INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
As we know, the government offices and private offices are not far from the word
archive. The archive is a source of information and authentic evidence within each
organization activities, which is used as consideration in making decisions (Amsyah, 1989:
3). Definition of the archive on the Law No. 43 of 2009 Article 1 Paragraph 2 is:
Archive is a record of activity or event in various forms and media according to the
development of information and communication technology created and accepted by state
institutions, local governments, educational institutions, company, political organizations,
civic organizations, and individuals in the implementation of social life, nation and state.
1
From the above explanation it can be seen that, archive is very important for
institution or company. Archive will be saved if there will be unexpected condition like
wildfire. Archive storage should not be arbitrary because archive is important document for
institution. So, the authenticity of the archive should be maintained by saving the original of
the letter or document. Archiving is one of the tasks in secretariat. Therefore, secretariat is
responsible to store archive from irresponsible people.
In the Mayor Regulation of Yogyakarta Number 88 Year 2010 about Guidelines
Archive Government of Yogyakarta City, it is mentioned that archive is recording activity in
various types of media which are followed by the development of information and
communication technology that have been done and are accepted by government institution
and organization in the implementation of social life and nation. Therefore, archive system is
required in all institutions and government organizations to help the work. Archive system
should be done with caution, officers better choose document and it is adjusted according to
alphabets or codes.
Functionally, the archive is divided into two kinds, dynamic archive and static archive
(Barthos, 1997: 4). The dynamic archive is an archive that is still needed directly in the
implementation of planning and conducting a national affair in general or in the
administration of the state which is created and managed to support organizational activity.
The dynamic archive is divided into two, active archive and inactive archive. An active
archive is an archive that is still needed directly is used in administration and managed by
Processing Unit, whereas the inactive archive is archive whose frequency of use is reduced
and managed by Archive Center. Grouping of the archive is viewed from its usefulness. The
static archive is an archive that is not used directly for implementation of planning and
conducting the national affair in general, as well as for the daily administration and is in the
National Archives of the Republic Indonesia or in the National Archives of Region (Barthos,
1997: 4).
Seen from the definition of the archive above, letter is one of example of archives.
Letters contain information that is beneficial to the organization or institution managing the
letter. According to Wiyasa (1992: 2-3) letters are divided into several types and classes, that
is according to the content and the sender are official letter (government office), commercial
letter (business letter) and personal letter. According to the purpose and objective are
notification letter, decision letter, command letter, request letter and application letter,
warning letter, call letter, letter of offer, agreement letter, ordering letter, reporting letter,
introduction letter, confirmation letter and prosecution letter (claim). Then, according to the
2
form of the letter are postcard, postal form, note or memo, telegram, telex and facsimile.
Based on the guarantee are highly confidential letter, confidential letter, limited letter and
regular letter. Based on the urgency of the solution are special express letter, express letter
and regular letter (Wiyasa, 1992: 2-3).
Amsyah (2001: 51) said that the filing procedure consists of the initial procedure and
storage procedure. The initial procedure is the early stage of the creation of the archive, that
is managing incoming and outgoing letter. Management procedures for incoming letter
include recording administration activities, rationing, and processing, while procedures for
outgoing letter include administration making of letters, records, and delivery. Storage
procedure will be made in connection with the saving of a document. Storage procedure for
the incoming and outgoing letter is the same. That involves inspection activities, indexing,
coding, sorting, and laying. The system used in archival procedures uses the control card
system and organizer book system (Amsyah, 2001: 51).
According to Martono (1997: 48), the stage of an incoming and outgoing letter are
related to correspondence. Correspond serves as a connecting and recording instruments.
Every instruction from the leader is embodied in verbal form. The function indicates that
correspondence takes the main place in the organization as the instruments to give
instruction, report, and receive the information. Activities should be done in writing, so it is
easy to remember and account. The letter is a written communication instrument created to
deliver news or information to other parties (Martono, 1997: 48). Another function of the
letter is as a guide to conduct activities in accordance with the information in it, request or
petition to do something according to the interests of action or transaction that have been
done, and a reminder about everything that has been done. The correspondence activity will
continue as long as the organization is still running basic tasks and functions (Martono, 1997:
48).
Handling incoming and outgoing letter is intended to get the letter arrive quickly,
safely, precisely and at the cost lowest to the parties who are addressed. The goal is to
achieve efficiency and saving. Handling letter is not only about receiving and sending a letter,
but also directing and delivering a letter to the desk. Outline activities in the handling of letter
are receiving incoming letter, sorting incoming letter, defining and determining the direction
of the letter, classifying the letter on the basis of its quality, noting the letter in order to
control the information, distributing a letter to work desks, recording the outgoing letter, and
sending the outgoing letter (Martono, 1992: 1).
3
In this final project, the handling of the letter is handling incoming and outgoing
letter. The reader needs to know that letter is the important archive to the organization. If
there is no letter management, it will result in confusion in the administration. All of the
administration about archival guidelines has been set according to the book No. 88 of 2010
about the guidance of the archive in the government which is issued by the Mayor of
Yogyakarta, so it must be implemented according to the rules that have been set.
Based on observation at Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta can be seen that the
institution that has dense activities is confronted with various archive issues. The issues are
mainly on the handling of letter, one of which is inadequate filing facilities both of quality
and quantity. In term of quality, many control cards are damaged, whereas in term of
quantity,it can be seen from the number of letter in storage that has not been stored in the
filing cabinet or in archive shelves. In Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta, the
correspondence uses manual system starting from acceptance to distribution. In this final
report, the writer will explain the procedure of processing letter using non script (dossier
sheet) as implemented in the Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta.
With the problems in the handling of letter, the writer conducted research on
Handling Incoming Letter and Outgoing Letter in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta.
There were many problems with the processing of letter and the limited time and energy
found, so in this research the writer emphasizes the handle of incoming letter and outgoing

