KINERJA BADAN PERMUSYAWARATAN DESA (BPD) DALAM MENJALANKAN FUNGSINYA (Studi Kasus di Desa Tanjung Laong Kecamatan Muara Pahu Kabupaten Kutai Barat )

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the performance of BPD in carrying out its
functions. This type of research uses qualitative research with descriptive type, the number
of informants in this study is 7 people who are determined by data collection techniques
using interview and documentation methods. The focus of this research is to protect,
legislate, supervise, and accommodate people's aspirations. The results showed that the
performance of BPD in the act of nurturing socially had been carried out well, but it was
still not optimal. Performance in legislation itself has several obstacles, namely the lack
and lack of knowledge from the village government and the BPD who conduct joint
deliberation in forming a decision and formulating a village regulation itself and the lack
of cooperation with each other. Performance in monitoring actions is optimal enough
where the BPD often makes social visits to the community to listen to aspirations or
complaints that the community wants to convey to the village government. Performance in
community aspirations, the BPD has sought all forms of community aspirations to be
heard by the village government. Overall, the performance of the BPD in this case has
been very good in desensitizing and channeling the aspirations of the community so that
they are heard and considered to be resolved properly.
