The Efforts Of Government To Increase Public Participation In Managing The Bengkulu City Panorama Market

Abstract

The role of the government and the role of all stakeholders is very important to help overcome the problems that occur and develop the supermarket into a people's market that is truly able to revive the economy. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efforts made by the government in increasing public participation in the management of the Panorama Market in Bengkulu City from a local governance perspective. This study uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach, which means that the data collected is not in the form of numbers but rather the data comes from interview scripts and field notes and other documents. In this study the author uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which consists of three types of analysis activities (data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions). The results of this study are that there are several government efforts that have been made to encourage community and trader participation to be involved in market management, although it is recognized that they are still not optimal, including involving the community, conducting socialization and coaching and attending discussions. In general, the community and traders in the panorama market want the discussion activities to always be attended by government elements, both executive and legislative. The presence of the government, both legislative and executive, in the implementation of discussion activities is highly expected by the community.
