KOLABORASI HEXAHELIX PROGRAM PENGEMBANGAN EKONOMI LOKAL SEBAGAI PERWUJUDAN TANGGUNG JAWAB SOSIAL PT TIRTA INVESTAMA DI DESA WANGEN KECAMATAN POLANHARJO KABUPATEN KLATEN

Abstract

Collaboration is a process in which two or more professionals work

together to serve a specific client (individual, family, group, community, or

population). This research aims to understand the Local Economic

Development (PEL) program developed by PT Tirta Investama in Wangen

Village, Polanharjo District, Klaten Regency, and to explore the implementation

of hexahelix collaboration within the PEL Program. The study employs

collaboration components, including personal commitment, communication

skills, interaction processes, programs or services, and context suitability, to

analyze the roles of the following hexahelix actors: 1) business world (PT Tirta

Investama Klaten), 2) MSME support (PERSEPSI and New Diamond), 3)

government (Klaten Regency Cooperative Trade and UMKM Service or

DPKUKM), 4) academia (Bandung Social Polytechnic students), 5) media (KR

Jogja media), and 6) community (Wangen Village MSMEs). A descriptive

qualitative methodology was used, with data collected from representative

hexahelix actors selected through purposive sampling. In-depth interviews,

observations, and document analysis were conducted to gather data. The

findings indicate that the collaboration's success is limited, as evidenced by low

levels of personal commitment among actors, varying but generally good

communication skills, diverse program offerings, positive synergy fostered

through open and participatory communication, and contextual alignment of

assistance with community needs. Based on these results, the researchers

propose a program to enhance the personal commitment of hexahelix actors in

the Wangen Village PEL Program.
