Implementation of Domestic Wastewater Treatment Installation Assistance Policy in Gorontalo City, Indonesia

Wastewater pollution that causes health problems with several infectious diseases, namely skin diseases, diarrhea, influenza and cholera, is increasing every year with statistical data from the city of Gorontalo. With this, the Gorontalo city government launched a program to assist in making bathrooms, toilets, and domestic wastewater management channels. Which is given to the people of the city of Gorontalo. The quality of government services in wastewater management assistance has a standard, namely that each house must have at least one access to domestic wastewater treatment and the recipients of assistance are lower middle class people, low-income people and people whose domiciles are affected by wastewater pollution. The method used by the researcher is a descriptive qualitative method using a theory developed by Daniel Mazmanin and Paul A. Sabatier called A Framework for Implementation Analysis. There are three groups of variables that influence the success of implementation, namely: (1). Characteristics of the problem (tractability of the problem). (2). Characteristics of policies/laws (ability of statute implementation). (3). Environmental Variables (nonstatutory variables affecting implementation). However, the reality on the ground is that the aid provided to the community is extensive and often not well-targeted. Many public toilet facilities that were built are unused and damaged. Furthermore, aid intended for the poor is instead received by those who are not classified as poor. Many people also lack understanding of proper wastewater management, so the program's objectives are not fully achieved. By reconstructing the theory of Daniel Mazmanin and Paul A. Sabatier, researchers get a novelty, namely the potential for implementation management or resource management. And recommend the existence of educators to provide counseling on wastewater treatment installations and the creation of Centralized Wastewater Management Channels or SPALT
