STRATEGI PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PENGELOLAAN LENGKUAS PADA PROGRAM “KAMPUNG LAOS” DI DESA MERAH MATA, KECAMATAN BANYUASIN 1
This study examines the community empowerment strategy through galangal management in the “Kampung Laos” Program in Merah Mata Village, Banyuasin I District. This study aims to analyze how empowerment strategies are implemented in the development of galangal cultivation and in the processing of galangal derivatives. The study used a descriptive qualitative case study approach. The researcher collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This study uses Jim Ife’s empowerment theory as the basis for analysis. The study found that three main strategies achieved community empowerment: policy and planning, social and political actions, and education and awareness-raising. These three strategies encouraged active community participation, strengthened collective work and the group’s bargaining position, and increased capacity and independence in galangal management, both in cultivation and in the processing of derivative galangal products. However, the program’s implementation still faces several obstacles, including uneven community participation, dependence on external parties, limited human resources for technology use, and inadequate production facilities and market development. Thus, the Kampung Laos Program not only assists but also leads to a sustainable empowerment process based on local potential.
