The paper investigates the governance and administrative process in the nickel project in Indonesia and offers suggestions to apply governance for sustainable development concept for creating an eco-mobility industry in Indonesia. This paper is a case study using qualitative methodology and governance for sustainable development theoretical framework. In applying qualitative methodology, this paper is supported by previous research publications, local press publications, and interviews. The governance for sustainable development is used as a strategic guideline in mining project to develop Indonesia’s eco-mobility industry further. This paper has three findings. First, the nickel project in Indonesia is part of bilateral cooperation between Indonesia with the National Strategic Program and China with the Belt and Road Initiative program. Thus, the concept of governance is not only applied in domestic policy but also bilateral cooperation. Second, non-technical issues have been identified during the governance and administrative process of nickel project in Indonesia. The governance concept must be applied to resolve the project’s non-technical problems and make it sustainable. Third, all the governance stakeholders in the nickel project must adopt a sustainable governance development framework. Indonesia should avoid further setback and refrain from the previous oil-booming phenomenon in the 1970s. The governance sustainable development concept requires all the stakeholders in the mining project to cooperate inclusively. It comprises extraction, production, recycling-waste management, e-vehicle industry, social acceptance, and rehabilitating the environment (land, air, water, and the living beings) affected by mining activities. This paper highlights Indonesia’s experience in creating an eco-mobility industry, using the nickel project as the key driver under investigation.

The paper discusses possible solutions through the Social Development Fund (SDF) scheme to reduce and prevent educated unemployment problems. This paper uses critical discourse involving literature studies such as books, journals, reports, and online media. The findings of the research show that (1) there still a lot of educated workforces unemployed. This happens because of the mismatch between the capabilities and the goals of the industry. Technological advances invented new jobs. Therefore, it requires someone to adapt quickly, let alone the fact that (2) cooperation between ministries and the private sectors is not quite optimal. Other factors are, (3) SDF practices implementation by other countries, (4) resource availability in Indonesia to implement SDF. From this study concluded that SDF is a realistic alternative offer to be implemented in Indonesia, as an ecosystem that is able to ensure that existing sectors work optimally to establish the common goal of reducing the possibility of educated unemployment.

In this paper we discuss the connection between the concept of good governance and bureaucratic reform policy. Improving bureaucracy performance can be achieved by implementing good governance. However, another argument posits the notion that bureaucratic reform can lead the way to achieving good governance. Therefore, this paper assesses the relationship between the concept of good governance and bureaucratic reform in Indonesia. The research was based on content analysis technique that analysed the relevancy of good governance criteria and content of policy document, which were supplemented by interviews. Subsequently policy analysis was done using a policy transfer lens. Research findings showed that good governance influences Indonesian bureaucratic reform policy and international organizations have played significant part in influencing the Indonesian government to adopt good governance.

The article examines the possibility and challenges of redressing graduate unemployment through parent-employer collaboration that revolves around of remuneration of pre-service em-ployment. The paper used a qualitative research design involving a review of grey literature from published articles and reports on theories and challenges of global, regional and Uganda’s youth unemployment, particularly graduate unemployment and the strategies being applied to mitigate it. Paper findings show the potential for adopting the proposal, given the benefits it is likely to generate for parents, fresh graduates, employers and the government. The proposed arrangement equips fresh graduates with practical working experience which enhanc-es job prospects; employer obtains value added from fresh graduate services at lower cost, and an opportunity to recruit the graduate as a permanent employee; the parent enjoys reduced cost incurred on spending on endless search for jobs by students. Both the government and society benefit through lower social costs due to reduced time graduates spend unemployed as well as greater contribution realized from their work. Findings make significant contribution to knowledge and practice on alleviating graduate unemployment, through parent-employer col-laboration that generates benefits for parents, fresh graduates, employers and the government

