Andalso coastal communities are not good in terms of independence because most people are still dependenton government assistance and do not want to be independent themselves and coastal communities also stillexpect work calls from other communities to become helpers or workers for them to make money. This hasbecome the majority of the people who are not independent because they are unable to apply what thegovernment has given to them which results in a low economy and increased poverty in Inobonto DuaVillage Bolaang Mongondow Regency.Keywords : Impact, Policy, Development, Infrastructur, Road]]>
