RESEARCH METHOD
This research was conducted in Padang Village, Manggeng District, Southwest Aceh District.This research was conducted from January 2023 to completion.The sampling model in this study used simple random sampling, namely sampling without regard to strata in one population (Sugiyono, 2015), the study population consisted of 310 heads of households, the sampling approach from the population used Slovin formula by formula n=  1+ () 2 n=Sample size to be taken N=Population size e = margin of error which is the amount expected or specified (e = 15%) The data sources to be used in this study consist of primary data.Primary data is data obtained from questions (questionnaires) that have been prepared, by direct interview techniques to the Head of the Family who has been determined as a sample and secondary data.Secondary data is data that will be obtained from sources that have been issued by related parties such as village offices, food security agencies with official websites, and literature related to research which will later be utilized in this research.
Data Collection Techniques that will be used in this study are: 1. Observation Observation is an observation activity carried out to obtain respondent data directly in the field.

Interview
Interviews were conducted using a questionnaire that had been designed/prepared by asking the respondent Variables in this study include: a. Respondent Identity The identity of the respondent to be observed consists of: 1) Age, is the age of the respondent which is calculated in years 2) Education, Is the level or level of education completed by respondents counting from SD, SLTP, SMA, DII, and SI. 3) Occupation, Is a profession or permanent job of the respondent b.Community Perceptions of Sustainable Food Home Areas (KRPL) Public perception of (KRPL) is measured by four indicators (1) Benefits, (2) Ease of application of technology, (3) Compatibility of Technology with Landscaping and (4) KRPL Sustainability.(Mira 2017). in the form of a statement related to the research theme.Statements that will be made as follows: Variations in daily consumption 5 Ease of application The ease of implementing plant cultivation using polybags 6 Ease of application of plant cultivation with a vericulture system 7 Appropriateness in application Suitability in the application of plant cultivation using polybags 8 Compatibility in the application of plant cultivation with the vericulture system 9 KRPL Sustainability Availability of KRPL supporting facilities and infrastructure at the Agriculture depot 10 Support the environment in its application This research is research in qualitative descriptive form with the aim of interpreting phenomena or data that are natural or human-made in the form of tabulations without generalization purposes (Sukmadinata, 2017).This qualitative descriptive study uses a Likert Scale, a measure of people's perceptions of KRPL consisting of four indicators (Benefits, Ease of Implementation, Compatibility with Landscaping and Sustainability (KRPL).Alternative answers to respondents' perceptions in the form of a Likert Scale in this study can be seen in the following table.: From the table above it can be seen which most of the people of Padang village make a living as farmers 148 people, entrepreneurs 88 people, IRT, people and ASN 54 people, the rest have a livelihood as TNI/Polri 5 people, 10 people traders, 1 fisherman, 1 worker, 3 welders, 6 carpenters, 2 tailors, and 11 retirees.Respondents in this study were still productive age respondents where 87.18% of respondents were in productive age.(Tjiptoherijanto, 2001) states that overall, respondents belong to the productive age category, which ranges from 15 to 65 years of age.so that these respondents are residents who are still productive, thus these respondents are still able to work and produce something (Young & Arfan, 2016).Perception is the experience of objects, events, or relationships obtained by inferring information and interpreting messages.Perception is giving meaning to sensory stimuli (sensory stimuli).( Rakhmat Perception in this case is the view of the people of Padang village, Manggeng sub-district, Southwest Aceh district of the Sustainable Food Home Area (KRPL) program.Perceptions of KRPL are broken down into four indicators, namely perceptions of benefits, ease of application, suitability in application and sustainability of KRPL.The following is a description of each indicator:

Community Perception of the Benefits of KRPL
The level of perception of the Padang village community towards the benefits of the KRPL program is categorized as very appropriate with the achievement of an average percentage of 87.31%.The people of Padang village, Manggeng sub-district, Southwest Aceh district have a very good perception of the benefits of the KRPL program.This can be seen from each indicator on the benefits of the KRPL.This can be seen in the  Based on the research data in the table above the highest score of the KRPL benefit indicator is shown by the first indicator (Saving kitchen expenses) with a score of 181 with a percentage of 92.82% in the Very Suitable category.Then the 2nd indicator (Increasing family income) With a score of 149 with a Percentage of 76.41% in the Very Appropriate category.the third indicator (maintaining family food availability) with a percentage of 90.77%, the fourth indicator (variation of daily consumption) with a percentage of 89.32%.The KRPL program is an alternative by using environmentally friendly yard utilization to meet food needs, family nutrition, and increase income which in the end can improve welfare through community empowerment.(oka et.al 2016).The perception of the Padang village community towards the KRPL Program can help the community in minimizing kitchen expenses, where kitchen expenses are a necessity that must be met in every household.In every household, kitchen expenses are of course different from KRPL.The utilization of the house yard is able to ease the kitchen expenses of each household.The habit of consuming food determines the consumption pattern.Food ingredients are closely related to food that is healthy, safe and lawful while at the same time fulfilling balanced nutritional requirements.(Oka et., al 2016) many respondents mentioned which variations in consumption obtained from KRPL also depended on what species were cultivated.Variations in consumption from the implementation of KRPL are also not fully met so that people still have to buy certain needs in the market