It is common knowledge that development planning at the village level is rarely based on valid and updated data. Students and lecturers in the Public Administration Department Parahyangan Catholic University, who have been working with villages in West Java Province for several decades encountered situations to support that argument. It is difficult to obtain valid and updated data to use as evidence in developing initiatives and programs for the village development. Students’ Community Development Program (Kuliah Kerja Lapangan henceforth KKL themed Universities Contribution to Village Development was initiated with the goal of improving the quality of data in rural areas (Garut District) by collecting and updating village data, developing the capacity of village government leaders and staff to collect and update village data on their own. This paper discusses three major works that the Students’ Community Development Program (KKN) themed Universities Contribution to Village Development have made. The three areas relate to 1) elaboration of the logic of the program; (2) discussion of the process of data collection and analysis of data in the three villages; and (3) discussion of output and outcomes of the program. Research action, as Lewin argues, has three goals: to advance knowledge; to improve a concrete situation; and to improve behavioral science methodology. This paper presents a case study that shows the existence of a problem in a community, and concrete actions taken to solve it through the application of knowledge acquired through Community Development Program (KKL) experience of Universitas Membangun Desa.

This paper discusses empowerment program for coastal communities in Cilincing district, North Jakarta. Basically, the program has bees relatively successful in developing coastal communities's entrepreneurship. This can be seen from the estabilishment of cooperatives and small scale enterprises in that area. But, this paper underlines that grant allocation for the fisherman is still limited. Otherwise, the merchants received the most amount of grant allocation. In other word, bias on delivering program has occurred. Furthermore, target location for this program has not been equal yet.It was concentrated on few villages only low understanding for loan scheme also became crucial problem for the program. This has pushed for bad credit in a lot of amount.

This paper aims at explaining the challenge that public relations faces in public sector organisations. This is an important topic due to the fact that public organisations in Indonesia in recent years have difficulty in gaining people's support. One of the main weaknesses of public relations practice in public sector is that they tend to apply press agentry model of public relations; a practice which tends to ignore the important of truth as the essence of information. This paper argues that in order to maintain sustainable support from the people, government has to apply appropriate public relations model. It also shows an example of how local governments in China practice appropriate model of public relations so that people' support can be obtained.

Many programs have been implemented by this project such as Competency Based Training/ Assessment Workshop; Fellowship Programs; Training Programs; and Upgrading Facilities. This paper show that MTTP have succeeded in increasing the tourism performance particularly and human resources for tourism in wider sense. However, various obstacles found this program, such as: lack of commitment in the parts of local government, insufficient, and poor motivation. These obstacles have to be tackled in order to ensure the program sustainability.

The mandate of article 18 Law 32/2004 is about the authority given to regency government by local government in managing the shoreline and resources contained, but it has to be suitable with local characteristic which one third away from province government authority area. This kinds of decentralization demands on not only an equipped government, but also government responsiveness in managing the shoreline based on justice and sustainability values for those local stakeholders whom in charge. But the obstacles were appeared such as lack of personnel, minimum budget, and poor equipment and document (P3D) in implementing shoreline decentralization. This paper explores the role taken by local politics that surely appeared in shoreline management. Refers to the results of field study that had be done in 2005 and 2007 based on qualitative research method, this paper show the comparative study between two regencies in the eastern island in Indonesia, Pangkajene Island and Konawe. Comparison between these two regencies offers three important reviews on shoreline management. It did not only reveal a contrast outlook and experience at management mechanism in shoreline, but also highlighted the varied managements and obstacles which can be very much enriching of shoreline has been triggered and increased patterns of management and important roles for local stakeholders in dealing with new obstacles in shoreline management.

This is paper aims to describe the completion of local autonomy based on local culture system in West Sumatera and Bali Province. Beside that, this paper also tries to find out the role of state which depicts state autonomy in implementation of government functions at lowest level, such as nagari in West Sumatera and Desa Pakraman in Bali.

In this context, state autonomy has been involved in fusing local culture system into modern government system so that performing of local democracy declines.

