The model of government policy has been somewhat over-oriented to the efficiency (development); this is especially in the urban areas. As a result, rural areas are left behind and the urbanization rates are continuously growing since the life supports in a city are more varied rather than the homogenous supports in a village. This results in inequality and the poverty within the village. To resolve this problem, the government has constituted the Regulation No. 6 of 2014 Considering Rural Areas in advancing the development of rural areas. The objective of this present study is to find out the effectiveness of the transfer of village funds in solving the issue of poverty in all villages within all the provinces in Indonesia during the period of the implementation of the program. Furthermore, this research was conducted by using econometric method through the equation of panel data in 2015 to 2016 in 33 provinces. The result reveals that the transfer of village funds is not significant in alleviating the issue of poverty in rural areas. By that, it is recommended to increase the amount of the fund of the program to reduce the rate of poverty in all villages in Indonesia.

National development in general aims to improve people's welfare as measured by poverty indicators. In reducing poverty, one focus of the government is to reduce poverty in rural areas that have a higher percentage than urban areas. One of the government spending aimed at reducing poverty in rural areas is the Village Fund. This study aims to determine the effect of the Village Fund on poverty at the Regency/City level in Indonesia. This study uses quantitative data that focuses on economic variables consisting of the Total Poor Population as the dependent variable and the Village Fund as the main independent variable. In addition, Village Fund Allocation, Gross Regional Domestic Product, and Capital Expenditures are used as other independent variables. As a material for analysis and compiling recommendations, qualitative data in this study were used in the form of in-depth interviews with the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance and the Fiscal Policy Office. The analytical method used is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model. The result shows that the Village Fund variable has a negative effect on the Total Poor Population. This shows that the Village Fund is able to effectively reduce the number of poor people. However, based on the results of in-depth interviews, there are at least three aspects of the Village Fund policy that need to be improved namely covering improvements to the formulation aspects, aspects of strengthening supervision, and aspects of increasing innovation in the use of Village Funds.

In Papua Province, poverty has become an important problem common in other regions in Indonesia and worldwide, especially in developing countries. The Millennium Development Goals targets have pushed the Indonesian government to emphasize poverty reduction programs throughout Indonesia. Rural areas in Papua, particularly villages, have been the target point for the poverty alleviation program because many in rural areas experience poverty that is worse than urban areas. Rural development is considered an effective method for poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the development program as a whole has neglected rural communities. In Papua Province, poverty reduction programs have been implemented ineffectively due to part of the village development program, the top-down approach of the government, and the absence of competent resources. So far, village development policies have been implemented without considering village potential, spatial arrangements, holistic approaches, and lack of budget allocations. In addition, the role of village government shows an ineffective performance. Thus, this study aspires to identify how much influence communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure have on poverty reduction in Papua Province. This study indicates that communication, resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures affect village development policies and influence poverty reduction in Papua Province. This research also shows that the lower the performance of the implementation of village development policies indicated by four variables, the less effective it is in poverty alleviation in Papua Province. In this study, a novelty that previous researchers have not found has been found, namely; that in the effectiveness of poverty reduction, it is necessary to develop an effective communication so that program implementation can run optimally, and it needs to be supported by the character or behavior of the implementers of the village development program.

According to the latest estimates, roughly one-third of the total population of the developing countries live in poverty, majority of which are rural inhabitants (as reported 35 percent of the Pakistani rural mass). In Pakistan, the income distribution has worsened in the rural areas while it has marginally improved in urban areas during the period 1979 through 1996-97 [Pakistan (2001)]. The rural poverty is continuously feeding unemployment through migration of unskilled people to the urban areas. Poverty reduction is a priority area for Pakistan. The government is taking measures for addressing problems of the poor who are the most vulnerable amongst the different socioeconomic groups. Poverty alleviation is the main focus of the government in addition to develop physical infrastructure in rural areas and remove income disparities between income groups and regions.

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the entrepreneurial success of rural women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Non-probability sampling specifically convenience sampling is used to draw the sample and data is collected using the self-administered survey. Regression analysis and descriptive statistics are used to analyze the data. The study discloses that motivational factors, government policy and financial support have significant influence on the rural women entrepreneurial success in Bangladesh. Due to lack of suitable training and proper development as well as ICT knowledge, the rural women of Bangladesh could not accomplish the achievement. Half of the total populations of Bangladesh are female and most of them live in rural areas. Therefore, the government and the policymakers in Bangladesh should develop the potential of rural women entrepreneurs by providing development facilities, proper training, and ICT knowledge.

