Abstract

Neighborhood Group (Rukun Tetangga/RT), an association of fifties households living in the same areas, is expected to promote participatory development in Indonesian decentralization. This study aims to analyze whether it could promote participatory development. To do so, a case study was conducted in three villages, namely Kedarpan, Serang and Sumilir, in Purbalingga district of Central Java province. Totally 240 household heads in 24RTs were randomly selected to be the respondents. Data were analyzed through qualitative and quantitative techniques. Three main findings emerge from this study. Firstly, community involvement was pseudo participation emphasizing more on resource mobilizationbut less in generating idea and controlling the government. Secondly, capacity of RTheads was good enough in term of informativeness, encouragement, fairness, creativity, responsiveness and submission to consensus, but slightly poor in term of accountability. Thirdly, RT was not able to empower community, so community understanding to decentralization terms,  development programs and village governance was generally poor. Although some potentialities were found,it can be generally concluded thatRT is not completely successful in promoting participatory development.Complexities of institutional problems, whichinclude weak capacity, trouble in technical regulations and lack of support from government, are among the factors hampering RT to play its role. Thus, hand in hand with capacity development ofRThead, the government is supposed to establish regulations supporting the empowerment of RT, and involving other rural institutions to help  performing the roles that still cannot be played by RT.KEYWORDS: Neighborhood Group, Participatory Development, Decentralization

Abstract

This paper utilizes NVivo 12 Plus, a type of qualitative data analysis software, for qualitative document content analysis as a means of understanding informal fiscal policymaking practices, including bribery, corruption, collusion, lobbying, negotiation, and transactional politics. Use of NVivo 12 Plus for qualitative document content analysis facilitated the management, analysis, and visualization of data on informal fiscal policymaking. More specifically, qualitative content analysis of decisions of the Supreme Court of Indonesia revealed that informal fiscal policymaking in Malang City, Malang Regency, and Batu City, Indonesia, involved the practices of bribery, corruption, collusion, lobbying, negotiation, and transactional politics between regional leaders, bureaucrats, private actors, and political brokers. This paper contributes a qualitative research design that can be used to explain informal practices in fiscal policymaking and budget management.

Abstract

This research aims at explaining the relation betweenorganizational structure and public service satisfaction.The survey is conducted technically by requestingsome respondents to grade the implementationof changes in organizational structure and performanceof Licensing Department of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.The academic findings are: (1) the implementationof the policy of changes in organizationalstructure led to the characteristics of post-bureaucraticorganization, (2) the public service satisfactionhas been in the relatively high level, and (3) therelationship between organizational structure andpublic service satisfaction is positive and significant.The theoretical implication of this research is thatthe empirical study supports the assumption whichthe organizational structure affects public services.The practical implication that could be recommendedis that the characteristics of organizational structureshould be fostered. Thus, the citizens obtaining servicesfrom the institution would be very satisfied. Thelimitation of this research is the small population ofsamples and respondents so that it would be hardto generalize the findings. It is suggested that theexplanation of why public organization could provideaccess and assurance for citizens in lower levelcould be the issues to be investigated further.KEYWORDS: Public Service, Organizational Structure,Institution, Citizen, Assurance

Abstract

Civil society role is often seen as less powerful agent in forming or maintaininggood governance than two dominant agents (state and private actors). This research is intended to have knowledge whether civil society can play importantroles in forming and maintaining local good governance in Surakarta City, Indonesia.  The civil society (both formally and informally associations or persons) in Surakarta city plays very pivotal roles in six sustainable elements, namely (1) by influencing policy analysis and advocacy; (2) by controlling regulations; (3) by monitoring local government actions and behavior of staff officials; (4) by enabling citizens to identify and articulate their values, beliefs, civic norms and democratic practices; (5) by mobilizing vulnerable and marginalized masses to participate more fully in politics and public affairs and finally (6) by establishing participatory development work to improve their own better life. Interestingly, there are two new factors found in the research in determining the success of sustainability of local good governance practices in Surakarta, namely informal networking or communication and spirit of togetherness. The existence of civil society (especially the informal one) in Surakarta City is a strong pillar for sustainable local good governance practices. Maintaining this strong civil society role will make it possible to guarantee the future of the good governance in Surakarta City, Indonesia.

Abstract

The dramatic shift in the management of local governmentin Indonesia, from the centralised, authoritarianNew Order Era to the more democratic ReformationEra since 1996, met public demands for,among other things, more accountability.Decentralised local government requires a systemthat allows the Central Government to supervise and,at the same time, gives local governments the capacityto carry out their duties. This paper comparesthe institutional capacity of three regencies inLampung using a ten-part inter-sector performanceevaluation method developed by the SustainableCapacity Building for Decentralization , projectfunded by the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs.Three separate surveys between 2007-2011 used thedata from a 10% sample of all civil servants ineach rank. We show that local government institutionalcapacities in Lampung Province differ not onlyregionally, but also within inter-sectors functions. Allthree regencies performed poorly in the inter-sectorfunction of information and communication, andall three performed best in procurement of goodsand services. In terms of local autonomy, the singlerecipe of symmetric decentralization which appliessimilarly all over Indonesia, needs to be replaced,we suggest, with asymmetric decentralization, whichis more suited to the local governments’ varied institutionalneeds.Keywords: local autonomy, inter-sector performancebased governance

