Abstract

Batam City is a national strategic area that has played a significant role in Indonesia's economic growth since the 1970s. Through its Free Trade Zone (FTZ) policy, Batam has successfully attracted significant investment and developed into an export-oriented trading center. However, the implementation of regional autonomy has created institutional dualism between the Batam City Government and the Batam Business Entity (BP Batam), resulting in overlapping authority, regulatory uncertainty, and a decline in regional economic competitiveness. This study aims to analyze regional development policy strategies that align with the vision of the Batam City Long-Term Regional Development Plan (RPJPD) 2025–2045. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through document studies, secondary data, and interviews with key stakeholders. The results indicate that institutional restructuring is an urgent need to eliminate overlapping authority between the central and regional governments. In addition, harmonization of central and regional regulations, strengthening infrastructure, and improving the quality of human resources are strategic steps in Batam's transition from an FTZ to a Special Economic Zone (KEK). To achieve Batam's successful development in the future, inclusive multi-stakeholder collaboration and governance that adapts to global dynamics are needed. A policy strategy based on synergy, regulatory efficiency, and resource readiness is believed to be able to support the achievement of sustainable economic transformation in accordance with the region's long-term vision.

Abstract

Mount Kerinci is one of Indonesia’s premier climbing tourist destinations, attracting a growing number of visitors each year. This rapid increase in tourism has brought about significant ecological and social pressures on the surrounding environment and communities. Kersik Tuo Village, serving as the primary gateway to the hiking trail, holds a pivotal role in managing these pressures through sustainable tourism practices. This study aims to analyze the role of the Kersik Tuo Village Government in advancing sustainable tourism development using a qualitative descriptive approach, guided by William N. Dunn's program evaluation framework. The framework assesses five key criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, and responsiveness. Findings indicate that the village government has implemented several important initiatives, such as developing basic infrastructure, conducting human resource training, running environmental awareness campaigns, and collaborating with the village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) to boost local economic development. Despite these positive steps, significant challenges persist. Waste accumulation above 3,000 meters remains a critical environmental concern, alongside widespread illegal climbing activities that threaten the conservation area. Economic benefits are unevenly distributed among community members, and village officials face limitations in technical capacity, hindering effective management. While the government shows good responsiveness to environmental issues, its efforts fall short in addressing social conflicts and systematic trail monitoring. To address these gaps, the study recommends strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing coordination among all tourism stakeholders, establishing preventive monitoring systems for trails, and promoting inclusive economic empowerment. These combined efforts are essential to foster equitable, participatory, and sustainable governance for climbing tourism within the Mount Kerinci conservation area, ensuring long-term preservation and community welfare.

The partnership is part of extending the diplomatic relations between the two countries, which will be 100 years old in 2050.  Indonesia and France are developing strategic partnerships in various important sectors, ranging from defense, technology, agriculture, economy, to culture. Both countries have the same vision of world order. The strategic partnership strengthens their positions in facing global uncertainty with a total of 21 strategic agreements. The forms of cooperation and strategic agreements between Indonesia and France include: 1) Defense sector, for example, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and the French Ministry of Armed Forces agreed to establish a strategic partnership related to the exchange and joint protection of confidential information in the defense sector, 2) Economic sector, both countries agreed to encourage more balanced trade and investment relations, including: (1). MoU between the National Nutrition Agency and Danone; (2). Danantara and Eramet; (3). Investment Agreement between PT RGE Indonesia and Total Energies; (4). Investment Agreement between PT Citra Bonang Indonesia and Lesaffre; (5). MoU between PT SMI, PT PLN, and HDF; (6).

Abstract

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in supporting the livelihoods and economic stability of Indonesian society, particularly within the Pademawu community. Indonesia’s vast agrarian landscape and strong reliance on agriculture have shaped various local traditions and cooperative systems among farmers. One such system is the muzara’ah agreement, a form of agricultural profit-sharing partnership between landowners and cultivators. This research focuses on the implementation of the Paron La’as agreement, a traditional form of muzara’ah practiced by the Pademawu community, which reflects both economic cooperation and Islamic legal principles. The study employs a qualitative approach using a field research design to collect descriptive data through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Paron La’as system is conducted in accordance with the principles of Islamic law governing muzara’ah contracts, particularly in terms of fairness, mutual consent, and proportional profit distribution between landowners and farmers. Moreover, the study highlights how this cooperative practice not only strengthens economic ties within the community but also preserves local wisdom and social harmony. Therefore, the Paron La’as model demonstrates an effective integration of Islamic economic values with traditional agricultural systems, serving as a sustainable example of community-based agricultural cooperation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines the role of bureaucratic digitalisation in advancing good governance in post-New Order Indonesia based on a narrative literature review. Employing an integrative framework that connects Good Governance theory, E-Government, Digital Era Governance, and Institutional Theory, this study analyses literature published between 1998 and 2024 drawn from academic journals, policy documents, and national–international institutional reports. The findings indicate that, although Indonesia has achieved notable progress in digital regulation and infrastructure, reflected in the adoption of SPBE and the increase in the EGDI from 0.3690 (2012) to 0.6612 (2022), implementation continues to face severe structural and institutional constraints. Five key themes emerge: progressive policy development yet uneven implementation; a transparency paradox between rhetoric and practice; severe interregional digital divides; institutional resistance rooted in patrimonial administrative culture; and the ambivalent effects of digitalisation on public service quality. This study concludes that the digitalisation of bureaucracy has not fundamentally transformed good governance due to an excessive emphasis on technological solutions in the absence of institutional and cultural reconfiguration. Policy recommendations include contextual strategies based on local capacity, sustained investment in civil servant capacity building, and reforms to bureaucratic incentive structures. This study contributes to the e-government literature in developing countries by providing a critical analysis of the persistent gap between policy adoption and actual implementation.

