This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-government in improving the quality of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Gresik Regency. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis focuses on the stages of e-government implementation, covering the dimensions of presence, interaction, and transaction in population administration services. The results indicate that the implementation of e-government at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Gresik Regency has been carried out through the provision of digital information media, such as an official website and online-based population administration service applications. In the presence dimension, the local government provides various information related to population administration services, including requirements, procedures, service times, and the types of services available to the public. In the interaction dimension, the digital service system allows the public to communicate with the service office by submitting questions, complaints, or requests for information online. Meanwhile, in the transaction dimension, the public can submit requests for population documents, such as Family Cards, birth certificates, and other documents, through the digital service system. The implementation of e-government has positively impacted the efficiency, transparency, and ease of access to population administration services for the public. Therefore, the utilization of information technology in public services can serve as an important strategy for improving the quality of population administration services in local government.

This study aims to analyze the practice of collaborative governance in the innovation of population administration services through the integrated marriage legalization (isbat nikah) program implemented by the Civil Registration and Population Office (Dukcapil) in collaboration with the Religious Court. The program represents a governmental initiative to provide legal certainty for unregistered marriages while improving citizens’ access to legal identity documents. This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis to examine inter-organizational collaboration in public service delivery. The analytical framework refers to the collaborative governance model developed by Chris Ansell and Alison Gash, focusing on three key dimensions: starting conditions, institutional design, and facilitative leadership. The findings indicate that the initial conditions of collaboration were driven by the high number of unregistered marriages and the institutional limitations of each agency in addressing the issue independently. In terms of institutional design, the collaboration is supported by formal cooperation agreements, clear division of roles, and integrated service mechanisms among participating institutions. Furthermore, facilitative leadership plays a crucial role in fostering coordination, communication, and shared commitment among stakeholders. The study concludes that collaborative governance in the integrated marriage legalization service program enhances the effectiveness of population administration services while providing legal certainty for citizens.

The digital transformation of public administration represents a critical pathway toward modernizing governance, enhancing service delivery, and improving transparency in Indonesian government agencies. This study examines the current state of digital transformation initiatives across various levels of government in Indonesia, identifying key challenges and opportunities in implementing digital technologies within bureaucratic structures. Through a convergent parallel mixed-methods design combining surveys of 245 government officials from 32 agencies and in-depth interviews with 28 digital transformation leaders, this research reveals that while Indonesian government agencies have made significant progress, substantial barriers remain including limited digital infrastructure in remote regions, resistance to organizational change, insufficient digital literacy among civil servants, and inadequate legal frameworks. The overall mean maturity score was 2.87 (SD = 0.74), placing the average agency in the 'developing' category, with only 6% reaching the 'optimizing' level. The study identifies critical success factors: strong leadership commitment (β = 0.38, p < 0.001), citizen-centric design, comprehensive change management, and effective public-private partnerships. Findings indicate that successful digital transformation requires not merely technological adoption but fundamental organizational restructuring and cultural shifts toward data-driven decision-making and collaborative governance. Policy recommendations address digital infrastructure investment, human capital development, governance reform, and shared platform utilization. This research contributes to theoretical understanding of digital government in developing nations and provides practical guidance for policymakers navigating the complexities of public sector digitalization.

The use of population data plays a crucial role in improving the quality of public services and supporting data-driven policymaking. The Population and Civil Registration Service (Disdukcapil), as the agency responsible for population administration, is responsible for providing accurate, up-to-date, and integrated population data. This study aims to analyze collaborative patterns of population data utilization and public service innovation at the Serang City Population and Civil Registration Service. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, documentation, and literature studies from various relevant academic sources. The results show that collaborative patterns of population data utilization are carried out through the integration of population information systems, data exchange between government agencies, and the development of information technology-based services. Public service innovations carried out include the digitization of population administration services, the use of online service information systems, and improving the quality of digital technology-based services. This collaborative data utilization can increase the effectiveness of public services and accelerate the population administration process for the community. Therefore, strengthening inter-agency coordination, improving the quality of human resources, and developing information technology infrastructure are important factors in supporting the successful utilization of population data and public service innovation.

The effectiveness of public sector organizations in delivering quality services and achieving their mandates depends critically on how they manage their human resources. This study examines the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices and organizational performance in Indonesian public sector organizations. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 312 public sector managers and HR professionals across 45 government agencies through surveys and 32 in-depth interviews. The research investigates five key SHRM dimensions: strategic recruitment and selection, performance management systems, employee development and training, compensation and rewards, and employee engagement. Findings reveal significant positive relationships between SHRM practices and multiple performance indicators including service quality, operational efficiency, employee productivity, and organizational innovation. Regression analysis demonstrates that SHRM practices collectively explain 47.3% of variance in organizational performance scores. Qualitative data illuminate implementation challenges including limited HR professional capacity, rigid civil service regulations, political interference, and resistance to performance-based management. The study identifies critical success factors such as top management commitment, alignment between HR strategy and organizational strategy, investment in HR analytics capabilities, and cultural transformation toward merit-based practices. Results indicate that high-performing public organizations distinguish themselves through systematic talent management, data-driven HR decision-making, continuous learning cultures, and stronger linkages between individual performance and organizational outcomes. This research contributes empirical evidence on SHRM effectiveness in public sector contexts and provides actionable recommendations for HR practitioners and policymakers seeking to leverage human capital for improved public service delivery.

