Development Communication of Kotaku Program in Completing Slums in Cilegon City

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to examine the form of development communication in the implementation of the Slum-Free City Program (KOTAKU) in Karangasem Village, Cilegon City as an effort to overcome slum areas. The approach applied is descriptive qualitative with a case study method. Data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using a participatory communication approach that includes monologue, dialogue, and multitrack communication. The results of the study indicate that development communication in the KOTAKU Program is not fully participatory. There is still a tendency for one-way communication (monologue) from program implementers to the community. Although there is a dialogue space such as a community discussion forum, community involvement from the planning process to evaluation has not been maximized. Meanwhile, the multi-track communication approach has not been implemented optimally, due to the lack of synergy between stakeholders.