Community Perceptions of the Ease of Implementing KRPL
In implementing KRPL, of course, innovation is needed.Innovation basically has a good role in the development of KRPL, (Prasentianti et.al 2012) mentions especially in terms of plant cultivation activities.Besides being able to provide improvement and guarantee the quality of cultivation products, the right technology will have the opportunity to reduce cultivation costs.This innovation will certainly affect the ease of application, including the ease of implementing plant cultivation using polybags and the ease of implementing cultivation with a vericulture system.Study of the perceptions of the Padang village community regarding the ease of implementing KRPL in the form of the level of ease of application and the level of suitability of technology with environmental conditions and yards.Group members' perceptions of the innovations implemented in KRPL can be seen in the following table : Table 05.Community perception of the ease of implementing KRPL No Indicator of Ease of application Score Ideal score Percentag e 1 The ease of implementing plant cultivation using polybags 188 195 96.41% 2 Ease of application of plant cultivation with a vericulture system 162 195 83.08% Total Index 350 390 89.74%Data source: Primary data will be processed in 2022 Based on the data presented in the table above, in general the perception of the Padang village community towards the innovations implemented in KRPL is very appropriate, namely 89.74%.This is influenced by each of the indicators where the public's perception of the ease of application in polybags with a percentage of 96.41% and ease of application in polyculture with a percentage of 83.08%.The gains from each of these categories mean that the innovations that are applied to ease the implementation of KRPL are easy to apply even though each innovation is not very suitable for the conditions of the yards of each community.From the above data it can also be concluded from the community's perception of the ease of implementing KRPL where the level of public perception is higher in polybag cultivation, because cultivating plants in polybags is very easy besides being able to cultivate in narrow yards they can also be moved.Whereas in vericultural cultivation it is slightly lower.Verticulture is an agricultural cultivation system that is carried out vertically and in stages.Verticulture is a farming pattern that uses vertical planting containers to overcome land limitations (Supriyadi et., al 2013).

Indicator of conformity in implementation
The narrowing of cultivation land and the continued increase in food demand has required a way to carry out cultivation in order to fulfill needs by only relying on narrow land.KRPL is present as a solution in the continuity of food in the midst of society.Padang village is one of the densely populated villages.The carrying capacity of the coral in the application of KRPL has the potential to be developed into limited land farming in the center of an area that is already densely populated.The perception of the people of Padang village, Manggeng sub-district, Southwest Aceh district towards the suitability of implementing plant cultivation using polybags and the suitability of implementing plant cultivation with the vericulture system can be seen in the following table: Based on the data above, in general the perception of the Padang village community regarding suitability in implementing KRPL is very appropriate, namely 91.03.This is also influenced by each indicator, namely suitability in the application of plant cultivation using polybags 88.21% and suitability in the application of plant cultivation with the vericulture system 93.85%.The acquisition of these categories means that the innovations implemented in implementing KRPL are easy to apply.From the results of interviews with the general public, it was stated that vericulture or polybag cultivation was very suitable to be applied given the lack of land, narrow yards as well as the verticulture system which basically uses terraced plots so that it is very suitable for narrow land.Plants that are cultivated in various cultures can just use used goods.(Nirwana et., al 2013) stated that plants cultivated vertically have high economic value, are shortlived, and have a root system that is not too extensive.

Community Perceptions of KRPL Sustainability
A development program can be said to be successful if the program can continue for an unspecified time (Meranti 2017).The sustainability of KRPL will continue by paying attention to aspects such as the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure for KRPL at agricultural depots and supporting the environment in implementing KRPL.The table above shows that the perception of the Padang village community towards the sustainability of KRPL is included in the Very appropriate category with a percentage gain of 91.03%.This is because the amount of support that encourages the sustainability of KRPL is reflected in the indicator Availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure for KRPL at Agricultural depots with a percentage of 95.38% or categorized as very suitable and the indicator Supporting the environment in its application with a percentage of 91.03% is also included in the very suitable category.Indicators Availability of KRPL supporting facilities and infrastructure at agricultural depots with a percentage of 95.38%The score percentage was obtained because in general respondents considered that facilities and infrastructure to support KRPL sustainability were very easy to obtain at agricultural depots such as seeds, fertilizers, polybags, pesticides and other facilities.and other supporting infrastructure.While supporting the environment in its application with a percentage of 91.03% that the community considers the environment in implementing KRPL very safe, especially security in cultivation where the community is not worried about pests, especially attacks from livestock especially like goats because the village has given warnings not to release animals the livestock

CONCLUSION
From the results of research on people's perceptionstowards the application of sustainable food housing areas (KRPL) where each indicator can be categorized as Very Suitable for each indicator which in the indicatorBenefit indicator with a grade point index of 87.30 percent, Ease of application indicator with a grade point index of 89.74 percent, Conformity indicator in application with a grade point index of 91.03 percent and KRPL Sustainability Indicators with a grade point index of 91.03 percent.This means that in general the community agrees or understands about the application of KRPL in which KRPL can save kitchen expenses, increase family income, maintain family food availability, vary daily consumption, easy and appropriate in its application both polybag and vericulture cultivation, availability of facilities and infrastructure supporting KRPL and supporting the environmentin application in society.
2005; Arifin et., al 2017).In general, perception can be defined as the process of giving meaning, interpretation of stimuli and sensations received by individuals, and is strongly influenced by internal and external factors for each individual (Arifin et., Al 2017).Restiyanti et.,al (2005) revealed that the factors that influence perception, can be grouped into two main factors, namely: 1) Internal factors, including: a) Experience b) Needs c) Assessment d) Expectations / expectations, and 2) External factors, including: a) External appearance b) Stimulus characteristics c) Environmental situation.
