Cyber-Risk Management Menggunakan NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) dan Cobit 2019 pada Instansi XYZ

Current technological developments trigger companies or organizations to use Information Technology (IT) as a service base and optimize business processes. IT can provide opportunities in the government sector to develop state apparatus through implementing the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). Central and Local Government Agencies have implemented SPBE and contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of government administration. Ensuring the sustainability of SPBE and reducing the impact of risk is the goal of risk management, with a process of identification, analysis, control, monitoring, and evaluation of risks based on risk management determined by the government. XYZ Agency is an agency that operates in the fields of communication and information, coding and statistics. XYZ Agency also implemented an Electronic Based Government System (SPBE). In this study, Cyber-risk management was designed using NIST CSF and COBIT 2019. In designing cyber-risk management, using 6 stages, namely Prioritized and Scope, Orient, Create a Current Profile, Conduct Risk Assessment, Create a Target Profile, and Determine, Analyze, and Prioritize Gaps. In this study, there are 28 assets, 17 threats, 13 vulnerabilities, and 12 controls implemented. With these results obtained 111 risks, there are 35 risks in the high category, 63 risks in the medium category, and 13 risks in the low category. The final result of this research is the preparation preparation of a cyber-risk management design by grouping the recommended actions based on Work Products (WP) and Generic Work Products (GWP) which become a work program for XYZ Agency.

Determinants of sustainable customary land secretariats in Ghana: An economic modelling approach

Land reforms in sub-Saharan Africa are transiting customary land tenure into a neo-customary land tenure regime. Accordingly, the Government of Ghana, together with its development partners, initiated the establishment of customary land secretariats (CLSs) to enhance the governance of customary land administration at the local level. Though this initiative is implemented with advances, events on the ground suggest a growing trend of inactive or dysfunctional CLSs. Synergizing an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and descriptive statistics, we used monthly secondary data from the Berekum CLS to investigate the determinants of sustainable CLSs in Ghana. The analysis revealed that the most critical factors enhancing the sustainable performances of CLSs in the long and short term are the cost of documentation, the timely preparation and delivery of documents, and gender-related matters. Moreover, there was strong evidence of a long-run relationship between the studied variables. Despite the strives for equal land access, women are still less privileged in the acquisition of land. The study portends that should authorities aimed at bringing CLSs closer to the corridors of sustainability, the mandate of the Office of the Administrator of Stool Lands (OASL) and the Lands Commission (LC) should not just be the establishment of the CLSs but also ensuring their sustainability. A prioritization of the study’s findings by the OASL and the LC can enhance the patronage of CLSs in their established communities.

The Return of the State and Its Alla Turca Version

Economic nationalism and state intervention recently gained attraction in many countries including Turkey. This paper questions whether Turkey has changed its economic policy framework towards a statecentric model and, if so, whether these changes are well thought-out and sustainable. The examination of key areas of state capitalism, that is the monetary, industrial, trade, financial, and state economic enterprise (SEE) policies put forward in the officially adopted five-year plans and annual programs, suggests that the changes in the economic policy framework began after the 2008 global crisis and accelerated after the transition to a presidential system. Upon examination, the policy framework does not reflect a definitive, coherent, and wholistic approach but rather a pragmatic attitude that swings back and forth, which exposes the country to swings in the global system.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ROAD MAP POLICY FOR BUREAUCRATIC REFORM AT THE INSTANTIONAL LEVEL (Study at the Regional Secretariat of Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province)

<p><span>Bureaucratic reform has become a very important concept in government administration. In Indonesia, bureaucratic reform has been ongoing for two decades and is systematically regulated through Presidential Regulation Number 81 of 2010 concerning the Grand Design of Bureaucratic Reform for 2010-2024 with the aim of achieving a World Class Bureaucracy by 2025. However, in its implementation, the bureaucratic reform policy is ongoing to date. This has not yet shown an impact on improving governance and achieving development targets, especially in regional governments (Hermawan et al, 2020). According to the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia, the number of regional governments that have implemented bureaucratic reform programs is 200 out of 500. This is because bureaucratic reform regulations are too complicated, even though there has been a system approach that has been developed, the implementation of bureaucratic reform policies has not yet been implemented. running as expected (Dwiyanto, 2015). This research focuses on the implementation of the bureaucratic reform road map policy at the Regional Secretariat of Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results of the research show that the implementation of the bureaucratic reform road map policy at the Regional Secretariat of Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province has not been effective and has not been completed in several areas of change analyzed, although several areas of change have shown relatively good progress, there are still several aspects that need to be implemented. has not been effective and reached the optimal level as expected.</span></p><p class="s37"><span class="s26">Keywords:</span></p><p class="s38"><span class="s26">Bureaucratic Reform, Policy Implementation, Road Map, Regional Government</span></p><p><span><br /></span></p>

