Saddam Rassanjani — 2026-06-30

This study aims to analyse the development of scientific literature related to creativity and innovation in the public sector over the past decade (2015–2024) using a bibliometric approach. Following a PRISMA-guided screening procedure, a final corpus of 244 articles was obtained from the Scopus database and analysed with VOSviewer software to map publication trends, the most frequently used keywords, the most productive authors and institutions, and patterns of international collaboration. The analysis results show a significant increase in the number of publications, primarily centred on e-government, digital innovation, and public service delivery. Authors and institutions from European countries, especially the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, lead scientific production in this field. The keyword analysis also reveals a shift in research focus from technological aspects to collaborative dimensions and innovative governance. In the Indonesian context, the results of this study demonstrate the importance of strengthening institutional capacity, bureaucratic leadership, and an adaptive innovation ecosystem to drive public sector transformation. This research makes a valuable contribution to the development of public innovation theory and provides an empirical basis for formulating evidence-based policies relevant to local and global needs.

Recruitment of Persons with Disabilities (PWD): a Systematic Literature Review

Muhammad Ersan Pamungkas — 2026-06-30

This study provides a systematic literature review examining the recruitment of persons with disabilities (PWD) across diverse national and organizational settings. It synthesizes theoretical developments from the medical, social, human rights, and capability models of disability, critically interrogating how these inform both policy and practice in recruitment and workplace inclusion. Drawing from recent empirical studies–2025), the review identifies persistent challenges, such as legal-practice gaps, attitudinal biases, inaccessible systems, and intersectional disadvantages experienced by PWD—while also highlighting emerging evidence-based strategies like inclusive recruitment frameworks, reasonable accommodations, and multi-level policy reforms that foster equitable labor market access. The article underscores that genuine inclusion demands coordinated action from policymakers and organizations, rigorous measurement of outcomes, and intersectional, context-driven approaches rooted in justice and human rights. Ultimately, it concludes that recruiting PWD is not only a legal and ethical imperative but also a strategy for organizational excellence, innovation, and sustainable, inclusive growth.

Digital Innovation in Port Service Governance: Implementation of Indonesia Shipping Agencies Association Policy in Southeast Sulawesi

Sarinah Sarinah — 2026-06-30

Digital port governance innovation in archipelagic regions frequently faces challenges of institutional fragmentation and infrastructure gaps, meaning performance evaluations must extend beyond narrow economic metrics. This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze the implementation of the Indonesia Shipping Agencies Association (ISAA) policy in supporting port service digitalization in Southeast Sulawesi, identify policy implementation challenges, and examine the role of digital governance in improving service performance utilizing a Collaborative Digital Port Governance Framework. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with eleven informants representing service providers, service users, and socio-ecological stakeholders, alongside field observations and document analyses of performance records from 2022–2024. The findings reveal that Inaportnet integration successfully reduced administrative processing times from hours to minutes and drove a 24.5% transaction volume growth by 2024. Crucially, alongside logistical acceleration, digital transparency enhances governance functions and ecological enforcement by mitigating carbon footprints through minimized vessel idling and enabling trace-backed maritime waste monitoring. However, network instability, physical facility constraints, and uneven digital literacy remain primary obstacles in policy implementation. This study recommends integrating real-time carbon footprint tracking modules into the digital platform, enforcing pre-arrival digital logging for ship-generated waste management, and expanding multi-sectoral coordination to include environmental authorities to secure long-term socio-ecological resilience.

Institutional Dynamics in Sustainable Food Crop Land Protection (LP2B) Implementation in Bandung Regency, Indonesia

Muhammad Andi Septiadi — 2026-06-30

The rapid conversion of paddy fields in Bandung Regency, Indonesia, threatens regional food security and challenges the implementation of the Sustainable Food Crop Land Protection (LP2B) policy. This study examines the institutional dynamics influencing LP2B implementation using the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through document analysis, in-depth interviews with ten key informants, two focus group discussions (FGDs), and field observations conducted in five purposively selected villages: Sugihmukti, Jelegong, Bojongsari, Sumbersari, and Banjaran Wetan. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal distinct institutional dynamics across the five villages. Jelegong and Bojongsari experience stronger land conversion pressure driven by urbanization and land market expansion, whereas Sumbersari and Banjaran Wetan face greater challenges related to irrigation limitations. Sugihmukti demonstrates relatively stronger community participation in farmland management but remains vulnerable to market-driven land conversion. LP2B implementation is constrained by weak inter-agency coordination, limited village administrative capacity, inadequate policy dissemination, ineffective incentive mechanisms, and insufficient irrigation infrastructure. Conversely, active farmer groups, village regulations, and local government initiatives provide institutional opportunities to strengthen farmland protection. The study highlights that effective LP2B implementation depends not only on formal regulations but also on the interaction between institutional capacity, local governance, and stakeholder collaboration. These findings contribute to the literature on agricultural land governance by demonstrating how institutional dynamics shape the implementation of farmland protection policies in peri-urban regions

