INTRODUCTION
Background of Problem
esidents
become an important asset for the growth of a country. Growth in a country will
also be followed by population growth. In the expansion of population growth in
a country not always bring benefits to the country. Many of the problems to be
faced by a country due to population growth. According Pudjiwati (1985:
160-161) that the ever-increasing population growth can lead to many problems,
especially problems in meeting basic human needs such as food, housing,
employment, health care or nutrition and education.
Indonesian
state which is the developing countries are also experiencing population
growth. Based on the results of population census enumeration in Indonesia in
2010 were conducted by BPS (BPS) has recorded a population of 237 556 363
people. Indonesia's population growth rate of 1.49 percent per year. Government
as the superstructure should be able to overcome the problems that occur as a
result of population growth. One of the efforts undertaken by the government is
to run the programs for the welfare of its people. The success of government in
a country can be determined when the government is able to carry out the
people's welfare programs effectively and efficiently. Effective and efficient
is a situation where a government program to precisely target and in accordance
with the predetermined objectives with not many problems that hinder.
The object
of the program is the government of Indonesia's population. Indonesia's
population is so much to make the government should do in order to obtain
population census population data before applying programs. Population data
collection must be precise and accurate so that government programs are also
right on target market and not polemical. The data are accurate and detailed
population is one of the factors that determine the effectiveness of urgent
government programs.
The
Indonesian population census conducted by government agencies, namely the BPS.
BPS is a non-departmental agencies are in the form of government to carry out
statistical activities. BPS has primary responsibility is to do the basic statistics.
Under Act 16 Th 1997 on Statistics, "Basic statistics are statistics
utilized for purposes that are broad, both the government and the community,
which has the characteristics of cross-sectoral, national, macro, and will be
the responsibility of the Agency ". Clear that the basic statistical tasks
fully into kewenanggan BPS.
Basic
statistical activities that have a broad scope of the national as well as make
the BPS in performing basic statistics using census and surveys to collect
data. Data from the census and the survey that was used as a reference by the
government to determine the program targets people kesejahraan.
In fact the
data generated by the BPS inaccurate. In the case of subsidies BLT (Direct Cash
Assistance) in 2005, the results of the study mentioned that BPS Malang based
on the results of data collection GAKIN (Poor Family) is as much as 3,466 KK
(Head of Family). While the number of poor families who agreed to accept cards
in District ngajum BLT is as much as 3,423 households. To overcome this data
discrepancy finally BPS perform data collection and find 1,480 households in
the district that includes GAKIN ngajum who have not received subsidies BLT. In
this case it turns out this data errors caused by GAKIN criteria of BPS is
still rough, officers less careful, less quantity and quality officer, a short
collection time, lack of coordination and socialization among officers, lack of
control of the local community (Sukmana, 2005).
The above
case is proof that there is still a lot of mistakes made by the government in
menyedikan population data used for government programs. This error is not
unusual left alone, without any follow-up from the government. If the issue is
left to be more disadvantaged communities. A strategic steps should be taken by
the government to reduce errors in data collection in order to target
government programs can be precisely and accurately.
Accurate
data can be obtained with the participatory method. In this participatory
methods take into account at least three notes on participatory methods. First,
the quality of information is determined by the presence or absence of an
incentive to provide accurate information. Second, local capture appears when
there are leaders and local elites who have too much influence in a local
community. Pranab Bardhan and Dilip Mookherjee (2000) shows that when the
problem is serious enough capture local, decentralized system which causes the
participatory system is not perfect, and Third, the time and expense that
should diperhatiakan because reality show field, facilitation activities in the
participatory method is not easy. It takes special skills to be a good
facilitator (Rowdy, 2005).
The main
element in the participatory method is public. Youth In society there are a
youth organization that works to help the government in mesejahtrakan society
in the region. Based on the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of
Indonesia Regulation No. 83 / HUK / 2005 on the basic guidelines Karangtaruna,
"That Youth is a social oganisasi container development of the younger
generation that is able to display the character through creativity, taste,
initiative and work in the field of social welfare". Youth participation
in the welfare society is apt to make the youth institution to participate in
helping the government in the success of the people's welfare program.
Therefore, the authors intend to empower the Youth into the community that
participates in the welfare program in charge of the local population census.
Purpose of Writing
Based
on the above background, the purpose of the writing of this paper is as follows:
1. Creating a new innovation in the population census is the
empowerment of Youth as SRU (Society Representative Unit) in the local
population census.
2. To provide a solution to the problems that occur in the
community, especially targeting errors in government programs.
3. Provide solutions to the government to provide accurate
population data.
The Benefits of Writing
The benefits of writing this paper is:
Provide information to the
government, in particular the Village and BPS on innovations that empower the
local population census Youth.
