The implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has become a key priority of the Semarang City Government's policy in achieving equitable and sustainable health insurance. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the UHC program in Semarang City, focusing on three main aspects: financing, accessibility, and the quality of health services. Additionally, this study examines the effectiveness of the Pangeran Diponegoro Program as a local innovation to accelerate universal coverage achievement. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, with data collected through surveys of 100 respondents, in-depth interviews with policymakers and service providers, and analysis of regional policy documents. The findings show that although UHC membership coverage has reached 99.92%, challenges remain in accessibility and service quality, particularly in the suburban areas and vulnerable populations. The SERVQUAL analysis of service quality shows high scores for empathy and responsiveness but lower scores for reliability and service assurance. The Pangeran Diponegoro Program has proven effective in reaching unregistered groups, but still faces coordination issues between sectors and limited human resources. The study recommends strengthening collaborative governance, improving data verification systems, and developing community-based service innovations to ensure the sustainability of UHC.

Cahaya Amal Soleh Foundation is a social institution that focuses on community service through various institutional programs engaged in social, education, and community empowerment. However, a number of operational staff who do not have a financial background have difficulty in understanding and managing financial reports effectively. This study aims to assist staff through the On-the-Job Learning and Development Program (OLDP) themed Finance for Non-Finance with the SIAPIK (Islamic Boarding School and Social Charity Accounting Information System) application approach. The method used is a qualitative approach with a participatory model, involving direct training, transaction recording simulations, and evaluation of participant understanding. The results of the assistance showed a significant increase in staff understanding of basic accounting principles, transaction recording, and SIAPIK-based financial reporting. These findings indicate that a practical approach through an application based on the foundation's needs can improve the financial capacity of non-accounting staff. The implications of this activity reinforce the importance of digitizing the financial system of social organizations and the need for ongoing training for human resources so that accountable and transparent financial governance can be realized sustainably. In addition, the results of this program highlight that the integration of technology and participatory training can overcome barriers in financial literacy among non-finance staff. The SIAPIK application provides an accessible interface and structured modules that are easy to understand, thereby reducing the complexity usually associated with financial management. Staff who previously felt unconfident in processing financial transactions gradually gained competence and independence in applying accounting procedures. The training also fostered collaborative learning, where participants supported each other in solving case simulations, enhancing not only technical knowledge but also teamwork and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the foundation’s management expressed that the program positively contributed to institutional performance by ensuring more reliable and transparent financial reporting.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has encouraged the implementation of Electronic-Based Government Sistems (SPBE) aimed at improving the quality of public services to become more transparent, accountable, and efficient. In line with this, the Department of Communication and Informatics (Diskominfo) of Central Java Province developed the Integrated Secretariat and Supporting Unit Sistem (Si-SEKRUP) application as a digital innovation specifically designed to support internal administrative management. The presence of this application represents a concrete step in bureaucratic digital transformation, particularly in realizing administrative services that are fast, integrated, and oriented toward the principles of good governance. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Si-SEKRUP application in supporting digital-based administrative governance. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, utilizing secondary data obtained from literature, official reports, and public documents, with validation through data triangulation. The findings show that the implementation of Si-SEKRUP has significantly improved administrative efficiency, as reflected in the acceleration of document processing by up to 50%, the achievement of 100% digital documentation, and a substantial reduction in paper use that supports a paperless office sistem. Furthermore, the integration of digital and real-time asset monitoring has enhanced organizational transparency and accountability. The implementation of this application has not only provided technical benefits but has also fostered a shift in employee work culture toward more adaptive, collaborative, and productive practices in line with digital-era demands. These findings affirm that the success of bureaucratic digital transformation requires sustainable development, both in terms of technological infrastructure and human resource competencies, so that SPBE utilization can run optimally and deliver tangible value to public services.

