Keywords:
Infrastructure, Welfare, SWOT, DevelopmentAbstract
Socio-economic infrastructure development is one of the key factors in enhancing community welfare. This study aims to evaluate the long-term impact of socio-economic infrastructure development programs on community welfare in Samosir Regency. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a SWOT analysis approach, the study identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the implementation of infrastructure policies in the region. Data were collected through surveys of 200 respondents, interviews with policymakers, and analysis of secondary data from official sources. The findings indicate that infrastructure development has had a positive impact on community welfare, particularly in terms of mobility, economic opportunities, and tourism sector growth. However, challenges remain, such as disparities between urban and rural areas, limited access to basic services, and inadequate maintenance of existing infrastructure. Underutilized yet effective strategies, such as community-based infrastructure management, the use of renewable energy, and results-based financing, should be urgently implemented to ensure the sustainability and equitable distribution of infrastructure benefits throughout Samosir Regency.
