Abstract

General Background: The management of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is an important strategy in driving the rural economy in Indonesia, but its sustainability often faces managerial and institutional challenges. Specific Background: In Benua Baru Village, the BUMDes “Maju Bersama” manages business units such as a night market, cassava chips, and livestock feed corn, which contribute to increasing village income but are hindered by communication and coordination problems following a change in management. Knowledge Gap: Empirical research that thoroughly examines BUMDes management based on management function theory, particularly the supporting and inhibiting factors at the village level, remains limited. Aims: This study analyzes the management of BUMDes “Maju Bersama” using Luther Gulick’s framework (POSDCoRB) and identifies factors influencing business sustainability. Results: The findings show that business management has aligned with the village’s potential and provided a positive impact on the local economy (2018–2022), but has experienced stagnation since 2023 due to weak communication and planning. Novelty: This study presents a village-level analysis integrating management theory with local leadership dynamics. Implications: The results highlight the importance of continuous coordination, communication, and managerial capacity to ensure the sustainability of BUMDes as a driver of the rural economy. Highlights: The sustainability of BUMDes greatly depends on communication and coordination after a change in leadership. The application of Luther Gulick’s management function theory is effective in revealing supporting and inhibiting factors. Aligning business activities with the village’s potential and needs is the key to local economic success. Keywords: BUMDes, Management Functions, POSDCoRB, Business Sustainability, Rural Economy

Abstract

General Background: Waste management remains a critical environmental and public health issue in Indonesia, affecting both urban and rural communities. Specific Background: In Kelinjau Ulu Village, East Kutai Regency, rising household waste generation is exacerbated by insufficient infrastructure, limited processing facilities, and suboptimal local policy enforcement. Knowledge Gap: While regional waste strategies are mandated, little empirical evidence exists on how these are operationalized at the village level and the local factors influencing success or failure. Aims: This study analyzes the direction and implementation of household waste management policy in Kelinjau Ulu Village, focusing on waste separation, collection, transportation, and disposal, as well as identifying enabling and constraining factors. Results: Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review, findings reveal that although policy frameworks are comprehensive, implementation is hindered by inadequate facilities and infrastructure, while community awareness and government support serve as enabling factors. Novelty: This research offers a detailed, village-scale assessment of household waste policy implementation challenges, bridging the gap between regional strategies and local realities. Implications: Strengthening infrastructure, enhancing community engagement, and enforcing regulations are crucial for improving rural waste management policy effectiveness in Indonesia. Highlights: Infrastructure limitations significantly hinder effective household waste management in rural areas. Community awareness and local government support are key enabling factors for policy success. Village-level analysis reveals practical gaps between regional strategies and on-the-ground implementation. Keywords: Household Waste Management, Policy Implementation, Rural Infrastructure, Community Engagement

Abstract

General Background: Farmer empowerment is a key strategy for enhancing rural economic welfare, with village governments serving as primary facilitators of development based on local potential. Specific Background: Loa Pari Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, possesses significant agricultural potential; however, farmers’ productivity remains hindered by limited facilities, low participation, and restricted access to information. Knowledge Gap: Research on the role of the Loa Pari Village Government in farmer empowerment is limited, particularly regarding mechanisms, effectiveness, and the challenges encountered. Aims: This study aims to analyze the role of the village government in implementing farmer empowerment programs and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors. Results: Findings indicate that the village government plays an important role in providing facilities, forming farmer groups, and collaborating with external institutions, but implementation remains unstructured due to the absence of standard operating procedures (SOPs), budget limitations, and low farmer participation. Novelty: This study highlights the need for measurable and sustainable support systems for village-based farmer empowerment, emphasizing the importance of SOPs, institutional strengthening, and youth engagement. Implications: The results can serve as a reference for village governments and policymakers to design systematic, participatory, and locally adaptive empowerment models. Highlights: Lack of SOPs hampers structured program implementation. Limited budget and low farmer participation remain key barriers. Collaboration with external agencies supports farmer capacity building. Keywords: Farmer Empowerment, Village Government, Agricultural Development, Institutional Strengthening, Rural Participation

Aims: To analyze the performance of the Traditional Institution in implementing the engagement cancellation custom and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. Results: This qualitative study found that the Traditional Institution is effective as a facilitator, mediator, and arbitrator, strongly supported by the community, but hindered by limited communication, modernization influences, and resource constraints. Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive empirical account of the dynamics of engagement cancellation in traditional villages and emphasizes the need for institutional adaptation to social change. Implications: Strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing customary law literacy, and fostering cross-sector collaboration are crucial to sustaining the role of the Traditional Institution in preserving cultural values and resolving disputes in Tanjung Lapang Village. Highlights: Highlights the central role of traditional institutions in engagement cancellation customs. Identifies key challenges including modernization and limited resources.

Abstract

General Background: The absorption of community aspirations is a key indicator in establishing participatory and responsive village governance. Specific Background: In Bukit Raya Village, the Village Consultative Body (BPD) plays a central role as a liaison between the community and the village government, yet faces obstacles such as limited resources and low public participation. Knowledge Gap: While numerous studies have examined the general role of BPD, empirical research that specifically details the stages of aspiration absorption and the supporting or inhibiting factors at the village level remains scarce. Aims: This study analyzes the process of aspiration absorption by the BPD in Bukit Raya Village through four stages—identifying, accommodating, managing, and channeling aspirations—and identifies factors influencing its effectiveness. Results: Using a qualitative method and Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis, the findings reveal that although cross-stakeholder synergy is relatively effective, the BPD lacks a formal method for collecting aspirations and faces challenges in participation, public understanding, and human resource capacity. Novelty: This research offers a detailed mapping of the stages and determining factors for successful aspiration absorption at the village level. Implications: The findings underscore the urgency of strengthening human resource capacity, participation mechanisms, and cross-sector collaboration to optimize the BPD’s role in achieving inclusive and sustainable village development. Highlights: Identifies four key stages of aspiration absorption. Reveals gaps in participation and resource capacity. Proposes strategies for inclusive and sustainable governance. Keywords: Village Consultative Body, Community Aspirations, Public Participation, Rural Governance, Sustainable Development
