The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data analysis techniques include data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the Kalanganyar Village Government has carried out its role optimally. As a regulator, the village government sets local policies based on culture and community agreements. As a facilitator, the government provides participatory space and supports training and development of village facilities. As a catalyst, the government collaborates with external institutions such as universities, related agencies, and CSR to support development programs. Although there are still obstacles, the Kalanganyar Village Government is able to resolve them collaboratively and gradually in order to realize village independence. ]]>
