Evaluasi Program Bantuan Stimulan Perumahan Swadaya (BSPS) Kementerian PUPR Di Kecamatan Pakkat Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan

Abstract

BSPS (Community-Based Housing Incentive) program is the government's strategic policy for increasing the housing quality of people who have low income through self-based assistance. The objective of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the BSPS program in Pakkat Sub-district, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, using the policy of evaluation framework of William N. Dunn (2003) which includes six dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equalization, responsiveness, and accuracy. Besides that, it also analyzes the role of social capital and participative development in supporting the success of the program and identifies the supporting and the inhabiting factors in its implementation. The research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological method. The data are collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentary analysis. The result of the research shows that the BSPS program has generally fulfilled Dunn's six evaluation criteria with high effectiveness and efficiency because of the people's active involvement in all; ‘marsiadapari’ (togetherness) culture. Although the aid does not adequately fulfill ideal needs, the spirit of community self-reliance and participation are very strong. The aid is equally and responsively distributed in the local context and on target, based on direct verification. Local social capital has become the key factor of success, supported by participated development principles in the whole stages of the program. The supporting factors include high participation, field facilitator, local cultural value, and the mechanism of inclusive selection while the main obstacle lies in the limitation of the aid funds and geographical conditions. The research theoretically contributes to the development of local-based policy evaluation and practically provides strategic recommendations for the fairer, more participative and sustainable housing policy incentives in rural areas.
