INTRODUCTION
Development is a process of change
towards better conditions through planned efforts aimed at improving the
welfare of the people by involving supporting elements, namely human resources,
natural resources and technology. The three elements must synergize well so
that inequality does not occur as a result of the development process both in
terms of economic, social and environmental
aspects (Ginanjar, 1997).
Sustainable development is a development concept that pays attention to meeting the needs of the
present without having to reduce the ability to meet the needs of future
generations by paying attention to three pillars, namely economic growth
aspects, social aspects and environmental aspects (Hardiatmojo,
2021).
UNDP, as the organization
responsible for the preparation of the SDG Index released Indonesia's
achievements in 2020 in 101st position worldwide with an SDG Index achievement
of 65.3 points. This ranking is still below neighboring countries such as
Brunei Darussalam (ranked 88th), Singapore (ranked 93rd), and the Philippines
(ranked 99th). The countries in Southeast Asia with the highest SDG Index are
Thailand (ranked 41st), Vietnam (ranked 49th), and Malaysia (ranked 60th)
(Sachs, Kroll, Lafortune, Fuller, & Woelm, 2022).
The achievement of the SDGs of South
Kalimantan Province, especially in the 12th goal, is to ensure sustainable
production and consumption patterns with indicators of the number of
environmentally friendly products registered with achievements of ―C‖,
where category C is an indicator that has not been implemented and has not
reached the national target.

South Kalimantan Province with a
forest area of 1,779,982 hectares or 42.3 percent of the administrative area of
South Kalimantan of 3,700,406 hectares with the Environmental Quality Index
(IKLH) of South Kalimantan Province in 2016 of 58.74 was ranked 26 out of 34
provinces in Indonesia, then in 2017 it increased to 62.07 so that it was
ranked 19th out of 34 Provinces of Se Indonesia as shown in the chart below (Abdoellah,
2016).�

As in the chart above, in 2019 and
2020 the environmental quality index of South Kalimantan Province decreased to
61.94 and 60.49 and was below the national average of 66.55, placing South
Kalimantan Province in 26th place out of 34 provinces throughout Indonesia. The
low IKLH is due to three assessment indicators in the form of Water Quality
Index (IKA), Air Quality Index (IKU) and Land Cover Quality Index (IKTL) are
still low.�
Ilyas Asaad, as Expert Staff of the
Minister of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) for Relations
Inter-Institutions when opening the
Green Public Procurement (GPP) Nation
Wide Promotion workshop in �Jakarta
(29/08/2017) said that Green Public
Procurement in addition to saving state spending, also contributed to
improving environmental quality
(Ansari, Nurdin, Tahir, & Maryani, 2022). The main reason for using Green Public Procurement �as an environmental policy instrument
is because of the large expenditure on government procurement of goods and
services so that it will require large natural resources as well, thus it can
affect directly or indirectly on natural sustainability, environmental
pollution, biodiversity, and climate change. The impact on nature is not only
seen from the use of significant amounts of raw materials/ materials, but the
emissions produced in the process and implementation of goods and services
ranging from production, transportation, to the stages of use
(Pudjijono, Hartono, Hasibuan, & Nursani, 2022). In other words, if the procurement
of goods and services is not environmentally friendly, as in the framework of
the GPP, then the potential for environmental damage will be even greater.� �
Green Public Procurement �policies in several provinces in Indonesia are still relatively few,
the Provincial Government is still not serious in implementing environmentally
friendly procurement policies, this can be seen from the lack of regulations
issued to support Green Public
Procurement (Robertua,
Oktavian, & Sigalingging, 2022). �Provinces in Indonesia that made
policies earlier in the form of South Kalimantan Provincial Governor Regulation
Number 093 of 2018 concerning Green
Public Procurement. The objectives of the issuance of this regulation are:
1)
Produce the right goods/services from every money spent,
measured in terms of quality, quantity, time, cost, location and provider
2)
Increase the use of environmentally friendly local and
domestic products;
3)
Increasing the participation of Micro Enterprises, Small
and Medium Enterprises;
4)
Increasing the role of local and national business actors
in the production of environmentally friendly goods/services;
5)
Supporting the implementation of research and utilization
of research goods/services
6)
Increase the participation of the creative industry in
environmentally friendly rod/service products;
7)
Encouraging economic equality, quality improvement
8)
Public health and well-being; 8) Encourage sustainable
procurement.
