Abstract

Violence against children remains a serious problem in Indonesia's social welfare system. This study aims to analyse the implementation of play therapy programs as a psychosocial intervention strategy to reduce the impact of violence against children. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research was conducted at a Child Social Welfare Institution in Yogyakarta through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The results showed that play therapy was effective in reducing aggressive behaviour, improving emotional expression, and strengthening children's sense of security after trauma. Social workers act as therapeutic mediators who bridge children's emotional recovery with the support of family and social environment. Local cultural adaptation through traditional games increases the acceptance and effectiveness of therapy. However, limited human resources and national guidelines are major obstacles to implementation. This study emphasises the importance of developing a play-based and locally cultural intervention model as part of child social rehabilitation services in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of poverty and the role of social support among urban households, with a focus on understanding how welfare conditions evolve over time. The research aims to analyze patterns of chronic and transient poverty, as well as the influence of formal and informal support systems on household resilience. The study is based on a qualitative longitudinal design involving 30 poor urban households selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings reveal that urban poverty is highly dynamic, with households frequently transitioning in and out of poverty due to economic shocks and unstable livelihoods. Social support plays a crucial role as both a coping mechanism and a protective factor; however, its effectiveness is constrained by weak social networks and unequal access to formal assistance. The study also finds that survival strategies adopted by households are often short-term and insufficient to ensure long-term economic stability. This research contributes to the literature by integrating poverty dynamics and social support within a longitudinal qualitative framework, offering a more comprehensive understanding of urban poverty. It also provides important policy insights for strengthening inclusive and sustainable social protection systems.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH), in Sawa Village, Sawa District, North Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving beneficiary families, program facilitators, local officials, and community leaders. The study applies a policy evaluation framework focusing on effectiveness, targeting accuracy, compliance, and program impact. The findings reveal that PKH has contributed significantly to reducing the financial burden of poor households, particularly in accessing education and healthcare services. However, several critical challenges remain. First, targeting inaccuracies persist, as evidenced by inclusion and exclusion errors due to outdated and less adaptive social welfare data. Second, beneficiaries’ compliance with program conditions tends to be administrative rather than substantive, limiting behavioral change outcomes. Third, the limited number and capacity of program facilitators affect the quality of assistance and monitoring processes. Fourth, while PKH effectively functions as a short-term social protection mechanism, its impact on long-term economic empowerment remains limited. Additionally, issues of transparency, community participation, and weak monitoring systems hinder optimal program performance. The study concludes that the effectiveness of PKH is not solely determined by its policy design but also by implementation quality, institutional capacity, and local socio-economic context. Strengthening data systems, enhancing facilitation, integrating empowerment programs, and improving governance are essential to maximize program outcomes. This research contributes to the development of evidence-based social protection policies, particularly in improving conditional cash transfer programs in localized contexts.
