In dealing with sanitation problems in slum settlements, it is necessary to involve stakeholders.

In this research, the power-interest matrix and social network analysis methods were used by collecting data through FGDs. The results showed that there were 47 stakeholders consisting of the government, private sector, civil society and academia who played a role in handling sanitation, where each stakeholder played a role in planning, building, operating and monitoring sanitation handling in the slums of Pontianak City. There were 6 key players, 15 subjects, 17 crowds, and 10 context setters, where key player had a major role in handling sanitation, thus all stakeholders can contribute optimally to improving sanitation in Pontianak City slums.
