Summary

Introduction

M-Bonk (read: embong) in Javanese means road. The term is used by the Sidoarjo Regency Government to name an android-based application. The M-Bonk application is used to facilitate the people of Sidoarjo Regency in participating in sharing information about damaged road infrastructure in their surroundings. Not as familiar as the Center for Community Service and Complaints (P3M), M-Bonk has received community appreciation as a medium of participation in road construction. Since it was first launched by the Office of Public Works and Spatial Planning on January 23, 2016, the Porthole Service data shows that 87 reporters submitted information on the condition of damage to the surrounding roads.
