Implementation of Shoe MSME Empowerment Policy as an Effort to Improve Competitiveness and the Local Economy of Mojokerto City
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze how the government policy of Mojokerto City is implemented to support the empowerment of shoe SMEs and to identify the factors influencing the success or failure of the policy. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. Data was collected from shoe SMEs, relevant government officials, and supporting institutions. Data analysis was conducted using Edwards III's public policy implementation theory, which includes four indicators: communication, bureaucratic structure, resources, and implementer disposition. The findings of this study show that although the policy for empowering shoe SMEs has had a positive impact in several areas, such as improving product quality and marketing awareness, there are still barriers in terms of inter-institutional coordination, access to funding, and human resource quality. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of the shoe SME empowerment policy in Mojokerto City can succeed with improvements in more effective communication, better coordination between institutions, and strengthening the resources needed by SMEs. Recommendations for the local government include simplifying administrative procedures, increasing access to funding, and enhancing entrepreneurship training relevant to the needs of shoe SMEs. Therefore, this policy is expected to have a greater impact on competitiveness and the local economy.

Innovation of Electronic Land Rights Certificate Service at the Surabaya City Land Agency II
type: item
description: This abstract summarizes the innovation in land administration services through the implementation of Electronic Land Rights Certificates (e-Certificates) by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). The policy responds to persistent challenges in conventional land certificate services, including lengthy bureaucratic procedures, limited transparency, and risks of document duplication and forgery. The study focuses on the implementation of e-Certificate services at the Surabaya City Land Office II, aiming to analyze the effectiveness of the innovation, supporting and inhibiting factors, and its impact on public service quality. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed, utilizing Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation theory (1971) with five key indicators: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Data collection methods include document analysis, in-depth interviews, and field observation. Findings indicate that the e-Certificate provides significant benefits, such as time efficiency, enhanced data security, and improved transparency. The innovation also aligns with national priorities for digital transformation and bureaucratic reform. However, notable complexity persists due to limited digital literacy among the public and adaptation challenges faced by employees. Limited-scope pilot implementation supports iterative system improvements, while observable outcomes include accelerated services and increased public trust. Key enabling factors consist of strong national policy support, advanced digital infrastructure in Surabaya, and organizational commitment. Conversely, constraints include limited human resources, resistance to organizational change, and data security concerns. Overall, the e-Certificate innovation at the Surabaya City Land Office II has generated new public value through faster, more efficient, and accountable services, establishing a model for advancing digital transf…

Prabowo Subianto’s Leadership in His Speech at the 80th UN General Assembly: A Rhetorical Analysis of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos
type: item
description: State speeches in international forums are a strategic arena for the practice of diplomacy and leadership image management. This study analyzes President Prabowo Subianto's rhetorical style in his speech at the 80th UN General Assembly on September 23, 2025. Using Aristotelian theory, namely ethos, pathos, and logos, to understand how rhetoric functions in strengthening political legitimacy, humanitarian solidarity, and international policy arguments. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines transcripts of official speeches and identifies quotations that represent each persuasive mode. The analysis shows that Prabowo builds ethos through historical references, concrete actions of Indonesia such as the contribution of peacekeeping troops, and pathos is depicted through narratives of suffering, calls for solidarity, and an emphasis on the future of the younger generation; while logos is demonstrated through the presentation of data, policy plans such as the net-zero target, technical solutions such as sea walls, and systematic cause-and-effect arguments. This combination of ethos, pathos, and logos confirms that the speech was not simply a policy statement but also a rhetorical diplomatic tool that strengthened Indonesia's image as a constructive global actor. These findings contribute to the study of leadership communication and diplomatic rhetoric, particularly in the context of developing countries seeking to enhance the role of multilateralism and soft power.

