QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM POLICY VILLAGE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT IN FISHERMAN'S VILLAGE, SUNGAI KAKAP DISTRICT, DISTRICT KUBU RAYA

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of program policies implemented to improve the environmental quality of village settlements in Nelayan Village, Sungai Kakap District, Kubu Raya Regency. The program encompasses several key initiatives such as the development of basic infrastructure, waste management, and reforestation efforts aimed at enhancing both environmental conditions and the welfare of fishing communities. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the program has contributed positively to improving the community’s quality of life, notably in terms of environmental cleanliness, access to clean water, and availability of public facilities. Nonetheless, the study identifies several challenges, including limited community participation and insufficient funding. The study concludes that while the program has demonstrated beneficial outcomes, its long-term success requires stronger coordination among stakeholders and increased community engagement. Practical implications of this research emphasize the importance of participatory approaches and integrated planning to ensure the sustainability of environmental improvement programs in rural coastal areas.
