The Significance of Village Data for Village Development: Students’ Community Development Program Experience (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan) – Universities Contribution to Village Development
No full textIt is common knowledge that development planning at the village level is rarely based on valid and updated data. Students and lecturers in the Public Administration Department Parahyangan Catholic University, who have been working with villages in West Java Province for several decades encountered situations to support that argument. It is difficult to obtain valid and updated data to use as evidence in developing initiatives and programs for the village development. Students’ Community Development Program (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan henceforth KKL themed Universities Contribution to Village Development was initiated with the goal of improving the quality of data in rural areas (Garut District) by collecting and updating village data, developing the capacity of village government leaders and staff to collect and update village data on their own. This paper discusses three major works that the Students’ Community Development Program (KKN) themed Universities Contribution to Village Development have made. The three areas relate to 1) elaboration of the logic of the program; (2) discussion of the process of data collection and analysis of data in the three villages; and (3) discussion of output and outcomes of the program. Research action, as Lewin argues, has three goals: to advance knowledge; to improve a concrete situation; and to improve behavioral science methodology. This paper presents a case study that shows the existence of a problem in a community, and concrete actions taken to solve it through the application of knowledge acquired through Community Development Program (KKL) experience of Universitas Membangun Desa.

Full text linkThis paper discusses the agencification phenomena as one of New Public Management (NPM)-based administrative reform initiatives. Thailand, Hong Kong, and Pakistan were chosen because of their similarity on administrative legacy and availability of data. The study uses a review of literature research method, while comparative approach was employed to analyze experiences of agencification in the three selected cases. Research result showed that the three countries implemented agencification in different ways; rational agency model is not the only driver for agencification initiatives; and contextual factor that include traditions, cultures, structures, and values influence the implementation of agencification process as a public sector reform initiative. Policy implications can be drawn by reading the three countries on agencification. Thus, Indonesia, as one of NPM adopters can learn from experience gleaned from the three polities in conducting its administrative reform agenda

Parties who are assignedan authority/power in acertain public organization should be accountable. Theywill be watched and controlled by other parties such as supreme audit board, society,and non-government organization, who require explanations and justifications of their conduct.

A Study of Good Governance Index in Yogyakarta Special Region Between 2012 and 2016
Full text linkThis study assesses the progress of good governance index in Yogyakarta between 2012 and 2016. Kemitraan (Partnership for Governance Reform) developed the Yogyakarta governance index of 2012 based on the IGI (Indonesia Governance Index)’s methodology. The author used the same methodology to develop Yogyakarta governance index of 2016 based on newly collected data on government, bureaucracy, civil society and economic society in Yogyakarta. This paper compares Yogyakarta good governance index for 2012 and 2016. The index comprises scores on three levels, interalia: the arena, principles and actual policy. The paper introduces and describes the three tier structure and index processing. Results of the comparison of the index for 2012 and 2016 shows that in general Yogyakarta governance index increased from the level of fairy good (6.80) in 2012 to good (7.93) in 2016. Subsequently, the scores that comprise the arena and principle levels were analyzed to determine the contribution of each to the total governance index, and afterwards determine the contribution of each principle to the score of each arena. The results of the analysis procedure indicates the possibility that the increase in governance index may be linked to new special status Law No.13 of 2012 for Yogyakarta. Prior to 2012, the special status of Yogyakarta special administration was shrouded in uncertainty. However, with the passage of Law No.13/2013, the special status of the province is now codified, and today forms the legal basis for policy making in this province. This paper limits itself to indicators that point to the association between the governance and the enactment of the law, and does neither go as far as analyzing the impact that the enactment of the special status law has had on policies, nor evaluate the impact that policy changes made in the aftermath of the implementation of the special status law on the performance of the index

