Identification of Synchronization of The RPJMD and Smart City Master Plan in Indonesia

Abstract

The implementation of the smart city concept in Indonesia has become a necessity and is no longer an option, but a necessity. Indeed, the complexity of the problems facing the government is very high and requires smart solutions. As a form of supporting local governments in Indonesia in developing smart city master plans, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics of the Republic of Indonesia in 2017 launched the "Movement Towards 100 Smart Cities" program. During the implementation of the program, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics has compiled a guidebook that was used by local governments. However, the guidebook is considered unable to accommodate all the needs of local governments to develop smart city master plans. This research aims to identify the synchronization between RPJMD and smart city master plans in Indonesia by using literature analysis and document analysis methods that aim to facilitate local governments in preparing smart city master plans. The analysis results show a link between the RPJMD document and the smart city master plan based on the mapping carried out on the RPJMD document which has previously been prepared as a regional development planning document.
