Recently, Batik Tulis Lasem had several problems with a product, starting from input until the market process.

Further, this article was conducted by qualitative descriptive approach, particularly using the case study. In addition, the researchers collected data from semi-structured interviews with official local government and Batik Tulis Lasem entrepreneurs in the period covered 2018-2019. The results showed that local government has an important role in improving creative industries, firstly as a regulator, secondly as a facilitator, and thirdly to ensure the existence of Batik Tulis Lasem through empowerment. The problems in Batik Tulis Lasem are the regeneration of entrepreneurs, including batik craftsman, the lack of empowerment by local government, and the lack of information technology knowledge among the majority of Batik entrepreneurs.

This research aims to understand public sector innovation from a local perspective with a study of the Contra War (Contraceptive for Women at Risk) innovation study in Malang Regency. This innovation aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. This research used a qualitative study with document analysis. Researchers analysed documents from various sources such as official government reports, government regulations, online media news, scientific literature, and books. The result shows that the Contra War innovation has not significantly reduced maternal and infant mortality, but gradually the Contra-War has reduced maternal mortality index (Angka Kematian Ibu/AKI) cases from 27 in 2019 to 14 cases. Meanwhile, infant mortality rate (Angka Kematian Bayi/AKB as many as 62 people in 2020. Another side, the sustainability of innovation has not gone well because of low participation, innovative organisational capacity, and transformational leadership. Therefore, researchers provide suggestions for increasing public participation, collaborating with third parties, and creating innovative work ecosystems and bureaucratic structures.
Natural resources and social conflict have a strong relationship. The current natural resource management problems have caused deforestation, resulting in unstable environmental ecosystems. Consequently, a movement towards mitigating natural resource management emerged because of the threat to the “Bekantan” Proboscis Monkey habitat and population in South Kalimantan Province. Indonesian Proboscis Monkey Friends (SBI) Foundation is a non-profit organization aiming to protect Proboscis monkeys on Curiak Island. SBI adopts collaborative resource governance in building stakeholder capacity with shared motivation and principles for collective action. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the collaborative governance process conducted on Proboscis Monkey conservation in Curiak Island. The results showed that anyone, including non-government organizations, could initiate collaboration in the several programs such as conservation, buy back the land and rambai mangrove restoration. Various parties collaborations are proven to successfully increase the support for environmental conservation efforts, especially the habitat and endemic proboscis monkeys.
