<![CDATA[This study examines the role of the village government in developing village-owned enterprises within Numbing Village, Bintan Regency, utilizing an empirical qualitative design based on Ryaas Rasyid's theoretical framework of governmental functions. Primary data gathered through semi-structured interviews and field observations, combined with secondary administrative documentation from 2022 to 2026, reveal that the village administration actively regulates, dynamizes, and facilitates local economic initiatives through planning documents, deliberations, capital injections, and infrastructural support. However, empirical findings indicate that enterprise development remains constrained by limited managerial capacity, low community participation, administrative bottlenecks, and unfulfilled budgetary programs such as the 2025 food security allocation. The analysis demonstrates that while statutory mechanisms provide a legal foundation for village enterprises, operational success depends heavily on continuous capacity-building programs, transparent resource allocation, and direct field mentoring. Consequently, strengthening institutional sustainability necessitates adaptive administrative leadership, enhanced human resource readiness, and collaborative networks to transform village enterprises into effective drivers of sustainable rural economic independence and community welfare]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the operational realities of public participation within the municipal development planning forum (Musrenbang) in Tanjungpinang Timur Village, Bukit Bestari Subdistrict, Tanjungpinang City. Utilizing an empirical sociolegal research design, the investigation juxtaposes statutory mandates under Law Number 25 of 2004, Law Number 23 of 2014, and Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 86 of 2017 against field execution practices. Data were gathered through in depth interviews with eleven key informants and procedural documentation analysis, subsequently processed using the interactive qualitative model of Miles and Huberman. Findings demonstrate that participatory planning mechanisms function primarily as procedural compliance routines rather than genuine platforms for deliberative democracy. Structural reliance on neighborhood elite delegation restricts direct citizen involvement, while bureaucratic filters during municipal technical reviews systematically prioritize physical infrastructure projects over socio-economic welfare proposals. Consequently, the local planning framework reflects top down administrative dominance, reducing community input to a symbolic legitimization tool. Reforming this system requires institutionalized legal guarantees, binding participatory budgeting mechanisms, and unmediated deliberative spaces to ensure equitable regional development and meaningful grassroots empowerment. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines multi-actor administrative arrangements in epidemic prevention within municipal governance frameworks. Qualitative descriptive methodology was utilized through semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis involving state agencies and civil society organizations. The analytical framework established by Ansell and Gash evaluates starting conditions, facilitative leadership, and institutional design. Findings indicate that bridging resource gaps and establishing formal regulatory protocols are essential for effective cross-sectoral coordination. Furthermore, transparent accountability mechanisms and adaptive institutional structures significantly enhance service delivery for vulnerable populations. The research highlights that sustained collaboration requires balancing bureaucratic authority with community-level engagement to achieve enduring public health outcome.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the implementation of good governance principles in the execution of the waste collection fee policy in Tanjungpinang City during 2024, employing an empirical qualitative case study approach. Primary and secondary data were gathered through structured regional regulations, municipal archives, policy documentation, and in-depth interviews with eleven key informants comprising environmental officials, revenue administrators, legislative members, policy analysts, and local taxpayers, alongside direct field observations. The collected empirical material underwent rigorous qualitative analysis through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with methodological validation achieved via comprehensive source triangulation. The findings indicate that while institutional accountability and informational dissemination channels have been formally established, their operational efficacy remains constrained by inconsistent supervisory reviews and limited public comprehension. Moreover, regulatory enforcement suffers from widespread non-compliance and incomplete taxpayer registration, undermining municipal revenue targets and local fiscal autonomy. The research concludes that optimizing urban environmental governance necessitates strengthening administrative oversight, enhancing interactive communication strategies, and enforcing statutory provisions consistently across all residential and commercial sectors. ]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid expansion of digital transformation has increased the demand for adaptive and legally coherent governance of passive telecommunications infrastructure, requiring regional governments to formulate regulations that are consistent with the evolving national legal framework. This study aims to analyze the authority of the Ngawi Regency Government in regulating passive telecommunications infrastructure, assess the harmonization of the Draft Regional Regulation with Indonesia's national legislation, and formulate a normative reconstruction model that strengthens legal certainty and adaptive digital governance. This research employs a non-empirical juridical (doctrinal) method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Primary legal materials comprise statutes, government regulations, regional regulations, and the Draft Regional Regulation, complemented by secondary and tertiary legal materials, which are analyzed through grammatical, systematic, historical, and teleological interpretation. The findings demonstrate that the regional government's regulatory authority is constitutionally and statutorily justified, although several provisions require further harmonization with the risk-based business licensing regime, spatial planning regulations, and the distribution of governmental authority. The study proposes a regulatory reconstruction model emphasizing legislative harmonization, institutional coordination, digital governance transformation, and infrastructure-sharing mechanisms to enhance legal certainty, administrative effectiveness, and sustainable digital infrastructure governance while contributing to the development of adaptive regional regulatory theory. ]]>