New Design of Raskin Program (Analysis of the RASDA Implementation in Kulonprogo Regency)
Full text linkThis thesis is an analysis of public policies based on the research carried out about the implementation of RASDA Program (local rice husbandry) in Kulonprogo in 2015. It is claimed as a new alternative offered to replace the Government RASKIN Program that is already running. This research aimed at determining how effective the implementation of the RASDA Program in Kulonprogo was and identifying the factors that cause RASDA program did not run as the expectation. The method used in this study was a qualitative method using two types of data, primary and secondary data. The data collection techniques used were observation, interview, and documentation with informants selection technique using the principle of purposive and snowball techniques. The data analysis technique was done through data reduction, data display, and data verification.The results showed that efforts to renew the RASKIN Program (cheap-priced rice) through RASDA program were not successfully done. The achievement of program outputs and outcome indicators were still far away from the expectation. The progress was not significantly improved, it still encountered the same problems as those in the implementation of the previous RASKIN Program. Meanwhile, farmers did not have any benefits from the uptake of the local rice because it was not optimally prepared.There are several factors that cause RASDA Program in Kulonprogro did not run well. The first reason was that it is difficult to link the concept of the program with the actual situation, seen from: (1) the farmers as the program target still thought conservatively causing the loss of the benefits that will be gained from the RASDA Program; (2) the intervention of political elites in the process of policy formulation; (3) the limited authority of the local government in the National RASKIN Program; and (4) the incoherence among the needs for resources in the factual conditions. The second cause, the conflict of interest among the holders cause the program implementation did not synchronize to each other, as seen from: (1) their efforts to make RASDA program as a springboard for “other” purposes; (2) the bias support of BULOG; (3) the lack of enthusiasm and initiatives among the holders/bureaucracy; and (4) the entrepreneurs’ mindset of business that dominated farmers community. The third reason is that there was not awareness on the characteristics of the group target to anticipate problems that arise.Based on these findings, the researcher suggested the government focus in optimizing the current mechanisms of the food subsidies. The government should also concern in looking for other alternatives to optimize the potential of the local foods. The government should also do some efforts to gain the welfare for farmers, by: (1) reconstructing values and norms in terms of social rules to support the program with the intensive socialization; (2) allocating the budget the APBD for the procurement of subsidized rice for poor households who are not registered; (3) monitoring the program up to the lowest level intensively; (4) encouraging small entrepreneurs to become BULOG’s partners to seek an access to the Capital; (5) maintaining fair competition among rice traders; (6) conducting studies on the possibility of establishing an integrated rice husbandry regional company; (7) encouraging the local rice branding

The determination of the prior destinations by the central government in 2017 was followed by the adoption of 5 zoning destinations/tourism strategic areas (KSPD) in Kulonprogo. Policies in the tourism sector is also followed by the policies on investment, particularly for infrastructure investment since the rapid growth of the investment climate and the development of mega projects in Kulonprogo (central-provincial government) to ignite the economic and the tourism development. Programs that are conducted by Kulonrogo Government through the Department of Tourism, Youth, and Sports in tourism are expected to affect the behavior/mindset of the tourism actors to concern and be more aware of tourism issues in anticipating the livelihood changes of most people in Kulonprogo (non-tourism changes into the tourism). The government should monitor and control the tourism destination development by concerning the issues of capacity, supporting capacity, and the environmental sustainability, especially around the nature-based tourism resorts

An Analysis of Poverty Reduction Program Based on the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) (A Case of the Family Hope Program Implementation in Pandak Bantul District 2014)
No full textThe study of this research was an analysis of the public policy implementation concerning on the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Pandak, Bantul regency in 2014. The purposes of this study were to investigate: (1) the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH), (2) the performance of the Family Hope Program (PKH) and (3) factors that influence the performance of the Family Hope Program (PKH). To investigate the implementation of the Family Hope Program in Pandak, the researcher tried to analyze the processes during its implementation. While to measure the performance of the Family Hope Program in Pandak, the researcher applied policy output indicators approach from Randall B. Ripley. It consists of indicators of access, scope, accountability, be as, promptness of service and suitability of the program needs. The research used a qualitative method by using primary data and secondary data. To collect the data, the researcher used observation, interview and documentary. To analyze the data, the researcher applied inductive data analysis. PKH implementation consists of some the steps, those are: (1) determining the targets, (2) validating and preparing of the initial meeting, (3) the distributing of aid and clustering the participants of PKH,(4) commitments verification, and (5) updating the data. From the various stages taken, there is a problem related to the weaknesses of the validation process, that it is only administratively. The weak validation process leads the determination of the target program became less accurate. Based on the measurement of the policy output indicators showed that the output performance of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Pandak is low, it can be seen from: 1) aspect of bias, as there are still economically, some established families belonging to the members of PKH; 2) aspects of delivery service (promptness of service) as the lateness of the financial aid disbursement, and 3) aspects of the sustainability of the program with the needs of the target group, the aid criteria or the amount of aid considered to be unfair for each RTSM.The research results also showed five dominant factors toward the performance of the program, namely: 1) the lack of communication with the local village government; 2) the lack of data transparency of the PKH receiver targets; 3) the limitation of the available sources; and 4) the absence of mechanisms and rules controlling the fund spent by RTSM; and 5) the decreased compliance of RTSM in fulfilling the obligations under the rules of the program. According to these factors, there were some recommendations to increase the policy / program to be better, those are: (1) Improving the communication and involving the local village government, (2) Increasing the data transparency of the PKH receiver targets; (3) there should be an audit of the available sources; (4) Social Ministry should issue a new rule and control it to the spending of PKH financial aid by RTSM, and (5) optimizing the functions and the coordination between the supervisors and the local village government to increase the awareness of the poor society in fulfilling the specified obligations in the program
