Implementation of Subsidized Fuel Policy in Gorontalo City
This study aims to determine the implementation of the subsidized fuel oil (BBM) policy in Gorontalo City. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques used interview techniques and focus group discussion (FGD). The results showed that the communication of the implementation of the subsidized fuel policy in the city of Gorontalo was well implemented. The socialization was carried out through coordination with all relevant stakeholders, the unfolding of notification banners related to the Subsidized Fuel policy at each gas station point. Resources, in order to support the implementation of the subsidized fuel policy in Gorontalo City, are not sufficient. It can be seen from the minimal number of gas stations that distribute subsidized fuel and the low volume of fuel supplied for each subsidized fuel. The attitude of the implementer/disposition towards the subsidized fuel policy in Gorontalo City is not very good. It can be seen from the attitude of the government and other stakeholders that they do not care about the distribution of subsidized fuel to non-target groups, as in this case it is given to retailers only. The bureaucratic structure does not work optimally, it can be seen from the absence of officers from either the government, Pertamina or other stakeholders at each gas station point who should be in charge of controlling and supervising the distribution of Subsidized Fuel.
