Snapshot of Inter-Regional Cooperation for Basic Public Services in the Ajatappareng Area, Indonesia

Abstract

The development of an inter-regional cooperation model in providing basic public services in the Ajatappareng area of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, is presumably not as effective as expected. This study aims to describe basic public services (health, education and transportation) and models or patterns of cooperation developed by local governments. This study used a surveyevaluative method. Data were collected using observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques and shift-share analysis. The result is a fairly effective provision of basic public services in education, health and transportation. The provision of effective education services is seen from the aspects of equal distribution and expansion of access, quality of services provided, internal efficiency and effectiveness of institutional management. Provision of health services is quite successful in terms of public access, equity and justice, public health status, and levels of mortality, morbidity and community nutritional status. The provision of transportation services is quite effective, seen from the provision of infrastructure that can open up regional access to remote areas. There are two models of inter-regional cooperation and coordination that are implemented, namely "service exchange" and "consolidation of service mergers", in addition to the three idealized cooperation models. The three service models that are not optimal in practice are inter-government service contracts, joint service agreements and permanent transfers of interregional government services.

E-Governance and Public Services in Local Governments: Study of The Taspen Smart Card Programfor Pension Fund Services in Makassar City and Pinrang Regency

The Dynamics of Inter-Village Border Governance: A Case Study

“…Disclosure of information both in the decision-making process and in disclosing information, the most important effect of implementing the principle of transparency is the avoidance of conflicts of interest between various parties in management. In the management of inter-regional borders it is important for information disclosure (Akib et al, 2019(Akib et al, , 2020, so that the community knows the boundaries of their area in determining village boundaries in Siak Regency, namely referring to Permendagri 45 of 2016 and Presidential Decree no 23 of 2021 and this rule of law currently there are 122 villages which are used as a reference in determining the boundaries of the villages in the Siak district (Alkadafi, Muammar Ammar, 2019). However, at present there are still several villages that have not received a decree regarding their territorial boundaries and for Penyengat village and Kampung Rawa Mekar Raya, the district head has already had a decision from the district head in determining the boundaries of their territory, but due to different views, the people of the two villages are currently claiming ownership of the territory and are in dispute status.…”
