Management of the White Sand Beach Tourism Destination in Lenju Village, North Sojol District, Donggala Regency
Tourism plays a strategic role in driving national economic growth, making planning and management of tourist attractions crucial. The main problem in this study is the suboptimal management of the Pasir Putih Beach tourist attraction in Lenju Village, characterized by a lack of attention to cleanliness, inadequate facilities, damaged rides, low visitor numbers, and poorly supervised tourist activities. This study aims to determine and understand the management process of the tourist attraction. The method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-qualitative type through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the management of the Pasir Putih Beach tourist attraction is not running optimally. In the planning aspect, the manager has a development plan, but its implementation is still hampered by land status issues and budget constraints, so it has not been realized optimally. In the organizational aspect, there has been a division of tasks and involvement of various parties in tourism management, so this aspect can be said to have run quite well. In the implementation aspect, management and service activities have not been carried out consistently, which has an impact on the condition of facilities and decreased visitor comfort. Meanwhile, in terms of oversight, monitoring activities have not been optimal due to lack of routine implementation and limited resources, as evidenced by persistent issues with cleanliness, facilities, and activities in tourist areas. Therefore, management needs to improve the implementation of planned programs, strengthen coordination and clarity of tasks between parties, implement management activities routinely and consistently, and enhance ongoing oversight to ensure more effective management of tourist attractions and improve service quality and the number of tourist visits.

Public Roadside Parking Service Policy to Increase Original Revenue in Gorontalo City
Parking is a crucial component of the transportation system as it is the starting and ending point of every vehicle journey. This means that parking facilities are crucial for the overall efficiency of the transportation system. The purpose of this study is to examine the following stages in the implementation process of the Public Service Digitalization Policy in Limba U1 Village, South Kota District, Gorontalo City: 1) Agenda Preparation, 2) Policy Formulation, 3) Policy Adoption, 4) Policy Implementation, and 5) Policy Evaluation. This study focuses on the aforementioned. The method used in this study is qualitative. The results show that the public roadside parking service policy in Gorontalo City experiences weaknesses in all stages of the process: the agenda preparation is not based on empirical data and stakeholder participation, so that problems have not been systematically mapped; the policy formulation is still conventional, has not adopted digital technology, and does not involve field implementers; the adoption stage emphasizes formal legal aspects without considering resource readiness and adequate socialization; during implementation there are levy leaks, weak supervision, and low compliance resulting in revenue not reaching the target; Meanwhile, evaluations are purely administrative, unsystematic, and lack clear feedback mechanisms. As a result, policies have not been implemented effectively, their contribution to Regional Original Income has not been optimal, and the quality of service perceived by the public remains unsatisfactory.
Collaborative Governance in the Implementation of the Climate Village Program in Palupi Village, Tatanga District, Palu City
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Collaborative governance in the Climate Village Program (ProKlim) in Palupi Village, Palu City. This program is a government initiative to enhance community resilience to climate change through adaptation and mitigation activities based on community participation. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that the implementation of ProKlim in Palupi Village involves collaboration among local government, village authorities, program managers, and the community. Based on Ansell and Gash’s Collaborative governance framework, the initial conditions indicate relatively good relationships among stakeholders, although limitations in resources and coordination remain. In terms of institutional design, the program has followed existing regulations but lacks sufficient financial support. Facilitative leadership is reflected in the role of government as a facilitator that encourages community participation through assistance and direct involvement in activities. Meanwhile, the collaborative process demonstrates ongoing communication, trust-building, and shared understanding, although these aspects still need continuous improvement. Overall, the collaboration in implementing ProKlim in Palupi Village has been relatively effective and has contributed positively to environmental quality improvement and community participation. However, several challenges persist, including limited resources, suboptimal coordination, and uneven public understanding of the program. Therefore, strengthening coordination, improving resource capacity, and ensuring continuous government support are necessary to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the program.

