ABSTRACT
North Sumatera still has several Slum Cities; one of them is Tanjungbalai, which is located in the coastal area. Tanjungbalai is considered to be one of the slums because this area has a high population density and mostly inhabited by poor people. Another reason is that Tanjungbalai has an unhealthy environment and unsupported by city services such as clean water, sanitation, drainage, roads, emergency access roads, and landfills. Not only those, Tanjungbalai also lacks access to education, health, public facilities, and other social facilities. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the societies’ economic and social conditions in terms of predictors: road conditions, drainage, sanitation, and clean water. The type of this research is quantitative and uses Path Analysis technique with SPSS. The results of this study are the condition of roads and drainage does not have a significant influence on the societies’ social and economics, either directly or indirectly. On the other hand, sanitation and clean water infrastructure give a significant effect on the economy and social community both directly and indirectly.
