The Role of The Village Government in The Management of The Tirta Shinta Tourism Village Enterprise to Improve Community Welfare
Abstract
The welfare of rural communities is one of the main goals of national development, which can be achieved through the optimization of local potential. One of the efforts made by the government is through the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), as was done by Wonomarto Village by establishing BUMDes Wisata Tirta Shinta. The dam, which originally functioned as irrigation, was developed into a tourist destination to improve the village economy. However, obstacles such as damaged road access, lack of tourist facilities, and low community participation are challenges in its management. This research aims to analyze the role of the Wonomarto Village government in managing BUMDes Wisata Tirta Shinta, as well as its impact on improving community welfare. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Wonomarto Village government has carried out the functions of planning, organizing, mobilizing, and supervising in the management of BUMDes. The existence of BUMDes Wisata Tirta Shinta has increased the village's original income (PAD) and created new business opportunities for the community. However, infrastructure constraints and the lack of facilities are still major obstacles in achieving overall community welfare. This research suggests increasing budget allocations for the improvement of facilities and road access, as well as efforts to increase community participation in BUMDes management.
