This paper, which is focused on evaluating the policies and institutional control of the Brantas River Basin, East Java, Indonesia, aims to review government regulations on watershed governance in Indonesia. A qualitative approach to content analysis is used to explain and layout government regulations regarding planning, implementation, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, and accountability of the central and local governments in managing the Brantas watershed, East Java, Indonesia. Nvivo 12 Plus software is used to map, analyze, and create data visualization to answer research questions. This study reveals that the management regulations of the Brantas watershed, East Java, Indonesia, are based on a centralized system, which places the central government as an actor who plays an essential role in the formulation, implementation, and accountability of the Brantas watershed management. In contrast, East Java Province’s regional government only plays a role in implementing and evaluating policies. The central government previously formulated the Brantas watershed. This research contributes to strengthening the management and institutional arrangement of the central government and local governments that support the realization of good governance of the Brantas watershed. Future research needs to apply a survey research approach that focuses on evaluating the capacity of the central government and local governments in supporting good management of the Brantas watershed.

This study evaluated the branding of a slum project as a social marketing initiative to transform the Jodipan slum area into a tourism village in the city of Malang. An action–evaluation research project was conducted through the combination of the marketing and planning oriented approaches by the communications department at a major public university in Indonesia between June 2016 and October 2017. The study employed a case study supported by qualitative data from primary and secondary sources, including social media text mining analysis. Moreover, an evaluation survey was conducted using proportionally random sampling from 650 slum dwellers to assess the impacts of the project in terms of the general welfare of the community. The transformation of the slum area into a new tourist destination was found to have been successfully implemented through the combined marketing and planning-oriented community social marketing project. The tourist destination produced was also observed to have a good impact on environmental sustainability and economic value for the local community. Jodipan branding project is unique as observed in its ability to transform an unhealthy settlement into a healthy settlement. Theoretically, it has contributed to new knowledge on slum upgrading in urban studies, especially with the focus on the successful improvement of the physical, social, and economic conditions of the area. This research further contributed to a new understanding and novelty of knowledge on the ability of place branding, as a social marketing strategy, to change the behavior of slum dwellers. However, this research has limitations in exploring the local government’s response to the project, therefore, future studies need to clarify issues relating to local policies and official budgets for its sustainability.

This paper elaborates on policies, strategies, and implementation of Smart Cities in Indonesia. Due to regulatory, strategy, and implementation problems for Smart City, there are still differences in understanding and strategy in its implementation. Smart urban governance is part of a smart city, so one strategy to implement smart urban governance is a smart city policy in Indonesia. There is a fragmentation of inconsistent approaches, policies, implementations, and strategies in practice. This research will develop arguments, analyze published articles and regulations, and map them out. The research method used was a qualitative approach. The data sources used were articles from Scopus which found 213 articles using the keywords smart city policies and smart urban governance and regulations, which were then processed using VOSviewer and Nvivo 12 Plus software. This study indicated that to implement smart urban governance in Indonesia, strategies such as the first need to be supported by the central government to make a policy regarding smart cities, including smart urban governance, followed by smart city policies in the towns in Indonesia. Second, there are technological developments that support the implementation of smart cities. Third, there are institutional and human resource factors, but these are still obstacles to implementing smart cities in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the urban issues developed in Indonesia are mega-urban in the big island, urban management and financing, housing for lower-income, sustainable urban infrastructure, and resilient disaster mitigation and management.

Kualitas hidup dan kualitas perawatan adalah hak asasi manusia. Kesetaraan dalam penyediaan dan aksesibilitas terhadap perawatan kesehatan adalah komponen kunci dari kualitas perawatan dan kualitas hidup. Sejalan dengan Pancasila ideologi nasional Indonesia dan Pasal 34 Undang-Undang Dasar Negara 1945, Indonesia telah mengakui dan memprioritaskan tujuan pemerataan akses terhadap perawatan kesehatan dan kesejahteraan. Undang-Undang Kesehatan Nasional No. 36 Tahun 2009 juga menyatakan: "Setiap warga negara memiliki hak untuk memiliki akses dan sumber daya dalam perawatan kesehatan, yang aman, berkualitas tinggi dan terjangkau. Dan oleh karena itu, setiap warga negara harus menjadi anggota asuransi nasional. " Melalui penelitian dengan metode studi pustaka Ini, peneliti Ingin mengetahui bertujuan untuk menggali dan menganalisis pemerataan layanan kesehatan primer lansia saat pandemi untuk mengevaluasi kinerja sistem perawatan kesehatan yang ada di Malang . Disparitas pelayanan kesehatan antara perkotaan dan pedesaan selalu menarik untuk dipelajari karena banyak hal yang dapat ditemukan dalam kasus ini. Salah satu karakteristik yang berbeda dari daerah perkotaan dan pedesaan adalah mempercepat pembangunan. Daerah perkotaan cenderung berkembang lebih cepat daripada yang pedesaan terutama di sektor kesehatan. Kepadatan hunian membuat pembangunan kesehatan terkonsentrasi di daerah perkotaan.Hasil menunjukkan Pada Kabupaten Malang, lansia perkotaan cenderung mudah dalam mendapatkan akses kesehatan berbeda dengan lansia pedesaan yang cenderung susah dikarenakan beberapa faktor seperti tinggal di derah pelosok.

In order to improve and develop the priority sector, namely the tourism sector, 10 (ten) priority destinations are determined in Indonesia, one of them is Tanjung Kelayang Destination in Bangka Belitung. The development of this priority destination, being the domain of authority of the central government and regional governments, it is necessary for Government Cooperation. The results of the study found that the model of cooperation between the central and regional governments in the development of Tanjung Kelayang Destinations was not only developed through government cooperation in the status of KSPN (National Tourism Strategic Area) which was deconcentrated, but also developed through government cooperation in the status of KEK (Creative Economic Zone) in the concept ABCGM (Academics, Business, Community, Government, Media). In each model of cooperation in its implementation there are still some problems, namely the local government is less able to take advantage of the opportunities in proposing activities to the central government through the Deconcentration Fund and DAK (Special Allocation Funds) in the KSPN status, and there are some activities that are not focused and not suitable for the development of KEK Tanjung Kelayang. There are several inhibiting and supporting factors identified and influencing government cooperation, inhibiting factors in the development of Tanjung Kelayang Priority Destinations namely lack of accessibility especially transportation, lack of awareness of community tourism, lack of community creativity while supporting factors are many foreign tourists and there are famous tourist attractions (Laskar Pelangi Island). Thus, the Central and Regional Government Cooperation can conclude that it is still not enough to make the Tanjung Kelayang destination a priority destination in Indonesia.Keywords :Government Cooperation, Tourism Development, Priority Destinations
