prosperity of the community. In accordance with the mandate of Law 52/2009, one of the concrete

manifestations in human development is through the Formation of the KB Village. The KB Village program

1 INTRODUCTION

The program to reduce the amount of poverty is the

duty and ideals of the country to achieve a prosperous

society. The development carried out by the

government is a strategy in increasing the welfare of

the community, namely through improving economic

infrastructure such as building roads, bridges,

markets and other facilities, building degrees and

community participation through improving

education and health.

However, the main obstacles faced are almost all

the same, which generally comes from population

problems. Starting from the high infant mortality rate,

and mothers giving birth, the low awareness of the

community about reproductive rights, as well as the

still high rate of population growth, which is not

comparable to the carrying capacity of the

environment. Population growth is now increasingly

becoming a big problem in Indonesia compared to

other countries, population growth will affect various

aspects of life both economically and socially,

especially improving the quality of life or the quality

of the population in human resources coupled with

the large number of uncontrolled population.

Population dynamics or changes tend to the growth

and increase of population on a regular basis,

population growth is the development of the

population of an area or country. Based on the 2015

inter-census population survey (Supas) the

population of Indonesia in 2019 is projected to reach

266.91 million. By sex, the number consisted of 134

million men and 132.89 million women (Badan Pusat

Statistik, 2015).

Policies in Indonesia to reduce the fertility rate to

improve family welfare are carried out through the

Family Planning Program. With the issuance of

Presidential Decree No. 8 of 1970, a National Family

Planning Coordinating Board, abbreviated BKKBN,

was formed. One of the Family Planning Programs is

the prevention of population problems, which is an

integrated part of achieving national development

programs and aims to participate in creating

economic, spiritual, social and cultural welfare.

Family Planning Program in essence aims to increase

awareness and community participation through

maturing the age of marriage, birth arrangements and

fostering family resilience that will contribute to

increasing family welfare in order to create a happy,

prosperous small family.

Furthermore, to reduce the population and at the

same time to improve the welfare of the community,

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Definition of Family

The family is defined as a form of social structure in

which also applies an institution. The structure of a

family is father, mother, and child. Activities that

occur in the family are governed by certain rules

which the rules that apply in the family are different

from the rules that apply in other families. However,

these rules are generally in accordance with the

institutions that apply to the community concerned.

Thus a nuclear family is a social structure consisting

of fathers, mothers and children, each of which has its

own function and role. Where one of the roles and

functions of the family and members in the family is

socialization.

In community life there are three (3) family forms,

namely First, the nuclear family or family consisting

of a father, mother and unmarried child. In the nuclear

family the influence of social interaction is still very

thick because there is no division of affection or

affection, both from the husband to his wife and

parents to children. Second, an extended family

consisting of grandfather, grandmother, brother-in-

law, uncle, grandchildren and so on. In this family the

division of love will increase and parents' giving to

children will decrease. The three polygamus families,

which consist of several nuclear families led by a

family head, in this family the influence of interaction

has faded seen from the division of love has expanded

because in this case a father will give affection to

some wives and some children from several wives

who he married. So it will cause jealousy because of

the division of husband's love for his wife and father

for children. Usually in this family conflicts will

easily occur due to jealousy, especially a husband or

father who is unfair in giving love.

The family plays an important role in developing

welfare, care and basic education for family members

(Fahrudin, 2005). In all societies, the responsibility

for caring for, caring for and caring for children is

borne by the family institution (Nock, 1992). In line

with social change, the family has also experienced a

drastic change. The family is no longer the only safe

institution in providing protection and socialization to

family members. Family institutions are increasingly

critical and beset by various social problems.

Modernization of society has an impact on the

formation of new social values regarding family

institutions. Simon (1996) said humans at this time

began to emphasize individualism (individualistic)

and too much emphasis on the economy

(economistic). In this context, many people think that

the family is no different than just a stopover and no

longer a place to give birth, educate and establish

relations with their generation of heirs.

Based on Government Regulation of the Republic

of Indonesia Number 87 Year 2014 it is said that a

qualified family is a family formed based on a legal

marriage, and is characterized by being prosperous,

healthy, advanced, independent, having an ideal

number of children, forward-looking, responsible,

harmonious and piety to God the Almighty.

2.2 The Theory of Family

Based on Government Regulation No. 87 of 2014

concerning Development of Population and Family

Development, Family Planning and Family

Information Systems. It is stated that the family

function as referred to in paragraph (1) includes:

a. religious function;

b. social cultural function;

c. love function;

d. protection function;

ICOSOP 3 2019 - International Conference on Social Political Development (ICOSOP) 3

318

e. reproduction function;

f. socialization and education function;

g. economic function; and

h. environmental fostering function.

