Abstract

Poverty is one of the main problems faced by developing countries, including the city of Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. Various challenges still have to be faced in efforts to improve the welfare of the population, especially among low-income communities. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of social assistance programs in reducing poverty levels in Indonesia. The high poverty rate in various regions has encouraged the government to launch various social assistance programs as a strategic step to ease the economic burden on poor and vulnerable communities. Through this program, it is hoped that the quality of life of the beneficiary community groups can gradually improve. However, in the process of implementing social assistance programs in the field, various obstacles are still encountered, one of which is the problem of inaccurate targeting, where assistance is not fully received by people who really need it, so that the effectiveness of this program is still questionable and requires improvement in various aspects of its implementation. To overcome the problems of poverty and inequality, the government launched the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), Direct Cash Assistance (BLT). This research aims to determine the influence on the implementation of these programs which can be viewed from various aspects, including social, economic, legal, governance and environmental aspects

Abstract

The prohibition of retail sales of subsidized 3-kilogram Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Indonesia represents the government’s effort to improve subsidy distribution efficiency and prevent misuse by non-eligible consumers. However, this study argues that the formulation and implementation of the policy reflect the phenomenon of bounded rationality in public decision-making. The purpose of this research is to analyze how cognitive, informational, and temporal limitations affected the design and execution of the policy, resulting in deviations from its intended objectives. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review method, this study examines secondary data from academic journals, official reports, and credible media sources to understand the dynamics of policy implementation. The findings reveal that the policy, while aiming to ensure accuracy in subsidy targeting, inadvertently restricted access for low-income households and small traders, leading to economic strain and the emergence of black markets. Weak data verification, limited public communication, and poor monitoring further exacerbated implementation challenges. Viewed through the lens of bounded rationality, policymakers acted under fiscal and political pressure, opting for “satisficing” solutions instead of optimal decisions. The study concludes that future energy subsidy reforms must integrate digital data systems, enhance beneficiary verification, and strengthen participatory oversight to minimize irrational policy outcomes and ensure equitable energy access for vulnerable communities.
