The Village

The limitations of the village in management in various sectors, both in the economic, health, education and infrastructure sectors make the village the main focus of the government in implementing development. Based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning villages, making villages have an important role in the implementation of development and empowerment. One of the implementations of the village law is by issuing village fund programs that are prioritized in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). To assist the government in accelerating the achievement of the SDGs, the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Regulations Number 19 of 2020 concerning Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Number 18 of 2019 concerning General Guidelines for Assisting Village Communities has been presented. Medan Estate Village is located in Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. Community empowerment can be carried out by local village assistants who assist in facilitating the achievement of SDGs data collection starting from socialization to inputting data on applications. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of local village facilitators in assisting empowerment activities in Medan Estate Village. This research method is descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the role of local village assistants in facilitating the village government runs according to its duties but in empowering the community it has not run optimally. The supporting factor in mentoring is the openness of the village government in establishing cooperation and the obstacle in mentoring is the lack of village community participation in village meetings.

The paradigm of village development is changing rapidly, so it needs the village government apparatus that can really adjust to the changing situation. The current government is paying very serious attention in efforts to reduce poverty in the village. This is done because with sustainable village development will provide benefits to improve the economy of the community, thereby impacting on improving the welfare of the community. Community participation in the development process is the main key to successful development implementation because it places the community as the driving force or as the subject of development not just as an object. Development with a participatory approach makes the community feel responsible for every process and results of development. The priority of village development has now been directed towards sustainable development goals (SDGs). BPD as a "parliamentary" institution in the village has a strategic position in creating the democratization process as well as being the spearhead of successful development. BPD must maximize its role in realizing participatory development patterns by designing development that is really the will of the community. This paper aims to examine the implementation of the functions of the Village Consultative Agency (BPD) in realizing the Village Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses a literacy study approach.

Public services in Pagerungan Island / Village, Sapeken District, Sumenep Regency, East Java still use a manual system. This condition is troublesome for government officials and citizens who want to get services. On the other hand, the global world and the Indonesian government have launched Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the ninth goal is development based on technological progress. One of the efforts made to make this happen is by initiating a digital village (or Desa Digital/DEDI) in the archipelago. DEDI is a form of digital-based village administration service, using gadgets owned by residents connected to applications that are centralized in the village office. The pioneering of a digital village was carried out through socialization and focus group discussions (FGD) which were carried out with village government officials from the village head, village officials, to neighborhood associations. Equalizing perceptions and desires, so that the digital village began to be initiated through village meetings to be implemented starting in 2020. To make it work effectively, mentoring is carried out, related to making programs, modules, and transfer of technology to officers and community units). Digital villages are implemented using village funds in 2020 and 2021.

A world without extreme poverty is still some way off, but there have been moments where some actual poverty reduction occurred. ‘Whither poverty?’ considers three of the post-1960 attempts to place poverty reduction on the public agenda: President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 War on Poverty, the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals set out in 2000, and their Sustainable Development Goals outlined in 2015. It concludes that the goal of action against poverty is the creation of a world where every individual’s opportunity to thrive (not just survive) can be independent of the circumstances of their birth, if they choose. Poverty matters because it is an obstacle to our progress, properly defined.

Geospatial data is urgently needed in decision-making processes to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at global, national, regional and local scales. While the advancement of geo-technologies to obtain or produce geospatial data has become faster and more affordable, many countries in the global south still experience a geospatial data scarcity at the rural level due to complex geographical terrains, weak coordination among institutions and a lack of knowledge and technologies to produce visualised geospatial data like maps. We proposed a collaborative spatial learning framework that integrates the spatial knowledge of stakeholders to obtain geospatial data. By conducting participatory mapping workshops in three villages in the Deli Serdang district in Indonesia, we tested the framework in terms of facilitating communication and collaboration of the village stakeholders while also supporting knowledge co-production and social learning among them. Satellite images were used in digital and non-digital mapping workshops to support village stakeholders to produce proper village maps while fulfilling the SDGs’ emphasis to make geospatial data available through a participatory approach.

Comprehensive Study

This study analyzes the Indonesian Village Fund (VF) Program by mapping each VF-related activity to all 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and then determines an SDG-based VF allocation in 2018, 2019, and 2020. This study used data from all villages in Indonesia and is the most comprehensive study in Indonesia to address the knowledge gap between VF allocation and SDGs by analyzing the distribution of the use of the VF. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to provide the extent of VF usage to provide evidence on whether this utilization was aligned with the targeted SDGs, and (2) to provide information regarding village activities funded by the VF that were linked to each SDG. The results from this analysis can be used to encourage the Government to socialize and provide an understanding of SDGs to village leaders. Moreover, since Indonesia has developed Village SDGs, which are based on national SDG targets and localization of global SDGs to adapt to local culture as well as social and environmental conditions, it is recommended that other developing countries could formulate similar strategies to help achieve their national SDG targets and to develop rural areas in a more targeted way by prioritizing the most relevant issues. The study shares lessons learned from Indonesian experience in managing fiscal policy to more than 80,000 autonomous villages through the village fund program in the last five years.

Achievement Indicators

A village is an arena for sustainable development where economic, social, cultural, environmental and political interactions occur. It has a strategic meaning for the successful achievement of the 17 indicators of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, villages have limitations in providing data and indicators to measure the achievement of SDGs based on RW. The aims of this study are to provide Precision Village Data (DDP) and use it to measure and analyze the achievement indicators of 16 out of 17 village SDGs. One of SDGs 14, namely the marine ecosystem is not measured because the research location is a terrestrial village with an altitude of 423-902 m ASL. The use of DDP in the research location with normalization and aggregation methods based on arithmetic averages made this study successful in calculating the scores of each village SDGs. Then the results of the analysis of the village DDP and SDGs were combined with spatial mapping. The results showed that the SDGs in Sukamantri Village cumulatively achieved quite good results. A total of 3 SDGs was classified as very good, 4 SDGs were classified as good, 3 SDGs were classified as good enough, 5 SDGs were lacking, and 2 SDGs were poorest. Referring to the SDGs index calculation for Sukamantri Village, the environmental pillar has the highest score and is on average very good. However, the social and economic pillars are in the poor category, the law and governance pillars are in the poorest category. This means that sustainable development in Sukamantri Village has not been achieved. The natural wealth in Sukamantri Village has not been managed to achieve the fulfillment of basic human rights that are of a just and equal quality, for the well-being of the villagers and the realization of inclusive and quality economic growth.
