SUITABILITY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY TO SPATIAL POVERTY BASED ON THE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD APPROACH IN LABUAN BAJO, WEST MANGGARAI DISTRICT

Abstract

Inequality in the implementation of strategies and policies will impact many sectors. One of the factors affected is the spatial accessibility of essential community infrastructure. The fulfillment of basic community infrastructure affects the community's ability to create a decent life. The method used to achieve the objectives of this research uses deductive analysis using the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) and spatial data from GIS software. Through the SLA approach, this research aims to identify infrastructure development policies and see their relevance to poverty conditions in the West Manggarai Regency. SLA can be used to determine policies for handling poverty in the West Manggarai Regency. The result is that policies in infrastructure development do not have a significant impact on poverty conditions. Apart from that, the policies implemented in West Manggarai Regency have not met the SLA indicators. The spatial analysis results show that the distribution of infrastructure development does not look at the distribution of poverty and there is no integration between infrastructures.
