Abstract

HADYATASYA SHALMADINI, NRP. 20.03.085. Community Participation in the Distribution of Food Programs for Single Elderly in Ciamis District, Ciamis Regency, West Java Province. Supervised by Dr. Teta Riasih, MP., and Rosilawati, S.Sos., MPS.Sp. Participation is a process of citizen or community involvement in improving development that has an impact on groups or the wider community. Based on direct observations at the village location in Ciamis Regency, many elderly people living in villages live in poor conditions, live in inadequate housing, are unable to meet their nutritional needs properly, and have not achieved a prosperous life. This study aims to describe Community Participation in the Distribution of Food Programs for Single Elderly in Ciamis District. This study uses a qualitative design with a descriptive method, and informants are determined through a purposive sampling method. Informants in this study included the Head of the Rehabilitation and Social Services Division of the Ciamis Regency Social Service, Community Groups (POKMAS) of Ciamis District, Single Elderly People of Ciamis District. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study showed that the decision-making aspect was quite good in expressing opinions, conveying ideas/concepts, and being active in meetings or coordinating with program facilitators. In the aspect of participation, there were obstacles in the form of limitations of the Ciamis District POKMAS in carrying out the evaluation process caused by the lack of knowledge and understanding of the Ciamis District POKMAS members in carrying out comprehensive and detailed evaluation activities. In the aspect of participation in the implementation related to the distribution of assistance, there were obstacles in the form of the lack of skills of the Ciamis District POKMAS in processing various food ingredients for single elderly people. In the aspect of participation in taking benefits, there were obstacles in the form of misunderstandings in community perceptions regarding the distribution of food assistance which triggered conflicts between activity implementers. Based on the existing problems, the researcher designed a program proposal "Improving the Skills of POKMAS Food for Single Elderly with the Community of Ciamis District" which aims to improve the skills and knowledge of POKMAS in carrying out its duties and responsibilities, as well as improving the understanding of community members in implementing the Distribution of Food Programs for Single Elderly in Ciamis District, Ciamis Regency, West Java Province.

Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pendistribusian Program Permakanan bagi Lanjut Usia Tunggal di Kecamatan Ciamis, Kabupaten Ciamis, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Dibimbing oleh Dr. Teta Riasih, MP., dan Rosilawati, S.Sos., MPS.Sp. Partisipasi merupakan sebuah proses keterlibatan warga negara atau masyarakat dalam meningkatkan pembangunan yang membawa dampak pada kelompok atau masyarakat luas. Berdasarkan pengamatan secara langsung di lokasi desa Kabupaten Ciamis banyak lanjut usia yang tinggal di desa hidup dalam kondisi miskin, tinggal di hunian tidak layak, tidak mampu memenuhi kebutuhan gizinya secara layak, dan belum tercapainya hidup dalam kondisi sejahtera. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pendistribusian Program Permakanan bagi Lanjut Usia Tunggal di Kecamatan Ciamis. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif, dan informan ditentukan melalui metode purposive sampling. Informan dalam penelitian ini meliputi Kepala Bidang Rehabilitasi dan Pelayanan Sosial Dinas Sosial Kabupaten Ciamis, Kelompok Masyarakat (POKMAS) Kecamatan Ciamis, Lanjut Usia Tunggal Kecamatan Ciamis. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam (In-Depth Interview), observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aspek pengambilan keputusan sudah cukup baik dalam mengemukakan pendapat, menyampaikan ide/gagasan, dan keaktifan dalam rapat atau koordinasi bersama pendamping program. Pada aspek partisipasi terdapat hambatan berupa keterbatasan POKMAS Kecamatan Ciamis dalam melakukan proses evaluasi yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya pengetahuan dan pemahaman anggota POKMAS Kecamatan Ciamis dalam melakukan kegiatan evaluasi yang komprehensif dan terperinci. Aspek partisipasi dalam pelaksanaan terkait penyaluran bantuan terdapat hambatan berupa kurangnya keterampilan POKMAS Kecamatan Ciamis dalam mengolah bahan makanan yang variatif bagi lanjut usia tunggal. Aspek partisipasi dalam pengambilan manfaat terdapat hambatan kesalahpahaman persepsi masyarakat mengenai penyaluran bantuan permakanan yang memicu konflik antar pelaksana kegiatan. Berdasarkan dari permasalahan yang ada, peneliti merancang usulan program “Peningkatan Keterampilan POKMAS Permakanan bagi Lanjut Usia Tunggal bersama Masyarakat Kecamatan Ciamis” yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dan pengetahuan POKMAS melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya, serta meningkatkan pemahaman warga masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan Pendsitribusian Program Permakan bagi Lanjut Usia Tunggal di Kecamatan Ciamis, Kabupaten Ciamis, Provinsi Jawa Barat.
