The results showed that in element the Vision and Strategy have been implemented optimally because the program has been able to improve the economy of the hallway community. Base utilization and competence have not been achieved due to budget constraints in the utilization of hallways. Organizational intelligence has run well as seen from the government's ability to change people's mindset. Management of creativity and ideas has been carried out optimally, supported by the ability of the Makassar City government to provide stimulant assistance to the community through synergy between SKPD.