Then from the aspect of reliability, it shows that the hospital has a reliable work system in providing medical services to patients. Then, seen from the aspect of responsiveness, it is not running optimally. This is caused by hospital employees who are still unable to complete the tasks of health services needed by the community. In addition, public service from the aspect of assurance shows that medical personnel are able to build a sense of security and patient trust through clear communication, courtesy, and good professional competence. Lastly, from the aspect of attention (empathy), it has been going well, because health workers show personal attention to patients, such as greeting them, asking about their condition, and providing emotional support.
Effectiveness of the Stunting Reduction Program in Kalola Village, Bambalamotu District, Pasangkayu Regency
Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia due to its long-term impact on children's growth, development, and future human resource quality. To address this issue, the government has implemented various stunting reduction programs through nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions involving multiple levels of administration. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Stunting Reduction Program in Kalola Village, Bambalamotu District, Pasangkayu Regency. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving six key informants, including representatives from the Health Office, village government, community leaders, health workers, and the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) organization. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the program has not yet achieved optimal effectiveness. Based on Campbell’s effectiveness framework, only the target achievement indicator was considered effective, as assistance and interventions were delivered to the intended beneficiaries. In contrast, the indicators of program success, participant satisfaction, input-output performance, and overall goal attainment were found to be less effective. Several factors contributed to these outcomes, including limited community participation in counseling and recovery activities, inadequate awareness of nutrition and healthy lifestyles, and the persistence of traditional practices among some community members. Furthermore, the prevalence of stunting in Kalola Village fluctuated from 26.86% in 2022 to 25.08% in 2023, before increasing to 27.43% in 2024. Strengthening community engagement, health education, and cross-sector collaboration is therefore essential to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of stunting reduction efforts.

Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, including both primary and secondary data.The results of the study indicate that the development at the Palindo Statue tourist attraction has not been optimal due to the lack of human resources in management, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, limited community participation in management, unstructured management practices, insufficient tourism promotion, budget constraints that limit management activities, and local government inefficiency in implementing policies related to tourism programs. Based on these findings, local governments, communities, and managers are expected to pay greater attention to these issues and implement better development strategies for the tourist attraction in the future. An aggressive (growth-oriented) strategy is considered the most appropriate and suitable strategy for developing the Palindo Statue tourist attraction.

Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that the quality of population administration services at the Tomini District Office has not yet reached an optimal level. The dimensions of reliability and responsiveness were assessed as relatively satisfactory, as reflected in the employees’ ability to perform their duties in accordance with established procedures and their responsiveness in serving the public. However, challenges were still identified within the assurance and empathy dimensions, including insufficient employee discipline, delays in attendance, and service attitudes that did not consistently demonstrate friendliness and attentiveness to community needs. Furthermore, the tangibles dimension revealed limitations in service-supporting facilities and infrastructure, such as inadequate waiting areas and suboptimal service facilities. The lack of public dissemination regarding administrative procedures and requirements was also found to hinder service effectiveness. Therefore, efforts to improve human resource capacity, upgrade service facilities, and strengthen information dissemination are essential to achieving more effective, transparent, and citizen-oriented population administration services that meet public expectations and enhance community satisfaction.

Local businesses (homestays, culinary, transportation, and crafts) still face obstacles in access to capital, technology, and managerial skills. A gap was identified, with the community's role still predominantly at the operational level, rather than the strategic one. Sustainable synergy between the government, academics, and the community is needed to create inclusive economic independence.

However, the program has not achieved optimal effectiveness due to the limited use of stalls, insufficient socialization efforts, low trader adaptation to the new facilities, and inadequate maintenance of several facilities. Therefore, improved market management, facility maintenance, and stronger communication between the government and traders are needed to maximize the outcomes of the revitalization program.

Performance of Apparatus in Processing Land Certificates at the Pusungi Village Office, Ampana Tete District, Tojo Una-Una Regency
This research aims to analyze the performance of the Pusungi Village apparatus, Ampana Tete District, Tojo Una-Una Regency, especially in the service of land certificate management. Performance is measured through the dimensions of productivity, service quality, responsiveness, responsibility, and accountability. The results of observations and interviews show that in general, the apparatus's performance is in the fairly good category but not yet optimal. The apparatus's productivity is hindered by limited human resources (only handled by the Government Section Head), manual administrative processes, and unprepared community documents (requiring 6-12 months for verification). Service quality still needs improvement, marked by the absence of service time standards, procedures considered complicated because information is only conveyed orally, and limited supporting facilities. In the Responsiveness dimension, the apparatus has the willingness to serve quickly, but is often hindered by high workload and the absence of written information media, causing repeated administrative problems. Responsibility shows compliance with rules, but is not yet supported by written SOPs and adequate archiving systems, making service consistency dependent on individuals. Finally, financial Accountability is assessed as good (transparent costs), but periodic information accountability is weak, causing uncertainty in completion time for the community. Overall, performance improvement requires improvements in technical, administrative, and structural aspects. Digitalization of administration, provision of standard SOPs, improvement of human resource competence through training, and development of written service information media are needed to realize faster, accurate, and efficient land certificate services.

