This community engagement program aims to analyze and strengthen institutional synergy among the Special Crimes Division, the Civil and Administrative Affairs Division, and the Intelligence Division of the Palangka Raya District Prosecutor’s Office through a community-organizing framework and participatory collaboration. The initiative stems from a strategic need to optimize coordination, enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, and foster the development of an integrated work pattern that is responsive to the complexities of contemporary legal issues. Using the participatory action research (PAR) method, the program was implemented through participatory assessments, thematic discussions, field observations, case simulations, and the strengthening of legal administration, all of which collectively contributed to substantial improvements in analytical capacity, professionalism, and cross-divisional communication patterns. The findings indicate that synergy across divisions not only enhances the technical efficiency of case handling but also generates institutional social change through the establishment of new work routines, the emergence of local leaders, and the strengthening of internal social capital. Theoretically, these outcomes reinforce perspectives from collaborative governance, organizational learning, and institutional change, which emphasize that institutional transformation can only be achieved through functional integration, knowledge exchange, and the cultivation of a collaborative institutional culture. This program recommends the institutionalization of coordination procedures, the utilization of information technology as a tool for data integration, and the implementation of continuous synergistic training to sustain the changes achieved. Consequently, this engagement contributes both empirically and conceptually to the development of an adaptive, integrated law enforcement model aimed at improving the quality of public service delivery.

This study analyzes motor vehicle tax (PKB) compliance at the Binjai SAMSAT Office (2020–2024) using a quantitative descriptive approach. Significant fluctuations were detected: a drastic decrease in 2023 (83.98%) and a sharp increase in 2024 (167.91%). Service quality and taxpayer awareness have a positive effect on compliance. However, the tax amnesty policy and the effectiveness of fines have complex impacts and are strongly suspected of causing late payments and reducing the deterrent effect. The decrease in compliance in 2023 is thought to be related to the tax amnesty policy, which reduces incentives to pay on time. Conversely, the surge in compliance in 2024 can be explained as a response to improved services and a more intensive tax awareness campaign. While tax amnesty may help increase revenue in the short term, this study highlights the importance of consistent enforcement of sanctions to maintain long-term payment discipline. Recommendations include improving services, improving tax education, and evaluating fines and the tax amnesty policy. This research also emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the impact of amnesty policies on tax compliance patterns, as well as the crucial role of public awareness in increasing compliance with tax obligations. By utilizing empirical data, this study provides valuable insights for future tax policy improvements.  

The development of information technology offers great opportunities to improve public health services, particularly in managing health data for pregnant women and toddlers. However, at the community level, challenges remain such as manual recordkeeping, limited digital literacy, and the absence of integrated data systems. This community-based digital health data mentoring program aims to enhance the capacity of local cadres and residents to manage health data digitally, accurately, and sustainably. The methods included socialization sessions, training on health data recording applications, and field mentoring over a three-month period in community health posts. The results showed a significant improvement in cadres’ ability to use digital applications (from 45% to 90%) and a 60% reduction in data reporting time. Moreover, the quality of health data collected became more valid and easily accessible to medical staff and local health centers. This program has proven effective in fostering community independence in technology-based health data management and has the potential to be replicated in other regions with cross-sectoral support.

Thus, this research contributes to the development of effective and sustainable village public service governance.

This study evaluates the implementation of Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021 concerning Civil Servant Discipline, assessing its impact on enhancing the effectiveness and accountability of public administration within Sidoarjo Regency. Civil servant discipline constitutes a critical instrument in bureaucratic reform oriented towards good governance and high-quality public services. This research employs a qualitative approach utilising William Dunn's policy evaluation model, which encompasses the dimensions of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, responsiveness, and appropriateness. Data were collected through documentary analysis of prevailing legislation, local government performance reports, SAKIP (Government Agency Performance Accountability System) reports, SPIP (Government Internal Control System) reports, and digital human resource management system documents. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively, employing source triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The evaluation results indicate that Government Regulation 94/2021 is effective in reducing work procedure deviations, enhancing public service consistency, and strengthening accountability through clear audit trails. Integration with the 'Smart ASN' (State Civil Apparatus) and 'e-Kinerja' (e-Performance) systems reinforces the objectivity of performance assessments and minimises subjectivity. However, challenges persist regarding aspects of organisational culture, supervisory capacity, and the quality of infraction documentation. This study concludes that consistent disciplinary enforcement, when integrated with performance management systems, serves as a driving force for bureaucratic effectiveness and accountability. It further accelerates the consolidation of regional bureaucratic reform, fostering a bureaucracy that is professional, maintains high integrity, and is responsive to societal needs.

