Description
Summary:In areas that have not been 100% flowed by government piped water sources, residents must look for other water sources leastwise flow in time whenever people need water. A similar situation occurred in the study area, Kemijen and Tambak Lorok, two low income kampung in the coastal area of Semarang City that located adjacently. About 90% of households in Kemijen use government piped water sources, while nearly 100% of Tambak Lorok use ground water piped provided by neighborhood private sector. However, the Kemijen community does not necessarily get proper access because the government piped water could not flow the water all of the time, while private groundwater in Tambak Lorok can do. This study explores the gap of water provision in Kemijen and Tambak Lorok, as the provision of groundwater service is not a sustainable method so it should be replaced by the government provision in the future. In that context, the gap could be seen as the challenge for the government provision in improving their quality of service in the future. The study uses is a combination of qualitative and quantitative method and descriptively analysis in comparing the water provision system in the two kampung.
