Abstract

This study examines life tranquility in the context of moderate replacement fertility levels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) in 2023. The region's diverse social, cultural, and economic characteristics significantly influence fertility trends and family dynamics. Areas like Sleman and Bantul display higher family proportions, reflecting stable fertility levels, while Yogyakarta City faces challenges in maintaining population growth due to lower fertility rates, influenced by urbanization and economic pressures. This urban-rural divide underscores the complex relationship between fertility patterns and socio-economic factors. Despite increasing birth rates in some areas, challenges persist in understanding fertility behaviors, particularly in relation to access to education, healthcare, and family policies. These factors can either support or hinder efforts to achieve sustainable population growth and well-being. This study explores the connections between moderate fertility rates, life tranquility, and socio-economic influences in DIY. It also examines how education, healthcare access, and family planning policies impact family well-being and fertility decisions. The research aims to provide policy solutions to enhance the quality of life for families across the region. By understanding the socio-economic determinants of fertility trends, this study offers insights into urban-rural differences and informs policy design to address fertility changes and promote stable family dynamics.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant health problem in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. This study emphasizes the self-leadership of Babinsa (village supervisory non-commissioned officers)—as street-level actors—in stunting prevention in Indonesia. It aims to explore the role of village development non-commissioned officers (NCOs) of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), known as Babinsa, in stunting prevention efforts by examining how a self-leadership model can enhance their effectiveness in addressing this public health challenge. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on Babinsa in Magelang Regency, Central Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including Babinsa, Posyandu cadres, village midwives, village officials, and families of stunting sufferers. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and insights from the data. The findings revealed that Babinsa (village-based non-commissioned officers) who applied self-leadership principles demonstrated increased adaptability in implementing stunting prevention strategies tailored to community needs. However, challenges such as bureaucratic constraints and limited resources impacted the effectiveness of these efforts. Collaboration between Babinsa, health workers, and community members proved crucial for successful interventions, highlighting the importance of cultural sensitivity and community engagement. The study concluded that implementing a self-leadership model by Babinsa could significantly improve their effectiveness in stunting prevention. Insights from this study can inform policymakers and practitioners in designing better training programs and support systems to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia.
