Big data readiness in the public sector: an assessment model and insights from Indonesian local governments

Purpose This study aims to establish an assessment model to measure big data readiness in the public sector, specifically targeting local governments at the provincial and city/regency levels. Additionally, the study aims to gain valuable insights into the readiness of selected local governments in Indonesia by using the established assessment model. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a mixed-method approach, using focus group discussions (FGDs), surveys and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to establish the assessment model. The FGDs involve gathering perspectives on readiness variables from experts in academia, government and practice, whereas the survey collects data from a sample of selected local governments using a questionnaire developed based on the variables obtained in FGDs. The EFA is used on survey data to condense the variables into a smaller set of dimensions or factors. Ultimately, the assessment model is applied to evaluate the level of big data readiness among the selected Indonesian local governments. Findings FGDs identify 32 essential variables for evaluating the readiness of local governments to adopt big data. Subsequently, EFA reduces this number by five and organizes the remaining variables into four factors: big data strategy, policy and collaboration, infrastructure and human resources and data collection and utilization. The application of the assessment model reveals that the overall readiness for big data in the selected local governments is primarily moderate, with those in the Java cluster displaying higher readiness. In addition, the data collection and utilization factor achieves the highest score among the four factors. Originality/value This study offers an assessment model for evaluating big data readiness within local governments by combining perspectives from big data experts in academia, government and practice.

Zonation system in admission of new student at state secondary school in Indonesia: how predictable to learning success

Introduction. A new student acceptance model with the zoning system raises various problems, including the unequal number of public schools in an area causing students to experience barriers to obtaining a proper education. The decrease in motivation and achievement of students is because the selection is only based on zoning, and the achievements of prospective students at the previous education level are not considered. Students fail to enter superior schools because they are outside the zone. The distribution of quality public schools are not evenly distributed, causing limited choices and causing the implementation of the principle of justice in access to education services – lack of readiness of local governments in setting zones.Aim. From the problems above, this study aims to find differences in learning achievement in terms of admission, predict learning achievement from elementary school to junior high school, and determine graduation document predictions with a zoning system on student achievement.Research methodology and methods. The research used a quantitative approach from October 2021 to March 2022. The research sample was 356 students who entered the 2018 state junior high school and graduated from the 2020 school year junior high school. The sampling technique for this study used proportional random sampling. Determining the size of the research sample was done by considering the pathways for accepting new students: the zoning path, the achievement path, the affirmation path, and the parent transfer path. Data analysis used ANOVA and multiple regression analysis at a significance level of 5%.Results and scientific novelty. The results showed no difference in the average report cards of junior high school students when viewed from the path when they entered the junior high school through the zoning system. The results of one-way ANOVA obtained F = 1.298 with a significance level of 0.275. The differences in the entry paths of students to junior high school, namely from the zoning pathway, academic and non-academic achievement pathways, affirmation pathways, and parental transfer paths, are proven not to affect their learning achievement in junior high schools. There is a linear regression from students’ learning achievement in elementary school to students’ learning achievement in junior high school. The partial and simultaneous tests show that it is not proven that learning achievement in elementary school affects learning achievement in junior high school. When they graduate from elementary school, students’ learning achievement has a weak predictive power on students’ learning achievement in junior high school. The national primary school-based school examination average, elementary school report card average, and elementary school examination average, used as entry requirements to junior high school in the zoning system, only have a predictive power of 1.4–2,7%.Practical significance. Parents can use this research to make decisions on their child’s education. Parents do not need to worry about the zoning system implemented by the government in accepting new students because the zoning system does not affect children’s achievements at the level of education they take. The school must also implement education systems and policies properly so that the quality of education in each institution is maintained so that parents do not worry about choosing a place for their child’s education.

Mengapa Pemerintah Daerah Belum Berhasil Menerbitkan Obligasi Daerah

Regional bonds are an alternative to infrastructure development financing that needs to be utilized by regional governments. Even though there are still pros and cons regarding regional bonds, regional bonds are still seen as a good and rational financing option. However, until now, no Regional Government has issued regional bonds. The factors that hinder the issuance of regional bonds in Indonesia include obstacles to the readiness of local governments (constraints on the readiness of human resources, the absence of a regional bond management unit, and the absence of regional regulations), regulatory constraints (fragmented regulations, procedures for issuing regional bonds complicated regulations and complex regional bond issuance requirements), political constraints (the existence of an in-principle permit from the DPRD and limited terms of office for Regional Heads and DPRDs), transparency constraints, negative perceptions of debt, local government reluctance to take on debt, and a lack of understanding about bonds area. To overcome these various obstacles, the following factors can encourage the issuance of regional bonds, as encouraging the issuance of regional bonds, including increasing the capacity of local government human resources, improving regulations (a comprehensive regulatory framework), and simplifying issuance procedures and requirements for regional bonds), disclosure, and provision of support by the central government.

