Innovation Model for Youth Empowerment Development (A Case Study in Banyumas Regency)
This study aims to develop a model for youth empowerment innovation in the context of rural development in Banyumas Regency, Central Java. The urgency of this study stems from the demographic fact that more than 52% of Indonesia’s population consists of Millennials and Gen Z, yet their participation in rural development is often hindered by limited access and a lack of a supportive ecosystem. As a strategic asset, the potential of young people needs to be harnessed through a model that integrates a multistakeholder approach, the use of digital technology, and the strengthening of socio-economic capital. This study employs a qualitative method using an in-depth case study approach. Data were collected through interviews with various stakeholders, field observations, and a comprehensive analysis of local policy documents. The main finding of this research reveals that institutional program fragmentation is the primary barrier to rural youth empowerment. To address this, the study proposes a 4-Pillar Model (capacity building, resource and capital access, a tech-based innovation ecosystem, and governance participation) driven by Pentahelix synergy and digital infrastructure to bridge the urban-rural divide. Implementing this strategic model is crucial to transforming rural youth into drivers of the local economy and achieving selfreliant, sustainable village development.

Policy Design for the Village and Sub-District Profile Application System
This study explores the effectiveness of the Prodeskel policy design as a village data governance instrument that has not yet achieved maximum utilization, despite data validity being a central pillar for accurate development planning at the grassroots level. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research dissects the implementation process and operational constraints within the Directorate General of Village Government Development through a phenomenological approach to understand existing bureaucratic realities. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders to ensure an analytical depth consistent with comprehensive public administration principles. The research findings confirm that low synchronization of policy instruments, dualism of inter-institutional roles, and limited technical competence among field officials constitute the primary obstacles to achieving an integrated data ecosystem. External factors, such as digital infrastructure deficits in remote areas, further weaken data accuracy and widen the digital divide between regions. As a policy implication, this study recommends a new policy design based on Michael Howlett’s policy instrument framework. This recommendation emphasizes policy instrument calibration, aligning the dimensions of technology, regulation, and organizational capacity coherently to create sustainable functional synergy. Furthermore, it highlights the need for strengthened oversight mechanisms and incentives for data managers at the village level to enhance work motivation and the quality of real-time data input. These insights are expected to serve as a strategic reference for the Ministry of Home Affairs in perfecting village data governance through a policy design that is more integrative, applicable, and responsive to the dynamics of digital governance in Indonesia.
Evaluation of the Management of the Licensing Service Information System (SIPPERI) in Improving the Quality of Doctor’s Practice License Services at the Palembang City Investment and Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP)
The Management of the Licensing Service Information System (SIPPERI) at the Palembang City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) has contributed to the digitization of licensing services, especially in the issuance of medical practice licenses. This study used the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model to assess the effectiveness of the system’s implementation. Data were collected through interviews with seven informants selected using purposive sampling. From the context aspect, the development of SIPPERI has answered the demands of bureaucratic reform, but the lack of understanding of information technology among medical personnel is an obstacle. From the input aspect, the digital infrastructure is quite adequate, but technical support and user training are still limited. From the process aspect, digital procedures have not been fully accompanied by optimal socialization and mentoring, thus hindering the effective use of the system. From the product aspect, SIPPERI makes administration easier, but it does not meet service time standards due to input errors and lack of technical guidance. These findings show that although SIPPERI has great potential in improving the efficiency of doctor’s practice license services, continuous improvement efforts are still needed through strengthening user capacity, increasing digital literacy, and improving the overall system to realize faster, more effective, and quality public services.

A Model of Local Policy Innovation for Integrating Urban Resilience in a Defense Perspective
Urban areas increasingly function as strategic nodes in national resilience systems in responding to multidimensional threats such as terrorism, climate change, cyber disruption, and hybrid conflict. However, in the Indonesian context, the integration of resilience and defense principles has not been systematically incorporated into local development policies. This study aims to formulate a local policy innovation model for integrating urban resilience into regional planning and governance systems. This research employs a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, examining eight global cities—Singapore, New York, London, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul, and Copenhagen—based on literature and policy document analysis. The analysis focuses on comparing spatial, technological, and social dimensions of urban resilience. The findings identify three main integration patterns: (1) spatial resilience through risk-based spatial planning and resilient infrastructure, (2) digital resilience through technology-based monitoring and response systems, and (3) social resilience through community preparedness and participation. The variation across cities is influenced by threat characteristics, institutional capacity, and technological maturity. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an operational and adaptive three-pillar policy innovation model that can be integrated into local planning instruments such as RTRW and RPJMD. This model provides practical guidance for local governments in developing risk-based urban resilience systems.
