INTRODUCTION
In the rapidly evolving era of digitalization, the utilization of information technology has become a necessity to enhance efficiency and the quality of services in various sectors, including administrative services in government. One of the platforms that is currently very popular and has a wide reach is WhatsApp (WA). WhatsApp has become a commonly used communication tool among the public, including in the context of government administration at the district level.
Speaking about the number of users, We Are Social reports that WhatsApp now has two billion active monthly users. In terms of gender, male users dominate with 54.2%, while females account for 45.8% (https://www.detik.com/jabar/berita/d-6561476), accessed on July 12, 2024. Another piece of information related to WhatsApp users indicates that Indonesia has 171 million internet users, or 64.4% of the population, with 83% of those 171 million being WhatsApp users (https://www.kominfo.go.id/content/detail/22824/kominfo), accessed on July 12, 2024.
Informasi lain terkait pengguna whatsaap menyebutkan bahwa pengguna internet di Indonesia ada 171 juta atau 64,4 persen menggunakan internet, di mana 83 persen dari 171 juta itu adalah pengguna WhatsApp (https://www.kominfo.go.id/content/detail/22824/kominfo), diakses pada tanggal 12 Juli 2024.
Based on this data, it can be concluded that the number of WhatsApp users, both globally and in Indonesia, continues to increase year after year. This presents both challenges and opportunities for every institution and organization to effectively utilize it for the benefit of humanity.
The responsibility for optimizing public services in the field of population administration does not rest solely with the central government but extends to all levels of government. This is in line with the construction of the division of governmental affairs as stipulated in Article 12 of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, where population administration falls into the category of concurrent government affairs, which are divided between the central, provincial, and regency/city governments. The distribution of responsibilities requires all levels of government, including regency/city governments, to optimize population administration services according to their respective authority within the organization to achieve the desired benefits (Andi, 2019).
In the context of the division of responsibilities for population administration as regulated by the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, it is important to understand that population administration is one of the concurrent government affairs. This means that the responsibility for optimizing public services in the field of population administration is not only borne by the central government but also involves all levels of government, including regency/city governments.
Regency/city governments play an important role in managing population administration services according to their authority. This division of responsibilities creates a dynamic collaboration between the central, provincial, and regency/city governments to jointly achieve the goal of optimizing public services in the field of population administration. Based on the principles of the Law, each level of government needs to exercise its authority to the best of its ability to achieve the benefits desired by the public.
The implementation of optimization in population administration services at the regency/city level requires good coordination among the various relevant parties, including the governance section at the district office and other related agencies. In addition, efforts to improve service quality should be carried out through the use of information technology, public engagement, and administrative process improvement.
Empowering human resources at the regency/city government level in managing population administration cannot be overlooked. By understanding and exercising their authority, regency/city governments can optimize public services in the field of population administration according to the needs and development of the local community. The continuity of synergy between the various levels of government will be the key to success in achieving optimal population administration services that are responsive to the needs of the public.
Literally, optimization comes from the root word “optimal,” which means the highest, most profitable, the most preferred amount or level of something. Optimization is the process, method, or action of optimizing, while to optimize means to make the best, to make the highest. Optimal, according to Fatkhur (2018), means solving a problem, while optimization means taking appropriate steps and strategies, as well as systematically setting suitable targets in order to achieve predetermined goals, which is maximum results. Optimal resolution means that its positive impact is maximized, or its negative impact is minimized.
According to Winardi in Prayogo (2018), optimization refers to efforts to maximize activities so as to realize the desired benefits. Optimization, according to Siregar in Suryani and Jamaluddin (2016), needs to be supported by a strategy formulation that minimizes or eliminates threats from external environmental factors and uses the strengths available within the organization. Based on the explanation above, the concept of optimization, especially in terms of service optimization, can be defined as an action or process to make a service more/fully perfect, functional, or more effective.
