cted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving 11 informants consisting of leaders and staff members. The findings indicate that HR quality plays a significant role in determining the effectiveness of public service delivery. In terms of competence, employees are generally capable of performing routine tasks; however, their mastery of digital technology remains limited. Professionalism is considered adequate but not yet optimal due to limited human resources and high workloads. Employees’ adaptability to technological and organizational changes varies among individuals. HR development programs have been implemented through training, but they are not yet systematic or evenly distributed. Meanwhile, employee motivation and job satisfaction are relatively good, although still influenced by limited facilities and reward systems. Overall, improving public service effectiveness at LPP RRI Merauke requires strengthening competencies, professionalism, adaptability, and sustainable, needs-based HR development strategies.
Abstract:Forest and land fires constitute a strategic environmental issue affecting ecological stability, public health, and sustainable regional development. As a newly established autonomous region, South Papua Province faces institutional…
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.

rupa sumber daya perikanan, kearifan lokal masyarakat adat, serta modal sosial yang kuat, namun belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal dalam mendukung pencapaian Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Development Goals/SDGs). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan potensi lokal Kampung Matara dalam mendorong pencapaian SDGs, khususnya pada aspek pengentasan kemiskinan, ketahanan pangan, pekerjaan layak, dan pelestarian ekosistem pesisir. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan studi dokumentasi dengan melibatkan aparat kampung, tokoh adat, nelayan, dan masyarakat pesisir. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif-analitis melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan potensi lokal di Kampung Matara telah berkontribusi terhadap pencapaian SDGs, namun masih bersifat parsial dan belum terintegrasi dalam kebijakan pembangunan kampung. Keterbatasan kapasitas kelembagaan, akses pasar, serta dukungan kebijakan menjadi faktor penghambat utama. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penguatan tata kelola lokal berbasis potensi pesisir dan kearifan lokal merupakan strategi penting dalam mendorong pembangunan berkelanjutan di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Merauke.

nya diimbangi dengan tata kelola yang kuat dan penerapan sistem digitalisasi rantai nilai yang menjamin keberlanjutan serta transparansi. Sebagian besar petani sawit swadaya di Papua Selatan masih menghadapi kendala pada literasi digital, akses teknologi, kelembagaan yang lemah, serta belum adanya sistem ketertelusuran (traceability system) yang memenuhi standar keberlanjutan seperti Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) dan European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kesiapan petani sawit swadaya terhadap implementasi sistem pemetaan digital rantai nilai di Papua Selatan, dengan fokus pada tiga dimensi utama: kelembagaan lokal, kapasitas digital petani, dan dukungan kebijakan. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap petani, aparat kampung, koperasi, dan dinas terkait di Kabupaten Merauke dan Boven Digoel, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap kebijakan daerah dan laporan keberlanjutan. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman (1994) yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kesiapan digital petani masih tergolong rendah hingga sedang akibat minimnya literasi dan infrastruktur penunjang, namun terdapat potensi penguatan kelembagaan koperasi serta dukungan pemerintah daerah. Penelitian ini menawarkan kerangka kesiapan digital petani sawit berbasis konteks lokal Papua Selatan yang mengintegrasikan aspek kelembagaan, teknologi, dan kebijakan untuk mewujudkan sistem ketertelusuran berbasis komunitas yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan.

The conclusion of this study shows the need for participatory and adaptive strategic planning in facing the dynamics of sustainable village development.
Abstract:The palm oil industry plays a strategic role in Indonesia's economy, including in Merauke Regency, which is one of the developing palm oil plantation areas in Papua. However, challenges in production efficiency, environmental…
ental sustainability, and competitiveness remain obstacles in the industry's value chain. Innovation in various aspects of the value chain, such as productivity improvement through agricultural technology, processing efficiency, and product diversification based on palm oil, is a key factor in enhancing the industry's competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the role of innovation in the palm oil industry value chain in Merauke Regency by identifying the types of innovations applied and the factors that support or hinder their adoption. The research employs a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The findings indicate that upstream sector innovations, such as the use of superior seedlings and digital plantation management, have improved productivity and efficiency. Meanwhile, downstream innovations in palm oil processing and value-added product diversification still face challenges, particularly in infrastructure and regulatory aspects. The study's implications suggest that optimizing innovation in the palm oil value chain requires more adaptive policies, increased investment in research and development, and capacity building for human resources. Thus, innovation can serve as a driving force in creating a more competitive, sustainable palm oil industry that contributes to local economic development in Merauke Regency.

and communication. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the KIM program's implementation, covering aspects of planning, execution, and its impact on the community. The research method employed is a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and document studies. The evaluation results indicate that the KIM program has positively contributed to improving community information literacy, particularly in rural areas. However, several challenges were identified, such as limited human resources, uneven technological infrastructure, and low community participation in certain activities. Therefore, strategic measures are needed, including enhancing the capacity of KIM members, expanding access to information technology, and optimizing synergy between local government, local communities, and other stakeholders. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing a more effective and sustainable KIM program in the future.

Abstract:Principal academic supervision management is a crucial factor in improving elementary school teacher performance amid the increasing demands for educational quality and digital transformation in the Grogol District, Cilegon…
gon City. The background of the study indicates persistent issues in teacher performance, including suboptimal lesson planning, less innovative teaching methods, and limited integration of educational technology. The research problem is formulated as how principals manage academic supervision to enhance teacher performance through planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up processes. This study employs a qualitative case study approach involving eleven public elementary schools. The findings reveal that academic supervision is conducted systematically, collaboratively, and continuously through classroom observations, reflective discussions, workshops, and On-the-Job Training supported by the Academic Learning System. The results indicate a 15 percent improvement in teacher performance, increasing from 75 to 95, as well as an 80 percent improvement in school learning achievement. The study concludes that integrated, collaborative, and technology-based academic supervision management significantly enhances teacher professionalism. The novelty of this research lies in the development of a digital-collaborative supervision model that integrates teacher participation, continuous professional development, and real-time digital monitoring systems to ensure more effective, efficient, and measurable teacher performance management. Supporting factors include principal commitment, teacher openness, collaborative school culture, and technological support. In contrast, the main obstacles include time constraints, administrative workload, and variations in teacher competence. The findings imply that academic supervision should be managed as adaptive, participatory, and sustainable professional development oriented toward continuous improvement of learning quality in Indonesian elementary schools, serving as a reference for developing a more effective, systematic, and sustainable digital-collaborative supervision model.
