Introduction

In recent years, the concept of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) has gained significant attention in Indonesia as a means to increase community participation and promote village development. BUMDes is a type of village-owned business that aims to manage village potential and run directed and organized programs to achieve prosperity. This study examines the implementation of BUMDes policy in Lalang Village, Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency, and its impact on increasing community participation.

Background

Lalang Village is a rural area located in Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The village has a population of approximately 5,000 people, with the majority engaged in agriculture and small-scale businesses. In 2015, the village government established BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" to manage village potential and run directed and organized programs. The main objective of BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" is to increase community participation and promote village development.

Methodology

This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations, literature studies, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is qualitative, with a data validity examination using triangulation. The study aims to explore the implementation of BUMDes policy in Lalang Village and its impact on increasing community participation.

Results

The results of this study show that the implementation of BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" in Lalang Village has been running quite well. BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" plays an important role in increasing community participation through several ways:

Improving the community's economy

BUMDes provides new business opportunities for the community, both as workers and investors. Through the programs carried out, BUMDes helps increase the income and welfare of the community. For example, BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" has established a small-scale industry that produces handicrafts, which has created employment opportunities for the community.

Building Entrepreneurial Awareness

BUMDes becomes a forum for the community to learn and practice entrepreneurship. Experiences and knowledge gained from BUMDes can encourage people to start their own business. For instance, BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" has organized training and coaching programs for entrepreneurs, which has helped to build the capacity of the community in starting and managing businesses.

Strengthening Social Capital

BUMDes becomes a platform for the community to collaborate with each other and build cooperation. Through BUMDes activities, the community can be connected and mutually supportive, so as to build a sense of unity and solidarity. For example, BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" has established a community-based savings and loan program, which has helped to build trust and cooperation among community members.

Challenges and Suggestions for Increasing the Implementation of BUMDes

Although the implementation of BUMDes in Lalang Village has been going well, there are several challenges that need to be overcome, including:

Lack of community understanding

There are still many people who do not understand the benefits and importance of BUMDes. To overcome this challenge, it is suggested that more intensive socialization and education be conducted to the public about the importance of BUMDes and its benefits for welfare.

Limited Resources

Limitations of Human Resources, Capital, and Infrastructure can hamper the development of BUMDes. To overcome this challenge, it is suggested that the capacity of BUMDes human resources be increased through training and education, as well as finding funding sources for the development of BUMDes.

Transparency and accountability

Lack of transparency of information and accountability in BUMDes management can cause distrust from the community. To overcome this challenge, it is suggested that transparent and accountable information systems be built in managing BUMDes, as well as involving the community in supervision.

Conclusion

The implementation of BUMDes in Lalang Village has shown positive results in increasing community participation and encouraging village progress. To achieve more optimal results, joint efforts need to be made between the village government, BUMDes, and the community in overcoming challenges and increasing the implementation of BUMDes. The study suggests that BUMDes should be strengthened through socialization and education, resource development, and transparency and accountability. By doing so, BUMDes can play a more significant role in promoting village development and increasing community participation.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

  • The village government should provide more support and resources to BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" to enable it to carry out its programs and activities effectively.
  • The community should be more involved in the management and supervision of BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" to ensure that it is transparent and accountable.
  • BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" should continue to provide training and coaching programs for entrepreneurs to build their capacity in starting and managing businesses.
  • The village government and BUMDes "Amanah Mandiri" should work together to establish a community-based savings and loan program to build trust and cooperation among community members.

Limitations of the Study

  • The study was conducted in a single village, which may not be representative of other villages in the region.
  • The study relied on qualitative data, which may not be generalizable to other contexts.
