Dengan mengandalkan ketahanan domestik tanpa dukungan komunitas internasional, Taiwan yang terkucil dari pergaulan dunia berhasil mengendalikan pandemi COVID-19. Meskipun Taiwan memiliki kedekatan geografis dengan China yang menjadi pusat bermulanya wabah COVID-19, negara ini hanya mencatatkan 467 total kasus COVID-19 yang terkonfirmasi hingga 31 Juli 2020. Melalui respons cepat berbasiskan integrasi mahadata, Taiwan mampu mencegah penularan COVID-19 yang lebih luas. Ketika situasi kesehatan domestik telah terkendali, Taiwan mulai melancarkan aksi global dengan mendonasikan masker medis ke berbagai negara. Diplomasi masker merupakan upaya yang ditempuh Taiwan untuk meraih citra positif di panggung dunia. Dalam artikel ini, penulis menemukan bahwa keberhasilan strategi Taiwan dalam menangani pandemi di tingkat domestik mendorong Taipei berupaya terlibat aktif dalam tata-kelola kesehatan global demi meningkatkan peran internasionalnya. Namun, upaya itu terhadang oleh isolasi diplomatik yang terus dilakukan China sejak Tsai Ing-wen menjabat sebagai presiden pada 2016. Untuk membahas isu tersebut, artikel ini terbagi menjadi tiga bagian. Pertama, kecepatan respons Taiwan dalam mencegah penularan COVID-19. Kedua, ketepatan strategi Taiwan dalam menyelesaikan pandemi sehingga melejitkan citra negara ini di tataran global. Ketiga, tantangan Taiwan untuk meningkatkan peran internasional di tengah isolasi diplomatik.Kata-kata Kunci: kecepatan respons, integrasi mahadata, diplomasi masker, peran internasional.As a diplomatically isolated country, Taiwan cannot lie to the international community in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation is supposed to be obstacles for Taiwan, but the country can successfully control the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to its domestic resilience. Despite its geographic proximity with China, Taiwan has only confirmed 467 COVID-19 total cases by July 31, 2020. Through quick response based on big data integration, Taiwan has prevented COVID-19 from spreading around the country. While Taiwan can control its domestic situation, the government begins to launch global action for donating medical masks to many countries. Through mask diplomacy, Taiwan is expected to gain a positive image on the globe. Following its success in dealing with the pandemic at the local level, Taiwan is getting involved in global health order to improve its international role. However, this effort is challenged by diplomatic isolation imposed by China since President Tsai Ing-wen was in her office in 2016. This paper examines the issue and consists of three sections—first, Taiwan’s quick response in preventing COVID-19 transmission. Second, Taiwan’s strategy in dealing with the pandemic. Third, Taiwan’s challenges in improving its international roles.Keywords: quick response, big data integration, mask diplomacy, international role.

Stakeholders find it difficult to make decisions for both breeders and supporting sectors due to unorganized agribusiness data on beef cattle, it seems very limited information on it. The activities related to this business have not been recorded well, from male selection, feed management, cultivation, as well as marketing and traceability—these factors have caused price disparities in meat to become commonplace. Thus, a model of breeder empowerment is needed through big data maturity. Data play a crucial role in the planning and development of agriculture and agribusiness. The results of the analysis on efforts to digitalize and integrate data on beef cattle business confirm that the progress stops at the Nascent phase. Data digitalization at the Agency for Agriculture Extension of Kediri is at the Nascent phase, while at the Department of Food Security and Livestock Service is in between the Nascent and pre-adoption phase. Data integration in other agencies, such as the Regional Central Bureau of Statistics of Kediri, the Regional Information and Communication Office of Kediri, and the Directorate General of Livestock, fall into the corporate adoption and mature phase. As can be seen, data have not been well-integrated within one interconnected system. The availability of such a model of data integration will be a good alternative in empowering breeders of beef cattle and the public sector, it will also find communication easier with the existence of the model. The government eventually will be able to better improve performance based on the digital data available.

This chapter discusses the history of and responses to global epidemics of serious diseases. Case studies of cholera, influenza, and HIV/AIDS illustrate typical reactions to pandemic events. The initial stages of a pandemic are often characterized by collective anxiety and a desire for isolation. As the pandemic progresses, there are calls for collective global responses to protect human security and contain outbreaks while maintaining international trade and travel. As pandemics enter a recovery phase, there is often a shift toward the use of advocacy to promote international cooperation, secure continued funding for global health activities, and advance other strategic goals. The rhetoric of pandemics is now being used to describe obesity and other emerging noncommunicable diseases because the language of pandemics connotes risk and demands global action. Pandemics are the result of global interactions and globalization processes, and studies of pandemics are, by definition, global studies.

