This study uses qualitative research with in-depth interviews, then analyzed using data triangulation. This research was conducted from September to December 2020. The research location was six “Kampung KB” in Malang City. The result of this research is that the implementation of “Kampung KB” in Malang City is carried out at the village level. In the “Kampung KB” there are fields, namely education, culture, social, economy, religion, environment, reproduction, protection, and love. Routine activities include service work, “Tri Bina”, long-term contraceptive methods, counseling, training and mentoring.
