Drinking water is a right of every citizen to support their activities and needs. The drinking water infrastructure with piped water supply system (SPAM-JP) provided by the government should be the solution to these challenges, but the existing service infrastructure is still not optimal. The existing service level for the Metropolitan Bandung Raya area needs to be improved considering it has only reached 23%. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the level of service of piped drinking water with SPAM-JP to meet the national target in 2024, either through an effective and efficient government strategy or policy. To support the government in designing such policies or strategies, a study is needed to identify the issues and priorities of the areas that cause the low level of piped drinking water service in the Metropolitan Bandung Raya area. This study aims to identify the priority areas for the development of piped drinking water supply system based on factors that affect the level of piped drinking water service in the Metropolitan Bandung Raya area. The method chosen is to use descriptive statistical analysis to describe the piped drinking water supply condition, spatial autocorrelation analysis to understand the pattern and trend of drinking water service in geographic data and to help make decisions and predict spatial behavior, OLS regression analysis to determine the influence of factors on drinking water service, and quadrant analysis to determine the priority locations for improving drinking water service. From the analysis, it is found that the factors that most influence the improvement of piped drinking water service in Metropolitan Bandung Raya are per capita GRDP; installed capacity; poverty rate; and population density. This study resulted in priority areas for improving service level based on influential factors. These priority areas are divided into three priorities, namely priorities I-III with characteristics based on variables that can be intervened, namely installed capacity, poverty rate, and per capita GRDP in the first priority district group, installed capacity and population density in the second priority district group, and population density in the third priority district group. The conclusion of this study is that by knowing the priority districts, the government and public drinking water service providers can determine the priority of handling and focus their efforts on the districts that need it most. This ensures that every available fund and resource is used to improve piped drinking water service in the most needed districts, so that the communities in the most affected districts can be helped. The recommendation from this study is strategies and policies based on interventions in these variables.