This paper examines the main issues regarding higher education in Korea—where college education experienced minimal interruptions—during the COVID-19 pandemic through a big data analysis of news articles. By analyzing policy responses from the government and colleges and examining prominent discourses on higher education, it provides a context for discussing the implications of COVID-19 on education policy and what the post-pandemic era would bring. To this end, we utilized BIgKinds, a big data research solution for news articles offered by the Korea Press Foundation, to select a total of 2636 media reports and conducted Topic Modelling based on LDA algorithms using NetMiner. The analyses are split into three distinct periods of COVID-19 spread in the country. Some notable topics from the first phase are remote class, tuition refund, returning Chinese international students, and normalization of college education. Preparations for the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), contact and contactless classes, preparations for early admissions, and supporting job market candidates are extracted for the second phase. For the third phase, the extracted topics include CSAT and college-specific exams, quarantine on campus, social relations on campus, and support for job market candidates. The results confirmed widespread public attention to the relevant issues but also showed empirically that the measures taken by the government and college administrations to combat COVID-19 had limited visibility among media reports. It is important to note that timely and appropriate responses from the government and colleges have enabled continuation of higher education in some capacity during the pandemic. In addition to the media’s role in reporting issues of public interest, there is also a need for continued research and discussion on higher education amid COVID-19 to help effect actual results from various policy efforts.

AbstractThe public sector, private firms, business community, and civil society are generating data that is high in volume, veracity, velocity and comes from a diversity of sources. This kind of data is known as big data. Public Administrations (PAs) pursue big data as “new oil” and implement data-centric policies to transform data into knowledge, to promote good governance, transparency, innovative digital services, and citizens’ engagement in public policy. From the above, the Government Big Data Ecosystem (GBDE) emerges. Managing big data throughout its lifecycle becomes a challenging task for governmental organizations. Despite the vast interest in this ecosystem, appropriate big data management is still a challenge. This study intends to fill the above-mentioned gap by proposing a data lifecycle framework for data-driven governments. Through a Systematic Literature Review, we identified and analysed 76 data lifecycles models to propose a data lifecycle framework for data-driven governments (DaliF). In this way, we contribute to the ongoing discussion around big data management, which attracts researchers’ and practitioners’ interest.

Current Utilization

With the advancement of technology, digitalization, and the internet of things, large amounts of complex data are being produced daily. This vast quantity of various data produced at high speed is referred to as Big Data. The utilization of Big Data is being implemented with success in the private sector, yet the public sector seems to be falling behind despite the many potentials Big Data has already presented. In this regard, this paper explores ways in which the government can recognize the use of Big Data for official statistics. It begins by gathering and presenting Big Data-related initiatives and projects across the globe for various types and sources of Big Data implemented. Further, this paper discusses the opportunities, challenges, and risks associated with using Big Data, particularly in official statistics. This paper also aims to assess the current utilization of Big Data in the country through focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Based on desk review, discussions, and interviews, the paper then concludes with a proposed framework that provides ways in which Big Data may be utilized by the government to augment official statistics.

The main task of planning documents is to achieve maximal rationality in the use of space, spatial resources, and balanced territorial development. The preparation of plans is regulated by a legislative framework, which embraces multiple phases and stakeholders. In a perfect planning process, it would be expected that all the elements are well coordinated and brought to common understanding, but in reality, obstacles and challenges can occur in any of these steps, especially in the implementation phase. Although a plan is fully prepared to be practiced, its implementation might be omitted. Therefore, this article analyzes the full process of spatial and urban planning from the perspective of plan implementation. The methodology is based on a combination of different data collection methods (interviews, fieldwork, direct observation) with the analysis of plans and the particular mention of those plans that picture the implementation issues the most. Also, legislative acts and semi-annual and annual reports on the achievements of the local government budget are analyzed. The approach indicates that plan implementation depends the most on the willingness of the government to perform changes in the system and to peruse punitive policy comprehensively. Although it is about implementation at the local level, the success primarily depends on clear definitions given in the legislative acts, freedom of the local communities to make their own decisions, and financial decentralization, side by side with the regional and local circumstances, institutional technical and staff capacities, and application of participatory planning that involves actors from various sectors.