Effectiveness of Implementation of Digital Population Identity (IKD) Innovation in KTP-el Services at the Tasikmalaya City Population and Civil Registration Office
Innovation through the Digital Population Identity (IKD) application is a form of digitization of population administration services that aims to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, quality of public services and become a solution to problems in the Electronic Identity Card (KTP-el) service. The low level of IKD activation in Tasikmalaya City shows that innovation has not been effective and needs to be studied more deeply. Previous research has not examined the factors that cause innovation to be ineffective especially the level of public trust in digital security. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of IKD innovations at the Tasikmalaya City Population and Civil Registration Office. The research method uses descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, in depth interviews and documentation. The research informants were selected purposively consisting of service providers and the IKD user community. The research was analyzed using the characteristics of public sector innovation and showed that some dimensions were not optimal, especially in the aspects of relative advantage, trustworthiness and compatibility. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of IKD innovation is influenced by limited socialization, activation procedures that are not fully digital, low public trust in digital data security, limited authority and budget support at the regional level. These findings indicate that the effectiveness of public sector innovation is not only determined by the characteristics of innovation, but also by institutional factors and public trust in the implementation process. This study recommends optimizing socialization, increasing public trust and strengthening coordination between agencies as well as developing studies in more diverse contexts for future research.
Sustainable Regional Innovation Strategy in Pelalawan Regency
The sustainability strategy of regional innovation is a crucial aspect that determines whether innovation achievements can be maintained consistently from year to year. Existing studies have largely examined innovation sustainability through external prerequisites such as leadership commitment from regional heads and a conducive policy ecosystem, which have proven effective in regions with well-established governance. However, not all local governments operate under such conditions: some face limited leadership support and the absence of regulations that systematically encourage innovation. At the same time, innovation sustainability strategies from the perspective of BRIDA as the innovation coordinator remain rarely explored. This study offers an alternative by analyzing how BRIDA of Pelalawan Regency implements innovation sustainability strategies in responding to the dynamics of the Regional Innovation Index (IID) assessment during 2021-2024. One key challenge is the eligibility time limit for innovation reporting, which only covers the most recent two years, requiring continuous renewal of the innovation portfolio. This study employs a qualitative methodology with data collected through documentation of IID reports, strategic planning documents, and innovation reporting statistics. Findings reveal that BRIDA Pelalawan Regency applies four integrated strategies: independent projection analysis based on assessment weights, expansion of reporting work unit coverage, innovation mentoring, and development of existing innovations. Implementation of these strategies successfully increased Pelalawan Regency’s IID score consistently from 47.33 in 2021 to 65.70 in 2024, leading Pelalawan Regency to achieve the highly innovative predicate while maintaining second rank in Riau Province. This study provides a practical contribution as a reference for BRIDA in other regions in designing innovation sustainability strategies that are adaptive to the dynamics of national IID assessment.
The implementation of regional innovation serves as a strategic instrument to promote local governance reform and enhance the quality of public service delivery. In Indonesia, the Regional Innovation Assessment (Penilaian Inovasi Daerah/PID) was developed as an evaluation and supervisory mechanism for public sector innovation under the Ministry of Home Affairs. However, institutional restructuring following the establishment of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and the transformation of the Research and Development Agency (BPP) into the Agency for Domestic Policy Strategy (BSKDN) has generated institutional uncertainty and regulatory disharmony in the implementation of PID. This study aims to analyze institutional dynamics and their implications for the implementation of the Regional Innovation Assessment from a public sector innovation perspective. The research employs a qualitative approach based on a document-based policy study, utilizing regulatory and institutional analysis. Data were collected from statutory regulations, official government planning documents, regional innovation statistics from 2018–2023, and relevant academic literature on public innovation and institutional reform. The findings indicate that PID continues to operate as an administrative practice despite lacking explicit institutional legitimacy following organizational restructuring. The misalignment between innovation regulations, BSKDN’s mandate, and BRIN’s functions has led to fragmented governance of public innovation and may weaken the effectiveness of regional innovation development. The study underscores the need for regulatory harmonization and a collaborative governance model that clarifies institutional roles in policy formulation, research coordination, and innovation implementation to strengthen an adaptive and public value-oriented regional innovation ecosystem.
