Abstract

Policy implementation is one of the main elements of public policy to ensure that policy is successful in resolving all concerns and promoting the efforts made by the organization as a policy implementer. The implementation of public policies can be influenced by several factors, such as limited budget and human resources, lack of socialization, low commitment of authorized officials, including supervision and sanctions that have not been implemented properly. There are many models of public policy implementation, but policy implementation is still ineffective, especially in environmental policies. Some studies have been performed on the development of a policy implementation model with a range of methods and principles, three of them are policy implementation models developed by Van Horn-Van Meter; Grindle; Mazmanian and Sabatier. Those three methods are used respectively according to the existing conditions with different levels of achievement. The objective of this article is to assess the best model of policy implementation related to Acid Mine Drainage management policy of coal mining operations in Indonesia through a comparative study review. The results of the analysis show that the model developed by Mazmanian Sabatier is the most appropriate model to implement the policy of Acid Mine Drainage in Indonesia.
