Analisis Perencanaan Pembangunan Partisipatif oleh Badan Perencanaan dan Pembangunan Daerah (BAPPEDA) di Kelurahan Parhorasan Nauli Kecamatan Siantar Marihat Kota Pematang Siantar

Abstract

The Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) plays a strategic role in coordinating regional development planning processes, particularly in the era of regional autonomy, which emphasizes a participatory approach. This study analyzed the participatory development planning process conducted by the Pematang Siantar City BAPPEDA in the Siantar Marihat District. The research focused on the extent to which BAPPEDA is able to involve the community, coordinate across sectors, and realize inclusive and sustainable development planning. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation with BAPPEDA officials, community leaders, Community Empowerment Institutions (LPM), and other stakeholders. The results indicate that the participatory development planning process by the Pematang Siantar City BAPPEDA has been implemented through the Development Planning Consultation (Musrenbang) mechanism involving seven sub-districts in the Siantar Marihat District. The Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) acted as a facilitator at every stage, from gathering aspirations from seven sub-districts to discussing priority programs at the Siantar Marihat sub-district level. The Musrenbang (Regional Development Planning Forum) revealed that most of the community proposals addressed in the planning forum were related to infrastructure, such as drainage construction and repair, road improvements, and public facility improvements. BAPPEDA then followed up on the agreed-upon proposals by integrating them into the Pematang Siantar City Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD), a manifestation of participatory development. However, the community is still awaiting the implementation of all submitted proposals, as some have not been accommodated due to budget constraints and program priorities.
