The Asset Security System for Regional Property Management

Abstract

Digitalization of regional asset management is increasingly important for strengthening administrative order, transparency, and accountability in local government. The Regional Management Information System for Regional Property (SIMDA BMD) is utilized to support the recording, inventory, updating, and reporting of regional assets. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of SIMDA BMD in supporting regional asset management at the Regional Research and Development Agency of South Sumatra Province. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving five informants consisting of officials and staff responsible for regional asset management. The findings indicate that, from the context dimension, SIMDA BMD is consistent with institutional needs for more orderly and accountable asset administration. From the input dimension, the available system features, infrastructure, and human resources are generally adequate, although limitations remain, particularly the absence of a GPS feature for recording land-asset locations and the need to strengthen user competencies. From the process dimension, SIMDA BMD is routinely used for asset recording, classification, updating, inventory, and reporting. Nevertheless, data-entry errors, network disruptions, application errors, and the desktop-based system continue to constrain implementation. From the product dimension, SIMDA BMD contributes to improving administrative order, data accessibility, transparency, accountability, and asset monitoring. The study concludes that SIMDA BMD has supported the digitalization of regional asset management, but its contribution has not yet reached an optimal level. Continuous system development, data validation, infrastructure improvement, and human-resource capacity building are therefore required.
