Analisis Model Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Berbasis Potensi Lokal Singkong Melalui Pendekatan Enabling Empowering Protecting Di Desa Paringan Ponorogo

Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to analyze community empowerment based on local cassava potential through an enabling, empowering, and protecting approach in Paringan Village, Jenangan Subdistrict, Ponorogo Regency, as well as to identify the supporting factors and barriers in the empowerment process. The study employed a qualitative, case-study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants included village officials, MSME operators, workers, and other stakeholders involved in cassava-based business development. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, drawing on the enabling, empowering, and protecting approaches. The results indicate that the enabling stage has opened economic opportunities, although participation remains uneven. The empowering stage is progressing well through capacity building, business development, and market expansion—including into international markets. The protecting stage indicates relatively stable economic independence supported by business legality. Supporting factors include the role of the village government, collaboration, and access to resources, while barriers include low digital literacy, limited human resources, and weak business operator succession. Overall, empowerment has progressed fairly well, but there is a need to strengthen participation and the sustainability of human resources.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis potensi lokal singkong melalui pendekatan enabling, empowering, dan protecting di Desa Paringan, Kecamatan Jenangan, Kabupaten Ponorogo, serta mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam proses pemberdayaan tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif, studi kasus, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian meliputi pemerintah desa, pelaku UMKM, pekerja, dan pihak terkait yang terlibat dalam pengembangan usaha berbasis singkong. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman dengan mengacu pada pendekatan enabling, empowering, dan protecting. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tahap enabling telah membuka peluang ekonomi meskipun partisipasi belum merata. Tahap empowering berjalan dengan baik melalui peningkatan kapasitas, pengembangan usaha, dan perluasan pasar hingga luar negeri. Tahap protecting menunjukkan kemandirian ekonomi yang relatif stabil dengan dukungan legalitas usaha. Faktor pendukung meliputi peran pemerintah desa, kolaborasi, dan akses sumber daya, sedangkan hambatan mencakup rendahnya literasi digital, keterbatasan SDM, dan lemahnya regenerasi pelaku usaha. Secara keseluruhan, pemberdayaan telah berjalan cukup baik, namun perlu penguatan pada partisipasi dan keberlanjutan SDM.