The representation for women in local bodies through reservation policies amendment in Constitution of India has stimulated the political participation of women in rural areas. However, when it’s comes to the argument of whether the women reservation in Panchayati Raj helps or benefits to the life and livelihood development of women as a group? The answer is hypothetical because the studies related to the impact of women representatives of Panchayati Raj in the life and livelihood development of women was very less. Therefore, to fill the gap in existing literature, the present study was conducted among the rural women of Tiruvannamalai district to assess the impact of elected women representatives in the physical and financial and business development of the women in rural areas. The findings revealed that during the last five years because of the women representation in their village Panjayati Raj, the Physical Asset of the rural women were increased or developed moderately (55.8%) and Highly (23.4%) and the Financial and Business Asset of the rural women were increased or developed moderately (60.4%) and Highly (18.7%).

One of the targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is Target 6.2, aims to achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation. The Government of Indonesia targets universal access to improved sanitation in 2019. However, almost two out of five households in Indonesia are without access to improved sanitation. Moreover, access to improved sanitation is lower in rural areas than that in urban areas. Studies examining the drivers of the disparity in Indonesia are also limited. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the characteristics associated with the rural–urban disparity in access to improved sanitation facilities among households in Indonesia. We employed data from the 2016 Indonesian National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) comprising 290,848 households. The analysis was twofold. First, we fitted multivariate probit regression models using average marginal effects as the measure of association. We then conducted a detailed non-linear decomposition of the rural–urban disparity attributable to all the explanatory variables. The multivariate regression analysis suggested that households living in rural areas were 11.35% (95% confidence interval = [10.97, 11.72]) less likely to have access to improved sanitation facilities than those residing in urban areas. The decomposition analysis suggested that 48.78% are attributable to spatial, demographic, housing, and socio-economic factors, which meant that almost half of the inequalities could be reduced by equalizing these factors. The results provide a decomposition of factors amenable to curtail urban–rural inequalities. Hence, equity-oriented approaches to increasing access to improved sanitation should be prioritized to achieve universal access in 2030 in line with SDG Target 6.2.

Rural areas in Romania are underdeveloped, with the main economic activity being agriculture. Urban-rural income gap and poverty levels are indicative of an underdeveloped rural area. Urban-rural absolute income gap for average monthly income increased from 352 RON in 2007 to 663 RON in 2017. Moreover, the work poverty rate is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Economic rural development can be achieved by improvements of the labour market and introduction of new value-added products. Agricultural and non-agricultural activities are dependent on each other for a successful rural development leading to poverty alleviation. An industry that combines the two types of economic activities is agriculture biomaterial industry. In this paper, the authos investigates the factors influencing rural poverty and analyses the current stage of the bioplastics market in Romania and its economic implications. Bioplastics industry can reduce urban-rural income gaps and poverty in rural areas.

Dalam perjalanan ketatanegaraan Indonesia, sistem pemerintahan desa kembali mulai diseragamkan melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran lembaga pemerintahan desa dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan berkelanjutan di pedesaan serta tata kelola kebijakan pembangunan desa melalui pemanfaatan Dana Desa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum empiris. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa faktor pendukung pelaksanaan tugas Kepala Desa di Kecamatan Trucuk yaitu adanya pengarahan, bimbingan, serta pelatihan bagi Kepala Desa dalam menyusun rancangan peraturan desa untuk mewujudkan percepatan pembangunan desa yang berkelanjutan. Sedangkan faktor yang menghambat pelaksanaan tugas Kepala Desa di Kecamatan Trucuk yaitu rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat dalam menyikapi program kerja yang dijalankan oleh pemerintah desa serta rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam memelihara fasilitas umum yang ada di desa. Pemerintahan desa yang baik adalah sebuah kerangka institusional untuk memperkuat otonomi desa karena secara substantif desentralisasi dan otonomi desa bukan hanya masalah pembagian kewenangan antarlevel pemerintah, melainkan sebagai upaya membawa pemerintah untuk lebih dekat dengan masyarakat. Pemerintah desa yang kuat dan otonom tidak akan bermakna bagi masyarakat tanpa ditopang oleh transparansi, akuntabilitas, responsivitas, dan partisipasi masyarakat.   IMPLEMENTATION OF ACCELERATION OF VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT IN REALIZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LAW NUMBER 6 YEAR 2014 ABOUT VILLAGE Abstract In the course of the Indonesian state administration, the village government system began to be uniform again through Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. This research aims to explain the role of village government institutions in the implementation of sustainable development in rural areas and the governance of village development policies through the use of Village Funds. The method used in this research is empirical legal research. The results of this research explain that the supporting factors for the implementation of the duties of the village head in Trucuk Village are direction, guidance, and training for village heads in drafting village regulations to realize the acceleration of sustainable village development. Meanwhile, the factors that hinder the implementation of the duties of the village head in Trucuk Village are the low participation of the community in responding to the work programs run by the village government and the low awareness of the community in maintaining public facilities in the village. Good village governance is an institutional framework to strengthen village autonomy because substantively decentralization and village autonomy are not just a matter of sharing authority between levels of government, but as an effort to bring the government closer to the community. A strong and autonomous village government will not be meaningful to the community without being supported by transparency, accountability, responsiveness and community participation.
