TANGERANG - University of Indonesia Social Welfare Expert Prof. Isbandi Rukminto Adi said about the importance of a welfare perspective in national development strategies, especially in welcoming the 2045 Golden Indonesia Vision.
He also considered that social insecurity was increasingly complex. So that a welfare approach is needed as an ideal condition where human needs are met, social problems are controlled and social opportunities are maximized.
"Based on Law no. 11 of 2009, social welfare is defined as a condition for the fulfillment of the material, spiritual, and social needs of citizens to live decent and developing," said Isbandi when speaking at the International Conference of Social Works and Social Sciences (ICSWSS), South Tangerang, Sunday, May 18.
Isbandi also assessed that endogenus development could emphasize community independence through learning and empowerment, as well as the importance of a sense of ownership of the development process.
This approach also creates a citizen participation system and provides autonomy to local governments in resource management.
Endogenous approach rooted in local communities will allow Indonesians to actively participate in global competition in a dignified manner, said Isbandi.