This study examines the dynamics of urban politics in the policy of the Palembang City Government regarding the management of disorganized electrical cables. The problem of irregularly hanging cables, mixed with telecommunication lines, and often dangling too low poses safety risks, reduces the city’s aesthetics, and reflects weak governance of urban infrastructure. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, and documentation. The research informants consisted of representatives from the Palembang City Government, PLN (the state electricity company), telecommunication providers, and affected communities. The findings indicate that cable management policy is a concrete effort by the government to create an orderly, safe, and modern urban spatial arrangement. The Palembang City Government seeks to reorganize the overhead cable networks while simultaneously planning the development of underground utility ducts as a long-term solution. However, the implementation of this policy faces several challenges, particularly conflicting interests among stakeholders: PLN emphasizes operational efficiency, telecommunication providers resist additional financial burdens, while the public demands quick action but shows limited participation. This study concludes that the issue of cable management is not merely technical but also represents an arena of urban political contestation among the state, the private sector, and society. Effective solutions require cross-sectoral coordination, strong regulatory frameworks, collaborative financing, and active community involvement. Through a comprehensive approach, cable management in Palembang City has the potential to enhance public safety, improve urban aesthetics, and strengthen government legitimacy in sustainable urban governance.

This research investigates the integration of renewable energy systems within coastal conservation areas through public-private partnership (PPP) frameworks to achieve dual objectives of environmental sustainability and economic development. The study addresses the critical challenge of balancing energy infrastructure development with ecological preservation in sensitive coastal ecosystems, where biodiversity and community livelihoods are often at risk due to increasing industrial and urban pressures. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining case study analysis, stakeholder interviews, and economic modeling, to generate a comprehensive perspective on the opportunities and constraints of renewable energy deployment in these regions. Case studies highlight successful international practices of PPPs that have facilitated renewable energy projects while safeguarding marine and coastal ecosystems. Stakeholder interviews with government agencies, local communities, and private sector representatives reveal the importance of transparent governance, shared responsibility, and inclusive participation in ensuring long-term project sustainability. Economic modeling further demonstrates that well-structured PPP models can reduce implementation costs by 30–40% while adhering to biodiversity conservation standards and regulatory frameworks. Findings underscore that renewable energy projects, when embedded within collaborative governance structures, not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions but also create employment opportunities, stimulate local economies, and enhance community resilience. This study contributes to the sustainable development literature by providing an actionable framework for integrating renewable energy infrastructure in environmentally sensitive areas through PPPs. The proposed framework emphasizes adaptive policy design, capacity building, and equitable benefit-sharing, offering practical insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers seeking to reconcile energy needs with ecological protection in coastal regions.

Pejengkolan Village, Padureso District, Kebumen Regency, as a developing village, faces challenges in planning, managing, and implementing participatory and sustainable development programs. These challenges include limited knowledge of village officials, a lack of understanding of village development regulations, and weak coordination between the village government and village institutions and the community. This research/activity aims to strengthen the capacity of village government officials by increasing knowledge, skills, and understanding of the role of village institutions, particularly the Village Consultative Body (BPD) and Village Community Institutions (LKD), in the development planning process. Capacity building for local government officials is considered a crucial step to ensure sustainable development at the village level. The method used is a participatory approach through training, focus group discussions, and technical assistance. This participatory approach not only improves technical skills but also strengthens collaborative values ​​among stakeholders. The results of the activity demonstrated an increase in village officials' understanding of village development regulations, their ability to develop inclusive development plans, and the establishment of synergy between the village government, the Village Consultative Body (BPD), the Village Funds (LKD), and the community. Furthermore, this activity demonstrated a shift in mindset among village officials toward more transparent, accountable, and responsive governance to community needs. Good governance at the village level is a fundamental element to achieving long-term community welfare. This effort is expected to serve as a foundation for strengthening village governance, which is able to address the dynamic needs of the community and encourage sustainable village development.

