KEY WORDS
Community, Klaten, people-based economy program, welfare.
Poverty until nowadays is still the biggest concerned problem of Indonesian that has not been solved completely yet. Hence, Poverty Reduction Program, both in Indonesia generally and in Central Java specifically, is indeed one of the urgent programs to implement. Poverty is a problem of development marked by unemployment, backwardness, and adversity. The case of unemployment also attracts attention in order to develop economy that requires equity. World Bank and UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) apply definition of poverty that covers aspects like basic needs, lifestyle determined by person, choice, asset, capability, social inclusion, inequality, human rights, settlement, vulnerability, empowerment, and subjective welfare (Locatelli, 2009; World Bank, 2008). World Bank has defined poverty in global parameter which is poverty is a matter of lackness with income minimum US$ 1 per day (Albornoz, 2007).
Based on the data from Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS, 2015), the total of poor community in Central Java Province is 4.505.780 people (the second highest in Java island) or 14,44% from the total of Central Java community. Many poverty reduction programs have been implemented by both Central Government and Central Java Province Government. In 2015, the government implemented Social Protection Extension and Acceleration Program (P4S) in the effort of decreasing poverty problems that arise because of fuel subsidy reduction.
P4S Program implemented in Central Java Province especially Klaten Regency consists of Rice for Poor (Raskin), Poor Students Assistance (Bantuan Siswa Miskin/BSM) and Household-targeted Social Assistance (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH). The aims of
conducting Rice for Poor program is to reduce Targeted Household (RTS) expense through fulfilling half of basic needs in form of rice. Poor Students Assistance (BSM) is a help of government in form of personal assistance given directly for students from all education levels (Elementary School/Islamic Elementary School, Junior High School/Islamic Junior High School, Senior High School/Vocational High School/Islamic Senior High School) coming from poor family based on the determined criteria. Household-targeted Social Assistance (PKH) is a cash-giving program for a very poor household based on requirements and provisions that have been determined.
Rice for Poor and Poor Students Assistance programs have aims to fulfill poor families' needs directly, which are through staple food and education fee. While, Household-targeted Social Assistance program (PKH) focuses more on specific and targeted productive elements in which one of them can be done through Productive Economy Business (Usaha Ekonomi Produktif/UEP) by Joint Business Group (Kelompok Usaha Bersama/KUBE). The existence of Joint Business Group (KUBE-PKH) for a Very Poor Household (Rumah Tangga Sangat Miskin/RTSM) in community is a form of people-based economy program realization. This program will be the place to improve productive economy business especially in enhancing community welfare. Todaro (2005) expressed that there is a close relation between unemployment, income inequality, and poverty. Generally, those who do not get regular job are included to poor community group.
Even if some poverty reduction programs have been conducted, but the fact keeps showing that the total of poor society does not reduce significantly. Poverty rate in Klaten from 2011 to 2014 decreased in which it can be seen that the poverty rate in 2011 was 17,95%, and in 2012 it was 16,7%, in 2013 it became 15,6%, and in 2014 it decreased to be 14,58%. The highest total of poor people is in Bayat District as much 21.893 people, followed by Trucuk District as much 17.449 people.
Based on the aforementioned explanation, so evaluation is highly needed to know how far the effect of economy program realization in enhancing community's welfare. Besides, the result of the evaluation also can be used to make a decision whether the economy program realization can be continued or needs to arrange other programs for the sake of achieving society welfare of Klaten Regency.
The research questions in this study are: 1) how are the efforts of Klaten Regency government in enhancing community welfare through people-based economy program realization?; 2) what factors that influence the efforts of Klaten Regency government in enhancing community welfare through people-based economy program realization?
The objectives of this present research are: 1) to know the efforts of Klaten Regency government in enhancing community welfare through people-based economy program realization; 2) to know what factors that influence the efforts of Klaten Regency government in enhancing community welfare through people-based economy program realization.
METHODS OF RESEARCH
The present study focuses on the realization of People-Based Economy program in enhancing community's welfare in Klaten Regency, Central Java which is P4S program comprising of Rice for Poor (Raskin), Poor Students Assistance (BSM) and Household-targeted Assistance Program (PKH). The present research uses qualitative research method. According to Sugiono (1995: 4), qualitative research method is a research method used to analyze the experienced object condition in which the researcher is a key instrument. Hence, in analysis, it also needs a method that is different from qualitative research itself.