The digital transformation of public administration in recent decades has reshaped government service delivery, particularly through the adoption of technology as a tool to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability. The implementation of the Online Single Submission–Risk Based Approach (OSS-RBA) represents Indonesia’s strategic effort to create an integrated licensing framework aligned with the principles of good governance. This study aims to analyze the forms of administrative responsibility in digital-based licensing services under OSS-RBA and examine the accountability mechanisms applicable when system failures affect legal certainty for business actors. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches through the examination of regulations, doctrines, and administrative court decisions. The findings indicate that digitalization does not alter the core of governmental responsibility, as every decision generated by the system is legally attributed to the competent administrative authority. The implementation of OSS-RBA still faces obstacles such as system errors, data inconsistencies between institutions, and delays in technical verification, all of which directly affect legal certainty and the quality of public services. Furthermore, internal and external oversight mechanisms are not yet fully effective in preventing maladministration, including unreasonable delays and inaccuracies in automated decision-making. The study also shows that business actors require more responsive administrative remedies to prevent technological risks from shifting entirely onto them. Therefore, this research concludes that the effectiveness of OSS-RBA depends on strengthening institutional capacity, harmonizing regulations, and ensuring the consistent application of good governance principles throughout all stages of digital licensing administration.  

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the LAPORBUP application in improving public information services and identify obstacles to its implementation at the East Lombok Regency Communication and Informatics Office. LAPORBUP is a digital-based public service innovation that makes it easier for the public to convey complaints, aspirations, and suggestions quickly, transparently, and accountably. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The data obtained are analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show that the implementation of LAPORBUP is able to improve the quality of public information services through a more practical, open, and responsive reporting system. The public can monitor the progress of reports through a ticket system, while the government uses report data as a basis for policy evaluation. In addition, socialization through various media has also encouraged increased public understanding and use of the application. However, the implementation of LAPORBUP still faces several obstacles. Internal obstacles include limited human resources, minimal technical training, and limited operational budget. Meanwhile, external obstacles include low digital literacy among the public and a lack of awareness among some residents in utilizing the service. Thus, LAPORBUP has made a positive contribution to strengthening public information services in East Lombok Regency. Through increased human resource capacity, enhanced digital literacy, and adequate budget support, this application has the potential to become a model for technology-based public service innovation that can strengthen government-community relations and support transparent, accountable, and responsive governance

This study analyzes performance measurement frameworks and accountability mechanisms in public service delivery through a comprehensive literature review of studies published between 2015 and 2025. Although models such as the 3E (economy, efficiency, effectiveness) and IOO (input–output–outcome) frameworks are widely used in public administration, evidence indicates that their implementation often falls short due to data limitations, bureaucratic resistance, and limited utilization of performance results in decision-making. The literature also highlights a persistent gap between theoretical performance frameworks and actual public service practices, particularly in capturing service quality and meaningful outcomes for citizens. Recent studies emphasize that citizen satisfaction and public perception are essential indicators that must be integrated into contemporary performance measurement systems. This study concludes that performance measurement and accountability are interdependent mechanisms that require strengthened organizational capacity, relevant indicators, and a culture of evidence-based improvement to enhance public service quality.

This study aims to analyze the concept of modern governance in public service delivery using a descriptive qualitative approach through an extensive literature review. Modern governance is understood as a governance model that emphasizes collaboration, transparency, adaptability, and the involvement of multiple actors within policy networks. The data were collected from books, journal articles, international institutional documents, and previous research relevant to governance and public administration. The findings indicate that modern governance significantly contributes to improving public service effectiveness, particularly through digital innovation, data integration, and collaborative mechanisms between government institutions and citizens. Several case studies—such as public service innovations in Surabaya, Surakarta, and various village administrations—demonstrate that this model can accelerate service processes and enhance public satisfaction. However, the implementation of modern governance still faces challenges, including limited resources, rigid bureaucratic culture, low public participation, and the inconsistent application of good governance principles. This study concludes that modern governance holds substantial potential to strengthen the quality of public services in Indonesia, yet requires strong governmental commitment, technological readiness, and active community involvement to be effectively implemented.

