What is Community Empowerment Through Participatory Governance?
Community Empowerment Through Participatory Governance refers to bottom-up decision-making processes where village councils and residents co-design development plans to build capacity and ownership.
This subtopic examines leadership influences on community participation in village planning (Latif Adam et al., 2019, 172 citations) and transect methods for low-participation areas (Ahmad Mustanir et al., 2020, 134 citations). Studies map village funds to SDGs (Paulina Permatasari et al., 2021, 93 citations) and analyze BUMDes success factors (Hafiez Sofyani et al., 2019, 78 citations). Over 10 key papers from 2017-2021 focus on Indonesian rural cases.
Why It Matters
Participatory governance boosts social cohesion by increasing resident input in village fund allocation, as shown in Permatasari et al. (2021) mapping VF to SDGs across Indonesian villages. BUMDes performance drives rural economies when community-led, per Sofyani et al. (2019) exploratory study of autonomy challenges. Leadership optimizes planning participation (Latif Adam et al., 2019), reducing corruption risks in fund management (Ash-shidiqqi and Wibisono, 2018). These models link citizen involvement to SDG-aligned outcomes like infrastructure and welfare gains (Sururi, 2017).
Key Research Challenges
Low Community Participation
Residents show minimal involvement in development planning due to weak social interactions, as observed in Sidenreng Rappang (Ahmad Mustanir et al., 2020). Leadership fails to optimize engagement in Enrekang villages (Latif Adam et al., 2019). Socialization programs in Bandar Khalifah reveal awareness gaps (Lukman Nasution et al., 2021).
Village Fund Misuse Risks
Accountability lacks in VF management, leading to corruption without supervision (Ash-shidiqqi and Wibisono, 2018). Implementation obstacles hinder economic independence in Siak (Fauzi Asni, 2013). Alignment to SDGs varies across years (Permatasari et al., 2021).
BUMDes Performance Barriers
Not all village enterprises succeed post-autonomy due to untapped potentials (Sofyani et al., 2019; Srirejeki, 2018). Customary institutions underexplored in partnerships (Umanailo, 2019). Infrastructure programs show uneven welfare impacts (Sururi, 2017).