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation in Public Service Delivery in Bangladesh: Prospects and Obstacles

Md Nahidul Islam — 2026-06-30

This article explores the implications for the principles of Digital Era Governance (DEG) and the proposed third wave of digital transformation in Bangladesh as a result of the nation's digital transformation over the past decade and the growing application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public services. It is a qualitative descriptive study that features a PRISMA systematic literature review of 2010–2026 peer-reviewed and selected contextual studies, thematically coding evidence across five service domains (health, education, land, finance, and e‑governance) for reintegration, needs‑based holism, digitization changes, and algorithmic augmentation/accountability. The review identifies strong but uneven progress on digitization; selective advances in needs-based holism; and only incipient reintegration, with AI deployments remaining a set of fragmented pilots plagued by digital divides, infrastructural gaps, inadequate data protection and cyber security regimes, skills shortages, institutional fragmentation, politicized regulation, and reliance on foreign technologies. The article adds to DEG by highlighting the legal‑political safeguards, intermediary actors, and technology sovereignty as aspects of third‑wave governance in the Global South. In practical terms, it suggests that inclusive public value through AI in Bangladesh can only be realized through co‑sequenced investments in rural connectivity, data and identity infrastructure, capacities of civil‑service and local intermediary organizations, rights‑respecting data‑AI governance frameworks and an independent algorithmic accountability mechanism, and provides a grounded roadmap for policymakers and a transferable framework for other lower‑middle‑income nations.

Food Tourism: Authenticity and Local Development Evidence from Pujon Kidul Village, Malang Indonesia

Ardiyansah Ardiyansah — 2026-06-30

This study examines how local culinary practices support sustainable tourism development in Pujon Kidul Tourism Village, Malang Regency, Indonesia, by analyzing the interrelationship among authenticity, community empowerment, and environmental sustainability. It addresses the underutilization of local culinary assets for sustainable tourism development. A qualitative case study was conducted and supplemented by a descriptive visitor feedback survey involving 100 visitors selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with culinary entrepreneurs, community leaders, tourism village managers, local government representatives, and tourists, visitor feedback forms, and document analysis. The findings show that authentic local taste was the most frequently reported reason for revisiting the village, identified by 82% of respondents. Culinary authenticity is maintained through locally sourced ingredients, inherited recipes, rural dining settings, and cultural storytelling. Community participation, cooperative coordination, capacity building, and local governance enable these cultural resources to generate shared economic benefits, while organic sourcing, waste management, composting, and reduced use of single-use plastics support environmental sustainability. The study proposes a Sustainable Local Culinary Development Model that explains the interdependence of cultural authenticity, community empowerment, and environmental responsibility in an agricultural-based tourism village. The model offers an adaptive framework for rural destinations seeking to develop food tourism without separating economic benefits from cultural continuity and ecological stewardship. Sustainable local culinary development therefore requires cross-sector collaboration, participatory governance, and sustained protection of local resources.

Digital Technology Integration for Climate Resilience In Coastal and Island Local Governance of Developing Countries: a Systematic Literature Review

Dina Dina — 2026-06-30

Local governments in developing countries face mounting challenges from climate variability, particularly in coastal and island territories where conventional service-delivery mechanisms struggle to keep pace with emerging environmental risks. Digital technologies—geospatial systems, IoT sensing, remote sensing, and analytics platforms—offer pathways for strengthening local administrative and environmental-management capacity. This systematic literature review examines how integrated digital technologies are deployed to support climate resilience in coastal and island settings relevant to local governance across developing and emerging economies. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a Scopus search retrieved 577 records (2023–2025); after title/abstract screening, 144 records underwent full-text eligibility assessment, and 35 studies meeting transparent inclusion criteria (HIGH methodological quality, integration of at least two technology types, and an explicit coastal or island setting) were included in the final qualitative synthesis. Rather than pooling heterogeneous outcomes into a single effect size, this review applies narrative synthesis and structured vote-counting, which is appropriate given the diversity of study designs, technologies, and outcome measures. The synthesis shows that technology integration clusters around four recurring patterns—IoT/sensors with remote sensing, AI/ML with digital platforms, remote sensing/GIS with data analytics, and digital platforms with analytics. Coastal settings dominate (25 of 35 studies) over island settings (10 of 35), and adaptation is the most common resilience focus (19 studies). The review identifies recurring enablers (geospatial monitoring capability, multi-source data integration) and persistent barriers (digital inequality, fragmented institutional data, and limited local technical capacity). The evidence base is descriptive and heterogeneous; findings should be read as patterns and directions rather than as pooled quantitative effects.

