Abstract

Responsiveness is a sort of accountability on the part of the person or community who gets the service. How sensitive the service delivery is to the community’s issues, needs, and expectations, as seen by the community. This research necessitates collaboration between the federal government and local governments as a means of responding to the phenomena of community needs identified by policymakers in order to respond to what is in the public interest. It is linked to the rise of open defecation or ODF (Open Defecation Free) in Pidie Regency, which can interrupt children’s physical growth and is not optimal at their age. The goal of this research was to see how receptive the Pidie Regency Government was to reducing open defecation. And the community’s difficulties, which cause them to continue to defecate openly. This research takes a qualitative approach while doing descriptive research. Data collecting techniques include observation, interviews, and documenting. The study’s findings demonstrate that the government’s responsiveness in expanding the coverage of ODF villages has been good in terms of counseling and triggering, as well as verification. However, because there are no regulations that specifically regulate defecation, there are no programs that can be run to help change people’s behavior to be healthier due to a lack of budget and no special allocation of funds designed by the government, resulting in a long time being required to reduce the number of defecations. In the Pidie Regency, the big indiscriminately. The difficulty of changing people’s behavior owing to a lack of information of how to live a healthy life and economic circumstances is an impediment in reducing the ODF number in Pidie Regency.
