Mewujudkan Otonomi Daerah yang Berkualitas: Peran Kemantapan Infrastruktur Dasar dalam Mendukung Pembangunan Sosial dan Pengembangan Wilayah Mandiri di Kabupaten Gunung Mas Realizing Quality Regional Autonomy: The Role of Stable Basic Infrastructure in Supporting Social Development and the Development of Independent Regions in Gunung Mas Regency
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gunung Mas Regency, located in Central Kalimantan Province, faces significant challenges in realizing quality regional autonomy, particularly related to the stability of basic infrastructure. Despite ongoing efforts to improve, limitations in access to essential infrastructure such as roads, clean water, and health facilities hinder social development and the creation of independent regions. This study aims to explore the role of basic infrastructure in supporting social development and the creation of self-sustaining regions in Gunung Mas Regency. The methodology used is a case study with a qualitative approach, involving interviews with relevant stakeholders and secondary data analysis. The findings show that inadequate infrastructure impedes the improvement of the community’s quality of life and increases dependence on external aid. Improving infrastructure integrated with local community empowerment is key to accelerating regional development. In conclusion, achieving quality regional autonomy requires policies that focus on equitable infrastructure development and community empowerment to support the creation of self-sustaining and sustainable regions.
