POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN DIGITALIZATION GOVERNANCE IN BORDER AREAS INDONESIA

Abstract

Implementation of digitalization governance policies in border areas in Indonesia has challenges and obstacles that must be overcome. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with a post-positivism approach to explore and analyze the implementation of digitalization governance policies in border areas in Indonesia. The findings from this research show that differences in digital infrastructure standards, lack of public awareness and digital skills, limited internet access, and suboptimal data security and privacy are some of the findings that need to be considered in implementing digitalization governance policies. The Resource and Inter-Organizational Communication Enforcement Activities stages have an essential role in ensuring the success of policy implementation. There is a need for investment and development of better infrastructure and technology, as well as supportive budget and policy support from the government, effective and efficient cooperation between related institutions and agencies, and an understanding of the importance of investment and development of better infrastructure and technology. This research can provide a better policy implementation experience in digitalization governance in border areas in Indonesia and provide input for the government and related organizations to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of existing policies. It is hoped that the implementation of this policy can achieve its optimal goals and accelerate development in border areas.
