The role of the village government in improving the quality of administrative services at the village office is part of an effort to realize professional public services that focus on community satisfaction. The village government acts both as a policymaker and a service provider, responsible for delivering an orderly, fast, and transparent administrative system. This research was conducted at the Tenilo Village Office in Tilamuta District. This study aims to determine the extent of the village government's role in improving the quality of administrative services at the Tenilo Village Office, Tilamuta District, Boalemo Regency. This study uses a qualitative research approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The data sources consist of both primary and secondary data. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative analysis, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings at the Tenilo Village Office in Tilamuta District indicate that the government has played an active role in enhancing the quality of administrative services. However, there are still several inhibiting factors in improving service quality.

Sweden maintained its neutrality in response to its history, including during the Napoleonic wars, by adopting “neutrality” as its official policy in 1834. This neutrality was upheld during both World Wars to protect trade interests. During the Cold War, Sweden chose the path of peaceful diplomacy and rejected military alliances. But Sweden experienced concerns over the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Russia's intervention in Crimea. In May 2022, Sweden eventually applied for NATO membership in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. This research aims to understand the reasons behind Sweden's decision to join NATO. The factors behind Sweden's decision to join NATO are analyzed using qualitative research methods and through the lens of Threat Perception concept. This research discusses the factors behind Sweden’s decision to join NATO through five dimensions from the Threat Perception concept: structural, geopolitical, historical, socio-cultural, and economic. This research indicates that these five dimensions influenced Sweden's decision to join NATO. Firstly, Swedish ministers and political parties in Sweden played a role in the decision-making process. Secondly, Sweden's geographical location and the rising activities in the Baltic Sea also influenced its decision. Thirdly, Sweden's historical relationship with NATO compared to its relationship with Russia also influenced the decision. Fourthly, the ethnic, cultural, and religious composition of people in Sweden, along with policymaker adoption, are believed to have played a significant role in Sweden's foreign policy formation. Finally, the economic benefits of joining NATO were also considered by Sweden.Swedia telah menjaga netralitas sebagai respons terhadap sejarahnya, termasuk perang Napoleon, dengan mengadopsi kebijakan resmi pada tahun 1834. Netralitas ini dipertahankan selama kedua Perang Dunia untuk melindungi kepentingan perdagangan. Selama Perang Dingin, Swedia memilih jalur diplomasi damai dan menolak aliansi militer. Namun, Swedia mengalami kekhawatiran atas konflik Rusia-Ukraina dan intervensi Rusia di Crimea. Pada tahun 2022, Swedia akhirnya mengajukan keanggotaan NATO sebagai respons atas invasi Rusia ke Ukraina pada bulan Februari 2022. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami alasan di balik keputusan Swedia untuk bergabung dengan NATO. Faktor-faktor yang mendorong keputusan Swedia untuk bergabung dengan NATO dianalisis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan melalui lensa konsep “persepsi ancaman”. Studi ini membahas faktor-faktor tersebut melalui lima dimensi: struktural, geopolitik, sejarah, sosial-budaya, dan ekonomi. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelima dimensi tersebut memengaruhi keputusan Swedia untuk bergabung dengan NATO. Pertama, Menteri dan partai politik di Swedia berperan dalam proses pengambilan keputusan Swedia bergabung dengan NATO. Kedua, lokasi geografis Swedia dan aktivitasnya di Laut Baltik juga memengaruhi keputusan tersebut. Ketiga, hubungan historis Swedia dengan NATO dibandingkan dengan hubungannya dengan Rusia juga memengaruhi keputusan tersebut. Keempat, komposisi etnis, budaya, dan agama di Swedia, bersama dengan adopsi kebijakan oleh pembuat kebijakan, diyakini memainkan peran penting dalam pembentukan kebijakan luar negeri Swedia. Terakhir, manfaat ekonomi dari bergabung dengan NATO juga dipertimbangkan oleh Swedia.