Hegemony in the Shadow of Tradition: Hidden Resistance of the Lio Indigenous Community Against Mosalaki Domination in the Era of Modernization
type: item
description: This research analyzes the dynamics of hegemony and resistance in the Lio indigenous community of Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, focusing on the power practices of mosalaki (traditional elites) and the forms of hidden resistance developed by farming communities. Using an ethnographic approach over four months in Keliwumbu Village, this study combines Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony with James Scott's theory of hidden transcripts to understand the complexity of power relations in traditional societies experiencing economic transformation. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with 18 informants, and document analysis, then analyzed using a thematic approach. Findings indicate that the legitimacy of mosalaki power is constructed through three main pillars: genealogical narratives derived from the myths of Lepe and Mbusu, control over customary land encompassing 70% of agricultural land, and ritual authority positioning them as intermediaries with ata mate (ancestral spirits). Hegemonic practices operate through the pire system (customary prohibitions), mandatory nggua rituals requiring offerings, and control over decision-making as evidenced in the coal-fired power plant construction case. However, farming communities have developed hidden resistance in the form of subtle sabotage, passive non-compliance, gossip and informal criticism, and exit strategies through migration and purchase of alternative land. This resistance operates within the same cultural framework as the hegemony it contests, developing alternative interpretations of "true custom" rather than rejecting the traditional system entirely. This research contributes to theoretical understanding of hegemony in non-Western societies and reveals that "local wisdom" discourse can be manipulated to perpetuate structural inequality. Practically, these findings demonstrate the need for more critical approaches in development policies that accommodate internal power dyna…

Study On The Implementation Of The Social Rehabilitation Program Policy For Physical Disabilities At East Java Provincial Social Service.
type: item
description: This study examines the implementation of social rehabilitation program policies for people with physical disabilities at the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) Social Rehabilitation Bina Laras Pasuruan under the East Java Provincial Social Service. Using George C. Edwards III's policy implementation model, this research analyses four key variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This qualitative descriptive study employed interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings reveal that the implementation has been running reasonably well, with clear communication channels established between program implementers and beneficiaries. However, several challenges persist, including limited human resources, particularly professional social workers and medical rehabilitation specialists, as well as budget constraints affecting service quality. The disposition of implementers shows a positive attitude toward policy goals, though the bureaucratic structure requires improvement in coordination mechanisms. The study concludes that while the social rehabilitation program has improved the quality of life for persons with disabilities, optimising policy implementation requires addressing resource limitations, strengthening inter-agency coordination, and enhancing community participation in rehabilitation efforts

Analysis of Determinants of Successful Digitalisation of Registration Services at Primary Healthcare Facilities in East Java on Patient Satisfaction Among JKN Participants: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: This study analyses the challenges of digitalising registration services at Primary Healthcare Facilities (Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama, FKTP) in East Java, including limitations in human resources, technological infrastructure, and public digital literacy, all of which affect the satisfaction of National Health Insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, JKN) patients. Utilising the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology with the PRISMA approach, the study reviews literature from 2024–2025 sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, using keywords related to digitalisation, FKTP, and patient satisfaction. The analysis is based on the ADO (Antecedent, Decision, Outcome) framework. The findings identify three key factors: (1) Antecedents (human resource competence, infrastructure, digital literacy); (2) Decisions (human resource training, facility modernisation, public outreach); and (3) Outcomes (increased patient satisfaction through time efficiency and ease of access). The study emphasises the need to strengthen human resources, provide adequate infrastructure, and educate the public to ensure the sustainability of digital healthcare services at FKTPs in East Java.

Improving Social Rehabilitation Services For Physical Disabilities Through Technology and Family Involvement At East Java Provincial Social Service
type: item
description: This study investigates strategies for improving social rehabilitation services for people with physical disabilities through technology-based approaches and family involvement at UPT Social Rehabilitation Bina Laras Pasuruan, East Java. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and documentation with rehabilitation staff, persons with disabilities, family members, and technology specialists. Findings reveal that integrating digital technologies—including mobile health applications, telemedicine platforms, and assistive devices—significantly enhances service accessibility and monitoring capabilities. Structured family involvement programs, encompassing psychoeducation sessions, home-based care training, and support groups, demonstrate substantial improvements in rehabilitation outcomes. Critical success factors include adequate technological infrastructure, staff digital literacy, family commitment, and inter-agency coordination. Challenges include the digital divide, resistance to technological adoption, and sustainability concerns. The research concludes that a hybrid model combining technology-enabled services with intensive family participation offers the most promising approach and recommends policy frameworks that institutionalise these innovations while ensuring equitable access across diverse beneficiary populations