The implementation of the green public procurement �policy includes:
1) Reduction in the use of paper (paperlass)
2) Procurement of food and beverages
without paper and plastic materials;
3) Procurement of solar cells for electricity in the office as a utilization of
renewable energy;
4) Acquisition of land, roads, bridges,
irrigation and networks according to the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW);
5) Procurement of equipment and
machinery in the form of heavy equipment, transportation equipment,
agricultural equipment, household office equipment, studio and communication
equipment, medical equipment, laboratory equipment and weaponry/security
equipment that are energy efficient, low carbon and recyclable;
6) Procurement of buildings with the
concept of green building;
7) Procurement of digital
�books (e-books) and others.
The implementation of the GPP policy
through the 7 action points seems to be still not optimal, this can be observed
based on the observations of researchers in the pre-research stage, by tracking
documentation, there is no data release issued by the central government or the
South Kalimantan Regional Government regarding the achievement of success and
implementation reports from all the points above. Due to the absence of data
and information released by the government, it is not known how successful the
implementation of the above actions will be (Syarifuddin
& Johari, 2019).
The size of the procurement budget
for goods and services if supported by good policies, and the implementation of
these policies is carried out properly, will contribute greatly to supporting
the sustainable development goals in southern Kalimantan Province. Directly and
indirectly, through GPP, it can achieve sustainable development goals from the
aspects of environmental improvement, efficiency in the use of raw materials,
water and energy, reducing environmental pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions, and encouraging the growth of green industries that produce
innovations in environmentally friendly products. On the other hand, if this
GPP policy is not implemented, it will have an impact on the spread of even
greater environmental damage. Because every year we always spend a procurement
budget, but every year we also suffer losses with environmental damage.��
Based on the background description,
the following problems can be identified:
1)
Decrease in the Environmental Quality Index of South
Kalimantan Province in 2018 with a value of 61.47 and in 2020 to 60.49
2)
Not all procurement of goods and services The South
Kalimantan Provincial Government has implemented the use of environmentally friendly
products, especially for ecolabeled paper, filling folders with labels and SVLK
wood
3)
The low achievement of the SDGs of South Kalimantan
Province, especially in the 12th goal, is to ensure sustainable production and
consumption patterns with indicators of the number of environmentally friendly
products registered with achievement C.�
In order for this research to be
focused and clear based on the identification of the above problems, broadly
speaking, the limitations of this research are only on the analysis of green public procurement �policies in relation to the sustainable
development goals in South Kalimantan Province. The following are presented
limitations on the issue as follows:
1)
The policy on Green Public Procurement is limited to the
study of the South Kalimantan�
Provincial Governor Regulation Number 93 of 2018 concerning Green Public Procurement, where in this
Regulation it is emphasized that the policy is a basis for carrying out various
activities directly or indirectly supporting the achievement of sustainable
development goals in South Kalimantan.�
2)
The implementation of Green
Public Procurement in �Governor Regulation Number 93 of 2018
consists of 7 points in the scope of procurement of goods and services in the
scope of government using the APBD, where of the seven points in this study are
limited to the procurement of goods in point e, namely the procurement of
household office equipment. The limitations of this study refer to Presidential
Regulation No.16 of 2018 concerning Government Procurement of Goods/Services
and Circular Letter of the Head of LKPP RI Number 16 of 2020 concerning the
Determination of Green Products/Green Industrial Products for use in Government
Procurement of Goods/Services that
Sustainable. For this reason, it is
limited to the procurement of goods within the South Kalimantan Provincial
Government for products: 1) ecolabel copy paper; 2) stationery office equipment (file folder) �with ecolabel logo; and 3) Wooden
Legality Verification System (SVLK) wood furniture.�
3)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) contain 17
points of goals in 4 pillars, namely the economic, social, environmental and
legal pillars, where in this study the SDGs are limited to only focused on the
12th goal point, namely ensuring sustainable production and consumption
patterns, with indicators namely the number of registered environmentally
friendly products. Restrictions in this regard are considered to take a focus
on the SDGs that are most correlated or most relevant to the topic of Green Public Procurement.�
4)
The locus of this study is the South Kalimantan
Provincial Government with GPP policy considerations issued through the
Governor's Regulation into a pilot project. Kalimantan as a pioneer peratma by issuing policies and implementing GPP policies.
