Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Margoagung Village reached 10.14%, making it the Village with the highest prevalence rate in Kapanewon Seyegan. As a result, a stunting prevention program is required, and it is inextricably linked to the role of cadres, because cadres can influence the success of the Posyandu program, particularly in monitoring the growth and development of toddlers. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of Posyandu cadres in preventing stunting in Margoagung Village. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. This study involved 12 respondents, namely representatives of community cadres in the Margoagung Village. The findings of this study show that the Posyandu cadres in Margoagung Village have made a positive contribution to the local community in terms of health because they have carried out their duties well. It has also been demonstrated that the community feels the benefits of regularly visiting the Posyandu, one of which is that the community, particularly mothers of toddlers, can detect early and pay more attention to the health of their respective toddlers. Furthermore, despite not carrying out the program optimally, the cadres have successfully implemented a stunting prevention program through specific and sensitive nutrition interventions. According to the study's findings, several barriers to implementation were discovered, including cadres' lack of knowledge about nutrition and toddler health, so they relied on health workers at the Puskesmas

Abstract

Bimomartani Quality Family Village is one of the Family Planning Villages in Sleman Regency. The implementation of this policy is based on supporting the government's efforts to ensure good and quality family planning and reducing the number of unplanned births. In its implementation over the past 2 years, there are still problems, namely lack of facilities, budget and low number of family planning users. This research aims to find out how the Kampung KB program is implemented in Bimomartani Village. This research uses qualitative methods by prioritizing primary data from interviews with informants, with the application of George C. Edward III's theory. Data collection techniques use interviews and observation. The research results show (1) transition communication, clarity of information and consistency are implemented effectively. (2) the disposition shows an attitude of commitment and meets the expectations and incentives provided. (3) The bureaucratic structure has clear SOPs and fragmentation. (4) Resources including facilities, human resources and budget are insufficient.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Family Planning (KB) program through the Male Operation Method (MOP) in Widodomartani Village, Sleman Regency in 2024. Using the theoretical framework of Edward III and Grindle, the research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that program implementation has been systematically carried out through planning, socialization, registration, service delivery, and evaluation. Various strategies were used, including formal meetings, door-to-door approaches, involvement of Male Family Planning Groups, and the use of social media platforms such as YouTube. In terms of resources, both funding and medical personnel support were adequate. Nevertheless, male participation remained low, with a declining number of participants between 2022 and 2024. Contributing factors include social stigma, misconceptions about MOP, and limited participant quotas. Additionally, cultural perceptions such as the assumption that men undergoing MOP are more likely to engage in extramarital affairs also hinder participation. On the other hand, socialization targeting women proved more effective, as mothers play a decisive role in family planning decisions. The study concludes that improving MOP effectiveness requires comprehensive education for men, inclusive communication strategies for couples, and stronger support from health workers and community leaders to eliminate negative stigma.

Abstract

This study analyzes the operational role of the Sleman SAR Standby Unit (USS Sleman) in conducting search and rescue (SAR) operations and identifies the supporting and inhibiting factors that affect its effectiveness within the local disaster management system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Bruce J. Biddle’s (1986) role theory is applied as the analytical framework, focusing on five components: expectations, norms, performance, evaluation, and sanctions, with additional consideration of contextual factors such as regulatory frameworks, disaster risk characteristics, and organizational capacity. The findings show that USS Sleman performs under well-defined institutional expectations and established national SOPs, reinforced by informal team norms such as discipline and trust. As a first responder and initial field coordinator, the unit plays a vital role in early-stage SAR operations and stakeholder coordination. Despite its generally effective performance, the unit faces several challenges, including limited specialized equipment, logistical constraints, and coordination gaps among agencies. This study contributes to the disaster management literature by offering a role-based operational analysis of a local SAR unit, a topic rarely explored in previous research. It underscores the importance of enhancing institutional capacity, improving inter-agency collaboration, and adapting policies to increase SAR responsiveness and strengthen community resilience in high-risk areas.
