SOCIAL PRACTICES IN WATER USE DRIVE VULNERABILITY IN FOREST EDGE VILLAGE COMMUNITIES IN SUMEDANG REGENCY

This research focuses on social practices of water resource use in forest fringe communities. The existence of human water needs interacts with and forms patterns of relationships, with human water forming social institutions and social institutions, and the existence of social practices that abundant water encourages social change in communities facing scarcity. Old knowledge that is maintained and the assumption that water will never run out is seen in water use habits and ignoring water conservation practices. Potentially causing water vulnerability, especially in families working as farmers and families who do not have water reservoirs. The theory used looks at the social practices of Antony Giddens. The qualitative approach with the PRA method, with observation, interview, mapping, and FGD techniques, helps map practices in water use, and then the qualitative analysis is carried out. The results of this study show that there are water groups in hamlet areas that maintain old management practices, where group members who contribute early to finding springs have “patent” rights to obtain water while living in the area. However, this right has yet to adapt to changes in physical environmental conditions, such as reduced forest land cover and changes in the social environment where the village population continues to grow. While the rules made by the “patent” group give dominance to members materially, therefore individual practice still views that abundant water will not run out, so water use tends to be wasteful. Then, the practice of agents perpetuates or maintains a habit, which means that not much effort has been made by the community to carry out preventive practices to protect water resources, as seen from the Competence, namely knowledge and skills of water use are still simple and do not have the Competence to prevent vulnerability risks caused by the water crisis. So, it has the potential to face vulnerability, especially in families that do not have large-capacity shelters and farmer groups that rely on agricultural products. Agents as transformative actors, their practices passive, recursive, and discursive practices continue to be reproduced, maintaining old patterns

TRANSFORMATION OF THE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM IN THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT

The transformation of Indonesia's procurement system has become a strategic step to improve governance's effectiveness, transparency, and accountability. In this article, we discuss the shift of the procurement system from corruption-prone manual methods to digitalization through e-procurement and e-catalog. This transformation started with bureaucratic reform after 1998, the creation of LKPP, and the implementation of digital systems such as SPSE, SiRUP, and e-catalog. Kurt Lewin created the framework of the Theory of Organizational Change, which includes three stages: unfreeze (making aware of the need for change), change (making changes), and refreeze (creating new norms). This framework was used to analyze this transformation. This model helps us understand how procurement systems are systematically changed, from finding inefficiencies to making digitalization the new standard in governance. The online content analysis method was used in this research. It combines data from digital platforms, academic reports, government documents, and online media articles. The data was analyzed using coding and interpretation methods to find key issues and evaluate how effective the changes to the procurement system were. This method enabled an in-depth understanding of how Indonesia's procurement system is changing. The results show that the transformation requires a holistic approach to ensure sustainability, including regulatory changes, the creation of a blockchain-based system, HR capacity building, and improved evaluation. By combining organizational change theory and a comprehensive methodology, the transformation will become the norm in procurement governance and help sustainable domestic economic growth.

E-GOVERNMENT IN TAX SERVICES: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM

This research aims to define and elaborate on the effectiveness of e-government in the Electronic Filing System (E-Filing) at the Tax Service Office (KPP) Pratama Pekanbaru Tampan, Pekanbaru City. The research method utilizes a qualitative approach, and descriptive analysis to elaborate on issues using the theory of e-government effectiveness according to Sigwejo & Pather (2016). This study found that the implementation of E-Government in the form of the Electronic Filing System (E-Filing System) at the Tax Service Office (KPP) Pratama Pekanbaru Tampan has not been effectively and maximally executed. This is due to many taxpayers experiencing difficulties in using the system because of inadequate socialization and training, as well as suboptimal technological facilities. Although public interest in using e-government services is quite high, infrastructure limitations and technical support hinder its usage, resulting in low public satisfaction with this service. To enhance effectiveness, improvements in facilities, socialization, training, and technological infrastructure are required to fulfill public expectations and satisfaction. Based on the analysis conducted, to enhance the effectiveness of the E-Filing System at KPP Pratama Pekanbaru Tampan, it is recommended that socialization and training programs for taxpayers be intensified and sustained, technological infrastructure be improved and enhanced, responsive technical assistance services be provided, periodic system evaluation and improvement be conducted, and feedback from taxpayers be collected and analyzed for further enhancement. The study implies that for the E-Filing System at KPP Pratama Pekanbaru Tampan to be more effective, several key areas need attention and improvement

NETWORKING THAT NOT WORKING: CHALLENGES IN INDONESIA’S MARITIME POLICY NETWORK

Countries with a vast sea area have faced great concern regarding maritime security. Indonesia, a maritime country with an enormous marine resource that contributes 2.58% to the country’s GDP, ranked second as a vulnerable country to marine threats, such as Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. This research analyzes the implementation of Indonesia’s 2021 – 2025 Maritime Policy Action Plan and how the policy network cooperates to eradicate IUU fishing. Through qualitative content analysis, several regulations and laws in line with the policy action plan were subject to the analysis and reports published by authorized governmental agencies, such as the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fishery. Based on policy network analysis of reports by ministries and institutions/agencies, sectoral ego and integration are the critical issues to curb in the policy community. The lack of an integrated system of information sharing has been a part of challenges in collaborative efforts to attain the state of a secure and safe sea. In this regard, the government must strengthen the information-sharing system in their policy network and the policy community itself to maximize efforts on the security of jurisdiction territory to eradicate IUU fishing. Negara dengan wilayah laut yang luas sering kali menghadapi permasalahan terkait keamanan maritim. Indonesia, negara maritim dengan limpahan sumber daya laut yang menyumbang 2,58% terhadap PDB negara, mendapatkan predikat sebagai negara terentan peringkat kedua terhadap ancaman kelautan, seperti Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi dari Rencana Aksi Kebijakan Kelautan Indonesia 2021 – 2025 dan melihat bagaimana jejaring kebijakan bekerja untuk ‘memerangi’ IUU fishing. Melalui konten analisis kualitatif, beberapa regulasi dan undang-undang yang sejalan dengan rencana aski kebijakan dan laporan-laporan yang dipulikasikan oleh instansi pemerintah yang berwenang, seperti Badan Keamanan Laut dan Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan, juga digunakan untuk dianalisis. Berdasarkan analisis pada jejaring kebijakan dalam laporan-laporan yang dipublikasikan kementerian dan institusi/lembaga, ego sektoral dan integrasi memiliki peran yang penting dalam pencapaian rencana aksi kebijakan. Kurangnya sistem pembagian informasi yang terintegrasi menjadi bagian dari halangan dalam bekerja sama untuk mencapai keadaan laut yang aman. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, pemerintah harus meningkatkan sistem berbagi informasi dalam jejaring kebijakan dan policy community-nya sendiri untuk mengoptimalkan upaya dalam pengamanan wilayah yurisdiksi dalam rangka pemberantasan IUU fishing
