Dampak Pengembangan Kawasan Talumolo Rindang dan Indah (SANTORINI) di Kota Gorontalo terhadap Masyarakat Sekitarnya

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the impact of the development of SANTORINI (Talumolo Rindang dan Indah) on the physical environment, social conditions, and economic conditions of the communities surrounding the SANTORINI area. The method employed is a qualitative descriptive analysis technique, which involves comparing conditions before and after the development of SANTORINI by assigning scores to each indicator within the physical environment variable, and using percentages for the social and economic variables. This analysis takes into account the goals and targets set by the relevant institutions responsible for the implementation of the SANTORINI development. The results of the study indicate that the impact of SANTORINI on the physical environment includes a shift in the classification of slum residential areas from moderate to low, achieved through improvements in both the quality and quantity of infrastructure and facilities in the area. In terms of social conditions, the development has enhanced the community's ability to meet basic needs and facilitated the use of public infrastructure and facilities as spaces for recreation and social interaction. Economically, the development has led to the emergence of new economic activities among the local population; however, the impact has not yet been significantly substantial.
