Analysis of the Implementation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Regulation regarding Self-Help Housing Stimulus Assistance in Langkat Regency

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Self-Help Housing Stimulant Assistance Program (BSPS) in Langkat Regency based on targeting accuracy, implementation mechanisms, technical assistance, and commUnitsy participation. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach through document analysis, field observations, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results indicate that the implementation of the BSPS has had a positive impact on improving the quality of housing for low-income commUnitsies. However, several obstacles remain, including a suboptimal integrated RTLH database, varying self-help capabilities, and limited facilitators in several sub-districts. CommUnitsy participation is quite high, especially in areas with strong social capital, although understanding of the stimulant concept remains uneven. To increase the program's effectiveness and sustainability, strategies are needed to strengthen the digital data collection system, increase the capacity of technical facilitators, establish commUnitsy-based self-help schemes, and foster cross-sectoral synergy with village governments and other empowerment programs. Thus, the BSPS Program in Langkat Regency plays a role not only in physical development but also in fostering commUnitsy independence and social cohesion.
