Village Potential Mapping to Initiate the Establishment of BUMDes in Indonesia

Abstract

. The establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is the mandate of the law. BUMDes is also one of the leading work programs in the government's priority performance. The limited meeting of the President of the Republic of Indonesia on September 24, 2020, invited the village government to carry out development synergy. Although 5000 BUMDes are targeted by the Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Areas and Transmigration it has been surpassed by the establishment of nearly 35,000 BUMDes across Indonesia. However, there are some villages that still seem hesitant and less motivated to establish BUMDes. Kawedanan District consists of seventeen villages and three sub-districts. There are a large number of villages in Kawedanan District but not all villages have established BUMDes. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of the village in the initiation of establishing BUMDes in Kawedanan District. This research activity was carried out qualitatively, through initial surveys, interviews, field studies on village potential mapping. The result of this activity is a document on mapping village potential and selecting a BUMDes company plan.
