Implementation of the Slum Rejuvenation Policy in the Cipelang River Area, Sukabumi City

Slum settlements are a common occurrence, particularly in developing countries.This research was conducted to formulate a strategy for implementing policies for the rejuvenation of slum settlements in the Cipelang Area, Sukabumi City. The policy implementation model used by researchers from Edward III prioritizes four implementation factors, namely: communication, resources, attitudes and dispositions, and bureaucratic structure. This study uses a qualitative method. The data collection techniques used were interviews,observation, and documentation. The research results show that the implementation of the slum rejuvenation policy in the Cipelang River area of Sukabumi City has not been implemented optimally. According to the SWOT analysis diagram calculations, the Sukabumi City Government is in quadrant I position and can use the Strength-Opportunities Strategy (SO Strategy) to optimally utilize its competitive advantages, taking advantage of opportunities that exist in the external environment by strengthening networks with the Central Government and Provincial Government. Suggestions from this research for the Sukabumi City Government are that it must integrate the preparation of targets for handling slum areas in regional planning documents such as RPJPD, RTRW, and RPJMD, increase participatory planning and use of social capital in handling slum settlement rejuvenation, and create special regional regulations regarding handling slum areas.
