Abstract

Border villages in West Kalimantan are experiencing growth and increased vibrancy, particularly in their coastal and riverine areas, driven by cross-border trade. The coastal region serves as a natural tourist attraction, highly sought after by adventure enthusiasts. This paper focuses on the village of Temajuk in Kalimantan, Indonesia, which borders the village of Telok Melano in Sarawak, Malaysia. Cross-border trade in both villages remains traditional and operates legally through t`he Border Crossing Post. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of the 2025 import policy on cross-border trade in the border villages of Sambas, West Kalimantan. Employing ethnographic qualitative methods, the research investigates whether socio-cultural changes have occurred within the communities of the two countries’ villages, which share ethnic, cultural, and kinship ties, as a result of the import policy. The findings reveal that the policy has not resulted in fundamental changes, as cross-border trade continues to be conducted traditionally. Family ties often suffice to navigate challenges posed by the policy. This activity is supported by the 1970 Cross-Border Trade Agreement, which allows border communities to trade without undergoing complex import procedures to meet their daily needs. Most policy-related obstacles are typically resolved through kinship networks. The research findings indicate that the policy did not bring about fundamental changes because cross-border trade remains traditional. Various hindering policies resolve through kinship. This activity is supported by the 1970 Cross-Border Trade Agreement, where border communities can trade without having to go through complex import policies to meet their daily needs.  There is a unique phenomenon: local and global economies integrate. The two governments have plans to open the legal border gates. These research findings can inform policy recommendations upon the formal reopening of border gates. The enforcement of import regulations should include special provisions for essential goods that are unavailable in the district capital, Sambas

Abstract

The Indonesian government has promoted e-government as a core instrument of bureaucratic reform to improve public service quality and governance performance. However, empirical evidence indicates that digital transformation does not automatically increase public trust. This study aims to analyze how e-government implementation influences public trust in local government public services in Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and non-participant observation involving civil servants and citizens as service users. The findings reveal that e-government implementation enhances service efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, which positively shape citizens’ service experiences and strengthen public trust. Nevertheless, challenges related to digital literacy disparities, infrastructural limitations, and organizational resistance remain significant barriers. This study contributes to public administration literature by highlighting the mediating role of service quality and citizen experience in building public trust within the Indonesian local government context and provides policy implications for strengthening digital governance at the local level.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and social media has significantly transformed various aspects of social life, including children's interactions and activities in the digital environment. In response to growing concerns regarding children's online safety, the Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi), introduced a policy restricting social media access for children under the age of 16. This study aims to examine the policy from the perspective of public policy communication, focusing on policy dissemination, regulatory objectives, and its potential societal implications. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review, this research analyzes relevant academic publications, government regulations, and policy documents related to child protection in digital spaces. The findings suggest that the policy constitutes a strategic regulatory measure to mitigate the adverse effects of social media use among children, including cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and excessive digital dependency. Furthermore, the study highlights that the effectiveness of policy implementation is closely linked to the government's ability to communicate the policy effectively and foster collaborative engagement among key stakeholders, including parents, digital platform providers, and educational institutions. The study contributes to the growing discourse on digital governance.

Abstract

Despite Indonesia’s commitment to the WHO 2030 cervical cancer elimination targets, screening coverage remains below target and current policies primarily focus on women aged 30 years and older. This policy brief evaluates the epidemiological, economic, and implementation rationale for expanding cervical cancer screening to women aged 20–29 years in Indonesia. A policy analysis and evidence synthesis were conducted using data from Badan Pusat Statistik, GLOBOCAN, national policy documents, economic evaluation studies, and implementation reports. Epidemiological projections, cost-utility evidence, and comparative implementation experiences were reviewed to assess the potential impact of earlier screening. Women aged 20–29 years represent approximately 21.67 million individuals and a critical period for detecting persistent high-risk HPV infections before progression to cervical cancer. Evidence suggests that expanding HPV DNA-based screening to this age group could reduce future cervical cancer incidence, improve early detection, and generate substantial long-term healthcare savings. Implementation models such as HPV self-sampling and digital patient tracking have demonstrated the potential to overcome geographic, psychological, and health-system barriers. Integrating women aged 20–29 years into Indonesia’s cervical cancer screening strategy may strengthen progress toward elimination targets and improve equity, efficiency, and long-term health outcomes. Policy efforts should prioritize phased implementation, digital integration, and expanded access to HPV-based screening..

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of public-sector human resource management has introduced Algorithmic Management into Indonesian bureaucracy through the State Civil Apparatus Information System (SIASN) and the Computer Assisted Test (CAT) administered by the National Civil Service Agency (BKN), two systems that manage the career data of more than 4.3 million civil servants nationwide. This article analyzes that implementation as a case study, identifies the risks of algorithmic bias, and formulates recommendations for ethical artificial-intelligence governance in the public sector. The study employs a document-based case study combined with a critical literature review and comparative policy analysis, applying the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) framework across four dimensions (fairness, transparency, accountability, and effectiveness) together with a five-year longitudinal panel of eight BKN performance indicators (2020–2024). Methodologically, this design triangulates qualitative document analysis of regulatory and institutional texts with quantitative trend analysis of secondary panel data, allowing textual and measurable indicators of algorithmic implementation to be cross-validated[AM2.1].The findings show that SIASN and CAT have demonstrably reduced recruitment corruption and improved administrative efficiency; however, the AIA evaluation reveals significant deficits in fairness (geographic and cognitive bias) and accountability (the absence of a right to explanation), as well as a digital divide that structurally and consistently disadvantages civil servants in remote regions over the five-year period. The study concludes that algorithmic efficiency alone is an insufficient measure of reform success: Indonesia requires FATE-based AI ethics regulation, independent algorithmic auditing, a right to explanation for affected civil servants, and digital infrastructure and literacy equalization for remote regions.
