the implementation model of (George C. Edwards III: 1980) Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure.  Data was collected through in-depth interviews with the management of the Merah Putih Cooperative, school principals, and representatives from the Education Office and the Cooperative Office. The results show that the implementation of this policy faces major challenges in terms of resources, particularly the availability of working capital and efficient supply chain management capabilities, as well as land for the Merah Putih Cooperative office. Several areas of Tanjungpinang City face difficulties in land management and the cooperative's business activities. On the other hand, communication and the disposition of actors show high levels of support. Koperasi Merah Putih has succeeded in reducing logistics costs and improving the quality of raw materials, but the scalability of the programme still requires more integrated administrative and budgetary support from the Tanjungpinang City Government. This study recommends the need to strengthen the supporting bureaucratic structure and increase the capacity of Koperasi Merah Putih   through modern management training to achieve optimal public policy effectiveness in supporting the free nutritious meal programme.

Abstract

This study examines the Galang Batang Special Economic Zone as a strategic instrument for accelerating downstreaming-based economic transformation in Bintan, Kepulauan Riau Province, Indonesia. The main problem addressed in this article is the extent to which Galang Batang SEZ can move Bintan’s economy beyond dependence on raw-resource extraction, tourism, and service-based activities toward a more integrated industrial structure based on bauxite processing, alumina production, investment facilitation, and export-oriented value creation. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of Galang Batang SEZ in supporting mineral downstreaming, strengthening industrial infrastructure, generating local economic linkages, and contributing to sustainable regional transformation. This research uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical method based entirely on secondary data. The data were obtained from academic literature, government documents, official reports, statistical publications, policy documents, and credible online sources related to special economic zones, downstreaming policy, regional industrialization, and Bintan’s economic development. The data were analyzed through document review and content analysis by classifying information into strategic foundations, industrial infrastructure, value creation, regional economic effects, governance challenges, and sustainability risks. The findings show that Galang Batang SEZ has strong potential to become a downstreaming hub because it combines strategic maritime location, bauxite-processing orientation, investment incentives, industrial infrastructure, port connectivity, and export market access. The SEZ also has the potential to support employment creation, local business growth, economic diversification, and regional competitiveness. However, its long-term impact depends on the ability of policymakers and industrial actors to prevent enclave industrialization, strengthen local supplier participation, improve workforce skills, ensure environmental management, and build adaptive governance.

Abstract

Equivalency education plays an important role in Indonesia’s national education system by providing alternative learning pathways for citizens who are unable to complete formal schooling through regular educational routes. However, graduates of non-formal education, particularly those from Paket A, Paket B, and Paket C, still face challenges related to certificate recognition, administrative verification, public trust, and acceptance by higher education institutions, employers, and public agencies. In response to these issues, the e-certificate policy has emerged as a significant instrument for strengthening the credibility, authenticity, and portability of educational credentials in the digital era. This study aims to analyze the opportunities, challenges, and impacts of e-certificate policy on the recognition of non-formal education graduates in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach using secondary data analysis. Data were collected from regulations, government policy documents, institutional reports, scholarly articles, and relevant literature on digital credentials, equivalency education, and educational recognition. The data were analyzed through document review and content analysis by identifying regulatory foundations, institutional mechanisms, implementation challenges, and recognition outcomes. The findings show that e-certificate policy offers several opportunities, including faster certificate issuance, easier digital verification, reduced document falsification, improved administrative efficiency, and stronger institutional trust in non-formal education credentials. Nevertheless, the policy also faces challenges related to unequal digital infrastructure, limited institutional readiness, data protection risks, inconsistent recognition across sectors, and the continuing social stigma toward equivalency education graduates.
