Abstract
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been a headline issue in Indonesia, not only due to it impacts on poultry industries, but also on human. From 2004 to 2010 there have been over 794 HPAI outbreaks in Indonesian poultry, and the virus has killed 141 of the 171 confirmed human cases in 13 Indonesian provinces (WHO Report, 9th December 2010). Due to these severe impacts, in 2005 the Indonesin government launched the National Strategic Plan for Controlling Avian Influenza to better address issues associated with control of HPAI. The present study was carried out to examine the influence of government policies, programs and activities on community responses to Avian influenza over the last five years. Interviews with 400 village households were carried out between August and September 2010, covering two sites in Lombok (Pujut sub-district a non-infected area in Central Lombok, and Pringgasela sub-district an infected area in East Lombok district). In addition to the survey, data were also collected through in-depth interviews & Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving key informants and participants from district and village levels who represent various stakeholders such as Livestock and Animal Health, Public Health, and community leaders, both formal and informal. Results of the studies reveal low and limited community responses to the HPAI – especially those involved in kampong chicken production or Sector 4. Due to their limited knowledge of the HPAI and the “absence” of HPAI cases (in Pujut), they do not demonstrate strong and positive attitudes and perceptions about HPAI. According to most respondents, Avian Influenza only takes place on other islands and not in Lombok. These attitudes and perceptions have been supported by the fact that very limited programs and activities were conducted at the village and community level by the govermment agencies, even though, in fact, there have been, more generally, many programs and activities carried out at provincial, district and subdistrict level. Most village households claimed that television programs have been the most dominant source of information for HPAI.
