Abstract

Role is a dynamic aspect in the form of actions or behaviors that

carry out rights and obligations in accordance with their position.

The role of the Social Service in its implementation turns out that

there are still many that are not running because one of the factors

that results in the high number of poverty is the character of some

residents of Sumedang regency who are not good, namely their

recognition as poor people, especially when there are programs

from the government, so it is not uncommon for poor people who

need help not to get a share in the program. This study aims to

examine the role of social services in handling the poor in Sumedang

district. This research uses a qualitative approach. The number of

informants in the study was 4 people. Data collection techniques are

carried out with interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, the data

validation technique that researchers use is triangulation. The

selection of informants is based on that the informant has knowledge,

and information regarding the subject matter carefully. The results

showed that the role of the Social Service in handling the poor in

Sumedang district is seen from the aspect of the government as a

regulator in the government's poor handling program that still does

not play an active role in improving the economy so that poverty can

be explained and resolved. The government as a dynamicator, the

Sumedang Regency government in improving the economic quality of

the community so that government programs related to handling the

poor in Sumedang Regency are still not running well. The

government as a facilitator, social service provides good services

and facilities, especially in the implementation of poverty reduction

programs, but the government as a facilitator has not played an

active role in building conditions that are conducive to the

implementation of regional development.