Regarding with this, the researcher utilizes interactive analysis model designed by Miles & Huberman (1998: 45). In the analysis method, data consist of three componenets: data reduction, data presentation, and decision making and its verification (Sutopo, 2002: 91). Those three components' activities are in form of interactions with its data collection method uses cycle process. The three components are included in the analysis process, related each other as well as determining final analysis. The figure of the analysis is presented as following:

Referring to the observation result in the field, the aspect of responsibility is often related to the reliable budget management of regional government. In cases that are frequently found in the field on other government programs like program of Central Java government through Social Department, it can be stated that the government has been running poverty reduction in Central Java Province conducted by fund allocation from both Regional Government Budget (APBD) and Central Government Budget (APBN). For 2014, the poverty reduction programs conducted by Social Department of Central Java Province are:
1. Poor people handling program through Social Empowerment of Indigenous Communities Program (PS-KAT) as much 200 Families (20 Joint Business Groups/KUBE) spread in 5 Regencies covering Grobogan Regency, Blora Regency, Sragen Regency, Kendal Regency, and Wonosobo Regency with budget as much Rp. 400.000.000,- (four hundred millions rupiah).
2. Poverty Reduction of Village with total Rp. 3.377.000.000,- (Three Billions three hundreds seventy seven millions rupiah) with targets 1.200 people gathered in 120 Joint Business Groups/KUBE that will get assistance facilities @ Rp. 20.000.000,-(Twenty thousand millions rupiah) with activity sites in Temanggung, Purworejo, Blora, and Jepara Regencies.
3. Poverty Reduction of Urban with total Rp. 2.350.520.000,- (Two billions three hundreds five thousand millions five hundreds twenty thousands rupiah) with targets 800 people gathered in 80 Joint Business Groups/KUBE that will get assistance facilities @ Rp. 20.000.000,- (Twenty thousand millions rupiah) with activity sites in in Demak, Pati, and Pekalongan.
4. Even if some poverty reduction programs have been conducted, but the fact shows that the total of poor people do not decrease significantly. According to research done by Development and Research Board of Central Java Province, the problems faced in realizing poverty reduction can be classified into policy scale, concept, implementation, and participation.
5. From policy perspective, many policies issued by ministries and departments aiming to reduce poverty are not in line. On the perspectives of concept and implementation, poverty reduction programs are frequently not effective and there is no evaluation towards the success of the program.
6. The increase of budget and poverty activities is not in line with the decrease of poverty itself. On one side, budget politics both in center and in region do not support poverty reduction yet simply because there is a problem in determining the target of poverty reduction.
7. On the other hand, there are some problems that arise from poor people themselves, regarding to mindset, attitude, and culture that do not support changes. Mental attitude that does not expect changes becomes the main challenge.
8. The development of mindset and mental attitude are one of the most important ways to strive for poverty reduction. Therefore, in the policy concept of poverty reduction, empowerment needs to be the main approach by prioritizing independence concept. Poverty reduction should not prioritize direct assistance like Rice for Poor (Raskin) and Temporary Direct Assistance for Community (BLSM), but it should prioritize effective and specific productive elements in which it can be done through Productive Economy Enterprises (UEP) by Joint Business Group (KUBE).
Household-targeted Social Assistance (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH). Based on the result of survey, it is found that there are 80% informants stating that the realization of PKH program is punctual and there are 20% informants assessing that the realization of PKH Program is not punctual yet.
Based on the research conducted in field, it is found that the recipients of PKH Program are required to sign an agreement in which its content is that the Selected Recipients Candidate must sign an agreement that in the period of getting assistance, they will: (1) Send children aged 7-15 years old and children aged 16-18 years old to attend school but they do not finisih nine-year compulsory education yet; (2) Bring children aged 0-6
years old to health facility in accordance with health procedure of PKH for children; and (3) For pregnant mothers, they must check their health up and their fetus to health facility in accordance with health procedure of PKH for pregnant mothers.

