INTISARI: Perkembangan
Provinsi Irian Jaya yang penuh dinamika, antara lain diwarnai
oleh keinginan sebagian warganya untuk memerdekan diri, mendorong
pemerintah pusat pada tahun 1999 memenuhi aspirasi masyarakat Irian Jaya
untuk memekarkan Irian Jaya menjadi beberapa provinsi, di antaranya
penetapan Manokwari sebagai ibukota Provinsi Irian Jaya Barat. Masalah
penelitian ini adalah bagaimana dampak kebijakan penetapan Manokwari
sebagai ibukota Provinsi Irian Jaya Barat terhadap pergeseran struktur
sosial, politik, dan ekonomi di Kabupaten Manokwari? Adapun tujuan dari
penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dampak kebijakan penetapan
Manokwari sebagai ibukota Provinsi Irian Jaya Barat terhadap pergeseran
struktur sosial, politik, dan ekonomi di Kabupaten Manokwari.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan
kualitatif.
Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah warga masyarakat (50 orang),
kalangan pemerintahan (4 orang), kalangan DPRD (4 orang), LSM (1 orang),
dan akademisi kampus (1 orang).
Teknik pengumpulan data adalah melalui kuesioner (angket), wawancara,
dan
dokumentasi. Pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen (alat) penelitian
berupa
kuesioner tertutup, pedoman wawancara, dan ceklis dokumentasi (termasuk
dianalisis).
Analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis data kualitatif
dengan cara editing,
coding, dan analisis data.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan penetapan Manokwari
sebagai
ibukota Provinsi Irian Jaya Barat belum begitu signifikan memberikan
dampak positif
berupa peningkatan atau kemajuan struktur sosial, politik, dan ekonomi
di Kabupaten
Manokwari. Hal ini diidikasikan dari: (1) ada beberapa hal pada semua
indikator struktur sosial yang belum menunjukkan peningkatan/kemajuan,
seperti: SD makin menurun/buruk, Puskesmas tetap/tidak maju,
lembaga-lembaga sosial tetap kurang berfungsi, makin memburuknya etika
sosial/perilaku, kaidah-kaidah sosial masyarakat terkikis, anarkhis
(pemabuk), keamanan terganggu, banyak kriminal, pembangunan tidak
merata, kesejahteraan masyarakat tidak terjadi, tetap primordialisme
(sentimen etnis), makin tinggi gap lapisan atas dan lapisan bawah
(tinggi), perlakuan eksklusif lapisan atas, mengutamakan keluarga
pejabat, dan lapisan bawah terkucilkan; (2) masih ada satu hal pada
salah satu indikator struktur politik, yaitu LSM sebagai salah satu
kelompok penekan yang tetap menjadi free rider (penumpang gelap),
bertujuan ekonomi, dan berideologi proyek; dan (3) ada beberapa hal pada
beberapa indikator struktur ekonomi yang belum menunjukkan
peningkatan/kemajuan, seperti: perdagangan dikuasi oleh masyarakat
pendatang, pribumi bekerja di sektor pertanian dan perkebunan, faktor
keamanan, potensi daerah, dan kemudahan berusaha, serta makin
menurun/buruknya perusahaan dagang skala kecil, menengah, dan besar,
jalan kabupaten, jalan provinsi, dan jalan negara umumnya
buruk/rusak, daerah tetap bergantung pada transfer dana dari pusat, dan
yang makin
menurun/buruknya PAD.
Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah belum terjadi dampak positif berupa
peningkatan atau kemajuan struktur sosial, politik, dan ekonomi di
Kabupaten Manokwari yang begitu signifikan setelah penetapan Manokwari
sebagai ibukota Provinsi Irian Jaya Barat.
Saran yang diajukan antara lain: perlu adanya kepedulian pemerintah
Provinsi
Irian Jaya Barat terhadap peningkatan sarana pendidikan SD dan sarana
Puskesmas, perlu dilakukan penyuluhan secara kontinyu dan berkala kepada
warga masyarakat dalam rangka mempertahankan etika sosial atau perilaku
yang baik dan kaidah-kaidah sosial, berupaya melakukan pembangunan
secara merata dari semua aspek (terutama pembangunan infrastuktur sosial
dan ekonomi), pemberdayaan warga masyarakat lapisan bawah, selektif
memberikan ijin pembentukan LSM (termasuk selektif di dalam memilih LSM
sebagai mitra kerja pemerintah untuk melaksanakan program-program sosial
dan pemberdayaan masyarakat), perlu mengupayakan terjadinya
transformasi dari sektor pertanian dan perkebunan yang selama ini
menjadi sandaran pekerjaan warga pribumi ke pekerjaan di sektor industri
dan perdagangan, pemerintah setempat perlu memiliki kepedulian yang
tinggi terhadap perbaikan infrastruktur jalan (kabupaten, provinsi, dan
negara), serta perlu terus menggali potensi daerah yang tersedia
(khususnya PAD di sektor perpajakan daerah
dan retribusi daerah).
