Authors:Zachlul Adinda, Bevaola Kusumasari, Agus Heruanto Hadna, Nurhadi Susanto Pages: 1 - 17 Abstract: This research aims to comprehend the development of halal tourism by systematically reviewing articles on halal tourism using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method and qualitative approach. This study explores the topic of halal tourism with the objective of complementing various previous research endeavors. This study reviewed 119 articles using the keywords “halal tourism” and “Muslim-friendly tourism” within the Scopus database. This study revealed four main research streams in halal tourism literature: the definition, concept, opportunities, and implementation of halal tourism. The theoretical contributions of this study include clarifying the concept and definition of halal tourism, classifying research streams in halal tourism, and offering directions for future research through various research questions. The limitations of this study are primarily attributed to the use of the Scopus database as the primary and sole source of data and the limited scope of keywords employed.

Authors:Gloria Evanda Fiko, Masrur Alatas, Andayani Listyawati, Suryani Suryani, Soetji Andari Pages: 18 - 35 Abstract: The Industrial Environmental Rating Program (PROPER) from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia has produced various outcomes. Many companies strive to meet the PROPER assessment criteria, earning ratings represented by colors ranging from black to gold. Unfortunately, the indicators set by PROPER, namely compliance and beyond-compliance assessment criteria, are limited to technical and managerial aspects rather than substantial ones. Consequently, the ratings often become a means for environmentally polluting companies to polish their public image and attract investment. PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero), a state-owned geothermal enterprise, is one of many companies that have obtained a blue PROPER rating. This company's presence in Dieng, Central Java, has faced civil resistance due to the various pollution issues caused by their activities. The company uses the blue PROPER rating label to create a mechanism called “post-political governance” to discipline civil resistance. This mechanism refers to the process of repressing the political dimension in society by introducing apolitical mechanisms. These apolitical mechanisms are found in the values of good governance, such as participation, transparency, fairness, accountability, and public inclusion, which PROPER aims to implement. This research was conducted in Karang Tengah Village, Dieng, and remotely from different locations. The findings show that Dieng residents, whose political dimension is being disciplined, are able to reclaim their political agency through civil and discursive political resistance—a set of conditions that Wilson and Swyngedouw refer to as “the return of the political.” This research aims to present a critical perspective on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices by companies within the framework of PROPER, while also highlighting the role of the community as key actors in challenging the discourse of empowerment constructed by the company and PROPER policy.

Authors:Ni Made Widya Premaiswari, Ramlan Siregar, Rusman Ghazali Pages: 36 - 51 Abstract: The implementation of the National Public Service Complaint Management System-Online Aspiration and Complaints Service (or Sistem Pengelolaan Pengaduan Pelayanan Publik Nasional- Layanan Aspirasi dan Pengaduan Online a.k.a SP4N-LAPOR!) as a national public service complaint management application is still facing several problems. Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (or Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi a.k.a KemenPANRB) as a national admin of the SP4N-LAPOR! carries out monitoring and evaluation duties at the national level and forwards the reports to each government agency, thus playing an essential role in the effectiveness of SP4N-LAPOR!. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing public service complaint management in the SP4N-LAPOR! by KemenPANRB in 2021. Qualitative and descriptive approaches as well as interview observation and documentation were used to collect data. The findings in the research show that the SP4N-LAPOR! has been planned and arranged according to applicable regulations. However, in practice, the implementation of SP4N-LAPOR! has not been optimal due to several factors: commitment, coordination, technical and operational capabilities, technology, and community involvement.

Authors:Luthfi Widad Erdiana, Slamet Slamet Pages: 52 - 63 Abstract: The Indonesian people have called Madiun City “Kota Brem,” “Kota Pecel,” and “Kota Sepur” since the Dutch era. In line with the Mayor’s leadership policy, the city branding of Madiun was shifted from “Madiun Kota Gadis” to “Madiun Kota Karismatik” and finally to “Madiun Kota Pendekar”. This study examines stakeholders’ reactions to the rebranding of Madiun City. This study uses qualitative research paradigms and case study methods. The primary data sources were obtained through extensive interviews and non-participant observations. Secondary data came from documentation. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman’s interactive model approach. The study found that the stakeholders are apathetic when responding to the city rebranding due to their low participation and lack of knowledge in the decision-making process. Differences of interest between the government and stakeholders result in a low response. PubDate: 2024-07-17 DOI: 10.22146/jkap.94797 Issue No:Vol. 28, No. 1 (2024)
Authors:Arif Novianto Pages: 64 - 77 Abstract: Governance as theory and practice, since the end of the 20th century, has been disseminated as the best form of public management. This notion of governance emphasizes reducing state actor authority, and in the name of participation, the voice of the state actor is positioned on par with the voices of private actors and civil society. To support the concept of governance, international organizations and financial institutions (United Nation, World Bank & IMF) promote the principles of "good governance" as the antithesis of "bad governance" which is characterized as corrupt, undemocratic and detrimental to the people. This research challenges governance theory and practice, with a case study of Indocement Ltd (Heidelberg Cement Group) expansion in Central Java, Indonesia. This research uses an ethnographic method, which was carried out in two periods, in 2014-2015 and 2017-2018. The contribution of this research is that instead of being happily accepted by the people, governance and the principles of good governance were actually opposed by the grassroots community in the case of Indocement Ltd's development plan in the Kendeng Mountains, Pati Regency, Central Java. This resistance was motivated by the use of governance and the principles of "good governance" to force the construction of a cement factory. In fighting against these problems, the people's movement advocated democracy from below through a counter-hegemonic movement that involved people, until finally it succeeded in thwarting a project to build a cement factory in their place. For people who reject the cement factory plan, governance is "good" for capital, but "bad" for the environment and people's livelihoods.

Authors:Muhammad Zaenuddin, Wahyudi Kumorotomo, Irwita Erlangga Pages: 78 - 90 Abstract: Batam’s development began in 1970 by the Batam Authority (now called BP Batam) and was projected as an industrial area. At that time, Batam was transformed into a city with growth above the average national economic growth. Yet, the contrasting situation occurred after the implementation of regional autonomy in Batam. The presence of the Batam City Government as an executor of regional autonomy has a very strong legal and political position. Therefore, this paper focuses on institutional failures which have implications for the decline of the economy during the decentralized era. The methodology used in this research is descriptive exploratory, which extracts information from primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained using surveys and interviews with expert informants. The data was analyzed using the Delphi method and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of the study showed that the problem was institutional dualism between the Batam City Government and BP Batam, which had implications for legal uncertainty. The Delphi method resulted in recommendations for the Free Trade Zone (FTZ), Special Economic Zones (SEZ), and the implementation of special autonomy in Batam. Meanwhile, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method resulted in a finding that special autonomy was the best policy choice. The concept of asymmetric decentralization based on economics is a possible model of special autonomy. However, in its implementation, further stages are needed to prepare a special law regarding the substance of specialization given to Batam.
