Abstract

Social assistance distribution is a form of government empathy to help the underprivileged lead a more dignified life and aims to improve economic performance and community well-being in accordance with the mandated ones. This study aims to examine the obstacles and efforts to distribute social welfare (bansos) to the poor in the urban village of Sekeloa, Coblong Subdistrict, Bandung City. The political mechanism for distributing social assistance becomes more effective when it considers the aspects of communication, more transparent budgetary management, disposal by authority and bureaucratic structure. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a model for the distribution of social welfare (bansos) to the poor in the urban village of Sekeloa, Coblong Subdistrict, Bandung City. The research used a descriptive, qualitative method. The data includes primary data and secondary data. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document reviews. The interviews were conducted with five main informants. The collected data was analyzed and interpreted in the form of a narrative. The researcher used triangulation and member testing to validate the data. The results showed that the implementation of social welfare (bansos) distribution in Sekeloa Urban Village, Coblong Subdistrict, Bandung City was influenced by the factors of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The policy of distributing welfare to the poor had served social protection, helped the community to strengthen their lives, and provided both cash and in-kind assistance. Meanwhile, obstacles to the distribution of social assistance (bansos) were rooted in discrepancies in local data. To overcome this, a model of effective distribution of social assistance in terms of data integrity, budget, authority, and oversight was created.
