Abstract


The research focuses on the factors that influence poverty and mitigation efforts that can be made to reduce the poverty level in this village. Through a comprehensive analysis, this research will identify strategies and policies that can be implemented to improve the welfare of rural communities. This study aims to fill the gap in knowledge about the poverty of an agrarian society in the village. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and analysis of documents related to poverty and socio-economic conditions in the Perangian Village. Using a case study approach, this research will analyze the factors that significantly influence the level of poverty in the village. The research respondents were from agrarian communities in poor conditions in Perangian Village. The results of this study indicate: (1) several factors affect the poverty level in the Perangian Village. These factors include low levels of education, limited access to resources and technology, low quality of infrastructure, and lack of decent job opportunities. (2) mitigation efforts undertaken to reduce poverty. First, it is necessary to increase access to education for rural communities to have better skills and knowledge to face economic challenges. Second, it is necessary to strengthen infrastructure, including transportation and access to electricity, to improve village connectivity with other regions. Third, training programs and capital assistance are needed to encourage the development of micro and small businesses in villages. Finally, it is important to build cooperation between the government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector in implementing poverty alleviation programs.
