isan budaya yang memiliki makna sakral sebagai pedoman kehidupan masyarakat adat dalam menjaga hubungan harmonis antara manusia, leluhur, alam, dan Tuhan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Informan dipilih secara purposive yang terdiri atas kepala kampung, tokoh adat, tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, pemuda, dan masyarakat adat Suku Wambon. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña yang meliputi kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelestarian Kanemoton masih dilakukan melalui pewarisan nilai secara lisan, pelaksanaan ritual adat, penghormatan terhadap kawasan keramat, penerapan hukum adat, serta pembinaan oleh tokoh adat kepada generasi muda. Tokoh adat memiliki peran sentral sebagai penjaga nilai budaya sekaligus penyelesai konflik adat. Namun demikian, pelestarian Kanemoton menghadapi berbagai tantangan berupa modernisasi, globalisasi, masuknya budaya luar, berkurangnya regenerasi pemangku adat, serta minimnya dokumentasi budaya. Di sisi lain, meningkatnya kesadaran masyarakat dan dukungan pemerintah daerah terhadap pelestarian budaya menjadi peluang untuk menjaga keberlangsungan nilai Kanemoton. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pelestarian Kanemoton memerlukan sinergi antara masyarakat adat, pemerintah daerah, lembaga pendidikan, dan generasi muda melalui dokumentasi budaya, pendidikan berbasis kearifan lokal, serta penguatan kelembagaan adat agar nilai budaya tersebut tetap lestari sebagai identitas masyarakat Suku Wambon di tengah dinamika perubahan sosial

with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants included the Head of the Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of Merauke Regency, the Head of the Trade Division, the Head of the Wamanggu Market Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD), the Chairperson of HIPPAM, market traders, and consumers. Data were analysed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the management strategy of Wamanggu Market is implemented through four main aspects: trader registration, trader regulation and enforcement, market management evaluation, and the enforcement of trader discipline. However, the implementation of these strategies has not yet been fully effective. Trader registration continues to rely on outdated data, resulting in discrepancies between administrative records and actual field conditions. Regulatory measures have not been entirely successful, as some traders continue to operate outside the designated market area and kiosk allocation does not always comply with established zoning arrangements. Market management evaluations are conducted regularly; however, follow-up actions have not been sufficient to resolve existing problems significantly. Furthermore, the enforcement of trader discipline remains constrained by low levels of compliance among traders and the inconsistent application of regulations.The study also reveals that market management strategies are influenced by internal factors, including limitations in human resources, infrastructure, budget availability, and inter-agency coordination, as well as external factors such as regulatory frameworks, trader participation, environmental conditions, market dynamics, and consumer behaviour. Therefore, improvements in human resource capacity, stronger institutional coordination, enhanced infrastructure, and the development of adaptive management strategies are necessary to achieve more effective and sustainable management of Wamanggu Market.

, Merauke Regency. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data analysis techniques using sources according to Miles and Huberman, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The number of informants in this study was 10 informants. research results. Based on the discussion of the three dimensions of tangible public service, reliability, and responsiveness, it can be concluded that public services in Harapan Makmur Village have shown real efforts to meet community expectations, although their implementation still faces various challenges. In terms of tangible, the availability of information boards is quite good physically, but not yet fully effective in conveying messages clearly and inclusively. From the aspect of reliability, the commitment to timely and procedural services is indeed visible, but it is not evenly distributed and there are still complaints regarding inconsistency. Meanwhile, in terms of responsiveness, village officials have shown good intentions to respond to community needs, but consistency in responding to complaints and needs of residents still needs to be improved.

ve approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The study analyzes organizational effectiveness based on four indicators: Human Relations (focusing on organizational involvement), Open System Model (adaptation and innovation), Internal Process Model, and Rational Goal Model (productivity and goal achievement). The results show that in Kampung Jaya Makmur, the head of the farmer group association has never conducted socialization or training for farmer groups on how to produce or provide natural fertilizers using locally available materials, despite the uncertainty of continuous fertilizer supply. The effectiveness of farmer group associations in empowering the community is highly needed to support farmers in becoming more independent. Farmer group associations can provide services such as access to technological information and capital, as well as establish partnerships with external parties. This study recommends that farmer group associations strengthen participation and member involvement through more regular deliberation forums and active engagement of all levels of farmers. It also emphasizes the need to enhance the use of technology and alternative agricultural methods, such as organic fertilizers, and to expand training and mentoring programs so that farmers can reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers.

se of this study is to analyze public perceptions of the implementation of the principles of accountability, transparency, openness, and the rule of law in public services in Gurinda Jaya Village, Merauke Regency, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive approach through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of village officials and community service users. The results indicate that the implementation of good governance principles has not been optimal, characterized by discrepancies in service delivery times with established standards, limited public understanding of service information, inconsistent transparency practices, and an unfulfilled sense of justice and legal certainty in public services. The study's conclusion confirms that strengthening apparatus capacity, improving discipline and integrity, and strengthening village government commitment and community participation are important implications for realizing more effective and accountable village governance.

nstitutional and structural challenges in developing an effective and integrated fire control system. This study aims to analyze the implementation of forest and land fire control policies and identify factors influencing their effectiveness. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The study applies Edward III’s policy implementation framework focusing on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that although the regulatory framework is adequate, implementation remains constrained by limited resources, suboptimal inter-agency coordination, and low public awareness. Compared to provinces such as Riau and Central Kalimantan, South Papua is still in the institutional strengthening phase. This study proposes a collaborative and community-based preventive approach rooted in local wisdom as a long-term strategy for sustainable fire management.

retically grounded in Amirullah’s (2017) leadership framework, which emphasizes leader–member relations, task structure, and position power, and Sariani’s (2020) motivation theory, focusing on educational background, personal expectations, and job satisfaction. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to capture in-depth perspectives on leadership practices and motivational dynamics within a newly established provincial government organization. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. A total of 22 informants, comprising senior officials, section heads, and staff members, were purposively selected based on their institutional roles and direct involvement in organizational processes. The findings indicate that leadership style significantly influences employees’ work motivation. Effective leadership is reflected in open and transparent communication, participatory decision-making, clear task delegation, consistent supervision, and fair recognition of employee performance. Moreover, job satisfaction, clarity of work roles, coordination across organizational units, availability of work facilities, and opportunities for capacity building emerged as critical supporting factors in sustaining motivation. The study concludes that a communicative, participative, and supportive leadership style is essential for strengthening work motivation and improving organizational effectiveness in public sector institutions, particularly within developing regional government contexts.

Abstract:Penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas implementasi barcode MyPertamina dalam distribusi BBM subsidi di Kabupaten Merauke dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur dan kerangka Mazmanian & Sabatier. Digitalisasi melalui…
alui QR Code diterapkan sebagai upaya menertibkan pendataan dan meningkatkan pengawasan transaksi BBM subsidi, namun pelaksanaannya masih menghadapi sejumlah kendala. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketidakteraturan administrasi kendaraan, rendahnya literasi digital masyarakat, dan keterbatasan akses teknologi menjadi faktor yang menghambat proses pendaftaran dan verifikasi. Selain itu, kapasitas kelembagaan daerah serta pengawasan di lapangan belum sebanding dengan kompleksitas distribusi energi di wilayah yang luas dan terpencar. Kondisi ini membuat kebijakan berjalan parsial dan belum sepenuhnya memenuhi tujuan ketepatan sasaran subsidi. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya dukungan struktural, peningkatan literasi teknologi, serta koordinasi antar lembaga agar digitalisasi BBM subsidi dapat berjalan lebih efektif dan inklusif di tingkat daerah.
