Implementation of Facilities and Infrastructure Management at SDN 100720 Sihopuk Baru Village

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to describe the implementation of facilities and infrastructure management at SDN 100720, located in Sihopuk Baru Village. It employs a qualitative approach using a field study method, in which data were collected through in-depth interviews with the school principal, direct observation of the school’s physical condition, and an analysis of supporting documents. The research findings reveal that the management of facilities and infrastructure at the school still faces various challenges. Some of the issues identified include limited classroom space that affects the teaching and learning process, inadequate library facilities that are merged with the principal’s office, the absence of a dedicated room for the School Health Unit (UKS), and a lack of sufficient learning media to support the educational process. The management process from planning, procurement, distribution, utilization, maintenance, to disposal has not been carried out optimally. This is further complicated by the absence of dedicated personnel to handle facility management, leading to unstructured and less effective implementation. Based on the research results, it is recommended that the school, in collaboration with policymakers, conduct a comprehensive evaluation and develop a strategy for improving facility management. A shared commitment is needed to enhance the quality of the learning environment in order to support the achievement of educational goals. This study emphasizes the importance of strategic, effective, and sustainable management of school facilities and infrastructure, particularly in rural schools that face limitations in educational infrastructure.