This study concludes that the application of E-Governance in population administration services in Gresik Regency has made a positive contribution to improving the quality of public services through the utilization of information technology.

Public service quality serves as a crucial metric for assessing how well the government meets the needs and expectations of the community. Within public administration, the effectiveness of public services indicates the government's capability to deliver governance that is open, responsible, and focused on the citizens. In Indonesia, one tool for gauging public service effectiveness is the Community Satisfaction Index (Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat/IKM). This research seeks to examine how community satisfaction in public services is measured by identifying various service components and the approach used to compute the IKM. A descriptive qualitative research method is employed, utilizing a literature review. Information was gathered from books, academic journals, government regulations, and other scholarly materials relevant to public service quality and community satisfaction. The results reveal that the IKM measurement system offers a comprehensive framework for assessing the performance of public services based on several aspects, including service requirements, processes, completion time, costs, the skills and conduct of service personnel, and available facilities. Additionally, the findings demonstrate that enhancements in service quality, transparency, and the responsiveness of public organizations greatly affect community satisfaction levels. As a result, ongoing assessments of public services through the IKM framework are vital for improving governance effectiveness, boosting service delivery, and reinforcing public confidence in government agencies.

The transformation of public services has become a key priority in public administration reform, driven by growing public demands for government services that are more responsive, transparent, and oriented toward the public interest. In this context, the concept of Public Value Creation has emerged as an approach that emphasizes the creation of social value as the primary objective of public service delivery. This study aims to analyze the role of Public Value Creation as a conceptual framework in public service transformation oriented toward the public interest. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, examining various relevant academic sources on public value theory, contemporary public administration, and public service transformation. The findings indicate that Public Value Creation plays a role in driving a paradigm shift in public service from an administrative bureaucratic orientation toward service focused on creating social benefits for the community. This approach also strengthens a community-centered service orientation, fosters collaboration between the government and various stakeholders, and supports public service innovation, including through the utilization of digital technology. The implications of this research suggest that the concept of public value can serve as a conceptual foundation for the government in designing more inclusive public service policies and innovations

Based on Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning the Government of Aceh, the Government of Aceh has been granted special authority to manage and regulate various governmental affairs, including land administration. This authority is specifically outlined in Article 16 paragraph (1) letter k, which empowers the Government of Aceh to handle land affairs that span across regencies and municipalities. This power is further reinforced by Presidential Regulation Number 23 of 2015, which transformed the Regional Office of the National Land Agency of Aceh into the Aceh Land Agency, and Qanun Aceh Number 13 of 2019 regarding the Establishment and Organizational Structure of Aceh Regional Apparatus, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Aceh Land Office. This office is responsible for managing and certifying the Aceh Government’s land assets. This study aims to assess the implementation of the Aceh Land Office’s authority in certifying government land assets, the institutional synergy with the National Land Agency, and the challenges faced in ensuring legal certainty over these assets. The research employs an empirical juridical method with a sociological approach. Data were gathered from interviews with officials from the Aceh Land Office, the Aceh Financial Management Agency, and the National Land Agency, as well as secondary data from legal documents, books, and academic resources. The study found that while the certification process is legally supported, challenges such as incomplete ownership documents and limited resources hinder effective implementation. Measures, such as re-tracing and remapping land assets, are being taken to address these challenges.

Public service plays a fundamental role in fulfilling citizens’ rights and needs within modern governance systems. The increasing complexity of social, economic, and technological changes has encouraged the transformation of public administration paradigms. This study aims to analyze the evolution of public service paradigms from Old Public Administration to Network Governance, identify the key characteristics of each paradigm, and explain the shift in values and the role of the state in public service delivery. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by examining various academic sources related to public administration theories and public service governance. The analysis was conducted through content analysis and comparative analysis to identify conceptual developments and paradigm differences in public administration. The results indicate that public service paradigms have evolved from hierarchical and rule-based governance toward more collaborative and participatory governance models. Old Public Administration emphasizes bureaucratic hierarchy and administrative control, New Public Management focuses on efficiency and performance-based management, while New Public Service highlights citizen participation and democratic values. The most recent paradigm, Network Governance, promotes collaboration among government, private sector, and civil society in addressing complex public issues. These findings suggest that contemporary public administration increasingly adopts a hybrid governance approach that integrates elements of various paradigms to enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of public service delivery.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of bureaucratic reform in improve the administrative performance of the Sorong City Regional Secretariat. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 30 government apparatus respondents using the Likert scale and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants and analyzed using thematic analysis and data triangulation. The results of the study show that the implementation of bureaucratic reform is positively related to the organization's administrative performance. The variables of policy communication, apparatus resources, and bureaucratic structure show a fairly strong correlation with administrative performance, with bureaucratic structure exhibiting the strongest relationship. Qualitative findings also show that bureaucratic reform has been carried out through simplifying procedures, updating SOPs, digitizing administration, and strengthening the performance reporting system. Theoretically, this research strengthens policy implementation theory and public organizational performance theory, which emphasize the importance of policy communication, human resource capacity, and the effectiveness of organizational structures in improving bureaucratic performance. However, this study has limitations in scope, as it is confined to a single organizational unit and a relatively small number of respondents. Therefore, further research is suggested to expand the research object in several regional apparatus organizations in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the implementation of bureaucratic reform at the local government level.

