Abstract:
Babinsa and Bhabinkamtimbas have a strategic role in increasing public participation to strengthen national defense. One of the activities that have the potential to be a way to increase community participation is the regular village visits, which are the duties and functions of Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas. This study aims to analyze community participation in strengthening national defense and analyze the synergy between Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas in sambang village. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Sampling was done using purposive sampling. The results show: 1) Community participation still needs to be improved. This is related to the ineffectiveness of the management information system applied to Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas in order to increase public participation in order to strengthen the National Defense; 2) the synergy between Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas is not optimal because the capabilities of Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas are not yet optimal, systems and methods (software) are not optimal, and regional development in the fields of geography, demography and social conditions is also not optimal. The solutions from this research are: 1) developing and strengthening a management information system; 2) improving the capacity of Babinsa and Bhabinkamtibmas, 3) restructuring SOPs; 4) develop regional mapping.