Meanwhile, the tempo of the study is limited from 2019 to 2021, considering
that the GPP policy is relatively new in its application (Ulum
& Ngindana, 2017).
METHOD�� RESEARCH
Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif, dengan metode eksploratoris. Locke, Spriduso dan Silferman mengemukakan: ―qualitative research is interpretative
research. As such, the biases, values and judgment of the researches become
stated explicitly in the research report. Such openness is considered to be
useful and positive (Creswell, Plano Clark, Gutmann, &
Hanson, 2003).
Exploratory research is research that aims to find something new in the
form of grouping of certain symptoms, facts and diseases. Exploratory
descriptive research aims to describe the state of a phenomenon, where in
research it is not intended to test a certain hypothesis but only describes
what a variable, symptom or state is (Arikunto & Practice, 2001).
Departing from this understanding, researchers chose exploratory research
because researchers wanted to describe in detail or completely about the
circumstances, symptoms, phenomenon of implementing the Green Public
Procurement policy in South Kalimantan Province, and did not seek conclusions
that apply uniformly.
The conclusions drawn are a description of what happened to the object of
research
The use of a qualitative approach is also adapted to the existing
characteristics that researchers are directly involved in the research site
through participant observation. The use of a qualitative method approach
emphasizes the problem of what it is (das sein) with the reality that exists in
the field through the spoken or written words of the person and the observed
behavior. The research approach through qualitative methods is research
conducted by a researcher as well as a research instrument that will understand
the characteristics of the field that integrates with the life of the community
under study.
The conceptual framework used in this study was prepared according to
research needs and research problems, namely what caused the GPP (green public
procurement) Policy to support the Sustainable Development Goals in South
Kalimantan Province has not been optimally implemented, and what kind of
implementation model is ideal for South Kalimantan.�
Researchers focus research studies on Meter and Horn theory which states
that implementation will be most successful where only minor changes are needed
and consensus goals are high.� The policy
implementation model (Van Meter & Van Horn, 1975) was used as an analysis knife to identify the causes of the lack of
optimal GPP policies being implemented. The reason for using these theories and
models for researchers is because the policies raised in this study are
top-down, so the Meter and Horn models that have a topdown
approach are considered appropriate for analyzing GPP policies in South
Kalimantan.�
Meanwhile, to formulate an implementation model that is considered ideal
and suitable to be applied in South Kalimantan, researchers use the GPP concept
proposed (Akenroye, Oyegoke, & Eyo, 2013) as a concept that is analyzed and elaborated. The reason for using the
concept is because the GPP concept proposed (Akenroye et al., 2013) is seen as quite comprehensive in explaining the important elements in the
stages and series of GPP.
