SINERGITY OF THE VILLAGE PRIVATE BUSINESS AGENCY (BUMDes) "KUPAS SEIRAMA" ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF VILLAGE COMMUNITY WELFARE

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the existence of BUMDes in Pawindan Village in improving rural welfare. The era of autonomy has made the paradigm of the village community that development should start from the level of the "grassroots" community. This is supported by the Village Fund program which is a stimulator of infrastructure development and can also be a driver of the development of other sectors. One form of village development policy is the presence of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). But new problems emerged in Pawindan Village, which was dominated by the existence of pre-prosperous communities and dominated by less productive communities from the economic sector and community waste issues that had not been managed and organized properly. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with data analysis using data triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that the BUMDes “Kupas Seirama” shows that: (1) "Kupas Seirama" BUMDes are focused on integrated waste management and have high economic value; (2) “Kupas Seirama” BUMDes have become a driver in providing labor-based employment; (3) BUMDes "Kupas Seirama" has succeeded in increasing the village's original income.
