Kontribusi Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) sebagai Kelompok Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Mencapai SDGs di Perkotaan

Abstract

The high poverty rate and limited social participation in urban areas are key reasons for selecting this community service topic. Urban regions such as Surakarta City, particularly Purwosari Village, face significant social challenges that demand the active involvement of local communities. The Family Welfare Empowerment group (PKK) exists to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The outcomes of PKK activities demonstrate that this empowerment group plays an active role in enhancing family education, health services, skills training, and the strengthening of social solidarity in urban settings. Furthermore, PKK serves as a platform for revitalizing social interaction in urban environments, which are often characterized by individualism, while also reinforcing community social capital. These findings affirm that PKK functions not only as a program implementer but also as a strategic agent of social change in advancing community-based sustainable development.