This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of public administration and policy implementation in Indonesia from 2009 to 2025, following the PRISMA framework. Drawing on 44 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus, the review examines the impact of decentralization, digital transformation, and governance innovation on policy outcomes and administrative reform. The findings indicate that decentralization has enabled local experimentation and improved service responsiveness. However, it has also resulted in uneven policy capacity and governance disparities across regions. Sectoral implementation, especially in health, welfare, and food safety, remains inconsistent, largely due to institutional fragmentation, political interference, and capacity limitations. Although efforts to implement New Public Management (NPM) principles and digital tools have been made, bureaucratic inertia, coordination failures, and limited flexibility hinder reform progress. The rise of e-government and agile governance shows promise in enhancing efficiency and public participation. However, these advancements are still hampered by digital divides and regulatory uncertainties. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed critical vulnerabilities in policy execution, underscoring the need for resilient, adaptive governance models capable of responding to unforeseen crises. This review contributes to the understanding of Indonesia’s evolving administrative landscape and offers several practical recommendations. These include strengthening intergovernmental coordination, investing in local administrative capacity, fostering participatory governance, and institutionalizing agile, collaborative practices. The study highlights the importance of integrated, inclusive, and data-driven governance to improve public sector performance and ensure democratic accountability. By focusing on these areas, Indonesia can better address the challenges of public administration and policy implementation, driving long-term sustainable development and effective governance in the country.

Manado City is highly vulnerable to hydrometeorological disasters due to its geographical conditions, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, and the intensifying impacts of climate change. These risks underline the importance of effective disaster mitigation strategies that go beyond government intervention and involve active participation from communities and non-governmental organizations. In this context, collaboration among various actors becomes a crucial foundation for developing an adaptive and participatory disaster governance system. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of actor collaboration in disaster mitigation efforts in Manado City, with particular emphasis on patterns of interaction, role distribution, and structural as well as cultural barriers that influence the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder synergy. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research relies on secondary data gathered from official documents, government policy reports, and relevant academic publications. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and relational dynamics among stakeholders. The findings reveal that although strong driving factors exist—such as a high level of disaster risk, increasing public awareness, and the availability of institutional frameworks—collaboration remains largely procedural and government-dominated, with limited engagement from non-government actors. Challenges such as weak trust among stakeholders, insufficient substantive dialogue, and the absence of an integrated disaster information system continue to hinder the realization of effective collaborative practices. The study concludes by highlighting the urgency of adopting a collaborative governance model that emphasizes equality, mutual trust, and meaningful participation. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on disaster governance by providing insights into actor relations in a disaster-prone urban context. Practically, it proposes an adaptive collaboration framework that can be replicated in other cities facing similar disaster vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening resilience and community preparedness.

This training is proof that adopting digital technology in schools can strengthen administrative governance comprehensively and sustainably.

The circulation of narcotics in Tanjungpinang City has increased from 2019 to 2023, despite various programs implemented by relevant agencies. Based on the data, there were 422 suspects apprehended, with 395 suspects acting as distributors (dealers) and 27 suspects as users. The presence of two main institutions, the National Narcotics Agency of Tanjungpinang City and the Narcotics Crime Unit of Tanjungpinang City Police, has not yet been fully effective in reducing the rate of drug trafficking. This study aims to analyze the application of collaborative governance in combating drug trafficking in Tanjungpinang City, based on the theory of Schottle, Haghsheno, and Gehbauer (2014) with seven indicators: willingness to compromise, communication, commitment, mutual trust, transparency/information exchange, knowledge sharing, and willingness to take risks. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews and documentation. The research results indicate that willingness to compromise is reflected in cooperation such as joint investigations and coordination in handling suspects. Communication between agencies is conducted both formally and digitally, though not yet structured on a routine basis, it remains responsive. Commitment is demonstrated through Operation Antik, the BNNP prevention program, and the consistent and sustained participation of the DPC GANN. Mutual trust is built through open communication and recognition of each party's role. Transparency and information exchange are evident in the openness of data and access to information between agencies and the public, though technological challenges remain. Knowledge sharing is facilitated through contributions from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the police, and former offenders, fostering collective learning. Willingness to take risks is evident in the courage to adopt new approaches for innovation in drug eradication.

