The presence of public transportation (Trans Jogja and Friend Bus Jogja) is one of the solutions to overcome congestion and heavy traffic in Yogyakarta. However, in recent years, public transportation (Trans Jogja and Friend Bus Jogja) has had many problems, one of which is the lack of passenger numbers. It is because of these problems that occur in the field that the number of Trans Jogja passengers and Teman Bus Jogja is decreasing day by day. The purpose of this study is to find out the policies taken by the Yogyakarta Special Region government to increase and entice people to use public transportation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method that, as a whole, uses secondary data. This study found that there are four dimensions of service quality related to the Trans Jogja Minimum Service Standards: the tangibles dimension, the reliability dimension, the responsiveness dimension, and the assurance dimension. These four dimensions are running well and are in accordance with the applicable SPM, but these four dimensions need to be further improved. As for the factor that has reduced the interest of Trans Jogja users, namely the presence of online transportation services, Trans Jogja only operates at several predetermined points, and the operational time has also been determined. Unlike the case with online transportation, where online transportation is able to reach all areas in Yogyakarta and its operating hours are also flexible and in accordance with the wishes of prospective users.
公共交通的存在(日惹Trans Jogja和朋友巴士Jogja)是克服日惹拥堵和交通繁忙的解决方案之一。然而，近年来，公共交通(Trans Jogja和Friend Bus Jogja)出现了许多问题，其中之一是乘客数量不足。正是由于这些问题的出现，日惹横贯列车和日惹泰曼巴士的乘客数量日益减少。本研究的目的是找出日惹特区政府采取的政策，以增加和吸引人们使用公共交通工具。本研究采用定性描述性分析方法，总体上使用二手数据。本研究发现，与《日文最低服务标准》相关的服务质量有四个维度:有形维度、可靠性维度、响应性维度和保证维度。这四个维度运行良好，符合适用的SPM，但这四个维度需要进一步改进。对于在线交通服务的存在，降低了Trans Jogja用户兴趣的因素，Trans Jogja只在预定的几个点运营，运营时间也已经确定。与在线交通不同的是，在线交通能够到达日惹的所有地区，其运营时间也很灵活，可以根据潜在用户的意愿进行。

The present study aims to scrutinize the Indonesian Civil Service Police Unit (henceforth: Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja/CSPU) in enforcing local regulations. In enforcing the local regulations, the principle of “no punishment without representation” is applied to the formulation of criminal sanctions, while the principle of “no taxation without representation” is conducted to regional development funding. This study employs normative qualitative approach to obtain legal facts encountered by CSPU. The findings indicated that CSPU merely works as administrative officers with their insignificant roles. Furthermore, the contents of the criminal sanctions for regional development funding position it as an instrument to influence the perception of the regional communitydue to their lack of coordination in implementing the two principles. Furthermore, the CSPU is deemed to be restricted due to the absence of regulations that strengthen their duties to enforce the local regulations. Therefore, it can be inferred that the lack of support for legal products in enforcing local regulations is considered an obstacle for those CSPU to truly play their main role as investigators towards the violation of local regulations. Furthermore, the local government does not place more emphasis on the principles of criminal sanctions as well as the escorting of financial capital in regions.

The role of the Bretton Woods Institutions in Africa has been subjected to intense debate in the literature of International Relations. This is so particularly because of the implications of the Bretton Woods Institutions on the political and economic activities in Africa. The data for this study were collected from secondary sources such as textbooks and journal articles while content analysis was used to analyse the data collected. The "False Paradigm Model," propounded by Michael Todaro which is a variant of the Dependency theory, was used for this study. This study revealed mechanisms put in place by the Bretton Woods Institutions in its relationship with African states and it also undertook a critique of the Bretton woods institutional approach to Africa’s development using the false paradigm model. The study further revealed that in spite of experimenting with external development methods and initiatives by the Bretton Wood Institutions, African Economies have not advanced much in terms of development. It implies that African nations must turn within to find it rather than focusing on the Bretton Woods Institutions requirements.

The idea of the policy and innovation network in the context of post-disaster governance refers to a set of rules, legislation, regulations, and guidelines that offer guidance for the efforts of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of policies and innovation networks on post-disaster rehabilitation in a specific geographical region. The research methodology employed in this study is qualitative in nature. The present study employed a diverse range of research data obtained from interviews and disaster management report documents. These data were subsequently subjected to analysis applying the Nvivo12 plus software. The findings of the research suggest that the post-disaster rehabilitation network involves a range of components, specifically the public policy network which comprises the central government, regional governments, associated institutions, and civil society organisation. The local government of Palu City adopted policy changes that prioritised the implementation of a land acquisition and resettlement action plan in the context of post-disaster rehabilitation and construction efforts.

This study investigates the Indonesian government's strategies to safeguard its informal sector in Malaysia, which has experienced considerable human rights violations and exploitation. Such incidents breach both the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Indonesian migrant workers' protection. Utilizing the pro-people foreign policy theory and the citizen protection concept, this research explores the government's responses to these issues as a protective measure for its citizens. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data was gathered through library studies. The findings reveal that the Indonesian government, in its bid to protect indonesian women migrant workers in malaysia by 2022, has publicly criticized the Malaysian government, implemented a Moratorium, and pushed for immediate bilateral meetings between the two nations. Hence, the study concludes that these efforts have positively influenced the protection of indonesian women migrant workers in malaysia in 2022

This paper discusses the argumentative turn amongst farmers and the other different stakeholders in the case of land disputes, Kebumen, Central Java, Indonesia. While policy makers insisted that the land function conversion from agriculture and tourism to mining was needed to support local development as through the absorption of labors into employment sector, as well as to improve local people’s income, local farmers insisted that the conversion merely uprooting their ownership of land and let them back to periods where they were jobless and lack of source of income decades ago. This paper applied qualitative research supported with observation and interviews with parties involved in the case, to highlight the argumentative turn within land policy, which in the case of Kebumen leads to policy conflict. This paper identifies the elite-driven policy in the land dispute cases in Kebumen has led policy close to discussions with various stakeholders, which are necessary to be heard in the policy making. This finding highlights the idea that policy creates within itself politics that is in-line with the interest of the elites, and yet, resulted in the feedback loop, manifested through the strong resistance of the community.