Integration of Economic Intelligence in Regional Governance
This study examines the urgency of integrating economic intelligence into regional governance as a single entity within the domestic governance system. The main problem is the suboptimal function of economic intelligence within the Directorate General of Politics and Public Administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic Indonesia’s structure and its operationalization by the Regional Government’s Kesbangpol Agency, which has implications for the performance of economic, social, and cultural resilience. This study aims to develop an adaptive economic intelligence integration model, analyze the impacts of this suboptimal function, and formulate strategies for strengthening institutional capacity. Using a qualitative-exploratory approach, data were collected through documentation studies, in-depth interviews with policy actors, and field observations, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study found obstacles to the transformation of economic intelligence, requiring systemic integration. The gap in human resource capacity also influences the process of technology adaptation and digitalization, and the need for regulations, including their synchronization and harmonization. In the context of strengthening institutional capacity, it is necessary to develop human resources with analytical competence, modernize digital infrastructure, and strengthen cross-institutional networks. Effective implementation of economic intelligence contributes significantly to evidence-based decision-making, regional economic resilience, and the institutional credibility of the Government and Regional Governments. The novelty of this study lies in the adaptive integration model of the Indonesian context, where multi-level government coordination mechanisms are more precise when accompanied by the implementation of competitive strategies in strengthening integrated institutional capacity from the Central-Regional Government. The study concludes that the successful implementation of economic intelligence is highly dependent on vertical-horizontal integration within the government structure. Therefore, it is recommended to formalize the Central-Regional economic intelligence function through the Kesbangpol Agency, develop an integrated information system, develop a sustainable human resource development program, institutionalize the Central-Regional Economic Intelligence Coordination Forum, and implement a performance-based monitoring system.
Digital transformation in public services has become an urgent necessity to enhance efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity for citizens. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Offline, Online, and Integrated Population Administration Service System (SI LAKU O2T) in North Kolaka Regency as a local innovation designed to address infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps, and geographical constraints. Using an exploratory qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with 10 key informants, this research examines experiences, perceptions, and challenges encountered in the implementation of SI LAKU O2T. The findings show that the program introduces 12 sub-innovations that combine online services, offline access, and mobile outreach, thereby expanding service coverage, reducing community costs, and increasing public trust in the local government. However, limited internet infrastructure, uneven digital literacy, and varying capacities of village officials remain major obstacles. The local government responds through hybrid service strategies, digital literacy strengthening, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure program sustainability. This study emphasizes that digitalization of public services depends not only on technology, but also on organizational readiness, social capacity, and political commitment. With continuous development, SI LAKU O2T has the potential to become an inclusive, efficient, and adaptive model for digital transformation of public services in other regions of Indonesia. This study recommends strengthening village-level capacity through budget support, digital literacy enhancement, and service standardization as practical contributions to sustaining the innovation.
Innovation and Community Roles in the Protection and Reintegration Efforts of Former Children in Conflict with the Law
This study aims to examine the role of community and innovation in supporting the social reintegration of former children in conflict with the law (CCL) in Yogyakarta. Through case studies and in-depth interviews with children in conflict with the law, correctional officers, and community representatives, the study found that community involvement in the form of peer support groups and mentoring programs plays a crucial role in helping former children rebuild social relationships and overcome stigma. In addition, the use of technology-based applications that connect former children with support services, such as counseling and skills training, has also proven effective. The study further identifies several challenges, such as a lack of inter-agency coordination and limited resources. It suggests the importance of developing more integrated programs that involve the community, government, and private sector to support the social reintegration of former children in conflict with the law.
