Evaluation of Merit System Policy Implementation in the Selection for High Leadership Positions within the Riau Provincial Government

This article discusses the evaluation of merit system policies in the implementation of selection for High Leadership Positions in Regional Government Agencies. According to Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatus (ASN Law) has brought a new foundation in bureaucratic reform of apparatus resources. This law brings a breath of change to create an apparatus that is professional, has integrity, is neutral and free from political interests. This topic is important because, so far, research on JPT selection is still dominated by matters of administrative and procedural suitability. In fact, the merit system in the theory of meritocracy and Weberian bureaucracy emphasizes aspects of transparency and equal access for each candidate. Therefore, it is important to carry out research regarding studies of equality of access and career opportunities in JPT selection at the Regional Government Agency level. This research data was obtained through literature study in the form of a literature review. The author found that there are non-merit aspects in the JPT selection process in several Regional Government Agencies studied. The author recommends the need to develop a JPT selection model that prioritizes the merit aspect for better bureaucracy. The implementation of the JPT Pratama open selection within the Riau Provincial Government has been running in accordance with Perman PAN-RB Number 13 of 2014. However, the implementation of this policy has not fully met expectations, because ASN interest and motivation to take part in the selection is still low.

Water governance puzzle in Riau Province: uncovering key actors and interactions

Abstract Sustainable water governance is crucial for addressing the global water crisis and ensuring access to clean water resources. In the Indonesian context, Riau Province faces significant challenges in providing sufficient clean water to its population. Collaborative approaches involving diverse actors have emerged as a potential solution to complex water governance problems. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding the engagement and interactions of these actors in decision-making processes. This study focuses on Bengkalis Regency, Dumai City, and Rokan Hilir Regency, in Riau Province, using Textual Network Analysis (TNA) to identify key actors in local water governance. The findings of this study highlight: (1) The influential actors (nodes) identified by TNA consist of drinking water systems, financial arrangements, oversight mechanisms, environmental concerns, water accessibility, and eco-friendly water governance. These actors nuance the formation of local policies related to Durolis water governance. (2) The Riau provincial government is empowered to fund pipanization projects from the river to the cities. Meanwhile, local governments are given financial responsibility for pipanization in their respective regions. (3) Durolis water governance follows a centralized approach, with the provincial government acting as a facilitator when problems arise. Meanwhile, problem-solving is based on consensus between the regions as a decision-making tool.

Dynamics of collaborative governance of actors in palm oil fresh fruit bunch price setting

The second goal of Sustainable Development (SDGs) is the realization of sustainable agriculture to reducing hunger and achieve food security. One of the indicators of sustainable agriculture is social equality which includes fairness in access to information and market access. However, in practice, in realizing social justice, many smallholders cannot access information and markets, resulting in social inequality. Especially in Riau Province, which is the largest palm oil producer in Indonesia, contradictory conditions exist in the trading system for palm oil fresh fruit bunches (FFB), which still leaves independent farmers with many problems. They do not get prices according to government regulations because they have not entered into a partnership with the Palm Oil Company (POC). To overcome this problem, the Riau Provincial Government formed a partnership palm oil pricing team involving the private sector, community, academics and the press. The aim of this research is to create dynamics of collaborative governance in determining prices for palm oil FFB in Riau Province in order to achieve justice in sustainable agriculture. This research uses a postpositivist approach with descriptive qualitative methods. Using data collection techniques in the form of participant observation and indepth interviews can offer alternative solutions to the problem of inequality in justice for independent farmers. The findings reveal that the dynamics of collaboration between parties, joint motivation to collaborate and equitable pricing, and there is a capacity for joint action in the pricing of oil palm FFB in Riau Province. These three factors have proven effective in providing open access to information and markets for independent partners and nonpartner oil palm smallholders in Riau Province.

Upaya Pemerintah Provinsi Riau dalam Menangani Kasus Kebakaran Hutan Riau berdasarkan ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution

This research discusses the efforts of the Riau Provincial Government in raising awareness among the local community to prevent forest and land fires, which have become a serious issue in the Southeast Asian region. Grounded in the theories of compliance, neoliberal institutionalism, and the concept of international regimes, this study reveals that Indonesia, as the main actor in the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP), has made efforts to comply with the agreement. Preventive measures against forest and land fires involve the central and local governments, as well as the active participation of local communities. Education and socialization programs about the dangers of forest and land fires, relevant regulations, and their negative impacts are crucial components of the prevention strategy. Furthermore, private companies such as Asian Agri and PT SRL play a significant role in supporting these prevention programs. The research findings indicate that despite numerous efforts, the issues of forest fires and transboundary air pollution remain serious concerns in the Southeast Asian region. AATHP, as a binding legal framework for Indonesia, requires more extensive and sustainable efforts to achieve the desired goals of preventing transboundary air pollution. Community awareness and cooperation between government, private entities, and NGOs will be key to addressing this issue.

Instrument and evaluation of students’ involvement in learning Mathematics in 21-century skills at senior high schools of Riau province

Student engagement is the most crucial factor in learning activities because it is the main factor in improving student learning outcomes in class. This study aims to develop instruments and evaluate student involvement in learning mathematics to achieve maximum learning outcomes at school. The population in this study was all high school students in Riau Province. The sample is 150 high school students selected by multiple-stage random sampling based on high, medium, and low student achievement levels. Data analysis in this study was carried out four times: (1) data analysis based on the results of expert assessment of the instrument with the Aiken formula; (2) small-scale validity data analysis with first-order CFA; (3) large-scale data analysis with second-order CFA analysis; (4) descriptive analysis to see the categorization of student learning engagement in Riau Province whether in very good, good, not good and very not good. The analysis using the Aiken formula shows that 24 out of 27 items developed are valid. The first-order CFA analysis shows that the 24 items distributed are valid. The second-order analysis shows that the construct validity of the learning involvement variable is valid and reliable. The analysis of learning involvement results shows that students' involvement in learning mathematics is in the not-good category. The Riau provincial government needs to maximize student learning engagement which can be done by regulating students' effective study hours at school and home. Collaboration between parents and schools must be improved so parents can control student learning outside of school.

Assessing Social and Economic Impact

KEMANDIRIAN DAN KEMAMPUAN KEUANGAN DAERAH DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI DI PROVINSI RIAU

The study aims to analyze regional financial independence, regional financial capabilities, and their impact on economic growth in Riau province. To analyze it, it uses the calculation of the ratio of financial independence and the ratio of regional financial capabilities and uses the degree of fiscal decentralization, while the economic growth rate uses the PDRB of Riau province. Data was used in 2017-2022 with data processing using the Stata 15 application. From the analysis, the level of financial independence in Riau province for 2017-2019 is very low with an instructive relationship pattern, meaning that the central government is dominant in financial independence when compared to the role of the Riau provincial government itself. In 2020-2022, the ratio of financial independence of the Riau province is low with a pattern of constructive relations, meaning that the role of the central government is slightly reduced and the role of the central government, in this case, is only a consulting provider related to the implementation of regional autonomy in the Riau region. The ratio of regional financial capabilities in Riau province is still in the sufficient category for 2017-2018 and 2021-2022 and the category is less for 2019-2020, meaning that the role of the central government is still needed but not as large as the previous year. Partially only the financial capabilities of the regions affect economic growth but simultaneously both free variables have no effect. This means that the higher the regional financial capability, the more economic growth in Riau. If regional financial independence is higher, it will not have an impact on increasing economic growth in Riau.
