Comparative Analysis of The Implementation of Pro-Poor Budgeting in Indonesia Regency Governments in 2020

Pro-poor budgeting is an approach in public sector budgeting aimed at allocating resources equitably and effectively to improve the welfare of impoverished communities. This research aims to compare the implementation of pro-poor budgeting programs in Indonesian regencies in 2020, based on their Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD). The regencies selected for this study were chosen based on the completeness of the documents Regional Poverty Alleviation Implementation Report (LP2KD) in 2020. The method uses a qualitative approach through descriptive analysis, utilizing data from Regional Poverty Alleviation Implementation Report (LP2KD) in 2020. The results of this research include the implementation of pro-poor budgeting by the regency governments, an analysis of the comparative percentage of pro-poor budgeting implementation per OPD among the regency governments, and an identification of several key poverty alleviation programs in each regency. This research provides an overview of the extent to which pro-poor budgeting programs are implemented in these three regions. Although there are differences in the realization of pro-poor budgeting between the cities and regencies studied, this research highlights the importance of the role of local governments in effectively allocating resources to support poverty alleviation. The information obtained from this research presents a foundation for policymakers to improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation programs at the local level. This study presents a comparative analysis of the implementation of pro-poor budgeting with a different approach from previous research, by comparing three regencies in Indonesia in 2020.

The relationship between e-trust and e-loyalty: The mediating role of e-satisfaction

This investigation proposes to verify the effect of e-satisfaction and e-trust on e-loyalty and the impact of e-trust on e-satisfaction. Besides, it attempts to prove e-satisfaction as the mediating variable. Therefore, this investigation applies the quantitative design by formulating the hypotheses. Additionally, the users of Shopee, one of the e-commerce platforms in Indonesia, become the population in this investigation. Because its accurate number is unknown, this study uses snowball sampling. As a result, this technique can acquire 175 respondents from some cities and regencies in Indonesia. Because of hypothesis verification, this research applies the covariance-based structural equation model (CBSEM) to check the causal relationship based on the first, second, and third premises. Besides, this study employs the Sobel technique to prove the e-satisfaction mediating impact. After checking the hypotheses, this study effectively verifies three substances. Firstly, the more electronically satisfied and trusting the users are, the more electronically loyal they are. Secondly, the more virtually they believe, the more virtually they are gratified. Finally, e-satisfaction can partially mediate the association between e-trust and e-loyalty. Expressively, e-trust is the driver of e-satisfaction, causing e-loyalty; therefore, as an implication, this study suggests that this platform needs to keep e-trust by providing safe transactions and privacy data protection for the users.

A Changing Landscape: Exploring the Relationship between Clean and Clear Status Policy, Coal Mining, and Deforestation

Coal plays a crucial role in energy generation in developing nations and serves as a vital source of power amidst growing energy demands. However, coal mining often acts as a primary driver of deforestation and poses significant environmental challenges. Indonesia, a country with extensive forest areas and a significant coal producer, has implemented a Clean and Clear status policy to address regional and administrative issues related to mining permits. This study aims to assess the impact of this government permit for coal mining in forest areas using the fixed effect panel data method, offering insights into the relationship between coal mining activities and deforestation trends. The analysis focused on the period from 2010 to 2019 and covered 110 regencies in Indonesia, providing a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of forest loss. The estimation findings indicated a negative correlation between the areas allocated for coal mining concession permits and forest areas, underscoring the need for stringent regulations and effective land management practices. Therefore, it is recommended that the Clean and Clear status policy not only be applicable during the permit granting phase, but also prioritize post-mining periods to ensure the completion of land reclamation activities.

Public expectations towards the roles of the Indonesian house of representatives

Abstract The People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) plays an important role in a democratic country, functioning as a means of control for the government in office. With its authority to make laws, set budgets, and supervise government administration, the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia has a strong position. This research was conducted to understand and analyse the public's perception of the DPR RI in its role. This research uses quantitative descriptive methods. Data was collected using questionnaires from respondents in 26 provinces, consisting of 71 cities and regencies in Indonesia from 2019 to 2022. This study discovered that most Indonesian people see a role for the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia and that they hope that the DPR will continue to work to create legislation and oversee the government. The existence of the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia is still of interest to the citizens of the Republic of Indonesia. So far, the ministry has only used mass media as a means of communication and political information. In the future, the parliament needs to use social media, as well as institutional websites, including video conferences and live streaming as a means of political communication in the era of digital democracy. To establish the groundwork, communication will not only be one-way but also two-way between parliament and the public, as well as between the public and parliament.