Abstract

Since the introduction of decentralization, regions in Indonesia have promoted regional philosophies that guide their development. They apply said philosophies to many forms of development, including politics, economics, and administration. This paper examines the political discourse of religious freedom in West Sumatra and North Sulawesi, where the term ‘religious freedom’ has been variously interpreted to suit their regional philosophies.This paper includes examining religious freedom in regulations on religious interactions in Indonesia and shows that regulations below the Indonesian constitution have questioned religious freedom and played an important role in the political discourse of religious freedom in Indonesia and its provinces.This paper also examines how religious freedom in both West Sumatra and North Sulawesi is understood and explained by stakeholders. This picture is drawn from both Muslim and Christian religious leaders as well as governmental officials. The results show that West Sumatra’s Islamic philosophy have influenced the local understanding of religious freedom, whereas North Sulawesi’s philosophy of plural society has lead the term of religious freedom to be understood as religious pluralism.  This paper questions relationship between national and regional governments over religion in Indonesia.

Abstract

The involvement of NU gender activists with the femi-nism ideas, the strengthening of democracy issues in Islam, and the effects of civil society development introduced by NGO or new social movement have made gender discourse and women movement in-side NU in dynamic. The occurrence of the new dis-courses brought by some NU gender activist results in the thought and movement among the NU activ-ists community. It also happens inside the NU’s struc-ture. Further implication, some activists who disagree with the thought and movement of Muslimat and Fatayat as NU female organization found other in-stitutions outside the NU’s structure. It shows that gender thought and women movement in NU is not static and anti-politics, on the contrary, it becomes dynamic and political because each actor involved inside try to affect and dominate each other both in discursive and praxis levels. This article aims to ex-plain critically the various studies that have been done about the gender discourse and the women movements in NU. The discussion will begin with the development of the gender discourse and women movements in the general overview, the develop-ment gender discourse and Muslim women move-ments, the influence of the gender discourse and women movements in NU. After that, it will be fol-lowed by the analysis of various literatures on gen-der discourse and women movements in NU as seen from the structural and cultural perspectives

Abstract

Indonesian visa and residence permits have separated functions, where a visa is an approval to enter, but a residence permit is to stay in Indonesia. Today’s Onshore and offshore visa policy is the DGI’s breakthrough in rolling out an online visa application process to grant an electronic visa that is not integrated with residence permit functions. This study looks into a visa scheme and an integration scenario of visa and residence permit that responds to the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. Using a policy analysis and policy learning from the Australian Government, this study proposes the functional integration between the Indonesian visa and residence permits into one single visa provision as the approval mechanism for foreign visitors to enter and stay in Indonesia’s territory. This study shows this integration scenario supports the proponent factors such as the current policies, systems, and practicality and simplification, and the public demand for improved public service delivery. Future work also should discuss the post-pandemic visa policy in Indonesia and the integration of other agencies’ application systems from the perspective of e-government.

Abstract

This article examines the communication style of the former Governor of Jakarta and presidential candidate during the 2014 Indonesian election, Joko Widodo (known as Jokowi), both as a discourse and communication model that affects trustworthiness and meaningfulness of the audiences toward the conveyed messages.This communication model is called Komunikasi Berasa [‘sensed-communication’ or ‘experientially-meaningful communication’], which synergises the delivery and verification of a message through audiences’ experience towards the meaning of the message. Using discursive and descriptive survey approaches, the author found out that Jokowi’s sensed-communication is not perceived solely on blusukan [impromptu visits], but also on the verbal messages of his political campaigns. Media texts display more sensed-rational and sensed-sensorial discourse, whilst people see sensed-relevance and sensed-beneficial as the prominent factors in the sensed-message that Jokowi sent. The results of this research could be used as a reference in implementing a strategy to get audiences’ trust through Komunikasi Berasa or sensed-communication.

Abstract

For more than two decades, Public Private Partnerships(PPP) had developed worldwide as an instrumentto procure public infrastructure where governmentfunds are limited. This practice supports thecovergent theory of the public and private sector.Indonesia experience with PPP follows most of whathad been done by countries overseas with somedeviations. The main reasons for going for PPP forIndonesia government is to fill the gap in financeand capability in procuring the infrastructure. Unofficialreason such as for off-balance sheet and ideologicalis not relevant. Up to now, the Governmentonly allow investment in hard economic infrastructure.Instead of using pure private finance, IndonesiaGovernment facilitates public funds either fromCentral Government or Local Governments to financePPP projects. In most cases, this involvementis because of marginality of the project. This resultsin the condition where the Government still hasdominant role in the existing PPP projects. Comparedto the PPP framework in other countries likein the UK, Indonesia PPP lacks of attention on outputspecification and risk transfer. This may be becauseof lacking of experiences as well as due tohigh degree of Government involvement. Rigorouspolicy is needed in this area to ensure Governmentto achieve better value for money.Keywords: Public-Private Partnerships, Public InfrastructureProcurement, International PPP, IndonesiaPPP, value for money mechanism