<![CDATA[School dropout remains a significant challenge to educational equity and human resource development, particularly at the local level. This study aims to analyze the strategy of the Bintan Regency Education Office in reducing school dropout rates in East Bintan District. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews and documentation involving education officials, school principals, guidance and counseling teachers, parents, and school dropout children. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The analysis employed J. Kooten’s strategic framework, consisting of organizational strategy, program strategy, supporting resource strategy, and institutional strategy. The findings indicate that the Education Office has implemented its strategy through policy formulation, Out-of-School Children identification, educational assistance, PIP and BOS programs, counseling services, home visits, equivalency education through PKBM, and stakeholder coordination. However, implementation remains constrained by socioeconomic conditions, limited parental awareness, low student motivation, difficulties in reaching dropout children, and insufficient inter-institutional coordination. The study concludes that stronger data management, continuous mentoring, parental involvement, resource optimization, and cross-sectoral collaboration are required to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of dropout reduction programs in East Bintan District.]]>

<![CDATA[The Fishermen Community Empowerment Program implemented by the Bintan Regency Government in Pengudang Village in 2024 was designed to strengthen fishermen's capacity, productivity, social protection, and welfare. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the program and identify supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and documentation. Nineteen informants were selected purposively, consisting of representatives from the Department of Fisheries, village government, Village Consultative Body, coastal youth community, and fishermen. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings were analyzed using George C. Edward III's policy implementation model, covering communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results indicate that the program was generally implemented and provided fishing equipment, social protection, fish-processing facilities, and seasonal assistance. However, communication was inconsistent, technical mentoring remained limited, and monitoring and evaluation were insufficient. Positive implementer commitment and inter-institutional coordination supported implementation. Strengthening continuous communication, technical assistance, field facilitation, coordination, and monitoring is therefore necessary to improve program effectiveness and sustainability. ]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension and diabetes mellitus require continuous preventive, promotive, and early detection services at the community level. The Integrated Primary Health Care (ILP) Posyandu Program was implemented to expand primary health services through a life-course approach. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of ILP Posyandu for hypertension and diabetes mellitus management in Tanjungpinang City. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants consisted of DKP2KB officials, primary health center personnel, health workers, Posyandu cadres, and community members. The findings indicate that ILP implementation integrates screening, health education, consultation, recording, and referral services. Policy support and coordination among DKP2KB, primary health centers, cadres, and local community structures support program implementation. However, community participation remains uneven, particularly among adolescents and productive-age adults. Implementation is also constrained by limited health personnel, increased cadre workload, variations in cadre capacity, and physical limitations at several service locations. Strengthening health promotion, community outreach, cadre training, human resources, facilities, coordination, and monitoring is required to improve implementation quality and sustain community-based hypertension and diabetes mellitus services.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes the placement of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) through the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) programme in Japan during 2019–2024 using Michael J. Piore’s Dual Labour Market Theory. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach and library research method based on secondary data from academic literature, government publications, policy documents, and official statistics from Indonesia and Japan. The findings indicate that PMI placement increased substantially from 3,061 workers in 2019 to 44,298 workers in 2024, following a temporary decline during the COVID-19 period. In 2024, Indonesian workers were concentrated in elderly care, food and beverage processing, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, construction, and fisheries. These sectors share characteristics associated with the secondary labour market, including labour shortages, demanding working conditions, and relatively limited attractiveness to domestic workers. Japan’s ageing population and declining working-age population contributed to persistent structural labour demand, while Indonesia provided a significant supply of workers through bilateral labour cooperation. The findings support the applicability of Dual Labour Market Theory in explaining PMI placement through SSW as a structural response to labour shortages in Japan. ]]>

<![CDATA[Flooding remains a recurring disaster in Kecamatan Bintan Timur, particularly Kijang Kota Urban Village, requiring sustained mitigation involving government institutions and communities. This study aims to analyze flood mitigation implementation by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Bintan Regency using William Nick Carter’s non-structural mitigation framework. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving BPBD, the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency, TAGANA, and local residents. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on six indicators: legal framework, institutional development, community awareness, training and education, incentives, and early warning systems. The findings indicate that mitigation has been implemented through regulatory instruments, institutional coordination, community education, disaster simulations, capacity-building programs, and early warning communication networks. Community awareness has improved, although participation remains uneven, while training activities are constrained by limited funding. Specific incentives have not been established for mitigation actors. Early warning mechanisms using digital applications, WhatsApp groups, and local communication networks have supported information dissemination but require stronger digital literacy. The study concludes that mitigation is functioning but requires institutional strengthening and sustained community participation. ]]>
