Analysis of Community Empowerment and Development, Community empowerment is a process where the community development initiative to begin the process of social activities to improve the situation and condition yourself. Community empowerment can only occur when citizens participate.

An attempt was successful only rated as “community empowerment” if the community or community groups become agents of development or known also as the subject. Here the subject is the driving force, and not beneficiaries (English: beneficiaries) or the object alone.

Empowering the community (community empowerment) is sometimes very difficult to distinguish from community strengthening and community development (community development). Because practically overlap, interchangeable and refer to a similar understanding.

Opinion of Cook (1994) stated that community development is a concept related to the improvement or development of society towards a positive direction. While Giarci (2001) saw community development as a matter of having the center of attention in helping the community in a variety of age groups to grow and develop through a variety of facilitation and support to enable them to decide, plan and take action to manage and develop their physical environment and social welfare. This process takes place with dukungancollective action and networking community developed

While Bartle (2003) defines community development as a tool to make more complex and stronger communities. It is a social change where society becomes more complex, local institutions grow, increasing its collective power and qualitative changes in the organization.

Based on the intersection and replace mutual understanding of community development and community empowerment, in a simple, Subejo and Supriyanto (2004) interpret the empowerment of society as a deliberate effort to facilitate local communities in planning, deciding and managing local resources that are owned through collective action and networking so that ultimately they have the capability and independence in economic, ecological, and social “.

In broader terms, community empowerment is a process to facilitate and encourage people to be able to put ourselves in proportion and become the main actors in exploiting its strategic environment to achieve a long-term sustainability.

Empowering communities have close links with sustainable development where community empowerment is a key prerequisite and can be likened to a train that will take society towards a sustainable economic, social and ecological dynamics. Strategic environment that is owned by local communities include, among others production environment, economic, social and ecological. Through empowerment, residents are encouraged to have the ability to utilize its resources optimally and fully involved in the mechanism of production, economic, social and ecological him. In summary the link between community empowerment to sustainable development.

Community empowerment is closely related to internal and external factors. Without play down the significance and role of one factor, in fact both factors contribute to and influence each other synergistically and dynamically. Although several examples of cases previously mentioned internal factors are very important as one of self-organizing form of society, but we also need to give attention to external factors.

How to Steer and Using Credit Card Debt

How to Avoiding Credit Card Debt and Leveraging, courage with wisdom means more than just courage without considering the circumstances. From a financial perspective, courage is needed to manage finances, either through savings or investments. At the same time, fiscal policy is still needed-especially in managing debt.

One of the most common form of debt is through credit cards. If you have a habit of delaying payment of credit card and not pay the entire bill, you are not alone. Based on data from Financial Quotient survey conducted by Citibank, as much as 44 percent of credit card holders in Indonesia did not pay off their credit card arrears. Indonesian Credit Card Association also notes that in 2009 the total credit card problem is above fair value, which reached 9 percent. Here are 8 tips to avoid debt and use credit cards wisely:

1. Make a budget
Record expenditures to be paid via credit card for a month, such as eating in restaurants, shopping groceries, gasoline, and others. Know the amount to be billed to the credit card. Keep an eye on spending and make sure it does not exceed the budgeted funds.

2. Determine the monthly spending limit
Discipline yourself in the use of credit cards per month. Avoid spending close to credit limits, always reserving for emergency needs.

3. Avoid impulsive spending
These tips are suitable for women because women are generally more impulsive in shopping than men. Do not use a credit card to buy something you do not plan. Shop like you are carrying cash.

4. Pay on time
Pay credit card debt for 5-7 days before the due date so you do not get penalties or interest. It would be better if your bill is paid in full each month. Should do regular monthly payments by direct debit or checking. This will improve your track record in the bank or the Debtor Information System.

5. Take advantage of interest-free grace period
This is the time given to the customers credit card issuer to pay a credit card without incurring interest. Usually 20-25 days, but this only applies if the bill had previously been paid.

6. Pay more than the minimum
Get used to paying more than the minimum threshold (10 percent). If you receive a bonus, use those funds to pay off bills so you debt free faster.

7. Remember! It’s not your money
The money you use is basically the bank’s money, not your money. Use it for your daily needs, but do not assume or abuse it as extra income.

8. Take control of your self
Using a credit card requires responsibility and restraint. If you have limitations in paying bills and keep an eye on your credit card number, it would not hurt if you go back to cash as a payment method to acquire discipline in day-to-day expenses.

If you experience a very complicated problem, consult with the customer service or billing the credit card in order to explain the payment program that could be expected to be a solution to your financial problems associated with credit cards.
