This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the dynamics of social interaction of prisoners in the Class II B Detention Center of Serang City, Banten Province. The focus of the research is the pattern of relationships between prisoners as well as interactions between prisoners and detention officers that affect social life in the environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the associative and dissociative processes that occur among prisoners and explore the factors that influence the pattern of social interaction in detention centers. The research methodology used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. This approach allows in-depth exploration of complex social dynamics in closed environments such as prisons. The results show that social interactions between prisoners include associative processes, such as cooperation in daily activities, and dissociative processes, such as competition and conflict triggered by limited resources and social hierarchy. In addition, interactions between prisoners and officers often vary, ranging from formal relationships in coaching activities to informal relationships that are emotional in nature. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the pattern of social interaction in detention centers is strongly influenced by the social background of prisoners, family support, and the existing hierarchical structure. This research provides recommendations for the management of detention centers that are more inclusive and support the rehabilitation process of prisoners.

The support of husbands and family members in safe childbirth preparation is crucial for pregnant women. Husbands serve as both emotional and physical companions, providing comfort and security during the birthing process. Challenges encountered in community service partnerships related to spousal and familial support in safe childbirth preparation can encompass several aspects. Firstly, a lack of understanding among husbands and family members regarding the childbirth process can result in minimal emotional and physical support. Many husbands do not participate in prenatal education, leaving them unprepared to provide the necessary support. Secondly, cultural norms that limit the husband's role in childbirth can pose challenges. In some communities, there is still a belief that the husband's role is insignificant in childbirth preparation, leading to decreased participation. This can diminish the pregnant woman's self-confidence and create discomfort. Based on the challenges faced by partners, the proposed solution is the creation of engaging informational media to facilitate the dissemination of information to the public, particularly to husbands and family members, in support of safe childbirth preparation, a program referred to as DuGaLiMan. This initiative was implemented in September 2024 at Babirik Community Health Center, Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The DuGaLiMan program, which focuses on spousal and familial support in safe childbirth preparation at Babirik Community Health Center, demonstrates its success in achieving its objectives. The program has successfully increased the knowledge and awareness of husbands and family members regarding the importance of their roles during the childbirth process. With appropriate education, they can provide the necessary emotional and physical support to pregnant women, creating a safer and more comfortable environment.

This type of research is empirical normative research using interviews and data analysis methods that are carried out qualitatively. In this study, the author uses a type of empirical normative research or legal research that examines written law from the aspects of theory, history, philosophy, comparison, structure and composition, scope and material, general explanation of article by article, formality and binding force of a law but not binding aspects of its application or implementation. The results of the study show the legal basis for considering the regulation of fine sanctions in Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the health of mothers, infants and children under five, because there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center which can be at risk of maternal and infant mortality rates. This happens because there are still pregnant women who give birth at home because of impromptu childbirth so that childbirth does not occur in health facilities but outside health facilities or at home and childbirth is still helped by birth attendants. The risk of maternal and infant mortality can still occur. The effectiveness of the enforcement of Kupang Mayor Regulation Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Infants and Children Under Five through the regulation of fine sanctions in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center has been effective for health workers. For the public, there are still many who do not know about the Regulation of the Mayor of Kupang Number 7 of 2013 concerning the Health of Mothers, Babies and Children under five so that there are still incidents of childbirth outside health facilities and childbirth assisted by shamans. Knowledge about childbirth, attitudes and family support in this study also has an important role in determining mothers to have a safe delivery. It is suggested that new regional regulations need to be socialized to the community so that existing regulations can run effectively. An obedient society is also a basic thing so that regulations can run effectively.

Education plays a very important role in the process of improving the quality of human resources. Improving the quality of education is a process that is integrated with the process of improving the quality of human resources themselves. Improving the quality of human resources, namely development in building self-identity, can be achieved through a process that involves in-depth reflection and exploration of individual potential. This research aims to analyze the role of the environment and the elements of creativity, feeling and initiative in building self-confidence as part of forming one's identity. The environment, whether family, education, or society, plays a major supporting role in providing space that facilitates self-exploration. Meanwhile, the elements of creativity, feeling, and initiative become the internal foundation that moves individuals to recognize potential, face challenges, and achieve their life goals. With this development of identity, it is hoped that this can be a solution for them to gain progress, namely self-confidence, by helping to contribute to various activities, apart from that it can also make them balanced individuals who have great concern for the environment.

Developing identity is one of the fundamental elements in building a person's character. Strong character plays an important role in facing various life challenges, both in the family, education and community environments. One aspect that can lead to optimal development of identity is through intention and encouragement to achieve clear life goals. Sincere intentions and strong drive are the driving forces that will help individuals stay focused and consistent in achieving their goals, even when faced with various obstacles and temptations. In this context, a well-defined life goal not only provides direction, but also provides deep meaning in every step taken by the individual. The process of developing identity, which is influenced by intentions and encouragement, is closely related to character formation. The character that is formed is not only visible from a person's attitudes and behavior, but also from the ability to manage emotions, make wise decisions, and be responsible for the actions taken. Over time, developing your identity will increase self-confidence, strengthen mental resilience, and foster a sense of responsibility towards yourself and others. This article aims to explain the importance of intention and drive in developing one's identity to build one's character, as well as how this process is related to achieving larger life goals. In its implementation, a supportive environment such as family, school and community plays a significant role in forming and strengthening a person's identity. Character education, in this case, has an important role in guiding individuals to develop positive intentions and providing the encouragement needed to achieve their life goals. Therefore, it is important for each individual to have strong intentions and the right encouragement in the process of developing their identity, in order to achieve life goals that are in line with positive values ​​that can enrich their lives and those of the surrounding community.

Self-identity formation is essential to individual development and is influenced by social environments and life experiences. This study draws on Erikson's theory of psychosocial development and Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of human development to understand how the interaction between the environment and individual experiences shapes identity formation in response to expectations and efforts. Social environments, such as family, friends, and community, provide a framework of values and norms that shape an individual’s initial identity, while personal experiences in managing expectations and efforts either reinforce or challenge this framework. The study concludes that balancing environmental support and experiential challenges enables individuals to develop a strong and flexible identity. The implications of this research highlight the importance of creating environments that support self-reflection and learning from experiences to foster healthy identity development.
