Regional Approaches to Sustainable Development Goals Implementation in Education, Healthcare, Environmental Management and Urban Resilience
Full text linkThis issue presents a diverse and compelling collection of research that highlights how countries in Southeast Asia and Africa are advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through localized, context-specific strategies. As part of the Global South, these regions face complex and interconnected challenges including limited resources, governance hurdles, and persistent socio-economic inequalities that make SDG implementation particularly demanding. Yet, the studies featured here demonstrate innovative approaches in education, healthcare, environmental management, and urban resilience that offer valuable insights into the region’s evolving pathways toward sustainable and inclusive growth
Breaking the Poverty Cycle: Impact of Social Assistance on Intergenerational Poverty
Full text linkThe intergenerational transmission of poverty is a structural problem in Indonesia. The transmission of poverty presents a considerable barrier to poverty eradication and requires concerted government intervention. Social assistance plays a vital role in strengthening household income, fostering better outcomes for children, and addressing the long-term transmission of poverty from one generation to the next. Despite its potential, this program also faces dependency and suboptimal utilization, which limit its impact on enhancing children’s human capital. Therefore, this research seeks to examine the impacts of social assistance on intergenerational poverty. This research primarily utilizes IFLS data from 2007 to 2014 using the method of propensity score matching. The findings indicated that parents receiving social assistance had a 19.4% point decrease in the likelihood of their children experiencing poverty. The Family Hope Program (PKH), as a conditional cash transfer, has the most substantial impact on alleviating child poverty. These findings provide important lessons for designing policies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 1 and Goal 10
Unraveling Policy Overlaps in Indonesia’s National Development Planning System
Full text linkIndonesia's development governance faces persistent structural challenges: policy overlaps that undermine coherence in planning, performance management, and budgeting. This commentary adopts a systems level perspective to examine how fragmented mandates and institutional silos collectively shape governance complexity, directly affecting development outcomes at the subnational level while drawing lessons from international reform experiences.
Indonesia's development planning architecture consists of the National Development Planning System (SPPN), the Government Performance Accountability System (SAKIP), and performance-based budgeting mechanisms. While established to enhance governance quality, public administration scholarship demonstrates that proliferating policy tools and institutional actors increase policy incoherence and institutional fragmentation (Peters, 2015). Indonesia's planning and performance systems evolve within separate institutional logics, creating what Moynihan (2008) conceptualizes as decoupled performance systems where planning, performance measurement, and budgeting remain insufficiently integrated. This fragmentation is reinforced by goal ambiguity (Rainey, 2009), as SPPN prioritizes development targets while SAKIP emphasizes organizational accountability. Fragmented approaches among key government bodies weaken interministerial coordination and exacerbate policy inconsistencies (O'Leary & Bingham, 2009). with this silo mentality being particularly evident in the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry for Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, and the Ministry of Finance
AI-Based Models for Identifying Underdeveloped Villages in Indonesia's Rural Development
Full text linkThis study improves the prediction and classification of underdeveloped villages in Indonesia using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. It identifies key factors driving underdevelopment to inform policy interventions that support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Communities). Using data from 75,261 villages based on Indonesia’s Village Development Index (IDM), the Decision Tree model achieved the highest classification accuracy at 99.5%. Analysis of feature importance revealed the Economic Resilience Index (IKE) as the most significant factor, followed by the Ecological Resilience Index (IKL) and the Social Resilience Index (IKS). These results align with the SDGs’ focus on economic, social, and environmental resilience. The research offers a data-driven approach to advancing rural development and guiding effective policy decisions in Indonesia
Closing the Gap Between Education and Labor Market Requirement: Do Vocational Education Matter?
