E-Goverment and Public Services in Indonesia: Prospects and Challenges

This study aims to examine the prospects and challenges of adopting e-government to improve the quality of public services in Indonesia. This research method is qualitative and exploratory, in nature, and is based on a case study approach. Interactive techniques were used to analyze these studies. The results of this study show that e-government is still a new area in some local governments, but many people believe that it has the potential to improve the way governments function. In almost all regions of Indonesia, local and regional governments are trying to exploit this potential by looking for the best way to implement E-government. E-government is useful for governments of all sizes, geographic locations, economic conditions, and government structures. This shows that Indonesian regional governments are currently considering, planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating e-government initiatives in their respective regional governments. However, this has brought many challenges that cannot be avoided, such as issues related to the creation, human resources, policy issues, and implementation of e-government programs.
