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.

l proyek tebu PT Global Papua Abadi terhadap masyarakat adat Merauke. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan dengan menganalisis data sekunder dari jurnal ilmiah, laporan penelitian, dan dokumen kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga dampak sosial utama: (1) perubahan akses lahan dan hilangnya zona tradisional berburu, meramu, dan mengambil sagu yang mengancam ketahanan budaya; (2) transformasi mata pencaharian dari ekonomi subsisten ke ekonomi uang yang menciptakan ketimpangan internal komunitas; dan (3) fragmentasi sosial akibat perbedaan sikap terhadap proyek yang melemahkan kohesi masyarakat adat. Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya pendekatan pembangunan yang menghormati hak-hak masyarakat adat dan mendorong pertumbuhan daerah yang inklusif serta berkelanjutan.

tujuan menganalisis bagaimana politik identitas dikonstruksi, diperebutkan, dan dimobilisasi dalam konteks pembentukan provinsi baru tersebut. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus intrinsik, penelitian dilakukan di empat kabupaten, Merauke, Mappi, Asmat, dan Boven Digoel., melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi non-partisipatif, serta analisis dokumen kebijakan dan literatur ilmiah. Analisis tematik digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi pola dan makna dalam dinamika identitas yang muncul. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa politik identitas memainkan peran ganda: sebagai narasi pemersatu untuk melegitimasi pemekaran dan sebagai sumber fragmentasi akibat diferensiasi identitas sub-etnis. Elite lokal memanfaatkan identitas kultural dan historis untuk memperoleh legitimasi politik, sementara masyarakat adat menggunakan identitas sebagai alat negosiasi representasi dan kontrol atas sumber daya. Di sisi lain, negara menempatkan pemekaran sebagai strategi stabilisasi dan percepatan pembangunan. Perbedaan orientasi ini menciptakan ruang negosiasi yang terus berlangsung dalam konsolidasi pemerintahan Papua Selatan. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan provinsi baru bergantung pada kemampuan mengelola identitas secara inklusif, memastikan representasi OAP, dan mencegah dominasi elite dalam struktur kekuasaan daerah.

tudi literatur sistematis, di mana data dikumpulkan dari berbagai jurnal ilmiah, buku, dan laporan penelitian yang relevan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan pendekatan naratif-interpretatif untuk mengidentifikasi tema-tema utama dan tren yang muncul. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa HRD memiliki tiga peran utama dalam pengembangan organisasi, yaitu (1) peran strategis dalam menyelaraskan tujuan individu dengan visi organisasi, (2) peran operasional melalui program-program pelatihan dan pengembangan, serta (3) peran transformasional dalam memfasilitasi perubahan budaya dan struktur organisasi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa HRD bukan sekadar fungsi administratif, melainkan mitra strategis yang esensial dalam memastikan keberlanjutan dan pertumbuhan organisasi di tengah dinamika lingkungan bisnis.

is increasingly crucial in promoting digital literacy to enhance access, understanding, and utilization of information technology among communities. This study aims to examine and optimize the role of KIM in improving digital literacy in Merauke Regency. A qualitative approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with several active KIM groups in Merauke. The results show that although KIM holds great potential as agents of digital literacy, limitations in human resource capacity, technological infrastructure, and lack of training are the main challenges. Therefore, optimizing the role of KIM requires regular training, cross-sector collaboration, and regulatory and budgetary support from the local government. Thus, KIM can become key drivers in building an inclusive and competitive digital society in Merauke.

cial instruments for guaranteeing community rights to quality basic services, including civil administration services. Despite their establishment, challenges persist in ensuring that services provided align with the stipulated standards. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Key informants included the head of the department, service-providing staff, and representatives of community service users. The findings indicate that MSS implementation at Merauke Disdukcapil has generally been underway, though its effectiveness varies across service types. Some MSS indicators, such as service waiting times and cost certainty, have been well-met. However, challenges are still present in aspects like the availability of adequate human resources, sub-optimal socialization of MSS to the community, and the need for improved supporting infrastructure. Limited access to information and public understanding of service rights also act as inhibiting factors. Thus, the effectiveness of MSS at Merauke Disdukcapil can be enhanced through strengthening human resource capacity, improving facilities and infrastructure, and intensifying socialization efforts. This study recommends the necessity of regular evaluation and continuous improvement to ensure excellent civil administration services for all communities in Merauke.

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.

The research problem addressed is how the implementation of e-Government in Merauke Regency can improve the quality of public services and what obstacles are encountered during its implementation. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, where data is collected through interviews with local government officials, direct observations in several agencies implementing e-Government, and document analysis related to policies and system implementation.
The findings indicate that while the implementation of e-Government in Merauke has improved the accessibility and efficiency of public services, several challenges remain, including inadequate technological infrastructure, limited human resource capacity, and low levels of digital literacy among the population. However, positive outcomes were also noted, such as the reduction of bureaucracy, acceleration of service processes, and increased transparency in public administration management. This study recommends that the Merauke government strengthen technological infrastructure, provide continuous training for government officials, and raise public awareness regarding the importance of utilizing digital systems.
