Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of agile governance principles in the management of the smart city program in the City of Yogyakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study design, this study relies on secondary data from official local government documents, smart city program reports, and digital service platforms such as Jogja Smart Service (JSS), Gatra Matra, and Qrisna. Data analysis was conducted iteratively, categorizing findings based on the six principles of agile governance: good enough governance, business-driven, human-focused, based on quick wins, systematic and adaptive approach, and simple design and continuous refinement. The analysis results indicate that the implementation of agile governance in the City of Yogyakarta has proceeded selectively, with primary strengths in the principles of “based on quick wins” and “good enough governance,” as evidenced by the success of digital services in providing fast and realistic access aligned with the region’s capacity. However, the principles of a human-focused, systematic, and adaptive approach, as well as a business-driven approach, remain at a moderate level due to reactive community participation, reactive adaptation, and a private-sector collaboration that is not yet optimal. This study concludes that the success of a smart city is determined not only by technology adoption but also by the deeper integration of agile governance principles. These findings have important implications for local governments in strengthening mechanisms for public participation, system interoperability, and cross-sectoral collaboration to achieve more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable urban governance.

Abstract

First-time voters require effective voter education to develop the knowledge and readiness necessary for meaningful participation in democratic processes. This research investigates the effectiveness of voter education socialization conducted by the Bantul Regency General Election Commission during the 2024 Regional Head Election using Andre Hardjana’s communication effectiveness framework. This research employs a qualitative case study approach to examine communication targets, message content, timeliness, media, message format, and source credibility through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The findings indicate that voter education socialization was generally effective in improving basic electoral literacy among first-time voters. Its effectiveness was supported by appropriate audience targeting, relevant educational content, timely implementation, and the credibility of election organizers. However, limitations in information outreach, activity intensity, language accessibility, and participatory engagement reduced its overall impact. The study argues that communication effectiveness in voter education depends not only on message delivery but also on the accessibility and inclusiveness of communication strategies. This research contributes to the development of political communication and electoral studies by applying Hardjana’s communication effectiveness framework to the context of voter education for first-time voters in local elections. Its novelty lies in identifying how communication effectiveness indicators shape voter education outcomes and in highlighting the need for evaluation mechanisms that measure political awareness beyond electoral participation. The findings provide practical insights for designing more adaptive and effective voter education programs for young voters.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the harmonization of the SATRIYA Governance Culture and the BerAKHLAK Core Values, as well as their impact on strengthening the performance of civil servants in the Organization Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using primary data from interviews and secondary data from journal articles, reports, and other relevant literature. The data were then analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which consists of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings indicate that the harmonization of SATRIYA and BerAKHLAK has been successfully institutionalized across artifacts, embraced values, and underlying assumptions. The integration of local cultural values and national public service values has created a complementary organizational culture that supports professionalism, accountability, discipline, service orientation, adaptability, and collaboration. Furthermore, this harmonization contributes to strengthening civil servant performance, particularly in terms of work volume, work quality, timeliness, attendance, and cooperation. This study concludes that integrating local government culture with national bureaucratic values can be an effective strategy for strengthening organizational culture and civil servant performance.  The recommendation is that a comprehensive regulatory overhaul is needed, particularly regarding the elaboration of its components (artifacts and embraced values), and that fostering innovative values is crucial for building civil servants’ creativity and strengthening bureaucratic reform within the work culture to achieve sustainable, agile governance.