IDEAS
Usefulness
of Data Population
Indonesia
as a developing country has a lot of programs to improve the livelihoods of its
people. The government can successfully mensejahtrakan people if the government
can run its programs effectively and efficiently. The object of government
programs is an Indonesian citizen. Indonesian population data must be in get
before the government implements its programs. Population data is data concerning
kelahirahan, mortality, migration, marriage, health, schools, economy, family
size, and so forth (Sembiring, 1987: 1.12).
Population
data becomes one important instrument that will help the government in the
success of the program. So far, the government has been providing demographic
data through the BPS. BPS data referenced by the government is not entirely
accurate. Various cases of misdirected subsidies BLT to the RTM (Poor
Household) into evidence inaccuracies data. The government can not just rely on
BPS to be fully references in various program goals ksususnya problem
livelihoods. Poor population data from the BPS is actually a macro data is
calculated based on the data Sesunas more appropriate so that this data is used
to determine the allocation of funds but can not be used for programs targeting
or delivery of direct assistance to poor households. So often it is misdirected
and allocations can not meet all target groups in the implementation of
programs for the poor.
One Target Government Programs and Efforts Abatement
BPS
recognizes BLT given to the community as a dispensation rise in fuel prices is
still considered not on target. Because the distribution is still enjoyed by
the majority of people are capable of. Director of Population and Employment
Statistics BPS Uzair Suhaemi in Workshop correspondent says, There are two
errors that led to yet tepay BPS program objectives. First, inclosed error and
eksclosed eroy that errors caused by improper survey data. Secondly, there were
errors officer not directly related to the headman because people are more
likely mendaptarkan more familiar (Economic Daily National Accounts, 2010).
Efforts
have been made by the government to overcome problems that are less accurate
data, According to Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Marine
Coordination Krisnamurthi affirmed that the government will verify the data is
poor in November and December. He added, "But it was later would become
the 2008 data, if for example we have a program that relates to targeting
poverty reduction, after 2008 issue of verification will certainly happen
again" (Nuria, 2008).
Based on
the above facts about the efforts made by the government to obtain population
data are less effective. BLT data is inaccurate in 2005 will be re-verified for
data distribution BLT 2008. Efforts verification ineffective government. One
goal in the livelihoods program still happened. BLT program are replaced with
PKH (PKH) in 2009 was misplaced. Case misdirected PKH aid penyaluaran tersebu
occurred in the village of Tiron, Kediri, "There are 16 poor people who
meet the criteria, but did not accept." "On the contrary, in the
neighborhood, there are 10 rich families just got a CCT," said Beni Chairman
RT 1 RW 1. Village Secretary Tiron Sumarno said, PKH recipient data is not
accurate. the reason, in conducting the survey, the officer did not involve the
village government and devices. "We are not told, there is a direct PKH
assistance. The names of the recipients also suddenly there, living just
distributed the money "(Astuti, 2009).
Factors Contributing to One Goal
There are
several important factors that can be drawn to determine the cause of one
target in the BLT program, the existence of the data generated from the survey
is not up to date, no raw standard of poor families, and a lack of coordination
between agencies BPS officer with villages or communities in the target data
BLT. Government efforts to verify the data is not effective because the effort
was done in one year. Data verification results will be made in the year 2008
will be a reference to the year 2009. When there is a mistake in 2009 to verify
the data ualang, so seterusnnya. It is not effective because the main focus is
how the data capture technique instead focus on the verification of data.
The absence
of an effective solution to solve the problem of population census makes the
government should immediately take strategic steps. Strategic steps to be
taken, namely how to create an accurate manner population census.
Accurate Data Collection Methods
Accurate
data can be obtained with the participatory method. In this participatory
methods take into account at least three notes on participatory methods. First,
the quality of information is determined by the presence or absence of an
incentive to provide accurate information. Second, local capture appears when
there are leaders and local elites who have too much influence in a local
community. Pranab Bardhan and Dilip Mookherjee (2000) shows that when the
problem is serious enough capture local, decentralized system which causes the
participatory system is not perfect, and Third, the time and expense that
should diperhatiakan because reality show field, facilitation activities in the
participatory method is not easy. It takes special skills to be a good
facilitator (Rowdy, 2005).
In this
case can be drawn two important points first is How to coordinate between the
BPS with the village in conducting population census. The second is how to
empower people to participate in the population census. One of the strategic
steps that can be undertaken by the government relating to obtain accurate
population data is to involve elements of society and the role of the village
in the population census. During this policy population census carried out from
top to bottom (top-down) which makes the narrowness of the space for the
community to participate in the population census.
The idea to
involve the community in a variety of government programs is a good idea. The
government can take advantage of the public in the public service. Increasing
active community participation in public services in order to implement various
government projects between local government and the community will culminate
in an effort to realize good governance (Agus, 2008: 191).