There are many models or theories about family

functioning but very few explanations regarding the

size of family functioning. Walsh (1982) provides a

comprehensive assessment model of normal family

processes. According to him, family normality can be

seen in four ways, namely; health or absence of

pathology, ideal or optimal vision of family

functioning, average statistics, normal processes

including family life cycles. When Beavers and

Hampson (1990) developed a model of family

functioning using the concepts of style and

competence. The competency dimension is used to

assess globally the quality of health or family

competence which is applied to several dimensions

and sub-dimensions, among others;

1. Family Structure, including authority/power,

coalition Parents closeness

2. Family Mythology, including belief and

perception of family

3. Negotiation, including relation to solve the

problem

4. Autonomy, including expressing expression,

responsibility and transparency/openness

5. Influence, including feeling range, mood andtone

of voice, conflict and empathy.

Dunst, Trivette and Deal (1988) suggest several

indicators of the functioning of family institutions,

namely:

1. Family values are values that are shared and

practiced by all family members.

2. Family skills view the ability of the family and its

members to survive in various situations they

face.

3. The pattern of interaction refers to the ability of

the family and its members to build and develop

patterns of social interaction both within the

family and outside the family.

2.3 Family Planning (KB)

Family Planning, according to WHO (World Health

Organization) is an action that helps individuals or

married couples to: (1) avoid unwanted births, (2) get

desirable births, (3) set intervals between births, (4)

control the time of birth in relation to husband and

wife's age , (5) determine the number of children in

the family (Hartanto, 2004).

Family planning is an effort to increase awareness

and community participation through maturing the

age of marriage, birth control, fostering family

resilience, increasing family welfare to realize a

happy and prosperous small family (Juliantoro,

2000).

Family Planning is an effort to create a quality

family through promotion, protection, and assistance

in realizing reproductive rights as well as providing

services, arrangements and support needed to form a

family with an ideal marriage age, regulating the

number, distance, and ideal age for childbearing. ,

regulate pregnancy and foster children's endurance

and well-being (BKKBN, 2015).

2.4 Family Planning (KB) Village,

Government Programs in

Managing Welfare

The KB Village was launched by the President of

the Republic of Indonesia (Ir. Joko Widodo) in

January 2016. The background for the formation of

the KB Village was formed, there are a number of

things behind it, namely: (1) The KB program no

longer resounds and sounds echoed like in the Order

era New, (2) to improve the quality of life of the

community at the village level or equivalent through

the KKBPK program and the development of related

sectors in order to create quality small families, (3)

strengthening the KKBPK program that is managed

and organized from, by and for the community, (4)

realizing Indonesia's development ideals contained in

Nawacita especially the 3rd priority agenda namely

"Starting development from the periphery by

strengthening regions and villages within the

framework of a unitary state" and the 5th Priority

Agenda, namely "Improving the quality of life of

Indonesian people", (5 ) raise and revive the family

demographic bonus that is predicted to occur in the

future a year 2010-2030. In general, the purpose of

the establishment of the KB Village is to improve the

quality of life of the community at the village level or

its equivalent through the KKBPK program and the

development of other related sectors in order to create

4 RESULT

4.1 The Perception of Ideal Family

The ideal family is everyone's dream, so parents

should strive to make the family happy as the smallest

unit in society. If the family is naturally happy to give

birth to a prosperous society and to stick to the value

of Pancasila. To keep the family away from

abandonment is the obligation of all families, both

parents and children. The person closest to the child

is the father and the mother, if the mother is

responsible for the treatment, then the father is

responsible for finding the life of his child. The father

is only obligated to provide a biological child during

a biological child in conditions that require life, he is

not obliged to provide for his child who has wealth to

sustain himself. A father who is capable but does not

provide for his son when his child in need, can be

forced by a judge or imprisoned until he is willing to

fulfill his obligations. But at our community Kokoro

to the tightest it is. Imprison parents for not being able

to fulfill or give the breadth of decent livelihood.

Disputes despite the disputes of parents and children

to the legal line, more to criminal Tindakan. For

example, violence in a family is done by one of the

family members.

4.2 The Implementation of Family

Planning (KB) Village towards the

Strengthening of Family Function

Mrs. Yanti considered that the presence of the KB

village in this village was very good because

according to her, this KB village could increase the

knowledge, skills and awareness of mothers and

family members in fostering the development of

toddlers, balanced growth of children and

adolescents, and empowering the elderly to improve

their welfare. Public Health Center (Puskesmas or

posyandu) provide various health facilities such as

immunization, provision of vitamins, weighing

infants to determine the child's development. In this

Dusun, there are activities that are made for the

elderly such as morning gymnastics, and provision of

groceries. And for teenagers, there are activities such

as mutual cooperation and recitation activities.

