The devel­op­ment of slum set­tle­ments is increas­ing in Indone­sia, one of which is in Pon­tianak City where most of the slum set­tle­ments are on the banks of the Kapuas Riv­er. The san­i­ta­tion con­di­tions are poor and inad­e­quate health ser­vices.

This study aims to iden­ti­fy stake­hold­ers and their roles and clas­si­fy stake­hold­ers based on the pow­er-inter­est matrix for san­i­ta­tion man­age­ment in Pontianak’s slum set­tle­ments. Data col­lec­tion was car­ried out through Focus Group Dis­cus­sions (FGD) and ques­tion­naires to stake­hold­ers from the gov­ern­ment, pri­vate sec­tor, civ­il soci­ety, and aca­d­e­mics relat­ed to san­i­ta­tion.

This research is impor­tant for stake­hold­ers to han­dle san­i­ta­tion prob­lems in slum set­tle­ments. Stake­hold­ers relat­ed to san­i­ta­tion had var­i­ous roles and dif­fer­ent lev­els of involve­ment.

The stake­hold­er analy­sis suc­cess­ful­ly iden­ti­fied 47 stake­hold­ers involved in san­i­ta­tion man­age­ment in Pon­tianak slums, clas­si­fied as 15 sub­jects, 6 key play­ers, 17 crowds, and 10 con­text set­ters.

The exis­tence of these stake­hold­ers can influ­ence the han­dling of san­i­ta­tion in slum set­tle­ments and requires col­lab­o­ra­tion among the stake­hold­ers.
