The city's growth and rapid development has resulted high rates of urbanization and demand for residential area. The imbalance between the provision of areas and population growth causes problems such as the presence of slum settlements. The proliferation and expansion of slum settlements may cause a great threat to environmental damage and the preservation of its resources if it is not handled comprehensively. The realization of a decent city for human survival has also become a global commitment as stated in the SDGs and is confirmed by the existence of NUA. To overcome these problems, the Indonesian government created the Neighborhood Upgrading and Shelter Project Phase 2 (NUSP-2) Program in 2015-2018. Based on the detailed database on reducing the slum area of the NUSP- 2 Program, Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency is included in several areas that have the largest reduction in slum area. Furthermore, Kampung Nelayan Village occupies the main position of the largest slum reduction in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency. Kampung Nelayan has an attraction to study, considering its location is in a peat coastal area that has biodiversity and several ecological functions for human survival, therefore it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of handling slum settlements seen from sustainable development principles. This research uses a qualitative method with a pseudo-evaluation approach, and based on the time of implementation it is included in the ex-post evaluation. This evaluation is used to assess the effectiveness of the NUSP-2 program. The data collection method is done by triangulation, which is a technique of combining observations, interviews, and reviews from various kinds of literature, while the analysis is carried out qualitatively with an evaluation approach. The study’s result shows that the NUSP-2 Program in the study area had been effective in dealing with the problem of slum settlements. In the process, it has also applied the principles of sustainable slum management from three variables: economic, sociocultural, and institutional. Furthermore, there is sustainability in handling slum settlements after the NUSP-2 program on three environmental, economic, and socio-cultural variables. The success of this program is also supported by community empowerment and the active involvement of stakeholders, including the involvement of women’s group. The community participates in all activities fromvi planning, and construction, to maintenance. They know environmental problems and find the right solution independently according to their local knowledge. In addition, the creation of a collaboration between community institutions and local governments can also facilitate achieving the goal of realizing a better residential area.
