The effectiveness of Village Fund management is an essential indicator of good village governance in achieving accountable financial management and improving community welfare. However, its implementation continues to face various challenges, particularly regarding financial transparency and the competence of village officials. This study aims to examine the influence of transparency and the competence of village officials on the effectiveness of Village Fund management in Blubuk Village, Losari District, Brebes Regency. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 30 respondents, consisting of all village government officials, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings indicate that transparency has a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of Village Fund management. Likewise, the competence of village officials also has a positive and significant influence on the effectiveness of Village Fund management. Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly affect the effectiveness of Village Fund management, with an adjusted coefficient of determination of 88.8%, indicating that most of the variation in management effectiveness is explained by transparency and the competence of village officials. These findings imply that strengthening financial transparency and enhancing the capacity of village officials are essential strategies for improving effective, transparent, accountable, and sustainable Village Fund management.

Optimalisasi EDMS disertai penguatan SOP dan peningkatan kapasitas pegawai menjadi solusi strategis yang direkomendasikan.

Financial distress has become a critical issue for companies operating in highly competitive and capital-intensive industries, making effective corporate governance and the efficient utilization of intangible resources increasingly important for ensuring long-term financial sustainability. This study aims to examine the effect of Good Corporate Governance on Financial Distress and to investigate the mediating role of Intellectual Capital in this relationship. The research employs a quantitative explanatory approach using panel data from 23 energy and mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period, resulting in 92 firm-year observations. Secondary data obtained from annual reports and financial statements were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, panel regression analysis, and mediation analysis. The findings indicate that Good Corporate Governance has a significant negative effect on Financial Distress, suggesting that stronger governance practices improve financial stability and reduce the likelihood of financial difficulties. Intellectual Capital also demonstrates a significant negative effect on Financial Distress and partially mediates the relationship between Good Corporate Governance and Financial Distress. These findings imply that effective governance combined with the strategic management of intellectual resources enhances organizational resilience and supports sustainable corporate performance. The study contributes to the literature by integrating governance quality and intellectual capital into a single framework for explaining financial distress and provides practical insights for managers, investors, and policymakers in strengthening corporate sustainability.

Internship programs represent one of the implementations of the Kampus Berdampak policy aimed at enhancing students’ competencies, work experience, and readiness to enter the professional workforce. The success of such programs is highly dependent on effective governance through the application of the management functions of Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC). This study aims to analyze the implementation of POAC functions in the governance of student internship programs conducted outside Universitas Bina Darma. The research was carried out at the Kampus Berdampak Service Center of Universitas Bina Darma using a quantitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation involving 23 students participating in off-campus internship programs. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics based on the mean scores of each research indicator. The findings indicate that the implementation of POAC management functions in internship governance was categorized as very good, with an overall mean score of 4.29. The planning variable achieved the highest mean score (4.39), followed by organizing (4.30), actuating (4.27), and controlling (4.21). These results demonstrate that the internship program has been managed systematically and effectively. Nevertheless, monitoring and follow-up mechanisms require further improvement to support a more optimal and sustainable implementation of the program.

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a national priority program aimed at improving students’ nutritional status as part of efforts to enhance the quality of human resources. The success of this program is determined not only by nutritional fulfillment but also by the quality of governance in its implementation. This study aims to analyze the application of Good Governance principles in the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and document analysis involving students, parents, teachers, and personnel from the Jemur Wonosari 1 Nutrition Program Service Unit (SPPG). Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program has reflected most Good Governance principles, particularly in terms of regulatory compliance, equitable service access, implementation effectiveness, and stakeholder coordination. However, improvements are still needed in beneficiary participation, information transparency, evaluation mechanisms, and program feedback systems. These findings provide important implications for strengthening the governance of the Free Nutritious Meal Program to become more participatory, transparent, accountable, and sustainable.

The governance of sand and gravel mining requires an integrated assessment of technical planning, occupational safety, environmental control, reclamation, and regulatory compliance. This study evaluated the governance of CV. Ria Bersaudara, a sand and gravel mining company located in Pasar Surulangun, Rawas Ulu District, Musi Rawas Utara Regency, using the Good Mining Practice framework. The study used a descriptive evaluative approach based on field observation, document review, indicative resource estimation, equipment productivity analysis, occupational safety and environmental risk assessment, and compliance mapping. The results show that the company has a basic legal foundation through an exploration mining permit covering 12.5 ha; however, several governance components require improvement. The indicative prospective area was approximately 2.50 ha, with an effective follow-up area of 1.80 ha and an estimated indicative resource of 21,600 m³ or 35,640 tons. Productivity analysis indicated that excavator capacity reached about 61 m³/hour, while one dump truck only transported about 10.3 m³/hour, creating a haulage bottleneck if the truck fleet is insufficient. Safety implementation was also not optimal, with personal protective equipment compliance estimated at only 55%. The study recommends validating permit documents, strengthening technical exploration data, improving drainage and sediment control, enforcing safety procedures, implementing progressive reclamation, and establishing daily operational records.

