Abstract

This study identifies and maps the stakeholders involved in managing the Nyaru Menteng Urban Forest Ecotourism Area in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, and examines their relative power and interests in the management process. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, documentation, and snowball sampling. Stakeholder mapping was conducted using Bryson's Power versus Interest Grid to classify actors according to their level of influence and concern. The findings identify ten stakeholders with different mandates, capacities, and degrees of involvement. The Central Kalimantan Provincial Forestry Office is positioned as the key player because it holds the formal authority and has a high interest in planning, implementing, supervising, and evaluating the area. Three government agencies are classified as context setters: the Central Kalimantan Provincial Culture and Tourism Office, the Palangka Raya City Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports Office, and the Central Kalimantan Provincial Public Works and Spatial Planning Office. Six stakeholders are categorized as subjects, namely ecotourism area management officers, the Tumbang Tahai urban village administration, the Batuah Tourism Awareness Group, the local community, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, and the Bukit Batu Sector Police. No stakeholder is classified as crowd. The mapping shows that management effectiveness depends on stronger inter-agency coordination and greater empowerment of high-interest stakeholders whose formal influence remains limited. A more structured collaboration mechanism is therefore needed to support inclusive and sustainable ecotourism governance.

Abstract

This study examines community-based tourism governance in Palangka Raya City through a document analysis of Palangka Raya City Regulation Number 9 of 2024 on Tourism Villages. The research aims to assess the regulation's philosophical and legal foundations, institutional design, community-empowerment provisions, and implementation gaps from the perspectives of collaborative governance and Community-Based Tourism. A qualitative document-analysis approach was employed by systematically reviewing the regulation's articles and comparing them with relevant governance literature and secondary evidence on local tourism management. The findings show that the regulation represents a progressive shift from state-centered tourism administration toward a more collaborative arrangement by assigning facilitative roles to government agencies and providing legal recognition for community-based tourism management organizations. It also requires the preservation of Dayak cultural identity, local environmental values, and ecological sustainability within tourism destinations. Nevertheless, several important policy gaps remain. The regulation does not establish a clear institutional mechanism for conflict resolution, a detailed and equitable revenue-sharing formula, or operational standards for environmental carrying capacity. These limitations may weaken implementation when interests among government, community groups, customary institutions, and private actors diverge. The study concludes that the effectiveness of the regulation depends heavily on a comprehensive Mayoral Regulation that operationalizes collaborative forums, formally integrates customary institutions, establishes visitor carrying-capacity limits, and provides transparent mechanisms for equitable benefit distribution.

Abstract

Public participation is a central element of democratic village governance because it allows citizens to influence priorities, policy choices, and development decisions that directly affect their communities. This study examines the forms and level of public participation in the political decision-making process in MKCM Village, North Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province, as well as the factors shaping participation and its implications for policy legitimacy and effectiveness. A qualitative case study approach was used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving village officials, members of the Village Consultative Body, community and religious leaders, women representatives, and residents involved in village deliberations. Data were analyzed interactively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that participation is relatively active but remains predominantly representative through neighborhood heads, hamlet heads, and community leaders. Participation is visible in hamlet deliberations, village development planning forums, and the submission of community aspirations. Its quality is influenced by access to information, political awareness, communication, trust, and the responsiveness of the village government. Although participatory forums strengthen formal legitimacy and public acceptance of village decisions, substantive participation remains constrained by limited direct involvement, weak follow-up on community proposals, and continued domination by village elites. Strengthening transparency, feedback mechanisms, civic capacity, and inclusive deliberative spaces is therefore essential to improve democratic and responsive village decision-making.

Abstract

Indonesia's Free Nutritious Meals (Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) program represents the transformation of an electoral promise into a large, nationwide recurrent spending commitment. Although international evidence supports school feeding as an instrument of social protection, education, and human capital development, its effectiveness depends on fiscal capacity, accurate targeting, nutritional quality, food safety, procurement integrity, and monitoring. This study analyzes MBG implementation through a rapid systematic literature review of scholarly publications, official documents, and credible policy data published between 2011 and June 2026. The review synthesizes evidence across four dimensions: substantive benefits, fiscal risks, implementation capacity, and public accountability. The findings indicate that school feeding can improve attendance, household food security, selected nutritional outcomes, and local food-system linkages when program design and delivery are adequate. However, the rapid expansion of MBG into a major national expenditure item creates risks of budget rigidity, weak targeting, supplier concentration, uneven kitchen standards, food-safety incidents, and broader macro-fiscal pressure. The analysis also shows that measuring success only by meals distributed is insufficient because program performance should be assessed through nutritional, educational, safety, fiscal, and local-economic outcomes. The study concludes that MBG requires phased expansion, vulnerability-based prioritization, transparent and decentralized procurement, real-time food-safety monitoring, outcome-based evaluation, and explicit fiscal safeguards. Without these reforms, a nutrition intervention intended to strengthen human capital may become politically popular while imposing growing administrative and fiscal burdens

Abstract

This study examines how digital data governance supports poverty alleviation and community economic empowerment in Lebak Regency, with particular attention to the use of Targeting Data for the Acceleration of Extreme Poverty Elimination (P3KE). A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using interviews, direct observation, and document-based evidence, while data were analyzed interactively through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The analytical framework adopts Suharto’s community empowerment dimensions of enabling, empowering, and protecting. The findings show that digital data provides a strategic foundation for identifying poor households, mapping locations, defining intervention priorities, and connecting vulnerable groups with economic empowerment programs. However, the effectiveness of P3KE and other government databases is constrained by discrepancies between administrative records and actual field conditions, limited data integration and updating, uneven human resource capacity, inadequate technological infrastructure, and weak internet connectivity. These limitations can reduce targeting accuracy and weaken the accountability of poverty alleviation programs. The study therefore emphasizes the need for routine field validation, interoperable data management, continuous updating, stronger inter-organizational coordination, improved staff capacity, and adequate digital infrastructure. Effective data governance should also link poverty identification with access to capital, technology, information, markets, training, and public services. The study concludes that digitalization will contribute to inclusive and sustainable poverty reduction only when data quality, institutional capacity, and community empowerment are integrated within an evidence-based governance system