Commemorative Street Naming of Historical Figures as Cultural Memory and Representation in Banyumas Regency

Street naming is commonly used to give directions to some places. Moreover, street names can be used to memorialize some figures, for instance, historical figures. In this case, Banyumas Regency, one of the regencies in Indonesia, mostly creates street names by implementing historical figure names. Consequently, this paper aims to explore commemorative street naming revealing historical figures as cultural memory and representation in Banyumas Regency. Specifically, this paper examines the classification of the historical figures created as street names and their historical relations to the Banyumas Regency, whether connected or not. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected from multiple sources and analyzed by identifying the commemorative street names related to each figure's historical figures and historical background in Banyumas Regency. In this investigation, the findings show that the commemorative street names of the historical figures in Banyumas Regency applied four historical figure name classifications: heroes, religious figures, political figures, and others. The dominant street names of historical figures come from the hero names. Moreover, the street names with robust connectivity related to Banyumas’ history, political figures and other figure names. The street names of heroes and religious figures are identified as national figures who are related and unrelated to Banyumas’ history. In contrast, the street names of the political figures and others came from local figures who had roles and struggled in Banyumas. In this research, to conclude, the street names in Banyumas Regency are formed diversely to commemorate and tribute the figures influenced by politics and cultural systems. Therefore, it can implicitly describe or explain the understanding of the past from generation to generation, so it becomes a cultural memory and representation embodied in Banyumas’ citizens.

Penguatan Industri Halal Melalui Women’s Entrepreneurship Pada Umkm Di Wilayah Pesisir Kota Bengkalis

The halal industry has a strategic role in improving the economy. The halal industry contributes USD 3.8 billion to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually. Bengkalis Regency is one of the regencies in Indonesia that has great potential for the development of the halal industry in coastal areas, moreover according to 2020 data from the Central Statistics Agency, Bengkalis Regency has 6,354 MSMEs which is the second largest in Riau Province. In Indonesia, women's entrepreneurship is a valuable contributor to the renewal and development of the domestic economy. According to a statistical report from the Central Bureau of Statistics, out of 2 million micro business units, 40.8% are controlled by women. This study uses a binary logistic regression model to determine what factors influence the decision of women entrepreneurs to obtain halal certificates. The results of this study found that ownership of halal certificates in MSME women entrepreneurs in Bengkalis Regency was influenced by age, number of children under five, average monthly income and interaction variables between type and length of business. While the factors of education, labor, length of business, human capital, and business performance do not significantly influence the ownership of halal certificates in MSMEs in Bengkalis Regency.

The relationship between socio-economic conditions and the stunting incidences of rural areas in Indonesia? Evidence in Tolitoli regency, Indonesia

Problem of stunting and malnutrition in the centre of agricultural production is currently being debated. Tolitoli which is one of the central rice-producing regencies for Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, however in 2021 is reported as one of 320 regencies in Indonesia with a high prevalence of stunting. This research aims to examine the correlations between agricultural production of households in Tolitoli regency and the prevalence of family malnutrition and stunting. In June - October 2022 a case study survey was carried out in two sub-districts with the highest prevalence rate in Tolitoli Regency. The analytical method used includes the share of food expenditure and family food consumption to assess the condition of food security, quantity and quality of household food consumption. While the income analysis is used to measure the determinants of expenditure and household consumption in the research area. The results show that the condition of food security based on energy sufficiency in the research area was in the “less” category. The share of food expenditure is in the “high category” and the food security condition is in the food shortage condition. Moreover, most of the respondent’s income comes from agricultural activities (80.55%) which is allocated for food consumption of 55%/month and the remaining 45% per month is used for non-food expenses.

Leadership types and whistleblowing intention in public sector: the mediation role of justice

Research aims: This study examines the effect of two leadership types, ethical leadership (EL) and servant leadership (SL), on whistleblowing intentions with three justice dimensions: distributive, interactional, and procedural, as mediators.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research involved local government organizations (LGO) employees in several regencies in Indonesia, including Purworejo, Sumbawa, Pelalawan Riau, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and Surakarta. The hypotheses were tested using the SEM-PLS technique.Research findings: The results discovered that EL positively affected whistleblowing intention directly and through (mediated) procedural and interactional justice. Meanwhile, SL did not directly affect whistleblowing intention, yet it could affect it when mediated by procedural justice. Furthermore, distributive justice could not mediate the relationship between either SL or EL on whistleblowing.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The novelty of the research is to explore and comprehensively analyze how a leadership style can influence someone to do whistleblowing in the government sector by paying attention to the crucial role of the justice dimension. The results of this study provide valuable insights for the government to increase employee motivation in whistleblowing.Practitioner/Policy implication: Drawing from this insight, the leader of the LGOs must have the characteristic of EL since it can facilitate and motivate employees to blow the whistle when they find fraud in the organization. In addition, a leader with EL can create fairness in the organization. Thus, EL not only can affect employees to blow the whistle but also can raise the three-dimensionality of justice in the organization.Research limitation/Implication: The implementation of leadership, either SL or EL, in the context of the public sector, whose primary purpose is to enhance government accountability, particularly in emerging countries, is still lacking. Moreover, the process underlying how leadership affects whistleblowing still holds critical gaps, particularly issues related to leadership dynamics.

