The implications of this study emphasize the need to increase the utilization of regional potential and revenue management so that financial targets can be achieved optimally, so that public services and regional development can run more effectively and sustainably.

Candikusuma Beach in Bali has experienced significant erosion since 2009, threatening public facilities, including a mosque in Candikusuma village. This issue is critical as it affects a coastal fishing community. To mitigate the erosion, a revetment structure using concrete block armor is proposed. This revetment aims to protect the coastal cliff from wave forces and prevent further erosion. The planning process begins with analyzing bathymetric and topographic data to assess land and sea conditions. Tidal analysis determines key water elevations, while wind data is used to calculate maximum and average wind speeds and directions. Wave hindcasting, based on wind data and effective fetch length, provides estimates of wave height and period. Shoreline changes are evaluated by comparing satellite imagery from 2003 and bathymetric surveys from 2012, revealing an average shoreline retreat of 21.70 meters over nine years. The design of the revetment includes a crest elevation of +3.70 meters MSL, constructed on a base at -0.5 meters MSL. The concrete foundation extends to a depth of -1.5 meters MSL. Hindcasting results show maximum wave heights of 1.21 to 1.50 meters from the southwest, with an average wave height of 0.01 to 0.30 meters from the south. The design wave height for a 25-year return period is 1.37 meters with a period of 4.58 seconds, resulting in a wave height of 1.31 meters at a depth of 2 meters. The estimated budget for the 200-meter-long revetment is Rp. 7,778,174,000.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plays a crucial role in combating corruption in Indonesia. This institution was established to address various corruption cases involving public officials, with the aim of increasing transparency, accountability, and justice in government administration. However, KPK faces numerous challenges in carrying out its duties, such as revisions to laws that limit its authority and obstacles in coordination with other law enforcement agencies. The factors causing corruption in Indonesia are complex, including weak oversight, a permissive culture towards corruption, and lack of transparency in state budget management. KPK not only focuses on taking action against corruption perpetrators but also strives to recover state losses through asset confiscation mechanisms. Despite this, KPK's effectiveness in combating corruption is often hindered by both internal and external challenges. Therefore, it is important to continuously strengthen coordination among law enforcement agencies and encourage legal reforms to enhance this institution. With stronger commitment from all parties, corruption eradication in Indonesia can be more effective, leading to a clean government free from corruption practices.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder collaboration in the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program in Bunut District, Pelalawan Regency. The PTSL program as a government effort to provide legal certainty over land ownership requires cooperation from various stakeholders in its implementation. With a qualitative approach and case study design, this study uses the collaborative governance framework from Emerson et al. (2012) to analyze three main dimensions of collaboration: principled engagement, shared motivation, and capacity for joint action. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 27 informants, participant observation, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that multi-stakeholder collaboration in the implementation of PTSL in Bunut District shows varying effectiveness in various dimensions. In the principled engagement dimension, collaboration is quite effective in the aspects of discovery and definition, but is still limited in the aspects of deliberation and determination. In the shared motivation dimension, there are limitations in building mutual trust and understanding between the community and technical agencies. Meanwhile, in the capacity for joint action dimension, there are strengths in the aspects of procedural arrangements and leadership, but significant limitations in the aspects of knowledge and resources. Supporting factors for collaboration include political commitment, community awareness, the role of traditional leaders, effective communication platforms, and academic involvement. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in interests between stakeholders, limited technical capacity at the village level, communication and coordination problems, historical land complexity, and budget constraints. The study recommends strategies to increase the effectiveness of collaboration through strengthening multi-stakeholder forum institutions, developing technical capacity, increasing transparency and accountability, developing effective conflict resolution mechanisms, strengthening the role of village governments, and allocating adequate resources. The research findings contribute to the development of collaborative governance theory in the Indonesian context, especially in rural areas with unique socio-cultural characteristics.
