Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the Batapung Bargaining Policy
Implementation Program in Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan and to determine the
inhibiting factors. A qualitative approach and case study method was used in the study.
The speakers were the Regent, DPMD Head, Head, Head of Villages and members of
the community. The techniques used for collecting data were: observations, interviews
and documentation. Analysis of the data was made by using the model of Miles and
Huberman. The results showed that the implementation of the Program Policy
Batapung Tawar in Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan Province in terms of communication
was less than optimal and the involved resources, especially the human resources, were
lacking. The schedule change and public understanding about the meaning of batapung
bargaining show was that this program can increase public familiarity with SKPD and
can absorb the aspirations of the people directly. SKPD representatives explain
Batapung Freshwater Program to the communities so they know much more about it.
Inhibiting implementation factors of Tawar Batapung Program in Tanah Laut, South
Kalimantan Province were the information that was less than optimal; also the financial
support of budgeted funds were often deemed. As a consequence, distribution of
programs’ potential is still under expectations.
