Abstract

Civil society organizations serve as government partners in supporting development and community empowerment. However, the implementation of oversight in Pandeglang Regency still faces various obstacles, such as irregular administrative reporting, failure to report changes in organizational leadership and secretariats, and suboptimal supervision by the National Unity and Politics Agency (Kesbangpol). This study aims to analyze the role of Kesbangpol in the oversight of civil society organizations and to identify the factors supporting and hindering its implementation. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The research utilizes role theory as proposed by Biddle and Thomas (cited in Sarwono, 2015) and supervision theory by Situmorang (1994). The results indicate that the Pandeglang Regency Kesbangpol has conducted oversight through outreach (socialization), guidance, administrative checks, document verification, monitoring, evaluation, and coordination with relevant agencies. However, implementation remains suboptimal because some civil society organizations have not fulfilled administrative obligations, failed to report changes in leadership and secretariats, and have not all received direct guidance. Supporting factors include a clear legal basis, inter-agency coordination, the provision of guidance, and the commitment of agency personnel. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited human resources and budget, the vastness of the territory, the large number of civil society organizations, and low levels of compliance and administrative literacy. Therefore, strengthening guidance, coordination, outreach, and human resource capacity is essential to ensure more effective oversight of civil society organizations. Keywords: Role, Oversight, Civil Society Organizations, National Unity and Politics Agency.

Abstract

Abstract The Disaster-Resilient Village program is a government initiative implemented at the village or urban village level—by the central and/or regional governments—as part of efforts to carry out community-based disaster risk reduction, in accordance with the Regulation of the Head of the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) Number 1 of 2012. A Disaster-Resilient Village is defined as a village or urban village possessing the independent capacity to adapt to potential disaster threats and to recover quickly from the adverse impacts of disasters. Data collection techniques employed included observation, interviews, and documentation review. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was verified through source triangulation and qualitative methods. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the Disaster-Resilient Village program—specifically regarding the safeguarding of residents' assets—has generally proceeded well, although certain indicators were not effectively implemented. These include structural (physical) mitigation measures, economic resilience strategies to reduce community vulnerability, and the protection of key community assets; generally, these three aspects have not functioned effectively within the disaster management framework. Issues include unrepaired embankments, infrequent river normalization (leading to poor maintenance), and damaged roads submerged by floods, which hinder residents' livelihoods. Several factors pose challenges to the program's implementation and the pursuit of alternative disaster management strategies. In light of these challenges, the researcher offers recommendations for alternative flood management measures. Keywords: Disaster-Resilient Village Program (Destana), Protection of Community Assets