Analysis of the Problem of Providing Assistance to Poor Families in the Family Hope Program A Case Study of Jagakarsa District
type: item
description: The Family Hope Program (PKH) is one of the main instruments of social protection policies in Indonesia that aims to reduce poverty through conditional social assistance. However, in its implementation, this program still faces various problems related to the accuracy of the aid distribution targets, especially in urban areas such as Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta. This study aims to analyze various problems in the distribution of PKH social assistance, assess their impact on the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, and identify strategies that can ensure targeted assistance. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with a case study method, through data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of PKH companions, Beneficiary Families (KPM), and village officials in Jagakarsa District. The results of the study show that although PKH has provided real benefits for most KPMs, its implementation is still constrained by inaccurate data, limited capacity of companions, low digital literacy, and weak coordination between agencies. On the other hand, targeted distribution of assistance has been proven to increase access to education and health, improve household economic conditions, and encourage behavioral changes towards independence. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed including strengthening the capacity of social companions, digitizing the distribution system, active community participation, and local culture-based empowerment education to ensure the long-term effectiveness of PKH in reducing poverty rates.

Integrative Conceptual Model of Public Services in Islands Characterized Regions Through a Study of Multidimensional Literature Synthesis
type: item
description: This research aims to develop an Integrative Conceptual Model of Public Services in Archipelago Characterized Regions through a study of multidimensional literature synthesis. The focus of the research is directed at four main dimensions, namely maritime infrastructure, adaptive legal frameworks, geography-based governance, and digital innovation, which interact with each other in forming an effective, adaptive, and sustainable public service system. The method used is qualitative research based on non-SLR literature review with a narrative-integrative approach according to the guidelines of (Winarno, 2020). A total of 15 national and international articles were analyzed using thematic coding and cross-dimensional synthesis techniques to identify patterns of interconnectedness between variables. The results show that maritime infrastructure is the foundation of service accessibility, adaptive legal frameworks ensure policy legitimacy and fairness, geography-based governance strengthens the effectiveness of decentralization, and digital innovation accelerates efficiency and public participation. The synthesis of these findings gave birth to a new conceptual framework called the Integrated Maritime Public Service Framework, which emphasizes the importance of synergy between physical, social, legal, and technological aspects of the archipelago. The conclusion of the study confirms that the paradigm of public service in the archipelago has shifted from a bureaucratic model to an integrative and collaborative approach based on Pancasila values. This research contributes to the development of public governance theory and provides a new direction for service policy in the Indonesian archipelago.

Digital Transformation In Public Services : A Literature Review On Bureaucratic Innovation And Adaptation In The Era Of Digital Government
type: item
description: Digital transformation has emerged as a major catalyst for reform in contemporary public administration, reshaping how governments design, deliver, and evaluate public services. This literature review synthesizes key findings from international studies to map the dynamics of technological innovation and bureaucratic adaptation in the era of digital government. The results demonstrate that technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things accelerate administrative processes, enhance accuracy, reduce service costs, and strengthen transparency and accountability. However, the review also emphasizes that technological advancement alone is insufficient; the success of digital transformation depends on the capacity of public institutions to reorganize work structures, build digital competencies, and shift bureaucratic culture toward more adaptive and collaborative practices. Furthermore, digital participation platforms have expanded opportunities for citizen engagement, yet persistent digital divides—driven by socio-demographic disparities and unequal access to infrastructure—pose significant challenges to inclusive participation. The literature also reveals recurring barriers related to infrastructure readiness, cybersecurity, resistance to change, and limited digital literacy among public employees. Cross-country evidence from Turkey, Singapore, Italy, Iran, and the UAE shows similar transformation patterns, highlighting bureaucratic adaptation as a mediating factor between technological innovation and governance outcomes. Overall, this review offers an integrated conceptual understanding of digital transformation in public services and underscores the need for holistic strategies that combine technological investment, organizational reform, and inclusive governance to ensure sustainable and equitable digitalization.