However, challenges such as digital inequality, cyber-security risks, infrastructural limitations, and privacy concerns continue to affect the effectiveness of digital democracy in India

The purpose of this community service activity was to improve the financial accountability of cooperatives by developing a PERSUS on the KPUD Kieskendo in Panunggalan Village, Pulokulon District, Grobogan Regency. The activity was conducted through a workshop and mentoring session involving the cooperative's management and supervisory board. It began with a presentation on the importance of financial accountability, good cooperative governance, and the implementation of SAK EP. The identification results indicated that the cooperative lacked a written accounting policy for internal oversight, financial reporting, and transaction recording. Next, the community service team drafted a PERSUS, which regulates financial reporting, cash and bank management, loan receivables, the formation of CKPN, internal supervision, related party transactions, and fraud prevention. To align the policy with the cooperative's operational needs, discussions on the draft were conducted through participatory, article-by-article discussions. The results of the activity indicated that the management and supervisory board had a better understanding of the benefits of accounting policies for increasing transparency and accountability in cooperative management. It is hoped that the PERSUS will serve as an official guideline for creating more professional, transparent, and sustainable cooperative governance.

This study aims to analyze the political culture of the community in supporting the implementation of social assistance programs in Rantau Indah Village, Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to understand community political culture through cognitive, affective, and evaluative orientations toward social assistance programs. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving village officials, RT/RW leaders, and social assistance beneficiaries. The findings indicate that community political culture plays an important role in supporting the implementation of social assistance programs. In the cognitive aspect, most people understand the existence and objectives of social assistance, although some still have limited understanding of beneficiary criteria. In the affective aspect, the community shows trust in village officials despite perceptions of inequality in aid distribution. Meanwhile, the evaluative aspect reflects community participation in supervision and feedback. Overall, community political culture tends to be participatory in supporting social assistance implementation. The study also reveals that transparent communication, active community involvement, and accountability of village authorities contribute significantly to strengthening public trust and improving the effectiveness of program implementation. Community participation in monitoring and evaluating the distribution process helps minimize potential conflicts and encourages greater transparency. These findings suggest that strengthening political awareness, enhancing public access to information, and promoting participatory governance are essential to ensure that social assistance programs are implemented fairly, effectively, and sustainably while improving community welfare and reinforcing good local governance practices.

This study analyzes the abuse of prosecutorial authority from a normative juridical perspective within constitutional law and its implications for the rule of law and good governance in Indonesia. It focuses on the concept of abuse of power (détournement de pouvoir) in assessing prosecutorial actions and examines power relations in law enforcement that may affect objectivity and fairness in criminal justice. The research uses a normative juridical method with statute and case approaches. Primary legal materials include the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 16 of 2004 on the Prosecutor’s Office as amended by Law No. 11 of 2021, and Law No. 30 of 2014 on Government Administration, supported by doctrines and jurisprudence. Secondary materials include books and journals on constitutional and administrative law. The findings show that prosecutorial authority as dominus litis is limited by legality, good governance principles, and due process of law. Abuse of authority may occur not only through procedural violations but also through deviations from its intended purpose, leading to formally lawful but substantively unjust actions. Power relations may also create institutional imbalance in law enforcement. Therefore, stronger supervisory mechanisms are needed to ensure prosecutorial authority aligns with the rule of law and good governance.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of good governance principles in digital population administration services in Medan Marelan Subdistrict from the perspective of Administrative Law. The background of this research is based on the importance of digital transformation in public services through the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) to enhance transparency, accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency. However, in practice, several obstacles are still encountered, such as limited infrastructure, network disruptions, and limited human resources. This research employs an empirical legal research method with both empirical and statutory approaches. Data were collected through field research, including interviews with subdistrict officials and the community, as well as library research involving laws, regulations, and relevant literature. The data were analyzed qualitatively to examine the conformity between the implementation of services and the principles of good governance and general principles of good administration (AUPB). The results show that the implementation of good governance principles in digital population services in Medan Marelan Subdistrict has not been fully optimal. This is indicated by challenges in information transparency, system effectiveness, and limitations in human resources and infrastructure. Nevertheless, digital services have provided convenience for the community in accessing population administration services. In conclusion, improvements in human resources quality, technological infrastructure, and the strengthening of supervision and evaluation mechanisms are necessary to achieve public services that align with good governance principles.

