Abstract


This study aims to analyze the implementation of infrastructure development programs in flood management in Medan City. The city is often flooded due to high rainfall and inadequate drainage system. The Medan City Government has built various infrastructure projects such as the construction of drainage channels, river normalization, retention ponds, and road improvements. The research methods used include in-depth interviews, field observations, and secondary data analysis from relevant agencies. The results show that the infrastructure development program has successfully reduced the frequency and intensity of flooding, as well as improved the quality of life of the community through increased mobility and environmental safety. However, implementation challenges such as limited funding, lack of inter-agency coordination and low community participation remain significant obstacles. This study recommends the need for a collaborative strategy involving various stakeholders to overcome these challenges and ensure the sustainability of the infrastructure development program. With a comprehensive approach, it is expected that Medan City can more effectively manage flood risks and improve the quality of life of its citizens in a sustainable manner.
