Penerapan Model Collaborative Governance dalam Upaya Keselamatan Berlalu Lintas di Kota Medan (Studi Kasus: Jalan Ringroad dan Jalan Kapten Sumarsono di Kota Medan)

Abstract

Several factors causing people in Medan City to not want to participate in traffic safety can be seen from Medan City residents (Case study: Jl. Ringroad and Jl. Kapten Sumarsono) who consider that they do not really care about traffic safety, especially in terms of using helmets or seat belts. In addition, the lack of consistent law enforcement and poor traffic infrastructure are also the main factors causing low community participation in traffic safety. This study aims to analyze Collaborative Governance in improving traffic safety in Medan City (Case study: Jl. Ringroad and Jl. Kapten Sumarsono). This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Data and information on the collaboration process and the relationship between government agencies, the private sector, and the community were collected directly from each of the Medan City government agencies involved. The data obtained were analyzed using the collaboration process variables (face-to-face dialogue, building trust, commitment in the process, shared understanding, and interim results) proposed by Ansell and Gash (2008). The informants in this study consisted of the Head of Sub-unit 1 Kamsel Sat Lantas Polrestabes Medan, the Head of the Traffic Engineering Management Section of the Medan City Transportation Agency, the Mobile Service Staff of PT. Jasa Raharja Medan Representative, the private sector, and the community. The results of the study show that Collaborative Governance begins with a face-to-face dialogue involving various stakeholders, such as the Medan Police Traffic Unit, the Medan City Transportation Agency, and PT. Jasa Raharja Medan Representative. The dialogue is carried out through formal and informal coordination meetings, as well as discussion forums that discuss traffic safety strategies. Trust between stakeholders is built through transparency in the implementation of tasks and routine collaboration, such as safety education activities for the community and the use of technology, such as the Polri Super APP application. Joint commitment is evident from the implementation of tasks in accordance with the authority of each party, which is supported by coordination in the traffic communication forum. Interim results of the collaboration include the implementation of education programs, such as Police Go to School and Police Go to Campus, which have succeeded in increasing awareness of traffic safety among students. In addition, there are improvements to traffic facilities, such as road signs and infrastructure, to support smooth traffic. The main obstacles in this collaboration include differences in priorities between agencies and lack of community participation. However, the collaboration has had a positive impact, especially in increasing public compliance with traffic regulations.
