Partisipasi Pengguna Internet Indonesia dalam Pemanfaatan LAPOR! sebagai Layanan Pengaduan Publik

The People's Online Aspiration and Complaints Service (LAPOR!) was organized as an effort to increase public participation in government administration. LAPOR! is developing quickly, integrated with many central and regional government agencies; and it is officially designated as a general application for public complaint service in Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). However, with the support of internet-based digital channels, the dominant access channels for LAPOR! users, it is not yet known how the public will participate in using LAPOR! as a public complaint service in various regions in Indonesia. This research aims to reveal the public participation of internet users according to provinces throughout Indonesia, by measuring the participation ratio as a basis for determining the level of participation in each province. Referring to the average national participation ratio (0.277), the research identified 15 provinces with high participation rates and 19 provinces with low participation rates. Among the provinces with high participation rates, five provinces meet the criteria for dominant participation rates, namely DKI Jakarta, South Kalimantan, Banten, DI Yogyakarta, and Central Kalimantan.

Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Bureaucracy to Enhance Public Trust

Transparency and accountability are essential principles in good governance. However, there are still many challenges in achieving transparency and accountability within bureaucratic environments. This study aims to: 1) investigate the level of information openness and decision-making processes in government agencies; 2) identify best practices for enhancing transparency and accountability in bureaucracy; and 3) analyze the impact of transparency and accountability on public trust in the government. This research employs a qualitative approach using case study methods. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observations in several central and regional government agencies. The results indicate that most government agencies have not yet optimized the implementation of public information openness principles. Decision-making processes tend to remain closed. However, some agencies have demonstrated good practices in enhancing transparency and accountability, such as using information technology, community involvement, and implementing effective complaint systems. The study also found that higher levels of transparency and accountability in bureaucracy correspond to higher levels of public trust in the government. This research concludes that transparency and accountability are crucial prerequisites for government bureaucracy to build public trust. Systematic and sustained efforts are needed to strengthen transparency and accountability practices within bureaucratic environments.

Exchange rate stability and expectation management under heterogeneous expectations

This study develops a heterogeneous agent model comprising fundamentalists, chartists, carry traders, and stabilizers to determine the RMB exchange rate. The stabilizers act as agents of the central bank and relevant government agencies to manage expectations when the exchange rate appreciates or depreciates excessively. Using the unscented Kalman filter method, our study finds that the principal parameters of the heterogeneous agent model are statistically and economically significant, and the heterogeneous agent model can adequately characterize the main features of expectation management. Furthermore, the stabilizers can significantly reduce excess volatility and promote market exchange rates to their fundamental values. Additionally, the timing of the stabilizers' actions is consistent with that of the central bank's implementation of expectation management.

Enhancing Environmental Sustainability through Public Procurement: A Case Study of the National Environment Management Authority

The researcher examines the impact of public procurement on environmental concerns. The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of public procurement on environmental concerns. This study focused on the National Environment Management Authority as a case study. This study might help the National Environment Management Authority better advice the public on how to protect the environment through minimizing, reusing, and recycling the environment. The study was both descriptive and analytical, and the following instruments were used for collecting data: interviews, questionnaires, and documentary reviews. A sample section was used to select respondents who could participate in the research. The researcher recommends two types of public procurement. The government was to set minimum environmental standards for the procurement of a variety of goods. These standards were mandatory within the central government departments and agencies, as well as elsewhere in the public sector. The government was committed to sustainable procurement, which means only purchasing goods and services that are needed and buying items whose production, use, and disposal minimize negative impacts on the environment and society. Procurement is an important tool for helping a government meet its targets for operating sustainably, for example, by minimizing its use of energy and carbon dioxide emissions, water consumption, and waste levels, and increasing its recycling rates. Sustainable procurement also offers the opportunity and power to influence suppliers and the products they develop and design for the wider benefit of the economy and the environment. Partnership is a long-term collaborative form of relationship that is based on a high level of trust. The reason for this relationship with suppliers is risk reduction and product development to achieve better solutions.

Opportunism in Performance Goal Setting in the Public Sector: Evidence from South Korea

This study examines the circumstances under which public organizations establish easy performance goals, analyzing nationwide data collected from cabinet departments in central and local government agencies in South Korea. Several factors have been identified as contributing to the tendency of public organizations to set easily achievable goals. Firstly, local governments tend to establish less challenging performance standards compared to central government agencies. Secondly, public organizations with higher financial resources per employee ratios are inclined to set easy performance goals. Lastly, the presence of a strong innovation-oriented culture or transparency requirements decreases the likelihood of setting easy performance goals.

From contributors to boundary spanners: Evolving roles of government agencies in China’s innovation policy network (1980–2019)

The complexity of innovation governance has led to increasing participation of relevant government agencies and a clear division of their roles within policy networks, where they function not only as contributors but also as boundary spanners. This study investigates the evolving roles of government agencies as contributors and boundary spanners (i.e., brokers) within the innovation policy network. We perform a social network analysis (SNA) of China's innovation policy network, consisting of 536 policy documents formulated and co-sponsored by central government agencies between 1980 and 2019. Our findings reveal several key insights: First, since 1980, there has been a gradual increase in the number and share of agencies acting as brokers, with most agencies becoming contributors. Second, in considering boundary spanners, China's innovation policy network has mainly consisted of a small number of key players and a large number of supporters, with dedicators and harmonizers being in minority. Finanlly, science and technology (S&T) agencies' primary brokerage roles have undergone significant changes, shifting from solely representatives and liaisons to now encompassing the roles of liaisons, representatives, and consultants; economic agencies have transitioned from being merely representatives and liaisons to primarily serving as liaisons, consultants, and representatives. The primary brokerage roles of both S&T agencies and economic agencies have changed from representatives to liaisons, signaling a shift in their broker function from connecting members both inside and outside the group to facilitating interactions with members of outside groups.