Public Participation and Local Government Readiness in Building Function Certificate (SLF) Services: a Comparative Study of Malang Regency and Batu City

Bambang Diana — 2026-06-30

This study aims to analyze community participation and local government readiness in the management of Building Functionality Certificates (SLF) through the Building Management Information System (SIMBG), using a comparative multiple-case study approach in Batu City and Malang Regency.The research applies a qualitative method with data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observation, and documentation. A total of 11 informants were involved, consisting of representatives from local government agencies (DPUPR and DPMPTSP), as well as building owners/applicants and technical consultants to ensure balanced perspectives.The findings reveal that community participation has increased gradually due to digital service expansion and active socialization programs. However, participation remains constrained by limited public literacy, complex technical requirements, and system disruptions in SIMBG. Meanwhile, local government readiness is reflected in adaptive service strategies such as mobile services, technical assistance, and offline alternatives during system failures.The comparative analysis shows that Batu City emphasizes adaptive outreach strategies due to geographical challenges, while Malang Regency focuses on service stability and institutional efficiency. The study highlights that digital public services (SIMBG) simultaneously enhance access but also introduce new administrative challenges.This research contributes to the development of digital public service governance and participatory policy implementation, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between government, communities, and stakeholders in achieving safe and sustainable building management.

Comparative Studies Between Indonesia and Philippines Conditional Cash Transfer Policy: an Integrative Literature Review

Astrid Fernanda — 2026-06-30

Conditional cash transfer (CCT) interventions are prominent poverty-reduction instruments in Southeast Asia, yet systematic knowledge of the mismatch between design and reality remains insufficient. This integrative literature review analyzes 90 peer-reviewed articles comparing the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) in Indonesia and the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in the Philippines. Based on a design-meets-reality model, the review studies consistency between design assumptions, implementation capacity, and contextual conditions. Findings indicate a systematic design-reality gap due to three theoretical shortcomings: transfer adequacy assumptions, complementarity assumptions, and a lack of behavioral change assumptions, which poorly address the beneficiary agency's multi-sectoral integration demands. The two programs operate under different institutional structures, which creates heterogeneity in implementation. Results show that CCT's effectiveness is mostly mediated contingently rather than deterministically by indices of implementation fidelity, supply factors, and situational conditions such as geographic marginality, disaster shocks, and conflict zones. Policy solutions to PKH involve realigning transfer adequacy, integrating complementary services, and reforming coordination, whereas 4Ps priorities involve lessening fragmentation, integrating health and nutrition, and enhancing transparency for recipients.

Institutional Synergy in Village-Based Tourism Diversification: Governance Challenges in West Manggarai, Indonesia

DARMANTO Darmanto — 2026-06-30

Tourism development in West Manggarai Regency remains highly dependent on Komodo National Park as the region’s flagship destination, creating economic vulnerability and limiting the development of alternative tourism areas. This study examines the contribution of institutional synergy in advancing the diversification of village-based tourism in West Manggarai, Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative case study approach focusing on Komodo National Park, Labuan Bajo, and Liang Dara Village. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 19 informants, focus group discussions, field observations, and analysis of national and local policy documents. The findings indicate that tourism diversification remains limited due to fragmented institutional authority, weak cross-actor coordination, uneven tourism human resource capacity, limited accessibility, and insufficient integration of promotion strategies for non-Komodo destinations. Despite these challenges, Liang Dara Village demonstrates potential for developing nature-based, cultural, and handicraft tourism as part of integrated tourism packages. The study concludes that tourism diversification requires stronger institutional synergy among local government, the Labuan Bajo Flores Authority Agency (BPOLBF), village governments, tourism awareness groups, communities, and tourism businesses through institutionalized coordination, capacity strengthening, and integrated promotion strategies. This study contributes to tourism governance literature by highlighting the importance of institutional synergy in supporting tourism diversification in conservation-based destinations. Practically, the study recommends the establishment of formal coordination platforms among local government, BPOLBF, village governments, Pokdarwis, communities, and tourism businesses, alongside village capacity-building programs and integrated regional promotion strategies for non-Komodo destinations.