in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta, the writer was placed in secretariat office. Secretariat
field consists of secretary, head sub-section of general and staffing, and four staffs who have
their respective duties. In secretariat the writer was asked to help the staff such as handling

because archives can be evidence in the emergency situation for example as evidence in the
disbursement of funds or promotion of employee.
The activities of the writer did when she was doing the internship in Dinas

process that should be followed. The process of handling incoming and outgoing letter in
Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta uses classification codes that are made or set by the
17

3.3 HANDLING OF LETTER
According to Martono (1992:1) handling letter is an activity of receiving and sending
an incoming and outgoing letter, and circulating a letter to the working units within the
organization. Activities of receiving an incoming letter, giving outgoing letter number and
circulating a letter to the employee desks in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta are the task
of secretariat staffs. Handling letter in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta is used non-tata
naskah (dossier). Based on urgency, letters are divided into three, that is:
1. The regular letter is a letter whose contents are not binding and there is no provision in
following up the letter, because if data is lost information can still be obtained from other
sources.
2. Special letter of contents are binding. The contents of special letter usually concerns
policy issues, so in following up this letter must be accordance with the predetermined
groove.
3. Confidential letter is a letter that needs to be protected by confidentiality because the
content or the characteristic of this letter is important, so if there is leakage of
information about the contents of this letter will cause huge losses for the organization
and reduce or complicate the implementation activity in organization.
During an internship at Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta, the writer observed the
procedure of handling incoming and outgoing letter which is as follow:
a. Procedure of Incoming Letter
Signature
Incoming circulated to
Control Card Head of
Letter Employees
Department
The procedure of incoming letter is the first, the incoming letter or invitation is
accepted by secretariat and controlled by the employee who handles the letter. Furthermore,
the letter is controlled in incoming control card and paper disposition, while the invitation is
written in incoming invitation book and paper disposition. Mrs. Lisnawati said that for secret
archives the officer could not open the envelope and just control it in incoming control card
by write the x code (personal interview, 17 April 2017). Next, the incoming letter or
19
invitation which has been controlled is given to the Head Department room to be read and
Head Department will give the disposition to the employee in accordance with the contents of
letter. Then the Head of Department asks the secretariat staff to take the letter. After the
secretariat takes the letter, the staff will distribute to the employee who get the disposition.
Lastly, in order to give the letter to the employee who gets the disposition, the staff takes the
blue control card and white disposition paper. Finally, at the end of the month the officer will
record the incoming letter based on the data in the incoming letter control card and is noted to
the list of incoming letter handle and the letter or control card is stored in archive box.
After the officer records all the control card of incoming letter, the writer helps the
officer to enter the archive into the archive box according to the code of the letter. The code
is used by the Yogyakarta Culture Department is regulated in the Mayor Regulation of
Yogyakarta Number 88 Year 2010 in Appendix II on Page 20-135. The codes are used as
guidance in handling of incoming letter and outgoing letter. With code, the letter becomes
easier to be grouped by types. The process of archiving letter or invitation out in Dinas
Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta is followed by the Mayor Regulation of Yogyakarta Number
88 Year 2010 on the Archiving System to be a Guide in the Filling System.
20
Special letter and confidential letter are recorded in control card in the cabinet
accordance with the archive classification code that has been determined. Recording was the
same with as the above groove, but in a secret letter the column on the disposition sheet is
only filled with the receipt date of the letter and the storage code and checklist in the
forwarded section. While for the regular letter because the contents are not binding, so in the
recording of this letter must be clarified in advance to write the storage code. On the control
card that should be noted for the regular letter control that is the content of the letter, the
receipt date of the letter, storage code and checklist in the forwarded section.
Signature
Letter Classification Control Card Head of
Department
The first procedure of outgoing letter is that all divisions or the employees can make
the outgoing letter or invitation and it is better if they print that twice and after they make a
letters, they should report it to the secretariat. Then, secretariat will control the letter in
outgoing control card and for the outgoing invitation is controlled in outgoing book of
invitation. Next, secretariat brings the letters or invitations that are already controlled into the
Head Department room to be signed. After that, the Head Department asks to the secretariat
to take the letters or invitations that already signed and secretariat give the number or code
according to the contents of the letter or invitation. Last, secretariat will return one of the
letters or invitations. Secretariat will return one of the letters or invitation to division who
made it, for one letters or invitation will be the archive for secretariat. And finally, at the end
of the month the officer makes a record the outgoing letter or invitation according to the data
in outgoing control card and is noted to the list of outgoing letter handle.

