Abstract

Abstract: Maximum welfare is the goal of development. It goes beyond individual and aggregator’s mindsets. Welfare can be associated with fishes in the sea. Everybody can have it for f It is the same as welfare. To obtain it, people should make efforts to get a better life. Moreover, they should be willing to work. All they need to do are trying to take it seriously in a proper way, and refusing to give up easily. Indonesia’s dream about the welfare is formulated into the National Vision of Long Term Development Planning 2005 – 2025. It sets forth the independence, justice, improvement, and welfare for Indonesia. The Government has conducted some efforts to reduce poverty. However, poverty rate reduction was not as much as expected. It is as if stagnant, would not budge. Some experts say that there are many blunders in the paradigm of poverty alleviation. The poverty alleviation model tends to be top down, initiated by government. This model put "the poor" as an object. It is based on the premise that poor have nothing. There is also tendency to apply charitable-based poverty alleviation model. Suharto (2003) says that poverty eradication should be started from “what poor people have” instead of “what poor people need”. Poverty alleviation should use the philosophy of empowerment. To empower the poor cannot simply rely on uniform patterns. In fact, in each of the poor have different social psychology character. The social psychology character of the society, including the poor is strongly influenced by the physical and non-physical environment as well as local community interaction patterns. Through the social psychology character of the poor identification, the potential of the poor will be explored as well as their social capital. Thus, anti-poverty program in which the poor can solve their own problems - to help people to help themselves can be formulated. To develop this model, education and local wisdom as a manifestation of the positive values that exist in the community can be used as the Basic of Self-Help Model for Empowering the Poor.
