Elderly people are those who have reached the age of sixty years and above. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2021, the number of elderly in Indonesia is 29.3 million, which makes up to 10.82 percent of the total population. This number will continue to increase, leading to one of the world's most emerging problems, namely aging society. The issue of elderly people is an issue that must be paid attention to. Facts show that many elderly still have to work to meet their living needs. The increasing need for formal elder care provisions puts intensive pressure on providing elderly services and paying attention to social protection systems and service delivery in government-owned nursing homes.

The synergy between local and national initiatives highlights the importance of coordinated efforts to ensure meaningful and real localized implications of the SDGs for society.
Community empowerment is designed to enhance economic development. Government programs that are usually top-down are now formulated to involve the active role of social innovation in the community. This research is focused on community empowerment through indigenous values. Bottom-up community empowerment, namely originating from joint decisions of community groups and for the welfare of the community, as well as assistance from the government, will have long-lasting value. With the indigenous value and indigenous knowledge they have, community groups develop the ability to analyze the condition of their communities and carry out action planning, where community groups are involved from the beginning of the process to the end. This research is intended to validate the community empowerment model of Tamansari Village, Banyuwangi, by using the PRA (Participatory Rural Analysis) concept in the tourism sector. The approach used in this study was post-positivist with qualitative data collection techniques, namely focus group discussions and interviews. The results showed that the community empowerment model in Tamansari Village contains a combination of social innovation and policy concepts. The combination is observed in seven dimensions, namely understanding, institutions, facilitators, implementation of community planning, community capacity building, productive economic business development, and training of community leaders as guides.
The Government is entrusted with two fundamental tasks: crafting superior public policies and delivering public services of the utmost quality. The hallmark of a successful President lies in their ability to ensure that public services rendered under their administration are of impeccable quality. This study, spanning the years 2014 to 2016, employed a quasi-qualitative methodology. The findings revealed that public services during the Jokowi era did not meet the anticipated standards of quality. Consequently, this research proposes five strategic priorities for the future. First and foremost, it is imperative not merely to concentrate on public service provision but to spearhead a concerted effort towards establishing a pervasive culture of high-quality public services. Secondly, there is a pressing need to refine existing policies related to the development of public services, including assessment methodologies. Current policies are reflective of the developmental paradigm typical of emerging nations, characterized by a mindset prevalent in developing countries, particularly in Indonesia. Thirdly, there is a crucial need to elevate performance criteria from mere basic indicators to intermediate metrics that offer substantial value addition. Moreover, striving towards an 'advanced' level of service provision, one that is innovative and creates inherent value, is paramount. Fourthly, it is essential for the bureaucracy to shift its focus from mere reporting of service outcomes to a heightened emphasis on the functional aspects of service delivery. Lastly, fostering a collective public consciousness is pivotal. Public services ought to be perceived as a benevolent endowment from the Government to its citizens, surpassing the realm of rights and duties. This awareness is foundational to nurturing a society where public services are not just a transactional obligation but a cherished privilege bestowed upon the populace by the Government.
The collaborative governance framework today can be used to solve the complexity of the government's problems. One of the problems that can be addressed by implementing collaboration is the development of more prosperous and independent villages. This study aims to analyze collaborative governance practices in village development in relation to village fund budget management. This research was conducted in Kendalbulur Village, Tulungagung Regency, with a qualitative deductive approach, so the primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews and observations. The result of this study is that the implementation of collaborative Governance in Kendalbulur Village faces various dynamics, one of which starts from the content of the village fund policy itself. The interpretation of the village development policy still results in a double argument about whether the village fund policy is to develop more partial rural areas or build more empowerment-oriented villages. This interpretation will later impact the collaboration process between networks of actors in Kendalbulur village so that the established pattern of collaboration will be more complex. The results of collaborative-based village development must consider the starting conditions and dynamics that occur to make institutional design a determinant in the development of Kendalbulur Village.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the Effectiveness of the Use of Village Funds during the COVID-19 Pandemic (Case Study in Hiligeho Village, Tanah Masa District, South Nias Regency). The study focuses on the use of Village Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is from 2020 to 2021. This study seeks to find out how the use of the Village Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Hiligeho Village Government and whether the use of the Village Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic has been effective. The theory used is the theory of effectiveness from Makmur, which includes accuracy in timing, accuracy in cost calculations, accuracy in measurement, accuracy in making choices, accuracy in thinking, accuracy in carrying out orders, accuracy in determining goals and targeting accuracy. With descriptive qualitative research methods, data collection techniques used are interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, to ensure the validity of the data, the researcher applied data triangulation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the use of Village Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Hiligeho Village Government was not yet fully effective. This is known from the implementation of Village Fund priorities, namely the Village Fund for direct cash assistance (BLT), COVID-19 emergency response and Village Cash Intensive Work (PKTD), which are experiencing delays. In addition, several problems in the community empowerment program, such as the distribution of vegetable fertilizer assistance that is not right on target and uneven and the assumption that this program is only for certain groups, cause inequality.
One of the initiatives of the Indonesian government to encourage economic activities and business is the People's Business Credit (KUR) program. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the KUR program using Van Meter and Van Horn's policy implementation model, with variables including the scope and objectives of the policy, resource allocation, characteristics of implementing agents, disposition, and the surrounding environment. This study uses a qualitative method. Data collection is carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation (Sugiyono, 2010). Secondary data used in this study includes documentary studies or literature. The results of the study obtained: 1) The KUR procedure is guided by the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Ministerial Regulation, which serve as guidelines for evaluating the eligibility of prospective borrowers. 2) The loan amount for Micro Enterprises in the KUR program is a maximum of IDR 25 million, while for Small and Medium Enterprises, it is a maximum of IDR 500 million. The majority of KUR providers are state- owned banks. 4) The KUR program is well received by the community, especially customers who need additional business capital. 5) KUR recipients are not on target because there are still many customers who have sufficient economic conditions, such as government officials, business actors, or civil servants. 6) The human resources implementing the KUR program are not permanent and often experience turnover due to work demands. 7) If a KUR customer dies, the program must be continued by his heirs. 8) The human resources implementing the KUR program in the field often do not provide a comprehensive understanding to customers regarding the provisions of the KUR contract, including risks, fines, requirements, and legal agreements.

