Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pembangunan Jalan Layang di Kelurahan Karang Jaya Kecamatan Gandus Kota Palembang

Abstract

This study aims to analyze community participation in the construction of the flyover in Karang Jaya Village, Gandus District, Palembang City based on Cohen and Uphoff's theory of community participation and Grigg's infrastructure development theory. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, as supporting data. The results of the study show that community participation in the flyover construction has gone quite well at the stages of decision making, implementation, benefit utilization, and evaluation. According to Grigg's theory, the construction of the overpass has also met the aspects of infrastructure availability, accessibility, and infrastructure sustainability. The presence of the overpass makes access easier, facilitates mobility, supports the community's economic activities, and provides sustainable benefits. Additionally, the community plays a role in maintaining cleanliness, security, and the usability of the overpass so it continues to function well. The weakness of this study is the limited scope, both in terms of informants and for research, suggesting that expanding the scope with more informants from various community and government elements would be beneficial.
