THE ROLE OF VILLAGE GOVERNMENT IN INSTILLING DEMOCRATIC VALUES TO THE COMMUNITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT (STUDY OF SUKAJADI VILLAGE, LYRIC SUB-DISTRICT, INDRAGIRI HULU DISTRICT)

Abstrak

This study aims to determine the role of village government in instilling democratic

values, implementation and obstacles to the duties of the Village Head in infrastructure

development in Sukajadi Village, Lirik District, Indragiri Hulu Regency. In the context

of comprehensive, integrated and programmed village development, to achieve its goals

and objectives, apart from being supported by good village government management, a

clear organization is also very much determined by the participation of the village

community concerned. But the fact is that there are still many developments in villages

that have not run optimally, such as those found in Sukajadi Village, Lirik District,

Indragiri Hulu Regency, where there are still many infrastructure developments that are

still inadequate and have not been maximized by the Village Head. The research method

used is through a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques through interviews,

observation and documentation. The result of the research is that the implementation of

development in Petalongan Village based on Merilee S. Grindle's theory has paid

attention to aspects of policy content and the context of program implementation. The

content of the policy already contains the interests of the village community even though

it has not been fully realized. The Sukajadi Village Head as the driving force of

government in the village must choose qualified resources so that they can work

optimally and optimally in terms of implementing every program that is realized,

especially village infrastructure development.