This study aims to describe the efforts of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law (FISH) of the State University of Surabaya (Unesa) in improving the quality of education during the Covid-19 pandemic within the framework of strategic management theory. This research was motivated by the fact that during the pandemic, lectures at universities switched to online and required students and lecturers to make quick adaptations that have the potential to impact the quality of education. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The focus of the research covers the strategic management process, which includes the phases of environmental observation, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were determined purposively by involving the heads of faculties, departments, and study programs within the FISH Unesa environment. The data analysis technique flow through data collection, data display, data reduction, and concluding. The results showed that the SWOT method was used in the environmental observation phase, specifically identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the institution's internal environment and identifying opportunities and threats to the institution's external factors. At the strategy formulation stage, a lecture strategy was set with the name Limited and Gradual Face-to-Face Lectures (PTMTB). This stage is carried out by preparing the room and health protocols. The implementation of this strategy was carried out starting with a survey via Google Form to students. Not all study programs hold PTMTB depending on the number of students who fill out the Google Form. The faculty carry out the evaluation stage with the Covid-19 Task Force. Based on the findings, several points can be suggested. The institution should make training plans for educational staff to increase competence, increase awareness of education staff to prioritize providing services for the community and increase lecturers number so that the ideal ratio between lecturers and students is met.
This study refining the dengue vulnerability assessment using DVFM to describes the vulnerability of dengue in Malaysia during the period of 15 years to identify high-low risk areas among sample of studies (except Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya). The dengue reported cases in Malaysia were analyzed using the data provided by the Disease Control Division Vector, Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) from 2003-2017. As per literature, factors influencing the vulnerability to infectious disease outbreak were identified as population density, urbanization, medical care workforce, medical care infrastructure, public health delivery, safe water and sanitation as well as economic strength. This framework was tested using empirical cases of dengue outbreak in Malaysia. The dataset used was obtained from widely available data (from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) and Health Indicator Report by MOH). From 2003-2017, 829, 299 cases have been reported in Malaysia. The highest number was recorded in 2015 (63198, Selangor). The key findings from this assessment included the states with their vulnerability and actual dengue reported cases. The results also concluded that the framework prediction did not match the actual outbreak reported. Recently in Malaysia, the reported cases have increased steadily in most areas. The surveillance and control strategies should be strengthened especially for areas with the most vulnerable to dengue outbreak without deprioritizing the least vulnerable state. Further research should be conducted to explore other drivers that may reflect the vulnerability of dengue outbreak.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the gender-responsive budget, its constraints and the strategies to cope with it. This research is motivated by the lack of response of both central and local governments to implementing gender-responsive budget ideas. This study applied the systematic literature review (SLR) method through three stages: Planning, Conducting and Reporting on research results published over the past five years in five international scientific databases, namely the SAGE Journal, Science Direct, Springer Link, Emerald and Google Scholar. The results showed that the implementation of gender-responsive budgets requires strong support from the government and citizens. The obstacles faced in implementing a gender-responsive budget are weak supporting policies, lack of government commitment, lack of understanding of gender concepts, low political support, and reluctance to change. Then the strategies to overcome these obstacles are: determining the focus of budgeting, strengthening the dimension of communication, strengthening commitments, strengthening the quality of human resources, establishing planning and budgeting sections, and building cooperation with institutions. Since the study applied the systematic literature review (SLR) method, the study has a limitation regarding first-hand data. It suggested further research with first-hand data to find out more detail and contextual information on the implementation of the gender-responsive budgets in respective government institutions. Abstrak Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan anggaran responsif gender, kendalanya, dan strategi mengatasinya. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya respon pemerintah baik pusat maupun daerah dalam mengimplementasikan gagasan anggaran yang responsif gender. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode systematic literature review (SLR) melalui tiga tahap: Planning, Conducting dan Reporting terhadap hasil penelitian yang dipublikasikan selama lima tahun terakhir di lima database ilmiah internasional, yaitu SAGE Journal, Science Direct, Springer Link, Emerald dan Google Scholar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi anggaran yang responsif gender membutuhkan dukungan yang kuat dari pemerintah dan masyarakat. Kendala yang dihadapi dalam mengimplementasikan anggaran yang responsif gender adalah lemahnya dukungan kebijakan, kurangnya komitmen pemerintah, kurangnya pemahaman konsep gender, rendahnya dukungan politik, dan keengganan untuk berubah. Kemudian strategi untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut adalah: penentuan fokus penganggaran, penguatan dimensi komunikasi, penguatan komitmen, penguatan kualitas sumber daya manusia, pembentukan seksi perencanaan dan penganggaran, serta membangun kerjasama dengan institusi. Karena penelitian ini menerapkan metode systematic literature review (SLR), penelitian ini memiliki keterbatasan mengenai data primer. Untuk mengetahui informasi lebih detail dan kontekstual tentang pelaksanaan anggaran responsif gender di masing-masing instansi pemerintah, disarankan penelitian empirik dengan menggunakan data primer. Kata kunci: anggaran responsif gender, pengarusutamaan gender, Systematic Literature Review (SLR)