This study aims to analyze the influence of policy effectiveness and efficiency on public trust and the use of the Trans Siginjai public transportation system in Jambi City. The research background stems from the low public interest in using Trans Siginjai services since its operation in 2017, as reflected in the relatively small number of daily passengers. This research employs a quantitative method with an explanatory approach. Primary data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents determined using the Slovin formula, while secondary data were obtained from official documents and local media publications. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that both effectiveness and efficiency have a positive and significant effect on public trust, while trust significantly influences the level of Trans Siginjai usage. These findings emphasize that the success of public transportation policy depends not only on operational efficiency but also on the government’s ability to build public trust through consistent and high-quality service delivery.

The implementation of management information systems is a crucial instrument for improving the effectiveness of performance and service quality in local government agencies. The digital transformation driven by national policy requires local governments to manage data and information in an integrated, accurate, and timely manner. However, in practice, the implementation of management information systems still faces various obstacles, both in terms of human resources, technological infrastructure, and organizational policy support. This study aims to analyze the implementation of management information systems in local government agencies and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors that influence it. The research method used is a qualitative approach through a literature review of national journals and relevant scientific papers published between 2021 and 2025. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to obtain a comprehensive picture of the implementation patterns of management information systems in local government. The analysis results indicate that management information systems contribute positively to improving the effectiveness of organizational performance and the quality of public services when supported by competent personnel, available infrastructure, and leadership commitment. Conversely, weak coordination, limited human resources, and resistance to change are the main factors hindering implementation. This research is expected to serve as evaluation material and a reference for local governments in optimizing the implementation of management information systems on a sustainable basis.

Efficient and integrated public transportation services are a strategic need in sustainable urban development. The Surabaya City Government through the Transportation Department initiated the Wira-Wiri Feeder service on the Bratang-Pasar Turi route (FD07) as a feeder mode that connects densely active areas in the east and west of the city. This study aims to evaluate the implementation and performance of FD07 services using the public policy evaluation framework of William N. Dunn (2003) which includes the dimensions of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, justice, responsiveness, and policy accuracy. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the implementation of FD07 services has been running according to operational procedures with an average of 651 passengers per day, supported by field supervision and the Surabaya Integrated Urban Transport System (SIUTS) digital system. However, there are still obstacles in the form of limited fleet numbers, non-professional drivers, limitations of senior mechanics, and inadequate system development budgets. Dunn's six-dimensional evaluation shows that the effectiveness and efficiency of the service are in the medium category, with the main challenges being the accuracy of schedules and the accessibility of bus stop facilities for people with disabilities. This study concludes that improving the quality of human resources, adding fleets, strengthening digital systems, and massive public socialization are strategic steps to realize effective, inclusive, and sustainable feeder services in the city of Surabaya.

Doctors play a crucial role in determining the quality of healthcare services and in upholding the right to health as guaranteed by the constitution and international human rights frameworks. Despite this essential role, medical practice continues to encounter significant challenges, including disparities in medical education quality, inadequate competency assessment mechanisms, and limited integration of professional ethics, discipline, and scientific standards within the health legal system. These issues create risks to patient safety and undermine public trust in medical services. This research analyzes the urgency of health law reform to ensure physician competence and proposes an integration model that unites ethics, discipline, and scientific foundations as the core pillars for equitable and welfare-oriented medical professional governance. Using a normative legal research method, this study adopts legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Primary and secondary legal materials are examined qualitatively through doctrinal studies, normative analysis, and comparisons with governance practices of the medical profession in other countries. The study finds that health law reform should prioritize strengthening regulations on competency standards, transparent certification and periodic recertification systems, as well as integrated professional oversight that aligns ethics, discipline, and legal accountability. The proposed integration model serves as a framework to ensure that every physician maintains measurable competence, adheres to professional ethics, and upholds clear legal responsibilities in clinical practice. Reforming health law through such integration is a strategic step to enhance medical service quality, reinforce patient protection, and advance global justice and welfare.

Total Quality Management (TQM) in education has become an important issue in line with increasing societal demands for quality educational services and student satisfaction. Improving educational quality not only depends on the curriculum but also on the effective implementation of quality management principles in educational institutions, including secondary schools, universities, and Islamic boarding schools.

After screening and selecting based on relevance and focus on customer satisfaction, 5 main articles were analyzed in depth. The review revealed three main trends: (1) implementation of integrated quality management enhances service quality and student satisfaction; (2) leadership and curriculum management are key factors for success; and (3) continuous evaluation strategies and staff competency development promote stakeholder satisfaction. In conclusion, systematic quality management in education positively impacts customer satisfaction, and further research is needed to conduct comparative studies across institutions and to explore the integration of digital quality management systems.

