Analisis Big Data Sentimen Publik Terhadap Implementasi Kebijakan Makan Bergizi Gratis di Indonesia

Abstract

Seeking the public interest is a form of government responsibility in handling various public interests across multiple policy lines. This is done by observing public discussions about the performance of government policies. The Free nutritious meals (MBG) policy is a manifestation of efforts to serve the public interest and improve children's nutrition. However, in its implementation, it still faces many challenges, such as poisoning. The purpose of this study is to examine public sentiment on the implementation of the MBG policy in Indonesia through Big Data analysis using X. The survey results show that public sentiment regarding the policy’s implementation is neutral. Then, negative sentiment is more dominant than positive, which shows that public assessment of the implementation of MBG is considered ineffective, because there are still rampant cases of poisoning and inadequate planning, implementation and supervision. In addition, political communication from the government that is not in harmony between the claimed success and the fact of policy implementation on the ground makes negative sentiment from the political sector more dominant. However, positive sentiment indicates that the public considers the MBG program beneficial if there are significant improvements in MBG and SPPG kitchen planning, implementation, and adequate supervision by policy implementers.
