Abstract
Stunting is a national health priority. Stunting in Indonesia remains a
serious challenge that impacts the quality of human resources. Based on the
Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia
in 2024 was 19.8%. In Malang Regency, the stunting rate reached 23.5% in 2024,
posing a significant challenge. Research: This study uses a descriptive, qualitative
approach. The theory used in this study is the theory of public policy
implementation based on the Edward III Model. Data collection techniques
included interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques
used an interactive field data analysis model. The objectives of this study
are: to describe and
analyze the implementation of stunting prevention based on Malang Regent
Regulation Number 33 of 2018, About Stunting Prevention Efforts, and to
describe and analyze supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of
stunting prevention through independent food security in Karangpandan Village,
Pakisaji District, Malang Regency. The results of the study indicate that the
Karangpandan Village Government and the residents/Community of Karangpandan
Village implement stunting prevention through independent food security in the
village. Independent food security activities carried out by the Karangpandan
Village Government are Greenhouse Melon Premium Activities, Goat Fattening Activities,
and Activities during the Mutual Cooperation Month. Independent food security
activities carried out by the residents/Community of Karangpandan Village
include utilizing home yards. Supporting factors for stunting prevention
through independent food security in Karangpandan Village include the Village
Fund Budget, BUMDes, Linmas, and Pokmas as activity implementers; assistance
from Kominfo in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) Solution Services for
Green House Melon Premium activities; and active community involvement in
utilizing home yards. Inhibiting factors for stunting prevention through
independent food security in Karangpandan Village are limited resources, lack
of awareness, knowledge, and skills of residents/community in utilizing home
yards, marketing of harvests, limited land, poor soil quality, extreme weather
and climate change, pest and disease control, busyness and free time, lifestyle
changes, and nutritional awareness.