This study aims to analyze the influence of accountability and transparency in government financial reports on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 in Indonesia. SDGs 2 focuses on efforts to eradicate hunger, increase food security, and improve public nutrition. The study used a quantitative approach with panel data in 34 provinces in Indonesia during the 2021–2022 period. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 68 research observations. The research data were sourced from the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), and official local government websites related to the publication of regional financial reports. The accountability variable was measured using the BPK audit opinion on the LKPD, while transparency was measured based on the openness of the publication of seven components of the regional government financial report. Data analysis was performed using the Common Effect Model (CEM) with a robust standard error approach. The results showed that accountability has a positive and significant effect on the achievement of SDGs 2 with a coefficient value of 3.919 and a significance level of 0.000. Transparency also has a positive and significant effect on the achievement of SDGs 2 with a coefficient value of 2.415 and a significance level of 0.000. In addition, accountability and transparency simultaneously proved to have a significant effect on the achievement of SDGs 2. This finding indicates that the implementation of good governance through increased accountability and transparency of financial reports can support the effectiveness of food security and sustainable development programs in Indonesia.

This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the legal reasoning used by judges in the Administrative Court (PTUN) in annulling State Administrative Decisions (KTUN), as well as to examine the legal implications for the parties involved and the overall system of government administration. This research employs a normative juridical method with three approaches: statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The analysis was conducted qualitatively by studying reference books and reviewing court decisions. The study shows that the annulment of KTUN by PTUN judges is based on three important factors, namely lack of authority (ultra vires), procedural defects, and substantive defects in the decision. In addition, violations of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB), such as the principles of legal certainty, prudence, and proportionality, also constitute important considerations for judges. In the judicial process, judges not only consider the formal aspects of the law, but also take into account substantive justice in order to protect citizens’ rights from improper governmental actions. The implications of the annulment of KTUN include the restoration of the plaintiff’s rights through the process of restitutio in integrum, the obligation of administrative officials to revoke or correct the issued decision, as well as the potential impact on third parties involved in the decision. In general, the annulment of KTUN serves as a legal control mechanism over government administration while also encouraging the realization of good and transparent governance within a state governed by the rule of law.

In addition, services at the Samarinda MPP have implemented several principles of good governance such as effectiveness, efficiency, responsiveness, transparency, and equality of service. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that public services at the Samarinda MPP have been running well and are able to provide effective, humanistic services, and are oriented towards public satisfaction.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of information technology in improving the quality of public services. The research method used is library research by collecting and analyzing various scientific sources, such as journals, books, research articles, and government documents related to information technology and public services. The results show that the implementation of information technology through online service systems, official websites, and administrative information systems is able to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of public services. Information technology also helps accelerate administrative processes, reduce data management errors, increase employee productivity, and strengthen communication between the government and the community. In addition, the implementation of information technology supports the realization of e-government and good governance through increased accountability and information transparency. However, the implementation of information technology still faces several challenges, such as limited human resources, inadequate technological infrastructure, unstable internet connections, and the low ability of some communities to use digital services. Therefore, it is necessary to improve employee competencies, develop technological infrastructure, and conduct public socialization to optimize the implementation of information technology in public services. Overall, information technology has proven to be a strategic solution in creating modern, effective, efficient, transparent, and community-oriented public services.

This study is intended to examine the pivotal function of youth-based organizations as a communication link between society and local governments, along with assessing how the delivery of these aspirations influences the quality of both the policy formulation process and its results at the regional level. A qualitative approach with descriptive analysis was applied in this research, where data were gathered through literature studies, document review, and direct observation of relevant social occurrences. The results highlight that youth institutions play a crucial part in gathering, sorting, and communicating various public demands, necessities, and expectations to the authorities in charge. Their active engagement contributes significantly to positive outcomes, such as enhancing the precision, suitability, and responsiveness of the policies drafted, while ensuring these regulations correspond with real conditions and community requirements. Moreover, involving youth groups reinforces policy validity and fosters greater transparency and accountability within local government administration. This research concludes that maximizing the function of youth organizations is a necessity to realize good governance and public policies that prioritize the common good and public interest.  

The issuance of electronic identity cards (e-KTP) represents one of the most fundamental public services administered by the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil). Nevertheless, various forms of alleged maladministration in this service delivery continue to be unresolved in many regions, including Gorontalo Regency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) in e-KTP issuance practices at Disdukcapil Gorontalo Regency and to identify forms of alleged maladministration. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, primary data were drawn from the 2025 Maladministration Assessment Report of the Ombudsman RI Gorontalo Province Representative and official institutional documents, supplemented by secondary data from scientific journals, legislation, and verified news sources. Findings reveal that Gorontalo Regency obtained a final score of 64.79 with a 'Moderate Quality Without Maladministration' rating the lowest among four evaluated local governments. Three critical areas were identified: (1) non-compliance with service completion time standards, (2) unofficial administrative burdens including out-of-office form purchases, contravening the principle of proportionality, and (3) low public trust levels reflecting accountability deficits. This study contributes by elaborating the legal dimensions of AUPB as a more structured maladministration evaluation framework compared to prior studies focused primarily on public service management dimensions.
