Introduction: Implementation of government policies in tackling the Covid 19 pandemic in Indonesia is an effort by the government to deal with cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). By understanding the efforts, steps, and policies formulated and implemented by the government, it can be assessed the handling strategy. Method: To analyze used deliberative policy analysis approach. This approach analyzes the narratives and arguments of the authorities to understand decision-making and policy implementation. This paper uses a qualitative approach by utilizing descriptive methods of analysis. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used are literature studies that utilize government regulations, FMD, KMK, SE, journal articles, online news as well as the websites of authoritative institutions. The results of this analysis are: first, a positive and negative narrative to the government's response to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 because it has expanded various policies for covid-management and formed a task force and task force to combat COVID even though some policies are considered too late. Second, coordination between stakeholders, between the central government and local governments, between ministries and other state institutions already exist in the regulations of their respective ministries but have not been well-coordinated in their implementation so that it seems as if each moves on their own and some seem contradictory. Third, residents are still disobedient, indifferent to the government's call for discipline in implementing health protocols. This results in slower handling efforts because there is no awareness that pandemics can be controlled faster if the community actively provides support. Conclusion: This combination of three factors plays a major role in the government's efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia although it still needs improvement along with the pandemic in Indonesia.

The core executive is a new concept replacing the conventional debate about the power of the prime minister and the Cabinet. It refers to all those organizations and procedures that coordinate central government policies, and act as final arbiters of conflict between different parts of the government machine. In brief, the ‘core executive’ is the heart of the machine. The chapter reviews the several approaches to studying the British executive: prime ministerial government; prime ministerial cliques; Cabinet government; ministerial government; segmented decision-making; and bureaucratic coordination. It then discusses several ways forward by developing new theory and methods. The Afterword discusses the core executive as interlocking networks, and the fluctuating patterns of executive politics.

Watershed Governance

This paper, which is focused on evaluating the policies and institutional control of the Brantas River Basin, East Java, Indonesia, aims to review government regulations on watershed governance in Indonesia. A qualitative approach to content analysis is used to explain and layout government regulations regarding planning, implementation, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, and accountability of the central and local governments in managing the Brantas watershed, East Java, Indonesia. Nvivo 12 Plus software is used to map, analyze, and create data visualization to answer research questions. This study reveals that the management regulations of the Brantas watershed, East Java, Indonesia, are based on a centralized system, which places the central government as an actor who plays an essential role in the formulation, implementation, and accountability of the Brantas watershed management. In contrast, East Java Province’s regional government only plays a role in implementing and evaluating policies. The central government previously formulated the Brantas watershed. This research contributes to strengthening the management and institutional arrangement of the central government and local governments that support the realization of good governance of the Brantas watershed. Future research needs to apply a survey research approach that focuses on evaluating the capacity of the central government and local governments in supporting good management of the Brantas watershed.

Significance The new rules follow a stand-off between Twitter and the central government last month over some posts and accounts. The government has used this stand-off as an opportunity not only to tighten rules governing social media, including Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook and LinkedIn, but also those for other digital service providers including news publishers and entertainment streaming companies. Impacts Government moves against dominant social media platforms will boost the appeal of smaller platforms with light or no content moderation. Hate speech and harmful disinformation are especially hard to control and curb on smaller platforms. The new rules will have a chilling effect on online public discourse, increasing self-censorship (at the very least). Government action against online news media would undercut fundamental democratic freedoms and the right to dissent. Since US-based companies dominate key segments of the Indian digital market, India’s restrictive rules could mar India-US ties.

The initiatives of Citizen’s Charter are an effort in solving citizen’s problems that they encounter regularly over a long time while dealing with the government or any other organizations. It is a document of an official statement that ensures the accountability of the organization and their commitment towards the citizen in providing the quality of service. The charter aimed to revolutionize public service by empowering the people who were so long regarded as a silent spectator and a mere receiver on the government policies and programmes. In a democratic country, citizens have become more vocals towards the government responsibilities and they expect the administration not only to respond to their demands but also to foresee their needs in the future. In India, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances in Government (DARPG) is in charge of organizing, directing, formulating, and operationalizing Citizen's Charters at the Central Government as well as States Government. However, the fulfillment of Citizen’s Charter in India faced many difficulties due to its government bureaucratic structure and resistant to change in its working system.

