Language policy and linguistic landscapes in the internationalization of a non-Anglophone university

PurposeInternationalization strategies that have been issued for a decade affect non-Anglophone higher education institutions (HEIs) in the clash of importance in preserving national language or using international languages. One of the observable objects of this dilemma is the inconsistent language display of universities’ public signages as a linguistic landscape (LL). To address these issues, the presence of language policy is urgent unless the preservation of the national language is no longer the responsibility of HEIs. However, rigorous discussion about language policy in non-Anglophone HEIs remains limited. This study aims to address the gap by providing a critical analysis of the existing language policy documents in an Indonesian higher education institution that has a multilingual environment and its effect on the LL.Design/methodology/approachThis case study used document analysis and LL analysis. The setting was an Islamic university in Indonesia that represents the trial importance of building religious identity, preserving the national language and engaging with international demands. The data were collected from National Law Enforcement websites, which provided various national policy documents and the institutional documents that were retrieved from the university website by using the document analysis method by Bowen (2009). The secondary data were 216 visual images of public signage in an Islamic university in Indonesia as the representation of multilingual phenomena. The additional data were gathered from a pilot interview with a lecturer and a student.FindingsThis study found that both the national government and institutional administration in Indonesia do not have a language policy that regulates LLs or language preferences in public places for HEIs. The university tends to solely refer to international accreditation policy by using either bilingual English-Indonesian or monolingual English in the public signage. However, the limited use of the Arabic language in specific venues such as mosques and musallas shows that Arabic serves neither as symbolic identity nor communicative functions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study sets a single case study in an Islamic university, and the policy documents were limited to the Indonesian Government and institutions as the representation of non-Anglophone countries. Further studies are expected to have a bigger and larger size of data and settings.Practical implicationsThis study implies that non-Anglophone countries’ governments should start to design and enforce a language policy that preserves national language and facilitates major national and international language communities, such as Thai, Arabic, Javanese and Malay, without being absent in international competitive labeling. A practical implication for religion-based and cultural-based universities is that the function of their Holy Book or local languages can be used as communicative functions to strengthen the religious and local identity.Social implicationsThis study implies that non-Anglophone countries’ governments should start to design and enforce a language policy that preserves their national language without being absent in international competitive labeling.Originality/valueGiven the fact that there is limited awareness to bring the discussion about LL patterns into language policy issues in non-Anglophone countries, this study was originally conducted as a case study to pilot the discussion about the absence of language policy as represented through LLs in Indonesia. This case study was brought up as a pilot discussion to urge non-Anglophone countries lawmakers to issue language policy at the university level. This message is meant to respond to internationalization programs that can potentially jeopardize the existence of the linguistic and cultural diversity of non-Anglophone countries.

COMPARISON OF MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL IDENTITY APPLICATION USERS

In the rapidly evolving digital era, the Population Identity Application (IKD) plays a crucial role in streamlining civil administration processes in Indonesia, allowing easier and faster access to population services. This study aims to explore the application of machine learning algorithms in analyzing user responses to the IKD application. Three popular algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), and Naïve Bayes were chosen to classify sentiment from 1301 user reviews on the Google Play Store into positive and negative categories. After performing data preprocessing such as tokenization and stemming, hyperparameter optimization was conducted using GridSearchCV to enhance classification accuracy. The research results indicate that the SVM algorithm, optimized with hyperparameters, including the use of the rbf kernel and a parameter value of C = 1, achieved the highest accuracy of 85.60%, making it the most effective method for sentiment classification of the IKD application. These findings provide valuable insights for the government and developers in refining the features and performance of IKD, contributing to the efficiency and security of digital administration in Indonesia. Furthermore, this study opens opportunities for further development that is more responsive to user needs and expectations in the future.

Law Enforcement and Human Rights Protection in Public Administration: A Qualitative Approach to the Implementation of Public Policy

This research investigates the relationship between law enforcement and the protection of Human Rights in the context of public administration in Indonesia. Qualitative research methods were used to gain a deep understanding of policy implementation and the interaction between law enforcement and human rights protection. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, human rights activists, academics, and community members directly affected by public policies. The findings indicate that law enforcement continues to face significant challenges such as lack of resources, low institutional capacity, and corruption practices. On the other hand, while there have been improvements in recognizing basic rights, complexities remain in human rights protection, particularly concerning discrimination and abuse of power by authorities. Research recommendations suggest strengthening institutional legal capacity, enhancing transparency, fostering more active community participation, and engaging in cross-sector dialogues to strengthen fair law enforcement and inclusive human rights protection in public administration.

