Description
Summary:One of the causes of the emergence of slum settlements in urban areas is the inability or failure of the community to reach and fulfill all their needs of life support. Therefore, community participation is a necessary effort in dealing with the problem of slum settlements in Indonesia. In order to deal with the problem of slum settlements, the Directorate General of Human Settlements took the initiative to build a collaboration platform through the City Without Slums Program (KOTAKU), where the local government leads the handling of slums by prioritizing collaborative and participatory principles from the planning stage to its implementation. Community participation is the principal capital in achieving the KOTAKU program targets, where the achievement of this program will not run optimally without the active involvement of the community. As one of the wards with the best program achievement scores and slum reduction rates in the City of Yogyakarta, the implementation of the KOTAKU program in Pringgoksuman Village needs to be used as a pilot and reviewed regarding community participation practices that are applied at each stage of the program. In this study, the forms, approaches, and mechanisms of community participation will be examined while at the same time reviewing the outcomes of implementing community participation in the KOTAKU program. The analysis conducted in this study used descriptive qualitative methods. From this research, the researcher can conclude that the KOTAKU program is implemented through four stages: preparation, planning, implementation, and sustainability. Based on a review of the community participation mechanism using the democracy cube (Fung, 2006), it is known that in the implementation of the KOTAKU program, there are efforts to increase the representative value with the formation of an organization or community group, namely the TIPP group (Participatory Planning Core Team) at the planning stage, KSM (Self-help Group) Community) at the implementation stage and KPP (Maintenance and Utilization Group) at the sustainability stage. This mechanism also increases the value of the effectiveness of implementing community participation through partnerships with facilitators, then giving full authority to the community in maintaining the infrastructure built. Informative and reflective communication processes are also enhanced, providing space for the district to negotiate and deliberate in determining policies for handling slum settlements from the implementation stage to the sustainability stage.
