Standards and Objectives - What do you want to achieve through the policy? This variable refers to the clear definition of policy goals and objectives, which is essential for effective policy implementation.
Resources - Are there sufficient resources to support policy implementation? This variable refers to the availability of financial, human, and technological resources required to implement the policy.
Scheduled Activities - What is the planned process to achieve the goal? This variable refers to the specific activities and timelines required to implement the policy.
Socio-political conditions - Does the social and political environment support this policy? This variable refers to the social and political context in which the policy is being implemented.
Implementing Characteristics - Do policy implementers have the required capabilities? This variable refers to the skills, knowledge, and experience of policy implementers.
Feedback Mechanisms - Are there mechanisms in place to provide feedback on policy implementation? This variable refers to the availability of mechanisms to monitor and evaluate policy implementation.

Research Methods

The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. With this approach, researchers try to get in-depth information about the implementation of the Medan Home Terrain application and its impact on electronic government. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the policy implementation process, including the strengths and weaknesses of the application.

Research Results

The results showed that the implementation of the Medan Home Application Policy Program in realizing electronic government conceptually was running well. However, to achieve more optimal policy goals and objectives, it is still necessary to increase. This includes the need for increasing application socialization to the community, training for implementers, as well as periodic evaluations to assess the effectiveness of the application.

The research findings indicate that the Medan Rumah application has been well-received by the community, with many citizens using the application to submit complaints and suggestions. However, the application still faces several challenges, including limited awareness among citizens, inadequate training for implementers, and insufficient resources to support policy implementation.

Conclusion

Overall, the Medan Rumah application is a positive step in implementing the concept of Smart City and Electronic Government in Medan City. By facilitating the community in conveying complaints, this application is expected to be able to bridge communication between the government and the community, as well as improving the quality of public services. However, there needs to be further efforts to perfect this policy in order to achieve the desired goals effectively and efficiently.

The Medan Rumah application has the potential to become a model for other cities in Indonesia to implement electronic government and improve public services. However, it is essential to address the challenges and limitations of the application to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability. By doing so, the government can improve the overall quality of public services, increase citizen participation, and enhance the overall governance of the city.
