<p><em>Open Data</em><em> (OD) </em><em>is data that is publicly available and free for anyone to use, reuse and redistribute.</em><em> </em><em>The Bandung</em><em> City</em><em> Government is the first </em><em>municipality</em><em> government in Indonesia to implement OD programs as a form of public service in the digital era. Although E-government practices have been applied to public services provided by various Central and Regional government agencies in Indonesia, in general there are still obstacles related to the extent to which the data can be accessed </em><em>and used-reused </em><em>by the public for various purposes. The study conducted in the Bandung </em><em>Municipality</em><em> Government was directed at efforts to find an effective OD innovation management model in the public sector by using qualitative methods with a case study strategy. Based on field findings, the OD program carried out at the Bandung Government is a collaboration of multiple actors and stakeholders (communities, private sector, NGOs) starting from the initiation stage up to its implementation. In this case, the Bandung City Government together with the various parties involved built an Open Data ecosystem that aims to produce credible data for decision making, and create a more transparent and accountable government.</em><em> </em><em>The implementation of this program has not been fully effective because the implementation has not been optimally integrated in Public Information Services (LIP). This has implications for the mechanism of unclear and non-smooth coordination and communication between fields and between Regional Government Work Units (SKPD) which are responsible for implementing OD and LIP. </em><em>The stuation</em><em> raises different views on the selection and display of data published (information dissemination). </em></p>

Abtract-This article examines the involvement of citizens in Open Data (OD) movement. OD, as information that can be freely accessed by anyone, and for use, reuse, and redistribution by anyone, aims to make citizens can actively participate in processing it for their own interests and to participate in governance of government. "For Improved Governance & Citizen Engagement" is one of the principles of Open Data which is an idea that reflects the paradigm of New Public Services (NPS) or New Public Governance (NPG) which emphasizes the importance of citizen involvement in public administration. Based on Open Data Barometer report, Indonesia has a level of readiness that is good enough to implement data disclosure, among other Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia has started this project since 2012 with a pilot project in three regional governments namely DKI Jakarta Province, Bojonegoro Regency, and Bandung Municipality. The research was based on the issue that OD in its implementation has not been running effectively due to various obstacles, for example, according to a report from UKP4 (Presidential Work Unit for Development Supervision and Control, now called KSP/Presidential Staff Office): the coordination mechanism is unclear, non-optimal communication, many doors for data requests, and no data harmonization mechanism. Based on these problems central government encouraged regional governments to implement OD with four strategic stages that must be done, namely: early engagement, capacity development, implementing Open Government Data, and sustaining stages. This article describes those four stages and how citizens get involved at every stage, and the chalanges and impacts of this movement.
