Governance in Samarinda city using TOGAF (The open group architecture framework): Literature review

Abstract

The governance in Samarinda City has faced various challenges related to efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. To address these issues, this study proposes the application of The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) for enhancing administrative and operational processes. TOGAF provides a structured approach to enterprise architecture, ensuring alignment between IT and business objectives, which is crucial for public sector entities aiming to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. This literature review explores the existing governance practices in Samarinda City, identifies key areas for improvement, and demonstrates how TOGAF can be effectively implemented to address these challenges. By integrating TOGAF principles, the study aims to create a comprehensive framework that can streamline processes, enhance data management, and foster better communication between government departments and the public. The review highlights successful case studies of TOGAF implementation in similar contexts, offering valuable insights and practical recommendations for Samarinda City. Through this approach, the study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge on public sector governance and provide a viable roadmap for the effective adoption of TOGAF in local government settings.
