COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE IN PROVIDING DRINKING WATER NEEDS IN GENENGMULYO VILLAGE, JUWANA DISTRICT, PATI REGENCY

Abstract

The complexity of the problem of providing drinking water in Genengmulyo Village cannot be overcome by one party alone, so there is a need for collaboration with various agencies. The research was carried out because collaboration in providing drinking water still encountered problems. The research aims to identify the collaborative process and its inhibiting factors in providing drinking water in Genengmulyo Village, Juwana District, Pati Regency. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation with a focus on collaborative theory by Ansell and Gash and the theory of inhibiting factors by the Government of Canada. Research shows that face-to-face communication does not have the intensity of regular meetings with all actors. Building trust still has unclear limits on authority. Compliance with the process is hampered by the absence of specific regulations governing the implementation of collaboration in providing drinking water needs. A common understanding was found that the determination of collaboration members did not have a clear institutional structure. The interim results of the collaborative are easy access to decent drinking water in Genengmulyo Village and the achievement of access to drinking water services in Pati Regency which increases every year. From the research results, it can be seen that the obstacles at each stage are caused by cultural factors due to dependence on SPAM implementation regulations, institutional factors because they depend on the institutional structure of one of the actors, and political factors because leaders have not been able to overcome collaboration problems so that the researchers provide suggestions, namely the need to improve the collaboration process. starting by holding regular meetings with all actors to overcome obstacles in the next stage.