Effectiveness of Maritime Sector Public Services
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures for immigration services at TPI Tanjung Priok Port and examine its impact on service effectiveness in Indonesia's maritime sector. The research employed a qualitative approach to analyse the gap between formal SOP guidelines and on-the-ground practices, examining internal and external factors, including resource limitations, technological constraints, and inter-agency coordination issues. The findings reveal significant disparities that lead to both positive and negative discretion amongst frontline Immigration officers, influencing service consistency, efficiency, and transparency. Negative discretion results in procedural deviations that compromise reliability and potentially foster corruption, delays, and inefficiencies. In contrast, positive discretion emerges as adaptive responses indicating weaknesses in SOP design or infrastructure. The study concludes that enhancing frontline officers' competence, motivation, and accountability is essential for achieving desired outcomes, whilst integrating technological solutions such as digital documentation and real-time monitoring is vital for streamlined, transparent, and accountable procedures. Improving SOP adherence, coupled with better resource allocation and inter-institutional cooperation, can significantly reduce vessel turnaround times, lower logistics costs, and bolster maritime competitiveness. The research advocates for dedicated training programmes, supervisory systems, and technological innovations to ensure SOP compliance, minimise discretion-driven deviations, and promote accountability, thereby optimising maritime service delivery and supporting Indonesia's strategic maritime development objectives.

Bureaucratic Reform and Digital Innovation in Travel Document Services
type: item
description: This research aims to analyse the implementation of digital innovation in passport services at the Class I Immigration Office Tanjung Perak as part of bureaucratic reform and Good Governance initiatives. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, to assess the successes and challenges of digital systems such as SIMKIM and M-Paspor. The findings reveal that digital innovation has successfully improved operational efficiency and generally provided transparency into costs and application status, whilst reducing queuing times and increasing service speed, thereby enhancing public satisfaction and trust in immigration services. However, the innovation has not fully addressed structural and cultural bureaucratic barriers, as field officers tend to become passive when systems experience errors or delays, struggling to provide detailed explanations about issues, which results in information ambiguity and potentially undermines procedural transparency and performance accountability principles. The study concludes that bureaucratic reform in the immigration sector requires internal cultural updates and enhanced human resource competencies to support comprehensive transparency and accountability. Digital infrastructure instability and officers' discretionary authority significantly influence the effectiveness of digital innovation. Whilst digital innovation offers substantial benefits in efficiency and transparency, its success depends heavily on strengthening systems, improving human resource skills, and fostering organisational cultural change, with continuous efforts essential for achieving effective, transparent, and accountable public service.

Synergy in Governance and Traffic Asset Management of the Ponorogo Transportation Agency: Bridging the Public Service Performance Gap
type: item
description: This qualitative study examines the Public Service Performance Gap at the Ponorogo Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub) in managing high-risk traffic assets, which stems from the failure to synergise Normative Governance with operational Public Asset Management (MAP). Utilising Edwards III's Policy Implementation Model and GG/NPS principles, the core finding indicates that synergy failure is mediated by a Reactive Bureaucratic Disposition. While Dishub adheres procedurally, asset maintenance is largely reactive—performed only after damage or public complaint—not preventive. This non-responsive attitude limits accountability to reporting outputs disconnected from physical service outcomes, leading to low service quality. The proposed substantive solution is to activate Community Involvement (NPS) as a key moderator, which is currently weak, by integrating Functional Participation into the agile MAP cycle. The research recommends an e-governance system with KPIs, where transparently integrated citizen reports automatically trigger work orders, creating external public accountability pressure that forces the reactive bureaucracy to act proactively.

Implementation of Good Governance in Passport and Residence Permit Services at Ngurah Rai Bali Immigration.
type: item
description: This study examines the implementation of Good Governance principles in passport and residence permit services at Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Bali. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research evaluates how digital transformation enhances transparency, accountability, efficiency, participation, and the rule of law in immigration services. Findings demonstrate that digital systems such as the M-Paspor application and the Integrated Residence Permit System have improved procedural transparency, reduced illegal levies, and strengthened public trust. Efficiency has increased through automation, which reduces processing times and human errors. Digital audit trails reinforce accountability by ensuring decisions are traceable and regulation-based. However, challenges exist in substantive accountability and responsiveness. Decision-making in non-standard cases lacks transparency, with limited explanation of the legal bases. Response times through formal channels such as hotlines often exceed standards due to lengthy cross-divisional coordination. Whilst digitalisation has brought significant improvements, further reforms are necessary to strengthen substantive accountability and responsiveness, thereby enhancing public trust and institutional legitimacy in accordance with good governance standards. Continuous improvements in integrated digital systems, staff training, and process streamlining remain essential for full compliance.

