A Decade of Village Funds for the Development and Management of Village Road Infrastructure in Kekait Village Gunung Sari District, West Lombok Regency

This study aims to analyze a decade of Village Fund use for road infrastructure development in Kekait Village, Gunung Sari District, West Lombok Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through interviews with several related parties, namely the Village Head, Village Secretary, Village Treasurer, Head of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), KAUR Planning, Officials from the Community and Village Empowerment Service (DPMD), Local Village Facilitators, and the Kekait Village Community. The results of the study indicate that Village Funds have had a positive impact on local economic growth due to increased accessibility and quality of road infrastructure. However, limited funds require development to be carried out in stages, so better resource management is needed. Community participation also plays an important role even though it only contributes to labor. This study recommends improving coordination between parties, optimizing the use of Village Funds, and increasing community involvement for sustainable development.
