Abstract

This study analyzed the implementation of the Self-Help Housing Assistance (SHA) program in achieving rural spatial planning in Subulussalam Utara Village, Simpang Kiri District, Subulussalam City, Aceh Province. The program involved multiple organizations and actors, each with specific tasks and functions. The research identified both supportive and inhibiting factors influencing the implementation of the SHA program. Supportive factors included effective communication among program implementers and cooperation among stakeholders. On the other hand, inhibiting factors included human resource limitations and the need for accurate targeting of beneficiaries. Overall, the program was found to be on track, but improvements are recommended, such as enhancing coordination and cooperation among relevant stakeholders. This can be achieved through persuasive approaches and continuous guidance from the Subulussalam City Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (Dinas PUPR).
