Abstract

This study examines the forms and intensity of family social support provided to elderly individuals in Sugihwaras Village, Prambon Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency, through four key dimensions: emotional, esteem, instrumental, and informational support. In the context of rural communities, where institutional services are often limited, the family functions as the primary support system in ensuring the physical and psychosocial well-being of elderly individuals. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative research design, the study employed a census method involving 37 elderly individuals cohabiting with family members. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and document analysis. The results indicate that the overall level of family social support is high. Among the four dimensions, instrumental support scored the highest, reflecting substantial family engagement in fulfilling daily physical needs. In contrast, esteem support recorded the lowest score, highlighting a lack of symbolic acknowledgment and emotional affirmation. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive strategies that strengthen not only functional caregiving but also the affective and symbolic aspects of support, in order to foster dignity, autonomy, and meaningful aging.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of disaster preparedness among the community of Cikahuripan Village, Lembang Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency, in facing 4 natural hazards. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, applying the LIPI– UNESCO/ISDR (2006) instrument, which consists of four parameters: disaster risk knowledge, emergency response planning, early warning systems, and resource mobilization. A total of 98 respondents from all neighborhood units (RW) in the village were selected as the research sample. The results showed that the Community Preparedness Index (CPI) reached 74.2, which falls into the "Prepared" category. The highest score was in disaster risk knowledge (83.15), followed by emergency response planning (76.4), early warning systems (67), and the lowest score was in resource mobilization (46.5). The low score in resource mobilization indicates a lack of capacity among residents in organizing logistics, emergency funds, and asset protection during disasters. Based on these findings, a community-based intervention program named "SIAGA CIKAHURIPAN" was designed, focusing on simulation and training activities to enhance the community's ability to mobilize local resources. The program is structured to involve village authorities, community organizations, women, and youth as key actors. This research is expected to serve as a reference for disaster preparedness policy development and the implementation of community-based disaster management programs in high-risk rural areas

Abstract

Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) constitutes a fundamental aspect of the lives of people with visual impairments, enabling them to live with autonomy rather than complete reliance on others. This study provides an empirical account of the independence of persons with visual impairments at Sentra Wyata Guna Bandung, analyzed across four dimensions: (1) responsibility, (2) autonomy, (3) initiative, and (4) self-control. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. The findings reveal that, in terms of responsibility, participants exhibited compliance with schedules and institutional regulations, demonstrated through consistent engagement in self-care and vocational training. Autonomy was reflected in their confidence to manage daily tasks independently and in their freedom to select training programs aligned with personal interests, thereby shaping orientation toward independent living after leaving the center. Initiative emerged in the proactive use of adaptive strategies in ADL and the independent utilization of assistive devices such as folding canes, talking watches, and braille slates. Nevertheless, challenges persisted in the domain of self-control, particularly with regard to vulnerability to emotional influences, partial limitations in ADL performance, and continued reliance on external support. In response, this study introduces a program to enhance the self-control of people with visual impairments in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at Sentra Wyata Guna Bandung. The program seeks to reinforce the role of social workers as facilitators through three key strategies: (a) the development of training modules, (b) technical training in emotional regulation, ADL, and Orientation & Mobility (O&M), and (c) modification of assistive devices to foster greater independence.

Abstract

Empowerment is the process of empowering and empowering communities to control their lives independently. This study aims to empirically describe the empowerment of beneficiaries of the Indonesian Economic Heroes Program (PENA) in developing micro, small, and medium enterprises in Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency. The research approach used a quantitative method with a questionnaire survey, resulting in reliability using Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.962). Empowerment is in the high category, with the social aspect at 87.18% and the economic aspect at 94.87%. Based on cross-tabulation, there is a correlation between empowerment and entrepreneurship at 92.30%, indicating that beneficiaries of the PENA program can develop businesses. However, there are still indicators with relatively low results, such as the ability to purchase large commodities and production capabilities. These findings emphasize the need for mentoring to strengthen motivation, improve skills, and provide technical support for production so that the economic empowerment of beneficiaries is more optimal and sustainable. It is also necessary to develop business networks through digitalization and further enhance the ability to develop businesses so that they become more independent.