Innovation Capacity of Village Administration
The capacity for innovation in village governance reflects efforts to bridge community welfare and social transformation. This study examines innovation from both institutional and community perspectives, emphasizing the role of social and grassroots innovation in empowering village apparatus and local communities. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research focuses on two villages in Lamongan Regency: Warukulon and Wanar. Data were collected through interviews with village officials, community-based organizations (LKD), and local service units such as posyandu. The findings indicate that institutional innovation capacity remains limited, as training and development for village officials are irregular and highly dependent on external directives. Conversely, innovation at the grassroots level, particularly through Karang Taruna, PKK, and posyandu, has shown promise in community mobilization and empowerment. Warukulon demonstrates relatively higher community innovation due to active participation since the COVID-19 pandemic, while Wanar is in the early stages of revitalizing youth engagement. This research highlights the need for sustainable training programs, institutional support, and leadership regeneration to strengthen local innovation ecosystems. These findings underline the importance of integrating both top-down and bottom-up approaches in enhancing village innovation capacity.
Filial School Innovation as a Strategy for Inclusive Education and Enhancing Local Government Performance Apparatus
The Palembang City Government strives to improve access to education for all members of society by adopting various innovations, one of which is the implementation of filial schools. To support the operations of filial schools, the Palembang City Government allocates resources including teaching staff, facilities and infrastructure, as well as funding sourced from the regional budget and support from various stakeholders. In addition, coordination with social institutions and local communities also plays a role in ensuring the sustainability of this program. The objective of this study is to analyze the combined effect of filial school innovation and infrastructure support on the organizational performance of the Palembang City Government. This study uses a quantitative research design. The independent variables are filial school innovation (X1) and infrastructure support (X2), while the dependent variable is organizational performance (Y). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents from various groups, including filial school students, parents, school principals, teachers, administrative staff, and representatives from the Education Office, Social Services Office, and Bappeda Litbang of Palembang City. The questionnaire consisted of 34 statements representing three research variables. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this study show that both filial school innovation and infrastructure support have a positive influence— both individually and jointly—on the organizational performance of the Palembang City Government. The government can enhance filial school innovation through curriculum development, teacher training, use of technology, and collaboration with parent schools and the community. In addition, the provision of supporting infrastructure and facilities for filial schools needs to be continuously improved.
As of May 2025, Ministry of Home Affairs data indicates that more than 29 local governments have yet to fully operationalize the revenue module within the National Integrated Local Government Information System (SIPD RI). Furthermore, 74% of regions continue to utilize multiple fragmented financial information systems, despite the mandatory adoption of SIPD RI mandated since early 2024. This high dependency on central government transfer funds not only reflects a lack of local fiscal potential exploration but also points to structural issues in regional revenue governance (Bappenas, 2023). An analysis of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) trends from 2021–2025 shows stagnant contributions in many regions, with averages remaining below 20% of the total Regional Budget (APBD). While the Ministry of Home Affairs’ SIPD Grand Design for 2022–2025 targets full integration between revenue, expenditure, and accounting modules, technical and regulatory hurdles at the local level persist. Despite the existence of Ministry of Home Affairs Regulations (Permendagri) No. 70 of 2019 and No. 77 of 2020 as foundations for digital financial management, the lack of technical regulations governing a national digital fiscal system architecture has resulted in fragmented, siloed local applications. This creates risks of data redundancy, inefficient recording processes, and weak oversight of PAD achievements.
Economic Dimension of Regional Innovation
This study explores the economic dimension of regional innovation through developing an integrated model of commercialization and monetization to strengthen regional fiscal autonomy (RFA). Regional innovations have been predominantly viewed from a public service perspective without considering their economic potential to reduce fiscal dependence on central government. Using a qualitative approach with a case study in Kotamobagu City, which has organized the Innovative Government Award (IGA) for five consecutive years (2020-2024), this research identifies four main model components: commercialization, valuation, calculation, and monetization of regional innovations. Findings reveal that among 165 innovations produced, the majority originated from regional agencies (74 innovations or 44.85%) and the general public (50 innovations or 30.30%), yet their economic potential remains underexploited. The economic dimension of regional innovation becomes crucial in the context of fiscal decentralization as it offers sustainable alternative revenue sources based on local strengths. The integrated model developed provides a holistic framework that addresses the fragmentation of commercialization approaches while creating systematic mechanisms to transform innovations from public service instruments into strategic revenue-generating assets. The advantage of integration lies in its ability to optimize the economic value of innovations while maintaining their social and public service functions. The theoretical contribution integrates Fiscal Autonomy Theory, Economic Innovation Theory, and Innovation Commercialization Theory within the Indonesian regional government context. Practically, this model can enhance Regional Original Revenue (PAD) through diversification of innovation-based local revenue sources. Model implementation requires strengthening human resource capacity, developing supportive regulations, and establishing a dodeca-helix-based regional innovation ecosystem.
