Abstract:
The government failure in providing public development services and the local government budget limitation are the core consideration for government to choose the development pattern that involve public participation. The Local Governernent of Seamarang are facing this kind of problem also in preventing flood, for this purpose the government try to apply the pilot project of polder in Banger Selatan area that require public participation. The public involvement will be emphasized on the financial of operational and maintenance cost of polder which is be used to be the most critical weakness of government. The public involvement in this sector will guarantee the sustainability of polder services and raise the public empowerment in Banger Selatan. A design for sustainability financial and cost of polder are made based on participative and equity principle. Participative principles are reflected in the pattern of financial and cost of polder that involve the whole stakeholders in polder area society, bussiness sectors and government. The pattern placed the government as the
key role which would dominantly take responsibilities of operational and maintenance costing the early phase and gradually this portion would be reduced as financial cost for operational and maintenance would go the society and bussiness sectors. Tariff
formulation is made to guarantee that the financial and cost systemis based on equity principle based on public ability to pay and run off contribution. The financial and cost design is also planned to be supported by the retribution collection method
involving the society in polder authority. In this financial and administration study we found that public participation
are varied and the lack of ability of human resources as implementation agent in the polder authority would be some disadvantage for the succesful financial and cost
design implementation.