In social
development is also known to have a community intervention methods. Social
interventions is the approach in social welfare science to manipulate the human
system so that activities and tasks can be run with good life. While the term
community by Mayo (1994) in Rukminto (2008: 117) one of which is Grass root or
negihbourhood work (actors intervening changes to the communities living in the
area, for example in a village or neighborhood associations (Stia, 2010).
The
government can use the Youth as a representative of the community to the
government petrified in social welfare issues. In Regulation of Minister of
Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Article 1 paragraph 1 No. 83 / HUK
/ 2005 on the basic guidelines Karangtaruna, "Youth is a social
organization where the development of the younger generation that grew and
developed on the basis of awareness and social responsibility of, by and for
the community, especially moving in the field of social welfare ". Here we
can know that the Youth have a role in the welfare masayarakt, in particular is
a community that is its region. Youth can be empowered by the government as a
community or group that helped the success of the government's social welfare
programs. Here Youth can be used as a community that helps local governments in
the population census in the region.
Youth Empowerment As SRU By Village
The Village
as the smallest administrative government can act to empower the Youth. In PP
No. 73 Th 2005 on the village, "Village is the Regency / City-based region
districts." Agencies Village is the area that can be used as a driver in
the empowerment of Youth. Under Regulation 73 Th, 2005, that obligation headman
one of which must empower communities in wilahnya. The Village has the responsibility
to empower the community that there territory. In this case the Village can
prioritize Youth as part of their community to be empowered.
Youth
empowered by the Village as a community or a formal group that provides local
population data. According Miftah (2007: 87) formal group is a group that is
deliberately set up to carry out a specific task, one example of a formal group
is the unit. The Village can menjadiakan Youth as SRU (Society representativ
Unit) Unit of community representatives who provide demographic data that is
local.
Before
forming the Village SRU need to know what factors make the Youth dapata Yanga
active in public service. In mobilizing community participation is no
prerequisite that must be satisfied that there should be a sense of common
fate-arms, attachment purpose in life, finesse adjust, their prakarsawan,
climate and participation (Pasaribu and Simanjuntak, 1986: 65-67).
There are
several steps taken to empower Youth village in the population census. First,
the village held a MAM (Society Members Assembly), which also was attended by
representatives of each Youth RW and RW. In the meeting the Village provide
mengerakan masayarkat socialization about how to be active in public services
that impact the development of the nation. After that just about empowerment of
Youth in the population census. In MAM headman also gave instructions to the
Youth to recruit to its members. Members who pass the selection will be made by
the Village SRU. Second, after a mandate from the Village, Youth RW recruit one
member of each Reef Taruan RT to serve as a representative of each member of
the SRU RTnya. Can be said to number as many as the number of members of the
SRU RT in the RW. SRU members must meet the following mandatory requirements,
members of the youth institution in the RW, devoted to God Almighty, 18+,
honest and responsible, healthy mind mind body and spirit, is an active Youth
of each RT, a minimum of high school graduates / equivalent. After requirement
shall be met there Fit and Proper test that must be taken for each prospective
member of the SRU. Completed recruitment tired Village induct SRU members with
a term of 1 year stewardship. Third, after the SRU legalized by the Village,
Village in cooperation with BPS conduct debriefing SRU with technical training
and materials to members of the SRU in accordance with the participatory method.
SRU
as the unit has a useful structure to facilitate coordination in performance.
SRU position is under the Village. Villages which gives full instructions to
the SRU. SRU members consist of members of the Youth RT (AK RT).
Image. 1 Chart mechanism of action of the SRU
In the chart there are several parties who have contributed to the
performance of the SRU. The first party is the Village, has a duty to cooperate
with the SRU to perform the primary duties and skundernya, gave instructions to
the SRU and to sanction the SRU when making mistakes. The second party is the
Chairman RW, has the task of requesting the registration of the population of
each month for filing SRU RW, gave permission to the SRU in performing various
duties. The third party is the Chairman of RT, has the task of requesting the
registration of the population each month for filing RT, gave permission to the
SRU in performing a variety of duties, to give legality to the maintenance of
KK and KTP. The fourth party is resident, mempunyi task inputting criticism and
suggestions to the SRU, support SRU both moral and non-material.
SRU designed as a unit of the local population census should have duties
for the performance of the SRU becomes clear and orderly. SRU has several
functions, ie functions of the first survey covering the registration of the
population. Second, the function information includes, provision of information
in the form of oral or written about government programs to the community, and
the requirements for obtaining a KTP and KK. Third, the service functions
include, providing services to residents who need services SRU.
