To realize this, the Government & NUSP-2 collaborated to form the KOTAKU (City Without Slums) program. Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi. This research used descriptive qualitative methods with logic analysis approaches, including data collection, reduction, display, and verification. Data collection used observation of slums that have been handled, documentation, and interviews with key informants. The results showed that the implementation of the KOTAKU program succeeded in reducing the area of slums in some priority areas of handling. The results also showed that not all aspects are sustainable applied to handling slums through the KOTAKU program.
