Synergy in Accelerating the Reduction of Stunting in Seram Bagian Timur Regency, Maluku Province
Full text linkThis study aims to analyse the synergy in accelerating the reduction of stunting in Seram Bagian Timur Regency and to identify the factors that support and hinder the acceleration of stunting reduction in Seram Bagian Timur Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observations, and document studies. This study uses the concept of synergy which includes two main dimensions: communication and coordination. The results of the study indicate that synergy in accelerating the reduction of stunting in Seram Bagian Timur Regency has shown progress through the active role of the local government in communication, cross-sectoral coordination, and the implementation of specific and sensitive interventions. However, the synergy achieved is not yet optimal. In terms of communication, there are still limitations in communication media such as pocketbooks and leaflets, which hinder information dissemination, and two-way communication or feedback has not been effective, as evidenced by the presence of audiences providing irrelevant responses. In terms of coordination, weaknesses lie in the low capacity of some cadres and the lack of awareness among village governments and communities regarding the urgency of stunting. Budget constraints and shortages of health workers such as midwives, nurses, and nutrition educators limit the scope of services, particularly in remote areas. Difficult geographical conditions further complicate efforts to accelerate stunting reduction. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance synergy in accelerating stunting reduction in Seram Bagian Timur District through: strengthening human resources, including improving cadre capacity and equitable distribution of health workers; increasing awareness among village governments and communities about the urgency of stunting; strengthening programme funding; and implementing interventions tailored to the geographical conditions of the area.

Evaluation Of Building Construction Approval Policy in Pademangan District
No full textThis study evaluates the implementation of the Building Construction Approval Policy (PBG) in Pademangan District, North Jakarta. The transition from a Building Construction Permit (IMB) system to a PBG system aims to simplify bureaucracy and support orderly and legal urban development. However, this change faces several challenges, particularly in densely populated areas like Pademangan, which has many unlicensed buildings. Using William Dunn's policy evaluation theory and descriptive-qualitative methods, this study assesses the effectiveness, efficiency, equity, responsiveness, adequacy, and appropriateness of the PBG policy. Data collection techniques included interviews with officials and residents, field observations, and literature studies. The results indicate that although the digital SIMBG system improves transparency and efficiency, public understanding of the PBG procedure remains low. Technical barriers, limited digital access, and a lack of government outreach are key obstacles. On the other hand, government initiatives in implementing online systems and providing public services have been supporting factors. This study concludes that the PBG policy in Pademangan needs to be optimized, particularly in terms of outreach and institutional coordination to ensure equitable access, legal compliance, and sustainable urban development.

Analysis of Public Policies in Indonesia’s Palm Oil Industry to Support Sustainable Development
Full text linkIndonesia's palm oil industry is facing a sustainability crisis driven by large-scale deforestation, ecosystem degradation, high carbon emissions, and human rights violations. These issues are exacerbated by weak land governance, productivity disparities, and the lack of a holistic integration of public policies in responding to global ecological, social, and economic pressures. This study aims to analyze palm oil policies within the framework of sustainable development using the Multiple Streams Framework. The research employs a qualitative method through a literature review, critically examining government policies and related reports on palm oil governance in the context of sustainable development. Findings reveal that the industry's sustainability is hindered by the misalignment between economic growth, environmental conservation, and social justice. Although the government has introduced policies such as B40 biodiesel and the National Action Plan for Sustainable Palm Oil (RAN-KSB), major challenges persist, particularly in weak governance, social inequality, and environmental damage. This study recommends the reformulation of more transparent and sustainable policies to promote a more responsible palm oil industry.

Study of Student Perceptions on the Performance, Transparency, and Independence of Bawaslu as the Electoral Supervisory Agency s 2024
Full text linkGeneral elections are one of the main pillars of a democratic system, serving to legitimize power through a peaceful and periodic process. In their implementation, the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) plays a central role as the supervisory body responsible for ensuring that elections are conducted in a direct, public, free, confidential, honest, and fair manner. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of Bawaslu's performance, transparency, and independence in the implementation of the 2024 General Election. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of a closed Likert scale questionnaire distributed to students at the University of 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta. The data obtained was analyzed using a descriptive approach based on the frequency distribution and percentage of respondents' answers for each indicator. The results show that the majority of students have a positive perception of Bawaslu's performance and transparency, with a total of 60% and 59.9% of respondents agreeing and strongly agreeing. However, perceptions of Bawaslu's independence tended to be lower, with only 49.4% of respondents agreeing and strongly agreeing, and 50.6% remaining neutral or disagreeing. This shows that although trust in Bawaslu is generally quite good, there are still doubts among students regarding the institution's neutrality from political intervention. This study emphasizes the importance of increasing information transparency, strengthening public communication, and protecting the institutional independence of Bawaslu as part of efforts to strengthen the legitimacy and quality of electoral democracy in Indonesia. The perceptions of students as young voters and a critical group are important indicators in measuring the success of election monitoring functions in the public eye. However, the weakness of this study is the limited number of respondents from one university and the use of a closed questionnaire as an instrument. Future research should involve respondents from various universities and combine quantitative methods with interviews or focus group discussions (FGDs) to obtain a more in-depth and representative picture.
