Design of Village Land Multipurpose Model for Poverty Reduction in Rural Areas

Abstract

The purpose of the study focuses on efforts to uncover how village land management can have an impact on the welfare of local village communities. The research method used through a qualitative approach and in data processing uses the NVivo12 Plus application. The number of respondents was 14 people from various elements, namely village heads, heads of village consultative bodies, community leaders, agricultural extension workers, joint chairmen of farmer groups, farmers renting village land, and micro, small and medium enterprises. The results of this study provide a perspective that village land, which is widely spread in various locations, has an impact on community welfare if managed properly, transparently and accountably. Village land not only contributes to nature conservation, but has a multiplier effect on efforts to improve the economy of rural communities. Village land management needs to be supported by a concept that is easy to apply and can be done through the integration of ecology, empowering, entrepreneurship, education, evaluation (5E) and applied sustainably.
