Local Government Policy and Community Participation toward Urban Slums in Makassar City Indonesia

摘要

Slum settlement is a problem faced by almost all major cities in Indonesia including Makassar city and even large cities in other developing countries. This study aimed to analyze the policy factors of local institutions and community participation in the growth of urban slums. Data were collected from respondents in Panakukang and Mariso Sub-Districts, Makassar City by survey method. Data were analyzed by adopting Structural Equational Modeling-PLS Ver 3.2.7. The results of the analysis obtained were as follows, first, local institutional policies on the causes of urban slums have a coefficient with a positive direction. The calculation results showed that the path coefficient is 0.149 with a t-statistic of 1.778 (p> 0.05) giving a decision that institutional policy has no significant effect on the causes of urban slums. Second, community participation in urban slum causes has a coefficient with a positive direction. The calculation results showed that the path coefficient is 0.450 with a t-statistic of 6.093 (p <0.05) giving a decision that public participation has a significant effect on the causes of urban slums. High community participation will increase efforts to resolve the problem of urban slums.
