Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of Surakarta residents regarding the realization of President Joko Widodo's second-term vision (2019–2024). President Widodo's administration outlined five primary objectives aimed at national development and addressing global challenges, which include accelerating infrastructure development, enhancing human resources, expanding investment opportunities for job creation, bureaucratic reform, and targeted state budget utilization. Using qualitative methods, this research gathers data from Surakarta residents, capturing their understanding of and response to these policies, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, economic disparities, social welfare programs, and healthcare services. Findings reveal a mix of appreciation for infrastructure advancements and concerns regarding economic inequality and the accessibility of government support programs. This research highlights the importance of communication in bridging the gap between policy intentions and public perception, providing insights into citizen expectations and policy impact.
