This research is a descriptive study conducted to determine the relationship of government and the role of stakeholders as latent variables on the performance of flood control in Makassar. Therefore, in analyzing the causes of flooding as the source of the flood control performance test rank the variables that determine the variables that are associated with the activities and attitudes of men. By reviewing and analyzing the role of government and stakeholders on the performance of flood control through SEM modeling the relationship between variables can be understood. The results of this study will illustrate the extent of the role of government and stakeholders affect the performance of flood control. Therefore, this research is expected to produce a picture of how the role of government and stakeholders as an input in the policy making process, especially in urban flood management in non-structural. KEYWORDS: Government's Role, Performance, Control Floods INTRODUCTION Urban population growth in an increasingly dense city of Makassar is not accompanied by an effective provision of urban infrastructure including urban drainage can cause flooding and inundation problems. One cause flooding which became a public issue today is the change in land use that is often not in the manner intended. Residential density as the cause of the closing of the land, erosion and sedimentation that occurs in many urban areas. Handling the drainage system in the city of Makassar has not been addressed in an integrated manner by all parties. In a few places to start planning the construction of drainage did not show lack of coordination and involvement of the public and stakeholders. Behavioral and cultural attitudes that often throw garbage in the channel is a problem of the problem in urban flood management. Flood control functions built physically (structure) is a government effort to overcome or minimize the risk of losses due to flood society. However, the government should play a role in providing a space for people to participate in order to flood prevention. BASIC THEORY Understanding the Causes of Flooding According Suripin (2004) [2], flooding is the amount of water flow that exceeds the capacity of a particular discharge, or overflow of water flow in the riverbed or channel so that the water overflows from the left and right International Journal of Civil Engineering (IJCE) ISSN(P): 2278-9987; ISSN(E): 2278-9995 Vol. 3, Issue 4, July 2014, 1-10 © IASET
