Abstract

The city of Tanjungbalai has received loans from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to overcome urban slums through the Neighborhood Upgrading and Shelter Program (NUSP-2) which is a continuation of the previous program. In NUSP-2, Tanjungbalai has a loan of USD 3.5 Million to handle approximately 45.21 ha of priority slum areas for 3 years (2015-2017). This study aims to evaluate the implementation of NUSP-2 in overcoming slums in the city of Tanjungbalai. Analytical methods for evaluating urban slums are analyzed qualitatively-descriptively using SPSS. The results of 99 questionnaires distributed to respondents, 55.6% of respondents stated that the construction of concrete roads provides a very good citizen traffic access, 44.4% stated fairly good, 2% stated neutral and 1% stated not good. Similarly, the construction of drainage channels and culverts, 39.4% of respondents stated drainage water flow to be very good, 33.3% stated fairly good, 10.1% stated neutral and 12.1% less good and 5.1% stated not good. In 2015 only about 4.47% of the slum area ae handled or about 15.76 ha. This is because only 7 (seven) villages are able to implement NUSP-2 while 8 (eight) villages are not yet ready to implement NUSP-2. By 2016, the slum area handled is about 79.53 ha or about 22.54%, slightly up from 2015 because 15 villages have implemented the NUSP-2 project. Cumulatively until 2016 only 95.29 ha of slum area is handled or about 27%.
