Model Eliminasi Kemiskinan melalui Democratic-Governance Approach Berbasis Local-Resources di Era Otonomi Daerah

Poverty is one of the main issues of Indonesian's social problems.  This problem of poverty has been getting worse since the time of local  autonomy, which brought serious imbalance in-between regions. However  this problem can actually be solved if local government designed and  implemented comprehensive and serious policies to battle poverty. Especially  with democratic-governance based policies, which based on local-resources  and local-wisdoms. This research is focused onto local governments' effort in battling poverty.  This research was done on two regions which acted as samples, the region of  Kendal, and the region of Deli Serdang. Based on this research, it can be  qualitatively shown that policies that conform to the approach of democraticgovernance, which based on region's local-resources and local-wisdoms, are  considerably effective in helping the local governments in their effort of  battling poverty in their regions.