SRU task
there are two primary and secondary tasks. SRU primary task is to register
locally. Have local registration mechanism is the first work, the Village gives
instructions to the SRU to perform the registration of the population in the
region SRU, in this registration every AK RT register RTnya. Second, the registration
activities performed 1 month so SRU obtain the latest data (up to date). In the
task of taking care of the SRU sekudernya KTP and KK. KTP is done by
collectively SRU 1 week. KTP can also be done by express if there are people
who urgently need ID cards. Pengursan ID cards starting from RT to the village,
then returned to the citizens of the village along with evidence to proceed to
the District. Handling KK performed by collectively SRU 1 month. Handling KK
carried to completion by the SRU.
SRU excellence and Factors Affecting
The second
task of the SRU, the primary task of the SRU is the solution offered by the
authors to address one target in a variety of government programs. Data
collection in the local region of RT can be detected accurately because the
record is AK RT who knows the ins and outs of the area. Data from the SRU is
ultimately left to the village. BPS officer can directly retrieve data from
each village when there are government programs. Data can also be retrieved BPS
every month as statistical data. The data given by the Village is that every
month the data up to date. BPS does not need to write a single data collection
because it takes a long time and cost a lot. Indirectly SRU also has mewakil
community in controlling the performance of the apparatus of the state in
implementing the livelihoods program. Coordination between the BPS, Village and
Youth provide a good solution in peyediaan population data. These solutions
address the problem of lack of coordination between the officers of BPS and the
Village or Village and incorporate participatory methods are quite accurate in
providing demographic data.
Secondary
task SRU SRU is not only intended to be a unit in charge of data menyedikan
resident in its territory but in keseharianya SRU can also use the services for
existing residents petrified around the region in managing kependudukanya
identity. Residents will be facilitated by the presence of its own SRU SRU and
can also actively participate pro community. Partisipatisi SRU in serving the
citizens will encourage people to be more orderly administrative.
Many
factors affect the performance of the SRU. SRU as a unit that works to help the
Village will also need to be compensated by the Village as the remuneration of
its performance. In line with the opinion of Hani (2001: 155)
"Compensation is important for employees as individuals because of the
amount of compensation reflects the size of the value of their work among the
employees themselves, families and communities". Notabenya compensation is
the money going to give effect to the existence and performance of the SRU.
Based on a participatory method of compensation affect SRU tanggungjawan and
honesty in work. SRU received compensation obtained by the task. In the primary
task of the compensation obtained from the Village. While the compensation
obtained in the secondary task of suawadaya community agreed in advance.
Another thing that determines the performance of the SRU actively ie
interactive communication between employees and the community village with the
SRU SRU.
BPS as a
government agency can provide incentives to SRU SRU felt that more attention
existence. Reward can also create a relationship of cooperation between the SRU
and government agencies more harmonious. Various training to improve the
performance of the SRU should be done regularly. BPS in cooperation with the
Village can conduct periodic training every once in a year according to the SRU
management turnover. Training is essential for long-term individual benefits to
increase responsibility in the future (Hani, 2001: 107).
Efforts to Realize the Benefits SRU and increasing responsibilities in the future
(Hani, 2001: 107)
Efforts
that can be taken to immediately realize the idea of empowering the Youth as
SRU in population data collection is to immediately create a policy from the
municipality / district to immediately give instructions to the device that is
the Village government to immediately establish the SRU.
With the
SRU is expected to provide a breakthrough in terms of population census. The
existence of the SRU can reduce misdirected in various government programs.
People who have been represented by Coral Tarunan will be become active control
in government activities. Youth active control can reduce during this
assumption about government bureaucracy that seemed closed will be reduced and
the government's image would be good.
CONCLUSION
SRU is a unit
consisting of the community joined in Coral Tarunan to perform tasks in data
collection that is local population. In the neighborhood there is one member of
the SRU is called AK RT (Member of Youth RT) representing each RTnya in
population data collection and citizen services. SRU has three functions,
namely the function of registration, information and services. Three of these
functions will be done by the SRU in performing their duties. SRU task itself
there are two primary tasks and secondary tasks. The primary task is to
register the population of each one boasting all. While the slave serves the
maintenance task KK and KTP residents.
Ways that
can dilakuakan to implement SRU is the first, the City / County gave
instructions to every village there territory to form the SRU. The Village held
a MAM (Member Musyawrah Citizens) to invite the Chairman of RW and Youth
Representative every RW. In MA there are some points that delivered namely
socialize socializing on community empowerment and the establishment of the SRU
are tasked with the local population census. Youth RW conduct recruitment to
each Youth RT to be a member of the SRU yanng represent RTnya. After the
completion of recruitment Kelurah to install the SRU members with masajabatan 1
year stewardship.
With the
SRU errors target government programs such as BLT, PKH and others can be
minimized. The data is always up to date every month coupled with Bottom-up
data collection system with the participation of local communities, can be used
as a government solution to obtain accurate data. SRU existence itself can be
used as innovation by society to participate more actively in public service
that will be able to parse the gap between government and society.
