Urban Drinking Water Management, Performance Indicators, Stakeholder Involvement, Policy SuccessAbstract
This study investigates the effects of performance indicators and stakeholder involvement on the success of urban drinking water management policies in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with 110 samples, data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that both performance indicators and stakeholder involvement have significant positive impacts on policy success. Stakeholder involvement exhibited a slightly stronger influence, emphasizing the importance of inclusive governance in achieving policy objectives. The model explained 62% of the variance in policy success, demonstrating its robustness and predictive relevance. These findings highlight the necessity of integrating measurable performance metrics with participatory stakeholder engagement to enhance the effectiveness of urban drinking water management policies in Indonesia.
