The Sustainable Development Goals Model in Bandung Regency

Abstract

The main issues faced by the local government in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Model in Bandung Regency include the lack of understanding among regional apparatus regarding the global development agenda, the absence of integration and synchronization between sectoral development agendas and development agendas, the incomplete formulation of the Regional Action Plan (RAD) at the regency level as a basis for the provincial RAD, the presence of SDG indicators that are uncommon for measuring development achievements at the regional level, the limited and unintegrated data availability to fulfill SDG indicator targets, and the absence of a formal regulatory framework to guide SDG achievements. Therefore, this research focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals model in Bandung Regency. The research approach used is qualitative, through a case study method. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique employed is descriptive analysis, describing and interpreting each aspect studied. The informants in this research include the Head of the Bappelitbangda Division, Junior Functional Officers, and the General and Personnel Subdivision Head. The research results indicate that the social development pillar in 2020 showed fairly good achievements. The same results were observed in the economic pillar, with achievements showing fairly good outcomes. Additionally, the achievement of clean and affordable energy goals has been realized through the electrification ratio, while household gas usage still requires attention. The study also found that the environmental pillar, from the 4 goals that constitute the environmental development pillar, achieved fairly good results. Meanwhile, in the law and institutional governance pillar, there is one goal—peace, justice, and strong institutions—that has yet to be achieved.
