294 - 306

Abstract

The availability of water is a basic necessity for rural populations and is a crucial part of government efforts to fulfill human basic needs. According to the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RMTDP) of Penajam Paser Utara District for the period 2005-2025, the main issue in housing and settlement development is the suboptimal performance of clean water infrastructure and sanitation. One of the main issues related to clean water is the insufficient coverage of PDAM services in the area, resulting in most villages not having access to clean water. To address this issue, the government launched the Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Program (PAMSIMAS) in 2019 with assistance from the Ministry of Public Works and Spatial Planning, targeting 10 villages. Although this program has had a positive impact in providing adequate drinking water supply, various constraints still prevent communities from fully experiencing its benefits. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the achievements of the PAMSIMAS Program in Babulu District. Using categorical analysis with interval scales, the evaluation results show that the levels of clean water service coverage and sanitation ownership in Babulu District are 31.63% and 27.13% respectively, indicating that the program has not yet reached its targets
