Barriers of Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study in The Alley Garden Program in Makassar City

Abstract

This study aims to identify barriers experienced in public sector innovation with a case study of the Alley Garden (LONGGAR) program innovation in Makassar. The measurement indicators used include several inhibiting factors according to Mulgan and Albury. The data collection method uses a qualitative description method through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The technique of determining the informant is done by purposive sampling. Data analysis was obtained through the stages of data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results illustrate that the government must make budget transparency, LONGGAR Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and optimization of the involvement of youth and community leaders. Through identifying these obstacles, the government can use this information and minimize the failure to apply Lorong Garden innovations in Makassar City and other regional contexts.