Conservation Policy, Indigeneity, and Changing Traditional Hunting Practices in West Papua

Regional governments are increasingly developing conservation policy initiatives that are framed alongside the empowerment of Indigenous Peoples. This paper examines the case of Tambrauw, West Papua, that set out to establish one of the first ever Conservation Regencies in Indonesia. To understand the implications of conservation policy developments, we explored from an environmental justice perspective the ways that one of the most important forest-based activities of local communities – hunting – has changed in recent years. Data was collected using qualitative methods of participatory observation and interviews between 2015-2018 across three Tambrauw districts. The study shows how policy changes are increasing clashes between local hunters and conservation officials. This has implications for broader issues of conservation policy and local livelihoods, and sheds light on the more recent trend of foregrounding Indigenous identity in forest management. Although on the face of it the emergence of conservation regencies represents a trend in downscaling authority to empower local communities, findings shows that place-based and more locally responsive policies need to be established to address emerging conflicts that can also meet broader conservation outcomes.

How intergenerational farmers negotiate their identity in the era of Agriculture 4.0: A multiple-case study in Indonesia

Abstract Identity has become a fascinating object of exploration in various aspects of life and work, including farming. Many studies have examined the extent to which farmers reconstruct their identities, and only a limited number have evaluated the forms of negotiation from a communication perspective. Therefore, herein, we addressed this gap by analysing the identity challenges experienced by farmers in the agricultural era 4.0. A comprehensive farmer identity negotiation model was developed by conducting a multi-case study involving millennial and Generation X farmers from different regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 farmers who have embraced Agriculture 4.0 across five regencies in Indonesia. The results showed that farmer identity is maintained and built through various processes, including education, outreach, affiliation, and social networking. Farmer identity negotiation also involves self-preparedness, such as developing communication competence and receiving environmental support through social connections, media, and access to information. The process of farmer identity negotiation ultimately leads to the affirmation of identity, manifesting in changes in social roles, lifestyle changes, and improved farming quality. The advent of Agriculture Revolution 4.0 has necessitated the availability of innovative information, provided access to information and communication technology, and spaces for farmer communities to improve their farming competence.

Collaborative governance in a mandated setting: shifting collaboration in stunting interventions at local level

ABSTRACT Collaboration is now a common way to make public policy and run government, and governments often make it a requirement. This article is a qualitative study of how people work together when they must. It is based on real-world research on a stunting intervention in three regencies in Indonesia’s West Java Province. The study collected data through in-person interviews, documentation reviews, and observation. The findings revealed that a mandated collaboration had been implemented, but with limited participation from nonstate actors. This situation occurred because government agencies remained the primary owners of the process while nonstate actors were not fully engaged. As a result, the collaboration in stunting interventions became merely a government program rather than a collectively owned process. To address this issue, the study proposes a new framework of mandated collaboration that is more inclusive, collective, and participatory, using the Hansel and Gash model of collaborative governance. Furthermore, the study recommends empowering the community to make the collaborative process more equitable in decision-making and encouraging non-state actors to take ownership of collaborative governance.

Effect of Internet Self-Efficacy on the Adherence of Middle Adulthood M-health Users with Online Trust Behavior as a Mediator Variable

Adherence to treatment regimens is a significant challenge faced by patients with chronic illnesses and healthy individuals, including through m-Health—a new model of remote health delivery via mobile phones. Middle-aged adults often need more internet skills, especially concerning internet self-efficacy and online trust behavior in health services. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between internet self-efficacy and adherence to medical advice among middle-aged m-Health users, mediated by online trust behavior. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 4 July to 4 September 2022, involving 214 respondents selected through convenient sampling from various cities and regencies in Indonesia. Data were collected using online forms distributed to the participants. The statistical analysis employed a structural equation model (SEM) with the LISREL version 8.7. The results showed a chi-square value of 438.61, df=187, p=0.00000, RMSEA=0.079, NFI=0.93, NNFI=0.95, CFI=0.95, and IFI=0.95. These findings indicate that online trust behavior successfully mediates the relationship between internet self-efficacy and adherence. However, internet self-efficacy does not directly affect adherence. This means that adherence will increase when trust in health services.

