Community Participation in the Program Alert Village People in Kampung Keluarga Berencana (Kampung KB) Pataruman District, Banjar City

Abstract

—The Kampung KB program is one of the innovations of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional, BKKBN) in Indonesia since 2014 in providing integrated services to the community, namely integrating population issues, economic welfare, public knowledge, public health, politics and other aspects. The aim is none other than to overcome the problem of population growth which is increasing and which results in obstruction of the pace of national development in various fields. This program is directed at democratization and decentralization, namely by encouraging community participation or involvement towards an independent society. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach to the case study method in Dusun Cigadung, Karyamukti Village, Paturaman District, City of Banjar. This village has received an Innovative Government Award in the field of public service of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The results illustrate the construction of a participatory model in forming a population alert village through the Kampung KB program.
