Policy Design and Implementation Logic of Collaborative Assisted OSS-RBA Licensing: A Van Meter and Van Horn Analysis of the Laksamana Bentan Programme in Bintan Regency

Abstract

This article analyzes the policy design and implementation logic of the Laksamana Bentan Programme as a collaborative assisted Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA) licensing service in Bintan Regency, Kepulauan Riau Province, Indonesia. The study is positioned as a qualitative document-based case analysis rather than as an assessment of measured programme performance. The evidence examined in the manuscript consists of the regulatory and administrative basis of the programme, official DPMPTSP service information, Laksamana Bentan programme materials, and relevant scholarly literature. Van Meter and Van Horn’s policy implementation model is used as the primary analytical framework, covering policy standards and objectives, resources, inter-organizational communication, characteristics of implementing agencies, implementer disposition, and the economic, social, and political environment. Digital and geographical conditions are treated as contextual subdimensions of the external environment because they directly shape access to assisted OSS-RBA services in an archipelagic setting. The document analysis indicates a policy design in which DPMPTSP retains regulatory, technical, coordination, and monitoring functions, while kelurahan, village, and sub-district apparatus serve as nearby assisted-service nodes. The study therefore identifies institutional requirements, coordination needs, and potential implementation risks, but does not claim verified effects on service completion, administrative burden, or citizen satisfaction. Its contribution lies in specifying an analytically coherent framework for understanding locally embedded assisted digital licensing and for guiding future empirical validation.