Full text linkThe alignment between educational attainment and job type is expected to create a win-win solution from both the labor supply and demand perspectives. Despite these expectations, challenges remain in fully realizing such alignment within labor markets. In Indonesia, vertical mismatch continues to be a significant concern, particularly among the youth. Vocational education is predicted to be able to close that gap. This study aims to (1) analyze the impacts of vocational education toward vertical mismatch and (2) examine the impact of vertical mismatch on decent income among young people in Indonesia. Using Sakernas microdata analyzed using logistic regression method, the study finds that youth who complete vocational education are less likely to experience vertical mismatch. Furthermore, youth who are matched or overeducated have higher chances of earning a decent income. These findings underscore the needs of vocational education curriculum aligned with labor market demands
Examining How Macroeconomic Variables Influence Regional Autonomy: An Examination of Local Taxing Power
Full text linkThe Indonesian Central Government has granted local governments greater autonomy and authority in resource management, a process called decentralization. The impact of macroeconomic factors on regional autonomy in Jambi Province following fiscal decentralization explores how decentralization empowers local governments to optimize local income. The Financial Relations Law (UU HKPD) underscores the importance of local taxing Power for local administrations. Methodologically, this study utilizes panel data regression to investigate the influence of macroeconomic variables on regional autonomy. The qualitative analysis method is also employed to formulate policy strategies for enhancing local taxing Power. Results reveal some macroeconomic variables have a significant effect on regional autonomy. These are some recommendations to strengthen regional autonomy in Jambi Province, such as the identification of leading sectors regarding income tax, enhancement of supervision and law enforcement, taxpayer education, improvement of public service quality, the establishment of tax collection task forces, and innovation in tax administration
Transformative Pathways of Agrarian Reform: Comparative Bibliometric Insights of Southeast Asia and Indonesia Cases
Full text linkAgrarian reform is recognized globally as a solution for reducing land ownership inequality. Many countries, including Indonesia, are still working to enhance its implementation. This study examines global agrarian reform research trends over the past decade, focusing on Southeast Asian (SEA) nations, particularly Indonesia. The methodology involved conducting a bibliometric analysis using RStudio and adhering to the PRISMA framework. The result of our analysis, which included 248 articles, reveals a trend of increasing interest in agrarian reform. Among the 20 selected articles, we observe that agrarian reform success in Europe, especially in Scandinavia, correlates with democratization. Conversely, Latin America contends with personal agenda challenges, while Africa faces issues of inclusivity and gender. SEA nations employ diverse approaches: Vietnam boosts productivity with private farming, Thailand enhances revenue through agrotourism, but Timor-Leste and the Philippines face managerial and credit access hurdles. Indonesia integrates asset and access management, yet access issues persist
The IKN Project Invades Living Spaces: Evictions and Changes in the Livelihood System of Indigenous Communities
Full text linkThe Role of Basic Infrastructure to Strengthen Economic Security in Eastern Indonesia
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the role of water infrastructure in supporting the development of leading commodities in Maluku and Papua, Indonesia. The 2020 Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) dataset will be analyzed using the Location Quotient (LQ) technique to determine the leading sectors/base commodities with comparative advantages in the Maluku and Papua Provinces. Based on the Location Quotient (LQ) analysis results, it will be combined with a spatial approach to provide an overview of water resources and infrastructure. The results of this study show that water resource infrastructure is related to the housing settlement sector and agricultural commodities in Maluku and Papua. Increasing agricultural productivity has positive implications for Indonesia's food and economic security. Investment in water infrastructure development is needed to support leading sectors
Revealing Conditions of Detailed Water Usage, Daily Life Water Quality, and Awareness Related to Waste Water at Urban Kampung in Indonesia
Full text linkThis research aimed to investigate the actual water use of residents and the quality of well water used daily at the urban kampung located in Bandung, Indonesia. The status of wastewater treatment and residents' awareness of the water environment were also investigated in the target area. The methodology used included a survey of residents, water quality testing, and an assessment of wastewater practices. The results showed that approximately one-half of the respondents used water from the water utility, with the other half using well water as their main domestic water source. Identifying water sources by end-use revealed that residents mainly used bottled water for drinking and cooking. Since Escherichia coli was detected in many wells, it is not recommended that residents drink well water without disinfection. In addition, most of the wastewater in the area was discharged into a nearby river without treatment
