Abstract


Weight less than 2500 grams is called low birth weight (BBLR). This indicates child growth and development until adulthood and shows the nutritional status of the fetus during the womb. The community-owned Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which aims to obtain common goals in BBLR control, begins with asset identification, problem analysis, and evaluation of possible planning, implementation, and utilization. The author's research focuses on finding human resource assets (HR) in controlling Low Birth Weight (BBLR) cases. This qualitative research uses the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach and uses interview methods or in-depth interviews. Snowball sampling in the Makassar Health Center area was used as an informant. The results of the study show that human assets, namely education and knowledge of pregnant women about nutritional fulfilment during pregnancy, the satisfaction of supplementary food (PMT), and kangaroo care methods by applying Islamic concepts, can be used to control cases of low birth weight (BBLR) in Makassar. This asset is beneficial in preventing low birth weight (BBLR) issues.
