Analysis Of Village Fund Utilization

Abstract

Village funds are funds sourced from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget allocated to villages that are transferred through the Regency / City Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget which is rolled out to finance governance, implementation of development, guidance and community empowerment. This study aims to determine how the use of village funds in Pintu Langit Village and Labuhan Batu Village, Padangsidimpuan City. This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. The results showed that in the last five years (2015-2019) village funds received by the two villages were always allocated to village infrastructure development which was always monotonous, for example, road construction, culverts, irrigation, mosque rehabilitation and other physical developments. If the development model is like that, then the development will not have a significant change in the progress of the village. Meanwhile, community potential in other aspects has the opportunity to be improved. However, the village government has not paid more attention to the community regarding this potential. The program that the village government must promote in order to bring community welfare is economic development, this will certainly be realized if community empowerment programs are carried out which can provide more skills to the community to develop economic potential in the village environment.
