Implementation of the 2018 Post-Disaster Housing and Settlement Reconstruction Rehabilitation Plan Policy in Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province (Institutional Structure Perspective)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the 2018 post-disaster housing rehabilitation and reconstruction policy in Palu City, Central Sulawesi, using an institutional structure approach. Qualitative method with case studies using observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and documentation. The results showed that policy implementation was ineffective with challenges of uneven distribution of benefits, lack of long-term planning, lack of coordination between institutions, and differences in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The importance of increasing the involvement of communities, local governments, and policy implementers is the main focus. Recognition of the role of culture in decision-making and policy acceptance plays an important role in addressing the challenges and complexities of implementation.
