Abstract

This study examines the government's role in slum management strategies in Batu Bara Regency through the Slum Area Social Rehabilitation Program (RSDK). The research employs a qualitative approach with secondary data analysis and interviews with beneficiaries and stakeholders. Findings show that RSDK contributes to improving quality of life through entrepreneurship training, housing repairs, and public infrastructure development. Despite challenges in stakeholder coordination and limited training scope, the program promotes community empowerment. Success is driven by active community participation and multi-stakeholder support. The study recommends enhancing coordination and expanding sustainable training to further improve living conditions in slum areas.
