Aulia — 2025-04-30

This study aims to determine the implementation of e-Government in Tebo Regency, the effectiveness of the Tebo Mobileapplication, and the government’s efforts to improve its effectiveness. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and the distribution of questionnaires to the community. The findings of this study reveal several points regarding the implementation process of e-Government in Tebo Regency, which has reached the fourth stage (Utilization). At this stage, several application programs have been developed by various agencies, including SIPUJA, ABDI Tebo, and SIPAMTO.PA, and Tebo Mobile. The Tebo Mobile application can be downloaded through the Google Play Store. It contains various types of information about local governance and geographic data of Tebo Regency. In addition to providing information, the application also includes public service features such as a public complaints and aspirations forum, business licensing services, and e-Samsat. However, based on Campbell’s theory of effectiveness, the use of the Tebo Mobile application in Tebo Regency remains ineffective in terms of usefulness, integration, and user satisfaction. Moreover, the efforts of the Tebo Regency Government, particularly the Department of Communication and Informatics, to enhance the effectiveness of Tebo Mobile have been limited by several obstacles, including budget reallocation, a shortage of IT programmers, and staff workload overload.

Cici Sundari — 2025-04-30

The rapid development of digital technology offers a significant opportunity for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to expand their market reach and enhance business competitiveness. However, MSMEs in Maro Sebo Village, Muaro Jambi Regency, still face obstacles in using digital technology for product marketing. This community service aims to improve the knowledge and skills of MSME actors in using social media and e-commerce as platforms for product marketing. The method used is Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), with the following stages: problem identification, socialization, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), training, and monitoring and evaluation. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and pre-test and post-test assessments. The findings revealed that the main challenges include a lack of knowledge about social media use, limited digital technology skills, and a lack of a sustainable digitalization system. This program has increased participants’ understanding by 44% (from an average of 36% to 80%) and encouraged the adoption of digital platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Shopee, and Tokopedia. The program's impact showed a 68% increase in monthly turnover, a 132% increase in customer expansion, and a 50% increase in promotional cost efficiency. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach helps identify factors that affect the acceptance of technology by MSME actors. This study concludes that the digitalization of MSMEs requires collaboration among village governments, universities, and the community to ensure the program's sustainability. Strengthening digital infrastructure and continuous mentoring are the keys to the success of MSME digitalization in Maro Sebo Village.

E-GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL INNOVATION IN PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERY: A CASE STUDY OF THE LAPOR APPLICATION IN MATARAM CITY

cahyadi kurniawan — 2025-04-30

The era of globalization has brought fundamental changes in the way governments provide public services. In the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, information technology is increasingly dominant in everyday life; governments worldwide are seeking to leverage it to improve the efficiency and availability of public services. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the LAPOR application in improving the quality of public services and in increasing citizen involvement in monitoring the implementation of government at the regional level. The approach used in this study is qualitative and descriptive, based on literature from various online sources, including official documents, agency reports, and academic publications. The study results show that the success of implementing the LAPOR application in Mataram City depends heavily on the system's ability to handle public reports comprehensively and in a coordinated manner. The report handling process is the most dominant aspect, accounting for 25%, confirming that the mechanisms for receiving, verifying, distributing, following up, and providing feedback are the core of the effectiveness of public complaint services. Other important aspects, such as technological infrastructure, community socialization, and transparency of information, also contribute significantly to creating a complaint system that is inclusive, accessible, and trusted by the public. In addition, the visualization of the LAPOR application feature network shows that it operates as a centralized system integrating 10 main features. Each feature is designed to strengthen the application's role as a complaint management tool and a two-way communication tool between the government and citizens. Features such as online complaints, monitoring and evaluation, advanced filtering, and data publication enable an efficient, transparent, and participatory reporting process. These features not only expand the reach of information but also encourage active community participation in monitoring the performance of public services.

ahmad syahrul m syahrul — 2025-04-30

This study aims to evaluate the policy on the distribution of subsidized fertilizers in Garut Regency, as stipulated in Regent Regulation No. 876 of 2013. Fertilizer subsidies play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring national food security; however, their implementation often faces persistent challenges, including unequal distribution, delivery delays, and limited transparency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach based on William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework, which comprises six indicators—effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy—this study provides a comprehensive assessment of policy implementation at the local level. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with farmers, literature review, and documentation. The findings reveal that the fertilizer subsidy policy in Garut Regency has not yet achieved full effectiveness or efficiency. Problems persist, including inaccurate data on fertilizer needs, unequal distribution among farmer groups, and the government’s slow response to farmers’ complaints. The study highlights the urgent need to reform the fertilizer distribution system, strengthen supervision, and involve farmers in planning and evaluation to ensure the fertilizer subsidy policy achieves its intended goals—accuracy, fairness, and sustainability—while delivering optimal benefits to the agricultural sector in Garut Regency.

Wina Habriana — 2025-04-30

This study aims to determine the performance of the Jambi Province BLKP, the inhibiting factors of the job training center (BLK), and the training development strategy at BLK. UPTD Jambi City Job Training and Productivity Center, in improving the quality of the workforce, runs effectively. If you have passed the certification exam, you will get two certificates from the Jambi Province BLKP, which will make it easier for you to find a job and give you access to quality infrastructure and resources to help you overcome movement problems. This is unresolved because many obstacles remain. Obstacles to the BLK UPTD are divided into two types: internal and external. In addition to the lack of facilities and infrastructure, there is insufficient strength to teach or structure for training, and budgets have been reduced. On the contrary, the external pressure on the BLK Leadership UPTD stems from the absence of former volunteers for the program. For the UPTD Job Training Center (BLK) in Jambi Province, a workforce development strategy was developed. UPTD Job Training Center (BLK) of Jambi Province realizes growth by increasing worker productivity and encouraging socialization; Therefore, teachers and other internal staff are required to make improvements every year. UPTD Job Training Center (BLK) of Jambi Province contacted the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) regarding a competency-based training program integrating theory and practice, with greater emphasis on practice.

Muhammad Jodi — 2025-04-30

This study aims to identify the strategies implemented by the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government to address illegal drilling. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with an empirical juridical specification. This empirical juridical approach is based on primary legal materials, examining theories, concepts, principles of law, and statutory regulations relevant to the research, while also considering actual field conditions. The results of the study reveal that: (1) Musi Banyuasin Regency in South Sumatra Province possesses relatively enormous crude oil potential; (2) illegal oil wells discovered by the researcher, particularly in Bayung Lencir Subdistrict—Bayat Ulu Village (six sites) and Kali Berau (three sites)—pose significant risks to both the environment and the surrounding communities. The wells, with depths ranging from 120 to 150 meters, have become a source of livelihood for residents, yet they also endanger the environment and public safety. Illegal drilling remains a persistent challenge within Indonesia's oil and gas subsector. To address this issue, both the central and regional governments have collaborated to establish a Special Task Force to handle illegal oil and Gas Activities.
