“…Using the same working mechanism and policy approach in all SEZs in Indonesia has not been able to provide the same level of success. Previous studies reported In developing SEZs that in developing SEZs, a different approach is needed, based on the advantages and characteristics of each region and focusing more on competitiveness than fiscal incentives (Neem al, 2020), suitability of the type of SEZ focus on human resources skills and local innovation capacity (Frick & Rodriguez-Pose, 2019), a dynamic evolutionary strategy that is open to change in economic conditions and future development challenges (Aggarwal, 2019), also government high commitment and the ability for coordination and collective action (Darmastuti al, 2018). So, it is essential to develop a good strategy for developing special economic zones based on the scientific views of experts and the characteristics of each region, especially from a cultural aspect.…”

Introduction: This study aims to determine the strategy for implementing policies for the Sorong Special Economic Zone, which is located in the Province of Southwest Papua-Indonesia, through a science-based public policy approach using the perspective of experts' opinions. Methods: The methodology consists of qualitative research and uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in the analysis process. Qualitative analysis is used to identify factors and sub-factors that influence policy implementation through a synthesis of several policy implementation theories. Meanwhile, the AHP method was used to determine the experts' choices regarding alternative strategies for implementing SEZ policies in Sorong. Result and Discussion: The results of the research show that communication and the level of technical difficulty of problems are factors and sub-factors that greatly influence the SEZ policy implementation process in Sorong. Conclusion: The best strategy for implementing the SEZ policy in Sorong is to use optimistic alternatives implemented through a different approach, considering cultural factors in the implementation process and having an adaptation strategy to face changes in the situation and conditions of the global economy in the future to maintain the sustainability of the policy.

Reversing Uncontrolled and Unprofitable Urban Expansion in Africa through Special Economic Zones: An Evaluation of Ethiopian and Zambian Cases

Despite the growing attention on uncontrolled and unprofitable urban sprawling in many African countries, few pragmatic solutions have been raised or effectively implemented. While uncontrolled and unprofitable urban expansions happened primarily due to poor land use management and dysfunctional land market, the cost of land management enforcement and reform is high. This paper suggests that the recently re-emerging special economic zones (SEZs) in Africa could be a practical way of using government intervention to reduce uncontrolled urban expansion and optimize urban land use. By evaluating the spatial impacts of two SEZs on their host cities in Ethiopia and Zambia, this paper demonstrates that SEZs could notably change urban expansion in terms of its speed, direction, and spatial structure. By using SEZs as an experimental area for land policy reform, the government can also effectively unlock a profitable urban development model with the functional primary and secondary land market. However, the diverging results in Ethiopia and Zambia also show that the optimizing effect can be significant only when the government is participatory and can fulfil its public function, including delivering proper planning in advance, lunching land policy reform, and even executing compulsory land acquisition for public interests.

The increasing global consciousness and collective recognition of the importance of sustainability, coupled with initiatives focused on sustainable development, have resulted in a heightened commitment and transformation among organizations and corporations in their endeavors to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals through their corporate sustainability initiatives. Prior studies have underscored the effects of corporate sustainability on various strategic levels, such as corporate, business, and operations, paving the way for further investigation. This paper seeks to establish a theoretical framework for sustainable operations strategy through six propositions and subsequently validate this framework via a qualitative case study analysis of a production and processing special economic zone in an emerging nation, specifically Indonesia. The findings from the empirical testing indicate that the proposed theoretical framework has been validated with minor adjustments, through the inclusion of good corporate governance and the adoption of local core values. The paper also presents theoretical and managerial implications, along with suggestions for future research avenues.
