Summary: | The research of this paper was carried out in Dusun Tanggungrejo, Desa Karangpatihan, Kecamatan Balong, Kabupaten Ponorogo, a village that seeks to empower their fellow villagers who are down syndrome. The paper answers the question of does the empowerment by the village help the disabled reach their wellbeing. In answering that question, this article uses James Midgley concept of three wellbeing indicators, including the ability to manage social problems; fulfilment of their need; and the potential of the social opportunity. The result of this paper is presented qualitatively to describe the social wellbeing and social activity of persons with down-syndrome. The data was collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The result of this research shows that those with mild and modest syndrome reach the wellbeing. While those who have a severe syndrome, fail to derive their welfare.
[Penelitian ini dilakukan di Dusun Tanggungrejo, Desa Karangpatihan Kecamatan Balong Kabupaten Ponorogo, sebuah dusun yang puluhan warganya adalah tunagrahita dan mendapatkan beberapa pelatihan, bantuan, dan pemberdayaan yang diberikan masyarakat untuk warga tunagrahita. Penlitian ini menjawab pertanyaan apakah upaya warga tersebut dapat menyejahterakan para tunagrahita? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, peneliti menggunakan teori James Midgley tentang tiga ukuran kesejahteraan sosial yang meliputi: kemampuan mengelola masalah sosial dengan baik, kebutuhan tercukupi, dan terbukanya peluang sosial di masyarakat. Penelitian disajikan dalam bentuk deskriptif kualitatif untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peristiwa, kondisi kesejahteraan sosial, dan aktivitas sosial warga tunagrahita. Data digali dengan metode observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa mayoritas warga tunagrahita berkategori ringan dan sedang sudah dapat dikatakan sejahtera. Sementara warga tunagrahita kategori berat tidak mencapai sejahtera.] |
