Dynamics of Agricultural Development in Coastal Areas and Small Islands; Criticism of Human Resource Management in Local Government Organizations

Agricultural development must be the government's main focus to achieve comprehensive and serious economic development for society. The (Regional) Government as a public organization holding autonomous rights to determine policies to increase agricultural development must begin to prepare. What many experts have highlighted is the role of Regional Government in regional development in terms of human resources, namely the existence of a personnel system called bureaucracy. Every organization needs to develop human resources (HR) through improving performance to have abilities, skills, and positive attitudes to carry out their duties well. Experts and scholars say that three concepts among the many are highlighted in the aspect of bureaucratic resource management to improve employees' work, namely organizational justice, organizational politics, and work commitment. The research aims to determine and analyze the achievements of implementing agricultural development; and to know and analyze the respective relationships between organizational justice, organizational politics, and work commitment on employee performance in agricultural development. Use a quantitative approach to causality design. Take the case of Wakatobi Regency with its unique coastal areas and small islands. The sample was 225 employees or around 44% of the total sample of 514 people. The number of samples was determined by Slovin calculation and then taken at simple random. Primary data was obtained through distributing questionnaires, and secondary data from economic reports from authorized institutions. Data were analyzed using the SEM-AMOS approach. The results of the analysis found that development in Wakatobi Regency is supported by the agricultural and fisheries sectors. Its role is very dominant in GRDP, but it has not shown a direction that is in line with economic growth because it has experienced a decline. One of the aspects highlighted is that the performance of local governments in agricultural and fisheries development has not been optimal. The theoretical implication is that development performance analysis must use variables and indicators from empirical factual data (non-perception) through GRDP values and economic growth. Because, it has been proven that aspects of implementing human resource management through organizational politics and organizational justice have been proven to have a significant influence on performance, while work commitment is not yet significant. Practical implications for the government as a development policy formulator are to evaluate the development approaches that have been carried out, as well as regional leaders and leaders of regional apparatus implementing units (OPD) to pay attention to employee work commitment because our findings prove that their role is still weak in carrying out their duties and functions as ASN.

Kajian Peranan Sektor Ekonomi Basis Terhadap Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) Kabupaten Lamongan Tahun 2022

The improving condition of the regional economy can be seen through economic growth, of course this cannot be separated from the support of an increase in investment value. Lamongan Regency's long-term economic development aims to increase sustainable economic growth by providing investment opportunities for investors. A good investment climate is needed by investors so that their investments have a positive impact. Regional economic development hopes to have good progress and can increase the GRDP of Lamongan Regency. Various efforts have been made by the regional government to promote Lamongan Regency with the aim of attracting investor interest so that GRDP and Regional Income increase, as well as having a direct impact on equitable development in all fields. In this situation, there needs to be a phenomenal instrument to encourage the investment climate, by calculating 17 GRDP economic sectors, to find out which economic sectors have a basic economy, and this needs to be supported by the Lamongan Regency Regional Regulation. The GRDP of Lamongan Regency from 2017-2021 is a description of the economic activities of 17 GDP economic sectors which are experiencing fluctuations. Economic structure based on business field, rate of economic growth in a region, increase in prices of goods and services over one year, determination of base and non-base sectors, development of investment value based on target and realization, development of gross fixed capital formation, investment opportunities seen through the ICOR approach . The role of regional government as regional leaders and OPD as regional government organizers, needs to support economic activities so that GRDP in 2022 increases. Using the ICOR value can predict the amount of investment in the four sectors, namely the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries sectors amounting to IDR 7,115,508,510,000.00, the Processing Industry sector amounting to IDR 12,289,068,850,000.00, Wholesale and Retail Trade sector; Car and Motorbike repairs amounting to IDR 21,761,325,480,000.00, Real Estate sector amounting to IDR 2,809,442,040,000.00. This results in a prediction of the GRDP value increasing to Rp. 28,853,394,420,000 and investment/capital investment requirements to increase the GRDP of Lamongan Regency amounting to Rp. 15,580,832,990,000.00, this economic sector needs to be supported by a Regional Regulation concerning Providing Incentives and Facilitation of Regional Investment which has a positive impact on Investment and absorbs Lamongan Regency workforce.