Management Innovation in Local Government Transaction Electronification (ETPD)
Digital transformation in local government financial management has become a strategic agenda to realize transparent, accountable, and efficient governance. Local Government Transaction Electronification (ETPD) as part of the Acceleration and Expansion of Regional Digitalization (P2DD) is a crucial instrument for strengthening the digital economy at the regional level. This research aims to analyze the ETPD management innovation model in strengthening the digital economic ecosystem, identify factors influencing the effectiveness of ETPD implementation, and formulate policy recommendations for optimizing ETPD implementation. Employing a qualitative approach with policy analysis and case study methods, this research collected data through documentation studies, secondary data analysis, in-depth interviews, and observations. The analysis results indicate that an effective ETPD management innovation model consists of four pillars: strengthening regulation and inter-institutional coordination, reinforcing the government digital ecosystem, developing digital infrastructure, and enhancing public digital literacy. ETPD implementation has shown a positive trend with 87.9% of local governments at the Digital level in Semester I of 2024. However, regional disparities persist with Java-Bali recording the highest achievement (66.5%) and Nusampua the lowest (27.1%). The effectiveness of ETPD implementation is influenced by eight factors: leadership and political commitment, regulatory framework, technological infrastructure readiness, human resource capacity, banking partnerships, public digital literacy, inter-institutional coordination, and fiscal incentives. Based on these findings, it is recommended to strengthen inter-institutional partnerships, develop a comprehensive ETPD Roadmap, prioritize digital infrastructure development in frontier regions, enhance digital literacy, establish technical implementation guidelines, develop an integrated digital payment system, and implement an effective monitoring and evaluation system. implications are for Indonesia to immediately implement Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, establish a centralized data protection authority, and encourage Public-Private Partnerships to improve accountability in personal data protection. Based on these recommendations, it can be concluded that ETPD innovation plays a strategic role in strengthening the digital economic ecosystem of regional governments.
Batamoe Attraction as a Leverage for Bilibante Tourism Village Growth
Village tourism is an important element in the development of a sustainable tourism industry in Indonesia. The success of tourism village development is strongly influenced by the presence of unique attractions based on local culture, natural beauty, and social values upheld by the local community. This research will investigate the role of unique attractions, such as the Betemoe Package in Bilebante Tourism Village, in encouraging local economic growth, cultural preservation, and strengthening community social cohesion. Furthermore, some attractions, like the Betemoe Package in Bilebante Tourism Village, aim to educate tourists and offer authentic cultural and religious interactions. In addition, there has been no comprehensive research on how the integration of multi-stakeholder support, local community participation, and local wisdom-based marketing approaches can strengthen the competitiveness of tourism villages. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study approach with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The main focus of the research is on the active involvement of local communities, strengthening the role of traditional culture, and local wisdom-based marketing strategies in creating authentic and meaningful tourism experiences. The results indicate that the Betemoe Package not only offers entertainment through traditional dance arts and the reading of lontar manuscripts but also educates tourists about the values of tolerance and interfaith harmony, especially between Muslims and Hindus who coexist harmoniously. These attractions have proven to be able to strengthen the cultural identity of the community while increasing collective awareness of the importance of preserving ancestral heritage. In addition, the synergy between the village government, tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis), MSME players, and the private sector is a key factor in strengthening infrastructure, expanding promotion, and increasing the competitiveness of tourist villages. In conclusion, the development of tourist attractions based on local culture and active community participation can create a tourism ecosystem that is inclusive, sustainable, and has a real impact on the social and economic welfare of village communities.
