Keywords:
development, societal, social structure, culture, social processesAbstract
Knowing the achievements of development can give an idea of the extent of the efforts that have been made by the government and the community. From a sociological perspective, a measurement tool is needed that can show the level of community development. This research aims to develop a Societal Development Index (SDI) that can measure the level of community development in Depok City and Salatiga City, focusing on the basic elements of community life. The data used were obtained using a mixed method by conducting surveys and in-depth interviews. Exploratory factor analysis was then used to construct the SDI. The research results show that three basic elements of society, namely social structure, culture and social processes, can form the SDI. The SDI score for Depok City was 78.97 and Salatiga City was 81.72. These results show that the quality of community development in Depok City and Salatiga City is in the very good category. In comparison, the SDI of Salatiga City is higher than that of Depok City. Cultural dimensions and social processes contribute significantly to the high SDI of Salatiga City. The three basic elements of society, namely social structure, culture and social processes, make different contributions to the SDI in both Depok City and Salatiga City. In conclusion, SDI can be used to measure and explain the level of community development. Sociologically, SDI can accurately explain the community development that has been implemented by analysing the conditions of social structure, culture and social processes.