Abstract

The Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan – PKH) is a conditional cash transfer program designed to improve the quality of human resources among poor households through enhanced access to health, education, and social welfare services. In recent years, however, the compliance verification mechanism that constitutes the core of PKH has no longer been strictly implemented. This study aims to examine how beneficiary households continue to comply with program obligations despite the absence of formal verification, using a case study conducted in Cipayung District, East Jakarta. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, field observations allowing unobtrusive observation of beneficiary behavior, and document analysis. Informants consisted of PKH administrators, social facilitators, and beneficiary households. The findings reveal that although PKH has gradually shifted toward a quasi-unconditional assistance scheme, beneficiaries’ compliance in accessing health and education services remains relatively well maintained. This condition is influenced by the internalization of program values, long-term participation experience, the mediating role of social facilitators, and the availability of adequate urban service infrastructure. The study concludes that social and normative mechanisms rooted in awareness, habituation, and moral commitment can partially substitute formal compliance verification, particularly in urban contexts. Nevertheless, the re-strengthening of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms remains essential to ensure the sustainability of PKH’s long-term objectives in improving human capital and breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty.

Abstract

Abstract Stunting is influenced by biological factors and broader social determinants, and families formed through early marriage face layered vulnerabilities that weaken household-level prevention. This study aimed to describe stunting prevention behaviors among early married families in Sukahaji Subdistrict, Babakan Ciparay District, Bandung City, using a three-level prevention framework. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted through in-depth interviews with five mothers who married before age 19, selected purposively, supported by key informants (community social workers and posyandu cadres), as well as observation and documentation; data were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that primary prevention was fragile due to low literacy on stunting and pregnancy nutrition, incomplete understanding of health guidance, psychosocial barriers, and socioeconomic constraints that made pregnancy diets largely dependent on household food availability. Secondary prevention was reactive and relied on posyandu monitoring and cadre prompting, with responses focused on increasing food intake and providing milk, supported by PMT and DASHAT but not consistently grounded in comprehensive nutrition understanding. Tertiary prevention involved gradual behavior change following external guidance, yet sustained home-based rehabilitation was constrained by limited practical nutrition skills, economic barriers, and weak social support, and preventive outreach to adolescents to reduce early marriage was uneven. These findings highlight the central role of posyandu cadres as local connectors and the need to strengthen maternal health literacy, practical caregiving skills, and socioeconomic support to achieve sustainable household-level stunting prevention.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran empiris tentang kualitas kelekatan antara anak dan pengasuh di Panti Asuhan Mandhanisiwi di bawah Yayasan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat Muhammadiyah di Purbalingga, Jawa Tengah. Kelekatan dipahami sebagai ikatan emosional yang terbentuk melalui interaksi berkelanjutan antara seorang anak dan figur kelekatannya, dalam hal ini, pengasuh panti asuhan. Hubungan emosional ini memainkan peran penting dalam mendukung perkembangan psikososial anak. Penelitian ini berfokus pada tiga aspek utama kelekatan: kepercayaan, komunikasi, dan keterasingan. Pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan metode survei digunakan. Sampel terdiri dari 39 anak yang dipilih melalui teknik total sampling (sensus). Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi, dengan instrumen yang diadaptasi dari Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA). Uji reliabilitas menggunakan Cronbach's Alpha menghasilkan skor 0,667, yang menunjukkan konsistensi internal yang dapat diterima untuk tujuan penelitian. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aspek kepercayaan dan keterasingan termasuk dalam kategori sedang, sedangkan aspek komunikasi dikategorikan rendah. Anak-anak cenderung enggan mengungkapkan perasaan mereka kepada pengasuh dan merasakan terbatasnya keterlibatan emosional dari pengasuh dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Rendahnya intensitas interaksi memengaruhi kedekatan emosional dan rasa aman yang idealnya terbangun antara anak-anak dan pengasuh. Berdasarkan temuan ini, peneliti mengusulkan program intervensi yang disebut "Layanan Dukungan Anak dan Pengasuh (SAPA ASUH)" sebagai strategi untuk meningkatkan hubungan emosional dan komunikasi dua arah antara anak-anak dan pengasuh di panti asuhan. Program ini mencakup sesi pendampingan, pelatihan komunikasi empati, dan refleksi peran pengasuh untuk meningkatkan kualitas ikatan emosional.