RESULT AND
DISCUSSION
A policy that is implemented but has
not achieved the target or optimal results is allegedly caused by several
things regarding policy standards and other dimensions. For this reason, in
this section the researcher tries to analyze what are the causes of the lack of
optimal GPP policies implemented in South Kalimantan Province.�
Data processing through the Nvivo program obtained several things related to the causes
of the implementation of the green public
procurement �policy in South Kalimantan has not been
optimal The analysis related to the data findings is presented in the following
figure:

Word frequency query as shown in the image above, is the
result of sorting out the themes that appear in data processing. �The Word Frequency Query is used by researchers to reference
in identifying what are the most relevant and most significant themes resulting
from the codification process to be presented in the discussion.�
From this description, it is found
that the words ―environment, government, product, provider, SPP, and
implementation‖, are words that have �a
large font size. This gives an idea that these words are the most prominent
words in the primary data from the interview, which of course have a close
relationship with themes and sub-themes, thus providing an overview of
identifying what things are the causes of the non-optimal implementation of the
GPP policy.�
The results of the research findings
on the main theme (nodes) of the causes of GPP implementation in South
Kalimantan have not been optimal, consisting of child nodes of the policy implementation model and the causes of GPP not being optimal. With the help of the Nvivo program, it is processed to find links between themes
so as to provide an overview in answering the formulation of the causes of the
non-optimal implementation of the GPP policy. Next, a matrix coding query is presented to illustrate the interrelationships
of each theme, in the following table:
Table 2

�
The table above shows the number of coding references �related to the causes of the non-optimal
implementation of GPP policies in South Kalimantan Province, where it can be
seen that the standards and policy objectives that are the theme of the policy
implementation model have the substance of the most linkage with the legal
framework which comes to the fore 21 times in the primary data interview. This
can illustrate that the cause of the non-optimal implementation of GPP policies
is dominated by issues related to relevant policy standards or have links to
issues in the context of the legal framework.�
Furthermore, an analysis map is
presented through the project map
feature in �the image below, where there is
relevance and relationship between one theme and another. it is illustrated
that the collection of codings collected in the theme
of the policy implementation model, has a substance relationship with the theme
of the cause of GPP not being optimal. Next is presented the analysis map
through the figure below:
Source : Processed Researcher, 2022
Based on the information of several informants above, it can be said that
the implementation of the GPP policy has not been optimal in terms of the
perspective of the attitude of the implementers, namely the will or commitment
of the implementers to �carry out the GPP provisions as well as
possible, in this case, especially the awareness of the implementers of the
procurement of goods and services to use GPP criteria products with an ecolabel
scheme.�
The commitment and will of the
policy implementers as mentioned in the statements of several informants,
actually requires a special unit in terms of supervision and evaluation. This
is as stated in the results of research that suggests the need for a special
unit to supervise and monitor compliance with the implementation of sustainable
and environmentally friendly procurement rules for goods and services. The
importance of integrity and transparency of the implementers of this policy
considering that there are not a few cases of misappropriation occurring in the
practice of government procurement of goods and services, as found in the
results of research that state losses determined by APIP on the basis of the
disclosure of conspiracies between bidders and the difference in the value of
contracts with the real purchase value of providers.
�
Data processing through the Nvivo program obtained several aspects related to the green public procurement
implementation model �which is considered ideal and needed in
South Kalimantan. Aspects related to the themes regarding the GPP policy
implementation model, the following themes were found:

The picture is found
that the word ―product, implementation, policy, environment, procurement,
government, goods, support, budget‖, is a word that has
�a
large font size. This gives an idea that these words are the most prominent
words in the primary data from the interview, which of course has a close
relationship with themes and sub-themes, thus providing an overview of the GPP
policy implementation model that is considered ideal and needed in South
Kalimantan.�
The findings of the
research on the main theme (nodes) of the GPP concept in South Kalimantan
consist of child nodes of action plans, legal frameworks, regulatory and
implementing authorities, ecolabeling schemes, and campaigns, have a
relationship with the theme compiled by the researcher, namely the theme of the
GPP policy implementation model consisting of child nodes normative instruments, resources,
implementation activities,�
and compliance actors.�
With the help of the Nvivo program, it is processed to find links between themes
so as to provide an overview in answering the formulation of the problem of the
ideal GPP policy implementation model for South Kalimantan. Next, a matrix coding query is presented to
illustrate the interrelationships of each theme, in the following table:

The table above shows the number of coding references related to the GPP
policy implementation model, where it can be seen that the theme of regulatory
and implementing authorities which are children of the theme of the GPP concept
has the substance of the most linkage with the compliance actor which is the theme
child of the GPP Policy implementation model, with the relationship between the
two themes stated 19 times in the primary data interview. This can illustrate
that the compliance of the actors is the dominant issue raised by informants in
their relationship to formulate a policy implementation model that is
considered ideal for South Kalimantan.�
Furthermore, an analysis map is
presented through the project map feature �in the image below, where there is
relevance and relationship between one theme and another. It is illustrated
that the collection of codings is collected in the

As outlined in the previous section
regarding the analysis of the causes of the non-optimal GPP policy and the
analysis of the GPP concept, the next stage is the formulation of the model
through the elaboration of the findings of the causes of the GPP policy is not
optimal and the GPP concept. Furthermore, the specifics of the advanced stages
in the process of creating a policy implementation model are described as
follows:
�
The policy implementation model of
Meter and Horn is based on the consideration that GPP policies are top-down policies, so the logic of thinking from
above is used and then mapping down to see the success or failure of a policy
implementation. In addition, the analysis approach in �the top-down implementation model �as the Meter and Horn models is identical �to the policy centered approach �because the focus of the researcher's
attention is only on the policy and seeks to obtain the fact whether a policy
is effective or not.
