: The era of discourse marked by the use of technology in various fields of life has changed people's habitual patterns from manual to digital. Of course, this has positive and negative impacts on human life. Positive because everything can be done very easily, cheaply, and quickly, and because it can be accessed from anywhere. The downside is dependence on electricity supply and cellular networks. Based on the results of the research, it was found that the Central Government, as the development agent, has attempted to launch OSS with various types of public services under one roof. Here, the synergy and commitment of the regional government are needed to create a competitive, innovative, and creative environment, as well as the need for massive socialization so that all stakeholders understand and can use this OSS properly. With this OSS-based e-government, the existence of MSMEs as the main pillar of the economy at the local, national, and international levels will be more resilient and strong with full transparency, efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability.

: The government has implemented ethical obligations for state civil apparatus (ASN) clearly and unequivocally with the issuance of Government Regulation Number 42 of 2004 concerning the Guidance of Corps Spirit and Civil Servant Order. However, in practice, there are still ASN administrative ethics that are not in accordance with the provisions that have been set. The results of the researcher's initial observations show that the state civil apparatus in Cisalak District, Subang Regency, is considered to have not yet met the expectations of the community in terms of the quality of its human resources. This study aims to answer the question of the extent to which the application of administrative ethics can improve the quality of ASN in the Cisalak sub-district, Subang Regency. The study used qualitative methods with descriptive analysis. The results of the study indicate that the application of ethics in the administration of public administration, which is evident in the attitudes and behavior of the apparatus in carrying out their duties and responsibilities as a service, loyalty, sensitivity, equality, and courtesy in the state civil apparatus in Cisolok District, Subang Regency, has been running effectively.

: One of the promises of change through bureaucratic reform is the implementation of great services for the benefit of society, but disparities sometimes lead to conflicts in their execution. This took place in Tasikmalaya Regency, where, on the one hand, the bureaucracy is energetically adopting bureaucratic reform as a form of self-improvement, but, on the other hand, a decline in the culture of service and weak employee integrity are obstructing the bureaucracy's growth. The goal of this essay is to determine what factors help and what factors hinder the implementation of bureaucratic reform in the Tasikmalaya Regency Government, as well as what factors contribute to less-than-ideal evaluation results. In this study, we used qualitative research techniques. Observation, notes, and interviews were all parts of the data collection process. Collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, analyzing data, triangulating data, and generating conclusions are all data analysis techniques that can be used to determine the reliability of data and arrive at the truth. According to this paper's findings, the Tasikmalaya Regency government's bureaucratic reform has not moved significantly in a more optimal direction in its quest to accomplish good governance; normative difficulties pertaining to the quality and capacity of apparatus resources persist. When it comes to making significant changes and updates to the governance system, effective governance necessitates increased dedication and a mental shift on the part of leadership and all levels of employees.

: Government performance and regional competitiveness can be increased through regional innovation involving various stakeholders. The existence of stakeholders is adjusted to their roles and responsibilities so that the results achieved can run optimally. This study aims to identify the stakeholders involved and analyze their roles based on power and interest. This study uses a qualitative approach with stakeholder analysis techniques. The results of the stakeholder analysis show grouping in two contexts, namely, primary stakeholders, namely, the central and regional governments, as well as secondary stakeholders, consisting of the community, academics, entrepreneurs, and the mass media. To support success in implementing regional innovation, an analysis of the role of each stakeholder is carried out. The results of the analysis show that stakeholders are divided into four categories based on power and interest: subjects, key players, crowd, and contest setters. The division of roles and responsibilities among each stakeholder can accelerate the process of implementing regional innovations in Indragiri Hilir Regency.

: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global health problem and causes various problems in the social, educational, and economic fields. One form of effort made by the government in efforts to deal with the effects of COVID-19 in the village is the implementation of the Direct Cash Assistance Program, sourced from the Village Fund budget, but in its implementation there are still many problems related to effectiveness. In measuring effectiveness, three factors are used, including the accuracy of timing, whether the results of the analysis show that it is effective, and the accuracy in selecting the beneficiary families. The method used in this descriptive qualitative research is research that aims to describe and explain events and phenomena that occur in the field and present data in a systematic, factual, and accurate manner regarding the facts or phenomena that occur in the field. The results showed that the Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance Program had been running in accordance with the procedures set by the government and the accuracy of the targets, but there were still discrepancies in the information so that some people who should have received the assistance did not receive it. Meanwhile, obstacles to the distribution of Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance, including access to some villages, are difficult to reach, resulting in delays in distribution.

: Food is an excellent means of creating an image and spreading influence. This study aims to explore Taiwanese street food as nostalgia and gastrodiplomacy in contemporary Indonesian society. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection through in-depth interviews and a literature study. The results showed that: first, food nostalgia tries to connect the past and the present. The feeling expressed by the Taiwanese diaspora on food will greatly depend on their previous lived experiences and homeland memories in the past, both personally and historically, with their present living circumstances in Indonesia. Second, gastrodiplomacy connects the relationship between the present and the future. The popularity of Taiwanese food in Indonesia is increasing, especially through boba and chicken Shilin consumption. This has a positive impact on building Taiwan's image. From food nostalgia and gastro diplomacy, we can learn about the past, present, and future relationships between people and nations.

: An organization's success is directly proportional to the quality of its leadership. When it comes to adapting to new circumstances and staying on top of advancements in an organization, particularly one that deals with the public or is run by the government, the position of leader is essential. Leaders in a company play an essential role in attempts to improve the quality of service, beginning with management, expanding the resources of the apparatus that delivers services, and utilizing technology. These are the three pillars of the improvement process. The purpose of this research is to investigate the role that leadership plays in the evolution of public organizations. This investigation takes a qualitative approach and makes use of descriptive research tools. According to the findings of the study, a leader is more likely to be successful in developing a public organization if he or she is able to motivate subordinates, is competent in both skills and emotions, and upholds the professional ethics that guide the leader's profession.

: This study aims to analyze the use of the Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS) as an instrument of the paradiplomacy of Seoul, South Korea, in promoting the city’s tourism to the global public on economic and cultural aspects. Seoul's paradiplomacy in promoting tourism is motivated by efforts to attract global public attention and to encourage foreign tourists to make Seoul a tourist destination. For that purpose, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has collaborated with various K-pop artists, such as BTS, in its paradiplomacy practice. This study uses transgovernmentalism, foreign relations, paradiplomacy, and art as theories and qualitative research as a method by taking data directly and indirectly. Direct data are obtained from interviews with several informants, while indirect data are obtained from studies of relevant documentation and literature. This study finds that BTS becomes an instrument of Seoul's paradiplomacy in tourism promotion. The researchers also discovered that the Seoul Metropolitan Government has restructured the Seoul Tourism Organization from a public-private partnership and government-invested institution to one that can increase the city's competitiveness in tourism and Meetings, Incentive Tours, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE), as well as contribute to Seoul's economic development by revitalizing tourism-related industries.