This paper evaluate the rice price stabilization policy in the province of DIY. The paper assesses the effectiveness of three policies, which include government purchase price policy (HPP), barns institutional development program and capital strengthening funds for rural economic enterprises program (DPM-LUEP), in maintaining rice price. Stability. Paper findings show that none of the three policies have been able to stabilize prices stable at the farmer level. However, of the policies, the HPP gives the greatest benefits compared to the other two policies.This is attributable to the fact that BULOG's rice procurement program helps in stabilizing rice prices by reducing the supply during harvest and increasing supply when rice price rise in the market. Some of the recommendations of this research include the need to improve BULOG performance, revitalization of collective barns, and simplification of DPM-LUEP administration and finance in enhancing the role of small-scale rural economic institutions.

The existence of social capital is really important in development because social capital plays a role to achieve sustainability development. It also applies in community development process. Community development strategy can be implemented through empowering the institution and civil society organizations. Those are form of social capital that develops in society. Bali province government has been adapting the existence of social capital through the empowerment of Pakraman village. Pakraman Village is an indigenous community that is formed on the socio-religious bound. The most common way to empower society is based on the establishment of village credit institutions (Lembaga Pengkreditan Desa: LPD) One of the LPD that shows its existence in the midst of intense competition with other financial institution is LPD Pakraman Batuaji Kawan Village in Tabanan, Bali Province. Thus, this paper is aimed to elaborate the contribution of social capital in management of LPD Pakraman Batuaji Kawan Village. The research methodology that had been used in this paper was qualitative descriptive with case study approach. Meanwhile, data collection techniques that had been used in this research were interview, observation and documentation. The result of this research show that social capital has a positive role in supporting the management of LPD such as the planning and budgeting activities, personnel recruitment process, the lending process, the process of resolving non performing loans, the process of supervision and accountability. Based on these result, the adoption of social capital in the process of community empowerment plays significance role in maintaining the community empowerment's program.

The aim of this paper is to reveal several factors why war on drugs is still adopted by The Indonesian goverment and to offer an alternative approach as a problem solver. Therefore, the paper utilizes a literature review by collecting data from books, journals, news articles, and research reports. The results indicate that some factors consist of: (a) The New Order as previous generation failed to notice the dangers of drugs; (b) Since the New Order, the government is not committed to reveal the involvement of political actors in the drug problem; (c), SBY did not show a firm attitude to the drug problem; (d), Jokowi is the product of the previous generation, the New Order, who may believe that drug issues can be solved by legal approach; (e) Political affiliation between Jokowi and Megawati at PDI-P; (f) The war on drugs is a populist policy and can not be saparated from political interests. As a result, war on drugs in Indonesia is war on young generation because the greatest victim of the policy is the lives of the young generation. To get out of this trap, the government should prevent individuals and groups from social exclusion because social dimensions frequently precede the drug issues and become a stumbling block for those who are addicted to get out of the drug problem.

This paper aims to assess the adoption of open government principles in local government development planning. The study used constructivist research design which emphasizes using theory as guidance for analyzing the problems. Interview and document study techniques were used to collect data, while NVIVO version 12 plus was used in data processing and analysis. Research results showed that there has been a decline in community participation in development planning due to the perception that there are stark differences between contents of programs during the planning and implementation phases. Transparency in development planning is implemented in all programs at the subdistrict level, while at the district prioritized programs are deliberated in closely sessions that involve local government executives and the local legislature. As regards collaboration in development planning, results showed that pursuing and projecting own respective interests rather those of the public. Increasing open government principles in the development planning process requires intensive and regular communication and coordination among stakeholders, which makes ICT a key ingredient that should be form an integral part of the design and deployment process. This research recommends further research related to open government that should delve deeper into participation and transparency concepts as components of open government principles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the economy, including the taxation sector. This tumultuous period for taxpayers and the Government can be a golden opportunity to transform the system and institutional governance to create a firm foundation for increasing tax compliance and by extension, tax revenue. This paper examines strategies that are necessary to face spate of changes and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as laying the framework for post COVID-19 reality that is characterized by sustainable tax compliance. The results of this study reached the conclusion that the basic concept of the relationship between the Government and taxpayers as a social contract or fiscal contract should underpin the three phases of the formulation of changes in tax policy. For changes to have long-term and sustainable impact, there is need to strike a balance between the three pillars in tax administration, namely, enforcement, facilitation, and trust.

