Abstract

This study aims to analyze local government governance in disaster risk mitigation in Tanjungpinang City based on the principles of Good Governance, namely accountability, transparency, participation, rule of law, responsiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants consisted of representatives from the Tanjungpinang City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Fire and Rescue Service, Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), and communities living in disaster-prone areas. The findings indicate that local government has implemented Good Governance principles through disaster socialization, community education, early-warning dissemination, interagency coordination, community volunteer development, and personnel preparedness. However, mitigation implementation remains suboptimal due to limited budgets, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, uneven program coverage, insufficient coordination among local government agencies, and the absence of an integrated Drainage Master Plan. These findings indicate that effective disaster governance requires stronger institutional coordination, adequate resource allocation, integrated infrastructure planning, and sustained community participation. Strengthening these dimensions is expected to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of disaster risk mitigation in Tanjungpinang City.