Digital technology adoption for village public administration—Evidence from Indonesia

Village administration in Indonesia has changed its scope and operation with the integration of digital technology into public services at various levels. These conditions prompt questions about the successful digital transformation of public administration services. Digital transformation encompasses not only technological aspects but also socio-cultural factors. This paper reports the study related to implementing ICT-based applications in village administration policy in Indonesia. The study involved 315 village officials from 167 villages in 16 sub-districts within Toba district, North Sumatera province. A village administration software prototype was developed and introduced to the villages’ officials during the study. This study aims to gain insights from the officials’ response regarding digital technology-supported village administration. The research revealed that many village officials must gain the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct administrative tasks digitally, as they still rely on traditional, non-digitized methods. Recommendations include increased support and assistance from the Regency Government to help villages understand and implement digital administration and capacity-building activities to familiarize village officials with ICT advancements. The study also found that digital transformation in village administration remains challenging, with digitization and digitalization processes often overlooked. Addressing these challenges requires additional training and improved infrastructure availability. Finally, we propose a conceptual model of digital transformation for public administration at village level as generic components for digital implementation of village administration.

Analysis of the Formation of Government Regulations as Separation of Powers in Indonesia

Indonesia is a constitutional state where government administration is based on statutory regulations hierarchically proposed by the law as mandated by the 1945 Constitution. The authority to implement laws is translated into government and other laws and regulations. The order of laws and regulations is used as a "rule" when a government activity is to be carried out. However, in practice, there are still mechanisms for forming PPs that are inconsistent with the orders of the law. This study aims to determine the basis and mechanism for forming PP as an executive authority and the legal implications of not issuing PP by the executive. The type of research is normative juridical with a literature study approach. The analysis shows that the process of forming laws can be studied from two perspectives, namely normative juridical and sociological perspectives. The material content of laws in Indonesia is complex to determine from the power-sharing system. However, it can be determined by looking at the system for forming statutory regulations, where it has been stated that the formation of statutory regulations must be based on hierarchical law. Suppose the executive does not issue a PP as mandated by the law. In that case, it will result in not achieving the ideals of the general norms contained in the law, and harmonisation of law implementation will not be realised. Even though it is a country based on law, no government administration in Indonesia is not based on statutory regulations as its legal basis

Agile Governance, Digital Transformation, and Citizen Satisfaction Moderated by Political Stability in Indonesia’s Socio-Political Landscape

Following a stratified sampling technique, data were collected from 490 followers of Indonesian public sector social networking sites from July 2023 to November 2023. The findings reveal that agile governance, digital transformation, and inclusive decision-making positively contribute to citizen satisfaction with public services, with political stability moderating these relationships, providing empirical insights into the dynamics of contemporary public administration. The scholarly significance lies in providing empirical insights into the specific context of Indonesia, contributing to the broader discourse on effective governance strategies in the face of political disruptions.

The Application of Stakeholder Theory in a Small Public Sector Accountability Unit: An Indonesian Village Government Case

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the accountability model in a small unit of public sector organization. Hence, it elaborates on the elements that should be considered in developing an accountability model by reviewing the literature on accountability in general, its practices in the public sector organization, and the numerous regulations covering the village administration in Indonesia. The accountability of village administration in Indonesia is related to the village community and the upper-level government entities. As the lowest-level government unit, the leader and his/her administration should be accountable to the village community and the upper-level government entities, such as districts/cities, provinces, and related ministries at central governments with various needs. Thus, village administration focuses more on meeting the needs of the upper-level government entities rather than fulfilling the needs of the village community as primary stakeholders. The strategies in developing the accountability model for a small unit of public sector organization need to consider the relation between village administration as an agent and other primary stakeholders as principals. The study adds to the theoretical knowledge of the accountability model for a small unit of public sector organization, particularly in Indonesian village administration.

The Use of Satellite Imagery Data for Poverty Clustering at the District Level Administration in Indonesia

Poverty is a problem that will never be separated from every country, including Indonesia. One of the efforts that can be taken to reduce poverty is to carry out comprehensive monitoring of data related to poverty. The use of satellite imagery strongly supports this effort. Data taken to describe poverty in a region are CO, SO2, NO2, Night Time Light (NTL), Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), also per capita expenditure data that can be accessed through the BPS website. Based on the theory, all of these variables negatively affect the poverty of a region except for the NDVI variable. The use of clustering with K-Means method can be implemented in this situation in order to cluster poverty in every district in Indonesia. Then it is supported by a descriptive analysis of each variable in order to describe the distribution of variables in each district in Indonesia. Based on the clustering results, it can be seen that there are 2 clusters, namely cluster 1 which shows a cluster with low poverty and cluster 2 with high poverty. There are a total of 46 districts included in cluster 1, which constitute the majority of economic centers in it's region, and 468 other districts included in cluster 2. The results of this clustering are expected to be used by stakeholders in making decisions according to the characteristics of the district.
