Diffusion analysis of innovation in the implementation of hygiene programs: a case study of the bangkalan initiative. Study innovation diffusion in Bangkalan's hygiene programs, analyzing community adoption & challenges. Low participation & limited HR hinder success. Recommends interactive, inclusive strategies for sustainable cleanliness.
This study aims to analyze the process of diffusion of innovation in the implementation of hygiene programs in Bangkalan Regency, to understand how hygiene innovations are accepted and adopted by the local community as well as the challenges faced in the cleanliness program implemented by the Bangkalan Initiative Community, to find out how much influence the success and failure of diffusion of hygiene innovations, including public awareness, limitations of infrastructure, and participation in environmental cleanliness programs. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative research type. The types and sources of information used in this study are using 2 types, namely primary data and secondary data. Initial information obtained from the first source of information or field hands, then we obtained this secondary information based on observations from podcasts along with documentation on Bangkalan social media initiatives such as: YouTobe, Instagram, and Tik Tok. The results of the study show that although there are a number of efforts to increase public awareness and provide hygiene facilities, the low level of community participation and limited human resources (HR) are still the main obstacles. Therefore, a more interactive innovation diffusion strategy that involves direct community participation in each stage of the program is urgently needed to increase the effectiveness and reach the cleanliness program in Bangkalan. This study provides recommendations for improvements in the design and implementation of a more inclusive and sustainable hygiene program. The Bangkalan program initiative has a great impact in the field of cleanliness, especially the Bangkalan community. The first step in the process of diffusion of innovation in the Bangkalan cleanliness initiative is the role of education, especially educators, which is the main factor.
This study, "Diffusion Analysis of Innovation in the Implementation of Hygiene Programs: A Case Study of the Bangkalan Initiative," addresses a highly relevant and practical issue concerning public health and community development. The authors clearly articulate their objectives: to analyze the diffusion process of hygiene innovations, understand their acceptance and adoption within the local community, identify challenges, and assess factors influencing success and failure. Focusing on the Bangkalan Initiative provides a valuable real-world context, and the qualitative descriptive approach is appropriate for exploring the nuanced social dynamics involved in innovation adoption. The intention to provide recommendations for program improvement further underscores the study's practical utility and potential for direct impact. While the study's aims are commendable, the abstract raises several methodological questions that warrant further clarification in the full paper. The description of data collection, mentioning "initial information obtained from the first source of information or field hands" and "secondary information based on observations from podcasts along with documentation on Bangkalan social media initiatives," is somewhat vague. Greater detail is needed on how primary data was systematically gathered (e.g., specific interview techniques, participant selection, focus group methods) and how observations from digital platforms were triangulated or analyzed to ensure rigor and representativeness. Furthermore, while the study aims to analyze "diffusion of innovation," the abstract's results primarily highlight obstacles rather than detailing the specific stages or characteristics of the innovation's spread as conceptualized in diffusion theory. A more explicit engagement with theoretical frameworks, such as Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations, would strengthen the analytical depth and provide a clearer lens through which to interpret the observed acceptance and adoption processes. Despite these points, the study offers important insights into the challenges faced by hygiene programs, particularly the low community participation and limited human resources, underscoring the critical need for more interactive and community-led strategies. The recommendation for designing more inclusive and sustainable programs, with a strong emphasis on education and the role of educators, is a significant and actionable outcome. The Bangkalan program initiative's potential impact on local cleanliness is well-articulated, highlighting the importance of grassroots efforts. Overall, this study makes a valuable contribution by shedding light on the complexities of implementing hygiene innovations in a specific community setting, providing a strong foundation for future, more theoretically robust and methodologically detailed investigations into innovation diffusion in public health.
