Abstract

The Village Consultative Body (BPD) plays a strategic role in overseeing the implementation of village governance to ensure transparent, participatory, and accountable governance. However, in practice, the effectiveness of the BPD's role is often influenced by various internal and external factors. This study aims to analyze the role of the BPD of Kersik Tuo Village in improving village government accountability based on the five dimensions of Servqual developed by Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry, namely tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with the BPD chairperson, village officials, and BPD members, while secondary data was sourced from official village documents, accountability reports, and related literature. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.The results of the study indicate that in the tangibles dimension, the BPD has provided physical facilities and information media that support transparency; in the reliability dimension, the BPD consistently carries out supervision in accordance with the planning and implementation cycle of village programs; in the responsiveness dimension, the BPD quickly responds to complaints and aspirations from the community; in the assurance dimension. Factors supporting the role of the BPD include the commitment of members to transparency, clear regulatory support, and partnerships with village officials and the community. Meanwhile, the main obstacles include limited human resources, supporting facilities, and suboptimal community participation. In conclusion, the BPD of Kersik Tuo Village has played a fairly effective role in maintaining the accountability of village administration, although there is still a need to improve the capacity of members, strengthen facilities and infrastructure, optimize public participation, and utilize information technology to support transparency and the quality of village public services.

Abstract

Mount Kerinci is one of Indonesia’s premier climbing tourist destinations, attracting a growing number of visitors each year. This rapid increase in tourism has brought about significant ecological and social pressures on the surrounding environment and communities. Kersik Tuo Village, serving as the primary gateway to the hiking trail, holds a pivotal role in managing these pressures through sustainable tourism practices. This study aims to analyze the role of the Kersik Tuo Village Government in advancing sustainable tourism development using a qualitative descriptive approach, guided by William N. Dunn's program evaluation framework. The framework assesses five key criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, and responsiveness. Findings indicate that the village government has implemented several important initiatives, such as developing basic infrastructure, conducting human resource training, running environmental awareness campaigns, and collaborating with the village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) to boost local economic development. Despite these positive steps, significant challenges persist. Waste accumulation above 3,000 meters remains a critical environmental concern, alongside widespread illegal climbing activities that threaten the conservation area. Economic benefits are unevenly distributed among community members, and village officials face limitations in technical capacity, hindering effective management. While the government shows good responsiveness to environmental issues, its efforts fall short in addressing social conflicts and systematic trail monitoring. To address these gaps, the study recommends strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing coordination among all tourism stakeholders, establishing preventive monitoring systems for trails, and promoting inclusive economic empowerment. These combined efforts are essential to foster equitable, participatory, and sustainable governance for climbing tourism within the Mount Kerinci conservation area, ensuring long-term preservation and community welfare.
