http://iapa.or.id/ejournal/pgr/article/view/863
<p>The urgency of this research was identified from the ambitious new capital city (IKN) development project. This research aims to respond to this issue by studying the development plan. The method chosen is qualitative with a thematic analysis approach. The research data source comes from the official government website by searching official documents. The analysis tool that is maximized in data coding is Nvivo 12 Plus. This study mapped three critical themes in the IKN development plan, including the principles of development of the new capital city (IKN), the position and specificities of the new capital city (IKN), and the government's strategic efforts. In general, the IKN development theme focuses on an Indonesia-centric development orientation, development, and adaptation to the use of renewable technology and the clean technology industry for more environmentally friendly mobility and utilities, as well as accelerating the transformation of the Indonesian economy. This idea requires a government response by developing supporting infrastructure, including budget, governance, bureaucracy, and resources, and maintaining the social situation in development areas. This study is of academic interest because it provides insight into the principles and strategies underlying the development of Indonesia's new capital city (IKN), contributing to scientific discourse on sustainable development and government initiatives.</p>Anirwan AnirwanA.

http://iapa.or.id/ejournal/pgr/article/view/841
<p>This research examines the central government's facilitation to foster the resilience of MSME actors through capital financing, namely the People's Business Credit (KUR) program. The implementation of capital assistance through KUR remains problematic, especially the accessibility. The main objective is to analyse the problem situations and dynamics of micro-business capital and provide recommendations in the form of an adaptive and innovative policy construction model to the government. This research utilises the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) perspective, which can transform a complex, unstructured problem into a more structured problem situation and build a conceptual model that fits the context of the existing problem. The results indicate that the primary problem is the dominance of the KUR program’s policy control by the central government, which complicates capital accessibility, especially for micro businesses, and limits the authority of local governments. The proposed conceptual model focuses on thinking across capabilities, which allows the adoption of thoughts, opinions, and ideas outside the inherent cultural framework to create innovative and adaptive policy outcomes. The two main dimensions of the model application are delegated task and authority, which is the power to delegate and provide insight or the ability to produce innovative and adaptive thinking. This resulted in two recommendations for the mandate mechanism to local governments, namely (1) authorising local governments to make recommendations for business status based on mapping to provide a guarantee for micro-businesses (2) the authority of local governments to work with banks to facilitate the distribution and bureaucratic management of KUR financing to micro businesses.</p>Dina SuryawatiNurussyamsil HidayahHermanto Rohman

http://iapa.or.id/ejournal/pgr/article/view/901
<p>The research regarding women in disaster policy discourse received attention from scholars and policymakers as the current leading international disaster policy had a shortfall in mentioning women’s rights. Although many studies have deliberated how women engage with disaster, research that systematically maps how the literature regarding women in disaster policy develops has not yet been conducted. Per the result through the bibliometric mapping, the 58 pieces of literature included by the PRISMA (Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework are clustered into health, environment, economic, and socio-political contexts. The discourse discussion revolves around women’s vulnerability, capacity and capability, and strategy and policy initiatives. The study contributes to the literature by mapping the research trajectory regarding women in the disaster risk reduction policy framework following the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 establishment. A recommendation model of the disaster policy framework and prospective research agenda is developed through the study.</p>Nayla Karima

2024-02-132024-02-1381355710.30589/pgr.v8i1.901 The Implementation of One Village One Product (OVOP) Program in Sambas Regency
http://iapa.or.id/ejournal/pgr/article/view/904
<p>This paper examines the local government's implementation of village development policy at the borderlands, aiming to address the research gap by explaining the implementation of public policy through a case study of the One Village One Product (OVOP) program in Sambas Regency, Indonesia, which shares a border with Sarawak, Malaysia. We provide academic contributions to the field of public policy at the intersection of village development and border studies by explaining the local experience of implementing public policy. Additionally, the study provides practical recommendations for stakeholders in both public and private sectors to enhance OVOP programs following the best practices learned from other countries. The study, conducted from August to October 2023, employed qualitative research methods through observation and 15 interviews with government officials, the regency and village levels, and the local figures. Relevant documents were also collected and analyzed. The study found that two models of policy implementation applied in the research setting. In most villages, the OVOP program implemented the dominant top-down models due to the independent work of regency government officials and inadequate collaboration. The bureaucracy only provides short-term assistance and empowerment while hindering the aspirations of the private and community sectors to participate. At the same time, a hybrid model is exercised in one village where local stakeholders, the village government, and private and community sectors collaborate based on their sense of belonging toward “home” with less intervention from the regency government. The study recommends enhancing regular on-site or online communication and active collaboration between all stakeholders in the regency and the village level to improve OVOP program implementation in Sambas Regency.</p>Rusdiono RusdionoAdityo Darmawan Sudagung

2024-02-232024-02-2381587410.30589/pgr.v8i1.904 Untangling the Conundrum of the Panel of Consultants’ Utilization in Indonesia
http://iapa.or.id/ejournal/pgr/article/view/869
<p>This interpretivism study utilizes the Oligopticon theory to investigate the underutilization of the Panel of Consultants in Indonesia by identifying the reasons behind its infrequent use and proposing effective solutions. The study employs thematic analysis to process data collected from various sources into thematic codes. In 2018, the Committee for Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure Delivery formed the Panel of Consultants to streamline the consultancy services selection in National Strategic Projects and other priority infrastructures yet was not optimally utilized. The findings indicate that the Panel's underutilization stems primarily from inadequate dissemination, budget constraints, and consultant- related issues. To address these challenges, the study proposes a strategic approach comprising disseminating and expanding knowledge, regular updates and provision of consultant resources, and mandatory usage coupled with centralized budgeting. This study provides regulators with valuable insights into assessing the effectiveness of the Panel of Consultants as a tool for expediting infrastructure development. The findings are crucial for future considerations on its re-establishment. By exploring the Oligopticon theory in the context of public procurement and delving into the method of consultancy selection, the research addresses a significant gap in the literature, offering a unique perspective rarely covered in earlier studies.</p>Tammy Amelia PratiwiResi Ariyasa Qadri