Abstract

Kampung Siaga Bencana (KSB) is a community-based disaster risk reduction initiative aimed at strengthening local community capacity in disaster management. However, disaster information management at the grassroots level remains constrained by top-down and technocentric reporting systems, weak coordination among volunteers, fragmented data management, and limited community participation. This study aims to formulate the strategy for strengthening KSB through a Participatory Disaster Information System (Sistem Informasi Partisipatif/SIP) in Ujungberung, Bandung. The study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach by involving KSB volunteers as co-researchers, facilitated through the Technology of Participation (ToP) method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), observation, and documentation studies, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal five major community needs in developing the system: (1) integrated disaster data management across pre-disaster, emergency response, and post-disaster phases; (2) smartphone-based rapid reporting with real-time visual documentation; (3) volunteer competency mapping for tactical mobilization; (4) user-friendly application interfaces; and (5) managerial clarity regarding system operators within the KSB structure. The development of SIP transformed the previous system (SIGERCEP) into a participatory digital platform that improved information management and emergency coordination while strengthening participation, sense of ownership, empowerment, and community resilience. The study also found that community strengthening is influenced not only by internal community capacities, but also by local leadership support, inter-agency communication, coordination among stakeholders, and linkages with government and disaster management institutions. The novelty of this study lies in integrating social work approaches, strengths perspective, community empowerment, and digital transformation into a participatory disaster information system model for community-based disaster risk reduction. Keywords: Kampung Siaga Bencana (KSB); Participatory Information System; Community Empowerment; Strengths Perspective; Community Resilience.

Abstract

Smart city is not merely a concept, but has become an important strategy in realizing modern, adaptive, and public-service-oriented governance. This study aims to understand and analyze how local government digital services through smart city development can improve community quality of life, with a case study of the Cirebon Regency Government. The era of digital transformation demands that the Cirebon Regency Government develop technology-based public service innovations to meet community needs quickly, efficiently, effectively, and transparently. This study employs a descriptive analytical approach with data collection techniques through interviews with government officials and observations of digital system implementation, including documentation studies of related policies and regulations. The research findings indicate that the Cirebon Regency Government has initiated several digital service programs, such as the population administration information system, online licensing services, and a community complaint platform. These initiatives have contributed to improved accessibility, service efficiency, and community satisfaction. However, implementation still faces challenges in the form of limited technology infrastructure, uneven digital literacy, and minimal integration among digital services. Nevertheless, the Cirebon Regency Government has great opportunities to create an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable environment to comprehensively improve community quality of life through the optimization of digital services. This study recommends the need to strengthen digital governance, enhance human resource capacity, and foster multi-stakeholder collaboration to support the sustainability of smart city development

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the relational control practiced by Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) facilitators in guiding the utilization of assistance by beneficiary families in Rancamulya Village, Pameungpeuk Subdistrict, Bandung Regency. The issue is important because the effectiveness of conditional social assistance depends not only on the accuracy of fund distribution, but also on the ability of facilitators to communicate program values, monitor assistance use, clarify rules, and strengthen family responsibility. This study used a qualitative case study approach with a descriptive orientation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, focus group discussion, and document study. Six informants were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of three PKH facilitators, two Keluarga Penerima Manfaat (KPM), and one village official. The analysis used thematic analysis informed by the levers of control framework, covering interactive control, diagnostic control, boundary control, and belief control. The findings show that facilitator control was practiced through open communication, monitoring of commitments, clarification of assistance boundaries, and value-based empowerment. Control was implemented through home visits, Pertemuan Peningkatan Kemampuan Keluarga (P2K2), informal communication, and reminders to prioritize education, health, and family welfare. The main challenges were limited KPM understanding, uneven participation in P2K2, and weak village-level coordination. This study concludes that PKH facilitator control should be understood as a relational and educative social work practice, rather than merely administrative supervision. These findings imply the need to strengthen structured communication, family education, local coordination, and community-based monitoring to improve responsible assistance utilization.
