Anotace:
High population growth is a population problem in Indonesia. The establishment of the Family Planning
Village is believed to be able to bring family planning programmes closer to the community and especially
the poor. One indicator of success since the launching of the Family Planning Village is the increase in the number
of users of modern contraceptives, both effective contraception and permanent contraception.
This study is based on a field experiment in which the research subjects were two Family Planning villages
in West Kalimantan Province (Mekarsari and Kampung Beting Village) as the treatment groups, and two
non-Family Planning villages (Limbung and Tanjung Hilir Village) as the control groups.
This research found that the Family Planning villages did not significantly influence some changes
in contraceptive selection behaviour. Changes in contraception selection behaviour are significantly affected
only by the number of children in the household and belief or religion. It is therefore necessary to cooperate
with religious leaders in disseminating the importance of contraception.
