Description
Summary:There has been a paradigm shift in how informal settlements are viewed, shifting from being seen merely as moments for eradication due to failure and noncompliance, to being seen as opportunities for holistic urban planning and community empowerment within a democratic framework. Since 2018, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta has shown a commitment to involve and dignify communities in efforts to upgrade informal settlements through the implementation of participatory programs such as CAP (Community Action Plan), CIP (Collaborative Implementation Plan), and the designation of Kampung Prioritas. However, there has been no comprehensive study evaluating the effectiveness of these programs, both in terms of the application of participatory concepts and their tangible contributions to community life. This research aims to identify community perceptions regarding the success, satisfaction, and sustainability of participatory informal settlement upgrading programs conducted by the government in three different locations in DKI Jakarta. This identification is carried out through a qualitative approach, where primary data is acquired through observations and interviews, while secondary data is sourced from program’s final reports and relevant official websites. Findings from the study provide insights that the progress and outcomes of the programs differ across the study locations, even though they operate under the same regulatory framework. These differences are influenced by factors such as the unique challenges faced by each study location, the diversity of community characteristics, the capacity of program implementing partners, and the government's response and treatment of community needs. In the course of implementing these programs intended to prioritize participatory concepts, variations in the scope of participation and the level of community involvement also affect the achievement of program objectives in addressing the root causes of informality and the program's original goals. This complexity leads to varying community perceptions of what constitutes program success in contributing to their lives in informal settlements, as well as what is genuinely satisfying regarding their participation and the program's outcomes. Furthermore, a list of elements that are considered essential for ensuring the sustainability of informal settlement upgrading efforts once the program has concluded emerges, including internal community willingness and awareness, the legacy left by the program, and the existence of binding regulatory foundations.
