Monitoring dan Evaluasi Kebijakan Lahan Gambut Untuk Mencegah Tragedy of The Common di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah
No full textPeatlands in Central Kalimantan Province have been used in community life as a place to live and a place to farm so that they can trigger the tragedy of the common. Its use is not monitored and evaluated, and the government has issued several policies to prevent this from happening—the tragedy of the commons peatlands. Monitoring and evaluating policies are the process of monitoring, observing, and assessing the government's implementation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study show that the government's policies have been very effective in suppressing the tragedy of the common peatlands of Central Kalimantan Province. However, the evaluation results show the need for socialization and policy matching between the centre and regions so that implementation is right on target and follows local wisdom in Central Kalimantan

Grassroots Resistance and Informal Communication Practices During the Implementation of PPKM at Baron Beach
Full text linkThis study examines community resistance to the implementation of the PPKM policy, with a focus on the tourism sector in the Baron Beach Area of Gunungkidul Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data collection involves in-depth interviews and documentation techniques. Data analysis follows a systematic process of reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The findings reveal that the complex interplay of economic, social, and political factors drives community resistance. Resistance is expressed through subtle actions, including covert discussions on social media platforms, informal community gatherings, and strategic adaptations to policy requirements. These actions exemplify 'everyday resistance,' where individuals navigate power dynamics through nuanced forms of communication and collective action. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of both formal and informal communication channels in mediating resistance, such as online forums, community newsletters, and word-of-mouth exchanges. By examining these dynamics, this research offers insight into how communities negotiate and respond to policy implementation
Peranan Camat Dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Aparatur Sipil Negara di Kecamatan Hinai Kabupaten Langkat
No full textThis study will analyze the sub-district head's role in improving the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) performance in Hinai District, Lalat Regency, and identify the inhibiting factors. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The respondents interviewed included the Sub-district Head, the Sub-district Secretary, the head of the section, and the local community to get a comprehensive picture of the role of the Sub-district Head in improving the performance of ASN. This research shows that sub-districts have a strategic role as policymakers, leaders, motivators, supervisors, and ASN coaches. The sub-district head also encourages the improvement of ASN competencies through training, optimization of the use of technology, and strengthening accountability and transparency of public services. However, the effectiveness of the role of the sub-district head faces internal obstacles, such as low technological competence of ASN, resistance to change, and limited human resources. External barriers include limited technological infrastructure, minimal budgets, and increasing societal demands. To overcome this challenge, the sub-district needs to develop strategies such as continuous training, socialization of the importance of innovation, optimization of task division, and cooperation with local governments and external parties to improve the performance of civil servants and the quality of public services.Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran camat dalam meningkatkan kinerja Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) di Kecamatan Hinai, Kabupaten Langkat, serta mengidentifikasi faktor penghambatnya. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Responden yang diwawancarai meliputi Camat, Sekretaris Camat, kepala seksi, serta masyarakat setempat untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang komprehensif terkait peranan Camat dalam meningkatkan kinerja ASN. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa camat memiliki peran strategis sebagai pengambil kebijakan, pemimpin, motivator, pengawas, dan pembina ASN. Camat juga mendorong peningkatan kompetensi ASN melalui pelatihan, optimalisasi penggunaan teknologi, serta penguatan akuntabilitas dan transparansi pelayanan publik. Namun, efektivitas peran camat menghadapi hambatan internal, seperti rendahnya kompetensi teknologi ASN, resistensi terhadap perubahan, dan keterbatasan sumber daya manusia. Hambatan eksternal meliputi keterbatasan infrastruktur teknologi, anggaran minim, dan meningkatnya tuntutan masyarakat. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, camat perlu mengembangkan strategi seperti pelatihan berkelanjutan, sosialisasi pentingnya inovasi, optimalisasi pembagian tugas, serta kerja sama dengan pemerintah daerah dan pihak eksternal guna meningkatkan kinerja ASN dan kualitas pelayanan publik
The Role of China’s ICT Investments and Strategic Communication in Enhancing Influence in Kenya
Full text linkChina's economic engagement with Africa has evolved to include extensive investments in ICT as part of its Digital Silk Road initiative. In Kenya, Chinese ICT investments began in 1998 to establish a national telecommunications ecosystem. Drawing on Network Power and Communication Power, this study examines the role of DSR and communication strategy in shaping Kenya's digital and communication landscape. This paper argues that China's investments in Kenya have introduced digital standards, media communication platforms, and infrastructure, creating asymmetrical relations and controlling public narratives. By leveraging its investments, China built Kenya's telecommunications backbone, embedding its technological standards and limiting Kenya's ability to switch to alternative ICT providers and products. Consequently, Chinese ICT products dominate Kenya's market. Furthermore, the presence of Chinese state media in Kenya has shaped information flows and media content, blurring the line between economic development and strategic communication. This study contributes to understanding the strategic use of Chinese ICT investments to extend influence in Kenya, a regional leader in East Africa, through technological integration and communication networks

The analysis was carried out based on Zeithaml's theory, which includes five service quality dimensions: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation of Disdukcapil officers and the community as service recipients.

In addition, attention to vulnerable groups is still inadequate. However, data security guarantees and transparent procedures have increased public trust. To improve the quality of service, it is recommended that infrastructure be improved, the number and training of officers increased, information technology systems optimized, and wider procedures socialized. This effort is expected to increase the efficiency and transparency of population administration in Lalat Regency.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kualitas pelayanan publik dalam pembuatan e-KTP di Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil (Disdukcapil) Kabupaten Langkat.
