The Effectivity of the Priority Policy of Natural Resources Management by Village-Owned Entities in the Coastal Areas of Mount Kidul Regency

Abstract

Villages, which exist as the smallest units within the government as well as the supporting pillars of cities, deserve more attention than they have garnered. Since 2016, the Indonesian Government has prioritized villages development from 3 main aspects i.e., infrastructure, village social services, and improvement of village economic certainties. This research is focused on the coastal area of Mount Kidul Regency, which has undergone economic development due to its geographical location. The village’s leading programs focus on improving coastal tourism, developing home-stays offering rich local experiences, clean water processing, and green spaces in residential establishments. In seeking to determine the effectivity of regulation which prioritizes abiotic natural resources management by Village-Owned Entities on the coastal area of Mount Kidul Regency, this research discovers and will elaborate the effect of legal understanding, in addition to the motivation of Village-Owned Entities in achieving effective village governance.