The growth of youth population has now become a strategic consideration of global trends predicted by 2030. In many parts of the world, the growth of youth population is increasingly uncontrolled. According to the Central Agency on Statistics, it revealed that Indonesia's population is dominated by a productive age group that is between 15-64 years old. This condition shows that Indonesia is moving into an era of demographic dividend. However, the fact that the human development index of Indonesia is too low; Indonesia ranked 110 out of 188 countries in the world and with massive numbers of academic unemployment, as if showing the unpreparedness of Indonesia in facing demographic dividend. This paper, attempts to highlight upon; the immense impact of mistaking majors to the human resource competence. Examine the key factors of wrong majors' phenomenon, and how do implications arise when students are incorrectly selected. The research used a descriptive method; source data ascribed to field research; and study of literature. Through this research, the most striking findings are: the key factors that trigger wrong majors' phenomenon that is caused by the influence of significant person statistics, low passing grade becoming their consideration to be accepted in college; they didn’t gain any intensive preparation for going to college; the existence of consciousness upon the demands of experts, so that they preferred majors based on what the market needs not relying on their interest; and also the fears for not doing anything after graduating from high school. Mistaking majors implies towards the psychic of the college student; such as, highly vulnerable to being stressed because they are not able to adjust to the learning process.

Liberalization and privatization are often associated with global demands for termination of state interference in business. The policy often result in dispute between neoliberalism and socialism. Neoliberalism perceives state interference in economic area as bad, damaging, an inefficient to economic life. State, which conduct the operation in political power logic, is perceived less or even not give the place for the expanding of healthy market structure and competitive. While socialism perceived state as central figure of economic with the centralized planning instrument and the ownership be on the hand of state. As economic system, socialism can be understood as an economic system in which the means of production, distribution, and exchange are publicly owned and operate. Since socialism assumes state as the most representative organization, so the meaning of owned and operated by public means the power of ownership and the mode of operation be on the hand of state. As political ideology, in its connection wit the economic control, socialism believe that the state should develop the economic planning and control on market operation. This paper prove that neoliberalism and the philosophy demands for termination of state role, in the reality, suffer a kind of paradox. On one hand, it trust market excellence so much over state. But on the other hand, it requires the active role of state to return the free market idea.

The Indonesian government has been applying a wide-ranged decentralisation policy since 1999. However, many people have seen it from a very negative perspective. They view that local autonomy has brought about little kings that tend to abuse power surrendered by the central government. Local autonomy has also been misused to create discriminatory policies which disseminate primordialism. Veg few people see the local autonomy poligfrom the positive side. This paper discusses the innovation created by local governments in responding to the authority received from the central government. Some local governments have caught this opportunity to develop that improve public services to invite investors. Various cases are discussed to show that some local governments are very serious to reform their policies. However, a case study of Lebak district will be presented to comprehend the implementation deeply. Lebak is a small and poor district (kabupaten) in Banten Province that has developed Kantor Pelayanan Perijinan Terpadu (Integrated Licensing Service Office) that is expected to enhance its local econony. By showing the case of Lebak,people can learn something that can be applied in other districts.

From the centre, frontier region is seen as an area of underdevelopment that has not been seriously managed. The multidimensional crisis occuring in Indonesia is caused by --one of many-- centralised development which has been concentrated in Java and ignores frontier areas. Efforts of developing the centre in the frontier areas have significant prospect due to economic cooperation with neighbour countries. The global era characterised by technological transformation and informational network have brought the society living in the frontier areas to the global environment. Globalisation has opened up isolation enabling the decision makers to build new centres in frontier areas in accordance to international economic cooperation. This trend of regional economic cooperation, creating new centres in the areas that were previously marginalised, can be observed in the region of ASEAN. This paper discusses aspects of the trend toward regional economic cooperation and offers policy alternatives to achieve sustainable development in this region.