Pengaruh Pengetahuan Wajib Pajak, Sanksi Pajak Dan Kualitas Pelayanan Perpajakan Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak UMKM Di Kota Padang

Revenue from the tax sector is the largest revenue compared to revenue from other sectors in Indonesia. The contribution of taxes to total state revenue averages more than 70 percent each year. The importance of tax contributions to national income greatly impacts the smooth running of government administration and the country's economy. The importance of tax revenue for the Indonesian state encourages the government to issue various policies to improve taxpayer compliance. Taxpayer compliance is an obligation that must be owned by taxpayers because taxes are a source of state revenue (Serliati & Febrianti, 2020). Increasing taxpayer compliance will increase state revenue. The purpose of this study is to see the factors that influence taxpayer compliance, especially MSME taxpayers, including: taxpayer knowledge, tax sanctions, and the quality of tax services. This study uses a quantitative approach with a population of individual taxpayers conducting Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Padang City who have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). The results of hypothesis testing in the study prove that mandatory knowledge, tax sanctions and the quality of tax services affect the compliance of MSME taxpayers in Padang City.

Conflict resolution in the customary village governance administration of Baduy, Tengger, and Samin ethnic groups in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the village government organization is part of local democracy. This includes the local democracy in indigenous villages. Indigenous villages have their own customary rules for implementing village elections. They have their own conflict resolution systems in implementing the village government. The implementation of the indigenous village governance leaves conflicts. So, there is a need for a suitable model for resolving problems in the implementation of village elections. The method used in this research is the qualitative research method with the juridical empirical approach. The locus of this research is in the Baduy, Tengger, and Samin indigenous village communities. The conflict resolution model in the administration of the Baduy, Tengger, and Samin customary villages differs in the right mechanism, but in substance, the resolution model is the same, as they use a deliberation model for consensus. In resolving conflicts, indigenous peoples fully submit to traditional leaders. The provincial and the regency/city governments are expected to give greater attention to the conditions of villages with customary government characteristics.

PENGEMBANGAN KOMPETENSI SDM DALAM RANGKA MENINGKATKAN AKUNTABILITAS KINERJA INSTANSI PEMERINTAH DI PROVINSI BALI

Implementation of the Government Agency Performance Accountability System (SAKIP) is important in efforts to strengthen Government Agency Performance Accountability reports or AKIP, in order to realize government administration that is free of corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN). Accountability for the performance of government agencies is the obligation of every Regional Apparatus to account for the success or failure of implementing programs or activities in order to achieve the organization's mission in a measurable manner, performance targets which will be compiled into a government agency performance report (LKjIP) periodically every year. The implementation of SAKIP is carried out to produce quality performance accountability reports by referring to the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 29 of 2014 concerning the Performance Accountability System for Government Agencies and other statutory regulations. The preparation of the LKjIP for regional apparatus is carried out every year by referring to the Regulation of the Minister for Use of State Apparatus and RB Number 53 of 2014 concerning Technical Instructions for the Preparation of Agency Performance Agreements, Performance Reporting and Procedures for Reviewing Government Agency Performance Reports.

Evaluating the Utilization of Human Resources for Health Information Systems at the Local Government Level: Findings from the Kilimanjaro Region

Introduction: Human resources for health (HRH) are critical to healthcare delivery. Global HRH shortages hinder health service provision. This study explored how data from HRHIS is utilized to optimize HRH planning, management, and development. Methods: The study used a utility-focused evaluation approach, employing multiple case study designs. Data were collected from seven (7) of the Ministry of Health and President's Office—Regional Administrative and Local Government through in-depth interviews and an observation checklist, whereas ten (10) participants were interviewed. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to describe individual experiences, practices of HRH management, and data use from HRHIS. Results: The study found that staffing levels, DHIS2, Work Indicators, Staff Needs and Prioritization, and Optimization Analysis are key data sources for HRH planning, allocation, and deployment decisions. However, relying on multiple systems for employee data management proved challenging due to inconsistencies and errors. While essential, HRHIS lacks integration with other systems, hindering data utilization. Manual data entry further exacerbates data quality issues, emphasizing the need for a more robust and integrated HRH information system. Conclusion: HRHIS is a valuable tool for HRH data management, but its potential is underutilized in Kilimanjaro. Despite implementation, challenges persist in using HRHIS data for planning, management, and development. Significant efforts are needed to promote data utilization and improve HRHIS's contribution to Tanzania's healthcare workforce. The study recommends accelerating the integration of HRHIS with other systems, such as the District Health Information System, the Human Capital Management Information System, Professional Councils databases, Regulatory bodies – Tanzania Commission for University, NACVET, Health Facility Registry, and TrainSmart. This integration will enhance data accessibility and improve HRH planning and management.

