Abstract

This study examines the practice of the Shadow State within the bureaucratic governance system of the Manokwari Regency Government. Bureaucratic governance plays an essential role in ensuring effective public administration and regional development. However, the bureaucratic system may become vulnerable when informal actors outside formal state institutions exert significant influence over governmental processes. This study uses a qualitative approach through literature review and analysis of local political dynamics. The findings reveal that the practice of the Shadow State in Manokwari Regency emerged from the early stage of the regent’s administration and was strengthened through informal political networks, kinship relations, and the utilization of individual political capital. Shadow state actors were able to dominate certain bureaucratic authorities through close relationships with formal state actors. The case of Jimmi Ell, who gained strategic influence as a special staff member to the Regent of Manokwari, demonstrates how informal authority can shape legal and administrative processes within local government. The study concludes that Shadow State practices strengthen patron-client politics, weaken bureaucratic neutrality and accountability, and create opportunities for informal elites to consolidate power in local politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public perceptions of local government policies in addressing Illegal Gold Mining (PETI) activities in Merangin Regency. This issue is crucial because it not only causes environmental degradation but also social risks and the community's economic dependence on illegal mining activities. Although various regulations have been implemented, previous studies have focused more on legal and environmental aspects, so there is still a gap in understanding the role of public perceptions on policy effectiveness. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 100 respondents in 12 affected sub districts. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through evaluation of the outer model (validity and reliability) and the inner model (relationships between variables). The variables analyzed include socialization, law enforcement, and environmental rehabilitation. The results show that all independent variables have a positive and significant effect on public views, with path coefficients of 0.353; 0.386; and 0.392, respectively (p < 0.05). Descriptively, public perception is in the positive category. However, a dilemma emerged between perception and behavior, where positive views were not followed by behavioral changes due to economic dependence on illegal mining. This research highlights the gap between policy acceptance and effectiveness. Therefore, integration of environmental rehabilitation and sustainable livelihood programs is needed to more effectively encourage community behavior change. In addition, further research is recommended to develop a mixed methods approach, expand the sample size, and test mediating variables such as economic factors and trust in government.

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine in-depth the implementation of the Independent Cultural Village policy in Katongan Village, Nglipar Subdistrict, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region Province. The primary focus of the research was three key aspects: how the village government develops local potential, the extent of community participation in the policy process, and the village government's ability as policymakers to implement and direct the program. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews with various key informants, and documentation studies related to policy implementation. All collected data were analyzed using an interactive approach involving data reduction, data presentation, and systematic conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of the Independent Cultural Village policy in Katongan has been relatively successful. This relates to the development of village potential, which is focused on four main pillars: cultural villages, tourism villages, entrepreneurial villages, and prime villages. Although the development of these potentials is not a new, widely recognized initiative, it rather strengthens existing ones. Community participation has been quite active during the implementation phase, such as involvement in arts programs, tourism, and local businesses. However, community participation remains limited to the planning and evaluation stages, resulting in community aspirations not being fully addressed. Meanwhile, village governments have demonstrated their ability to manage programs through targeted strategies and target setting to promote village independence. However, disagreements persist between village governments and the community regarding the use of special funds.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of tourism as a Local Economic Development (LED) strategy in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study utilizes secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), local government documents, and recent academic literature on tourism and local development. The analysis reveals that culture- and nature-based tourism in Tana Toraja holds significant potential, as evidenced by the increase in domestic tourist visits, which reached 26,662 people during the 2025 Eid al-Fitr period, with the religious destination Buntu Burake serving as the primary attraction. However, tourism development faces challenges such as accessibility issues, infrastructure limitations, and a lack of innovation among local communities. Although annual programs such as Lovely December and the Toraja International Festival have increased the destination’s exposure, sustainable economic linkages have not yet been optimally achieved. This article concludes that the success of tourism as an instrument of LED depends on strengthening community-based institutions, collaboration among stakeholders, the development of supporting infrastructure, and a consistent global branding strategy.

Abstract

Data on open government (OGD) implementation in Indonesia remains under-researched, particularly in provinces outside Java. While existing OGD studies have examined the legal framework or technical administrative dimensions separately, no studies have simultaneously integrated legal obligations, administrative capacity, and political commitment as determinants of OGD outcomes. This study addresses this gap by investigating OGD policy implementation in six districts in West Sulawesi Province, one of the youngest and most administratively challenged provinces in Indonesia, through a qualitative case study design with 12 purposively selected key informants, field observations, and document analysis covering the period 2021–2025. The results show that OGD compliance scores across all West Sulawesi districts increased from 33.2% in 2021 to a projected 57.0% in 2025, but remain below the national threshold of 60%. Theoretically, this study contributes to OGD implementation theory by demonstrating that in low-capacity local governments, administrative capacity is a constraint that determines whether legal obligations and political commitments translate into substantive outcomes, thereby extending the application of the implementation capacity framework to the context of subnational digital governance. Practically, this study recommends a sequential, capacity-focused reform agenda, prioritizing digital skills training, infrastructure investment, and organizational culture transformation as prerequisites for effective OGD governance in Indonesia's periphery.
