The campaign strategy is a system developed by the campaign team that is used in the battle for voters' votes, in its implementation political marketing is used. Political marketing itself has a meaning as a marketing management theory that is applied in the political arena, political marketing is not a concept that sells political parties or candidates to the public. But political marketing is a concept to solve actual problems with programs and issues that are being developed. In political marketing theory, there are four stages that must be carried out by political actors, these stages are known as the 4Ps, namely product, promotion, price (price), and place (place). Methods The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, while the data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation.

After conducting voter segmentation, the Machfud Arifin-Mujiaman pair determined the products to be promoted, there were three products sold by the Machfud Arifin- Mujiaman pair, namely political parties, track records and characteristics of candidates, while promotion was carried out through social media and conventional campaigns , for the selling price or value, Mr. Machfud Arifin in particular as a candidate for Mayor is seen as a figure who is firm, authoritative and charismatic, but the negative impact is that because of his police background Mr. Machfud Arifin can get a negative image in society, for his own place can be seen in various platform and to increase the selling price, the Machfud Arifin-Mujiaman pair invited several influencers such as Atta Halilintar, Sara Fajira and others. There are two campaign strategies used, namely ground attack and air attack. Conclusions There were at least four activities carried out in the ground attack, including party consolidation, the second was forming a winning command post, the third was forming a team of volunteers, and the fourth was blusukan. While the airstrikes were carried out through social media such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

Abstract

Background This research analyzes the implementation of e-governance to accelerate digital transformation and build an adaptive training ecosystem at the Management and Leadership Training Center of the Supreme Court. Methods Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach through literature study and institutional observation, the findings are mapped using four analytical frameworks: Governance, Network, Institutional, and Multi-Level. Results The study reveals that integrating systems such as SIMDIKLAT, a Learning Management System (LMS), e-assessment, and e-administration has significant potential to create an intelligent, integrated, and accountable training ecosystem. The success of this transformation heavily relies on three main pillars: intensive digital collaboration across units, the implementation of robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and seamless system interoperability. However, the implementation faces significant challenges, including uneven technological infrastructure, a digital literacy gap among staff and trainers, and complex issues related to data security and a not-yet fully adaptive work culture. Conclusions The implications of these findings are exploratory, necessitating further empirical validation and testing to measure the specific impact of each framework on training performance and effectiveness. Practically, this research recommends strategic actions, such as strengthening and equalizing technology infrastructure, aligning curricula with digital competency needs, utilizing learning analytics data for decision-making, and building strategic partnerships with various stakeholders. The originality of this study lies in its contribution of a multidimensional analytical framework specifically designed to orchestrate e-governance transformation within government training institutions—a topic still relatively rarely discussed in a holistic and integrated manner in the existing literature.

Abstract

Background This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of environmental governance in handling forest and land fires (karhutla) in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan, during the 2023–2024 period. Forest and land fires in Banjarbaru continue to occur repeatedly despite the local government forming a task force, implementing hotspot monitoring technology, and implementing various mitigation policies. Methods This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through analysis of policy documents, official government reports, hotspot data from relevant agencies, and relevant scientific literature. Data analysis was conducted thematically through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Results The results of the study indicate that environmental governance in handling forest and land fires in Banjarbaru has not been optimal due to institutional fragmentation, weak coordination between actors, limited budget and resource capacity, and low community participation in prevention efforts. In addition, supervision of peatland conversion remains weak, thereby increasing vulnerability to fires. Conclusions This study concludes that strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing institutional capacity, ensuring transparency of fire information, and adopting a community-based prevention approach are necessary to achieve more effective and sustainable forest and land fire governance.

Abstract

Background This research examines local government policies in dealing with the demolition of the Hibisc Fantasy tourism area built on tea plantation land without permission for a change of use. The conversion of this land has caused environmental damage, including a reduction in water catchment areas that trigger flash floods from Puncak to Jakarta and Bekasi. Methods Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study, this research analyzes the legal basis, chronology of violations, and social dynamics resulting from this policy.   Results Based on Government Regulation Number 16 of 2021 and 2004, the demolition was carried out to enforce the law and restore ecological functions. However, this policy sparked protests due to socio-economic impacts such as job losses and disruptions to the micro economy. The government responded with greening programs and compensation. Conclusions The results of the study indicate the need for a more holistic approach so that law enforcement does not neglect the social and economic dimensions of the community.

Abstract

Background This study aims to analyze the political strategies employed by female politicians in shaping leadership images within local politics, with a case study of Gina Belanza Mulia in the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of Bondowoso Regency for the 2024–2029 period. Methods Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using reduction, presentation, and verification with source triangulation. Results The findings reveal that Gina Belanza integrates her vision, Gerakan Berani Maju (Movement to Dare Progress), with socially grounded communication, strategic use of digital media, and cultural relations with religious and local leaders. Offensive strategies are reflected in her image as a progressive and religious young leader, while defensive strategies are evident in consolidating support through party structures and local networks to overcome patriarchal and cultural barriers. Conclusion This study concludes that Gina Belanza’s political strategies and personal branding significantly strengthen women’s political representation in Bondowoso, marking a shift from descriptive to substantive representation. The implications suggest that digital communication combined with cultural adaptation can serve as a model for female politicians in local contexts to enhance leadership legitimacy and contribute to gender-based democratic transformation.