Posyandu, as a form of community-based health efforts, plays a crucial role in improving maternal and child health. However, its implementation in the Mutiara Community Health Center (Puskesmas Mutiara) in Asahan Regency still faces various challenges, such as low cadre capacity, suboptimal service quality, and limited community participation. This community service activity aims to strengthen cadre capacity through Posyandu revitalization as an effort to improve the quality of basic health services. A total of 63 Posyandu cadres participated in the activities, which were implemented through counseling, education, and coaching using revised service standard guidelines. This program was implemented through four stages: preparation, implementation, analysis of results, and evaluation. Improvement in cadre knowledge was measured using pretests and posttests. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge of cadres, as seen in the change in assessment categories from the majority being in the "poor" category during the pretest to "sufficient" and "good" in the posttest. This indicates that the education and coaching provided were effective in improving cadres' understanding and skills. Increasing cadre capacity is expected to improve the quality of Posyandu services, increase public trust, and support efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality in the Mutiara Community Health Center's work area. Cross-sector collaboration and ongoing mentoring are needed to maintain the sustainability of Posyandu revitalization.

Improving the quality of education has become a crucial issue in the era of globalization, marked by increasing competition between institutions and public expectations for superior educational services. Integrated Quality Management (TQM) emerges as a strategic approach to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of various educational stakeholders. This study aims to review the development of studies related to TQM implementation in education through a qualitative literature review. Data were collected from scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 using Google Scholar and Publish or Perish with the keywords "TQM implementation in education." From the initial 30 articles, five of the most relevant main articles were selected. The analysis revealed three main themes: (a) the application of TQM to strengthen institutional resilience, (b) the integration of Islamic values ​​in quality management, and (c) the challenges and opportunities of TQM in vocational education. This study concluded that the stakeholder satisfaction dimension remains underexplored and requires further empirical research.

Mental disorders constitute a significant public health issue that necessitates family support in daily caregiving processes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family knowledge levels and their ability to care for family members with mental disorders at the Neglasari Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Tangerang City. This quantitative research employed a cross-sectional design and involved 45 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on knowledge (Guttman scale) and caregiving ability (Likert scale), and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods through the chi-square test. The findings revealed that 51.1% of families had low levels of knowledge, while 40% were assessed as unable to provide adequate care. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between family knowledge and caregiving ability (p = 0.009). These findings suggest that family health literacy plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of care for individuals with mental disorders. The implementation of family psychoeducation programs in primary healthcare settings is therefore essential to improve both knowledge and caregiving skills within home-based care. This study contributes to the development of community-based mental health services and provides a foundation for further research on educational interventions and family support systems.

This study explores the implementation of an electronic Human Resource Management System (e-SDM) in the Gubeng sub-district of Surabaya to optimize civil servant (PNS) leave management. The primary focus is on assessing how digitalization improves efficiency, transparency, accountability, and service quality in human resource administration, particularly in leave processing. Traditionally, manual procedures required 7-14 days to approve leave requests, involved multiple steps, manual calculations, and were prone to errors, delays, and lack of transparency. The introduction of the e-SDM system significantly reduces processing time to approximately one day, enabling online submission, real-time monitoring, and electronic approval accessible anytime and anywhere via smartphones. The system automatically calculates leaves balances and prevents over-application, ensuring data accuracy and reducing misuse. Besides operational efficiency, the system enhances transparency by providing accessible real-time status updates, creating an audit trail for each decision, and making the process auditable and accountable. Despite these advantages, challenges such as user resistance, digital literacy, infrastructure issues, and system integration remain. This research employs descriptive-analytical methods, combining interviews, observations, and documentation, to analyze the effectiveness of e-SDM implementation. The findings indicate that digitalization has streamlined leave management, minimized administrative burdens, and improved data accuracy. Moreover, it fosters a fairer and more transparent work environment, reinforcing good governance principles and supporting Surabaya's vision to become a smart city. The research underscores the importance of technological adaptation within bureaucratic reforms and offers strategic recommendations for further system improvements. Overall, the successful adoption of e-SDM in Gubeng serves as a model for digital transformation in public service delivery, contributing to more efficient, transparent, and accountable governance in local government institutions.
