Poverty in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) remains a significant issue despite a decline in poverty rates in recent years. This study aims to identify the factors influencing poverty in DIY from social, economic, and structural perspectives, as well as to evaluate policies that can address this issue. The method used in this research is a literature review through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), examining various relevant sources on poverty in DIY and the poverty alleviation policies implemented in the region. The results of the study indicate that poverty in DIY is caused by several main factors, such as income inequality, low-quality education, low skill levels among the population, and limited access to business capital and productive resources. One policy that has proven effective in reducing poverty is the provision of access to capital and productive resources through microcredit schemes and agrarian reform. These programs not only provide capital but also enhance the ability of the poor to manage their businesses. These findings offer important insights into understanding poverty in DIY and suggest that policies supporting the empowerment of the poor through education, skills, and economic access can be an effective solution to reduce poverty in the long term..

Extreme poverty remains a major challenge in rural areas of Indonesia, including Nagori Bandar Manik, Pamatang Sidamanik District, Simalungun Regency. The 2025 UINSU Community Service Program (KKN) was carried out to empower local communities through various activities covering economic, educational, religious, social-environmental, and health aspects. This program employed a qualitative approach by involving active community participation in needs assessment, socialization, training, and evaluation. In the economic aspect, workshops on dishwashing liquid and herbal pesticide production were implemented as alternative household businesses. The educational sector included religious moderation through a short movie screening Mabbere, anti-bullying campaigns, ecoprint totebag training, and teaching at kindergarten, elementary, and junior high school levels. In the religious field, activities included Qur’an learning after Maghrib with children and Yasin recitals for both men and women. The social-environmental aspect was realized through community clean-up, educational boards on waste decomposition, distribution of garbage bins, and environmental awareness campaigns. Meanwhile, the health aspect focused on education about clean and healthy living behaviors, stunting prevention campaigns, and community exercise. The findings revealed improvements in entrepreneurial skills, children’s literacy, spiritual values, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. The implication highlights that multidimensional community empowerment can serve as an effective strategy to reduce extreme poverty and promote sustainable village development.  

This article examines the role of students of the Real Work Lecture (KKN) of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra in Stabat Lama Village in supporting community development through an integrative approach that covers three main areas, namely religious moderation, stunting prevention, and extreme poverty alleviation. The religious moderation program is carried out through Maghrib Mengaji, Gebyar Islami, and interfaith dialogue, which has been proven to strengthen tolerance and social harmony in the community. The stunting prevention program is realized through the provision of supplemental food (PMT) based on local ingredients, which is able to improve the nutritional status of toddlers while preventing the risk of new stunting. Furthermore, the community economic empowerment program is carried out through ecoprint training with eco pounding techniques that produce works of selling value and open up opportunities for environment-based businesses. The results of the activities show that the three programs complement each other and contribute to improving health, economic independence, and socio-religious harmony. The real impact of the implementation of this program is not only felt in the short term, but also provides the foundation for the development of a more independent and sustainable society. Through the active involvement of students, KKN activities succeeded in connecting academic theory with real practice in the field, so that it was able to provide contextual solutions to village problems. The empowerment carried out also emphasizes inclusive community participation, especially vulnerable groups such as housewives and toddlers, so as to provide more equitable benefits. Thus, KKN in Stabat Lama Village represents a holistic, sustainable, and relevant service model to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Poverty is one of the main problems that hinder regional development. Deli Serdang Regency shows a fluctuating trend in the number of poor people from year to year. To support government policies in overcoming poverty, an accurate forecasting method is needed to predict the number of poor people in the future. This study uses the Single Moving Average (SMA) method with two period variations, namely n = 2 and n = 3, based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Deli Serdang Regency for 2017–2023. The forecasting results show that the SMA method with n = 3 provides better accuracy than n = 2, as indicated by the Mean Squared Error (MSE) value of 21.38, Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of 4.44, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 3.52%. These findings indicate that the SMA method is capable of providing fairly accurate predictions and can be used as a basis for regional development policy planning to reduce poverty in Deli Serdang Regency in 2024.

The Maluku Islands are a high-poverty region in Indonesia. The region consists of 2 provinces, namely Maluku province and North Maluku province. There are 21 districts/cities in the region, with 17 regencies and 4 municipalities. The poverty rate in this region is a challenge that always wants to be studied with a socio-population approach and a mathematical statistics approach. One method or approach in analyzing poverty is Principal Component Analysis (PCA).  PCA has the advantage of simplifying information from various variables to several principal components without losing much information and can overcome the problem of multiple linearity by changing variables that correlate with freely related components. The purpose of this research is to identify poverty in districts/municipalities in Maluku Islands using the PCA approach. The results showed that the components formed by the PCA method were formed in 2 factors. Factor 1 consists of GRDP (X2), Life Expectancy Rate (X3), Unemployment Rate (X4) and Percentage of Population (X6). Meanwhile, factor 2 consists of 2 variables, namely the Poverty Level (X1) and TPAK (X5).

