<![CDATA[Village markets are recognized as a village asset and an ideal source of Village Original Income (PADes) for improving the welfare of the village community. This study focuses on the Waiwuring Village Market, which has great potential but lacks formal regulations regarding the collection of levies. This research aims to analyze how the regulation and management of the village market can increase PADes, what the contribution of market levies to PADes is, and to identify the inhibiting factors in its management. This study uses a normative legal research method supported by empirical law, which identifies the effectiveness of the law in practice. The research was conducted using data supported by primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources, as well as through direct interviews, which were then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the research and discussion show that: (1) In the course of managing the Waiwuring Village Market, existing arrangements are still based on custom and agreement between traders and the Village Government due to the absence of a Village Regulation (Perdes). (2) The contribution of Waiwuring Village market levies to the Village's Original Income (PADes) was formally suboptimal and not recorded in the village bookkeeping from May 2022 to November 2023. However, after bookkeeping began, there was a drastic increase from Rp 720,000 in December 2023 to Rp 7,336,000 throughout 2024 (with temporary data until June 2025 recording Rp 5,174,000), indicating significant potential that is hampered by the lack of a formal Village Regulation. (3) The obstacles to managing the Waiwuring Village Market include: the absence of a Perdes as a legal umbrella, the land status of the market location still belonging to individuals, limited Human Resources (HR) for management, and limited budget for market facilities.]]>
