Problematics of State Civil Apparatus Productivity Towards Bureaucracy Streamliness

The phenomenon of problems faced in increasing the productivity of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Indonesia is closely related to the mismatch between the composition of positions and the competencies possessed by ASN. This is further exacerbated by efforts to simplify the bureaucracy that have not been fully supported by increasing the ability and mastery of technology, which has the potential to hinder efficiency in public services. This article aims to analyze and describe 1) How the match between the composition and competency of the State Civil Apparatus affects the productivity of the bureaucracy in Indonesia; and 2) evaluate the effectiveness of bureaucratic simplification and equalization of positions in increasing the efficiency of decision-making and matching the composition of ASN with the existing workload. The research method used is a qualitative method. The data analysis used is an interactive model analysis consisting of three analysis components, namely: 1) Data Reduction; 2) Data Presentation; 3) Data Verification and Conclusion Drawing. The results of the article show that: 1) the mismatch between the composition and competency of ASN is still a major challenge in increasing the productivity of the bureaucracy in Indonesia. Countries with efficient bureaucratic systems such as Singapore and Estonia show that ASN placement based on strict competency evaluation can optimize performance, even though the age of the ASN is older. Therefore, Indonesia needs to adopt a more comprehensive approach, such as a continuous training system that is tailored to the needs of specific sectors, to improve the quality of ASN and streamline the bureaucratic structure to achieve higher productivity; 2) bureaucratic simplification and job equalization can match the composition of ASN with the workload more efficiently, allowing for faster and more responsive decision-making. An early retirement scheme can be a solution to replace less adaptive ASN with a workforce that is better prepared to face the challenges of technology and organizational dynamics. However, the success of bureaucratic simplification depends on the competence of the remaining ASN, who must be ensured to have skills that match the demands of change and the needs of the organization.

Blue Economy Potential Through Coastal Business Diversification as a Regional Development Strategy in Kabila Bone Subdistrict

The blue economy provides a development framework that seeks to generate economic value from marine and coastal resources while maintaining social inclusion and ecological sustainability. Kabila Bone Subdistrict in Bone Bolango Regency has substantial coastal potential, particularly in fisheries, marine ecotourism, seafood processing, and small-scale services. However, the utilization of these resources has not been fully optimized because coastal livelihoods remain strongly dependent on capture fisheries, while business innovation, community capacity, capital access, and inter-actor coordination remain limited. This study examines the relationship between blue economy potential and coastal business diversification as a regional development strategy in Kabila Bone Subdistrict and analyzes its implementation through product innovation, community training and empowerment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation during January–February 2026 and involved eight informants representing the subdistrict government, coastal communities, fishers, local business actors, and marine tourism managers. The findings show that the development of whale shark ecotourism in Botubarani has become a major driver of coastal economic diversification. New activities include tourist boat rental, guiding services, coastal cuisine, souvenirs, seafood processing, and other marine-resource-based microenterprises. These activities have expanded household income opportunities, generated employment, and strengthened local economic resilience. Nevertheless, diversification remains uneven and is concentrated around tourism; seafood processing, aquaculture, and other sectors are still limited. Product innovation is mostly incremental, training programs are not consistently followed by mentoring, and collaboration among government, communities, and businesses remains largely informal. The study concludes that blue economy development can support sustainable regional development when diversification is accompanied by stronger institutional coordination, continuous capacity building, improved access to finance and technology, and more inclusive distribution of economic opportunities.
