Paulo Freire's Dialogical Approach in the Implementation Program of the Kampung KB Bintaran, Yogyakarta City

Kampung KB Bintaran is located in Wirogunan Village, Mergangsan District, Yogyakarta City, DI Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The Indonesian Government launched Kampung KB to create quality small families. The Kampung KB has experienced quite significant growth, especially in the success of the KKBPK program, Nawa Cita Indonesia, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2030. The success of the Kampung KB program is reflected in several aspects. First, control the population; second, improve the quality of the population as measured by increasing resilience and prosperity by implementing the eight family functions. The Kampung KB Program leads to community empowerment. This program adheres to a top-down system from the central government, City Government, and BKKBN. In general, top-down system empowerment in program implementation comes from the government or institutions to the community. However, the implementation of the program in Kampung KB Bintaran does not entirely come from the government. There are several activities implemented as a result of community dialogue so that the community feels appreciated, respected, and heard. This research aims to describe Paulo Freire's dialogical approach between companions and the community in implementing the Kampung KB program. The method used in this research is an empirical study by interviewing residents and PKB in Kampung KB Bintaran. The research results state that Paulo Freire's dialogical approach is implemented through humility, hope, faith, love, and critical thinking. The dialogic approach occurs in several activities, namely the monthly POKTAN cadre coordination meeting which produces program proposals from the community and consultation services by PKB for every resident in Kampung KB Bintaran.
