Eco-City as A Concept of Samarinda City Development After the Relocation of The National Capital
Full text linkThe relocation of the country's capital has had a positive and a negative impact on the city of Samarinda. The eco-city concept was put forward as a solution to this challenge. This research aims to explore the application of eco-city in the construction of Samarinda City. Descriptive analysis and interviews are the methods employed. The results show that eco-cities can boost economic growth while reducing the impact of excessive urbanization. This research is qualitative, using a literary study approach. The study looks at the concept of eco-cities by focusing on indicators of mass transport development, building decent, affordable, and versatile housing, and reducing pollution and waste. The findings of this study indicate that the Samarinda City Government's vision, mission, and regional excellence programs have indirectly adopted the principle of eco-city. However, in terms of implementation, it is still far from the concept of an eco-city itself
BNN One Stop Service (BOSS): Transformational Leadership and Change Management Lessons
Full text linkThis qualitative case study investigates the role of change management and transformational leadership in implementing the BNN One Stop Service (BOSS), an e-government initiative by Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency. Drawing on the STOPE framework, the study analyzes data from interviews, document reviews, and observations at BNN's work units in Bali Province. The findings reveal that successful BOSS implementation requires both strategic leadership direction and comprehensive change management approaches. Key success factors include clear regulations, robust SOPs, effective communication channels, and targeted training programs. While leadership actively monitors implementation progress, collaboration with external stakeholders proves crucial for expanding service reach. However, varying e-readiness levels across work units pose implementation challenges. The study yields significant implications across multiple domains. At the policy level, it suggests developing differentiated implementation frameworks based on organizational readiness. For practitioners, it emphasizes establishing comprehensive change protocols before digital transformation initiatives. Theoretically, it extends the STOPE framework by demonstrating the critical intersection between transformational leadership and change management in e-government implementation. For public sector organizations, the findings indicate that successful digital transformation requires not only technological infrastructure but also leadership commitment, systematic change processes, and sustained stakeholder engagement. These insights particularly benefit developing nations pursuing similar public service digital initiatives
Implementation of Lean Management in Public Administration to Improve the Efficiency of Government Services
Full text linkPublic administration plays an important role in giving effective and efficient service to society. However, various obstacles like complex bureaucracy and waste source power, as well as suboptimal service processes, often becomeconstraints in increasing the quality of service in government. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the lean management concept in administration for public use to increase the efficiency of the government's service. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collected through interviews, observations, and analysis document the identification of the implementation of lean management principles. Research results show that implementation of lean management in public administration is effective in increasing efficiency in government service. With reduced waste, simplified bureaucratic processes, and optimized source power, the method speeds up decision-making as well as increasing responsiveness to the needs of society. In addition, the implementation of Kaizen principles allows for sustainable repair through regular evaluation and innovation, having a big impact in the long term. The research results also revealed that training employees in Lean principles does not only increase technical skills but also encourages pattern thinking that is more proactive and innovative. Evaluating sustainable performance based on indicators like time settlement tasks and satisfaction in society becomes a main factor in evaluating the effectiveness of changes implemented. With transparency and culture supportive work repair sustainable, bureaucracy can develop into a more modern, efficient, and interest-oriented system for the public
Rocking the Bayan: PKS Strategy to Replace Golkar Party's Dominance in the 2019 Legislative Elections in Bandung Regency
Full text linkThe Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) in several regions in principle has significant differences with national achievements in terms of increasing electability. Although the national achievement stagnated at 7-8%, in Bandung Regency, PKS succeeded in disrupting the dominance of the Golongan Karya (Golkar) party, which for almost 20 years controlled Bandung Regency in both the executive and legislative realms. This is based on the fact that in 2019, PKS took second place in the legislative vote. This research uses Peter Schroder's political marketing strategy theory with two variables, namely offensive strategies (market expansion strategies and market penetration strategies) and defensive strategies (market defense strategies and market closing strategies). This research is also dissected with a qualitative approach, where data analysis is operated with a mixed method between unstructured interviews with PKS leaders in Bandung Regency and the use of secondary data collected from mass media and PKS official social media. The results showed that PKS was able to move to the second position of the legislative election vote because it managed to take advantage of several strategic moments ranging from the 212 Islamic Defense Action in the national realm to populist program campaigns such as lifetime driving licenses and tax-free motor vehicles and was agile in positioning itself to respond to the internal conflict of the Golkar party in Bandung Regency by then carrying Golkar cadres who left the party
Digitalization of Business Administration in Government: Strategy towards Smart Government
Full text linkDigitalization of business administration in government is a strategic step in realizing a smart government that is more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the community. This study aims to analyze the role of digitalization in government business administration, identify strategies that can be applied to support the transformation towards smart government, and examine the challenges faced in the digitalization process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, technology experts, and academics, as well as through analysis of documents and policies related to government digitalization. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles & Huberman method, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, as well as using data triangulation to increase the validity of the research results. The results of the study show that digitalization of business administration in government plays a significant role in increasing the efficiency of public services, reducing complex bureaucracy, and accelerating data-based decision-making. Digitalization of government is a strategy towards a smart government that is efficient, transparent, and responsive. With digital technology, governments can improve public services, speed up administration, and support data-based decision-making. The implementation of e-budgeting, e-procurement, and e-audit strengthens modern and accountable governance. However, challenges such as the digital divide, limited internet access, high costs, low digital literacy, and data security need to be addressed through strong digital infrastructure, education, and regulations. The success of digitalization depends on the readiness of the community and apparatus, as well as the inclusiveness of services, in order to create an effective, transparent government that improves public welfare
