The rapid population growth in Indonesia has led to significant urban and rural development challenges, particularly in the provision of adequate infrastructure and facilities. One of the key issues arising from this development is the emergence of slum areas due to inadequate urban planning, poor waste management, and insufficient public infrastructure. This study analyzes the slum conditions in Pasar Cerenti Village, Cerenti District, Kuantan Singingi Regency, focusing on the factors contributing to the deterioration of the living environment and the strategies for sustainable improvement. Using a qualitative analysis approach, this research examines social, economic, and environmental aspects to identify the root causes of slum formation. The findings indicate that poor drainage systems, ineffective waste management, and rapid urbanization are the main contributors to environmental degradation in the area. Although government initiatives such as village restoration projects and infrastructure improvements have been implemented, challenges remain due to low public awareness and lack of community participation. To address these issues, this study recommends comprehensive infrastructure improvements, enhanced government-community collaboration, and private sector involvement to support sustainable urban development. Public engagement in environmental planning and management is essential to achieving long-term solutions. The study contributes valuable insights for policymakers in designing strategies to transform slum areas into livable and sustainable communities.