Government Management for Sustainable Economic Development and Innovation

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze whether efficient and effective government management promotes sustainable economic growth and innovation. It seeks to understand how the income generated through GDP per capita is related to the effectiveness and efficiency with which the government of the State of Nayarit performs. Theoretical Framework: Effective and efficient government management, which uses innovative technologies to improve public administration, is the basis of the research. The relevance of economic diversification for resilience to external events is highlighted, based on the endogenous growth theory, which emphasizes the role of innovation and human capital in economic development. Transparency and citizen participation, which are fundamental for a modern and effective government, are promoted by open government innovation. Method: A non-experimental research of quantitative type was established, in which information was collected on the study variables (Hernández et al., 2014). Subsequently, a correlational type of research was conducted, considering four socioeconomic development indicators of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness A.C. The research was conducted in Nayarit, Mexico, considering the periods from 2021 to 2023. Subsequently, Spearman's Rho correlation was performed because the Shapiro-Wilk normality test did not meet the normality assumption. Results and Discussion: The findings reveal important relationships and implications in the theory of efficient and effective government administration; first, it shows that improvements in tax collection efficiency are directly related to economic growth and diversification in Nayarit, Mexico. On the other hand, economic growth is driven by internal factors such as investment in human capital and innovation, further suggesting that greater economic complexity can lead to lower own revenues and ultimately to a lack of technological infrastructure or adequate public policies. Implications of the research: The practical and theoretical implications of this study highlight the importance of efficient and strategic government management, the need for economic diversification policies, and the re-evaluation of economic theory in specific contexts. The differences and limitations observed suggest areas for future research and improvements in data collection. Originality/Value: The present research contributes to the line of public administration and economic development, since the results found motivate the generation of sustainable growth and economic diversification policies. The above, adds to the content on state level income and GDP, in this particular case to the state of Nayarit, Mexico.

KAJIAN STANDAR PELAYANAN MINIMAL BIDANG PERUMAHAN PADA KEGIATAN DI KABUPATEN TANGERANG (Studi Kasus: Kecamatan Kronjo dan Kecamatan Mauk Kabupaten Tangerang)

Public services are a basic right for citizens that must be fulfilled by the state and government administrators. One of the public services in the housing sector is the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) for uninhabitable houses (RTLH) that are rehabilitated or relocated. SPM is also carried out for the construction of RTLH due to disasters. In order to support the development of livable housing (RLH), it is necessary to calculate the SPM achievements and evaluate the SPM for RLH activities in realizing social justice for the community. The aim of the research is to determine the achievements of the SPM for RLH Rehabilitation activities and evaluate the SPM for RLH activities. The method used in this research is a descriptive quantitative method by analyzing the data collection objectively using a scoring instrument and producing an evaluation criterion on a scale: (Good, Fair or Poor). Research locations in Pagenjahan Village, Kronjo District and Ketapang Village, Mauk District. The research results show: 1. Achievements of SPM for RLH Provision and Rehabilitation Activities in Tangerang Regency, a. post-disaster results achieved 100% category (Good), b. Relocation results achieved 100% category (Good); 2. Evaluation of SPM Provision and RLH Activities in Tangerang Regency, a. post-disaster results achieved 37.02% category (Poor), b. Relocation results achieved 56.99% category (Fair). The results of the SPM achievements in the RLH Provision and Rehabilitation activities by calculating the achievements obtained a percentage of 100% in the Post-Disaster and Relocation activities, in the Good category. The results of the SPM evaluation of RLH Provision and Rehabilitation Activities using scoring calculations showed different results, and tended to be less good, this happened due to a lack of monitoring of the documents created.

The impact of digital tax administration on local government debt: Based on the revision of the tax collection and administration law

Digital transformation of tax administration, a crucial source of government fiscal revenue, enhances tax collection efficiency and compliance, reduces tax evasion, and increases fiscal revenue, thereby providing more stable funding sources for local governments. This study examines the relationship between digital tax administration and local government debt, using data from Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2009 to 2021. The findings indicate that digital tax administration significantly reduces the level of local government debt. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact is more pronounced in the eastern regions and areas with higher levels of informatization. This study aims to provide new perspectives and approaches for the digitalization of tax administration and local government debt management, thereby promoting the modernization of tax governance and the healthy development of local finances.

