Judul: The Relationship between Participation Rate and Empowerment Level of Participants of the Sustainable Food House Area Program (KRPL) (Study: Manunggal Pasir Buncir Farmer Women's Group, Pasir Buncir Village, Caringin District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province)
Abstrak: Integrasi antara inisiasi pemerintah dan komunitas dalam mengedepankan dampak dari program pengembangn masyarakat yang berjalan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan komunitas. Program KRPL yang dominan diinisiasi pemerintah bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan agar terpenuhi kebutuhan pangan. Sejauh mana program ini dapat memberikan dampak berupa keberdayaan pada anggotanya menjadi arena yang perlu dikaji secara mendalam karena kaitan antara partisipasi dalam tiap tahapan dan keberdayaan tidak selalu linear, sehingga evaluasi mengenai bentuk kontrol yang ditampilkan dalam relasi anggota dengan pengelola dalam program di tiap tahapan program menjadi perlu dimasukkan ke dalam kerangka penelitian. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan tingkat partisipasi dengan tingkat keberdayaan dari anggota Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Manunggal Pasir Buncir sebagai peserta dalam Program KRPL. Pendekatan evaluasi program yang digunakan yaitu pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung dengan data kualitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei kepada 30 orang responden anggota KWT dan wawancara. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang menengah dan signifikan (r=0.44, p=0.01) antara tingkat partisipasi dengan tingkat keberdayaan anggota KWT dalam program KRPL. Derajat partisipasi anggota baik yang kuat maupun lemah di tiap tahapan program berhubungan dengan peningkatan kesadaran dan peningkatan akses, namun belum sejalan dengan kapasitas penyelesaian masalah dan kerjasama dalam kelompok., Integration between government and community initiations in prioritizing the impact of community development programs that are running in meeting the needs of the community. The dominant KRPL program initiated by the government aims to optimize the use of yard land to meet food needs. The extent to which this program can have an impact in the form of empowerment on its members is an arena that needs to be studied in depth because the relationship between participation in each stage and empowerment is not always linear so that the evaluation of the form of control displayed in the relationship between members and managers in the program at each stage of the program needs to be included in the research framework. Thus, this study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of participation and the level of empowerment of members of the Manunggal Peasant Women's Group (KWT) as participants in the KRPL Program. The program evaluation approach used is a quantitative approach supported by qualitative data. This study used a survey method to 30 respondents of Pasir Buncir members and interviews. The results of this study show that there is an intermediate and significant relationship (r= 0.44, p = 0.01) between the level of participation and the level of empowerment of KWT members in the KRPL program. The participation of members, both strong and weak, at each stage of the program is related to raising awareness and increasing access, but it is not yet in line with the capacity of problem solving and cooperation in groups.
