Urbanization in the dynamics of development in Makassar City has an impact on increasing population, poverty, social change, acculturation of community culture, marginalization, differences in lifestyle, socio-economic inequality, complexity of space use, slum settlements, and a decrease in environmental quality. This study aims to analyze: (1) Community participation and socio-cultural changes work as determinants of handling urban slum settlements, (2) The influence of community participation, improving the quality of infrastructure, improving the quality of the environment, and changing the socio-cultural community on the sustainability of city development, and (3) Formulate a model for handling slum settlements, community participation, and community social culture towards the sustainability of urban development. This study uses a qualitative-quantitative approach sequentially. Data were obtained through observation, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), surveys, and documentation. The results showed that community participation, improving the quality of infrastructure, improving the quality of the environment, and socio-cultural changes simultaneously affected the sustainability of Makassar City development. Furthermore, the implementation of the program to improve the quality of slums followed by community participation and accompanied by socio-cultural changes will encourage the creation of equitable development, improve the quality of slum settlements, and improve community welfare towards the creation of social cohesion, increase community productivity, and harmonization of community life towards sustainability development of Makassar City, Indonesia.
Highlights
Urbanization in the dynamics of urban development in developing countries has an impact on increasing the need for land to meet the needs for housing development and urban infrastructure
The community will critically understand the problem, the need for handling, propose solutions, and participate in program implementation (Samper, et al, 2020; Surya, et al, 2020c). This means that community participation coupled with socio–cultural changes and being responsible for program implementation will accelerate the handling of slum settlements towards improving environmental quality, reducing poverty, and achieving community homogenization and sustainable development of Makassar City
The focus of the Focus Group Discussions (FGD) implementation was used to capture the aspirations and views of the community related to six important things, namely (i) the mechanism applied in the formulation of the slum settlement planning program, (ii) program implementation, (iii) evaluation of the program implementation of the relationship with the condition of the residential environment, (iv) ) the value of the benefits obtained after the implementation of the program, (v) the contribution of the community in the implementation of the program, and (vi) the role of community institutions in the implementation of the program
Summary
Urbanization in the dynamics of urban development in developing countries has an impact on increasing the need for land to meet the needs for housing development and urban infrastructure. Community involvement in program planning and implementation, namely at the formulation, design, implementation, and post-implementation stages as a unitary development system (Sindleryova, et al, 2019) This means that the community will participate if the implementation of the development program is in accordance with the aspirations and needs of the community itself. The community will critically understand the problem, the need for handling, propose solutions, and participate in program implementation (Samper, et al, 2020; Surya, et al, 2020c). This means that community participation coupled with socio–cultural changes and being responsible for program implementation will accelerate the handling of slum settlements towards improving environmental quality, reducing poverty, and achieving community homogenization and sustainable development of Makassar City
