Economic Empowerment and Collaboration of Urban Slum Arrangement: Review the Kotaku Program in Kendari City

Abstract

Purpose: Evaluating the slum handling program, slum typology, and factors that are challenges (gaps) for socio-economic empowerment in participatory handling of slums. Theoretical framework: Focus on several theories and concepts about slum settlements, criteria for slum houses, typologies, and empowerment. The subject matter is built from the results of research gaps, phenomena, and empiricism so as to give rise to research positions and novelty. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a qualitative approach. Involved 38 key informants, and 53,066 households observed in determining the typology (non-informants). Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and FGD. Data credibility with data source triangulation techniques. Findings: Finding a gap between program objectives and the decline in slum settlements, where the implementation program is running well but the area of slum settlements has actually increased. The majority of settlements (typology) are in the category of "heavy slums and light slums". There are five targets for program empowerment, only one namely collaboration is considered good, while others (institutional aspects, human resources, business development, and environmental development) are not good. Research, Practical & Social implications: Reviewing the criteria for poor households, and techniques for determining areas (slums). Next is the Central Government through the relevant ministries to review the database of budget allocations and other processes for determining the amount of funding allocations so as to avoid data manipulation to obtain additional allocations of funds to the regions. Originality/value: Disclosure is factual with a qualitative approach to participation.

Theoretical Construction of Slum Settlement Area Arrangement as an Alternative Tourist Destination in Urban Areas

“…In current conditions, negative impacts on people's lives (such as fires and crime) are often caused by a combination of several factors [21]. A slum settlement is also referred to as an area that consists of a form of housing that is unstructured and does not have a pattern (irregular location of houses and roads, lack of general facilities and infrastructure), and has an unsuitable physical form [1].…”

“…For example [59,4,3,34,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68]28,69,70]. The latest comes from the study of [71,26,72,27,73,24,74,1]. The nine topics in question are shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Slum settlements have become a hot global issue in developed and developing countries. The trigger is urbanization which causes an increase in population so that cities become increasingly dense (overpopulation), an increase in poor people (low income) which in the end (the poor) form slum settlements [1][2][3][4]. Slum settlements in urban areas have far-reaching consequences, making them a challenge for society and the government to meeting the needs for housing, infrastructure, transportation, and other socioeconomic activities [5][6][7].…”

“…This agenda is then strengthened by the framework of sustainable development goals to improve the community's quality of life, including through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs are the United Nation's agenda to improve the lives of all human beings in the world, becoming a trigger for several countries including Indonesia [9,1].…”
