Abstract

The resource factor already has and is provided with facilities but is still not optimal because there are still shortcomings that must be added to optimize services, which is the background of this research. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method that focuses on the implementation of policies and strategies implemented by PUSKESOS members and the Village Government. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that between PUSKESOS, the Village Government synergizes with various potentials and community resources, strengthens social networks, and builds togetherness in overcoming social problems at the local level, the position of PUSKESOS is located at the village/sub-district level. This study also identified several obstacles faced, such as incomplete tools or facilities for better services, both in the office and in the field. However, with the implementation of appropriate strategies and efforts to increase resources are attempted by the village government and related agencies in Pangandaran Regency.
