Studi Pemanfaatan Dana Desa di Desa Jenggala Kecamatan Tanjung Kabupaten Lombok Utara

Abstract

This study discussed the use of village funds before and after the 2018 earthquake in
Jenggala Village. The purpose of this study focused on knowing aspects of planning,
implementing and evaluating village funds in Jenggala Village, Tanjung Subdistrict, North
Lombok Regency. This study uses the structuration theory of Anthony Giddens which
explains the concepts of agents and structures, as well as the relationship of structures to
agents' social practices. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study
approach. Data collection uses interviews, observation, and collecting various
documentation. The results showed that during the planning, implementation and evaluation
of village funds in Jenggala Village, agents and structures had changed before and after the
earthquake. The pattern of utilisation of village funds in Jenggala Village prior to the
earthquake was more focused on the field of physical development at 80.76 percent and for
the empowerment of village communities it was allocated 19.24 percent. However, after the
earthquake the pattern of utilisation of village funds in Jenggala Village experienced a shift
and changes in priority programs. The physical development program after the earthquake
was only allocated 37.72 percent and focused more on aspects of empowering rural
communities which reached 62.28 percent. The lack of community participation, the limited
budget of village funds and the delay in the issuance of Regents Regulations after the
earthquake have become obstacles in the utilisation of village funds in Jenggala Village.