Political Dichotomy and Disciplinary Processes of Employees in Local Government Administration, A Case of Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality, in Mopani District of Limpopo Province in South Africa

Political dichotomy in the disciplinary processes of local government employees has significant implications for governance and service delivery. This study focuses on the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality in the Mopani District of Limpopo Province, South Africa, to explore how political affiliations and influences shape disciplinary outcomes. Using qualitative research methods, including interviews and document analysis, the study uncovers the extent to which political considerations override procedural fairness, leading to inconsistent disciplinary measures. The findings emphasize the need for depoliticized disciplinary frameworks to enhance administrative efficiency and integrity in local governance. Political patronage and interference have been shown to affect employee morale and organizational culture negatively. In the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality, specific cases of political favouritism and bias have resulted in either undue leniency or harsh disciplinary actions. This study contributes to the understanding of the intricate relationship between politics and administration, highlighting the detrimental effects of political influence on the principles of accountability and transparency in local government. This research is unique in its detailed case study approach, providing a micro-level analysis that offers insights into broader national and regional trends in local government administration. It also proposes practical recommendations to mitigate political interference in disciplinary processes. By ensuring fair and consistent application of disciplinary procedures, local municipalities can improve service delivery and foster a more positive work environment.

Ombudsman in Malaysia: An Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in promoting good governance principles

This research focuses on the ombudsman in Malaysia and its importance in strengthening good governance in civil state service. Public complaints towards maladministration and abuse of power of the government administrators or authorities have always been an issue that must be resolved in order to ensure that the government authorities are performing their functions within their jurisdictions. Ombudsman has been introduced in European countries to settle maladministration issues. In Malaysia, the current ombudsman system is adopted by the OFS which is situated in Kuala Lumpur and Integrity and Ombudsman Unit Sarawak (UNIONS) under the Premier Department of Sarawak. The implementation and effectiveness of ombudsman system will be analysed and comparison will be made to Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and United Kingdom; which have adopted and practised ombudsman in their systems; particularly with regards to administrative law issues. This study shall improve the society’s awareness on the importance of ombudsman as one of the alternatives to resolve public complaints towards government administrators.

ANALISIS KINERJA BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA SENDAWAR DALAM PENYUSUNAN PERATURAN DESA KECAMATAN SEMIDANG ALAS MARAS KABUPATEN SELUMA

The Village Consultative Body (BPD) has an important role in drafting village regulations. The Village Consultative Body discusses and approves draft village regulations proposed by the village head, and supervises their implementation. They also collect input from residents and ensure village regulations meet community needs. The preparation of village regulations is the process of forming rules that apply at the village level, aimed at regulating the lives of village communities and the administration of village government. The aim of this research is to determine the performance of the Sendawar Village Consultative Body in drafting village regulations in Semidang Alas Maras District, Seluma Regency. The type of research used in this research is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The unit of analysis in this study consisted of 8 (eight) informants chosen deliberately who were considered to know best what the researcher expected. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research state that the performance of the Sendawar Village Consultative Body, Semidang Alas Maras District, Seluma Regency has not gone well. This is because in this village there are no village regulations prepared by the Village Consultative Body and Village Government. The absence of village regulations results in a lack of guidelines for regulating village social, economic and environmental life, which can trigger conflicts between residents and slow down village development. Apart from that, legal uncertainty can also reduce public trust in village government. This also indicates that the function of the Sendawar Village Consultative Body in discussing and approving village regulations is not running well or is not optimal.

A game theoretic approach for tradable white certificates regarding energy rebound and government intervention

In recent decades, many government administrations have tracked energy efficiency programs (EEPs) against environmental concerns. This was done so that it could potentially be useful as a supportive mechanism for smart technologies applied under the smart city concept. To facilitate this, tradable white certificates (TWCs) have been implemented as popular financial instruments used by energy-intensive sectors to boost cleaner production. In this study, we address an industrial EEP development with a TWC instrument as a multi-agent problem. We study this problem for the first time in the context of a supply chain that includes a manufacturer, an energy producer, and household energy consumers. Furthermore, we explore a new monopolistic pricing model for energy services and energy-efficient products, regarding the rebound effect, energy consumption, and social welfare. Additionally, we discuss two revenue-cost-sharing contracts and compare them as contracts using a comprehensive parametric and experimental analysis. The results show that the second proposed contract has some advantages over the first one. However, the second contract leads to less production than the first one does, while at the same time leading to less social welfare. Also, the findings suggest that the second investigated contract is a more appropriate instrument for the obligated parties than the first one when the aim is to improve the performance of TWC schemes. These findings can provide better circumstances for governance to optimize the critical parameters’ level on TWC schemes with the lowest analytical cost.Graphical abstract