Analisis Kompetensi Rekrutmen Pejabat Pemerintah Kabupaten Gorontalo

The appointment of civil servants in government structural positions is based on competence so that placement in government structural positions using the merit system considers aspects of qualifications, competence, and good performance. This research aims to analyze managerial, technical and socio-cultural competencies in the aspects of knowledge, skills, attitudes of officials who will be placed in the Gorontalo Regency government. The research approach uses qualitative methods, data collection is done through interviews, participatory observation, field notes, and document studies. Data analysis used an interactive model with three steps: condensing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions or verification. Data condensation refers to the process of selecting, narrowing down, simplifying, summarizing, and transforming data. The findings in this research in the recruitment of Gorontalo Regency Government officials have referred to Law Number 5 of 2014, Regent Regulation Number 10 of 2017 which emphasizes aspects of technical competence, managerial competence and socio-cultural competence. In addition, the regulation also refers to the recruitment of officials who also pay attention to other aspects of competence such as integrity, cooperation, communication and skills. However, there are still interventions by groups of people who support candidates without regard to competence and educational background. Furthermore, in the mutation of structural officials in central and regional government agencies, although it has been carried out in accordance with statutory provisions, there is still political intervention. This research suggests that ASN must have adaptation competence or the ability to adjust to new or changing situations.

Sailing Through Choppy Waters: Management of Medical Oxygen Emergencies During the Second Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic in India

Abstract During the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of patients experienced breathlessness, which progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome, leading to the need for supplemental oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. With each passing day, the need for medical oxygen increased and simultaneously medical oxygen reserves in the country were getting depleted. Government agencies deployed multipronged strategies to ensure that the hospitals had an adequate supply of medical oxygen. Mechanisms and formulae were devised for the rational allocation of medical oxygen to various regions in the country; the production of medical oxygen was boosted along with the curtailment of oxygen usage in industries; and efficient supply chain management, which included “Oxygen Express”— special trains for transporting oxygen, aircrafts for transporting medical oxygen, creating green corridors and real-time monitoring of oxygen levels using information technology. The usage and promotion of indigenous PSA oxygen technology augmented the medical oxygen generation capacity at the health care facility level. This emergency situation demonstrated a need for strengthening established intersectoral coordination mechanisms for swift and effective responses to similar situations in future. Various strategies adopted by the Central Government and other government agencies to a large extent helped in addressing the medical oxygen emergencies.

Collaborative Approach on Digital Government Transformation in West Java.

The world is witnessing exponential growth and rapid change brought about by the advent of the digitalisation era. This change offers an opportunity to revisit the strategic approach on using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve the delivery of public value. Considering that governments around the world are now facing declining levels of public trust. Using so-called digital transformation, governments adapt the wide use of ICTs to better support government functions, services, and citizens, encouraging their participation in policy-making processes. Successful government digital transformation often depends on the ability of multiple government or non-government organisations to collaborate towards shared objectives. However, most governments are far from fully exploiting the benefits of ICTs, and often forget that in some social groups, access to ICTs is limited at the point of digital inequality. This article provides an overview of how the Indonesian local government implements its digital-based policy, which is centered on an electronic-based government system in Indonesia (SPBE), linking cross-sectoral central government agencies. In recent years, government organisations have spent a large part of their budgets on information and communication systems and rely on these systems for their functioning. However, the complexity of the digital transformation still requires considerable effort, especially when it comes to a lack of ICT infrastructure, human resources, and bureaucratic culture. By using qualitative methods, knowledge is formed through the perspective and way of interpretation that comes from the participants included in the research, not limited to the research implementer. The data will be collected through literature study, in-depth interviews, and observations. The aim of the research is to describe how collaborative governance contributes to the policy process of using ICTs to deliver inclusive policies by local governments.

Lake Toba catchment management in an integrated manner: a necessity

The degraded Lake Toba catchment has an impact on the quantity and quality of water in the lake. In addition, the large number of districts and parties involved in managing the Lake Toba catchment makes it hard to integrate management. The purpose of this study is to analyze the roles of the parties in the management of the Lake Toba catchment to provide alternative institutional management. Data covering regulations, activity plans, and issues of coordination and cooperation of the parties were collected using in-depth interviews with key informants from stakeholders in the Lake Toba catchment management and analyzed by qualitative descriptive analysis. Regulations related to the Lake Toba catchment management range from laws to regional regulations. The institutions involved in it include central and regional government agencies and several institutions established for the management of Lake Toba. Even though many programs and activities have been carried out to improve the Lake Toba catchment condition, it has not been successful, because the management has not been integrated among sectors and regions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a single operational management plan that refers to existing spatial plans and has internalized existing plans, especially watershed management plans, without creating new institutions.
