Abstract

Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (PNPM) Mandiri
Perkotaan is one of the programs that comes as a solution to the problem of
poverty. PNPM Mandiri Perkotaan is also present to overcome the problem of
poverty in Pekalongan Regency, one of the assisted areas is in Babalan Lor
Village Sub-Distric of Bojong Regency of Pekalongan. Furthermore, in
implementing a development program, it is necessary to involve all parties in
other words, it requires participation of all components involved. Poverty and
participation are two things that are closely related, the ineffectiveness of
participation and integration of the poor into the main institutions of society, is
one of the characteristics of the culture of poverty. This research is conducted by
using qualitative research method. Data collection used in this research is
interview and documentation.
The results show that the participation of the Babalan Lor village
community can be concluded that it is running but needs to be improved. Villagers
of Babalan Lor are only enthusiastic to be involved in the introduction and
planning process. While community involvement in the process of implementation,
monitoring and evaluation even for the maintenance of the results of development
needs to be improved because people tend to be oriented towards the material or
wages to be received, not the benefits of such development. On the other hand,
there are encouraging factors of community participation that include: 1)
Community Needs and 2) Village Facilitator Support, BKM Margo Mulyo and
Community Leaders of Babalan Lor Village.
