摘要：The increasingly rapid urban growth and fast urbanization flow as well as the impacts of the economic crisis in the last few years cause poverty in the urban areas to growmore and more. This can be anticipated by the government by issuing various policies which are intended to handle poverty,such as JPS (Social Safety Net),KUT (Credits for Farm Operations),and other projects controlled and carried out by the bureaucrats. However,in reality the results are less satisfactorily. Based on the previous experiences,P2KP (The Handling Project of Poverty in the Urban Areas) makes use of a local institution as the project executioner,that is BKM, which is composed of and by the communities themselves. Thus,this study uses an approach different from the approach used in the previous project. The later employs a topdown approach,while the former employs a bottom-up approach. In regard to the fact,the study gives a stress on BKM as a local institution,starting from the establishing process,its programs in implementing P2KP,and the execution in the field. The handling programs are in the form of continuing funding support,training programs,and hibah funding support,that is funding provided to build ways and means. P2KP has an advantage in empowering the poor by providing some credit for their working capitals,building ways and means,and providing some funding for training programs. Moreover,establishing BKM as a local institution will help handle poverty. This study used a qualitative method in the form of observations and direct interviews with the concerned stakeholders. The result will be called „primary data‟,while documents and the results of the previous studies will be called „secondary data‟. Based on the study,it is conclusive that BKM is established from the bottom according to personage rather than professionalism and that P2KP will be more successful by involving the communities. Although there is an obstacle in respect that members of the communities are not able to write credit proposals or other support requests,the communities have experienced the advantage of P2KP,especially in the form of continuing and hibah funding for building ways and means..
