Daftar Isi:
- This research is focused on community empowerment in the grass-root level. More especially, it looks at what community can initiate in the efforts for community empowerment in the current changing world, which is marked by rapid globalization and more digitalized community. The research was conducted in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, a city where the Vice Governor of East Java, launched his latest movement called Gerakan Peduli Tetangga (Community Caring Movement) in early 2016. A study in Sidoarjo, therefore will provide an insight into the process of community empowerment in the grass-roots level. Qualitative research methods were employed in this research, involving interview and observation with a total of 39 informants. This research finds that besides, initiatives from the government -which tends to be unsustainable-,empowerment can be initiated by the community. Yet, as this research also finds, initiatives from community tend to be triggered by initiatives from the government (thus tend to be top-down) and aimed more especially to implement Government’s policies, programs and projects. Above all, such initiatives have undoubtedly revealed that community has now been involved as a subject and not merely an object of development, and therefore has spaces to participate in decision making that lead to self-sustenance of the individual member of the community.