<p>Today the world has entered the era of modern air transport where human movement needed to support facilities and infrastructure that support for the movement of activity. The number of routes and flights are always growing by leaps and bounds every year.</p><p>In Indonesia alone by more than 10 of the largest airliner in which two, namely Garuda Indonesia and Lion Airline, based on data in 2012 each have no less than 50 routes per day and more than 4,000 flights per week [1] (web magazine ZonaAero). To support the security and safety of air transport, the government through the aviation authorities are trying to build an adequate infrastructure. A number of local governments and central government together with Angkasa Pura and Airnav Indonesia (LPPNPI) has a lot to develop the airport terminal, lengthen and widen the runway, install instrument flight (radar, DVOR, ILS etc.), and make the regulations more guarantees The good level of a security and aviation safety.</p><p>However, for things that are not desirable that may occur as aircraft accidents, it is necessary to support the system also prepared to facilitate the search for the location of the accident. Still clear in our memory how when, on May 9, 2012 a plane Sukhoi Superjet 100 has crashed in the promotion and demonstration flights. It takes more than one day to find the crash site in the area around Mount Salak located less than 100 kilometers from the capital city of Jakarta [2] (Indonesia Wikipedia).</p><p>The distance of time ranging from a loss of communication with the aircraft until the discovery of the accident scene will be very good if it can be reduced to as small as possible. This will help Basarnas and NTSC accelerate the process of investigation and to provide certainty for the families of the victims as well as those of other interested parties.</p>Location tracking system of aircraft accident would be able to find the location of a plane crash just a few moments after the breakdown of communication between the aircraft control tower / flight controller.

South Korea has taken steps to achieve the Aichi Target 11 and several pieces of South Korean legislation require the government to make every effort to protect the ocean from pollution and manage conservation consistently. However, protected area coverage is recognized to be well short of target and recent assessment reports reveal that most MPAs are not managed well. The reasons for mismanagement are complex: lack of budget, lack of understanding among local residents and communities, vague jurisdictional boundaries between the regional office of the central government and the local governments, shortage of experts, etc. Therefore, the immediate and primary task for the government is to establish more effective management systems rather than increase the number and areas of the MPAs.

The peat phenomenon that occurs in Riau Province negatively impacts the environmental conditions resulting from the management and utilization of peat ecosystem areas that are out of control and irresponsible. For example, forest fires and land that occurred have an impact of smoke haze that hit Riau and Sumatra region. This study aims to analyze the Effectiveness of Peat Restoration in Riau Province. This research is done by using qualitative method. The peatland restoration program that has been established in several districts in Riau Province is also influenced by several factors that influence the implementation process, including the following: (1) Conceptualization of Peatland Restoration Program. Since the restoration program has been rolled out, there are still many parties who do not understand what peatland restoration is. This caused inequality in the implementation of the restoration program. So far, the community considers restoration of peatlands to the extent of government tasks, and for local governments the restoration program is only a pilot project of the central government. In fact, it is wrong, therefore the conceptualization of this restoration must be clear and submitted continuously to the government apparatus, stakeholders and the community. (2) Implementing Institutional Preparedness The readiness of the implementing agency in this case is whether the institutions involved in this peat land restoration program are ready to implement with all the preparations in the form of activity designs, socialization to be performed, supporting funding, and how to respond to society. (3) The Encouragement of Good Local and Formal Figures at Provincial, District, District and Village Levels. In implementing peatland restoration programs, encouragement or support of parties other than those of the relevant official are indispensable, both formal and informal. The conclusions of this study indicate that overall government efforts to implement peat restoration have not been too effective. Some districts have successfully restored their peatlands but in some districts peat restoration has not been an important agenda in the formulation and implementation of policies in the district

Natuna regency is a rich area of natural resource products, but still includes underdeveloped areas in Riau Islands Province. Local governments have to make fundamental changes in building the infrastructure aspects, economic, and human resources to eliminate underdevelopment and reduce dependency on central government. The aims of this research are: (1). to evaluate the effectiveness and stakeholders’ perception of the CD program, in terms of participation and partnership; and (2) to formulate a strategy for synergizing the CD Program of Star Energy with the local government’s development program. The analytical methods that are used in this research are descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis. This research was undertaken in Palmatak Sub District and Siantan Sub District of Natuna District of Kepulauan Riau Province, from June until October, 2008. The results indicated that the government stakeholders perceived that the participation of the CD program’s beneficiaries was adequate, and that the partnership between Star Energy and the local government was inadequate. The result of SWOT analysis suggested that Star Energy needs to focus its CD program on sustainable activities, such as economic development and education programs. The strategy for increasing synergy with the local development programs is to intensify communication between the company and the local government through the formation of community development partnership forum.Keywords: Community Development (CD), Effectiveness, Policy Strategy
