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  

Effective communication is a key element in modern public administration, as it serves not only as a means of conveying information but also as a strategic instrument for strengthening inter-agency coordination, increasing public participation, and building public trust in the government. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method, reviewing scientific journals, academic books, and official policy documents to analyze the role of communication in the bureaucracy, identify barriers that hinder its effectiveness, and propose relevant strengthening strategies in the digital era. The results of the study indicate that clear, consistent, and open communication acts as a catalyst in every stage of public policy from formulation, implementation, to evaluation, while simultaneously increasing the government's legitimacy in the eyes of the public. However, several obstacles remain, including the hierarchical organizational structure of the bureaucracy, a closed communication culture, limited communication competency among civil servants, and political intervention that often distorts policy messages. Furthermore, the development of digital technology provides significant opportunities through e-government, social media, and public service applications to expand the reach of communication, but at the same time presents challenges in the form of low digital literacy among civil servants and the public and the risk of spreading false information. To address these issues, recommended communication strengthening strategies include increasing the capacity of civil servants through communication skills training, developing information technology-based communication systems, establishing a more open and participatory organizational culture, and actively involving the public in every stage of public policy. Thus, this study confirms that effective communication is the main foundation of bureaucratic reform, because without inclusive, adaptive, and technology-based communication, public administration will not be able to meet the increasingly dynamic, complex, and critical demands of the public on the quality of government services.

The development of information technology plays an important role in improving the quality of public services, including the processes of public complaints and grant submissions. Currently, these services at the Welfare Section of Situbondo Regency are still carried out manually, which often causes recurring problems such as delayed verification, lack of transparency in decision-making, and difficulties in data archiving and retrieval. These challenges not only slow down administrative processes but also reduce public trust in government services. Therefore, the design of a web-based information system is considered crucial to support the implementation of e-government and to ensure more effective, efficient, and accountable services. This study aims to design an integrated web-based information system that facilitates both public complaints and grant submissions within one platform. The research method applied is Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD), which emphasizes systematic analysis and modeling using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The analysis phase includes identifying system requirements, business process modeling, and defining functional and non-functional needs. The design phase produces various models such as business process design, input-output forms, application architecture using a three-tier structure, UML diagrams (use case, activity, class, and sequence diagrams), and database modeling. The results of this research are expected to provide a system design that improves the speed of service delivery, enhances transparency through real-time status tracking, reduces the risk of data loss by implementing digital archiving, and increases efficiency in the verification process. Overall, the proposed system design contributes to strengthening good governance practices in Situbondo Regency and serves as a reference for similar developments in other local government institutions.

Digital transformation in the public sector has become a strategic agenda to improve the efficiency, transparency, and quality of government services, including in regional revenue management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital transformation in the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda: Badan Pendapatan Daerah) of East Java Province, especially in the Gresik Technical Implementation Unit (UPT: Unit Pelaksana Teknis), as well as its impact on administrative efficiency, transparency, and increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD: Pendapatan Asli Daerah). This study uses a non-empirical qualitative approach with a literature study method, which involves the analysis of secondary data from scientific journals, policy documents, government performance reports, and community digitalization indicators such as the Indonesian Digital Society Index (IMDI: Indeks Masyarakat Digital Indonesia). The results show that digital transformation through e-payment systems and web-based administration has significantly accelerated the service process, improved taxpayer compliance, and reduced revenue leakage. The receipt of PAD through digital channels increased by 60% in one year, while service efficiency increased by reducing administrative process time from three days to one day. The implementation of this digital transformation is also influenced by the readiness of infrastructure, apparatus competence, and community digital literacy, as described in the theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Dynamic Capabilities, and TOE Framework. Despite positive achievements, challenges such as digital skills gaps, resistance to change, and system security issues are still obstacles in optimizing digital transformation. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development  of e-governance literature  and digital public policy practices at the local level. These findings also provide concrete recommendations for other regions to replicate good practices of digital transformation that have succeeded in improving regional financial performance. Thus, digital transformation is not only a technological instrument, but also a governance strategy that requires synergy between technology, organizations, and society

This study examines the effectiveness of e-government implementation in improving public service quality in Makassar City Government.

This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection through interviews with government officials, surveys of 200 citizens, and direct observation of e-government services. The findings reveal that Makassar's e-government initiatives have significantly improved service delivery efficiency, with 75% of users reporting increased satisfaction in public services. However, challenges persist, including digital literacy gaps among citizens and occasional technical infrastructure issues. The study identifies key success factors such as strong leadership commitment, adequate IT infrastructure, and regular system updates. These findings contribute to the growing knowledge on e-government implementation in developing regions and provide practical recommendations for local governments seeking to enhance their digital service delivery systems.

The Regional Government, in supporting education reform for better quality and optimality within its units of authority, established the Regional Public Service Agency Program (BLUD) which can be understood as a system implemented by a technical implementation unit of regional agencies/agencies in providing services to the community, and has flexibility in financial management as an exception to regional financial management provisions in general. In line with the Directorate of Vocational High School Development (SMK) in seeking SMK as a school with BLUD status, this can support the management of goods and services whose superior products can manage the production process in the Teaching Factory Program (TEFA) more flexibly without violating regulations (Fazli, 2022). Implementing the Teaching Factory (TEFA) in the form of goods and services for vocational school students is expected to align with the objectives of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Regional Government Services, namely good management to support the BLUD Vocational School Program in schools. In conducting this research the author used a descriptive qualitative research method approach.

This study aims to identify the main dimensions in the e-GovQual model that are most relevant for use in evaluating e-Government services in Indonesia. The study was conducted through a systematic literature review method on ten national scientific articles published between 2018 and 2023. The articles were reviewed based on the use of e-GovQual dimensions in the context of implementing digital-based public services. The results of the analysis show five main dimensions that are most often used, namely Efficiency, Reliability, Responsiveness, Citizen Support, and Security. These findings are expected to be the basis for standardizing e-GovQual dimensions and contributing to the development of a more consistent and comprehensive digital public service quality evaluation framework.

The level of tax compliance has been a concern of researchers and governments for decades. Various efforts have been made by the government in order to increase taxpayer compliance including the use of information and communication technology in service delivery (e-government) but have not yielded optimal results. Various studies and research related to taxpayer compliance and its relationship with e-government have also been carried out but are still focused on e-government services regardless of the level of readiness (e-readiness) of the government itself as a service provider (government e-readiness) or from the community side as service users (citizen e-readiness). Writing this article aims to build a new hypothesis with the variable level of readiness (e-readiness) as a variable that affects government services which will ultimately increase the level of taxpayer compliance. Previous research or relevant research is used to strengthen the theory and phenomenon of the relationship or influence between variables.

At present, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is not only happening in the industrial world but also in government agencies that apply technology to fulfill service needs to the community. The government is expected to answer all community needs by providing the best services based on information technology. One of them is the Jambi City Public Complaint Information System Applications or Online-Based Jambi City Community Complaint Application (SiKesal) is a form of information technology-based service application for incoming public complaints dominated by infrastructure, roads, drainage, cleanliness, street lights, clean water, and parking problems and about damage to be repaired.
