It is not uncommon that collaborative governance is now generating new attention in Indonesia as a method of governing. This is because of the terrible historical experience of governance during the New Order era, including the state’s dominant role, the government’s unwillingness to engage actors outside the state, and a centralized and top-down development pattern. Collaborative governance, specifically the recommendation to involve multiple stakeholders (government, private sector, and society) in government management and public policy, addresses these issues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide a critical review of the ongoing collaborative governance process and to determine whether various challenges associated with collaborative governance are influencing the success of climate change adaptation policies in increasing adaptive capacity in Bandar Lampung City. This study was conducted in Bandar Lampung City on the Indonesian island of Sumatra using a qualitative approach and involved informants who were both apparatus and members of the Bandar Lampung City Climate Change Resilience Coordination Team. Interviews and document analysis were used to collect data, which were then analyzed using a content analysis procedure. The findings indicate that this city has achieved a number of milestones in its efforts to improve the adaptive capacity of government institutions and society. However, the collaborative governance approach, which is hailed as the optimal method for implementing long-term public policies, is not always smooth, demonstrating that collaborative governance remains vulnerable to failure due to cultural, institutional, and political factors. The article concludes with suggestions for future research.

Purpose: Adopting digital technology in government processes is believed to improve a state's administration. Almost any change management theory emphasizes the importance of technology as one of the main components to address whether an organization, including public organizations has the ability to win competitions. Digital technology adoption for public services responds to inefficiency, participation frustration, and minimum collaboration and service innovation. This paper investigates the application of digital technology in an integrated digital government modernization, its implications, and challenges in creating expected public values in the Middle Lampung Regency, Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study involved informants with authority in regional digital government administration. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. Data were analyzed by using a descriptive content analysis procedure. Results: The results show that although digital government services have been implemented in various types of public services, they are not integrated with public service business processes so digital service applications spread across various types of services cannot be integrated properly. Limitations: There are gaps between applications and service qualities, including fraud in some cases. Contributions: The digital government that is expected to be the optimal method for improving innovation, value, and public service quality cannot be implemented quickly because of complex challenges that must be addressed.

This study aims to examine the factors that influence tourists' decisions to revisit ecotourism destinations in Lampung province. The factors under investigation include the attractiveness of tourism, quality of service, information sources, and visitor satisfaction. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a questionnaire that was distributed to 153 tourists who had previously visited a marine ecotourism destination. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was then applied using Smart-PLS 4.0.8.6 to analyze the data. The results show that quality of service, hospitality, and social capital have a significant direct impact on visitor satisfaction, as well as on tourists' intentions to return and recommendations for the destination. There is also a significant indirect effect of these variables on the recommendation of tourism through visitor satisfaction and intention to return.

Kota Bandar Lampung teridentifikasi sebagai salah satu daerah di Indonesia yang sangat rentan bencana dengan intensitas serta dampaknya ditengarai akan semakin sering dan parah seiring dengan dampak perubahan iklim. Peran Pemerintah Daerah dalam membuat kebijakan dan mengimplementasikan aksi adaptasi/mitigasi merupakan hal penting yang mempengaruhi ketahanan (resilience) baik skala komunitas maupun skala kota untuk menghadapi bencana tersebut. Tujuan riset ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi bagaimana peran dan kebijakan yang telah dijalankan Pemerintah Daerah dalam tata kelola pemerintahan mampu meningkatkan kapasitas adaptif atau ketahanan daerah. Evaluasi terhadap upaya peningkatan kapasitas adaptif (ketahanan daerah) tersebut dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan The Adaptive Capacity Wheel dalam 6 (enam) dimensi yaitu keberagaman, kapasitas pembelajaran, kewenangan untuk berubah, kepemimpinan, sumber daya, serta pemerintahan yang adil dan responsif. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran Pemkot Bandar Lampung dalam upaya peningkatan ketahanan daerah sudah cukup tinggi dengan dijadikannya perubahan iklim sebagai isu strategis dalam dokumen perencanaan formal serta keberagaman tindakan, baik skala kota maupun skala sektor. Kota ini memiliki kapasitas pembelajaran dengan belajar dari peristiwa bencana yang pernah dialami di masa lalu. Kapasitas kepemimpinan juga mampu mempengaruhi munculnya aksi mulai dari perencanaan strategi, kebijakan, implementasi, dan kemampuan kolaborasi dengan membentuk kelembagaan lokal (khusus terkait dengan perubahan iklim) dengan melibatkan dan mengoptimalkan keragaman sumber daya yang ada. Meskipun belum optimal, keberadaan beberapa aturan daerah yang mengatur kelembagaan hingga bentuk kebijakan yang dihasilkan dalam konteks perubahan iklim juga menjadi bukti adanya indikator pemerintahan yang adil dan responsif. Pada konteks tata kelola pemerintahan dalam upaya peningkatan kapasitas adaptif atau ketahanan terhadap perubahan iklim, Kota Bandar Lampung layak dijadikan contoh best practice bagi daerah lain di Indonesia.
