This study aims to analyze the implementation of Management Information Systems (MIS) in the Bandar Lampung City Trade Office by highlighting the adaptive interaction between the organizational environment and public administration practices. Using an ethnographic-based qualitative approach, this study explores how employees adapt to digital policies, how communication and coordination patterns are formed, and how the dynamics of bureaucratic work change in the context of information technology implementation. The results show that MIS can improve administrative efficiency, accelerate reporting, and strengthen the transparency and accountability of public services. The transformation from manual to digital processes creates a data-driven work culture and improves cross-departmental coordination. However, a number of challenges remain, such as infrastructure limitations, digital competency gaps, and the need for ongoing training. In addition, leadership has proven to play a crucial role through supervision, motivation, and support for employees during the adaptation process. Theoretically, this research enriches the study of organizational ecology in the context of public sector digitalization. Practically, these findings emphasize the importance of strengthening human resource capacity and transformational leadership for the sustainability of MIS implementation.

Jalanan Sebagai Ruang Deliberatif Kebijakan: Menguji Demonstrasi dalam Kerangka Jürgen Habermas

Vincensius Soma Ferrer, Ayu Wulandari — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 15:51:51 +0000

Demonstrations are frequently characterized merely as protests against government policies or expressions of public dissent. However, viewed through the lens of Jürgen Habermas' deliberative democracy, they possess profound significance. Beyond mere confrontation, demonstrations serve as an arena for public communication where citizens interact, deliberate, and shape a collective political will. This study investigates the significant wave of protests across Indonesia in late 2025, demanding transparency and accountability in public budget management— specifically concerning the salary and allowance hikes for House of Representatives
(DPR) members. Employing a qualitative case study design and critical discourse analysis, this research reveals that demonstrations function as informal deliberative spaces operating outside state institutions. Through spontaneous communication, participants not only articulate political demands but also construct a shared understanding of public exigencies, particularly fiscal justice and financial accountability. This phenomenon illustrates that deliberative practices are not confined to formal forums; they can emerge organically on the streets, transforming citizens into active subjects of policy discourse. Consequently, this study validates demonstrations as a legitimate component of Indonesia's deliberative democracy and contributes to the conceptual strengthening of participatory and responsive public governance.

Paradiplomasi sebagai Strategi Inovasi Pemerintahan Daerah: Penjajakan Kerja sama Lampung - Zagreb

Irsyaad Suharyadi, Arie Fitria, Fitri Fatharani — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 15:53:28 +0000

This study analyzes the dynamics of paradiplomacy between Lampung Province and Zagreb City, Croatia. The findings indicate that the LampungZagreb relationship has met the determinant cause and favorable condition stages but has not yet reached the stage of paradiplomatic action that results in formal cooperation. Although the Lampung Provincial Government has demonstrated international engagement and political support, until now there has been no formal agreement, such as a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) or Letter of Intent (LoI), with the Zagreb Government. The foundation of regional-level international relations between the two regions has only been built through ongoing academic collaboration. Since 2017, collaboration between the University of Lampung, Zagreb University, and Vern University, including joint summer schools, lecturer exchanges, joint research, and the Erasmus+ program, has established a consistent academic network and become a strategic entry point for initiating paradiplomacy. This study provides institutional strengthening of regional foreign cooperation and optimization of established academic networks so that Lampung-Zagreb paradiplomacy can develop into a model of regional government innovation with the potential to be replicated in other regions in Indonesia.