One of the innovations developed by the Ogan Ilir Regency Government is the Information System for Monitoring Development Achievement (SICARAM), aimed at facilitating the monitoring and evaluation of planned development outcomes. This study aims to analyze the influence of SICARAM implementation on the performance of local government agencies. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach, with SICARAM implementation as the independent variable (X) and organizational performance as the dependent variable (Y). The sample consisted of 60 respondents selected using the total sampling method. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–4) comprising 16 items, which were tested for validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. The results showed that SICARAM implementation has a positive and significant effect on the performance of local government agencies in Ogan Ilir Regency. Although the implementation of SICARAM has been relatively effective, improvements in communication and bureaucratic structure are still needed. The performance of local agencies is generally adequate; however, aspects such as work quantity and timeliness require enhancement. This study recommends strengthening training efforts and simplifying bureaucratic procedures, and suggests further research to explore individual factors such as digital literacy and work motivation in the use of local information systems.
Implementation of Electronic Land Title Policy in The Context of Digital Transformation at the Bintan District Land Office
The rapid development of technology and information has driven changes in public sector services, including the adoption of digital innovations to facilitate access to public sector services. In response to these developments, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has established a policy on electronic land certificates for the public through ATR/BPN Ministerial Regulation No. 3 of 2023, which will be implemented in stages starting in mid-2024. This policy was then prioritized for 104 Land Offices, including the Bintan Regency Land Office through ATR/BPN Ministerial Decree Number 285/SK-OT.01/III/2024. The purpose of this study is to analyze the gap between the design of the electronic land certificate policy and its implementation at the Bintan Regency Land Office, as well as to map the factors that influence the implementation of electronic land certificates at the field level. This study applies a qualitative approach using primary data obtained through interviews with informants and observations, as well as secondary data obtained from journals, data, and other relevant documents. The results of the study on policy implementation show that the implementation of the electronic land certificate policy in Bintan is hampered by a top-down approach that does not take into account the readiness of electronic data in the field. Policy dissemination has not been optimal, and the quality of electronic land data remains a challenge. Factors such as leadership, interoperability, bureaucracy, and digital culture also influence the smooth running of this policy. In practical terms, the findings of this study imply the need for a more participatory policy approach in the implementation of the electronic certificate policy. Public policy innovation must be based on data so that the digital transformation that is carried out can be on target and sustainable in overcoming the real problems of digital bureaucracy in society.

The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative using phenomenological theory through interviews, observation and documentation. The theory used in this research is the Good Environmental Governance theory according to Belbase. The research results show that the government acts as a supervisor and regulator regarding environmental management and has a limited role in the implementation of the Joint Transformation Center.
Understanding Policy Innovation Instrumentation
This research explores the role of policy hackathons as an innovation instrument in public policy development through a case study of the Cimahi Innovathon Days program in Cimahi City. The background of this research is based on the need to understand how policy hackathons can produce relevant and sustainable policy solutions at the local level. The main objective of this research is to understand the context related to policy hackathons, which are still rarely discussed in practical terms in public policy case studies in Indonesia, as one of the methods in participatory public policy formulation. The methodology used is discourse analysis, which involves direct observation and interviews with the stakeholders involved. The research results indicate?that?the?implementation?of?policy?hackathons?can?be?one?alternative?for participatory policy formulation involving the general public. Additionally, focusing on the needs of citizens, responsible leadership, and measurable real-world impact are important factors in this process. The conclusion of this research underscores the great potential of policy hackathons in creating innovative solutions that can be effectively implemented at the local level. The practical implications of these findings include the importance of strengthening inter-sectoral collaboration in policy formulation and the need for ongoing evaluation of the long-term impacts of the resulting policies. This research also opens up opportunities for the development of new policy instruments that can be adopted in various other regions.

Digital population identity innovation is present as a form of digital transformation of population documents, for solutions to problems related to population documents. The IKD application is projected by the government to be around 25% of users within one year, so efforts are needed to disseminate innovation to the community for later adoption. This study aims to reveal the strategy for disseminating digital population identity (IKD) application innovations carried out by the Pekanbaru City Population and Civil Registry Office, as well as to analyze the factors that influence the adoption of IKD application innovations for the Pekanbaru City community. The research method is through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the use of the IKD application facilitates access, verification of online-based population data, which is equipped with security features to provide more effective, fast and transparent public services. The process of diffusing the IKD application in Pekanbaru City began in early January 2023 with gradual socialization starting from the Pekanbaru City government, schools, sub-district UPTD, RT/RW and levels of society through the outreach program, where the Disdukcapil directly provided an understanding of the IKD application, and was supported through mass media, such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and websites. The social structures that played a role included the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Pekanbaru City Disdukcapil, Sub-district UPTD, and all levels of society. For one year, the IKD application has been used by 8% or 61,372 users of the total population required to have e-KTP in Pekanbaru City. The implementation of the IKD application is still not in accordance with expectations, this is influenced by the lack of public knowledge of the IKD application, ease of innovation, the use of the application is not yet optimal, the application is considered complicated and often errors, and government regulations. In the future, a strategy is needed to increase public enthusiasm and involvement in using the digital population identity (IKD) application. This study is an evaluation for the government in designing strategies so that the digitalization of digital population identity applications can be realized to support better public services.