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the optimization of green open space (GOS)-based tourism object development at Panatapan Panyabungan Park, Mandailing Natal Regency. This area possesses high ecological and visual potential, yet its management remains suboptimal in terms of facilities, community participation, and institutional support. The study employs a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative methods using multiple linear regression analysis on 150 respondents, and qualitative methods through in-depth interviews with key informants. The results show that simul-taneously, the four independent variables—GOS quality (X1), tourism facilities and infrastructure (X2), community participation (X3), and local government support (X4)—significantly influence the optimization of tourism development (Y). However, partially, only X2 has a significant positive effect, while X1 and X3 have significant negative effects, and X4 has no significant effect. Qualitative findings reveal that the community is not involved in decision-making, and the local government has not demonstrated concrete intervention in managing the area. These findings suggest that the strategy for developing GOS-based tourism objects should emphasize improving basic facilities, establishing participatory governance, and strengthening the structural role of local governments. A collaborative and community-based approach is key to realizing a sustainable tourism area in environmental, social, and economic aspects.

Contemporary church organizations in Indonesia face a phenomenon of volatility characterized by fluctuations in congregation membership, persistent internal conflicts, external pressures from changing times, and a crisis of trust in its leaders. There is a significant gap between the theological idealism of servant leadership as taught in Mark 10:42-45 and the reality of leadership practices in the field, which often tend to be authoritarian, conflict-driven, and underserved. This study aims to analyze the application of the principle of servant leadership based on Mark 10:42-45 as a solution to face the challenge of the volatility of contemporary church organizations in Indonesia. The goal is to identify volatility challenges, analyze leadership practice gaps, and formulate effective servant leadership implementation models to restore trust and achieve sustainable congregation growth. This study uses a qualitative research method with a library research approach. Data from various literature sources were analyzed in depth to synthesize the theological concept of servant leadership with organizational management theory and the practical context of the church in Indonesia. The results of the study show that servant leadership is an effective solution to the volatility of the church. It was found that the main challenges in its implementation were hierarchical organizational culture and resistance to change. As a solution, this study formulates a model of servant leadership integration built on four pillars: strong spiritual foundations, adaptive leadership, collaborative governance, and continuous learning. The implementation of this model is through practical strategies such as transparency, empowerment of the congregation.

Key mediating factors include transparency in resource allocation (β = 0.445, p < 0.01), community participation in decision-making (β = 0.523, p < 0.001), and integrated monitoring systems (β = 0.398, p < 0.05). Effective collaborative governance enhances sustainable development program outcomes through improved accountability, resource efficiency, and stakeholder satisfaction. The findings suggest that formal collaboration frameworks and transparent financial reporting mechanisms are critical success factors.

The issue of prostitution in Yogyakarta, especially in the Bong Suwung area, reflects the complexity that involves social, economic, and legal aspects. Despite regulations, prostitution practices continue to increase, presenting challenges in law enforcement and individual protection. The process of relocating Bong Suwung by PT KAI faced protests from residents who felt they were not treated fairly. In this context, the application of the concept of Collaborative Governance is important, with collaboration between the DPRD, local governments, and the community to achieve more humane and equitable solutions. The DPRD plays a role as a mediator, accommodating the aspirations of the community and ensuring transparency in the relocation process. This research shows that success in addressing prostitution and relocation issues is highly dependent on the collaborative capabilities of various actors, as well as the application of Collaborative Governance principles to create responsive public policies and reduce potential conflicts

Program strategis nasional (PSN) in Indonesia public welfare through social, economic,environmental, and governance dimensions. Findings indicate that limiting truck operations during peak hours generally contributes to reduced traffic congestion, improved road safety, and lower levels of pollution and noise in residential areas. However, the effectiveness is constrained by weak enforcement, frequent rule violations by operators, and limited crosssector coordination. To enhance the policy's positive impact, this study recommends strengthening law enforcement, utilizing monitoring technologies, and developing a more integrated and participatory logistics system. When consistently and collaboratively implemented, the policy has significant potential to support the success of NSPs and improve community welfare.

West Sumatra Province, particularly Tanah Datar Regency, is one of Indonesia’s disaster-prone regions, recently affected by a cold lahar flood triggered by the volcanic activity of Mount Marapi. This disaster caused severe infrastructure damage and fatalities, posing significant challenges to the effectiveness of social aid distribution under emergency conditions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of adaptive governance principles in the distribution of social assistance by the Social Affairs Office of Tanah Datar Regency, focusing on four main pillars: collaboration, coordination, social capital development, and capacity building. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of 15 key informants from various stakeholders. The findings reveal that collaborative and coordinative practices have been functionally applied but remain largely informal and undocumented within a systematic framework. Community social capital played a critical role in supporting aid distribution, though it has yet to be fully institutionalized. Meanwhile, institutional and human resource capacity faces limitations, particularly in the use of information technology and preparedness for large-scale disasters. The study concludes that the application of adaptive governance in disaster management requires strengthened coordination structures, real-time information systems, and active community engagement across all governance processes. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to developing a more resilient, inclusive, and responsive model for post-disaster social aid distribution.

