INTRODUCTION Indonesia, with its large population and diverse characteristics, requires a well-organized population administration system from the central government to the local level. The administration of population has become increasingly crucial as it is closely related to various aspects of life in Indonesia, including legislative and presidential elections, local head elections, vehicle registration, land registration, and other activities. Innovations such as the Kalimasada and Klampid New Generation (KNG) programs have an important role in improving the quality of Human Resources (HR) and public services in Gunung Anyar Tambak Village. Surabaya City. The International Journal of Education. Social Studies. And Management (IJESSM) Volume 4. Issue 2. June 2024 Page 377-387 implementation of the Kalimasada program as part of population administration efforts shows a commitment to providing services that are more efficient and oriented to community needs. The importance of community empowerment in the population and development administration process is also highlighted (Aprilia, 2. The village government's strategy in realizing the principle of effectiveness in E-KTP making services in Sukodono Village. Dampit District. Malang Regency also emphasizes the importance of professional population administration services and public awareness (Agus, 2. (Mansyur, 2. According to Law No. 23 of 2006 on Population Administration, population administration refers to the activities of organizing and regulating the issuance of population documents and data through population registration, civil registration, population information management, and utilizing the results for public services and sectoral development. As the pace of change in the world is dynamic and rapid, the administration of population requires a more professional, technology-based, dynamic, orderly, and non-discriminatory Therefore, the government issued Law No. 24 of 2014 on Amendments to Law No. 23 of 2006 on Population Administration. Civil servants, as public servants, bear significant responsibilities for the smooth development of the nation. To produce professional, honest, fair, and accountable civil servants, it is necessary to provide training for civil servants. Initially, the Civil Service Performance Evaluation System (DP. was used, as stipulated in Government Regulation No. 10 of 1979. However, the DP3 system was found to have many shortcomings, leading the government to issue Government Regulation No. 46 of 2011 on the Assessment of the Performance of Civil Servants. The assessment of the performance of civil servants is a systematic process conducted by the assessing officer against the work targets and behavior of civil servants (Article 1, paragraph 2 of Government Regulation No. 46 of Similarly, for the successful implementation of population administration at the sub-district level, it is crucial to have adequate performance from civil The performance of civil servants is a significant expectation from the public to meet their needs for population administration services. Conversely, if the performance of civil servants is deemed unsatisfactory, it will disappoint the Therefore, the performance of civil servants must be taken seriously, including in the provision of population administration services. One way to ensure the adequate performance of civil servants in population administration is through regular training and professional development By investing in the skills and knowledge of civil servants, they will be better equipped to handle the various tasks and responsibilities that come with International Journal of Education. Social Studies. And Management (IJESSM) Volume 4. Issue 2. June 2024 Page 377-387 providing population administration services. Additionally, performance evaluations and feedback mechanisms can help identify areas for improvement and provide motivation for civil servants to excel in their roles. Ultimately, the success of population administration at the sub-district level relies heavily on the dedication and competence of civil servants. Updated skills and knowledge through regular training can help civil servants to improve their performance and improve the quality of population services (Huda, 2. Regarding population registration and civil registration, there is a clear legal framework. The government issued Presidential Regulation No. 96 of 2018 on the Requirements and Procedures for Population Registration and Civil Registration. The issuance of this regulation and other regulations demonstrates the government's high commitment to ensuring the successful implementation of population administration. As decentralization policies are implemented, local government officials can manage and provide public services that are more responsive to the needs of local communities. There is a fundamental concept in managing local government affairs, which is the autonomy to make decisions based on the aspirations of the local community. However, in reality, the provision of public services by the government still faces challenges in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, as well as the quality of human resources. This is evident from the numerous complaints from the public, both directly and indirectly, through the media, demanding improvements in public services. The sub-district, as a local government unit, is responsible for providing services to the community, including population administration As a key organization in implementing government policies at the district level, it is expected to perform its duties effectively, efficiently, productively, and professionally. According to Law No. 32 of 2004 on Regional Government, the sub-district is a working area of the district head as a local government official. The sub-district is no longer an administrative area but a working area of the district head. The sub-district is a line office of the local government that directly faces the public and has the task of building villages and neighborhoods in a productive and successful manner. The sub-district is an administrative organization that lives and serves the dynamic life of the community. It faces many problems as an administrative organization, with more managerial problems than political ones. The complexity of the problems faced by the sub-district in providing population administration services is closely related to the large number of people being served, the heterogeneity of the population . rigin, education, age, economic capacit. , and the numerous villages and neighborhoods under its jurisdiction. At the sub- International Journal of Education. Social Studies. And Management (IJESSM) Volume 4. Issue 2. June 2024 Page 377-387 district level, the head of the sub-district is the top manager, and therefore, the head of the sub-district also performs management functions. The sub-district head is the top manager at the sub-district level and also carries out management functions in a balanced manner. Without adequate support from the authorities, sub-district heads will spend more of their time and thoughts behind the desk completing administrative work. The key to an organization's success lies in the performance of its employees (Goiril, 2. (Muhammad & Nur, 2. Mallusetasi Sub-District is one of the seven sub-districts in Barru Regency that provides population administration services. In performing its duties, the sub-district will have many interactions with the community, requiring the quality and quantity of the performance of sub-district officials in providing public services that meet the aspirations and needs of the community. Based on an initial survey, it was found that there are problems with population administration in the Mallusetasi Sub-District Office, including a lack of public understanding of the requirements for obtaining population administration services, such as ID cards, family cards, and others. Additionally, there are issues with the quality of human resources, with inadequate education and incomplete facilities for service delivery. Furthermore, there are also weaknesses that can affect the performance of civil servants at the Mallusetasi Sub-District Office, including a lack of discipline and some lack of experience in performing duties, resulting in delayed task completion, including those related to population Additionally, there are civil servants who are not placed in positions, tasks, or authority that match their expertise.
