Stakeholder Responses to Bali's Local Policies: Case Study of the Krama Bali Family Planning Program from a Population Policy Perspective
Abstract
This study uses case study analysis and aims to investigate the policy direction of the Family Planning program at the central and regional levels as well as the response of stakeholders at the central and Bali levels to the Krama Bali family planning program. A total of 36 informants were successfully interviewed and selected purposively to represent various stakeholders. Bali was chosen as the study location considering that the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) was already low and the Krama Bali family planning policy was issued, which encouraging Balinese people to have up to 4 children. This is different from the central family planning target of two children. The study shows that the direction of population policy in Indonesia is to achieve SP (Stable Population) with TFR=2.1. Meanwhile, Bali has reached below 2.1, so it issued the Krama Bali family planning policy so that couples of childbearing ages can have up to 4 children. Responses from various interests at the national and local levels in Bali can be mapped into three types of responses. First, accepting the Krama Bali on the grounds of supporting local wisdom to maintain Balinese customs and culture and supported by regulations. Second, support the Krama Bali with the following conditions; that is, it must take into account the economic capacity of the community and the program is implemented without coercion. Third, reject the Krama Bali because regional programs must follow central policy and the value of small families is ingrained in Balinese society.
