Abstract

The realization of village fund as reported by the head of the village office department and the village secretary of Bantul Regency in 2017 revealed that three villages in Bantul Regency showed low realization of the fund, namely Triharjo 64.43%, Kebonagung 61.91%, and Ngestiharjo 69.19%. This research was to explore the implementation of village fund in Bantul Regency in 2017 (A Study in Triharjo, Kebonagung and Ngestiharjo Village), to identify problems that occurred, and to find solutions to the problems. It was qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, document analyses, and direct observations in three villages in Bantul Regency, namely Triharjo, Kebonagung and Ngestiharjo. The results indicated that the implementation of the fund in the three villages in 2017 was not satisfactory yet as indicated by the low realization of the fund. The problems can be attributed to the low capacity of the village apparatus and regulation constraints. In addition to this, they could not yet perform planning, responsibility, and programs.
