Abstract

Pasal 27 ayat 2 Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 menjelaskan bahwa setiap warga Negara berhak atas pekerjaan dan penghidupan yang layak bagi kemanusiaan. Dalam hal ini penyandang disabilitas juga termasuk bagian dari warga Negara Indonesia yang mana sangat berhak memperoleh kedudukan, serta pemberdayaan sosial yang sama dan memiliki hak untuk kehidupan yang layak. Namun pada kenyataannya, keberadaan dari penyandang disabilitas kadangkala sering dikucilkan dalam kehidupaan dimasyarakat, dan selain itu tidak mendapat hak dan kesempatan yang sama seperti warga masyarakat lainnya, dan bahkan kurang mendapatkan kebutuhan hidup yang layak. Oleh karena itu butuh suatu Lembaga dari pemerintah yang dapat menjadi suatu badan yang menangai segala kebutuhan dan pemberdayaan dari penyandang disabilitas, dan yang berperan dari Lembaga pemerintah dalam hal ini yakni Dinas Sosial. Dalam hal ini Dinas Sosial memiliki peran sebagai salah satu unsur perangkat daerah yang memiliki lingkup tugas untuk memberdayakan penyandang disabilitas. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pemberdayaan penyandang disabilitas dari segi pemenuhan bantuan Kesehatan serta dalam bidang ekonomi pada Dinas Sosial Kota Cirebon. Penelitian ini berfokus pada segala kegiatan dan program kerja pada dinas sosial untuk menangani segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan penyandang disabilitas. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Dinas Sosial Kota Cirebon dalam pemberdayaan penyandang disabilitas pada pemenuhan Kesehatan dan ekonomi telah berperan cukup baik namun belum secara maksimal dikarenakan ada beberapa hambatan diluar teknis pelaksanaan.

Abstract

Diffusion innovation is a form of solution to the problem of poverty that occurs in various regions, one of which is in Koto Mesjid Village, Riau Province. By utilizing natural and human resources, innovations for cultivating freshwater fish using the catfish species have begun to be developed. Innovation diffusion activities in order to get out of underdevelopment and poverty are carried out with maximum effort from various parties involved such as innovators, local government, the community and investors. Cultivation, which was initially only a form of fulfilling food for the local community, has moved to cultivation as a form of effort to increase the economic level of the community, developing the creative economy more broadly. The diffusion innovation process outlined in the catfish cultivation program in Koto Mesjid Village needs to be analyzed further. So it can be discovered how the diffusion of innovations that are developed can bring local communities out of backwardness and poverty. The research method used in this journal article is a qualitative method. In this method, field observations and interviews were carried out with several related parties. The results of this research found that there were five stages of the innovation diffusion process carried out in the catfish cultivation program in Koto Mesjid Village.

Abstract

Employment issues remain a significant challenge under the current government. The lack of job opportunities forces people to take any available work to meet their daily needs, aligning with Scott's subsistence theory, which describes survival efforts to fulfill life necessities. Consequently, many turn to the informal sector as a survival strategy due to the lack of alternatives. This phenomenon is evident in Sindangjawa Village, where agricultural labor is highly demanded. Despite insufficient wages for agricultural workers, they do not shift to other sectors. This study aims to identify the factors influencing Sindangjawa Village residents to work as farm laborers and to examine the wages provided. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, data were collected through interviews and documentation. The study provides an overview of the conditions and symptoms observed in the field. The findings reveal that the primary factors driving Sindangjawa Village residents to choose agricultural labor are low education levels and inadequate transportation. The average education level in the village is junior high school (SMP), making it difficult for residents to compete for other jobs. Additionally, limited public transportation hinders access to urban areas. The seasonal nature of agricultural work is a significant challenge, as farm workers only earn during the planting and harvest seasons. In between these periods, finding work becomes difficult, making it hard for agricultural workers to meet their daily needs