According to Mrs. Yanti, the facilities provided in

KB Village are adequate, such as free contraception,

a posyandu that is conducted once a month. In

addition there is also counseling conducted by the

Health Extension Workers such as Midwives and

similar institutions to increase community knowledge

about family planning. This counseling does not run

regularly.

The existence of the KB Village program in this

Dusun makes family functions more optimal.

Whether it's the function of affection (affection), the

function of religion, the function of protection, the

function of socio-culture, the function of

reproduction, the function of socialization and

education, the function of economics, and the

function of formation.

Mrs.Yanti herself is a spiral contraceptive user

who is paired at the village health center. The change

that was felt by Mrs.Yanti herself since the existence

of the KB village was that health was increasing, and

parents were increasingly encouraged to improve the

education of children and parents. And in the

experience of Mrs.Yanti who already has 3 children,

the mother always brings her toddler to the posyandu

and sends her children to early children Education

program (PAUD) and continues to provide

educational facilities to her children. With the

existence of this KB village, hopefully this program

will continue to run well so that it can improve the

quality of health from infants to the elderly.

Mrs. Supini is a midwife who is directly

responsible for implementing family planning. Supini

said that the KB program has been running for 2

years. Before being placed in Dusun XIV Percut

Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang

ICOSOP 3 2019 - International Conference on Social Political Development (ICOSOP) 3

320

Regency, he was placed in Bagan. However, the KB

Village program is not going well because the people

who refuse are limited in their number of children.

According to him, the village program of Dusun

XIV, went well and the community was enthusiastic

and supported this program. The program that was

running was also well scheduled, 2 weeks before the

arrival of the KB Mobile, Mrs. Supini would deliver

it to the community to attend. However, specific

programs do not yet exist, there are only basic

programs such as contraception, for other counseling

is still not running.

The family planning program that runs also

cannot be separated from permission from her

husband. Before running program, the wife will ask

for approval from her husband. Fortunately, in Dusun

XIV, all husbands are very supportive. Family

planning programs are still limited in practice because

men feel they do not need this program. For men, this

program is more effective for women only. However,

Dusun XIV men actively participated in every

counseling that was held.

Teenagers in Dusun XIV are also enthusiastic in

participating in counseling. No teenagers get married

early, the average age of married couples is over the

age of 20 years. He hopes that there are no couples

who get married early, aka not yet entering the mature

age to get married. This will also support the birth rate

to decrease.

Mrs. Atut is a resident who uses contraception

Mrst does not always follow counseling. According

to Atut herself, she agreed with the presence of the

KB village because they could get health facilities.

This mother always takes her child to the posyandu

when she was a toddler. The existence of the KB

Village program in this Dusun makes family

functions more optimal. Whether it's the function of

affection (affection), the function of religion, the

function of protection, the function of socio-culture,

the function of reproduction, the function of

socialization and education, the function of

economics, and the function of formation. He felt the

positive impact of the KB village program.

Mrs Suyatni is one of the KB post guards. This is

also supported by Mrs Suyatni's house factor which is

only adjacent to the KB Kampung Pos location. Mrs

Suyatni, who usually cleans the KB Village post and

reminds the public of the counseling that will be

carried out.

According to Mrs. Suyatni, the movers of the KB

Village were students. The student in question is also

a Flores student who is conducting research in the

Mangrove KB village. Mrs. Suyatni explained that

the KB Village Post was still in the expanding stage.

The post is also not utilized properly because if there

is counseling, it will be carried out at the midwife's

house. The KB village post was instead used as a

place for community gatherings for events.

Counseling programs are also sometimes

implemented at the Posyandu of Percut Village. The

tools available are also already available on the KB

KB mobile Service and sometimes from the Public

Health Center (puskesmas).

5 CONCLUSION

According to Meter and Horn Policy implementation

is actions carried out by individuals or groups of

government and private that are directed to achieve

the goals set in previous policy decisions (Subarsono,

AG. 2005).

Running the KB Village program needs to involve

many parties, the article is that it is an easy task that

can be done alone. The number of people involved in

this program is on the one hand a positive value, on

the other hand it can bring up the negative side if the

potential is not well-integrated and well managed.

There needs to be a strong and compact team that can

unite all the potential to unleash sectoral egos which

is still very common.

However, to improve the implementation of the

KB Village program, the most important thing is to

strengthen the commitment or political will of policy

makers at various levels from the Regional

Government to the Village Government to provide

total support for each planned program. In addition,

eliminating sectoral egos is an important key to the

success of the KB Village program, because the

implementation of this program is not solely the

responsibility of the population office but is related to

Health, Education, Economy, Community

Empowerment to the provision of infrastructure.

Cross-sectoral development and partnerships involve

the roles of various parties such as the private sector,

providers and other stakeholders (Raikhani, et.al.,

2018).
