Good Governance dalam Pembangunan Desa (Studi Kasus Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan di Desa Sukamelang, Kabupaten Indramayu) Pembangunan desa yang efektif dan berkelanjutan membutuhkan penerapan prinsip-prinsip Good Governance yang meliputi transparansi, partisipasi, akuntabilitas, responsibilitas, dan aturan hukum yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi Good Governance dalam pembangunan infrastruktur jalan di Desa Sukamelang, Kabupaten Indramayu.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan analisis dokumen terkait. Responden penelitian meliputi Kepala Desa, Sekretaris Desa, anggota Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD), dan masyarakat Desa Sukamelang.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kelemahan dalam implementasi Good Governance dalam pembangunan infrastruktur jalan di Desa Sukamelang. Kurangnya transparansi dalam alokasi anggaran dan informasi yang tersedia menjadi kendala utama. Selain itu, partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengambilan keputusan terkait pembangunan jalan masih terbatas, dan mekanisme pengawasan yang kuat juga belum terbangun. Rekomendasi penelitian ini meliputi perluasan akses informasi kepada masyarakat terkait alokasi anggaran dan rencana pembangunan jalan, peningkatan partisipasi masyarakat melalui mekanisme musyawarah desa dan forum publik, serta penguatan mekanisme pengawasan melalui pembentukan tim pengawas independen dan peran aktif BPD dalam melakukan pengawasan. Diharapkan dengan implementasi Good Governance yang lebih baik, pembangunan infrastruktur jalan di Desa Sukamelang dapat menjadi lebih transparan, akuntabel, dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi bagi pemangku kepentingan, pemerintah desa, dan masyarakat dalam memahami pentingnya penerapan prinsip Good Governance dalam pembangunan desa, khususnya dalam konteks pembangunan infrastruktur jalan di Desa Sukamelang, Kabupaten Indramayu.

ABSTRACT:
Good Governance in Village Development (Case Study of Road Infrastructure Development in Sukamelang Village, Indramayu District) Effective and sustainable village development requires the application of the principles of good governance which include transparency, participation, accountability, responsibility, and good rule of law. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance in the construction of road infrastructure in Sukamelang Village, Indramayu Regency.
The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and analysis of related documents. Research respondents included the Village Head, Village Secretary, members of the Village Consultative Council (BPD), and the people of Sukamelang Village.
The results of the study indicate that there are weaknesses in the implementation of good governance in the development of road infrastructure in Sukamelang Village. The lack of transparency in budget allocations and available information is the main obstacle. In addition, community participation in decision-making related to road construction is still limited, and strong oversight mechanisms have not yet been developed. Recommendations for this research include expanding access to information for the public regarding budget allocations and road development plans, increasing community participation through village deliberations and public forums, and strengthening oversight mechanisms through the establishment of an independent monitoring team and the active role of the BPD in conducting oversight. It is hoped that with better implementation of Good Governance, road infrastructure development in Sukamelang Village can become more transparent, accountable and sustainable. This research contributes to stakeholders, village government and the community in understanding the importance of applying the principles of good governance in village development, especially in the context of road infrastructure development in Sukamelang Village, Indramayu Regency.