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics, challenges, and opportunities in implementing the merit system policy within the context of Indonesia’s bureaucratic reform, employing a narrative literature review approach using a triangulation of scholarly sources. Thematic analysis identifies five critical themes that hinder the implementation of the merit system: structural tensions between political patronage and meritocracy that create a hybrid spoils–merit system; significant institutional capacity gaps between central and local governments; digital transformation through platforms such as CAT, SmartASN, and SIPINTER as catalysts for transparency and objectivity; organizational cultural resistance rooted in patrimonial and seniority values; and the weakening of independent oversight exacerbated by the dissolution of KASN’s mandate. Although a progressive regulatory framework has been established through Law No. 5 of 2014, the implementation of the merit system remains constrained by persistent clientelism, limited institutional capacity, and cultural resistance. This study contributes to the theoretical discourse on Weberian bureaucracy, New Public Management, and good governance by confirming that the implementation of the merit system in developing countries constitutes a political–cultural transformation that requires fundamental changes in political incentive structures, institutional capacity, and organisational values. Managerial implications include strengthening independent oversight, making substantial investments in institutional capacity, accelerating inclusive digital transformation, and implementing systematic change management programs to expedite the transition toward a performance-based bureaucracy that is professional and integrity-driven in support of Indonesia’s Golden Vision 2045

Abstract

This study examines the urgency of reforming law enforcement institutions in handling child offenders in Indonesia. The enactment of Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Criminal Justice System for Children (SPPA) marked a paradigm shift from retributive justice to restorative justice. However, its implementation has not been optimal because law enforcement institutions are still sectoral and not integrated. This study uses a normative juridical approach with empirical juridical support to analyse the conformity of legal norms with institutional practices. Data were obtained from legislation, scientific literature, and interviews with law enforcement officials and child protection practitioners. The results show that the implementation of diversion is still low due to weak coordination between institutions, limited human resources, and the absence of an integrated institutional mechanism. Institutional reform is needed to strengthen synergy between institutions, foster a humanistic mindset among officials, and ensure child protection in accordance with the principles of restorative justice. This study recommends the establishment of a permanent coordination body between child law enforcement agencies and ongoing training for officials. Institutional reform is seen as a strategic step towards realising a juvenile justice system that is not only normative but also substantively fair and restorative.

Abstract

The popularity of the boys love (BL) genre, a key representation of the LGBTQ community, raises concerns about its potential negative impact on social pathology related to LGBTQ behaviors among fans. Despite the stigma labeling BL enthusiasts as exhibiting deviant sexual behavior (homosexuality), early observations and field findings show that most fans are heterosexual and do not exhibit such behavior. Instead, their engagement represents a cumulative effort to support LGBTQ representation. This research uses a qualitative case study approach, conducted on social media X over four months. Key findings suggest that the primary curative efforts by fans to address the social pathology of LGBTQ are self-control and the establishment of self-boundaries. Self-control is demonstrated through cognitive and decision-making control, while self-boundaries are seen in fans' understanding that fictional content should not be translated into heteronormative reality. Strengthening self-control and self-boundaries lays the foundation for further curative actions, preventing fans from becoming fully integrated into the LGBTQ community.

Abstract

This study analyzes multi-stakeholder collaboration in innovation-based regional development planning at the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Sidoarjo Regency, emphasizing institutional mechanisms, data integration and digital innovation, joint financing schemes, and actor capacity and participation dynamics. The research focuses on the need to improve the effectiveness of development planning through planned, participatory, and data-driven intersectoral collaboration. Applying a qualitative case study approach, information was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of planning documents. It was then analyzed using data reduction, thematic grouping, and source triangulation techniques. The research findings indicate that institutional synergy has been realized through formal forums such as development planning meetings and group discussions. However, coordination remains suboptimal due to overlapping roles between regional government agencies and the lack of a sustainable collaborative mechanism. Digital data integration still faces challenges due to limited platform content and user technical capabilities, resulting in data utilization not fully supporting evidence-based decisions. In terms of financing, collaborative schemes have begun to be implemented but are inconsistent, particularly in combining funding sources from various sectors. The capabilities of actors show striking differences, which impact the quality of public engagement and the efficiency of facilitating the planning process. Overall, these results confirm that the effectiveness of innovative planning is largely determined by the integration of digital systems, strengthening collaboration between stakeholders, and enhancing institutional capacity. This study suggests designing a more organized, interactive, and long-term multi-actor synergy model.

Abstract

This research seeks to examine the approach to managing civil servant training to enhance public service efficiency at the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) of Pasuruan City. This research is rooted in the bureaucratic difficulties encountered by local governments, especially the disparity between organizational demands and the presence of qualified staff. This situation results in delays in service, reduced productivity, and ineffective management of human resources. The study utilizes a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data via comprehensive interviews, firsthand observations, and analysis of policy documents. The results indicate that the state civil servants formation management approach at BKD Pasuruan emphasizes three main elements: workforce planning based on competencies, employee redistribution according to performance, and strengthening evaluation systems oriented towards results. These tactics have enhanced bureaucratic effectiveness and expedited public service operations. The research additionally reveals that effective execution relies on adaptive leadership, a cooperative work environment, and a dedication to service innovation. In summary, an effectively designed, flexible, and results-oriented state civil servants formation management approach can act as a template for enhancing local administrative capabilities to deliver efficient, professional, and enduring public services.
