The lack of Information and Communication Technology Asset Management (ICTAM) regulations in Indonesia has resulted in the management of ICT assets both at the central and regional levels being implemented without consistent procedures and standards. As an academic institution, the Department of Management and Public Policy (DMKP) In collaboration with IGPA conducted research on ICTAM as a result of the urgent need to establish regulations relating to ICTAM in Indonesia. We help the Ministry of Communication and Information of the Republic of Indonesia to prepare academic texts for the draft of ministerial regulation relating to ICTAM according to international standards and apply adaptive principles to various conditions in Indonesia.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Socio-Economics of Indonesia’s Vulnerable Workers
IGPA collaborated with the Forbil Institute conducted a preliminary study regarding the influence of social restrictions policy on the socio-economic conditions of vulnerable communities. The social restrictions policy has reduced the economic activities of the community, thereby impacting their income levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used interview techniques via telephone and online platforms. We found that the COVID-19 pandemic not only caused economic vulnerability in society but also deepened economic vulnerability that existed before the pandemic and even created new vulnerable communities to emerge. This research recommends basic needs assistance policies as an alternative for COVID-19 response measures. Apart from that, efforts to formulate policies that continuously reduce socio-economic vulnerability need to be made. The results of this research were published a book “Governance for Handling COVID-19 in Indonesia: Preliminary Study (chapter 3)

IGPA received a research grant from Fisipol UGM in collaboration with the University of Groningen, Netherlands. Decentralization policy in Indonesia, since Law no. 22 of 1999, has led to increasing turmoil in the region and the formation of the New Autonomous Region. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing Banten and North Kalimantan Provinces. Both Banten and North Kalimantan are newly established regions and are still struggling with issues of identity, governance, public services, financial management and accountability. The research results show that in Banten there is a tendency for strong patterns of corruption, collusion and nepotism, as well as dynastic politics. Apart from that, spatial inequality between North and South Banten is still visible in terms of the HDI index. The problems of the new autonomous region look different from those of North Kalimantan Province. The expansion of North Kalimantan province aims to reduce the gap in the border area with Malaysia. The success of this goal can be seen from the access and infrastructure that are starting to be improved. Politics in North Kalimantan is more stable than Banten, but faces economic problems in the form of low regional revenue, declining investment trends, and quite high access gaps between district areas.

Seiring dengan meningkatnya mobilitas manusia dan meningkatnya konektivitas infrastruktur, risiko bencana diperkirakan akan meningkat, terutama di destinasi wisata alam seperti taman nasional. Di Indonesia, banyak destinasi wisata terkenal yang terletak di daerah yang rawan bencana, di mana hanya ada sedikit upaya untuk mengimplementasikan strategi dan program yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi risiko bagi wisatawan dan penduduk lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi strategi untuk meningkatkan pengurangan risiko bencana di kawasan Borobudur Prambanan Yogyakarta, Indonesia, yang rentan terhadap bencana. Analisis AWOT (AHP+SWOT) digunakan untuk melakukan perbandingan berpasangan terhadap faktor-faktor yang ada untuk memprioritaskan faktor-faktor tersebut berdasarkan nilai eigen dan menghasilkan opsi-opsi strategis untuk meningkatkan pengurangan risiko bencana di daerah-daerah tujuan wisata. Temuan yang paling penting dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa penerapan kebijakan penggunaan lahan untuk meningkatkan pengembangan pariwisata dengan tetap mempertimbangkan dampak bencana merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Studi ini memperkuat landasan metodologis untuk menentukan strategi dalam mengurangi risiko bencana di kawasan pariwisata, khususnya dengan fokus pada kasus destinasi wisata Borobudur, Yogyakarta, dan Prambanan.
