Social Transformation and Cultural Interaction in Community Service Programs in Kendari Village: Voices and Experiences of the Community in the Empowerment Process
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the subjective experiences of the Kendari Village community in facing social and cultural changes resulting from interactions within the Community Service Program (PPM). Using an interpretative phenomenological approach, the study examines how villagers perceive their interactions with PPM participants and how these changes impact their daily lives. The findings indicate that the program has brought significant social transformation, including openness to innovation and enhanced individual capacity. However, challenges remain in accepting these changes, particularly among more traditional groups. This study highlights the importance of a community-based approach in implementing empowerment programs to ensure that the resulting changes are both accepted and sustainable.
