Melalui mekanisme self help dan member-based, BUMDesa membuka peluang partisipasi masyarakat desa secara keseluruhan dalam mendayagunakan potensi produktif desa. Akan tetapi, pengurus bersama dengan Pemerintah Desa juga perlu menciptakan aturan main bersama dengan stakeholders lainnya agar usaha BUMDesa tidak dikuasai oleh kelompok tertentu di tingkat desa. Sebagai salah satu BUMDesa yang ada di Kabupaten Purworejo, BUMDesa Banjarsari baru mempunyai satu jenis usaha, yaitu penyewaan Gedung.

Therefore, serious efforts need to be made by the VOEs administrators and the Village Government so that the administrators of VOEs run effectively, efficiently, professionally, and independently. Through self-help and member-based mechanisms, VOEs open opportunities for the participation of the village community as a whole in utilizing the productive potential of the village. However, the administrators along with the Village Government also need to create rules of the game together with other stakeholders so that the VOEs business is not controlled by certain groups at the village level. As one of the VOEs in Purworejo Regency, the VOEs Banjarsari just has one type of business, namely building rentals. However, the management of the building as a productive asset belonging to VOEs has not been carried out properly because the managerial capabilities of the VOEs administrators, Banjarsari Village, Purwodadi District are not yet adequate. The VOEs administrators have not conducted a business analysis or financial analysis in running the business. The condition motivates the community service team of Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo to provide training in business analysis and preparation of financial reports for the administrators so that they can run the business well, generate profits, and be sustainable. The training provided is expected to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Banjarsari village-owned enterprise. The results showed that they were very enthusiastic about participating in the training as well as they expect more that such training activities are provided on a scheduled and programmed basis so that they get better to understand and also be confident in managing the business. The findings show that administrators need to be provided with assistance, training, and transfer of science and technology to manage VOE on an ongoing basis and establish partnerships with other business actors so that the business will be able to grow faster.

An Improved Louvain Algorithm for Community Detection

Social network analysis has important research significance in sociology, business analysis, public security, and other fields. The traditional Louvain algorithm is a fast community detection algorithm with reliable results. The scale of complex networks is expanding larger all the time, and the efficiency of the Louvain algorithm will become lower. To improve the detection efficiency of large-scale networks, an improved Fast Louvain algorithm is proposed. The algorithm optimizes the iterative logic from the cyclic iteration to dynamic iteration, which speeds up the convergence speed and splits the local tree structure in the network. The split network is divided iteratively, then the tree structure is added to the partition results, and the results are optimized to reduce the computation. It has higher community aggregation, and the effect of community detection is improved. Through the experimental test of several groups of data, the Fast Louvain algorithm is superior to the traditional Louvain algorithm in partition effect and operation efficiency.
