This study aims to analyze the budget allocation procedures for fulfilling maritime areas at the Bitung Class II Base, as well as to examine the determinant factors in the budget allocation procedures for maritime area surveillance at the Bitung Class II Base. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the budget allocation policy at the Bitung Class II Base is not optimal because there is still a gap between operational needs and available budget capabilities. The fulfillment of patrol fleet facilities and infrastructure is in an available condition but is not ideal, both in terms of fleet readiness, technical support, logistics, and maintenance facilities. The implementation of the budget allocation policy has direct implications for the effectiveness of maritime area surveillance, especially on patrol intensity, surveillance area coverage, and fleet operational readiness. Factors that influence policy implementation include communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure, with resources and bureaucratic structure as the dominant factors.
