The existence of the PDAM is one of the things that must be observed because it is one of the Regional Owned Enterprises that provides public services. The urgency of regional business entities in the form of PDAMs becomes increasingly important, considering that as a business entity, the PDAM does not only function to provide services to the community in the form of clean water. But it is also required to be able to contribute economically to the region, so that the area is able to be independent as the essence of autonomy given to the area. This study was designed using a qualitative and quantitative approach. A qualitative approach was developed in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the cooperation built by the PDAM with other parties. Cooperation is built by basing on the vision, mission and objectives of the PDAM to provide better service. The focus of the research was developed from the stages of collaborative governance proposed by Ratner. While the quantitative approach was developed to explore customer responses related to cooperation established by PDAMs to improve services. The purpose of this study is to create a customer service model based on customer recommendations. This goal is based on a shift in the practice of public services that must be able to respond to customer needs satisfactorily, without violating rules and application of applicable service ethics. In addition, there is also a theoretical shift from government to governance.

Applying the mixed-method approach (a questionnaire and interviews), the study examines the frequency of dictionary use, the types of dictionaries used, activities initiating dictionary consultation, information searched for, and problems faced in using dictionaries. The findings suggest that the participants are most fond of bilingual online dictionaries and use them mostly for looking up the meaning of unknown words. They also show that despite being high consumers of technology, participants do not benefit much from online dictionaries, as they neglect most of the entry information. The qualitative data reveal that the participants perceive various digital tools of questionable quality as online dictionaries. Overall, the study sheds light on the characteristic behavior of the new generation of EFL learners regarding their dictionary use and points to the necessity of developing their digital competence in the realm of dictionary use.
