This research uses Venn diagrams and Social Network Analysis (SNA) to map and measure relationships and information among individuals, groups, or institutions. The results show that the level of community participation in Belun village is at a moderate level, with high-density levels and centrality. There are 17 central figures connected to the BUMDes in Belun village. Independent BUMDes have not yet made financial contributions.