Stunting reduction remains a national development priority in Indonesia, requiring cross-sectoral and collaborative approaches. Grobogan Regency, as one of the priority regions, has demonstrated commitment through the establishment of Stunting Reduction Acceleration Teams (TPPS) and the implementation of eight convergence actions. However, the effectiveness of these policies remains limited due to weak inter-agency coordination, limited capacity at the village level, and suboptimal community and private sector involvement. This study employs a qualitative approach using frameworks of collaborative governance, implementation outcomes, and multi-level governance to analyze the implementation dynamics in Grobogan. Findings reveal that while program acceptability is relatively high at the administrative level, it lacks substantive understanding among local implementers. Appropriateness and feasibility are hindered by resource constraints and inadequate data integration across sectors. Community involvement, such as the Foster Parent for Stunting Children (BAAS) initiative, remains incidental and is not yet part of a structured collaborative system. Nonetheless, several villages like Harjowinangun and Ringinkidul have demonstrated good practices by integrating nutritional programs with local potentials. This study highlights the urgent need to strengthen institutional capacity, develop functional intersectoral communication forums, and enhance implementer competencies to ensure the achievement of the 14% stunting reduction target by 2024 in a sustainable and inclusive manner.

The Nganjuk Regency Government shows a commitment to strengthen the capacity of MSME actors through activities such as digital training. However, the challenges of digital transformation demand a more adaptive strategy. The omah away program is present as a regional innovation in accelerating the digitalization of MSMEs, in line with the national vision towards the smart economy and digital transformation targets announced in the RPJMN. Based on the theory of Dynamic Governance with 3 variables such as Thinking Ahead, Thinking Again, and Thinking Across, this omah away program offers digital training, business legality facilitation, and marketing through digital platforms. This study highlights how the away house becomes an integrative model that not only provides technical training, but also builds a collaborative ecosystem between the government, business actors, the private sector, communities, education and society. Despite the impact on increasing the participation of digital MSMEs and reducing the unemployment rate, obstacles such as low business legality and online marketing effectiveness are still found. Therefore, critical reflection and cross-actor collaboration are key to the sustainability of the program. These findings strengthen the relevance of Dynamic Governance theory in the context of local-based digital transformation, as well as support efforts to achieve smart economy in areas with growing potential such as Nganjuk Regency.

Climate change represents an urgent global crisis that demands immediate and collaborative action. In Indonesia, youth have emerged as crucial stakeholders in the implementation of climate change policies. This study explores the strategic role of young people in advancing climate action, focusing on their engagement through two major non-governmental organizations: WALHI (Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia) and Greenpeace Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative library research method, the study examines secondary sources, reports, and publications to assess how these organizations empower and mobilize youth in climate advocacy. The findings highlight that youth are not passive observers but active contributors to climate governance. Through educational campaigns, social media activism, public demonstrations, and grassroots initiatives, young individuals raise environmental awareness, promote sustainable practices, and exert social and political pressure on government institutions. Their participation fosters democratic engagement, enhances policy responsiveness, and encourages the inclusion of long-term environmental perspectives in national and regional development agendas. Furthermore, youth play a critical role in bridging scientific knowledge with community-based practices, often initiating innovative and context-sensitive solutions tailored to local environmental challenges. Their digital literacy and ability to build networks across diverse societal sectors amplify their effectiveness in shaping public discourse and influencing policy outcomes. This study concludes that empowering youth is fundamental to achieving meaningful and lasting climate action. Their involvement strengthens both mitigation and adaptation efforts, positioning them as key agents of change who are not only directly impacted by climate change but also committed to securing a more sustainable and just environmental future for Indonesia.