Innovative service programs are still unable to ensure that all administrative rights related to civil registration are properly fulfilled, especially for vulnerable groups such as people with mental disorders and persons with disabilities. This study aims to examine the role of the Sidoarjo District Population and Civil Registration Office in fulfilling the administrative rights of the community, identify factors that facilitate and hinder this process, and evaluate how inclusive public service policies are implemented. This study uses a qualitative approach to understand how inclusive public services are implemented. The study shows that there are obstacles in procedures and administration, particularly in the initial online application process, and that there are no clear SOP documents regulating services for persons with disabilities. In addition, the manner of imposing official sanctions in the implementation of the Peduli Dilan Program is not yet clear. Nevertheless, the Population and Civil Registration Office of Sidoarjo Regency has made efforts to provide inclusive services and focus on fulfilling rights. This study shows that the role of the Population and Civil Registration Office of Sidoarjo Regency is already functioning, but it still needs to be strengthened in terms of resources, data collection systems, and service coverage expansion so that the administrative rights of vulnerable groups can be fulfilled more evenly and sustainably.

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women remains a health problem in Indonesia, including in Sleman District. CED can be overcome through the provision of supplementary foods (PMT) based on local foods that are high in energy and protein. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of local PMT on upper arm circumference (UAC) in pregnant women with CED. The study design used an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling, involving 47 pregnant women with CEM who received local PMT for at least 90 days in 2024 at the Cangkringan and Sleman Community Health Centers. The secondary data in this study were the results of LILA measurements before and after the provision of local PMT. The Wilcoxon Signed Test was used to analyze the difference in LILA. The results showed that the median LILA before PMT administration was 22 cm and after PMT administration was 23.6 cm, with an increase of 1.6 cm. There was a significant difference between LILA before and after local PMT administration (p = 0.000). After local PMT administration, 51.06% of pregnant women had LILA > 23.5 cm. It is hoped that further research can explore the intake of pregnant women with KEK during local PMT administration as additional data to examine the effectiveness of local PMT on LILA in pregnant women with KEK.

The development of information technology has encouraged transformation in the administration and implementation of the judicial system in Indonesia, including within civil procedural law. The civil justice process, which has traditionally relied on manual procedures as regulated in the HIR and RBg, faces several limitations such as lengthy procedures, relatively high costs, and limited access for justice seekers. To address these challenges, the Supreme Court introduced the e-court system as part of judicial modernization through the digitalization of case administration and court proceedings. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of e-court in realizing procedural justice within civil procedural law and to examine the relationship between the classical procedural provisions contained in HIR/RBg and the newer regulations governing electronic court administration. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches by examining legal provisions and the concept of procedural justice within the judicial system. The findings indicate that the implementation of e-court reflects a paradigm shift in civil procedural law from a formalistic system toward a more digital and administrative system that improves efficiency in case administration and accelerates dispute resolution. However, this transformation also raises questions regarding the harmonization of legal norms between the regulations governing electronic court systems and the traditional civil procedural rules. Nevertheless, the implementation of e-court has positive implications for the realization of the principles of simple, fast, and low-cost justice while also improving public access to more effective and efficient judicial services.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Village Fund (Dana Desa/DD) Program in Tote Village, Bolangitang Barat Subdistrict, North Bolaang Mongondow Regency. The study focuses on the implementation of the Village Fund policy as viewed from several aspects, namely (a) organizational capacity, (b) information dissemination, (c) community support, and (d) the distribution of village potential This study employed a qualitative, descriptive research approach Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews with village officials and community members, supported by observation and documentation The results showed that the implementation of the Village Fund Program in Tote Village has not been fully optimal This is indicated by the lunited organizational capacity of village apparatus, uneven dissemination of information to the community, and relatively low community participation and support in several Village Fund programs. In addition, the distribution of village potential in program implementation has not been entirely well-targeted. Nevertheless, the Village Fund Program has contributed positively to infrastructure development and the economic empowerinent of the village community. It can be concluded that improving the implementation of the Village Fund Program requires strengthening village officials capacity, enhancing transparency and information dissemination, and actively involving the community in the planning, implementation, and supervision of the program.