The components that become the main focus are health and education aspects. The main goal of PKH in Health is to enhance health status of mothers and children in Indonesia, especially for a very poor community, through incentives giving to have a preventive health visit (it is prevention and not a cure). All PKH participants are the recipients of free health service provided by Poor Health Assurance (Askeskin) Program and other programs that are for poor people. Thus, PKH card can be used as identity card to get the service. The education component in PKH is developed to increase participation rate of nine-year compulsory education and as an effort to reduce child workers in a very poor family. The children recipients of PKH in Education which aged 7-18 years old and do not accomplish nine-year compulsory education yet must register themselves first in formal school or non formal school and they must attend classes at least 85% meetings.
The reality in the field reveals that there are 25.878 Targeted Households (RTS) will be sent to join Household-targeted Social Assistance (PKH). The total is the validation result conducted by team. Previously, the total of Targeted Household (RTS) achieves 30.257 families, but after validation, it reduces to 4.379 families. The validation process was conducted by central government because the data was obtained from Social Protection Program Survey (PPLS) 2011. There are 4.379 families which are considered not fulfilling the requirements to join the program. The result is then followed up by team of Klaten Regency.
Reliability of PKH Program. Based on the survey result, it reveals that 86,6% informants assume that the realization of PKH Program is reliable and 13,4% informants assess that PKH program realization is not reliable yet.

PKH is an inter-ministerial and institutional program because its main actors are from National Development Planning Board, Department of Social, Department of Health, Department of National Education, Department of Religion, Department of Informatics and
Communication, and Central Bureau of Statistics. PKH is more concerned on the effort to develop social protection system for community. This program is prioritized more on giving cash assistance for poor people (Very Poor Household (Rumah Tangga Sangat Miskin / RSTM) that fulfill requirements regarding to the effort to enhance human resources through education and health. The amount of cash assistance for PKH Participants is various depending on the numbers of family members counted in assistance targets, both components of health and education. The amount of this assistance can be changed depending on the condition of participant family in accordance with prevailing requirements.
The factors that influence the efforts of Klaten Regency government in enhancing community's welfare through people-based economy program realization:
Communication Factor. The interview result expresses that the problem of communication is shown by the problem in data collection. The problem in field makes communication not run well so that the effort to prevent is slow as well. The problems that arise are empty house, uncompleted address, unknown address, and the household moves. These should be handled soon and the data should be fixed immediately minimum once a year through data checking. Other problems that are also faced are in terms of distributing Rice for Poor (Raskin), BSM, PKH in the realization of people-based economy program, in the update of data if Targeted Household (RTS) is empty, address is not completed, address is not known, the household is moved, the delivery is rejected, and the household whose all family members have passed away, so that it needs long time in its realization.
Resources Factor. The whole data result either documentation or interview shows that there are two factors of human resources aspect which are (1) supporting factor is shown in form of the owned same competence so that all TKSK is considered being able to run a duty; guidance book and some coordination are conducted to help TKSK in running their responsibilities. (2) On the other hand, there is inhibiting factor which means inability of TKSK in giving punctual and sensitive roles on misappropriation of program realization if it is found; the inability to participate in supervising the realization, and be able to balance and to communicate the problems and the findings so that it can attract attention of project leader and implementers in order to make correction and evaluation; and the inability of TKSK in giving clear guidance for community.
Disposition or Attitude Factor. The whole obtained data on aspect of disposition or attitude reveals that there are inhibiting factors indicated by: (1) the short and the hurried socialization process so that many people do not understand about P4S Program (Rice for Poor (Raskin), Poor Students Assistance (BSM), and Household-targeted Social Assistance (PKH) (2) the attitude of most people who consider that the assistance is their right and it can be used anytime. These give obstacles for program goal achievement which is using the assistance as the business capital. (3) Tendency of village officials who feel ignorant to take responsibilities to verify data of Social Protection Card (KPS) holders.
Bureaucracy Structure. Based on the whole data above, it shows that there are inhibiting factors in bureaucracy structure which are marked by: (1) its implementation is less coordinative because its data collection does not involve local village head or local government, so that its distribution is considered not effective because its data is not in line with the fact in field. It can be seen tangibly from the community which actually do not deserve, but they get the card (2) the establishment of complaint center without giving clear information and authority will not help solving the problems.