Kontroversi Revisi Undang-Undang Minerba Terhadap Hak Asasi Manusia Masyarakat Hukum Adat

Law no. 3 of 2020 is predicted to be able to improve mineral and coal mining by integrating the concept of real participation in the community. In fact, the Minerba Law has sparked polemics on human rights issues. This research aims to find out what are the controversial regulations on the Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples contained in the Minerba Law and the community's efforts to fight for human rights contained in the Minerba Law. This research uses normative juridical methods, namely research starting from statutory regulations, books, scientific journals and websites. The results of the research are that there are several articles that have multiple interpretations regarding the rights of customary law communities which are detrimental to the community. This controversy has certainly drawn a response from the public whose efforts are to carry out a judicial review at the Constitutional Court. Constitutional Court Decision Number 37/PUU-XIX/2022 Revision of Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining as partly amended by Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia seems to provide a wide path to oligarchic profit-seekers rather than paying attention to the welfare of the Indonesian people. Looking at the problems above, the role of regional government is a solution in making regional legal product policies that can provide solutions for empowering, fostering respect and protection of MHA as a subject of development.

Community Empowerment Policy by Regional Governments from Defense and Security Threats in the Era of Society 5.0

This study aims to see and analyze the implementation of community empowerment policies and the challenges of national defense threats carried out by the Government of Indonesia, especially the role of regional governments. Quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, there are a total of 514 regencies and cities in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) consisting of 416 regencies and 98 cities. Through a qualitative method using a narrative policy analysis approach, this research shows the forms and challenges of defense policy as a policy strategy carried out to maintain Indonesian sovereignty, especially in regional government based on the narrative and symbolic structures that exist in the policy process through community empowerment. The results of this study indicate that defense policies in local governments to support national defense are still not optimal because first bilateral and multilateral cooperation have not been carried out with other regions that are directly involved in conflict, secondly there is no coordination between regions and related agencies in the implementation of defense policies implemented in the regions. . This is evidenced by the lack of collaboration between regions regarding community empowerment in warding off threats that will occur at any time in the era of society 5.0.

The Collaboration in Socializing Policies of Covid-19 Pandemic

Role of regional government in socializing the policy produced by SKPD of this local government is an obligation for every apparatus to socialize that policy so that the society, as the main receiver of the related polciy, will get their rights and obligations properly.

Water in Spain: paradigm changes in water policy

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the gradual eclipse of a water management paradigm governed by the dominance of hydropower and irrigation-driven development. With the advent of new values, the former approach has given way to an acknowledgement of the value of water for its intangible contribution to the landscape, among other things. The European Water Framework Directive has lent further impetus to changes in water management and governance. Future water authorities and stakeholders will face additional management challenges such as growing water scarcity, climate change and the predominant role of regional governments in water use negotiation and decision-making.

The moderating effect of efficiency and non-market capability in relationship between government involvement and resources to performance of water supply companies (PDAM) in Sulawesi, Indonesia

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the moderating effect of efficiency and non-market capability in the relationship between government involvement and resources to performance of water supply companies (PDAM) in Sulawesi, Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is explanatory in nature, i.e. it explains the relationship (causality) between the external environment variables (government involvement), internal environment variables (resources and non-market capabilities) and the performance of taps in Sulawesi through hypothesis testing. The research was conducted in six provinces in the northern peninsula of Sulawesi Island: North Sulawesi Province, Gorontalo Province, Central Sulawesi Province, Southeast Sulawesi Province, South Sulawesi Province and West Sulawesi Province. The research was undertaken from September 2011 to December 2011. The analysis unit in this research was PDAM, while the research population was the regional water company (PDAM) in Sulawesi. A quantitative approach was used for data analysis, i.e. variance-based inferential statistical analysis with structural equation modeling, known as partial least squares, with variable non-market capability acting as a moderating variable.FindingsGovernment involvement has a significant and positive effect on the performance, indicating that the higher the government involvement, the higher the performance of a company. Efforts to reduce water loss level for PDAM is a strategic move, as they are associated with PDAM’s stakeholders. Water loss will lead to poor customer service, low contribution to the acceptance of regional governments and failure to meet natural conservation programs. On the other hand, to reduce the water loss level, considerable capital is needed for investment, for example, to finance the installation and repair of pipelines, pumps, mains water meter, customer water meter, the cost of water treatment, fuel costs and the expansion of the water source. In general, PDAM in Sulawesi still has problems in terms of expansion because of the lack of funding sources; hence, the role of regional government as the owner is expected, both in the form of financial aid and the tariff adjustment. The government should be in favor of thorough development of drinking water, as embodied in the form of finance, budget commitment and the commitment to the development of PDAM.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of this study are that the data used in this study are cross-sectional, so they only describe the condition at a particular time. Also, the sample was limited to Sulawesi taps; therefore, to generalize the findings, a larger sample needs to be considered.Practical implicationsThe practical implications of this study are that development of water supply company cannot be separated from the government’s involvement as one of the stakeholders to improve corporate performance, especially through financial assistance. In connection with it, a board of directors or management of PDAM in every department of a company constantly works on government involvement, especially financial aid to fund or investment fund sharing, to improve service to customers. Such activities run a company aimed at achieving efficiency with emphasis on the efficiency of production and distribution capacity by managing the leakage rate, the emphasis on labor costs by keeping the ratio of employees ideal, the emphasis on aspects of the supply and distribution through control of water resources and water meter mains and water customers and an emphasis on the use of raw materials or chemicals with attention to the quality of raw water.Social implicationsThe social implications of this study are that government interventions are supported by the availability of resources according to the needs able to create efficiencies that have an impact on improving the performance of taps. Companies performing well can operate optimally in providing drinking water that meets health standards. In addition, the performance achieved allows the taps to embody the organization’s mission as a creator of jobs and local revenue for local governments.Originality/valueOriginality for this paper shows the moderating effect of efficiency and non-market capability in the relationship between government involvement and resources to PDAM. The originality also includes the location of this study (six provinces in the northern peninsula of Sulawesi Island: North Sulawesi Province, Gorontalo Province, Central Sulawesi Province, Southeast Sulawesi Province, South Sulawesi Province and West Sulawesi Province) as no previous research has investigated this relationship in this geography.

