Adoption Model of Civil-Defense Program in Indonesia

Abstract

We argue that public policy evaluation can be through a modeling. Through this research, we have modeled the civil defense program in Indonesia which is a collaboration between the Ministry of Defense, the relevant ministries, the local government, and the community. For model validation, we implemented several focus group discussions at five different locations. We also distributed questionnaires to 167 respondents. As a result, we obtained the acceptability model as well as the adoption model. Acceptability model is a model with a concept related to the satisfaction of program implementation, while the adoption model is related to the behavior of participants based on the fundamental values ​​of civil defense in Indonesia. The acceptability score of the 58.5% program indicates that the program needs to be improved especially in organizing and teaching aspects. Meanwhile, the adoption rate on the fundamental civil defense values ​​above 87% indicates that participants will have a high patriotic attitude. We have also shown that the results of this study provide a significant correction to the results of previous evaluations which used a descriptive statistical approach.
