Abstract

Human security is very vital for humans. Initially, security was defined as freedom from war. However, over time it began to shift into a broad and collective concept of security. The United Nations established three important pillars of Human Security, namely: freedom from want, freedom from fear, and freedom to live in dignity. The implementation of compliance with Human Security is complex and not simple. This paper argues that the Triple Helix model, the position of society is neglected because they are only positioned as an object where they should also be the one who play an active role as actors. Therefore, a new breakthrough is needed in the effort to fulfill Human Security in Kemijen Village, Semarang City through the Quadruple Helix concept that involves government, business, academics and the community. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach by combining literature studies and interviews. The Quadruple Helix is basically a collaboration between top-down and bottom-up approaches, and this study proves that the Quadruple Helix model is utmost important, because the solutions are more well-targeted and meet the needs of the community. The Quadruple Helix model also allowed the people of Kemijen Village to be involved to become subjects through Focus Group Discussion.

Summary

Introduction

The concept of "national security" still leaves room for confusion, where traditional groups see the concept of full security with elements of the use of force. Implementation of Human Security in Indonesia When discussing about Human Security, the discussion would never stray far from the agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that was proposed by the United Nations in the year of 2015 This is due to the fact that this agenda functions to push different countries to work together with the purpose of forming an international community that is resilient and safe from threats such as poverty, starvation, disease, and violence, all of which is intended to fulfill the three pillars of Human Security that was discussed earlier. This research would examine the process of implementing Quadruple Helix in the village of Kemijen, Semarang City, as an effort to increase the level of human sustainability and security in that area. According to data in December 2018, citizens that are currently enrolled in primary schools amount to 5,046 people (or 38.45% of the population) the number of those who are enrolled in Junior High amount to 4,507 people (35.6%), the ones enrolled in academy amounts to 242 people (1.35%), the ones enrolled in university (undergraduate) amounts to 89 (0.38%), and lastly only 3 of the inhabitants (0.02%) has enrolled to post-graduate programs.