Strengthening Inter-Agency Collaboration Through an Integrated Implementation Model in the Social Rehabilitation Program for People with Physical Disabilities at UPT Bina Daksa Pasuruan
type: item
description: This research examines the strengthening of inter-agency collaboration through an integrated implementation model in the social rehabilitation program for people with physical disabilities at UPT Bina Daksa Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia. The social rehabilitation program for persons with disabilities faces significant challenges in coordination, resource allocation, and service integration among multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and community groups. This study employs a qualitative case study design, using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to collect data from program implementers, beneficiaries, and related stakeholders. The findings reveal that effective inter-agency collaboration requires five key elements: shared vision and goals, clear communication channels, adequate mechanisms for resource sharing, strong leadership commitment, and continuous monitoring and evaluation systems. The integrated implementation model developed in this study emphasises horizontal and vertical coordination, participatory planning, capacity building initiatives, and community empowerment strategies. The results demonstrate that strengthening inter-agency collaboration through this integrated model significantly improves program effectiveness, service quality, and beneficiary satisfaction. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of collaborative governance in disability services and provides practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners in developing countries

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the optimization of the use of Village Funds in efforts to develop Pethung Park tourism in Belik Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, using the New Public Governance (NPG) theoretical approach from Osborne and Gabler. NPG theory emphasizes the importance of collaboration, participation, networking, decentralization, as well as transparency and accountability in public governance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the village government, BUMDes, Pokdarwis, and the local community. The results of the study show that the Belik Village government has succeeded in making optimal use of the Village Fund as an instrument of local economic development and a means of community empowerment. The Village Fund is directed to tourism infrastructure development, human resource training, and digital-based tourism promotion. Collaboration between village governments, communities, and the private sector through BUMDes and Pokdarwis is able to create participatory and sustainable development governance. The real impact can be seen from the increase in the number of tourist visits, the growth of MSMEs, and the increase in the village's original income. This study concludes that NPG-based governance practices in Belik Village have resulted in development effectiveness and strengthened village economic independence. The results of this study can be a model for other villages in implementing the management of Village Funds for the tourism sector based on collaboration and community participation towards sustainable village development.

The study is positioned within the national framework to establish evidence-based and participatory planning in reaction to the growing complexity regional development. Despite Bappeda Sidoarjo implementing multiple data platforms and participatory channels such Musrenbang forums, online submission systems, and sector-specific information systems the results indicate that issues like data fragmentation, insufficient digital literacy, and ineffective follow-up mechanisms continue to impede planning effectiveness. Employing qualitative methodology that includes in-depth interviews, observation, and document review, the research reveals that data integration has not reached single source of truth because of the lack of a cohesive data architecture and compatible standards among government entities. Participatory methods have increased inclusivity, but the quality of proposals and verification processes is still variable, hindering the incorporation of grassroots feedback into planning priorities. Moreover, the ability of facilitators the subdistrict and village levels is crucial in determining the quality of the compiled proposals. The research ends by highlighting the importance of improved data governance, increased actor capability, revised participatory processes, and clear follow-up mechanisms.

Between GPA and Peace of Mind Academic Pressure vs Mental Health of Gen Z
type: item
description: Generation Z students face increasingly complex academic challenges within the competitive higher education ecosystem. The pressure to maintain academic performance, social expectations, and intense digital exposure contribute to rising mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and burnout. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic pressure and the psychological condition of Gen Z students using a quantitative-descriptive approach through an online survey. The research instrument adapted the Academic Stress Scale (ASS) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). The results show that the majority of respondents experience significant academic pressure, which correlates positively with symptoms of stress and anxiety. These findings highlight the importance of educational system reform that not only emphasizes academic performance but also supports students' mental well-being. Higher education institutions are expected to provide safe spaces, reliable counseling services, and more empathetic teaching approaches in response to the mental health issues facing this generation.
