Abstract

This Research conducted by researchers currently aims to analyze and describe the impact of the policy on the development of Embung building program located in Banyumas District, Central Java province. By using methods of analysis of the impact based on Patton, Sawicki and Clark [1] by comparing the achievement of before and after comparisons, the before and after development policy program was implemented in Banyumas District. To see this, researchers use PDRB data over the prevailing and constant prices especially in agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors. The results showed that the expected impact of an Embung development in Banyumas District to be able to improve agricultural sectors at the time before and after the construction of Embung has not been optimal. Because the increase in the percentage of 2018-2019 in agriculture sector was still very small, resulting in economic growth rate decreased from the previous year. Moreover, the social welfare of the community in Banyumas District is low compared to other districts in Central Java province.