The top-down approach �is also synonymous with command and control where the successful
implementation of sautu policy is based on the
clarity of commands and how to supervise superiors to subordinates. While this
is in line with the view of the theoretical perspective of the model proposed
by Meter and Horn, where the model begins with consideration of the need to
classify policies in terms that will highlight the difficulties of
implementation. The Meter and Horn model approaches are relatively simple, both
suggesting that there is a need to consider the amount of change required and
the degree of consensus. Hence they hypothesize that 'implementation will be
most successful where only minor changes are needed and a consensus of high
goals
(Hill & Hill, 1997).
Meter and Horn present their model
in terms of reciprocal relationships, high consensus can allow for high
changes. They clearly see implementation as a process that starts from the
initial policy decision: ―policy implementation includes such actions by
public and private individuals (or groups) directed towards achieving the goals
set out in the previous policy decision. That process is presented as a series
of stages, with directions pointing forward or sideways and not returning to
policy. Nevertheless, Van Meter and Van Horn argue that it is 'very important
that implementation studies' be conducted on a longitudinal basis;
Relationships identified at one point in time should not be causally extended
to another time period. 65
For this thought, on the one hand,
the Meter and Horn models are considered suitable to be applied to GPP policies
because the time of policy implementation is also relatively short. However,
for longitudinal studies, it is faced with various limitations, time, energy
and costs. Departing from this, the review of the policy model made is expected
to be relevant to the conditions and situation at the research locus. At least
it provides an overview of the solutions that will be formulated to be a
practical consideration for policy makers and policy implementers.�
The following is presented to
identify the causes of the suboptimal GPP policy based on the dimensions of the
Meter and Horn implementation model which are relevant to the applicative
picture of the GPP concept in South Kalimantan:
1)
The dimensions of the standards and policy objectives, it
is identified that the cause of the non-optimal implementation of the GPP
policy is because the policy standards have not been thoroughly understood. The
follow-up and achievements of GPP policy standards and objectives are still
difficult to measure. As Meter and Horn argue, that standards and policy
objectives are important aspects as a detail of the objectives of policy
decisions as a whole, which is tangible in regulatory documents towards the
determination of specific and concrete standards for assessing program
performance (Van
Meter & Van Horn, 1975). This could also mean that as
informants acknowledge, GPP policies are still limited to generic policies,
there is no single unit of policy standards. It is important to establish a
single uniformity of policy standards. Of course, if there are differences in
standards, it will be different in articulating policies.
The findings in this standard
dimension and policy objectives are relevant to the findings in the action plan
dimension. As found that in the Governor's Regulation on Green Public Procurement itself out of the 7 points of the action
plan, only 3 points have been followed up, namely the use of ecolabel paper,
the use of ecolabel folders and the use of SVLK certified wooden furniture.