Abstract

The Yogyakarta Provincial Government has sought to improve public services by applying agile governance principles, with particular emphasis on transforming population administration services, including the provision of the Electronic Identity Card (e-KTP) through the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil). Despite relatively adequate infrastructure, the implementation of e-KTP services continues to face persistent technical and administrative challenges. This study employs a qualitative research approach using secondary data analysis. Data were gathered from academic journals, government reports, official policy documents, and reputable online media sources. Content analysis was applied to examine the alignment between agile governance principles and e-KTP service delivery in Yogyakarta. The findings indicate that, although the e-KTP infrastructure is already well available, significant obstacles persist across six dimensions of service quality: information access, service time certainty, cost transparency, fairness in service delivery, bureaucratic integrity, and responsiveness to complaints. Innovations such as the drive-thru e-KTP service introduced by the Yogyakarta City Population and Civil Registration Agency represent positive steps toward more responsive public service delivery. However, structural deficiencies in SOP enforcement, geographic equity, and inter-agency coordination undermine the full realization of agile governance principles. Agile governance provides a viable framework for transforming e-KTP service delivery in Yogyakarta, but sustained reform requires clearer SOPs, stronger coordination, and greater community participation. These findings contribute to broader theoretical discussions on digital public service transformation in developing countries.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data into disaster governance represents a transformative paradigm shift in how states and institutions anticipate, manage, and respond to disasters. Despite growing scholarly interest, the trajectory and thematic coherence of this interdisciplinary field remain insufficiently mapped. This study aims to systematically map the intellectual landscape of AI and big data research in disaster governance by identifying dominant thematic clusters, tracing the temporal evolution of research priorities, and uncovering structural gaps between technical innovation and governance readiness. This study addresses that gap through a bibliometric analysis of 251 publications retrieved from the Scopus database (2006–April 2026), employing keyword co-occurrence network analysis and thematic mapping using VOSviewer and RStudio. Three dominant thematic clusters were identified: AI-driven smart governance systems, machine learning-based predictive analytics, and deep learning for real-time sensing. The findings reveal a clear evolution from foundational data-mining methods (2020–2021) to the integration of IoT and social media analytics (2022–2023), and, most recently, to precision approaches including spatio-temporal risk assessment and remote sensing (2024–2025). Critically, the analysis uncovers a structural gap between technical innovation and governance readiness, particularly in terms of institutional adoption, ethical frameworks, and digital equity. These findings contribute an evidence-based roadmap that advances both theoretical understanding of the AI–governance nexus in disaster risk reduction and practical guidance for policymakers designing adaptive, collaborative, and ethically grounded strategies in the data-driven era. Future research should address cross-national governance frameworks, digital equity in AI deployment, and the integration of community-responsive data systems into national disaster risk reduction ecosystems.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing more rapidly than the institutional arrangements designed to govern it, creating a persistent governance lag. Although agile governance and AI governance address this challenge from complementary perspectives, they have largely evolved as separate bodies of scholarship. This study develops an integrative conceptual framework by examining their convergence through a narrative review based on a transparent multi-source search and thematic synthesis. The analysis identifies three dimensions of convergence: diagnostic convergence, reflected in a shared recognition of governance lag and the Collingridge dilemma, normative convergence, demonstrated by common commitments to transparency, accountability, participation, and continuous learning, and instrumental convergence, expressed through regulatory sandboxes, policy laboratories, anticipatory governance, and lifecycle-based AI oversight. The findings further conceptualize agile AI governance as the application of agile governance meta-principles to AI governance while distinguishing it from adaptive, anticipatory, experimentalist, and responsible AI governance. The review also reveals that the principal challenge lies in the structural tension between agility and accountability, driven by the mismatch between technological and institutional change. Drawing on the Indonesian context, the study argues that governance agility should be operationalized through measurable indicators, institutional safeguards, and continuous evaluation, and proposes a future research agenda for conceptual refinement, empirical validation, comparative analysis, and governance measurement.

Abstract

As a cornerstone initiative designed to fundamentally restructure Indonesia’s human capital development, the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) policy was launched to combat systemic stunting and improve public health, yet its initial implementation has encountered intense friction and sharp public skepticism across digital spaces. This study evaluates the social legitimacy and public reception of this flagship national welfare program by utilizing NVivo 12 Plus to systematically collect, code, and analyze real-time netizen discourse harvested directly from platform X (formerly Twitter). The empirical findings reveal a highly adversarial and polarized digital landscape, marked by a staggering 90.91% negative sentiment profile. Content and narrative analyses show that the digital public sphere is heavily dominated by open critiques (47.37%) and mobilized "Rising Voices" (36.84%), centering on acute food poisoning incidents alongside severe anxieties regarding budget allocations and corrupt procurement mechanisms. Consequently, the government must rapidly implement transparent governance and stringent food safety protocols to prevent digital resistance from hardening into permanent civil non-compliance

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the comparative implementation of UNDP poverty reduction policies in Rwanda and Haiti in the context of achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 1: No Poverty. Using a qualitative comparative method, this study explores the policy transfer process, adaptation, and outcomes in the two countries based on the Policy Transfer Theory by Dolowitz and Marsh. Data was collected from UNDP reports, country evaluations, and secondary sources. Rwanda was chosen as a case of relative success, while Haiti represents a case of limited effectiveness. The research found that Rwanda's success was driven by strong local adaptation, stakeholder participation, and integration of poverty policies with national development plans. In contrast, Haiti faces challenges such as weak governance, lack of local ownership, and over-reliance on external actors. The findings highlight that successful policy transfer requires contextual adaptation, institutional capacity, and inclusive governance. This research contributes to the understanding of global governance in development policy and emphasizes the importance of adapting international frameworks to local realities. It underscores how policy transfer mechanisms can support or hinder the achievement of global development goals depending on national conditions and the quality of governance.
