Blora, jateng.bps.go.id — Amid the implementation of the major 2026 Economic Census (SE2026), Statistics Indonesia (BPS) continues to ensure that routine surveys are carried out as scheduled. One of these is the September 2026 National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS), which plays an important role in maintaining the continuity of socioeconomic data on the population.
This was stated by the Head of BPS-Statistics Indonesia of Jawa Tengah Province, Ali Said, during his direct review of the September 2026 SUSENAS implementation in Blora Regency on Thursday (September 10, 2026). Accompanied by the Head of BPS-Statistics Indonesia of Blora Regency, Rukhedi, Ali Said visited one of the households selected as a SUSENAS sample in Punggur Sugih Village, Blora Regency.
Ali said that the various major agendas currently being carried out by BPS should not come at the expense of routine surveys. The continuity of these surveys is necessary to ensure that data remains available on a regular basis and can be used to monitor developments in the socioeconomic conditions of the population.
SUSENAS is one of BPS's routine surveys that provides a wide range of socioeconomic indicators at the household level. The data generated are used, among other purposes, to describe the population's welfare conditions and support the planning and evaluation of various development policies.
September 2026 SUSENAS Activities
Before going into the field, field officers participated in training held from August 5–31, 2026, to ensure that they understood the concepts, definitions, and procedures for collecting data in the field.
In September, activities continued from September 1–6, 2026, with the updating of household samples and the examination of sampled households. Then, from September 7–16, 2026, field officers carried out the main activities, including data collection, supervision, and examination of sampled households. During this period, officers visited sampled households, conducted interviews, and ensured the quality of the data collected.
Ali Said's visit to Punggur Sugih Village was part of BPS's efforts to ensure that SUSENAS was implemented in accordance with established procedures. The field visit also provided an opportunity to observe the actual conditions of data collection while giving attention and support to the officers carrying out their duties in the field.
