Infrastructure development emerged as the top-performing sector with the highest satisfaction level of 92.19 per cent. This was followed by the culture sector, which scored 91.50 per cent, indicating that physical development modernisation has proceeded in harmony with the preservation of local values.

According to Yusfitiadi, this survey was more comprehensive, encompassing 16 performance indicators, priority programmes, and the effectiveness of public communications.

Yusfitiadi stated that the Susmanto-Ruhandi administration had succeeded in building a positive public perception through physical development and progressive communications. “The government must begin transitioning from merely output-based programmes towards impactful programmes. Data must become the primary basis for determining future development priorities,” he concluded.
