Abstract

The participation of community groups that receive P2L programs affects the success of the program. The research aims to find out: 1) The participation level of rural and urban communities in the P2L at South Kalimantan. 2) The differences in the participation level communities in P2L. 3) The factor that affected the community participation in P2L. Determination of respondents through simple random sampling based on Krejcie and Morgan's table. The data were analyzed descriptively using Mann Whitney Wilcoxon to determine the difference in the participation level of the communities and Spearman rank correlation to determine factors related to community participation. This research showed that 1) The participation level of communities in the P2L program was in the high category. 2) The score of community groups' participation in rural areas was higher than in urban areas, but there is no significant difference between participation in those communities. 3) Factors related to the participation of community groups in the P2L in community areas were education level, knowledge and skills of plant cultivation, family food sources, size of the home yard, family income, and risk-taking activities. In contrast, the factor of understanding the P2L only related to community participation in urban areas.
