Government Public Relations and Social Media: Bridging the Digital Divide on People with Social Welfare Problems
Full text linkThis study is a public relations inquiry that aims to describe the use of social media by govern-ment public relations to bridge the digital divide that affects people with social welfare prob-lems. The research, unlike most public relations studies that by and large, focus on organiza-tional image, reputation, communication crisis, and transparency, uses the digital divide per-spective.

Thirdly, the flow of information takes place in either one or two steps, in contrast with the ideal, which should be in one step
Determining Public Value of Infrastructure Projects: Case Studies in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia
Full text linkPublic infrastructure is very important for tourism and cultural activities in Yogyakarta as one of the largest tourist cities in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine the public value of three public investment projects in Yogyakarta, including, Flyover, Jalan 0 Km, and Grahatama Library. Flyover represents infrastructure projects in the form of roads, zero KM represents one of Yogyakarta's biggest tourist destination icons, and Grahatama Library represents a difficult development project. This study uses the cost-effectiveness analysis of each project using qualitative methods through interviews and secondary data analysis of three research sites. This method is used to be able to analyze the publicity value of various types of infrastructure projects in Yogyakarta and how their implications are for the economy. The results show that the construction of the three projects has the potential to produce results that will improve community welfare and increase income distribution, implying that the project values investment costs. Thus, despite the fact that in connection with the cost of the Grahatama library project, far exceeds the short economic value it generates, in the long run, the existence of libraries by increasing public access to knowledge will contribute to regional development
Actor Networking in Forest Fires Mitigation, Ogan Komering Ilir District, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia
Full text linkForest fire is a seasonal environmental problem in Indonesia. The Government of Indonesia has introduced a new policy that promotes a networking approach. This paper attempts to analyze the existing networks that emerge during the process of forest fire prevention/mitigation in Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) District. Drawing on empirical research using Social Network Analysis (SNA), we identify various actors participating in forest fire governance. The local government has promoted the principle of voluntary civil society and plantation corporation participation in the networks, which, however, based on findings does not seem to be effective. Our findings show that mitigation of forest fires in OKI District is plagued by low cohesiveness. The prominent role of the police in the network underscores the approach that the local government is using to tackle forest fires, which is, that it is a security problem and not as a disaster that requires intensive collaboration among multi-stakeholders. To that end, based on the research results, policy recommendations include, the need for the Central Government to establish a ‘stick and carrots’ mechanism for the local government to foster the adoption of collaborative forest fires mitigation management; the need for the local government, especially the provincial government and the district government, to reduce the role of the police while at the same time strengthen the role of non-state actors in forest fire mitigation; the need for the central and the local government to strengthen the capability of civil servants to work under the collaborative ecosystem through systematic learning

This interest investor later received various responses by the local community who joined the community rejecting the cement factory, Jaringan Masyarakat Peduli Pegunungan Kendeng (JMPPK). The rejection was based on the reasons that the establishment of a cement factory in the area would have an impact on the local environment in general and pollution, degradation and damage to springs, loss of agricultural land and employment opportunities accompanying farmers, the spread of certain diseases that would endanger the communities living in around it.

Public Service Motivation Measurement: A Test of Perry's Scale in Indonesia
Full text linkThis article proposes and tests a ‘shorter version of the instrument for public service motivation based on Perry’s (1996) exploratory 24-item scale for Indonesia civil servants in five big cities, inter alia, Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Makassar, and Medan. Of 1200 respondents, 904 completed the questionnaire, and 800 questionnaires were determined to be feasible for further analysis. Thus, the response rate was 88.50% the results indicated support for the shortened scale of Perry’s original work on investigating the Public Service Motivation (PSM) of Indonesia civil servants in sample cities. The 10-item scale was based on four factors PSM, inter alia Attraction to Policy Making (APM), Commitment to the Public Interest (CPI), Compassion (COM), Self-Sacrifice (SS). Results also showed that, generally PSM for civil servant with basic positions in city government offices, in five cities tends to vary. The research results are expected to enhance our understanding about the importance of factors that influence the motivation of civil servants in providing public services to the general public. However, the limitation of the study lies in the small sample which is drawn from only five large cities in Indonesia