The purpose of this study is to describe the strategy pursued by the Government of Thailand in collaboration with existing stakeholders in increasing the competitiveness of SMEs amidst the invasion of foreign manufacture-based products. The method used is observation and in-depth interviews at SME product canters, SME product marketing places in tourist destinations, and related parties. Observations were made for 5 years 2018-2023, however, in-depth observations were made in January-March 2023. The results of the analysis show that the competitiveness of SMEs in Thailand is very good due to support from universities, private businessmen (Ventura capital), the government: (innovation support organizations, and state-owned entrepreneurs), large companies in the form of CSR, and various parties who are very concerned about advancing SMEs. SMEs that already have high competitiveness with quality products, will be encouraged to move up to a class that is ready to export. Only SMEs that already have "four stars" are allowed to export because the quality of their products is beyond doubt and can even be proud of.

This research aims to find a model for implementing local government innovation in Pekanbaru City. One of the Innovation Public Service Mall innovations with the highest score is SMART PETAKU (Pekanbaru City Government Land Asset Management System) with a score of 820. However, there are still several innovations with the lowest score, one of which is the E-Archive with a score of 0. Using the theory of disruptive innovation ( Yu Hang, 2010), the basic design of this study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach from primary data sources obtained from in-depth interview techniques and secondary data, namely passive observation techniques. The research findings show that first, the success of the internal perspective is determined by the indicators of visionary and innovative local government head leadership, the right organizational structure with the establishment of a Public Service Mall, an organizational culture that is not separated from the pathology of democracy, and employee competencies that require development. Second, an external perspective determined by supervision from the Pekanbaru City DPRD, community participation, and appreciation factors that have a significant effect on the performance of the Pekanbaru City Government. Third, the marketing aspect is supported by the existence of a dynamic website from the content and information presented. Fourth is the technological perspective, where the Pekanbaru City Government through the Public Service Mall applies the E-Gov concept with application designs for requests and complaints. The conclusion of the study found the IEMT model with internal, external, market, and technology perspective dimensions. Recommendations for further research are collaborative governance studies in service innovation with the private sector at Public Service Malls which are still disproportionate.

This article explores the decline of democracy in contemporary Indonesia during the Jokowi years. Jokowi's lukewarm commitment to democratic norms and illiberal attitude in running the government have made him an essentially conditional democrat, who is heavily influenced by the old political elite within a transitional political framework. As the result, Indonesia under the Jokowi's administration is entrapped with the old political practices, particularly oligarchic rules and political manipulation which awaken a new autocratization episode in its contemporary political history. This article is based on interviews with eight key informants and supported with numerous secondary data from various sources. The article highlights three important points: first, the decline of democracy was caused by the old oligarchic, and cartelism practices. Second, Jokowi's superficial commitment to democracy essentially makes him a conditional democrat, rather than a progressive liberal. Third, Jokowi's leadership led to a new style of autocratization and authoritarianism in Indonesia which was influenced by the manoeuvring of the old political elite.

In recent decades, there was a fierce debate about whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accurately describe people’s welfare. This manuscript aims to prove, an impressive GDP does not mean that people live on welfare. This topic is important to be discussed, simply, because it shows the actual condition of the people during their impressive GDP growth, besides, theoretically, it also sheds light on the correlation between GDP and real welfare. Taking China between 1980-2014, when China experienced the highest GDP growth as a case study, this investigation used secondary data provided by previous empirical research documents and international organizations’ data such as UNDP, WHO, World Bank and other relevant sources. The data was analyzed by comparative research method for comparing China’s GDP rate with China’s achievement on five aspects of alternative economic development gauges: inequality rates, life expectancy, health quality, education attainment, and environmental impacts. This investigation figured out that the impressive of China’s GDP has no direct correlation to Chinese real welfare. Along with the impression of China’s GDP, the Chinese must deal with inequality, the low government budget for human resources development, and environmental issues. This finding might support the previous analysts who were pessimists about the accuracy of GDP in measuring people’s welfare and develop a new path for future research.

Taking China between 1980-2014, when China experienced the highest GDP growth as a case study, this investigation used secondary data provided by previous empirical research documents and international organizations’ data such as UNDP, WHO, World Bank and other relevant sources. The data was analyzed by comparative research method for comparing China’s GDP rate with China’s achievement on five aspects of alternative economic development gauges: inequality rates, life expectancy, health quality, education attainment, and environmental impacts. This investigation figured out that the impressive of China’s GDP has no direct correlation to Chinese real welfare. Along with the impression of China’s GDP, the Chinese must deal with inequality, the low government budget for human resources development, and environmental issues. This finding might support the previous analysts who were pessimists about the accuracy of GDP in measuring people’s welfare and develop a new path for future research.