Need for reform in public sector should become leverage point for reform of public administration. Implementation process ofpublic administrative reform is not easy task It needs clear and directive concept related to target, strategy, approach or model selected The concepts require tools allowing them implemented easily, accessible by many people, quick, inexpensive and convenient. So, e-government may be said as the most appropriate solution. Author argues that efforts to develop e-government in public administration should be placed in true context; that is, development of e-government should be viewed as tool to accelerate implementation of public administrative reform in order to realize good governance. This paper content contain model of e-government development in context ofpublic administrative reform toward good governance. In the last part, author gives recommendation for central and local government that will develop e-government: development of e-government should be done with clear concept of e-government development related to target and strategy or approach written in a blue print or in term of lnpres No.3/2003, strategic plan of e-government, which is established considering rationality aspect and democratic process.

Act No. 5 of 1974 on the Principles of Administration in Indonesian Local Government stipulates fundamental effort for decentralization – or more commonly known as local autonomy. This analysis shows, however, that insofar the implementation of the government act encourages more centralization instead of decentralization. It means that the Central Government has been dominantly rules nearly all aspects of local government during the New Order period. It is obvious that the implementation of decentralization policy or local autonomy is mostly determined by the existing political system and structure. On the Second Stage of local (Daerah Tingkat II), there are various local or internal factors which appears to be very influential for the effectiveness of such policy implementation. A descriptive analysis of the two Second Stage of local governments (Cilacap and Kudus) indicates there are significant policy implementation differences. The very fact that there are local condition differences, specific handicaps confronted by local government, and some variance in human resources capability implies that the idea of uniformity in most of administrative procedure might not favourable for the future of decentralization and local outonomy policy. This is particularly important if we analyze all aspects related to such policy implementation. The above things do get sufficient attention in nearly all of this paper.

This paper discusses an alternative strategy to combat corruption in Indonesia. Various approaches previously adopted such as law enforcement and administrative reform are not effective enough. The result of reducing corruption is not satisfactory as evidence that level of corruption in the country remains high. Therefore, a cultural approach is needed to supplement the exiting ones. By introducing an anti corruption culture through education, we hope that people will become aware of the danger of corruption and prevent themselves from being involved in corrupt practices. This method should be adopted from early time in the kindergarten and elementary school.

The thesis of this paper is that the images of administrative quality that characterized defenses of administrative power contains dilemmas of gender. The intellectual assumptions, definitions of knowledge, and values that shape administrative thinking, and in turn the conditions of people's live are likely to remain as masculine. In either case, if the structural nature of public administration is still based on the culturally masculine qualities, advancing equal opportunity and action for both women and men, cannot be counted on in and of themselves to change the tenor of public administrative affairs.

This paper aims to study the system of social security in Indonesia. Social security represents the elementary rights of every citizen which is guaranteed by the state, like in section 27 article 2 UUD ' 45 and the laws of System of Social Security National (SJSN). Practically, the social security and social services prggram run by government framework not yet clearly with asocial policy which should be integral and continual Government has been trapped in current of liberalism and capitalism so that state role becomes progressively minimize. From 95 million labor force only 24,6 million obtain to get the social security, or newly 12% from resident amount. To overcome the weakness, resistance, and barricade in execution of social security Drstem in Indonesia, National Social Security needed to embrace the principle of government--bodies, deputizing stakeholders in this case competitor! worker, and government. Gathering and fee organizer require to be supported by openness, carefulness, accountability, and eficien. Entangling of various kind of stakeholders actor of vital importance as principal applying form of governance, the model executed by Indonesian government according should be to its society characteristic. Though financing system conducted by sharing across population, the government remain involved in the goodness in arrangement, observation, and also its financing.

