Recognition of Prior Learning Village to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals; Policy Analysis in Indonesia

Objective: The paradigm of village development in Indonesia, which has been put into practice since the reformation era in 1998, has generated three laws that underlie village governance systems: Law No. 22 in 1999, Law No. 32 in 2004, and Law No. 6 in 2014. Method: This descriptive-qualitative study explores the conceptual understanding of village development in Indonesia using secondary data from laws, regulations, and research. Kuhn's thinking is used to interpret the paradigm underlying the development system, spanning from the reformation era to the present. Results: This study reviews the paradigm from the perspective of Thomas Kuhn, who sees the truth from a scientific perspective in the context of Indonesian governance. The findings show that Law No. 22 of 1999 and Law No. 32 of 2004 are built upon political and governmental sciences, highlighting a paradigm shift from centralization to decentralization. Village management and regulatory systems then lie between central and regional governments, which influences its development. Furthermore, Law No. 6 of 2014 positions villages in an exclusive regulatory system with changing sociocultural and economic dimensions but retains pre-existing political and governmental dimensions. In other words, village regulatory systems are not based on radical paradigms. Conclusion: The existing paradigm cannot be abandoned, and new ideas about villages need to be developed. To truly demonstrate autonomy, laws must be released from the previous paradigm and establish a new scientific basis.

Saenong,

Saidi

2023

Objective: This research analyzes the government's endeavors to support the community in their conservation efforts pertaining to sugar palm trees. Theoretical Framework: Damage to the natural environment is related to the habits of local communities when utilizing forest products. These empowerment programs could prevent the damage. However, in implementing community empowerment, we often find that program activities have not reached the actual level of participation. The government's role in implementing the palm sugar empowerment program remain dominant. The greater the independence given to the community, the more successful the empowerment program will be. Methods: A comprehensive approach involving observations and interviews with the local community and stakeholders was employed for data collection. Findings: The results showed that the level of community participation in the palm sugar conservation program only reached the placation stage. Conclusions: The dominance of the government in determining the success of empowerment initiatives suggests that the palm tree conservation program is not operating at its optimal capacity.

Objectives: The objectives of this research are to analyze the implementation of an effective supervisory model in the financial management of the village so that there is no corruption in the village's finances. And to analyze the evaluation of the effective financial supervision model of that village. Theoretical Framework: Agency theory is the grand theory in this study related to village financial management. The theory used for supervision is Accountability and Principal Agent Models, supported by the use of corruption detection theory and the government's Internal Control System. Method: Researchers chose qualitative descriptive research because its practice is not limited to collecting and classifying data; it also includes analyzing and interpreting the meaning of data. The types of data collected are primary data and secondary data. As from the primary in this study are the words and actions of the people being observed. Results and conclusion: Implementation of effective supervision models in the administration of the villages' finances requires a combination of strategies such as improved government audits, enhanced participation of the grassroots, increased transparency and accountability, improved supervision, the provision of guidance and training, and the use of technology. These strategies can help prevent financial corruption and ensure that village funds are used for the benefit of the public. Originality/value/novelty: The novelty of this research suggests that supervision does not stand alone, but must go hand in hand with the coaching process. supervision accompanied by proper coaching will create effective village financial management so as to reduce the occurrence of corruption in village financial management.