Even in the South Kalimantan RPJMD, there is no identified action plan
contained in the vision, mission and policy direction that straightforwardly
contains green public procurement.�
The solution to overcome problems
related to standards and policy objectives related to the action plan and legal
framework, namely the center must make policies in the form of laws governing
the mandatory implementation of GPP in all government procurement practices.
Policy formulation at the central level can be originated or initiated on the
basis of findings in the regions, in this case found in South Kalimantan
because GPP is not required in existing regulations, even only in the form of
guidelines and appeals, the GPP is not carried out. If there is a policy from
the center that requires the use of GPP, the benefits will not only be felt by
South Kalimantan but will be felt in all regions in Indonesia.
2)
Policy sources, it can be identified that the cause of
the GPP policy has not been optimally implemented is the low human resource
capacity of GPP implementers in the form of understanding and commitment to
implement GPP policies. Policy sources should be understood from the president,
the DPR-DPRD, to local governments, which then form a commitment to carry out
GPP policies as well as possible.�
The source dimension of the policy
is relevant to the dimension of the legal framework. The position of the source
of policy, in this case one of which is represented by the aspect of HR having
a relationship, because HR capacity refers to the existing legal framework.
Policies regarding the development of human resources in order to support the
successful implementation of policies, of course, come from regulations within
a clear legal framework.�
In addition, the dimensions of
policy sources are also seen as closely related to efforts to increase
education and awareness, in one of its forms, namely campaigns. Policy sources
must understand and commit to implementing GPP policies, one of which is
pursued through campaign or socialization activities.�
Solutions to overcome problems
related to policy sources that are relevant to the legal framework and
campaigns, namely that there must be massive, intensive and sustainable
socialization efforts to actors and providers of procurement of goods and
services.
3)
The characteristics of the implementing body identified
that the cause of the GPP policy has not been optimally implemented is the
problem of low bureaucratic performance and the absence of SOPs that are
comprehensively able to overshadow and become the basis for the performance of
GPP policy implementers. The SOP is not only important for implementers in this
case the government as an implementor, but also for PBJ providers.�
The dimensions of the
characteristics of the implementing body are relevant in close relation to the
dimensions of the action plan. The characteristics of the implementing agency
can be seen from who implements the GPP, from the national to the regional agencies.
At the provincial level, the implementation of the GPP is of course seen from
the dimensions of the characteristics of the implementing body, in this case
the provincial government must see how strong or legitimacy support is to carry
out the policy. Considering that Indonesia is not a federal state where in the
federal state each province or state has its own policies and is not connected
to the center. While the nature of the Republic system in Indonesia, every
policy in the regions must certainly be connected to the center, so in relation
to the characteristics of the implementing agency and the action plan, it can
be explained that the action plan in the context of regional and central
bureaucratic connectivity, of course, how the characteristics of the
implementing agency are related to the action plan. The action plan �becomes a mapping, or a travel map that moves
the implementing body.�
Furthermore, regarding the
bureaucratic structure, in relation to the dimensions of the characteristics of
the implementing body and relevant to the action plan, the researcher found
this to be related to collaboration. Researchers see, from the central level to
the regional level, there is no conception of collaboration applied, in this
case as a manifestation of cooperation to synergize in realizing optimal GPP
implementation. If only between the center, its institutions, and the local
government level, collaboration is established, then researchers are optimistic
that this GPP policy will be more optimally implemented.�
The solution to the problem of the
relevant dimensions of the characteristics of the implementing body is closely
related to the dimension of the action plan, that is, the implementing body
must be given a clearer and stronger standard, or legitimacy. For example,
local governments must be linked by policies from the central government, in
the form of laws, that are able to provide coercive power for the GPP to be run
in the regions. Then, specifically, the derivative is the existence of SOPs in
each regulatory and implementing authority, in this case as the embodiment of
the implementing body, all activities must be in accordance with standard
operating procedures.�
4)
Communication between organizations and implementation
activities, it was identified that in the implementation of the GPP policy
there are problems that are the cause of the non-optimal implementation of the
policy, namely the lack of communication between organizations. It can be
observed that between the center, ministries, institutions and local
governments, there is no single means of communication or communication channel
that can simultaneously show the public the progress of implementing the GPP
policy.�
Communication between organizations
