Role of Local Government toward Policy Implementation Process to Reduce the IMRs and MMRs (Study in Jember district)

The role of fertilizers is significant in increasing production andquality of agricultural commodities. Availability of fertilizers to farmers should be conducted to meet six precise principles:precise in time, precise in size, precise in type, precise in place, precise in quality and precise in the right price. By having these principles farmers can apply a balanced fertilizer technology in accordance with specific recommendations. This study was conducted to assess the distribution of fertilizer subsidy policy in Rokan Hilir, Riau province, Indonesia. Rokan Hilir was chosen because nearly 50% of its revenue comes from agriculture, so that understanding the policy of subsidized fertilizer is noteworthy.This study was conducted in five districts in the administrative area for Rokan Hilir. The method used in this study is qualitative approach with descriptive research. Data collected in this study consist of primary and secondary data on the effectiveness of policy implementation of fertilizer distribution.The results showed that a wide range of alternative approaches have been made to overcome the fertilizer scarcity problems, either by local government or fertilizer manufacturers in Rokan HIlir. The local government asked manufacturers of fertilizers to supply fertilizer in the area in need. This policymay overcome the fertilizers’ shortages and dampen the rise in fertilizer prices in the market. Using this approach, the subsidy was only reflectingdelivery cost to the farmers. However there are some issues that need attention: the audit of the production costs and the operational structure of fertilizer producers need to be performed. This is because there are expenses that irrelevant to the operation of fertilizer producers and large enough. Another concern is no control of fertilizer distribution from upstream to downstream. To overcome this, the Minister of Agriculture should give more authority to local government to control fertilizer distribution. So that the local government head (regent)may distribute the fertilizer subsidy based on land acreage not only acts as fertilizer distributor. Recommendations from this study are also discussed in the article. Keywords: Policy Implementation, Fertilizer Subsidy, Effectiveness

Climate Adaption

Within each policy formulation and implementation process, the options available to the actors are limited both by the rules governing decision-making (institutions) and the related time budgets, which clearly demonstrate the resource-related character of time. Time is frequently scarce, especially for those who consider that the need for a public intervention is urgent (usually the beneficiary groups). Other actors can wait (frequently the target groups) or they may even try to gain time by interrupting both policy formulation and, particularly, policy implementation activities. Thus, (subjective) Time is definitively an omnipresent public action resource. The chapter uses examples from all kinds of emergency policies or policies that are deliberately delayed and hampered through the adoption of time-consuming strategies by one of the three actor groups (environmental policies, natural disaster policies, climate adaption policies, spatial-planning policies). The chapter stresses the role of procedural deadlines, moratoria, time-consuming appeal procedures and, again, the relational character of the resource.

Potential Benefits

Network-based arrangements are increasingly used for policy implementation. Arguments are made for the potential benefits of this approach, but evidence of their efficiency is inconclusive. Recent methodological innovations, incorporating social network analysis, are building the evidence base. This article contributes to a growing area of study by exploring the relationship between the efficient implementation of European Union cohesion policy projects, and the characteristics of the networks involved in the implementation process. The research combined quantitative analysis of implementation of projects in Scotland in 2007–2013 and semi-structured interviews. The research finds that the involvement of many partners can have a negative impact on implementation. Rather, the strategic position of key actors in the network is important for efficient implementation. The results stress the importance of network governance and the role of key agents as nodes that bridge structural gaps and facilitate exchange of knowledge and resources.

Personal Interests

Agent(s) role in the implementation of policies is frequently considered as the determining factor for the success of policy implementation. This is reflected quite clearly in the “principle- agent” theory that describes how self-interested agent influences the implementation process. However, is self-interested agent still relevant in explaining Indonesia’s broadcasting policy implementation? What if policy implementation involved many actors with their respective personal interests? How will agents position themselves amidst numerous personal interest- bearing actors? By using the political economy approach, this research aims to reveal the role of agents in the constellation of actors’ relation to Indonesia’s broadcasting policy implementation. The operation of digital terrestrial free-to-air television broadcasting case is used to provide a reflection of agents’ position and political behavior in responding to the interest among actors. This research was conducted using the qualitative approach by implementing the data collection technique through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The research result shows that broadcasting policy implementation is not merely influenced by a self-interested agent but is also influenced by political interconnection and multiple-principles’ political-economic interest.

Gaps in biodiversity conservation management within the Conservation Area that are the responsibility of the central government and outside the Conservation Areas or as the Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA) which are the authority of the Regional Government, have caused various spatial conflicts between wildlife /wild plants and land management activities. Several obstacles faced by the Local Government to conduct its authority to manage (EEA), caused the number and area of EEA determined by the Local Government to be still low. At present only 703,000 ha are determined from the 67 million ha indicated by EEA. This study aims to overview biodiversity conservation policies by local governments and company perceptions in implementing conservation policies and formulate strategies for optimizing the role of Local Governments. From the results of this study, there has not been found any legal umbrella for the implementation of Law number 23/ 2014 related to the conservation of important ecosystems in the regions. This regulatory vacuum leaves the local government in a dilemma for continuing various conservation programs. By using a SWOT to the internal strategic environment and external stratetegic environment of the Environment and Forestry Service, Bengkulu Province , as well as using an analysis of company perceptions of the conservation policies regulatary , this study has been formulated a “survival strategy” through collaboration between the Central Government, Local Governments and the Private Sector to optimize the role of Local Government’s to establish EEA in the regions.Keywords: Management gaps, Essential Ecosystems Area (EEA), Conservation Areas, SWOT analysis and perception analysis
