Delila Putri Sadayi — 2025-12-05

This study aims to analyze the development of democratic and bureaucratic theories that occur in developed and developing countries. The author identifies this research by analyzing journal articles that are indexed by Scopus as journals with reputable and accountable research outputs. The Scopus database was used as data in this study. This study uses a comparative qualitative method of analysis by comparing documents published in developed and developing countries. The results of this study show that; 1) The development of research related to democracy and bureaucracy based on the Scopus database has decreased significantly in 2017-2020, increased in 2021 and decreased again in 2022. 2) The predominance of research related to democracy and bureaucracy occurs in the United State, where the country is a full-fledged democracy. 3) The connectedness of the study during 2015-2022 is divided into 8 clusters, each cluster displays a comparison of countries with the interconnectedness between countries involved in the research. 4) The high weberianess of the state bureaucracy is due to the professional public administration before democracy combined with electoral competition and non-ethnic politics. Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan are examples. Argentine hyper-presidentialism exacerbates top-down politicization of public administration and personalist patronage

Naufal Setiawan — 2025-12-05

The Department of Environment of Serang City is a governmental institution that plays a vital role in maintaining environmental sustainability within the Serang City, Banten Province, Indonesia area. The policy foundation for Public Information Disclosure is established through the Mayor's Decree No. 042/Kep.90-Huk/2022 regarding the appointment of the PPID (Information and Documentation Management Officer) to implement mechanisms according to the mayoral regulation and national standards. In implementing this program, several issues were identified, particularly in human resources and program socialization. The lack of competent human resources has resulted in the department’s website not being regularly updated, while poor socialization efforts have led to low public visitation to the site. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of the Public Information Disclosure Policy in the Department of Environment of Serang City. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted using Sugiyono’s analysis model. The results show that the policy program has not been running effectively due to insufficient qualified human resources and the lack of adequate socialization to the public. As a result, public engagement with the department’s website, which contains essential information, remains low.

Irma Gustiani — 2025-12-05

The Indonesian government promotes economic acceleration through National Strategic Projects (PSN), with emphasis on infrastructure development and export competitiveness. The Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, established in 2015, represents a tourism-based SEZ with strategic potential for sustainable economic development. This research evaluates the implementation of tourism SEZ policy using Leo Agustino's policy evaluation model, which assesses five dimensions: human resources, institutional capacity, infrastructure and technology, financial support, and regulatory framework. The study employs qualitative descriptive research. Several implementation problems exist, including discrepancies between planning and implementation, underutilized public facilities, investment realization of only 3.42% of the Rp 92.4 trillion target, and low employment absorption with only 4,403 workers from the target of 85,000. Despite significant progress in the tourism sector, policy implementation requires stronger inter-sectoral collaboration, community involvement, and consistent regulatory and infrastructural support to achieve sustainable regional development.

Implementasi Kebijakan Rencana Aksi Percepatan Penurunan Stunting di Desa Sinarjaya Kecamatan Mandalawangi Kabupaten Pandeglang

Annisa Nurfadillah — 2025-12-05

Stunting remains a national problem that requires serious attention, including in Pandeglang Regency. The Pandeglang Regency Government issued Regent Regulation Number 61 of 2022 concerning the Action Plan for Accelerating Stunting Reduction as a strategic effort to reduce stunting rates. However, in Sinarjaya Village, Mandalawangi District, implementation still faces obstacles such as poor public understanding of the policy's objectives, increasing stunting rates, and poor communication and transparency within the village government. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Action Plan for Accelerating Stunting Reduction in Sinarjaya Village, Mandalawangi District, Pandeglang Regency. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach through interviews, observation, and documentation validated using source triangulation techniques. The results showed that policy implementation has been carried out through specific and sensitive nutrition interventions such as supplementary feeding (PMT), clean water provision, and nutrition education. However, implementation has not been optimal due to limited human resources, ineffective coordination between implementers, and low levels of community education. Improved cross-sectoral coordination, implementer capacity, and communication strategies are needed to make the program more effective and sustainable.
