DEVELOPMENT OF POPULATION INFORMATION SYSTEM AND CIVIL REGISTRATION BASED ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This study aims to legally analyze the development of a population information system and civil registration based on information technology in an international context and its implementation in Indonesia. Digital transformation in population administration is crucial along with the increasing demands for fast, transparent, and equitable public services. Using a legal-normative approach through a library research method, this study examines national laws and regulations such as Law No. 24 of 2013 concerning Population Administration and international standards set by UN DESA, World Bank ID4D, and UNHCR. Data were analyzed qualitatively with a comparative approach to the practices of countries such as Estonia, India, and Rwanda. The results of the study show that the Centralized SIAK and Digital Dukcapil systems in Indonesia have progressed, but have not fully met the principles of good governance, interoperability, and personal data protection as global standards. The impact of this study is expected to be able to provide normative recommendations in updating population administration regulations and encourage synergy between sectors for the development of an information system that is inclusive, safe, and respects the digital human rights of every citizen