This article discusses the issue of poverty in Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, with a focus on the analysis of poverty data from 2019 to 2024. Despite Kalimantan's wealth of natural resources, economic disparities and uneven distribution remain significant challenges. This research uses data from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik) to demonstrate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused an increase in the number of people living in poverty due to income reductions and job losses. By utilizing Microsoft Excel, data visualization is employed to present information clearly and concisely, making it easier to understand the poverty situation in the region. The findings of this research recommend that poverty alleviation policies be more focused and data-driven, and encourage further research to understand the factors influencing poverty. It is hoped that this article will provide valuable insights for the development of policies and poverty alleviation efforts in Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan Island.

Poverty in Aceh Province is a significant challenge with variation between districts/cities due to differences in access to education, health, job opportunities, and infrastructure. This study aims to group districts/cities in Aceh based on poverty indicators in 2021 in order to produce a more targeted policy basis. The research data consists of 23 poverty indicators obtained from secondary sources. Cluster analysis is applied using hierarchical (average linkage) and non-hierarchical (K-Means) methods to identify poverty patterns between regions. The results of the hierarchical cluster show that there are two main groups, namely the first cluster has low poverty rates, higher education, strong purchasing power, and low unemployment, while the second cluster has the opposite characteristics. The non-hierarchical analysis (K-Means) produced five clusters with significant differences in poverty levels, labor force participation, education, and economy. These findings provide a basis for the Aceh government to design poverty alleviation policies that focus on the specific needs of each cluster to accelerate the improvement of welfare in all districts/cities in Aceh Province.

Poverty is one of the main issues in Indonesia although many policies have been implemented by the government to overcome this problem. With this problem, a study was conducted which aims to identify factors that affect poverty in East Java in 2023 using the principal component analysis (PCA) method. PCA is a multivariate analysis technique used to extract information from correlated data, so as to summarize several variables into principal components. In this study, the variables used include the number of poor people, percentage of poor people, poverty severity index, open unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and life expectancy from 38 districts/cities in East Java. It was found that the data characteristics had low variance with the exception of one variable, and met the assumptions of multivariate normal distribution, interrelationship between variables, data sufficiency, and correlation between variables suitable for PCA. Factor analysis with PCA produces two main components, namely community living conditions and labor conditions, which can represent the original variables in their influence on poverty in East Java. Suggestions from this study are expected to be a reference for policy makers in improving community welfare and labor conditions in East Java. Future research is expected to add related variables to obtain more detailed results.

Dinas Sosial (Dinsos) mewajibkan ruamh tangga miskin mengikuti persyaratan yang ditetapkan pada Dinsos Kota Binjai. Adapun ketetapan tersebut adalah rumah tangga yang sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan Dinsos dan memenuhi syarat. Penerimaan Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) sering kali tidak tepat sasaran, menyebabkan ketidakmampuan program dalam mencapai tujuan utamanya, yaitu mengurangi kemiskinan. Masalah ini dapat berasal dari beberapa faktor yang kompleks. Pertama, proses identifikasi dan verifikasi penerima PKH kurang akurat atau rentan terhadap penyalahgunaan atau manipulasi (Kemensos, 2021). Agar tujuan ini dapat berhasil, maka dibutuhkan sebuah metode yang dapat digunakan untuk pembobotan dan pengurutan setiap komponen yang ada, mulai dari yang paling tinggi hingga rendah yaitu Multi Factor Evaluation Process (MFEP). Multi Factor Evaluation Process (MFEP) merupakan metode perangkingan yang banyak digunakan dalam sistem pendukung keputusan. MFEP merupakan teknik pengambilan keputusan berdasarkan sejumlah kriteria atau faktor yang memiliki nilai-nilai dan setiap kriteria memiliki bobot dengan pertimbangan tingkat kepentingan yang tepat dengan membandingkan kriteria lainnya. Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penerima, pendapatan rumah tangga, anak sekolah, luas rumah, jenis dinding rumah, penyandang disabilitas, sumber air dan jumlah tanggungan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah dengan dibangunnya sistem pendukung ini, dapat membantu Dinas Sosial Kota Binjai dalam menentukan penerima Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) serta penggunaan metode MFEP dalam sistem pendukung keputusan penerimaan PKH meningkatkan akurasi dalam menentukan calon penerima yang layak. Metode ini mampu mengolah berbagai kriteria yang telah ditetapkan, sehingga hasil keputusan lebih objektif dan adil dibandingkan dengan penilaian manual.
