Abstract
The role of the regional head in building good government in the city of Semarang, is an important aspect in supporting the realization of the concept, where a regional head can be an initiator in formulating various programs into the regional vision and mission, in the perspective of the Semarang city government, the actualization of this role is actualized by Hendrar Prihadi into several excellent work programs, including through the Semarang Smart City Program initiated by Hendi who succeeded in bringing Semarang City as the first city to be a Smart City pilot in Indonesia. A number of smart city concepts include systemic (connected to the system), monitorable (can be monitored), accessible (easy to access), reliable (trustworthy), and time bound (time limit). The concept was applied, for example, at the online launch of the KRK (City Plan Information) and IPTB (Building Technical Permit) systems. If the public has a complaint that they want to submit, then they can submit it directly through the ^Report Hendi^ menu. This smart city concept makes Semarang City move up a class on the corruption perception index, which is ranked 3rd in 2015. Other programs that later succeeded in making the city of Semarang one of the cities that have many achievements include innovating the health sector with the 112 call center, the free 24-hour ^Great Ambulance^ service, launching the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program for all the people of the city of Semarang. From these various innovations, Hendrar Prihadi succeeded in bringing Semarang City to be the area with the highest Life Expectancy (AHH) in Indonesia reaching 77.21 years, as well as making Semarang a tourist city rather than an industrial city. It is proven through an international standard design in Kandri Village.
