Evaluasi Kebijakan Infrastruktur di Indonesia: Studi Kasus pada Pembangunan Jalan Tol di Kecamatan Mojo Kediri Tulungagung

Introduction

Evaluasi kebijakan infrastruktur di indonesia: studi kasus pada pembangunan jalan tol di kecamatan mojo kediri tulungagung. Evaluasi kebijakan pembangunan jalan tol di Indonesia (Mojo, Kediri, Tulungagung). Analisis dampak sosial, ekonomi, dan lingkungan, menyoroti manfaat dan tantangan.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the toll road development policy in Mojo, Kediri, and Tulungagung sub-districts, and analyze the social, economic, and environmental impacts caused. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The results show that toll road development has a positive impact on the local economy, especially in improving connectivity and encouraging investment in the industrial and tourism sectors. However, social impacts such as community dislocation and accessibility inequality are significant challenges. In addition, environmental impacts such as ecosystem damage and air pollution also need more attention. While this policy is effective in achieving economic objectives, post-construction toll road management and maintenance still need to be improved.

Review

This study undertakes a timely and relevant evaluation of Indonesia's infrastructure policy, specifically focusing on toll road development in the Mojo, Kediri, and Tulungagung areas. The qualitative case study approach is well-suited to exploring the multifaceted impacts of such large-scale projects. The abstract effectively highlights the positive economic contributions, such as enhanced connectivity and stimulated investment in industrial and tourism sectors, which aligns with common justifications for infrastructure expansion. A clear strength lies in its explicit acknowledgment of these positive outcomes, providing a balanced starting point for policy assessment. However, the abstract also reveals several critical areas that warrant deeper scrutiny and more robust analysis. While it effectively identifies significant negative social impacts, such as community dislocation and accessibility inequality, and environmental concerns like ecosystem damage and air pollution, the abstract does not elaborate on the specific mechanisms or extent of these impacts. It states these are "significant challenges" or "need more attention," but a more detailed exposition of the *causes* and *severity* of these issues, derived from the qualitative data, would strengthen the claims. Furthermore, the statement that the policy is "effective in achieving economic objectives" while simultaneously noting substantial social and environmental drawbacks suggests a potentially unbalanced policy framework that prioritizes economic metrics over holistic sustainability. To enhance its contribution, the paper should provide more concrete recommendations for policy adjustment beyond merely stating that "post-construction toll road management and maintenance still need to be improved." Future iterations or a more detailed policy section could propose specific strategies to mitigate community dislocation, ensure equitable accessibility, and implement robust environmental protection measures during both the construction and operational phases. A deeper dive into how the current policy framework fails to adequately address these negative externalities, and what lessons can be drawn for future infrastructure projects in Indonesia, would significantly elevate the study's impact and practical utility for policymakers.
