Evaluation of the “Kota Tanpa Kumuh” (KOTAKU) Program in Addressing Slum Settlements in Kampung Bugis Subdistrict, Tanjungpinang City

Abstract

This study aims to review the implementation of the Kota Tanpa Kumuh (KOTAKU) Program in addressing uninhabitable residential areas in Kampung Bugis Subdistrict, Tanjungpinang City. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, direct field observations, and documentation. The evaluation is based on six criteria by William N. Dunn: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The findings show that the KOTAKU program significantly succeeded in developing basic infrastructure such as neighborhood roads, drainage systems, and sanitation facilities. The program implementation is considered efficient despite facing several administrative and technical obstacles. Adequacy has not been fully achieved, especially in waste management and fire protection systems. The program benefits are not yet evenly distributed across all target areas. Community participation is high, reflecting strong responsiveness, and the program's objectives are deemed relevant to residents' needs. Although the program officially ended in 2023, its positive impacts are still being felt today.
