The City Without Slums Program (KOTAKU) is a government program that aims to overcome poverty and create livable cities for Indonesian people, one of which is in Karo Regency. However, in reality there are still waste problems in Karo Regency and poor drainage indicating that KOTAKU has not been properly realized. This study aims to describe and examine the evaluation realization of the KOTAKU program in dealing with slum areas in Karo District.The research method used in this research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, documentation, and literature techniques. The data were analyzed qualitatively with Dunn's evaluation indicators which included effectiveness, efficiency, averaging, responsiveness, adequacy, and accuracy. The results of the research show that the implementation of KOTAKU in Karo Regency is in accordance with the predetermined plan so that it meets the indicators of effectiveness. With optimal utilization of resources, it can produce outputs and outcomes that make KOTAKU successful. The KOTAKU program has met the adequacy indicator where KOTAKU is able to be a solution to the slum problem in Karo Regency with a target achievement of 90%. The KOTAKU program has fulfilled the right goals and targets so that people get access to better infrastructure and housing. The Karo Regency Government is able to respond responsively to slum problems in Karo Regency and help the community to change habits to be more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, the focus of the KOTAKU program is in the Kabanjahe and Berastagi areas.
