Collaborative Governance In Public Service In Indonesia: A Systematic Mapping Study

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research raises a problem in Indonesia’s public services, with its relation to the scope of Public Administration Science. The study aims to analyze research articles in international journals with a time span from 2015 to 2019. The databases that the researchers used in the preparation of these scientific articles are Scopus and Taylor and Francis Group, which already have recognition from academics internationally. This study uses a qualitative research method with a literature review approach model in the form of a systematic mapping study. The research concludes that collaborative governance is most widely applied in public services, especially in the health sector. In addition, the method most commonly used is qualitative research methods with a case study approach

“…Apart from resulting in reduced levels of service for these modes, interchanges and junctions with innovative design for bus priorities would, according to authority experts, jeopardize level of safety as well. Hence, the regional superbus concept reveals different layers of social impact conflicts [33]. Firstly, it seems, that the concept-related travel time savings of existing and new passengers' savings do not outweigh the losses car users would incur.…”

Swedish and Scottish National Transport Policy and Spend: A Social Equity Analysis

The topic of social equity in transport planning has been dealt with, in particular, by authors such as Martens (2012) and Martens and Golob (2012) using a social justice based-approach. However, such an approach, whilst valuable and analytically rigorous (based as it is on accessibility modelling), does not consider a wide range of possible other social impacts of transport, as set out in a framework first put forward by Geurs et al. (2009). This paper uses Geurs' analytical framework to consider two empirical case studies: The National Transport Strategy for Scotland, adopted in January 2016, together with associated national level spending plans; and Sweden's 2014-2025 National Transport Plan. The paper will first summarise the contents of each document before analysing them in relation to the categories of social impact that Geurs (2009) identifies, and assess how, in relation to each category of impact, various social groups will benefit or disbenefit. A range of projects (planned) to be delivered by the two national strategies is then analysed in relation to the criteria. This analysis shows that the two national strategies/plans are in their distribution of spending, and the projects funded are generally working away from greater social equity in their distributional impacts.

“…This means that the planning of public transport systems is characterized by complexities due to the involvement of multiple organizations and a wide range of experts and stakeholders, often with varying perspectives (Bruijn & Veeneman, 2009;Olesen, 2014). To plan and implement efficient public transport therefore requires the need for the collective action of organizations with different responsibilities and driven by different rationalities (Olesen, 2014;Pettersson, 2018). Successful collaboration between several formal, discrete organizationseach with its own budget and area of responsibilityworking across organizational boundaries on shared priorities and implementation, is therefore critical (Hrelja, Monios, Rye, Isaksson, & Scholten, 2017;Meyer, Campbell, Leach, & Coogan, 2005).…”

“…While public transport research has identified some critical areas in which public transport organizations need to collaborate, it has only just begun to analyze the qualities that make it possible for organizations to collaborate efficiently, even though the literature indicates that dialog and shared goals are important. Previous public transport research typically calls for "collective visions", and "greater dialogue" between organizations (e.g., Berman et al, 2005;Rivasplata et al, 2012), causing some researchers to claim that there is a need for more deliberative governance approaches to coordination challenges (e.g., Hrelja et al, 2017;McLeod, Scheurer, & Curtis, 2017;Pettersson, 2018). However, there are several unanswered questions, for example, how can collaboration be understood conceptually, and what in theory are the essential qualities for successful collaboration on public transport?…”

How to create functioning collaboration in theory and in practice – practical experiences of collaboration when planning public transport systems

The creation of an efficient public transport system increasingly requires collaboration between independent organizations. Institutional reforms in Europe have created governance situations where collaboration between organizations is a critical issue, and examples include the integration of transport and land-use planning and the planning of large public transport projects. The organizational context of public transport, with several formal, discrete organizations that need to collaborate, raises questions about how functioning collaborations can be accomplished. This paper examines how to create functioning collaboration between organizations in the public transport sector. We depart from a theory of collaboration as a stepwise trust-building process, and we present results from a comparative case study of collaboration in two Swedish public transport projects. The results show some of the prerequisites that must be in place in order for the collaboration to work, but also the boundaries of what collaborative approaches can bring about. Conditions such as honest, open, and inclusive dialog between stakeholders and resources in the form of finance, knowledge, mandate, and leadership are important. While there is no guarantee that this will lead to differences in interests being resolved, the results indicate that it improves the chances of finding compromises that all of the involved stakeholders can accept, especially if favorable conditions for collaboration are established at an early stage of the planning process. Building on these findings, we suggest some practical recommendations for improving collaboration in future public transport projects. These practical recommendations are aimed at improving the handling of unavoidable conflicts in collaboration in a constructive way.
