Summary
Persoalan kemiskinan tidak lepas dari negara manapun terutama Negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Kemiskinan dipandang sebagai ketidakmampuan dari sisi ekonomi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dasar makanan dan bukan makanan yang diukur dari sisi pengeluaran. Penurunan angka kemiskinan tersebut tentunya tidak lepas dari upaya penanggulangan kemiskinan yang telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia melalui berbagai program. Sebagai langkah konkret paradigma pembangunan tersebut, tahun 1999 pemerintah mencanangkan Program Penanggulangan Kemiskinan di Perkotaan (P2KP) sebagai upaya membangun kemandirian masyarakat dan pemerintah daerah dalam menanggulangi kemiskinan secara berkelanjutan. Membangun masyarakat adalah misi utama relawan dalam menanggulangi kemiskinan, yang secara khusus melalui PNPM-MP dilakukan dengan berbagai aktivitas pendampingan masyarakat (Departemen Pekerjaan Umum, 2008b). Berdasarkan uraian tersebut, penelitian ini berusaha mengungkapkan faktor-faktor yang mendukung relawan untuk ikut berpartisipasi dipandang dari persepsi dan motivasinya terhadap PNPM-MP. Dengan mengetahui persepsi dan motivasi relawan, diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan pertimbangan berbagai pihak terkait dalam usaha pemeliharaan semangat dan jiwa kerelawanan masyarakat
