Abstract

Rancakalong Village is one of the villages in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency. The Sumedang Regency Government has declared this village at an altitude of 894 meters above sea level (masl) to be a pilot village for the Productive Village Cluster (KDP) type. The area of this village is dominated by 68% agricultural areas, namely with a land landscape of 229,216 Ha and rice fields of 155,784 Ha. This village has a fairly high stunting rate. Stunting is a condition of critical nutritional deficiency that affects children's physical growth, as seen from their shorter height compared to their age standards. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stunting is defined as a child's height that is two reference deviations below the median height for age according to the international growth charts. Stunting, or chronic malnutrition in children, can have a significant impact on various aspects of their physical, cognitive and social development. The main impacts caused by stunting are stunted physical growth, delayed cognitive development, limited motor skills, higher risk of disease. In Rancakalong Village there are 22 families with stunted children. The vast Rancakalong area, as well as new stunting developments which directly increase the stunting rate, are the focus of attention. Nusantara Islamic University, through the Community Service Grant program from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, is trying to develop an application for an Information System for monitoring and supporting the handling of stunting in Rancakalong Village.
