In May 2U, 2006 earthquake hit Yogyakarta and Central Java measured 5.9 on the Richter scale and lasted for S2 seconds. The impact of the earthquake in May 2U, 2006 which hit Yogyakarta and Central Java was very devastating. To add the anguish, one of the most important economic pillars of Yogyakarta's inhabitants: the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) were also severely affected by the calamity. The preliminary assessment done by various institutions found that thousands SMEs actors have lost their enterprises. Moreover, ten thousands SMEs workers lost their jobs by which they make a living. To easy the pain of the impact of this tragedy, this paper offers a scenario to utilize the strong altruism culture of Yogyakarta's community as an economic instrument to help the SMEs actors to rebuild their business. The cultural instrument here means that people in Yogyakarta are suggested to use their moral judgment rather than rational one when making a choice to fulfill their daily needs: that is by switching their preference from buying branded manufactured goods made by big factories to simpler products made by SMEs. This community movement, hopefully, will boost the demand of SMEs products which in the end could support the efforts of the SMEs actors to recover their business.
The implementation of new laws on local autonomy in Indonesia has arisen hopes democracy an better services at the local level. However, these no hopes have not materialized as yer due to various barriers. The local stakeholders are not well prepared with the increasing discretionary powers. They tended to abuse their powers and neglected public interests, which resulted in loss qualified public services. Thing are more complicated as central government officials have not ready to share authorities with their local counterparts. Local government budgets are still depended on subsidies from the central government. It is difficult for the local government to carry out autonomous and efficient public services long as the financial issues are not resolved.
In the recentyears, the implementation study is facing a difficult time since its emergence for several deracks ago. This challenging, as a matter of fact, is caused by of various factors. Among of these factors, only to mention several of them, are.-first, the emergence of new public administration (NPM) in the 1990s. Some scholars argued that NPM souk/ be utilized to remedy iheprohlems of implementation, which mainly is seen as the probkm of administrative and management. This development subsequently raises a critical question to the implementation stuch, whether this study should be continued or not. Second, the declining of the domination of the government as the sole agent which is responsible to implement the government polity as the consequence of the need for democratisation. The second development gives new pressure to the government to invite more active role of the civil society and private sectors, not only to implement the government polity, but also to set up policy agenda and to formulatepoliry. The involvement of various organisations in implementing government policies means that the administrative and management approaches to understand the problems of implementation are not relevant any longer. After discussing all of these problems, this article then argues that the implementation study should renew its approach if this study still wants to maintain its existence. To do so, this article suggests that the scholars who carryout research on this theme should understand the problems of implementation not only as administrative and management as such, but also as political problem as well. This means that the problems of implementation should be understood also as the dynamic of the relationships among the stakeholders who have interest to a certain kind of policy within the policy cycle.

Krisis ekonomi yang melanda Indonesia sejak pertengahan tahun 1997 telah menimbulkan dampak yang serius terhadap berbagai aspek kehidupan masyarakat, baik ekonomi, sosial maupun politik. Akibat krisis tersebut menurut Biro Pusat Statistik ( BPS) lebih dari 13 juta pekerja menjadi penggangguran karena terkena PHK. Akan tetapi yang lebih mengkawatirkan lagi, sejak krisis ekonomi melanda Indonesia jumlah penduduk miskin di Indonesia mengalami kenaikan secara drastis dari 'hanya' 27 juta pada tahun 1996 menjadi lebih dari 80 juta pada tahun 1998. Meningkatnya jumlah penduduk miskin tersebut kemudian menjadi pemicu munculnya berbagai problem sosial ekonomi yang lain yang lebih kompleks seperti anak putus sekolah, mall nutrisi, berkembangnya penyakit infeksi dan lain-lain. Untuk menyelamatkan bangsa Indonesia dari keterpurukan yang lebih parah (mencegah terjadinya the lost generation) maka Pemerintah Indonesia dengan bantuan IMF dan Bank Dunia kemudian meluncurkan program faring Pengaman Sosial (JPS) . Sayangnya, sebagaimana ditunjukkan dalam tulisan ini, implementasi program JPS ternyata belum berhasil rnencapai tujuan yang diharapkan. Studi kasus yang diangkat dalam tulisan ini pada akhirnya juga semakin memperkuat berbagai temuan serupa yang telah dilakukan oleh para peneliti sebelumnya yang mengungkapkan bahwa kelemahan instistusional yang ada pada pihak pelaksana, kurangnya informasi yang dimiliki oleh kelompok penerima, dan rendahnya dukungan masyarakat terhadap pelaksanaan program merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab kegagalan implementasi program JPS.
