Optimization of Regional Asset Management in Depok City: A Policy Strategy Review

The performance of local governments is influenced by the implementation of Good Governance principles, particularly in the management of Regional Government Assets (Barang Milik Daerah or BMD). Although the Depok City Government has obtained an Unqualified Opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian, WTP) for twelve consecutive years, issues in asset management remain, such as limited human resources, inaccurate recording, and weak inventory practices. This study applies a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytic approach. Primary data were collected through interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), while secondary data were obtained from literature reviews and reports. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, and the analysis was conducted using SWOT and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The findings reveal 17 strategic factors influencing BMD management. The priority strategy most feasible for implementation is conducting regular BMD inventories, with a score of 6.093, emphasizing that regular inventory serves as the key to enhancing transparency, accountability, and the optimization of asset management in Depok City.
