Regional competitiveness is an indicator of development that can be pursued by innovation, innovation in the process requires commitment in the form of policy, this is what distinguishes developmental development between regions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the innovation process, policies in the innovation process and evaluate the regional competitiveness of the innovation process that occurs in four regions, Magelang City, Pekanbaru City, Labuhanbatu Regency and Tuban Regency. Descriptive analysis is used qualitatively in this study in the form of direct interaction with the four regions. The primary data used comes from the direct observation process, while secondary data are sourced from official documents published by the study sampling. The nine-month study began in November 2018 until August 2019. The findings of this study indicate that policy has a priority role in the innovation process, the innovation process has the ability to encourage regional competitiveness, regional competitiveness becomes a foothold in determining regional policies
Indonesia has a geographical, geological, hydrological, and demographic situation prone to disasters with a relatively high frequency, thus requiring systematic, integrated, and coordinated disaster management. The disasters that occurred until 2020 were dominated by hydro-meteorological natural disasters such as floods, landslides, hurricanes, droughts to forests, and land fires (BNPB, 2021). The purpose of this study is to identify innovation models for regional government services in disaster mitigation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques, namely literature studies, FGDs, and interviews with related disaster mitigation innovations at the research location. The field findings illustrate that the SDIS innovation implemented by Sleman Regency is among the best innovations in handling volcanic eruptions. This innovation has been initiated since 2016 and continues to be refined. In the city of Semarang, specifically for flood disasters, the Early Warning System tool was installed at several points as the best innovation in flood management. However, difficulties were installing it at certain points due to geographical contours that were impossible. Meanwhile, for Sumedang Regency, their innovation through the SITABAH application still needs further development to become the best innovation in landslide mitigation due to limitations in infrastructure and human resources. In addition, the application is still one-way. Of the three disaster mitigation innovation models, the SDIS innovation is an innovation that has been successfully implemented by the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Sleman Regency. Especially on the "My distance and Merapi" feature, which can be accessed online, this innovation model can be replicated in other areas.
Problematic manual recapitulation led to the development of the use of e-recapitulation technology. This study aims to determine the feasibility of using e-recapitulation of vote counting in the upcoming 2019 general election. The location of this study was in Pekalongan, Central Java Province (pilot project using e-recapitulation). The method used is the descriptive qualitative method, the sources KPUD officers, Bawaslu officers, the DPRD, and the political unit of the Kesbangpol of Pekalongan. Data collection techniques used were the interview techniques. The technique of data analysis is the inductive basis, i.e., the data collected are discussed, interpreted, and collected in an inductive manner, and draw conclusions from the specific data. Field results show that technology basically e-vote election results recap (in particular _ USSD and DMR) is feasible to be used on the 2019 concurrent election, based on its ability to maintain the integrity of the vote-counting results from the polling stations. Although in the technology itself, the e-recapitulation technology is feasible to be used, it is expected that various problems as identified in this study would occur in the field during the implementation of the technology. Therefore, there needs to be a policy to anticipates the problems that might arise in the use of e-recapitulation technology in the 2019 elections. Such as early communication between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Central Election Commission to require the use of e-recapitulation in 2019 election, to improve the quality of democracy in Indonesia, as well as to prepare the internet network throughout Indonesia.
Nowadays, traditional market is increasingly squeezed by the emergence of modern market that develops rapidly. The dominance shift in national retail is apparent when globalization can no longer be contained, let alone be banned. Middle class and small class (traditional market) business retail seem to be in increasingly difficult condition to compete with upscale retail business (modern market). The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the competitiveness of traditional market and to develop policies to improve the competitiveness of traditional market. This study utilizes research strategy of case study in Bandung City, Serang City, and Surabaya City with qualitative descriptive approach. The study shows that the factors inhibiting the competitiveness of traditional market with modern stores are (1) Traditional market's bad image, and (2) Traditional market's sellers and managers are unprofessional. To improve the competitiveness of traditional market, this study recommends: (1) routine and regular maintenance of buildings and infrastructure of traditional market, (2) professionalism improvement of traditional market's sellers and managers, and (3) the partiality of local government in traditional markets.
