Does Leadership Matter In Collaborative Governance? Cases In Banyuwangi And Kulon Progo Regency, Indonesia

In nearly all of the framework models of collaborative governance (CG), leadership is always shown as having a major and strategic role. However, specific studies that discuss leadership tend to be limited. Most of the studies on CG are more concerned with the implementation of CG as carried out through several examples of cases. This study intends to perform a precise analysis of the leadership typologies exhibited by the regents of Kulon Progo and Banyuwangi in mobilizing CG, as well as to discover similarities in the indicators that they display in serving their leadership role. This research uses the quantitative approach by referring to the theory of leadership and leadership typologies as developed by Ricard et al. (2017). Ricard distinguished between 5 leadership typologies in the public sector, encompassing transactional, interpersonal, transformational, entrepreneurial, and network governance typologies as arranged into 23 indicators. Data was obtained through a survey of 39 respondents who are Heads of Agencies who have intensive interaction with the Head of the Region. The results of this survey show that the leadership of the two Regents have a tendency to display similarities in typologies, dominated by the entrepreneurial, network governance, and transformational typologies. In the case of the two leaders, the transactional and interpersonal typologies have the lowest average value. Meanwhile, the predominant characteristics of the leadership of these two heads of the region include indicators such as taking initiative, being visionaries, showing commitment to colleagues and organizations, and lastly, being problem oriented. The results of this research may serve as a reference for other Heads of the Region in exercising leadership for collaborative governance

The results found were that the recruitment and selection policies for Cadets of the Military Academy had supported the implementation of the merit system. However, problems occurred when the policy was implemented, which ultimately resulted in these criteria not being met during the recruitment and selection process for Academy Academy Cadet

OBYEKTIVITAS DALAM PENELITIAN KUALITATIF: SEBUAH ISU DALAM PEMBUATAN KEBIJAKAN BERBASIS BUKTI

Hasil penelitian dalam bidang administrasi publik biasanya akan dijadikan dasar dalam pembuatan kebijakan publik oleh pemerintah yang disebut sebagai kebijakan berbasis bukti (evidence-based policy). Dalam kenyataannya, pemerintah (birokrat) ada yang meragukan penelitian kualitatif dan lebih memilih menggunakan beragam kecanggihan pengumpulan dan pengolahan data kuantitatif dengan alasan akan sukar untuk diperdebatkan bukan hanya pada tataran obyektivitas dari data yang ada namun juga proses melakukan penelitian itu sendiri. Pada akhirnya metode penelitian dilakukan sesuai dengan pesanan dan bukan dengan alasan kesesuaian untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian. Oleh karena itu penting untuk melihat bagaimana menjaga obyektivitas dalam penelitian kualitatif sehingga kemudian dapat dijadikan dasar dalam pembuatan kebijakan dan menghasilkan kebijakan yang lebih berkualitas. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah studi dokumen (literatur) dan pengalaman penulis sebagai tim ahli dalam beberapa kajian yang dibuat oleh pemerintah.Kata kunci: obyektivitas, kebijakan berbasis bukti, pemerintah, administrasi publi

Penggunaan Seismik Refleksi Dalam Pencarian Potensi Endapan Timah di Perairan Laut Bangka

Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang kaya akan sumber daya alam mineral salah satunya adalah timah, yang tersebar di Perairan Pulau Bangka. Secara umum timah terbentuk oleh pembentukan magma asam akibat proses peleburan kerak benua pada proses kolisi. Timah terbagi menjadi timah primer yang masih dalam bentuk batuan granit dan timah sekunder (placer) merupakan endapan timah primer yang telah mengalami pelapukan akibat proses erosi dan diendapkan di suatu tempat yang tidak jauh dari endapan timah primer. Salah satu metode untuk mengetahui potensi endapan timah adalah dengan menggunakan metode seismik refleksi, dengan pendekatan pencarian lembah sungai purba, tempat mengendapnya timah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi endapan timah sekunder (placer) berupa endapan kaksa, yang merupakan lapisan mengandung endapan timah, dengan melakukan perhitungan volume dan ketebalannya menggunakan metode seismik refleksi. Hasil pengolahan data seismik menunjukkan pola konfigurasi refleksi yang ditemukan antara lain parallel, chaotic, shingled dan hummocky. Korelasi antara data pemboran dan seismik refleksi menunjukkan endapan kaksa berada di lembah sungai purba yang terisi oleh endapan aluvial dan mineral kasiterit. Berdasarkan perhitungan yang dilakukan, didapatkan volume endapan kaksa, sebesar 1.078.054,15 m3, dengan ketebalan mencapai 5 meter.Kata kunci: Endapan Timah, Seismik Refleksi, Perairan Pulau Bangka Indonesia is an archipelago country which is rich in mineral resources, one of them is tin, that spread in Bangka Island Waters.

Regulatory impact assessment and its challenges: An empirical analysis from Indonesia

Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is a tool for improving the quality of new or modified government regulations. The absence of RIA can result in a regulation being unaccountable, non-transparent, or inconsistent. Moreover, the government will find it difficult to create policies that will benefit economic and social-welfare. In Indonesia's context, the use of RIA is just in the form of a pilot project and unsustainable both in the central and regional governments. Based on empirical research, this paper explored the existing conditions of RIA application by central and regional government in Indonesia. Moreover, this paper also analyzed the perception of the benefits and the challenges in utilizing it. The study found that RIA is still little and not optimally used in the preparation of various regulations in Indonesia both at the central and regional government levels although there are a number of benefits that would be obtained if it were used. This condition has arisen due to the lack of leader commitment, lack of apparatus knowledge of mindset and perception as well as limitations in budget, legal support, and socialization.
