Many countries, as well as several regions in Indonesia, are adopting digital government with the urgency that this approach is helpful as a bridge to good governance. However, more examination is needed to see both the opportunities and obstacles of digital government by assessing cases at the local level. This research analyses the potential and challenges of developing digital government locally with a case study in Central Sulawesi Province. The region was selected for analysis because Central Sulawesi has developed the necessary telecommunications infrastructure and internet access. The study relies on online research methods to collect data and information via the internet and other digital technology. This study employs NVivo 12 Plus for analysis. The findings of this research reveal that Central Sulawesi has great potential in developing digital government, such as optimising data management, accelerating administrative processes and increasing citizen involvement. However, the study also identifies challenges, such as poor access to digital infrastructure in rural areas and limited digital skills among government employees. Therefore, strong efforts are needed to expand the reach of internet access, improve digital skills and increase citizen participation in the development of digital government. This research provides an in-depth understanding of the potential and challenges of developing digital government in Central Sulawesi as well as relevant policy recommendations to increase digital adaptation at the local level.

The Jayapura City Government has carried out various activities to regulate and control street vendors in the city. These efforts have had an impact on reducing conflict between the Civil Service Police Unit and street vendors. This shows that the city government has to some extent met the expectations of street vendors. The aim of this research is to analyze the implementation of policies regarding street vendors in Jayapura City. The research was conducted in Jayapura City, with street vendor informants. Data is collected through observations, interviews and document studies, and analyzed and finally draws conclusions. Research findings show that the implementation of structuring and controlling street vendors in Jayapura City began with regional regulation number 14 of 2001. In addition, street vendors believe that policy implementation focuses more on structuring rather than controlling. The city government has succeeded in creating a clean, orderly, beautiful, comfortable and safe environment for street vendors' businesses. They have also established integrated arrangements for street vendors that are in line with sustainable spatial planning, while increasing community participation in organizing and coaching them. However, it was found that this policy was still unable to improve welfare through developing informal sector trading activities for street vendors.
