jailcd2021009: Determinant factors succeeding domestic water provision: Lessons learned from various implemented improvement strategies

Abstract

Like other countries all over the world, Indonesia is also struggling to provide reliable public water service. Meanwhile, various strategies have been conducted to improve domestic water provision through diverse approaches. This study aims to obtain insights from those applied strategies by elaborating key factors that determine the success of the implementation through a structured literature review. To select the case study areas, countries' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is firstly set as a reference. This is because GDP, especially at Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), indicates the cost of living that can be paid by the citizen and domestic water provision cannot be simply divorced from this issue. Besides, the climatic characteristics of the country are also considered in the selection of the case study areas. Secondly, literature related to the improvement strategies on the domestic water provision from the selected countries, which have no significant difference in PPP with Indonesia, are reviewed. Then, determinant factors of those implemented strategies are investigated. Lastly, identified key factors are listed and examined whether they fit the context of Indonesia. Therefore, the lessons can be taken to improve the current domestic water sector in Indonesia.