Infrastructural Readiness of Public Sector Talent Management in the Provincial Governments of South and Central Sulawesi

This study of the readiness of public sector talent management infrastructure aimed to assess local government readiness for public sector talent management implementation, with a focus on provincial governments in South and Central Sulawesi. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study. Data were collected from the regional civil service agencies of the provincial governments of South and Central Sulawesi, using interviews and document analysis. According to the findings, provincial governments had prepared infrastructural support as part of public sector talent management implementation, including job mapping, talent profiles, assessment centers, competence tests, job competence standards, performance evaluation standards, career pattern human resource databases, talent management information systems, and funding. The previous implementation of a merit system policy boosted capital in assisting talent management implementation. Several issues hampered the implementation of talent management, including a lack of socialization about technical guidance for talent management, limited funding, policy overlap regarding civil service management, and a mismatch in the number of assessment centers and competence test assessors not being proportional to the number of employees in provincial governments.

Weak Alertness Between The Central Government and Local Governments in Handling Crisis.

At the end of 2019, the world is being hit by a pandemic worrying for humanity. Covid-19 first appeared in the city of Wuhan, China, and spread massively throughout the world afterwards. WHO has designated Covid-19 as a pandemic that is difficult to control as of March 11, 2020. As of April 2020, there have been more than 2 million cases of people in the world infected with Covid-19, and 195 thousand people died at that time. In Indonesia itself, the government has taken preventive measures to respond and prevent the virus's spread. The response of the government, especially local governments in Indonesia, is very diverse. Judging from the local government's readiness, some have responded slowly and underestimated this pandemic's emergence. Therefore, in this paper, the state's readiness, especially local governments, will be highlighted in facing a crisis (pandemic) from the aspects of risk, impact, and mitigation to the community itself.

Disaster Resiliency of U.S. Local Governments: Insights toStrengthen Local Response and Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

This research presents implications of the global pandemic for local government resiliency in the United States. The authors explore insights from local government officials and managers on the front lines of response and recovery efforts to the biological natural disaster. Findings from the latest nationwide survey of U.S. local governments regarding their preparedness for weather‐related natural disasters also inform responses to the current crisis. Results indicate that local governments are innovating and taking strategic actions to fight the virus, even as COVID‐19 has exposed social inequities that are exacerbated as the virus spreads. Survey findings of disaster readiness of local governments to weather‐related disasters shows that small, resource‐poor governments will not be able to respond well and social inequities will grow. Policy strategies at all levels of government must recognize and account for these inequities as threat of this virus subsides, to support stronger, more effective readiness for the next biological catastrophe.

The e-LocGov Model for Introducing e-Governance into Local Governments: An Estonian Case Study

We report on the results of an ongoing, long-term, large-scale, cross-organizational, and canonical action research project that we started in Estonia in 2003 to develop a reusable model (e-LocGov model) for the systematic introduction of e-governance into local governments. The project was conducted in cooperation with 126 local governments, which constitute more than half of Estonia's local governments. Given the complexity of the task, the endeavors in this project are necessarily highly interdisciplinary and cover the legal, the managerial, and the technological spheres. Consequentially, the e-LocGov model consists of major building blocks, each of which meets with a major challenge in the introduction of e-Governance: (i) state readiness, (ii) local government readiness, (iii) transition/implementation, and (iv) analysis and assessment. We provide a comprehensive explanation of the e-LocGov model and its building blocks. Also, we report on the research methodology and the theoretical background of this project.

Readiness of local government in PPP project development - case of LRT Bandung

Infrastructure development with PPP (Public Private Partnership) scheme is a relatively new concept applied by the Indonesian construction industry as an alternative to overcome delays and the low absorption of the Indonesian Government Budget (APBN) and Regional Government Budget (APBD) in the procurement of basic infrastructure. However, in practice, the failure rate of the government in carrying out infrastructure projects with PPP scheme is high. The failure of PPP project is generally caused by the way the government works in preparing projects that are not adjusted to the needs of PPP, the constraints of land acquisition, poor coordination between central and local government, participation, and overlapping regulations. This raises the question of how to know the condition of government readiness in implementing projects under PPP scheme and identify the constraints affecting government readiness. This study develops an assessment that can be used to measure government readiness in implementing projects under PPP scheme. Factors used in the system were developed based on three studies on the readiness assessment systems in various countries, namely: Public-Private Partnerships for Transport Infrastructure Toolkit from PPPIRC World Bank, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The assessment will be used to assess the level of readiness and constraints faced by the government of Bandung in implementing the project LRT Bandung.

One of the policy agenda is to delegate the authority to manage property tax from central government to local government. Based on Law Number 28/ 2009, property tax becomes the authority of local government, this is a very good news to increasing local revenue. The increasing of local revenue is expected to increasing local government capacity to funding their activity. Nevertheless, local government readiness becomes a big issue, known that until 2013 only 123 kabupaten/kota that already implemented this policy, where the rest of the kabupaten/kota are still not ready to implement it. But, the current issue is the capacity of readiness, not all of the kabupaten/kota has the capicity and capability to implement the policy. Therefore, this policy needs to be reck by central government, so in the future this policy can be a good instrument to made region financially independent.Keywords: Financially Independent, Decentralization, and Property Tax
