Is There Any Collaborative Governance on Post-disaster Social Policy in Banten Province?

Social policies include increased social protection, approaches to improving
living standards, and access to decent work. The description discusses two concepts,
namely collaborative governance and the concept of social policy. Methodologically
and technically, the two concepts are side by side in the context of implementing
decentralization policies. Collaborative governance as collaboration is a relationship
designed to solve a problem through the creation of solutions in conditions that are full
of limitations (Ansell & Gash, 2007). At the same time, the social policy responds to
social problems, which tends to ignore the assessment of some people that they are not
in a socially problematic condition (Spicker, 2014). social policy has many forms, such
as health, education, housing, and other social services. The method uses a descriptive
qualitative and qualitative verification analysis strategy model. Post-disaster handling,
collaborative governance is applied through the government’s efforts to carry out
recovery that focuses on the residential, economic, infrastructure, social and crosssectoral sectors. The results also show obstacles in collaborative governance, such as
delays in building houses for the community, mismatch of specifications between what
was promised and what was received by the community, and low public understanding.
This study also shows that post-disaster management collaborative governance can
be implemented using several strategies divided by sector and sub-sector; the right
communication pattern increases community involvement in the entire post-disaster
management process in Banten province. All strategies would be better if packaged
in the form of government innovation. This means that post-disaster management,
especially in repair and development efforts, is an important agenda for government
collaboration.
