The Effect of the " Kampung Bahari" Sustainable Development Program on the Kampong Tambak Lorok Community Semarang

Abstract

Kampong Tambak Lorok is a place where fishers live on the north coast of Semarang City, facing the problem of tidal flooding and land subsidence. To overcome the issue at Tambak Lorok, the Semarang City Government launched an improvement program with the theme Kampung Bahari. Maritime means life related to the existence of the sea. The program is a medium-term infrastructure improvement. This study aims to determine the effect of infrastructure development through the Kampong Bahari program on the people of Tambak Lorok village. This study used as many as 20 household heads who were selected based on their length of stay in Tambak Lorok Village. The Likert analysis method was used to generate categories and indicators of influence variables based on public perception. Furthermore, the correlation analysis method determines the relationship between infrastructure development results and public perception. The analysis results show that the community strongly supports infrastructure development, especially those relating to the handling of tidal inundation. Communities directly affected by infrastructure development give a higher positive perception value. In addition, infrastructure development has changed the area's morphology to be more organized and increased opportunities for the community to increase their income and their sustainability.
