Abstract:
Community Empowerment is an effort to make people empowered through learning so that they are able to manage and be responsible for development programs in their community. The learning is implemented in a series of community capacity building, in which the implementation must be adjusted to the characteristics and capabilities of the local community because basically each community is unique. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the process of community empowerment activities in Kampung Mangoet, Bandarharjo Urban Village in terms of community capacity development aspects. The research objective is to study the implementation of community capacity building in Bandarharjo. The approach used in this research was deductive with qualitative descriptive analysis method. The results of the study show that community capacity building activities in Bandarharjo have been carried out in accordance with the principle of empowerment and have succeeded in changing the level of public awareness and increasing their understanding to play a role in the development in their community. The people in Bandarharjo have realized the concept of empowerment and understood to use it for the benefit of their community. However, to get to the stage of habituation still requires more learning so that they are truly prepared to take full responsibility in managing their community development. The community is also ready to continue the empowerment program that has been running, even though it cannot be carried out independently by the community itself and still requires intensive assistance from outside parties and continuous funding assistance.
