Tata Kelola Sumber Daya Air di PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional 1 Medan

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how water resources governance at PTPN IV Regional 1 Medan is carried out using the Dynamic Governance concept developed by Neo & Chen (2007). This concept emphasizes three main capabilities, namely thinking ahead, thinking again, and thinking across. The method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with key informants, field observations, and documentation studies. The results show that water governance at PTPN IV Regional 1 has implemented the principle of thinking ahead through long-term strategic planning, such as the construction of reservoirs and the formulation of SOPs for water use. The principle of thinking again is applied through routine evaluations of water quality and waste management, although it is reactive to technical problems that arise. The application of thinking across is seen in internal coordination across units, but external collaboration with external parties such as research institutions and the government is still limited. The conclusion of this study is that water resource governance at PTPN IV Regional 1 Medan has implemented the concept of Dynamic Governance, but it is not yet optimal. The company needs to strengthen external collaboration and improve results-based policy evaluation
