Abstract

Development-Axes (DA) theory , is a theory which is originally stated by Pottier (1963), and restated by Hilhorst (1972) as wellas stated as an alternative growth theory (Paelinck and Nijkamp, 1975, 1978; Richardson 1978, 198, 2011) in explaining theexistence of nodes or centers along development axes and the end-point cities (Richardson, 1978,1981). or prime center or growthpole (Hilhorst, 1972) connected. Some of the real evidences of the implementation are the growing of many cities along highways inAmerica, along Grote Postweg road in Indonesia, and in many other countries. So it can be said that the theory is significance asdevelopment strategy in the world, especially in making place from transport-stop node which has role as infant settlement to belarger settlement (maybe as town or city in the future) along development axes. This paper focuses on seeking theoretical explanationas new understanding about how the growth of transport-stop node (as one of the local nodes) along DA that is influenced by theflow of people goods along the axis. We found that the growth cannot be explained by resource-based growth theory alone andneither other conventional theories of city growth. In fact, not all transport-stop node along DA could have same growth whether theflow of people and goods are equal along the DA. Based on the observation and in-depth interview as well as questionnaire, wefound that the growth of transport-stop node is initiated by the existence of transport facility or service at development axes. We alsofound that the growth of transport-stop node has five stages of growth and the “attractiveness” as the significant factor to the growthof transport-stop node to be lager settlement. We argue that the implication of the explanation to the policy is useful indecentralized era in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study will examine the implementation of Jamkesmas (Jaminan Kesehatan Masyarakat-Health Insurance Schemefor People) and Jamkedsa (Jaminan Kesehatan Masyarakat Daerah-Health Insurance Scheme for Local People). Both areinno-vative policies in term of health financing, since they reflect more the spirit of insurance compared to the previouspolicies which were merely about financial aid. However, these policies do not reflect the ideals of policy coordination.Several theoretical reviews about social health insurance are applied to figure out the spirit of Indonesian health insurancesocio-logically and culturally. The Colebatch’s framework of vertical and horizontal dimensions of policy is used as themain tool of analysis for measuring whether both Jamkesmas and Jamkesda are categorized as coordinated policies or not.Qualitative research approach is used as the method in order to gain in-depth information about the current polemic ofJamkesmas and Jamkesda implementations. Qualitative analysis method is applied during the process of analysis. Thesecondary data will be collected, sorted, coded and analyzed. Those several steps aim to cross check the validity of each datafor answering the research questions. The result of this study shows that Jamkesmas and Jamkedsa lack of coordinationduring the process of policy making which has led to complicated problems at the implementation stage namely: thelawsuit/multiple interpretations of the law, unstructured policy stages at the vertical level, complicated problems athorizontal stages and conflict among institutional governments. Moreover, the nature of policy coordinationin Indonesia is still reactive. This fact causes policy inconsistency which has the effect of law uncertainty and poorquality of public services.

Thestudy is qualitative in nature making use of case study method in which an in-depth analysis of primary data obtained fromeight informants, four of whom are town mayors and their four incumbent municipal treasurers, is employed. The findingsrevealed that the mayor informants got elected through vote buying and bribery. Politics and family matters intersect asinformants are supported by their families during election who used guns, gold and goons to ensure election victory. Theclannish nature of the community finds expression also in the selection of relatives in municipal employment and in accessingmunicipal resources. The most prevalent corruption practice disclosed by the informants is amassing the internal revenueallotment (IRA) for personal purposes in order to recover the huge amount of money spent during election. Other types ofcorruption practices also include falsification of documents, nepotism, bribery, kickbacks, and evasion of public bidding.These public officials also do not seem to perform official duties in their towns as they live outside of their municipalities.Inter-agency involvement of corruption among different government agencies in the areas studied are also uncovered.Moreover, the perceived negative effects of corruption are manifested in the poor delivery of the community’s basic socialservices in health, water supply, education, and security protection.

Abstract

The introduction of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to the public sector follows the much broader trend of NewPublic Management. BPR in the public sector mostly means amalgamation of business processes, computerization of variousactivities and removal of some unnecessary ones. BPR assimilates a radical premeditated scheme of business pro-cessreengineering and an additional progressive technique of uninterrupted process improvement with adequate informationtechnology (IT) and e-business infrastructure strategies. Public organizations have specific and exclusive features thatdifferentiae-ate them from private sector organizations. Based on the literature review and examining of study find-ings, it isargued that a public sector organization can employ BPR to get better its process and overall organizational performance, if it (1)has accrues a collection of BPR-relevant resources and capabilities; (2) has embarked on BPR with adequate depth and breadth;(3) is developing a post-BPR complementary set of skills, systems and technologies, which are essential to further develop theorganizational impact of the BPR; and (4) has successfully mitigated the effects of BPR implementation problems. In addition toits effect on administration and ser-vice delivery processes through reduction of the processing time, work steps and cost ofgovernment processes, BPR also contributes to enhancing citizen/customer and employee satisfaction, increasing organizationaltransparency and responsiveness which have also become an essential objective of New Public Management. Therefore, publicsectorBPR is emerging as an indispensable to performance of organizations in the developing economy. The essential questionsaddressed in this paper are: What are the scenario and impending problems of reengineering applications in the public sector?Can it be functional for the public sector in attending to frequent problems blockading bureaucracies of developed anddeveloping countries uniformly? What are the implementation vulnerabilities faced by public sector while deploying BPR.

Abstract

This study attempts to explore the involvement in graft and corruption among elective barangay youth officials in a city inSouthern Philippines. Using a qualitative research design employing a case study method, 10 informants were included in thisstudy and were selected using snowball sampling technique. The findings indicated that the informants were aware of the formsof graft and corrupt practices stipulated in the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act in the Philippines (RA 3019) and other legaldocuments. However, despite this, most of them admitted to have been involved in any of the follow-ing irregular acts while inpublic service: malversation of public funds, evasion of public bidding in the purchase of supplies and equipments, forgery,bribery, making ghost projects and payrolls, abuse of powers, among others. It was known also that corruption was causedmainly by bureaucratic dys-functions especially in the delay of budget releases and political socialization with older and corruptbarangay officials who passed on the techniques of corruption to the young leader informants. The policy implications of thestudy demands further strength-ening of governmental structures and processes that would ensure observance of goodgovernance among public officials both at the barangay ( local) and national levels.