Implementation of Flood Disaster Management Policy in Balinggi Jati Village, Balinggi District, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi Province
This study analyzes the implementation of flood disaster management policies in Balinggi Jati Village, Balinggi District, Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Flood events occurring almost every year indicate that the implementation of disaster management policies still reflects a separation among the pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster stages. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Parigi Moutong Regency, the Balinggi Jati Village Government, and local communities. The analysis is guided by the policy implementation framework proposed by Knill and Tosun (2020). The findings show that flood disaster management policy is more oriented toward response and post-disaster activities, such as evacuation, aid distribution, and environmental recovery. Meanwhile, pre-disaster mitigation and preparedness have not been systematically developed due to limited budget support and situational inter-agency coordination. These findings highlight the need to strengthen an integrated disaster management policy across all phases, particularly through enhanced pre-disaster planning and institutional capacity at the village level
Parking Fee Management at the Inpres Market in Palu City
This study was motivated by the suboptimal management of parking retribution at Inpres Market in Palu City, which has resulted in revenue leakage and weak supervision of parking attendants. The objective of this research is to describe the management of parking retribution at Inpres Market based on the management functions proposed by Henry Fayol, namely planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the Palu City Department of Transportation, parking attendants, traders, and service users. The findings show that, in terms of planning, revenue targets and official parking tickets have been established; however, their implementation remains ineffective, as many users do not receive official tickets. In terms of organizing, task distribution has been arranged, yet overlapping duties and an unclear work structure are still found. The directing aspect has not been carried out consistently, as guidance and supervision for attendants remain limited. Coordination among related stakeholders has not been optimal, while controlling mechanisms are still weak, resulting in potential revenue leakage. Overall, the management of parking retribution at Inpres Market has been implemented, but it has not been effective, thus requiring stronger supervision and the application of a digital-based payment system to improve transparency and increase local revenue.
The Influence of Online Attendance Effectiveness on the Work Discipline of Family Planning Counselors at the BKKBN Representative Office of Central Sulawesi Province
This study aimed to examine the effect of online attendance effectiveness on the work discipline of Family Planning Extension Workers and to measure the magnitude of such effect. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed.

Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 83 Family Planning Extension Worker respondents. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression, f-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) with the aid of SPSS 27. The findings revealed that online attendance effectiveness had a positive and significant effect on the work discipline of Family Planning Extension Workers at the BKKBN Representative Office of Central Sulawesi Province, as evidenced by a f-value of 107,808 > t-table of 3,96. Online attendance effectiveness accounted for 57.1% of the variance in work discipline (R² = 0.571), while the remaining 42.9% was attributable to other factors outside the research model
Implementation of Building Approval Policy in Parigi Moutong Regency
The implementation of the Building Approval policy in Parigi Moutong Regency still faces various challenges that affect the effectiveness of building permit services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Building Approval policy in Parigi Moutong Regency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis is based on the policy implementation theory of Van Meter and Van Horn, which consists of policy standards and objectives, resources, characteristics of implementing agencies, interorganizational communication, implementer disposition, and social and economic conditions of the community. The findings indicate that the Building Approval policy has a clear legal basis, objectives, and implementation structure, namely to provide legal certainty, ensure conformity of development with spatial planning, and guarantee compliance with technical building standards. However, the implementation of the policy has not been fully optimal. The main obstacles identified include low levels of digital literacy among the community, limited policy socialization activities, insufficient human resources and supporting facilities, technical disruptions in the electronic licensing service system, and economic burdens experienced by the community. In addition, coordination among implementing agencies has been carried out but still encounters difficulties related to incomplete documentation and differing technical perceptions. Implementers generally demonstrate a supportive attitude toward the policy, although public complaints regarding service quality persist. This study concludes that the implementation of the Building Approval policy in Parigi Moutong Regency has not yet been fully effective and requires strengthening of human resource capacity, improved interagency coordination, and expanded policy socialization adjusted to local social and economic conditions.
Implementation of the Child-Friendly City Policy at the Palu City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service
The purpose of this study is to give a clear image of how the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency in Palu City is implementing child-friendly city policies and to pinpoint the variables that affect their effectiveness. The research methodology is descriptive and qualitative. The Palu City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A), the Social Agency, PATBM, the Nosarara Children's Forum, and non-governmental organizations (Libu Perempuan) served as the study's units of analysis. While data analysis procedures included data collecting, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drafting, data collection techniques included observation, interviews, documentation, and audio-visual materials. The KLA policy's execution in Palu City has not been ideal, according to research based on George C. Edward III's implementation theory. In terms of communication, information transmission between institutions is solid, but there is a gap in understanding at the field implementation level. In terms of resources, this policy is still hampered by budget constraints and supporting facilities. However, these weaknesses are compensated for by the commitment and high work ethic of the implementers. In terms of bureaucratic structure, the working mechanisms have a legal basis and standard operating procedures (SOPs), although crosssector coordination still needs to be simplified. Recommendations include the need to allocate a special budget for the provision of child-friendly facilities, simplify KLA educational materials for the general public, and optimize the role of PATBM at the village level. It is hoped that local governments can increase synergy so that the KLA policy does not merely become a bureaucratic procedure, but rather a participatory social movement.

Overall, the effectiveness of public services at the Pomolulu Village Office has been running quite well, especially in the aspects of accuracy and service style. However, the aspect of time discipline still needs attention so that the quality of public services can be more optimal.

Implementation Of Child Protection Policy In Palu City
This research aims to explore in depth the implementation of child protection policies in Palu City and identify the factors that cause the suboptimal handling of child abuse issues. The phenomenon of increasing cases of child abuse in Palu City is a crucial background to this study. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, and this study uses George C. Edward III's policy implementation theoretical framework as the main analytical tool, which includes indicators of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The unit of analysis in this study consisted of policy implementers, including the Palu City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A), UPTD PPA, PATBM, Children's Forum, and non-governmental organizations (LiBu Perempuan). Data analysis techniques were carried out through a process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using data collection techniques through interviews, observation, documentation, and audio-visual material. The results of the study show that policy implementation in Palu City is driven by the highly commitment of implementers, as well as a bureaucratic structure with clear service SOPs. However, implementation faces critical obstacles in terms of resources, particularly the lack of fiscal budget allocation and the limited number of specific experts (clinical psychologists). In addition, a cognitive gap was found with law enforcement officials regarding the interpretation of case resolutions. The recommendations provided include the need to synchronize budget priorities in the regional budget, establish technical human resource retention policies to prevent excessive employee turnover, and strengthen cross-sectoral coordination with vertical agencies to unify legal perceptions for maximum victim protection.

Online Student Admission (PPDB) is a form of digital transformation in public services within the education sector aimed at improving transparency, effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability in educational service delivery. However, its implementation still faces various challenges that may lead to maladministration, including lack of information transparency, procedural irregularities, system errors, service delays, and alleged discrimination in student selection processes. This study aims to analyze the legal foundations of governmental administrative accountability in the implementation of online PPDB, identify forms of alleged maladministration in educational services, and formulate strategies to strengthen accountability in the implementation of online PPDB at the Gorontalo City Education Office. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach through the examination of laws and regulations, scientific journals, books, previous studies, and relevant policy documents. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that the accountability of online PPDB implementation has been normatively regulated through various legal frameworks emphasizing transparency, legal certainty, fairness, and public responsibility. Nevertheless, potential maladministration remains due to weak supervision mechanisms, suboptimal information technology systems, and limited public access to information. Therefore, strengthening oversight mechanisms, optimizing digital systems, improving the capacity of public officials, and enhancing public participation are necessary to realize accountable, transparent, and good governance-based educational services.
