Abstract

This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive method, which aims to find the meaning of community empowerment based on socio-cultural values through life skills education and business diversification. The study was conducted in Bener Village, Tegalrejo Subdistrict, Yogyakarta with research participants being the heads of community empowerment units, Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) managers, 25 empowerment program participants and business diversification actors. Data were collected through observation, interviews and document analysis as well as Foccus Group Disscusions (FGD). The collected data is analyzed inductively by linking between aspects to be interpreted. The results of this study indicate 1) community empowerment


programs such as Life Skills Education are based on Segoro Amarto values in building the spirit of independence, discipline, caring and togetherness. Three main empowerment programs include productive economic empowerment, professionalism and welfare development. 2) Life skills education that has been followed tends to have no impact on the choice of type of business diversification carried out. This means that the social welfare sought to form into group economic activities in the form of Prosperous E-warung is one form of Segoro Amarto implementation and is developed in commitment, honesty and shared responsibility.
