    The State-owned Plantation Company 10 (PTPN X) constitutes an example of modem (rational) way in managing Vorstenkmds tobacco production in Indonesia. This case shows that as public bureaucracy becomes a part of international market, there is change of decision making locus in the society, from family institutions to the bureaucracy. Consequently, bureaucracy intervenes much of family institutions. There are two types of bureucratic intervention: economic and technical. Economic intervention is concerned with marginalization of income while technical intervention is concerned with marginalization in setting up the standard of quality for tobacco. The negative repercussion of these interventions has been a deteriorating spirit in planting tobacco among the farmers. Farmers become the outsiders in their own land. Then, because of pressure and insecurity, farmers try to respond by using social security mechanism through family institutions, both temporary and continually. Such developed social mechanism has been performing very well in connecting farmers with the market. Finding in Kali Tengah shows that traditional social security would necessarily be a continual dichotomy with modem social security

    Ensuring the quality of basic service delivery in decentralised local governments through the Minimum Service Standard policy: How does it work?

    No full text
    This paper discusses the impact of the implementation of Minimum Service Standard (MSS) policy on the quality of basic services district/city governments deliver to their citizenry in Indonesia. One of the expectations of the decentralisation policy, which got underway in 1999 was to contribute to the improvement of the quality of public services. The issuing of Indonesian Government Regulation (GR) No. 65/2005, which outlined guidelines on setting and implementing MSS for all sectoral ministries was very much in line with that process. Study results obtained from a survey of the local government officials attest to the reality that most local governments are yet to implement the 15 MSS set by the 15 sectoral ministries. Some of the factors that have hampered the implementation of MSS include lack of clarity on substance of MSS policy (unclear concept of basic services and MSS; variety of approaches used in various sectoral ministries, such as input, process, output and outcome), and constraints that implementing organisations face (insufficient budget allocation and human resource capacity, unclear functional assignments, and lack of integration of MSS in local government development plans).

    Full text link
    The city of Makassar is an example of smart city development practice and considered successful in emerging with a new policy innovation. The city was able to build a smart city not only based on information technology (IT) but also involves a local wisdom called “sombere”. The value of sombere in the life of the people of Makassar is a manifestation of the attitudes and behaviors that includes friendliness, kindness, and care. This study examines how the application of sombere local wisdom in supporting smart city-based policy in Makassar. This study uses qualitative methods with case study designs. Data collection is carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive model. The results showed that the value of friendliness, kindness, and care in sombere is the key to a successful implementation of smart city policies. Sombere could maintain the policy so that it remained sustainable and easily accepted by the people of Makassar. Local wisdom significantly has a positive effect on each service and program created. However, in some of the programs, local wisdom is difficult and even too forced to combine with the smart city program. The dimensions that are well supported by local wisdom are found in the dimensions of smart governance, smart living, and smart society. Meanwhile, the dimensions of the smart environment and smart economy are difficult to combine local values with the use of technology. Moreover, the value of local wisdom seems to be just a slogan in smart branding.
