The Division of Student Development and Empowerment, Public Administration Student Association (HIMA-AP) Djuanda University Bogor held DISMA LARMA (Discussion Together Learning Together) through a zoom meeting on June 28, 2022. Raising the theme of Disruption Era Reform: Kovi Otda By Mendagri, this activity presented a resource person from the public administration study program lecturer Faisal Tri Ramdani, S.Sos., M.A.P. and was attended by all public administration students. The Directorate General (Ditjen) of Regional Autonomy (Otda) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) created a Metaverse-based service called Kovi Otda or Virtual Consultation on Regional Autonomy. The Metaverse-based technological innovation is claimed to be able to reduce the potential for corruption within the local government (Pemda). The Metaverse-based service can be accessed through www.kovi.otda.kemendagri.go.id. The Ministry of Home Affairs will provide an account to the Regional Government to access the service. Later, LGs can consult with the central government through a three-dimensional display. However, the launch of the service received great resistance from the community because it was considered too modern and contradictory to the implementation of public services that are still carried out conventionally. The resource person explained several points about Kovi Otda including the effect of Kovi Otda on public services, polemics over Kovi Otda, perspectives or views of intellectuals on Kovi Otda and expectations that the public or the community want regarding Kovi Otda.
