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.

From Offline to Online: Problems and Challenges in Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Committee for Handling COVID-19, National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN) and the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) are collaborating with the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences Universitas Gadjah Mada in a study relating to online learning. The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences Universitas Gadjah Mada appointed IGPA as the organizer of this activity. Later, IGPA collaborated with Forbil Institute to carry out this study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the reality of life in all sectors, one of which is the education sector. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of online  learning as a response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sector in Indonesia. This study strengthens research from Rob Wallace in the book “Dead Epidemiologist” which shows that the current threat of plague is a serious danger to human life on earth and can appear at any time to infect many people. So this study is important as learning material regarding the complexity of online learning policy issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We present the output of this research in a documentary film entitled Pandai Me. Through a documentary film, IGPA and Forbil Institute are trying to provide an overview of the complexity of online learning policy issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is hoped that the messages delivered through audio-visual documentation to policy makers, related stakeholders and the general public will be conveyed effectively. The film can be watched at the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwXV_2pq8PE

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)

Social Media Literacy in Overcoming Disinformation in Gondolayu Yogyakarta

This community service is a downstream of an international collaborative grant research entitled ICT Development Index Indonesia (2017). This research found that the high use of ICT in Indonesia was not accompanied by the community’s ability to use ICT, which then led to the massive spread of hoax news. This community service aimed to try to solve this problem by providing social media literacy. This activity is an Empowering 8 (E8) model to provide understanding to the public about the steps to find out the truth of news which consists of Identify, Explore, Select, Organize, Create, Present, Assess, Apply. This activity was carried out in RT 1 RW 01, Kota Baru Village, Gondokusuman District, Yogyakarta City with the consideration of (1) high adoption of smartphone and social media use, high level of community plurality, and the existence of differences in political choices. The final objectives expected in this community service activity are (1) The community is able to recognize the characteristics of hoax news, (2) The community is able to check facts to prove the truth of information, and (3) The community is able to clarify the truth of information.

Millennial Generation’s Perception of the National Mental Revolution Movement

The Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture collaborated with YouSure and IGPA to carry out research entitled Millennial Generation Perception Survey of the National Mental Revolution Movement. A program developed by the elected president for 2015 – 2019 which seeks to improve people’s ethical behavior. The survey aims to determine the perceptions of millennial youth towards the National Movement for Mental Revolution. This research was performed in October-November 2017. We conducted our study in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province by online surveys of middle school and high school students In Yogyakarta Province. We complement our study by organizing focus group discussion involving youth in Yogyakarta. The research results showed the lack of socialization of this program to the community. As a result, the proposed presidential program did not have a significant impact on improving the ethical behavior of society.

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.

Along with the increasing human mobility and infrastructure connectivity, so does the projection of disaster risks, especially in natural tourist destinations such as national parks. In Indonesia, many well-known tourist destinations are located in disaster-prone areas, where there has been little effort to implement strategies and programs aimed at reducing risks to tourists and local residents. This research aims to identify strategies to increase disaster risk reduction in the Borobudur Prambanan Yogyakarta area, Indonesia, which is vulnerable to disasters. AWOT analysis (AHP+SWOT) is used to carry out pairwise comparisons of existing factors to prioritize these factors based on eigenvalues and produce strategic options to increase disaster risk reduction in tourist destination areas. The most important finding from this research is that implementing land use policies to increase tourism development while still considering the impact of disasters is very important. This study strengthens the methodological basis for determining strategies for reducing disaster risk in tourism areas, specifically focusing on the case of the tourist destinations Borobudur, Yogyakarta and Prambanan.
