Abstract

The full level of community participation in rural development is very much needed. Participatory development actually comes from the community, is implemented, monitored and evaluated by the community as well. The implementation of rural development receives intervention by the central, regional, local government, non-governmental institutions and/or private parties or companies. The development process in Gunung Terang Village, Air Hitam District, West Lampung Regency has been going on for a long time. Based on this background, the purpose of this study is to analyze the trajectory of assisting related parties in the village development process through the implementation of programs and activities in the village. This research was conducted with a descriptive quantitative approach and interviews. The main data used is primary data and supported by secondary data from reports and libraries. The respondents involved were 35 people, selected purposively, namely those who had been beneficiaries of programs or activities implemented in Gunung Terang village. The form of benefits received is not a measure in determining respondents. Meanwhile, interviews were conducted with community leaders and former village officials who knew a lot about the development of programs and activities that had been entered and accepted by Gunung Terang Village. The community assistance process has been started since 20 years ago, carried out by local non-governmental organizations and international NGOs. The forms of programs and activities vary, but they are community empowerment with targets for farmer groups, women's groups, and youth groups. Meanwhile, the programs and activities received from the central and regional governments are not community empowerment but rather socialization and/or infrastructure development. Meanwhile, the private sector or company provides guidance whose system has been standardized by the company, for example the management of coffee plantations, so that it can produce high yields. The potential for village development is local wisdom and social capital which is a local wisdom value to increase community participation and capacity. Thus impacting sustainable rural development.
