Abstract

This article intends to examine the collaboration amongst actors in solving public issues, specifically in the topic of waste management in the Kupang city. Methodologically, the issue was disclosed using qualitative methods based on the descriptive survey, structured interviews, and in-depth interviews. Kupang City grow rapidly both in the aspect of social and economy, as a consequence, load of trash is inevitable along with the development. Otherwise, very little attention was paid to the waste management and people tended to recognise it as insignificant issue,constructed as interpersonal issues, and typically as a private matter. This article aims to demonstrate Kupang residents’ perception towards trash as a public matter. On that point, people awareness toward public issues in this article, which is named as “citizenship” become vital. Without this, problem including waste issue will be receiving limited response. Once it comes to its turn, collective action as a prerequisite for constructive problem solving in public relations would be weakened. It appears that the issue is about the amount of waste in the areas that are fully accessible to the public, for example; markets and housing areas. Waste is poorly managed in these two areas. On the other hand, formal institutional collaboration between government in the local government, the provincial government, and the neighbour district in Kupang district’s government also It appeared to have been poorly managed. This study suggests the need for a non-hierarchical forum that is concerned with decision-making process (not merely consultative) which facilitates the emergence of community control to alleviate "troublesome" environmental issues in surrounding areas in creative ways.

Abstract

The number of under-nutrition children under five in the work area of ​​the Bentng Jawa Health Center in the last 3 years, from 2017 to 2019, has always been stable at 10 people. This number shows the ineffective implementation of nutrition control programs in the work area of ​​the Benteng Jawa Health Center. This occurs due to poor management, starting from input, process and output. This study aims to evaluate the nutrition management program in the Benteng Jawa Health Center in 2019, with 10 informants. The results showed that the input, including the human resources involved in the program, was sufficient, so that there were no obstacles related to human resources. Funds for the 2019 malnutrition control program came from the Health Office's BOK funds amounting to IDR 2,400,000.The facilities and infrastructure to support program implementation are sufficient and work well. The process includes monitoring growth with a target of reaching 100%. Extension or counseling is carried out by midwives, nutrition officers, and KIA officers and is carried out every posyandu is held. Supplementary feeding is carried out every 6 months a year. Output consists of nutritional status, has fluctuated in the last 5 years, maternal knowledge is very low so that it affects baby care, and PMT coverage in 2019 is 100%. It is hoped that Puskesmas will be more creative in providing an understanding of nutrition to mothers of toddlers and the need to involve traditional and community leaders.
