Abstract

The implementation of decentralization should have a positive impact on regional progress. Since its implementation in 2001, decentralization in Indonesia has become deeper and wider. Using the slum settlement policy as a study approach, this study will examine the impact of decentralization and how persistent these impacts are. The estimation results using RD-DiD shows that the implementation of decentralization has a negative correlation with the arrangement of slums in the Jabodetabek area. The area of slums is 45% greater than the year before decentralization or a non-decentralized area. Thus, in the aspect of structuring the slums, it can be concluded that decentralization does not work effectively and even tends to make things worse.

Bahasa Abstract

Penerapan desentralisasi seharusnya memberikan dampak yang positif pada kemajuan daerah. Sejak penerapannya tahun 2001, desentralisasi di Indonesia semakin dalam dan luas diterapkan. Menggunakan kebijakan penataan permukiman kumuh sebagai pendekatan studi akan dilihat dampak dari desentralisasi dan seberapa persisten dampak tersebut hadir. Hasil estimasi dengan menggunakan RD-DiD menunjukkan bahwa penerapan desentralisasi berkorelasi negatif dengan penataan permukiman kumuh di kawasan Jabodetabek. Luas permukiman kumuh lebih besar 45% dibandingkan dengan tahun sebelum desentralisasi atau daerah yang tidak terdesentralisasi. Dengan demikian dalam aspek penataan permukiman kumuh desentralisasi dapat dikatakan tidak berjalan efektif bahkan cenderung membuat keadaan lebih buruk.
