advantage of being located close to the capital city, the presence of large private
developers in South Tangerang has presented modern infrastructure, complete facilities,
and easy access to Jakarta which makes this area increasingly in demand (Wihadanto,
Cahyadi, Prima, Permana, & Pamungkas, 2024).
From data taken from the Distribution of South Tangerang City GDP ADHB
According to Business Fields in 2021-2023, economic development in South Tangerang
has shown a prominent trend with the dominance of the tertiary sector which reaches
75.82% of its economic structure, followed by the secondary and primary sectors with
proportions of 23.96% and 0.22%. In terms of contribution to Gross Regional Domestic
Product (GDP) by the business sector in 2023, the real estate and trade sectors led the
way with contributions of 17.42% and 16.70%, respectively. Meanwhile, the
construction, information and communication, educational services, and processing
industries also make a significant contribution to the economy, with a total contribution
of 44.23% (BPS Tangsel City, 2024).
In terms of regional revenue in 2020, South Tangerang City recorded revenue of
Rp 3.0 trillion. Regional Original Revenue (PAD) is the main support with a contribution
of Rp 1.53 trillion or 51.21%, followed by a balanced fund from the central government
which reaches Rp 907 billion (30.19%) and legitimate other revenues of Rp 558 billion
(18.59%). In the PAD component, regional taxes accounted for the largest portion with
Rp 1.34 trillion, or 87.42%. For the balance fund, the General Allocation Fund (DAU) is
dominant with a contribution of IDR 558.08 billion or 61.52%. All of these data confirm
the vital role of the tertiary sector and various sources of income for the economy of South
Tangerang (Rambe, 2024).
The presence of large investors and developers such as Jaya, Sinar Mas, Lippo, and
Ciputra is an undeniable fact that South Tangerang has become big because of the
intervention of the private sector. In fact, as a large amount of land in the South Tangerang
City area, currently, 70 per cent is under the management of the private sector (Radar
Banten, 2022). The development of a fairly massive residential area also has an impact
on the transfer of land use in the Tangerang City area (Danniswari, Honjo, & Furuya,
2020).
In the process of city development, the Tangerang City Government should be able
to provide optimal and adequate development for its citizens, because 70% of Tangerang
City has been built and managed by private developers, which means that the rest is built
by the Regional Government.
Media Survey Indonesia (MSI) conducted survey activities on November 10-15,
2022 in the form of face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. The survey, entitled
"Year-End Evaluation of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of South Tangerang (South
Tangerang)" involved as many as 500 respondents from seven sub-districts in South
Tangerang who were interviewed using a multistage random sampling method. The
survey results show that several Tangsel City Government programs are still below 50%
satisfaction. These include problems in overcoming congestion (34.6%), providing jobs
(39.4%), problems in overcoming floods (45.6%), and waste problems (44.6%).