Exploring Perspective of Local Tourists About City Branding: Study on Gorontalo As Serambi Madinah and Manokwari As Kota Injil

City branding is an object contested by various cities and regencies in Indonesia. The goal was to introduce their identity of them, so strong branding could be the basis for marketing tourism from the city. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the perspectives of domestic tourists about city branding that use religion as the basis for their branding. This study analyzes the perspectives of tourists who visit Gorontalo City and Manokwari Regency. Gorontalo has the branding Serambi Madinah, and Manokwari is famous with Kota Injil as its branding. This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis based on Tourism Consumption Behavior (TCB) and critical questions for developing a city brand strategy. This study was conducted in 19 days, from 1 February to 20 February 2023, by interviewing tourists who visited Gorontalo City and Manokwari Regency. Literature studies also support the discussion in this study. The results showed that Gorontalo City, which has Serambi Madinah branding, has not attracted tourists' attention to sites, mosques, and religious festivals held in Gorontalo City. Tourists prefer to travel to the coast of Tomini Bay, such as Pulo Cinta and Botubarani Whale Sharks. Meanwhile, tourists visiting Manokwari have a more perspective that Manokwari is Kota Injil, where the bible first entered Papua through Manokwari. Several factors can also influence city branding: local history, culture, natural resources, and religion. Local wisdom is also essential to support the city's branding.

A sustainability review on the Indonesian job creation law

The Job Creation Law (JCL) is an omnibus law promulgated by the Indonesian government to promote investment in the nation by simplifying business license issuance and providing an exemption on previously established procedures. Business license applicants are exempted from the obligation to conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) so long as their projects are aligned with the land utilization policy and the zoning plan. This creates a threat to environmental sustainability as only 10% cities or regencies in Indonesia are equipped with detailed zoning plans. Furthermore, environmental considerations are rarely incorporated into spatial planning. This paper reviews changes in spatial and environmental planning practices based on a comparison among existing regulations, qualitative assessment of potential environmental impact based on lessons learned from various study cases, and critical evaluations on the aim to ease business establishment versus sustainability. The research method includes analysis of relevant document and descriptive quantitative analysis. We found that JCL puts sustainability aside and may lead to further environmental degradation.

Route Optimization of Waste Carrier Truck using Breadth First Search (BFS) Algorithm

Waste problems have always been the main focus which still occurs in cities and regencies in Indonesia, andalso Sidoarjo Regency is no exception. Increasingly rapid population growth is one of the factors in the increasingpiles of waste in Sidoarjo Regency. The large number of villages with long distances and a large area means that wastecollection cannot be carried out on time, causing accumulation of waste that disrupts residents' daily activities. Thewaste transportation system in Sidoarjo Regency has so far not been optimal because there are still several problemswith the accumulation of waste in several sub-districts.In this study, an optimal route search system was created using the Breadth First Search and Depth First SearchAlgorithms as a search comparison in order to make it easier for Sanitation Service officers to carry out the wastetransportation process by considering the optimal destination location route according to input from the user. Theresults of this study will display information on the comparison of the total distance traveled and the total volumetraveled by the Breadth First Search and Depth First Search algorithms with different differences.

Industries Development with the Input-Output Analysis: Investment Simulation on Two Regencies in Indonesia

The similarity of the industrial structure of the main industries in two neighboring regencies, Wonosobo and Temanggung, Indonesia, is expected to result in equality demand for intermediate and primary inputs. The neighbouring regencies are located in the mountainous area and had similarities in economic structure. The goals of this study were to analyse the economic structure, select 5 main sectors in each district, and compare the impact of the economic investment on the main sectors in order to identify the effectiveness of the investment in the same production sector in the context of its impact on the economy. This research employed independent Input-Output analysis using the 2016 Input-Output Tables of Wonosobo and Temanggung regencies to evaluate the flow of intersectoral transactions and develop a multiplier analysis to determine development strategies which are shock injections applied to each region. This study hypothesises that the increase of sectoral investments increases output which is relatively the same in 5 corresponding industries in both regions. The obtained results showed that the selected main sector included Trade, Other Food and Beverage Industries, Building, and Wood and Wood Materials Industries. The investment on the main industrial sector led to a higher improvement in Temanggung rather than in Wonosobo. By simulating investment policies in two adjoining regencies, the optimally economic impact on each region and the cooperation approach used to carry out development planning can be assessed.