6. Agenda book
Agenda book is used to record the incoming letter in the form of invitation. This book
contains the origin of the letter, day and date of invitation, the contents of the letter, and the
location of invitation. All invitation schedules are in this book.
27
supervising, removing and destructing of archive is carried out by the secretariat.
Decentralization is all of the work units manage their archive. In here, all of the archive
activity from recording, storing, borrowing, supervising, removing and destructing of archive
is carried out by each work unit. While the combination of centralization and decentralization
is combination of the two principles of organization is the principle of centralization and
decentralization. In the management of principles combine, the archive that is still used
managed in work unit of each processing (decentralitation) and archive that have been rarely
used managed in one work unit (centralitation).
28
b. Facilities and infrastructure are the tools to maximize the work in the office. Facilities
and infrastructure in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta are inadequate, because all of
the facilities that are used during for practice are only simple equipments, one of which is
a computer. The lack of computer in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta causes the
employees do not work optimally. Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta provides twelve
computers, some computers were damaged and in completing their respective duties, the
employees must be mutually borrowing computers from another division or other
employees table. For the institution, the facilities and infrastructure are not effective
because it can slower the work, and
c. Human resources in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta is consists of 25 civil servants
and assisted by 8 personnel experts. However, many employees do not work optimally
because one staff can do some works. For example, Mr. Setiyo who is in charge on
controlling letter, he also has to deliver a letter to another institution. Whereas it is not
his duty. Another example is Mrs. Yuni who served in finance, she also performs tasks
related to employee data. In addition, the human resources who are responsible for the
letter lack basic education from the administration or the secretarial school that
ultimately have an impact on the incompatibility in the field. It is considered very
inefficient.
From the observation during internship in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta, the
writer found there were things that needed to be improved in secretariat. In the handling of
incoming and outgoing letter is only done manually without any recording file. Although the
manual recording is in accordance with the Mayor Regulation Number 39 Year 2015
Guidance on Letter Control in the government of Yogyakarta City. So, the writer is interested
to discuss the things that need to be improved and also the writer will give the suggestion.
The writer will give suggestion to improve handling letter in DinasKebudayaan Kota
Yogyakarta appropriate with analysis when doing an internship. The advice will be given
which is as follow:
a. In the recording of incoming letter and outgoing letter, the process is still done manually
and the letter is saved in folder, but the storage of the folder should be in a safe place
such as cabinet or drawer. As said by Amsyah (2001: 63) that a letter storage is done
29
within a folder labeled with date applicable for 3 (three) months and every month
consists of 31 folders by date. The folders are then stored in file storage which is usually
placed in one of the drawers of the file cabinet (2001: 63).
b. In the case of facilities and infrastructure, an employee should have their own office
supplies at his desk, especially computer. With the computer on their desks, employees
do not need to borrow from another table. Adequate infrastructure will facilitate the
employee in the work.
c. The problem of human resources in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta should be of
the Head of Departments attention. The institution can open job application for each
division. Human resources who donot have a basic education from administration or
secretarial school can be guided and conducted training about procedure of handling
letter with the correct. The training will useful for the handling letter. Thus, the activity
of working in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta become more controllable and run
smoothly.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
4.1. CONCLUSION
In this chapter, the writer discusses the conclusion and suggestion of graduation paper.
Dinas Kebudayan Kota Yogyakarta is one of the government agencies that working in the
field of culture. At Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta there is a secretariat office and three
divisions that assist the Head of Department. Secretariat office is working on archive,
administration and personnel. The writer focuses on the lack in process of handling incoming
letter and outgoing letter in Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta. Based on the experience of
an internship at Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta, the writers can conclude that the
handling of incoming and outgoing letter at Yogyakarta Culture Department is good with the
flow that has been implemented from the receipt of the letter to the distribution, as well as
outgoing letter. Handling of letter ranging from systems and processes at Dinas Kebudayaan
Kota Yogyakarta has been in accordance with the Mayorof Regulation Number 39 Year 2015
on Guidelines for Controlling Letter in the Government of Yogyakarta, that is:
In Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta the process of receiving letter from other
institution has been done and incoming letter is received by the secretariat office to be
followed up. The process of letter briefing is done after the reception process. This process
will be done by letter processor to be followed up. At Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Yogyakarta in
recording of incoming letter using a control card. The control card will be saved to archive.
Numbering on outgoing letter is done in the secretariat office and according to the contents of
the letter. Distribution is done after the letter gets dispensation from the head of department.
The letter that was signed will be distributed to the tables of employee. Temporary storage is
done in the secretariat office. The storage is intended as information if there are employees
who need information.
Recording of incoming letter and outgoing letter are only done manually and the storage
of letter is just a map. Facilities and infrastructures in the handling of letter are inadequate
which is evidenced by stationery and incomplete office supplies because each employees
have no stationery and office supplies at their own desk. It causes ineffectiveness in work.
Human resources who served in the secretariat office of the Dinas Kebudayaan Kota
