GOVERNMENT MARKETING (Gov-Mark 9Ps): Adaptation of Public Sector Marketing Model to City Appearance Branding Policy

This research focuses on the application of public sector marketing in the smart branding policy in Depok City, West Java Province. The main objective of this research is to analyze public sector marketing on smart branding policies with a focus on city appearance branding. This research is based on public sector marketing theory, specifically the 7Ps marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Physical Evidence, Process) from Kotler and Lee, Booms and Bitner, as well as city appearance branding theory from Ahmadjayadi and Kavaratzis. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using NVivo 14 software to identify patterns and themes. The results showed a gap in public sector marketing in city appearance branding in Depok City, which resulted in a decline in the city's image. However, there are findings of 2 (two) important things that affect the success of public sector marketing besides the 7Ps, namely participation and political will. Participation is in the form of community involvement in planning, implementing and monitoring policy products so that people feel ownership and pride, as well as political will related to leadership, authority and resource allocation. In this research, a  new concept is found, where when the concept of public sector marketing crosses the formal object of government science (authority, government relations, services), an adaptation of the concept into government marketing (Gov-Mark 9Ps) is born, which includes Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Physical Evidence, Process, Participation and Political Will in government relations. In conclusion, a more structured and adaptive government marketing model, especially in the city appearance branding policy, is needed to improve the city's positive image and public trust

GOVERNMENT POLICY ON SETTLEMENT RELOCATION: A REVIEW OF ITS EVOLUTION AND IMPACT ON INDONESIA

Government policies concerning residential relocation are pivotal in urban development, disaster management, and socio-economic transformation. This policy is frequently enacted in Indonesia in response to environmental disasters and urban expansion, yet its effects on the impacted communities remain contentious. This study intends to examine housing relocation policies in Indonesia using a scientometric approach to discern research trends, identify literature gaps, and assess the socio-economic and psychological effects on relocated communities. This study examines the implementation of relocation policies and the factors affecting their success through an analysis of various studies from the Scopus database. The analysis indicates that relocation frequently results in social upheaval, psychological distress, and economic difficulties for the impacted communities. In comparison to global practices, Indonesia's policy approaches continue to encounter obstacles regarding community engagement and the preparedness of supporting infrastructure. Consequently, it is imperative to implement more inclusive and sustainable evidence-based policies to mitigate adverse effects and improve community welfare. This research aims to furnish policymakers with insights for the formulation of more effective relocation programs by thoroughly examining social, economic, and psychological dimensions

UNDERSTANDING THE NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND URBAN POVERTY: DOMINANT DISCOURSES IN ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS

The purpose of this study is to examine recurring themes in publications on the relationship between urban poverty and climate change. CiteSpace and RStudio software are utilised in this study’s bibliometric analysis to retrieve articles from the Scopus database on the relationship between urban poverty and climate change. CiteSpace and RStudio tools were utilised to analyse the data and create visualisations, examining research patterns and topic developments in the areas of urban poverty and climate change governance. The research results identified 13 clusters, with the largest cluster being "informal urban settlements" which had 73 members and a silhouette value of 0.824. This settlement is labeled as an informal urban settlement by LLR, a case study by LSI, and discipline (3.73) by MI. Although they contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions, people experiencing poverty are the group that is most affected, according to Campbell-Lendrum, the author of the mentioned article. Due to the rapid economic growth and concurrent urbanisation of developing nations, cities in these regions will be more susceptible to the health risks associated with climate change while also contributing to a growing number of issues. Scholars have not focused on the relationship between the impact of climate change and urban poverty because the keywords linking the two issues are not addressed in this study, which makes it intriguing

INDONESIAN DEMOCRACY PROMOTION: Between Normative and Strategic Commitments

Indonesia’s reasons to launch democracy promotion through the Bali Democracy Forum (BDF) in 2008, and its continued efforts in the future, are guided by three commitments: strategic commitments, normative commitments, and mixed commitments. Viewing democracy promotion as a foreign policy enables us to advance the understanding of the motives, reasons, and rationality of a country like Indonesia in supporting democracy. The existing debates on models, mechanisms, and effects of democracy promotion tend to ignore the salience of reasoning behind the initiatives of democracy promotion. Understanding the reasonings and motives of democracy promotion would help us to better understand why certain models and mechanisms are selected

GOVERNANCE INNOVATIONS IN URBAN PLANNING: LEVERAGING SMART CITY TECHNOLOGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN METROPOLISES

