Introduction. When Korten
(1993) introduced
the theory
of
people centered development
that respects the
local
knowledge, lot of interest in research
emerged to formulate development plans based on social capital with a participatory approach. Manifestations of community-based participatory development paradigm had lasted
long enough through the program of Neighborhood Upgrading and Shelter Sector Project (NUSSP) and the Urban Poverty Reduction Program (UPRP),
including in the area of Kendari Government. Indeed,
the
poverty rate has declined since 2012 amounted
to 6.4 percent, and even predicted to continue declining until 5.7 percent in 2014 with 76. 81 percent of HDI rate, and unemployment also continued to fall to 3.8 percent (TNP2K/RPRCT
Kendari, 2015). However, the data of poverty rate from the National Program for Urban Community Empowerment (NPUCE) Kendari showed that
it
was
still
remained
25
percent
of poor
households in Kendari (NPUCE Kendari, 2014).
