Bogor Regent Uses Public Survey as Basis for Development Planning
The Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto, together with regional officials, announced the results of a public evaluation survey covering one year of Bogor Regency administration at the Soekarno Hatta Auditorium on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.
During the announcement, Rudy emphasised that the survey results were not merely intended to measure public satisfaction with the Bogor Regent and Deputy Regent, but rather to serve as an evaluation tool and foundation for formulating more precisely targeted development policies.
He explained that the survey results were expected to provide a comprehensive overview of conditions across the regency’s 40 sub-districts, 416 villages, and 19 urban wards, covering aspects ranging from health and poverty rates to disaster-prone areas and cultural and tourism potential.
“This survey is not simply about assessing the Bogor Regent and Deputy Regent. We want to make it the basis for formulating programmes and budget allocation that truly stem from the needs of Bogor Regency’s communities,” Rudy stated.
He also requested that each regional agency follow up on the survey results through more specific studies aligned with their respective duties and functions. In this way, each programme designed by the administration can be precisely targeted and deliver tangible benefits to the community.
Rudy contended that development programme interventions must be based on comprehensive data and analysis. For example, in poverty alleviation efforts, the regional government must identify in detail the areas with the highest poverty rates so that programmes can genuinely reach those in need. “Programmes must not be merely administrative in nature, but must provide real solutions,” he explained.
Furthermore, he stressed the importance of alignment between development planning and the genuine needs of communities in each area. He cited infrastructure development as an example, which must adapt to local community requirements, whether these involve road improvements, bridge construction, or water channel provision.
Rudy affirmed that the level of public satisfaction with the regional administration was the result of collective effort by all regional agencies. “Public satisfaction is not merely due to the Bogor Regent and Deputy Regent, but represents the performance of all regional agencies in Bogor Regency. Government success is the result of strong synergy and collaboration,” he stressed.
He expressed hope that the survey results would serve as a foundation for strengthening development planning in 2026, including in the preparation of budget amendments, so that programmes executed truly address community needs.
“Going forward, we want to continue refining various development programmes. The Deputy Regent and I certainly cannot act alone—the success of Bogor Regency administration is the result of collective effort by all regional agencies,” he concluded.