Accountability in Personal Data Protection Policy in Indonesia
This article examines the value of accountability in personal data protection policies in South Korea, Singapore and Indonesia with the main objective of providing a framework for innovation for Indonesia. This research emphasizes the comparison of innovative strategies in five aspects: defining protected personal data, mechanisms for collecting and transferring personal data, innovative mechanisms for reporting data breaches, and mechanisms for providing sanctions and compensation for data breaches. Using a qualitative method and content analysis approach to South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and Indonesia’s Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, the findings underscore the importance of accountable policy innovation to ensure the protection of individual rights and empower the institution of personal data protection authorities. The main implications are for Indonesia to immediately implement Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, establish a centralized data protection authority, and encourage Public-Private Partnerships to improve accountability in personal data protection.
Determinant Factors of Innovation Ambidexterity in Government Institutions to Improve Institutional Performance
The current issue within government institutions is the lack of efficiency and innovation in public services to enhance competitiveness. Government institutions, as public sector holders, are often perceived as less innovative compared to the private sector. However, innovation in the public sector plays a crucial role in improving efficiency, quality, and public satisfaction. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the factors influencing innovation ambidexterity in the Youth and Sports Office (Dispora), (2) to understand how the Dispora manages available resources to support innovation activities, and (3) to explore changes in resource allocation, roles and responsibilities, or technology utilization that support the implementation of innovation ambidexterity. The purpose of this research is to focus on innovation in the underdeveloped public sector, as only a few studies have examined efforts to drive performance-oriented organizational changes. This study employs a quantitative research methodology with a quota sampling technique involving 68 respondents. Data were collected from the Youth and Sports Office as the organizer of the Youth Innovation Summit and West Jawa Innovation Fellowship programs. The results of the PLS-SEM analysis indicate that dynamic balance and exploratory innovation are influenced by structural and relational models. Furthermore, exploratory innovation affects innovation ambidexterity. Thus, enhancing exploratory innovation becomes key to achieving innovation ambidexterity in the context of government institutions. The recommendations from this research provide significant contributions to government institutions in improving existing innovation programs. The Dispora can gain valuable insights and recommendations to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of related innovations.
The sustainable development program is one of the national programs which is carried out intensively based on the mandate of Presidential Regulation Number 59 of 2017 concerning Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, every region in Indonesia, starting from the province to the village, is obliged to implement this sustainable development program. However, based on SDGs data, Indonesia’s ranking among 116 countries is still low. In fact, Indonesia’s rating has decreased from 98 in 2016 to 101 in 2020. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an ideal and integrated design collaboration pattern to build a collaborative process between the government and other stakeholders. The aim of this research is to design a collaborative innovation design between the Ciburial Village Government and local entrepreneurs to support the development of Ciburial Village in accordance with the Concept of Sustainable Development. This study uses a qualitative method which is expected to provide an overview of the collaborative process of the Masagi Bersih Program carried out by the government of Ciburial Village, Cimenyan District, Bandung Regency and then analyze it using the Collaborative Governance pattern from (Ansell and Gash 2008). Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations with the village government, BPD, local entrepreneurs and the community totaling 7 persons. Based on the results of the research, it is shown that the development of collaboration patterns is emphasized on face-to-face communication processes that need to be carried out to obtain agreements that will have an impact on increasing commitment, trust, results, and understanding obtained.
Smart Village and Public Service Innovation in Endemic Times
Endemic and the incessant development of technology and information have had a new impact on governance. This paper provides evidence of how the village government is able to adjust to this. The adaptation process, although it takes a long time, can be successfully carried out. Various advantages such as effective leadership, competent village officials to technologically literate people are supporting factors for the implementation of smart villages in this village.