The Kulo District Office, as a government agency with an important responsibility in delivering public services at the local level, needs to continuously innovate to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its administrative services. The use of WhatsApp as a communication medium can be a relevant solution to accelerate administrative processes, facilitate interaction with the public, and increase public engagement.
Based on the author’s analysis and review, administrative services, especially in the governance section of Kulo District, are still relatively slow. Given the rural geography, the public faces challenges in accessing service information, such as slow response times and a lack of verbal communication due to the busy schedules of farmers, making it difficult for them to attend to the administrative tasks they need. Therefore, the use of technology such as WhatsApp is deemed necessary to help the public speed up the administrative services they require.
However, in implementing WhatsApp for administrative services, an in-depth analysis is needed regarding the challenges, potential benefits, and optimization steps that can be taken. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and identify the factors that influence the use of WhatsApp in administrative services in the governance section of the Kulo District Office, as well as propose optimization strategies to improve performance and stakeholder satisfaction.
Grafik 1 Tingkat Kepuasan Masyarakat
Graph 1 illustrates the level of public satisfaction with administrative services at the Kulo District Office over three years, namely 2021, 2022, and 2023. This graph measures five satisfaction categories: Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Moderately Satisfied, Less Satisfied, and Not Satisfied. In 2021, the number of respondents who felt “Moderately Satisfied” was the highest, followed by “Satisfied” and “Very Satisfied.” In 2022, although the number of respondents who felt “Satisfied” increased, the “Moderately Satisfied” category experienced a decline compared to the previous year. In 2023, there was a significant decrease across all satisfaction categories, with the highest number remaining in the “Moderately Satisfied” category. Overall, this graph shows fluctuations in the public’s satisfaction with administrative services at the Kulo District Office, with a declining trend that requires attention for evaluation and quality improvement in the future.
The reality shows that public service issues within government have long been a focus of public attention, along with many cases of public services being considered unsupportive of the people’s interests. This indicates that the quality of services provided by the government has not yet shown satisfactory results for the public (Rohayatin, 2017).
Several factors contributing to the lack of quality in public services include the factors of human resources of the apparatus, bureaucratic organization, procedures, mindset, organizational performance, bureaucratic culture, bureaucratic innovation and information technology, bureaucratic behavior, service systems and strategies, transactional leadership, adaptive organizational structure, corrupt organizational behavior, weak policy implementation, the absence of the application of good governance principles, and bureaucratic communication (Rohayatin, 2017).
By understanding this background, it is expected that this research will provide a significant contribution to the development of WhatsApp-based administrative service systems in government institutions, particularly at the Kulo District Office. The implementation of solutions derived from this research is hoped to create more efficient, responsive, and integrated services that align with the needs of the community, thereby increasing trust and active participation in the governance process at the district level.

This research provides important insights for the development and improvement of technology-based administrative services in the future.
The implementation of WhatsApp-based administrative services at the Kulo District Office shows that modern communication technology can facilitate public services efficiently and effectively. These findings align with previous research, which demonstrates that instant messaging applications like WhatsApp can enhance the accessibility and efficiency of public services (Rahman, 2018) (Susanti, 2020).
Rahman’s (2018) research shows that using WhatsApp in public services in several government agencies can reduce wait times and improve responsiveness to public requests. This study also found that WhatsApp enables faster and easier communication between officers and citizens, reducing bureaucratic barriers often encountered in conventional services.
Susanti (2020) examined the use of WhatsApp in administrative services at the sub-district level and found that the application simplifies document processing, such as for ID cards, birth certificates, and relocation letters. Susanti also noted that public satisfaction with WhatsApp-based services is high due to the ease of access and time efficiency offered.
In addition, Widiastuti’s (2019) research emphasizes the importance of technological infrastructure stability, such as a reliable internet connection, in supporting the successful implementation of instant messaging application-based administrative services. This study found that obstacles like unstable internet signals can hinder the effectiveness of the service and reduce user satisfaction levels.
