Strategy for Improving the Quality of Slum Settlements Through Environmental Infrastructure Enhancement
Keywords:
Slum Settlements, Environmental Infrastructure, Community Participation, SWOT.Abstract
Slum settlements are one of the major urban issues in many Indonesian cities, including in Tegal Sari Subdistrict, Kisaran City. This study aims to analyze strategies for improving the quality of slum areas through the enhancement of environmental infrastructure using SWOT analysis. Data were collected through surveys of 150 respondents, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The results indicate that the quality of environmental infrastructure in Tegal Sari is still poor, particularly in terms of drainage systems, sanitation, and access to clean water. Community participation in environmental planning and maintenance remains low, while government policies have had limited impact due to minimal citizen involvement and a lack of program sustainability. The SWOT analysis identifies significant opportunities to improve slum areas through collaboration among government, communities, and the private sector. Strategic recommendations proposed in this study include the implementation of eco-drainage systems based on green technology, the use of blockchain for transparent distribution of housing improvement aid, and participation-based incentives for community-led infrastructure maintenance. These innovations are expected to provide sustainable solutions for enhancing environmental quality and improving the well-being of residents in slum settlements.