Entangled in scales: multilevel governance challenges for regional planning strategies

The academic discourse considers the regional scale as an important planning level to provide for spatial objectives that transcend the boundaries of local authorities. Nonetheless, the problem-solving capacity of the regional planning level is still questioned by both academics and practitioners. This paper studies the tension between formal and informal regional governance and its practical challenges for two cases of Dutch provinces struggling with their position in regional governance networks. These cases entail pan-European development (Trans-European Transport Networks – TEN-T) and regional land development (Bloemendalerpolder). It was found that at the metropolitan scale, formal regional planning powers tend to overrule socially produced regional governance arrangements. Simultaneously, regional planning powers lack support of these socially produced arrangements for their interventions. At the same time, at the supra-regional scale, provinces are a logical stakeholder to fulfil a prominent role in regional governance, but often lack the institutional capacity to act as such. We therefore argue that regional planning authorities need to be granted the power and capacity to take up a more centripetal, intermediate role in governance arrangements. This would provide them more capacity to act in disentangling the difficult practical challenges of scalar problems that many regional governance arrangements currently face.

The Role of Regional Government in Growing Small and Medium Enterprises’ Performance towards Creative Industry in Jambi Province

Globalization requires Small and Medium enterprises to increase its existence in order to compete in a global world. Small and Medium enterprises have to always increase the creativity to be able to create products that have innovated. Yet currently, SMEs still have obstacles in increasing its existence, such as the poor ability of businesses, the difficulty of access to capital and does not quickly follow the development of science and technology. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of government to grow the performance of SMEs towards creative industry in Jambi Province. The sampling technique for the location and respondents is in a purposive sampling. The provision of sample site and respondents selection is based on the already defined criteria. For locations, there are 7 (seven) locations selected as the samples and 200 for the sample of respondents. The analysis method used is the descriptive analysis depicting government role in improving SMEs performance. The results of the study explain that the government’s support is still low to improve the quality of human resources through education and training. There are still SMEs which have never attended the training because the Department of Industry and Trade has not had a database of SMEs which have attended the training or not. SMEs still have capital problems. The government is not yet optimally introducing technological advances and not yet optimally assisting the development and marketing of products. There is overlapping of the same programs among SKPD that empower SMEs. From the other side, the business climate is already conducive as the government gives ease of permit and smoothness of business. The results of the study recommend (1) to provide education and training equally for SMEs (2) Creation of synergistic between the related SKPD and SMEs (3) Developing microfinance institution to solve the capital problem (3) Jambi Provincial Government needs to build cooperation with universities to do Transfer of science and technology.

The governance of religious diversity in stateless nations: the case of Catalonia

ABSTRACTAcademic literature dealing with the governance of religious diversity in Europe has gained saliency in recent years. However, most existing research is based on state-level policies, while the role of regional government is receiving far less attention. To address this lacuna, this article focuses attention on the role of the regional government in the regulation of religious diversity in Catalonia. The article reflects on the increasing relevance of religious affairs in the Catalan policy agenda and examines the emergence and configuration of a specific, distinct and prominent regional policy programme on religious diversity. The case of Catalonia is especially relevant since its ongoing nation-building project bestows additional complexity and strategic relevance on the policy approach towards religious issues.

