Membangun Sistem Pelayanan Publik yang Memihak Pada Rakyat
Agus Dwiyanto

Public service delivery in Indonesia has failed to win the hearts of the public. Such a stance is attributed to distortions, which owe their origins to the bureaucratic structure of the organization and administration of public service provision, as well as the haphazard work practices, all of which have undermined the efficiency of public service delivery. The public, as customers of services, has been plagued by accessibility problems, persistent delays, and rampant bureaucratic corruption. The lack of responsibility and authority by those delivering public services imply that strict adherence to rigid rules and regulations takes precedence over serving the interests of the public. Public service bureaucracy in Indonesia is indeed rule rather than customer driven. Besides, customers of public services have a weak bargaining position, which precludes their raising any complaints in case the services received fall short of their expectations and a far cry from fulfilling their satisfaction. In order to revitalize the image of the civil service the government must enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness in the delivery of public services. Nonetheless, making recommendations on the quality improvement is one thing, implementing them is another, even more complex issues. A number of changes must be effected; right from the top brass down to the first-line service providers, if the much cherished more customer-driven work ethics are to be instilled.

Otonomi Daerah di Sektor Penangkapan Ikan
Pujo Semedi Hargo Yuwono

This article attempts to discuss the impact of the enactment of Law No. 22 of 1999 on regional decentralization on maritime areas in Indonesia. The Law No. 22 of 1999 is a clear-cut regulation of the division of management of maritime areas between province and regency (district). The province is entrusted with the task of managing twelve miles off the coast, and one –third of which should be under the jurisdiction of the regency. Scrutinizing of such regulation, the writer is of the opinion that such demarcation of maritime areas will only complicate of problems facing the fisheries sector in Indonesia. Traditional/cultural fishermen consider the sea as an open frontier for everybody. Which is why, whenever there is a party that claims ownership of the sea it, will invite vehement protests from fishermen, as according to them, there is already a mechanism in place to regulate fishing activities. For that reason, the writer recommends the regional government to desist from laying claims to the sea, since they will never be able to effectively control it. The government should instead focus its attention on enforcing the rules of fishing equipment as well as creating competitive fish markets, which should attract fishermen to land their catch in such areas.

Perluasan Kota Dalam Realitas Sosial dan Kultural Masyarakat
T. Yoyok Wahyu Subroto

The expansion of cities is one of the most interesting issues, especially in the backdrop of increasing scarcity of space for the burgeoning population as well as environmental concerns, which among other things, advocate for the preservation of conservation areas on the city’s outskirts. The expansion of cities has resulted into the spatial, social, and cultural transformation of suburban areas. The importance of adopting spatial development pattern for areas on city fringes should foster the formulation of development that should take cognizance of the social and spatial aspects of such areas. Upon implementation, spatial development pattern will facilitate the proper phasing, and direction of the transformation process. Proper urban /city development and expansion should be conducted through five phases, which entail: 1) determining the goal, 2) creating the development and conservation pattern, 3) identifying the area of focus, 4) planning, 5) and implementation. If city development is based on the five phases aforementioned, it should evolve into a controllable expansion pattern, which is known as accretion expansion.

Problematika Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Penduduk Miskin: Kasus Kredit Pundi di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
Tukiran, Suhatmini Hardyastuti, dan Mohammad Nuh

This article presents findings of the research on the evaluation of the program for economic empowerment of the poor, carried out through the mechanism of extending Pundi credit. Research findings indicate that the extension of Pundi credit is yet to achieve the intended objectives. There are some problems encountered in the execution of Pundi credit extension. First and foremost although the Pundi credit had intended to help the poor who own some kind of small business, it couldn’t have reached the properly. Secondly, the red tape employed by the executing regional development bank in Pundi credit is considered time distributing consuming by potential credit beneficiaries. To receive such credit, the future beneficiaries have to have some kind of mortgages as pre-conditions, which by all intense and purposes are hard to fulfill. Thirdly, the guidance has focused more on channeling mechanism than on the much needed of business empowerment. Because of that, the deliverance of Pundi credit as an effort to revitalize the economic function of the poor one should find another appropriate outlet, so the empowerment may be realized.

Ketidakberdayaan Pemilik Sawah dan Ketidakadilan Terhadap Mereka: Kasus Penanaman Tembakau di Klaten
Faturochman and Bimo Walgito

Owners of rice fields in this research express their powerlessness/helplessness when their property is used by another party. This is so because right from the very beginning the government has been treating them unfairly. Such injustice/unfairness is manifested in the procedure, distribution, and the relationship between rice field owners and the government, especially PTPN. From the perspective of procedure, injustice arises from denying rice field owners the opportunity to become actively involved in the cooperation arrangement with the user of their fields (PTPN). From the perspective of distribution, the income of when the rice fields are operated by PTPN is generally lower than that obtained when the field owners operate them. From the vantage point of relationship, the feeling of injustice arises from the existence of a large social gap between the two parties. This research has emphasized on the farmers’ point of view. Nonetheless, results from other studies conducted in the same area, whether on the underlying public policy or history, came up with similar conclusions.