Abstract

Background This article examines why collaboration between formal organizations often fails to produce substantive public service outcomes in complex policy contexts. Focusing on local drug prevention services in Indonesia, this article addresses a conundrum in which administrative input, outreach activities, and inter-agency coordination are increasing, while prevention outcomes remain weak. Existing collaborative governance research explains how cross-sectoral coordination is formed, but it is less clear why institutionally active collaboration may remain ineffective substantively. Methods Using a qualitative single case study at the National Narcotics Agency in Gorontalo City, the study used interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and institutional documents to reconstruct the mechanisms linking collaboration and service performance. Results The findings suggest that collaboration operates primarily as procedural collaboration: formal forums, agreements, and participation are present, but engagement based on principles remains limited, shared motivation is uneven, and the capacity for joint action is fragmented. As a result, collaboration results in administrative outputs rather than stable service impacts. Conclusion This article contributes to collaborative governance theory by conceptualizing procedural collaboration as an internal constraint of collaborative governance and by extending the framework of the Collaborative Governance Regime towards service impact performance.

Abstract

Background Digital transformation has become a central agenda in public administration reform, including land administration, with the expectation of improving efficiency, transparency, and direct citizen access to services. In Indonesia, digital land administration has been promoted to simplify procedures and reduce informal practices. However, citizens continue to rely on intermediaries even after digital systems have been implemented. This study examines why intermediary dependence persists and how institutional arrangements shape access to digital land services. Methods This study employed a qualitative single-case study with a mechanism-based explanatory approach in Bone Bolango Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through repeated field visits, in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic coding and mechanism-based interpretation. Results The findings show that digitalization creates formal access but does not automatically produce practical accessibility. Limited digital literacy, administrative anxiety, fragmented institutional coordination, and hybrid administrative procedures continue to shape citizens’ experiences in accessing land services. Intermediaries remain important because they help citizens understand requirements, prepare documents, reduce procedural risks, and coordinate across institutions. Conclusion Digital reform does not automatically eliminate intermediary dependence in public service delivery. The effectiveness of digital governance should be assessed not only through technological availability and procedural efficiency, but also through citizens’ ability to access services directly and confidently. This study advances a relational institutional perspective on digital governance and suggests further comparative research across regions and public service sectors.

Abstract

Background Public sector reform increasingly relies on professionalism indicators and competency measurement systems to strengthen bureaucratic capacity and institutional accountability. However, governance scholarship remains limited in explaining how professionalism measurement contributes to organizational learning and adaptive capacity in public institutions. This study aims to develop the Reflective Professionalism Governance Model (RPGM) to explain how professionalism governance operates within Indonesia’s land administration reform. Methods The research employed a conceptual-analytical design through a systematic literature review, policy document analysis, institutional document review, and conceptual synthesis. The data were drawn from Scopus-indexed international literature, Indonesian civil service professionalism regulations, the State Civil Apparatus Professionalism Index (IPASN) policy framework, and institutional reports on land administration. The analysis integrated perspectives from competency governance, public professionalism, organizational learning, and reflective governance. Results The findings reveal two institutional trajectories. First, administrative professionalism emerges when professionalism indicators function primarily as procedural compliance mechanisms emphasizing reporting, discipline, and numerical performance targets. Second, reflective professionalism governance develops when indicators are used for competency diagnosis, adaptive organizational learning, collaborative professionalism, and institutional capacity transformation. Conclusion This study concludes that sustainable bureaucratic reform requires professionalism indicators to function as reflective governance infrastructure rather than merely administrative evaluation tools. RPGM contributes to governance literature by reconceptualizing professionalism measurement as an adaptive governance mechanism in public sector reform.

Abstract

Background Public information disclosure is an essential prerequisite for promoting transparent and accountable governance, as mandated by Law Number 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure in Indonesia. In this context, LPP RRI Gorontalo, as a regional public broadcasting institution, has an obligation to provide public information services through the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID). However, in practice, the implementation of public information disclosure policy within the institution has not yet been fully optimal. This study aims to examine the implementation of public information disclosure policy at LPP RRI Gorontalo using Edward III’s policy implementation theory. Methods The research employed a qualitative approach with a single case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis. Informants were selected purposively and consisted of 11 internal informants and 5 external informants. Results The findings show that the implementation of public information disclosure policy at LPP RRI Gorontalo has been carried out but has not yet operated optimally. In the communication dimension, policy directives and standard operating procedures are available, but technical understanding among implementers remains uneven. In the resources dimension, basic facilities are available, although human resource capacity and archive digitalization still require strengthening. In the disposition dimension, implementers have demonstrated basic commitment, although service orientation remains largely administrative. Meanwhile, in the bureaucratic structure dimension, formal role distribution has been established, but inter-unit coordination and the clarity of service procedures for the public still require improvement. Conclusion This study concludes that successful implementation of public information disclosure depends not only on the existence of regulations and formal institutional structures, but also on the organization’s capacity to translate policy into information services that are accessible, orderly, responsive, and sustainable.

Abstract

Background This qualitative-descriptive study identifies the forms of community participation and its driving factors in the 2024 Sicawan RRI Farming Road Development Program in Nagari Gadut, Agam Regency. Methods  Qualitative-Descriptive with grounded in Keith Davis’s participation framework encompassing mind, labor, goods, and money the research utilized interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. Results Findings reveal that while overall community participation is high, there are significant disparities in intensity across different forms. Labor participation emerged as the most dominant, driven by high enthusiasm for self-managed communal work (gotong royong) and reinforced by nagari policies prioritizing local labor, which reflects strong social capital and local ownership. Furthermore, material (goods) and financial participation were high, effectively addressing budget shortfalls in the Village Fund through transparent management by the Activity Management Team (TPK). Conclusions In contrast, "mind participation" during the planning and decision-making stages remained low and passive. This lack of involvement is attributed to uneven information dissemination, a lack of technical confidence among residents, and top-down communication patterns. Despite the limited intellectual involvement, the synergy between high physical, material, and financial contributions, supported by credible administration, ensured the successful implementation of the farming road project.
