Investasi Asing dalam Industri Pariwisata Bali: Sebuah Pandangan Terkait Praktik New Imperialism Bagi Kearifan Lokal

Ida Ayu Galih Pramesti Maharani — 2025-06-30

Foreign investment has a significant role in the development of the tourism industry in Bali and contributes to local economic growth. However, the dominance of foreign capital can pose challenges to the existence of local wisdom, economic dependence, and exploitation of local resources. This paper examines foreign investment in Bali’s tourism industry through the perspective of new imperialism using a descriptive qualitative approach. This research shows that there are still foreign investment practices that are not accordance with local wisdom values, but only concerned with profit expansion. This can cause cultural degradation and socio-economic inequality, especially for local Balinese people. With this, concrete steps are needed in the form of collaboration between the government, local communities, and foreign investors to be able to create sustainable tourism development and maintain local traditions.

Definisi Konseptual E-Government dan E-Governance : Analisis Komparatif

Erinda Alfiani Fauzi — 2025-06-30

This research examines the conceptual distinctions between e-government and e-governance through comprehensive literature analysis. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, there are fundamental differences in their conceptual foundations, scope, and practical implications. The findings reveal that e-government tends to focus on technical and administrative aspects of technology implementation in government, while e-governance encompasses a broader perspective on the transformation of relationships between government, citizens, and other stakeholders. This research proposes an integrated conceptual framework that positions both concepts along a continuum of digital government development. The findings provide necessary conceptual clarification for theoretical development and practical implementation in the field of digital public administration, while encouraging a more holistic approach to understanding digital government transformation.

Pelaksanaan Fungsi Pengawasan Badan Permusyarawatan Desa (BPD) dalam Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa (Studi Pada Desa Tabore Kecamatan Mantangai Kabupaten Kapuas)

Yoga — 2025-06-30

The implementation of the supervisory function by the Village Consultative Body (BPD) plays a crucial role in supporting the creation of transparent, accountable, and participatory village governance. BPD functions as a representative institution of the village community that oversees the administration of government, including the management of village finances and the implementation of public policies at the village level. However, in practice, various challenges still hinder the optimal execution of this function.

This study aims to examine in depth the implementation of the supervisory function of BPD in Tabore Village, Mantangai Subdistrict, Kapuas Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review. The research informants consist of village government officials, BPD members, and community leaders. Data analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.

The results show that the BPD of Tabore Village has carried out its supervisory functions in accordance with the theory of Juliantara (2005) as cited in Ngga (2022), which includes: (1) supervision of the implementation of Village Regulations, (2) supervision of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBDes), and (3) supervision of decisions made by the Village Head. These three aspects have been implemented effectively by the BPD, which also actively involves the community in village deliberations as a form of transparency and public accountability. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of supervision still needs to be improved, particularly through institutional capacity building, enhancing the quality of community participation, and strengthening the synergy between BPD and the Village Government to achieve optimal and responsive village governance.

Strategi Komunikasi Politik Partai Gerindra Di Kota Palangka Raya Dalam Pemilu 2024 Dan Pilkada 2025

Abdul Rahman — 2025-06-30

This study aims to examine the Gerindra Party's political communication strategy in conveying its political message to the people of Palangka Raya in the 2024 General Election and the 2025 Regional Election. Through interviews with party cadres, this study found that Gerindra's political communication in Palangka Raya relies heavily on two main aspects: the use of social media and direct meetings. Social media was chosen because of its efficiency in reaching a wider audience, especially young voters, while direct meetings were emphasized more to reach community groups in areas that are not yet fully accessible by the internet. The Gerindra Party also faces challenges in dealing with hoaxes and inaccurate information and adapting to differences in communication at the central and regional levels. These findings are expected to provide insight into political communication strategies in more effective campaigns in the future.

Implementasi Desentralisasi dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Layanan Publik di Pemerintahan Daerah

Al Hafiz Rasya Ramadhan — 2025-06-30

This study investigates the implementation of decentralization in improving the quality of public services at the local government level. The purpose of the research is to examine how decentralization policies influence service delivery performance and to identify key factors that contribute to more effective public services. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing interviews, documentation, and observation as the main data collection techniques. The research was conducted in selected regional government institutions that have actively implemented decentralization strategies.The findings indicate that decentralization, when properly executed, has a positive impact on public service quality. Increased local authority and autonomy enable faster decision-making, better allocation of resources, and services that are more responsive to community needs. However, the effectiveness of decentralization largely depends on institutional capacity, human resource competence, transparency, and accountability mechanisms. In some cases, challenges such as bureaucratic inefficiency and lack of coordination still hinder optimal service delivery.The study concludes that decentralization can significantly improve public services if accompanied by capacity building, institutional reform, and strong governance practices. It recommends strengthening local institutional structures and enhancing community participation to ensure that decentralization leads to more citizen-oriented services

Pengaruh Stabilitas Keamanan Indo-Pasifik melalui AOIP terhadap Ketegangan China-Taiwan dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Maritim

Muh Nurfaiz Fahmi — 2025-06-30

This research analyzes ASEAN’s role through the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP) in responding to China–Taiwan tensions that threaten regional maritime security. AOIP promotes cooperation based on inclusivity, ASEAN centrality, and respect for international law. Despite broad support from major partners like the U.S. and Japan, AOIP’s effectiveness remains limited due to its non-binding nature and ASEAN’s cautious stance toward China’s assertiveness. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the research finds that AOIP lacks strategic tools to prevent escalation or address real-time threats. The study recommends strengthening ASEAN’s collective capacity through early warning mechanisms and deeper multilateral cooperation. AOIP must evolve beyond a normative framework into a proactive platform capable of supporting regional stability and managing power rivalries in the Indo-Pacific.
