Synergies of Buginese community local wisdon in the implementation of public policy in Sidenreng Rappang regency

ABSTRACT

The aim of the study was to discover an effective and efficient concept and strategy in improving the quality of bureaucrats in the formation of bureaucratic behavior as a spear head of administration and social affairs to be able to carry out their duties and responsibilities as public servers and executors of public policy.

The study was descriptive qualitative and quantitative. The unit or analysis was bureacrats as public severs . The region samples were selected by quota sampling and respondents by purposive sampling. The data were collected through quetionare and interview and analyzed by using percentage, product moment, and multiple regression.

The results of the study indicate that principally the implementation of public policy is something prone to administration stucture and social affairs due to misperception of bureaucrats to their tasks and authorities who view it as something scared and an opportunity for personal or group interest. Therefor a significant reference is needed in realizing the management of good governance based on the principles of transparency, accountability, public participation, and law enforcement by synergizing local wisdom of Buginese community in the implementation of public policy as the main reference in structuring the life of the nation. This is due to lack of understanding on wisdom values of Buginese community and lack of implemantation which is assumed to have been irrelevant and marginalized.  This has an impact on various aspects in the structure of government especially in the implementation stage of public policy namely ignoring officials competence, not enough transparency, unaccountable recruitment system, and environmental situation in which the politic is the reference. In order to make the implementation model of public policy efficient and effective in the future, it must be done by applying the local wisdom of Buginese community in the concept of appropriateness in each stage of public policy implementation.
