1 INTRODUCTION

Community empowerment is a policy that is

mandatory for every government in order to realize

the welfare of the community as a whole. However,

the dynamics of the process of implementing

community empowerment are not all local

governments got satisfactory results. Many

community empowerment activities shown end with

a conflict in the community due to inequality in the

selection of groups or individuals who are the targets

of implementing these empowerment activities.

Various problems arise in the community, especially

people at the village level or in Aceh called

‘Gampong’, who feel that they are stepchildren by the

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5983-5131

village government because not all people get the

program assistance.

Likewise, regarding women's empowerment

programs which are in the spotlight of various groups

in an area, sometimes women's empowerment seems

like it is forced and there is no proper preparation

regarding the implementation of the empowerment.

As is the case with West Aceh Regency which runs a

community empowerment program through a

program to establish Muslim family gampongs which

are stipulated through the West Aceh Regent

Regulation number 13 of 2019 concerning the

Implementation of Muslim Family Gampongs in

West Aceh Regency, Considering that in order to

increase public understanding, especially Islamic

Sharia families and add piety in carrying out worship

people and observable behavior”.

3 THEORITIES BASE AND

DISCUSSION

The theory used according to Mazmanian and

Sabatier in Widodo (2010:87) explanated that

iplimentation is to understand what actually happens

after a program is enacted or formulated is the subject

of policy implementation. Those event and activities

that occur after the isuing of outhoritative public

policy directives, wich included both the effort to

administer and thesubtantives, which impacts on the

people and event.

Van Metter and Carl E. in Widodo (2010:86) said

that policy implementation encompasesses those

action by public andprivate individual (or group) that

are directed at the achievement ofobjectives set forth

in prior policy decision. This included both one

timeefforts to transfrom decisions into operational

terms, as well ascontinuing efforts to achieve the

large and small changes mandated by policy decision.

To understand the policy implementating that

involves many organizations and levels of

bureaucracy seem to several aspects as stated by

Wahab (2005: 63) there are at least 3 benchmarks,

namely:

a. The policy Maker.

b. The Field Executive Officers.

c. Group Target.

This research was conducted at the Women's

Empowerment and Prosperous Family in West Aceh

Regency with the vision is:

"The Distinguished Women Condition and

Prosperous Children, Beneficial, Dignified, in

Accordance with Islamic Values and Acehness then

Population Grow Balanced in West Aceh District"

The Women's Empowerment and Family

Empowerment Office West Aceh District vision

reflects the future conditions that the Women's

Empowerment and Prosperous Family Office West

Aceh Regency seeks to achieve through its duties and

functions over the next five years. In the vision of the

Women’s Empoerment and Prosperous family Office

The Policy of Moslem Family Vilages in Aceh Barat

365

The aim of increasing the empowerment of

women and prosperous families is done with 2 (two)

strategies, namely the first strategy is aimed at women

who are already empowered so that it is directed to

efforts for them to reach a stage of independence in

empowering themselves and others towards gender

equality and justice.

The second strategy is aimed at women who are

powerless in order become empowered so they are

able to participate as development subjects related to

improving the quality of the nation's next generation,

because women are the first and foremost educators

for their children who are inseparable from the

cooperation and support of their husbands, where the

husband and the wife is an equal partner who has an

important role and role in realizing the quality of child

development and development from an early age.

The policy implementation and application of

Muslim Family Village in West Aceh Regency can be

explained as follows:

Policy makers in implementations of Muslim

Family Village in Samatiga Sub-district are as a part

of policies and programs initiated by the Women's

Empowerment and Properous Family Office, so then

the policy was strengthened with the signature of

Bupati Regulation Number 3 of 2019 concerning the

Implementation of Muslim Family Village in West

Aceh District.

Implementing officials in the field of policy on

the executing of Muslim Family Village initiated by

the Women’s Empowerment and Prosperous Family

Office in West Aceh which is had been ratified by the

Bupati regulation that also involve crossing of the

District Work Unit (SKPK) in West Aceh District.

The cross-SKPK involvement in the

implementation of Muslim Family Village policy is

adjusted according to the domain and leading of each

SKPK involving so that the cross-SKPK policy does

not overlap between one each other. The office

involving in the implementation of West Aceh

Muslim Family Village policy identified include the

Women's Empowerment and Prosperous Family

Office, the Islamic Sharia Office, the Education

Office, the Public Works Office, the Economic

Office, the Regional Finance Office. In terms of

technical implementation in the field, the chairperson

this policy is the Women's Empowerment and

Prosperous Family Office.

The Group Target of these Muslim Family

Village policies is the villages that have been selected

based on the criteria established with the aim of

implementing the policy will be easier to

implementating because more coordinative both the

village officials and communities.

However, the implementation of Muslim Family

Village policy has not been going well because of a

new program and activity implemented by the

government of West Aceh District and has only been

held 4 times with the community. While planning

from the government requires at least 6-7 meetings.

4 CONCLUSION

The policy implimentation of Muslim Family Village

in Samatiga Sub-district realized since 2018. One of

the activities related to the formation of Muslim

family Village is the program of women fostering in

terms of increasing knowledge and abilities about the

religious basics and Islamic education for children as

the initial foundation for the next generation. The

basically assumption of women fostering will

hopeness to educating prospective mothers to be able

educate their children to be a useful child for others,

and helpfull educate children to read the Qur'an from

an early age.

However, until mid-2020, implementations of

Muslim Family Village policy in Samatiga sub-

district was ineffective and unefficient because the

researchers saw that one of the reason is there has

unconcrete concept about form to implementating

these Muslim family Villages, so that the community

felt that they could not able to found a significant

difference between the Muslim Family Village life

with other villages that are not as pilot project. This

condition is impressed that the implemented

programs and policies are forced in fully.

Communities have not been able to feel any real

change during the policy implementated of the

Muslim Family Village until now. However, the

Samatiga Sub-district peoples, especially the village

were selected as pilot projects included Leukeun

Village, Cot Lampisee Village and Suak Pandan

Village. Regarding the implementation of the Muslim

Family Village policy, their high interest so that this

program can be carried out continuously so that will

have a real impact on their lives as specialy for

community in preparing the next generation of the

nation. They expect the government would be

continued to fix and find specific concepts in terms of

implementing this policy.

Publics are aware and awareness of the purpose

about implemention this policy is to give color in

implementation of Islamic law in Aceh as a Special

Autonomous Region. They support and welcome this

policy implimented, even though it is currently not

able yet realized optimally.
