The National Socio-Economic Survey, better known as SUSENAS, is one of the important sources of household socio-economic data in Indonesia. Susenas provides data relating to the socio-economic conditions of the community including health conditions, education, fertility, family planning, housing, social protection and other socio-economic conditions. Data and indicators from Susenas have been widely used and are seen as one of the important evidences that can be useful for planning, monitoring and evaluating government development programs.
As in previous years, in 2019 BPS again collected data on SUSENAS in March 2019. To prepare for the implementation of the Susenas, on February 3-9 2019 the North BPS District of Kolaka conducted Susenas Officer Training. This training is one form of preparation and seriousness in the implementation of each survey or census carried out by BPS.
In this stage there is a process of knowledge transformation and the formation of skills of an officer who will be involved in the field. From this training the results are expected later, officers are able to carry out data collection correctly and completely in accordance with the concept of the definition that has been taught.
The training of BPS BPS North Sumatra Susenas staff was guided by the National Instructor (Inas), Aditya Dwi Haryanto SST, social statistics section staff of North Kolaka Regency BPS. The training was attended and officially opened by the Head of BPS North Kolaka Regency, Zablin, S.ST., M.Sc. Accompanied by the head of the social statistics section of BPS North Kolaka Regency, Hidayatullah, SE.
In addition to receiving material from the instructors, the training also applied the material they obtained in role playing activities. With this role playing, it is expected that the officers can really practice how to conduct interviews directly with respondents, how officers can collect information / information (probing) with households, all of which will be faced directly by officers in the field during data collection.
Hopefully when the implementation of Susenas data collection in North Kolaka Regency runs smoothly without significant obstacles. The clerk can solve the problems that occur in the field later by continuing to coordinate with their respective supervisors. And it was on the shoulders of the field officers that the initial quality of the Susenas data was determined.