Organized business and regional integration in Africa

ABSTRACTAlthough the role of organized business in regional economic integration is well documented, extant scholarship portrays them as mere legitimizers and partners of regional policy. This neat categorization fails to capture the complicated, ‘multiscalarity’ of business and overall civil society's role in regional governance. Drawing insights from social constructivism and empirical evidence from fieldwork conducted in 2012 and 2013 on the interactions between the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and region-wide business associations and advocacy networks since the early 1990s, this article shows that although African business groups are relatively new actors at the regional stage, their impact on regional governance is substantial. This is not only in terms of getting governments to adopt particular policies or the ability to hold the state accountable, as functional institutionalists might argue, but also in terms of the regional socialization effects, namely the willingness and ability to frame issues that influence the choices of political decision-makers. Business regional governance roles also straddle competing conventional roles, and sometimes counter the neoliberal vision of regional integration, even among those that owe their emergence to regional organizations. The study also challenges the pervasive view of business actors (especially in Africa) as simply profit-seekers by highlighting the ways business actors have deployed and acted on principled beliefs about regional identity collectively or individually to forge denser and relatively effective policy coalitions that signal unfolding changes in the direction of regional policy in Africa.

Organized Business and Regional Integration in Africa

Although the role of organized business in the formation and effectiveness of regional economic integration is well documented, extant scholarship portrays them as mere legitimizers and partners of regional policy, and rarely countering hegemonic regional identity narratives. This neat categorization fails to capture the complicated, “multiscalarity” of business and overall civil society’s role in regional governance. Drawing insights from social constructivism and empirical evidence from fieldwork conducted in 2012 and 2013 on the interactions between the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and region-wide business associations and advocacy networks since the early 1990s, the paper shows that although African business groups are a relatively new actors at the regional stage, their impact on regional governance is substantial. This is not necessarily in terms of getting governments to adopt particular policies or the ability to hold the state accountable, as functional institutionalists might argue, but in terms of the regional socialization effects, namely the willingness and ability of business to formally and informally frame norms and issues that influence the choices of political decision makers. Business regional governance roles also straddle competing conventional roles, and sometimes counter the hegemonic neoliberal vision of regional integration, even among those that owe their existence to the regional organization. The study also challenges the pervasive view of business actors (especially in Africa) as simply profit seekers by highlighting ways business actors have deployed and acted on principled beliefs about regional identity collectively or individually to forge denser and relatively effective policy coalitions that are changing the direction of regional policy in Africa. The findings have implications for fostering the emergence of credible actors whose policy activism might elevate formal and informal regional institutions as alternative sites of state-society constructions of good governance for regional development.

The Role of Regional Governments in Climate Change Policy

ABSTRACTClimate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us, and it requires urgent policy action. Although climate change policies are mainly being discussed at international level by means of the United Nations Conventions and the Kyoto Protocol, the bulk of the impact will be felt at regional and local level. Regional and local governments are thus important actors. Moreover, regional governments in many parts of the world hold a wide range of the competences to implement policy actions for both adaptation and mitigation. This paper illustrates the important role of regions in climate policies and considers many of the policy instruments being designed and implemented. The paper describes 23 leading regions in climate policy. Finally, the case of Basque climate policy is described as an example of an industrial region in Europe where the degree of decentralization is significant.

Changes in the responsibilities and financing of the health system in Italy

The article attempts to shed light on recent developments in the Italian national health service, particularly the changes introduced by the reforms of the late 1990s. By strengthening the role of regional governments, these measures deeply affected the previous centre-regional balance of power. The article contrasts the co-operative approach adopted by the centre-left governments that originally introduced the relevant legislation with the confrontational style typical of the following centre-right majority. Given that health funding played a crucial role in the controversy between the national government and the regions, the article discusses the rationale of legislation on fiscal federalism and its implementation, but also the quantity and quality of health care services provided in the different parts of the country. As the article illustrates, northern and central regions continue to have a higher level of services compared to the south, thereby attracting a considerable number of hospital patients from ill-equipped southern areas. The last part of the article addresses this topical issue and the possibility that inter-regional conflicts might surface and complicate the situation further, especially in the light of the constitutional reform approved by the centre-right majority just before the end of the legislative process.

Making a difference? Regional government, economic development and European regional policy

This article assesses the contribution regional government makes to economic development. The role of regional government is evaluated through a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of two different regions, Tuscany in Italy and the East Midlands in the UK, which possess different types of regional governance structures, managing a common framework—European Regional Policy. I conclude that democratically elected regional government may provide a number of crucial advantages for promoting economic development.