is seen as closely related to the dimensions of regulatory and implementing
authorities, ecolabel schemes, and the improvement of education and awareness
through campaign efforts. According to the researcher, the regulatory and
implementing authorities are supported by good communication between
organizations so that they can communicate ecolabel schemes and campaigns, on
the implementation of GPP policies. GPP policy is impossible to implement if it
is not well communicated.�
The author observes that in terms of
communication between organizations that are relevant to regulatory and
implementing authorities, ecolabel schemes and campaigns, there is something
intriguing, namely about leadership. On the issue of leadership, researchers
have not found a significant impetus for leadership determination, �starting from the helm, namely the
president, ministers, to regional leaders in emphasizing the use of GPP
policies. For example, the leader continues to communicate, oblige, and set an
example to the organization he leads, as well as to the wider community, to
implement the GPP. Although in this case the Governor of South Kalimantan has
issued a Pergub and a governor's decree, in substance
the emphasis on the implementation of this GPP is still not straightforward. In
its policy, there is no emphasis on the obligation for the organization being
led, even for providers and the public, to use GPP in terms of procurement of
goods and services, as well as consumption of environmentally friendly
products. This is also related to commitment, because when there is a
commitment, without being expressed in any law or regulation, the leadership
will move to be the driving force for the implementation of the GPP
policy.��
The solution to problems in the
dimensions of organizational communication that are relevant to regulatory and
implementing authorities, ecolabeling schemes, and campaigns, according to the
researcher is that first there must be awareness from the leadership so that
the leader becomes a motor, motivator and mobilizer through the example he provides
so that the organization being led, and the community implements GPP policies.
After all, the seriousness of implementing this GPP policy must be exemplified
by the leadership, from the president, ministers, to the leaders of local
governments.��
5)
the social, economic and political environmental
dimensions of the policy, it was identified that the cause of the lack of
optimal GPP policy implemented from the environmental dimension of the policy,
was the weak support from the economic and political aspects. Economically, the
economic value of environmentally friendly products is seen as not having a
significant impact on the community's economy. Researchers are of the view, and
see that not many have felt the effects or impacts on improving the economy for
both actors and providers, as well as the community. In this case, the high
cost of environmentally friendly products compared to conventional products,
causes PBJ actors to prefer conventional products mathematically regarding
savings and budget accountability. So in this case the
offender chooses a safe path.
For providers and the public, the
ecosystem of environmentally friendly products has not been well formed. There
is almost no gap for MSMEs to be able to produce environmentally friendly products,
because they see opportunities for the use of environmentally friendly products
that do not yet believe in their prospects. This means that the effects and
involvement of the community, especially MSMEs, have not been significant. In
addition, for providers, the cost of goods produced by environmentally friendly
products is greater than that of conventional products. Because ecolabeling
standards make production costs increase more, while if the price of
environmentally friendly products is higher than conventional products, there
is a fear that they will not be bought.�
According to researchers, this
policy environmental dimension is closely related to the dimension of
increasing education and awareness. Researchers see the connection because the
policy environment is basically the environment where the gpp
policy target is located. Meanwhile, efforts to increase education and
awareness carried out by the government are still not intensive and massive,
when viewed from efforts through socialization. The government in this case is
required to make strategic efforts within the framework of the campaign to make
the social, economic and political environment willing to accept and implement
GPP policies properly.�
The solution to respond to problems
in the policy environment related to increasing education and awareness, namely
the government must be more intensive in socializing GPP policies through
synergistic programs, activities or institutions between actors, providers and
the community. To apply this solution, of course, the government has the
resources, just its commitment and consistency in carrying out strategic steps
so that all parties want to carry out the GPP policy.�
6)
The attitude of the implementers, it was identified that
the cause of the lack of optimal GPP policy was implemented based on this
dimension, namely the low commitment of the implementers in accepting and
implementing the GPP policy. This researchers took a
closer look, one of which was by seeing that on the LPSE South Kalimantan site
as a medium for implementing the procurement of goods and services, it is
almost difficult to find the history of procurement of goods and services that
have been carried out with the use of environmentally friendly products. The
researchers' findings illustrate that implementers have not accepted and
implemented GPP policies, in the sense that policy consensus has not been
reached on implementers.