Metropolitan cities in Southeast Asia face significant challenges in achieving sustainable development amidst rapid urban growth. Governance innovations, leveraging smart city technologies, have emerged as potential solutions to address resource management issues and improve urban environmental quality. These technologies offer opportunities to improve efficiency and transparency in urban governance, but their implementation faces challenges such as infrastructure readiness and multi-stakeholder collaboration. This study aims to explore the impact of smart city technologies on sustainable development and evaluate the challenges and opportunities faced in their implementation in metropolitan cities in Southeast Asia. The research method used is a qualitative approach by collecting data from literature studies and relevant previous research. The collected data will be processed to identify patterns and relationships between smart city technologies and urban management. The results show that smart city technologies have significant potential in reducing carbon emissions, improving environmental quality, and increasing socio-economic welfare. However, the success of their implementation depends on the readiness of infrastructure and the collaborative capabilities of the government, private sector, and communities. Challenges such as limited telecommunication networks and financing need to be overcome so that the benefits of the technology can be optimally felt. Inclusive and sustainable implementation is essential to achieving sustainable development goals. Therefore, careful collaboration and planning are needed to ensure that smart city technologies can contribute positively to the growth of metropolitan cities in Southeast Asia

INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT OF POLITICAL PARTY INSTITUTIONALIZATION INDEX: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

Several qualitative studies on party institutionalization done previously in Indonesia have not provided measurement instruments to asses the degree of party institutionalization comprehensively. The purpose of this study is to complement and strengthen the analysis of party institutionalization, which has been analyzed before. By using quantitative approach with the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) technique, the authors elaborated the four dimensions of party institutionalization by Randall and Svasand into several sub dimensions-Subsub dimension, variable and indicators which are relevant to Indonesia political parties. The authors then validated the instrument constructed by content validity method using expert judgement which is still on going. Therefore, as the preliminary study, the instrument provided here is still need further improvement by forming a construct that will perfect the entire CFA method and comprehensively produce the whole instrument of political party institutionalization index.

COMMUNISM AND DE-COMMUNIZATION: STUDY OF THE RISE AND COLLAPSE OF COMMUNISM IN INDONESIA AND UKRAINE: A COMPARISON

It is interesting to observe that communism in both countries had received comprehensive support during its revival but ended in destruction in Indonesia and Ukraine, which used to be countries that had the ideology of communism and later denounced communist regimes and banned propaganda of its symbols. This study wants to compare the existence of communism in Indonesia and Ukraine by referring to aspects of ideology and people's acceptance, forms and ideologies adopted by the two countries, figures who propagated it, supporting organizations, and the collapse of communism in Indonesia and Ukraine. This study uses a qualitative method by prioritizing library research in data collection, which then analyses and explains the meaning of the data or interprets it as accurately as possible

POST POPULISM: AN END-OF-SERVICE JOKOWI’S POLITICS FOR FAMILY

Populism emerges as an antithesis to government elitism amidst the crisis of democracy. Some experts also note that populism will also create a new elite for the government itself. Some countries show that populism is also the beginning of authoritarianism, such as Poland. This research shows that the same thing happened in Indonesia at the end of Joko Widodo's administration. Through the theoretical approach of Dynastic Politics and Populism, this paper explains that Jokowi built his dynasty through populism, brought Indonesia towards an authoritarian state, and brought democracy to a decline. Jokowi did so through constitutional means so that his dynasty could be democratically legitimized. Gibran was able to run for Vice President with Prabowo Subianto after his uncle, Anwar Usman, the chief judge of the Constitutional Court, granted a motion to change the minimum age of candidacy. Previously, Kaesang managed to become the chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party, which also supports Gibran. Meanwhile, in 2020, Bobby Nasution also managed to win the election in Medan as Mayor. Some parties considered the election to be forced. Jokowi is considered one of the actors who brought Indonesia towards authoritarianism

LEVEL OF DIGITALIZATION OF INDONESIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT THROUGH LITERATURE REVIEW: CASE STUDIES OF SAMARINDA CITY AND BALIKPAPAN CITY

Digital technology has become a certainty in the government development agenda. Currently, the presence of digital government is considered the final point of achievement in e-government development. So far, many digital government development initiatives have been carried out at the local government level. Still, there has not been any research that examines the extent to which digital government development has been carried out at the district/city level using a variable approach to the digital government evolution classification. This research is to fill the void. This research uses secondary data from literature publications of scientific articles related to digital government in the two cities, namely Samarinda City and Balikpapan City. The search for data related to digital government uses the Google Scholar database as a data source. The data search stage is carried out using the Publish or Perish software to classify the resulting publications based on the theme's relevance. Research findings show an increasing research trend and continue to fluctuate every year. The focus of the issues and dominant themes presented have provided new information and understanding regarding how digital governance in the two cities has been implemented so far. Furthermore, the findings of this study also show that, in general, the level of evolution of digital government in both towns in Samarinda City and Balikpapan City has existed in the four available evolutionary stages. Still, some steps are dominant, and others are not dominant