The ageing society as a result of a longer life expectancy is an important phenomenon in the twentieth century. During the 1980s, the early of the first stage of long term development in Indonesia, the rate of life expectancy only reach the age of 43. It then increased sharply to 64 in the period of 1995-2000. In 1980s the number ofelderly people was 11,4 million and it is predicted that in 2000 it would upsurge to 22,2 - million. Consequently, the situation is also followed by the increasing elderly dependency ratio of Indonesian population from 10% to 13% within last 15 years. It appears, therefore, that this new trend would has important effect on the issues of demography, economy, social and public administration. This paper tries to reveal the problem of the ageing population in terms of public administration and social mechanism. Empirical study is conducted in Keboansikep as a typical industrial district, and Sriharjo as a typical rural- agricultural district. The objective of this study is to recognize the role of the family, social mechanism, nongovernmental institution and the government policy as the societal elements which have been contributing integratively in providing social security for the elderly. The theoretical basis for this kind social policy can be drawn from the concepts of equity, welfare and societal necessities. More importantly, however, there are some technical aspect of such social security which should be understood by the public decision makers.

This paper discusses decentralization and its impact on the environment. It states that decentralization has emerged environmental degradation. Since decentralization took place, illegal logging, illegal mining and many other natural resources exploitation had occurred worse than ever before. Local elites (political, bureaucracies, and industries) together with the local community engage to exploit the natural resources for increase their prosperity. This is pushed for four reason: 1) legacy from the New Order period that earn money though easy way; 2) return for their campaign fund for the elected official such governor or regent; 3) patron client relationship between the elected official and their supporters which is the former give that material resources (licenses, contract, etc) and the later give their loyalties; and 4) revenge for poverty that the have ever around as marginalized local people in New Order period. To figure out this problem, the writers argue for four alternatives: 1) enhance the legal consciousness and raise the awareness for preserve the environment; 2) increase in controlling mechanism and give strict sanction for disobediences; and involve the third parties (NGO, both local and international) for overcoming the environmental crisis.

The firs purpose of the research is to analyze the sustainable development policies and public participation to the Green Open Space's shifting function in Malang. The second is to analysis the factors that binder the policy implementation process. This paper shows that public participation in the sustainable development policies is less than optimal. Some factors that impede the policy implementation are 1) inadequate provision of GOS both in quantity and quality; 2) many weakness in the institution who manage the GOS; 3) the weak role of the stakeholders; 4) the use of open land for GOS function is not optimal yet. Some of the recommendation of this research include the need to revise UU No.24/1992; to develop guidelines for the implementation of GOS's management; to improve the campaign about the importance of GOS through "green cities movement"; to develop incentive and disincentive mechanism for increase private participation in the GOS management; and to develop GOS's pilot projects in the Malang City.

This paper attempts to assess various initiatives tailored toward strengthening bureaucratic reform at the local level. Some of the problems which characterize local bureaucracies include low professionalism, domineering influence of local government beads and politicians on key positions in the local bureaucracy. Though not new, the issue is still not accorded the attention it deserves. With respect to relations of the local government heads bureaucracy, there has emerged a tendency of diluting the bureaucratic culture, which has a become more common in the wake of the implementation of government policy in Act No. 32/ 2004 on local government, which allows direct election of local government heads. Professional bureaucracy emphasizes the importance of legal-rational system of meritocracy. Consistency of merit system should promote fair competition for all. However, the intervention of the local government executives in appointing career members of the local bureaucracy who assume structural position, has hampered efforts at improving the professionalism ideal. Worse still, incumbent local government heads have undermined the neutrality of the local bureaucracy by filling important positions with handpicked political supporters. To that end, bureaucracy in many regions is increasingly being filled with bureaucrats who share affiliations with local government heads. Inevitably, cleavages in the bureaucracy have emerged as fractions are formed that support and appose the incumbent local government head. Consequently, discrimination in treatment occurs within the bureaucracy, which culminates into the promotion and demotion of personnel on the basic of affiliation rather than merit and capability. Enhancing professionalism in the bureaucracy calls for effort to ensure that high ranking officials in the bureaucracy be free from intervention from political pressure groups or politicians officials.