The attitudes of the implementers
according to the researchers are closely related to aspects of the action plan,
legal framework, as well as increasing education and awareness. This is
elaborated from the idea that basically the attitude of the implementer is
influenced by the existence of an action plan contained in a legitimized
planning document, a legal framework in the form of technical regulation, as
well as campaign activities or socialization of GPP policies.�
The solution to the problem of
attitudes of implementers that are relevant to the dimensions of the action
plan, legal framework, and improvement of education and awareness, namely by
creating incentive schemes and punish and
reward schemes. Incentives are given in order to make PBJ implementers
compliant, in terms of providing incentives aimed at overcoming difficulties
when processing GPP. while punish and
reward is given to GPP actors and providers who run or do not run GPP in
PBJ practice.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the
research and discussion that have been described in the previous section, the
researcher can convey the following conclusions:
Based on the perspective of Meter
and Horn theory (1975) which states that implementation will be most successful
where only small changes are needed and a consensus of high goals, broadly
speaking, the implementation of GPP policies in South Kalimantan has not been
optimal because the small changes needed have not been achieved, while the
consensus goals have not been achieved properly. The conditions and situation
in the implementation of the policy turned out to be the opposite of the Meter
and Horn theory, where in fact the success of the GPP policy implemented in
South Kalimantan requires major changes from upstream to downstream. Then,
specifically stated the causes of the lack of optimal GPP policy implemented in
South Kalimantan which is the most dominant, based on the perspective of the
dimensions of the Meter and Horn implementation model, including:
In the dimensions of standards
and policy objectives, implementation is not optimal because the policy
standards related to action plans and legal frameworks are not yet strong. The
policy is still generic in nature where the Governor's Regulation only states
that as a guideline, the legal framework in both the Presidential Regulation
and the Governor's Regulation does not firmly emphasize the mandatory use of
GPP.�
In the characteristic dimension
of the implementing body, policy implementation is not optimal because the
organization and implementation activities related to the action plan and
regulatory and implementing authorities have not been supported by
collaboration. There is no such kind of forum between the center and the
regions, as well as between regional organizations, such as LKPP and local
government, LPSE, UPBJ and PBJ providers and supervisory units to collaborate
in the success of GPP implementation.
In the dimension of communication
between organizations and implementation activities, policy implementation is
not optimal because coordination related to ecolabeling schemes is not
supported by good leadership. The will of the leadership both central and
regional does not mandate the use of the GPP, which means that also in general
the leader has not set an example or example that is
able to encourage all parties to use the GPP.�
In the environmental dimension of
policies and implementing attitudes, policy implementation is not optimal
because the policy environment and implementing attitudes are not supported by
commitment and compliance to run the GPP. The attitudes and behaviors of
implementers and the ecosystem of environmentally friendly products from
upstream to downstream have not been created properly to support the
implementation of GPP.
The meter and horn policy
implementation model is considered a model that can be
a parameter for analysis, but in reality there are several dimensions that have
not been optimally applied in South Kalimantan, especially in relation to the
sustainable development goals. For this reason, in order to provide an ideal
and appropriate model to be applied in South Kalimantan, which seeks to
complement the gaps in the shortcomings of the existing model, researchers
created a Sustainable Green Public Procurement Policy Implementation Model,
consisting of normative instrument dimensions, policy resources, implementation
activities and compliance of policy actors. The novelty of the results of the
analysis and the model created is the discovery of a very important component,
namely leadhership and collaboration that has not
been proclaimed in the Horn and Meter model dominantly. These components are
considered by researchers to be included in the new dimensions section of the
Sustainable GPP Policy Implementation Model.
