This study aims to examine the role of the Village Government in enforcing customary law sanctions of Wake Uru Sorong Tada and to analyze the effectiveness of its implementation in Heo Puat Village, Hewokloang District, Sikka Regency. Wake Uru Sorong Tada is a form of customary law that functions as a traditional prohibition to regulate and protect community ownership of agricultural products and commodities. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving key informants such as the village head, Village Consultative Body members, traditional leaders, and community members. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Heo Puat Village Government plays an active role as a facilitator, mediator, and guarantor in enforcing customary sanctions in accordance with Village Regulation Number 2 of 2009. The village government does not directly determine the sanctions but collaborates closely with customary institutions in resolving violations. The enforcement of Wake Uru Sorong Tada customary law sanctions is considered effective in maintaining social order, security, and a sense of safety in property ownership among community members. The strict and binding nature of customary sanctions has significantly increased legal awareness and minimized social conflicts within the village.

The implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) is essential for achieving efficient, transparent, and accountable village governance. Sido Rukun Village in Merangin Regency, Jambi Province, has begun using several government applications but lacks a structured enterprise architecture aligned with the national SPBE framework. This study aims to develop an enterprise architecture for SPBE in the business process domain at Sido Rukun Village. The research employs the TOGAF ADM (The Open Group Architecture Framework – Architecture Development Method) approach, involving stages such as identifying current business processes, designing a target architecture, and conducting a gap analysis between the as-is and to-be states. The findings include a business process architecture blueprint compliant with Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2018 and Presidential Regulation No. 132 of 2022 on the National SPBE Architecture. This blueprint encompasses BPMN-based business process models and supporting artifacts that serve as a foundation for integrated information systems at the village level. The study’s implications are significant: it provides Sido Rukun Village with a practical and standardized technical blueprint for implementing a sustainable electronic-based government system, thereby supporting its transformation toward a Smart Village capable of adapting to evolving information and communication technology trends.

This Development Project aims to analyze and formulate strategies for improving the performance of Human Resources (HR) among village officials in the Pangkalan Lunang Village Government by applying the SWOT analysis approach. The performance of village officials plays a crucial role in implementing various village development programs, as they serve as the front line in carrying out government policies. This project employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies.

However, they also face weaknesses such as limited training opportunities and low managerial capacity. The analysis further reveals several opportunities that can be leveraged, including government policy support and available training programs, as well as challenges like low community participation in village development activities. Based on these findings, this Development Project proposes strategies to enhance the performance of village officials, including capacity building through regular training, increasing community participation, and strengthening coordination among related institutions. It is expected that the proposed strategies will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of village officials’ performance in supporting development in Pangkalan Lunang Village.

This study aims to identify and analyze the leadership style of the Cilampunghilir Village Head in implementing village governance. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants were selected purposively, including the village head, village secretary, village officials, hamlet heads, and relevant community leaders. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the village head's leadership style tends to be democratic and participatory. The village head emphasizes collective decision-making by prioritizing consensus through deliberation and encouraging citizen involvement in every step of governance. In decision-making, the village head strives to involve the wider community so that policy outcomes are well-received. In terms of motivation, the village head actively provides encouragement, rewards, and builds reciprocal cooperation with village officials and residents. He recognizes the importance of appreciation and trust in order to build a cooperative work environment. Furthermore, in communication, the village head is known for being open, accessible, and willing to listen to the aspirations of villagers. In terms of controlling subordinates, the village head provides clear direction, delegates tasks according to competence, and enforces discipline to ensure the smooth implementation of village programs. This indicates a leadership style that balances authority with empowerment. However, the study also identified several weaknesses, including a lack of representation of marginalized groups, low frequency of outreach activities, and unequal access to information. Therefore, it is recommended that deliberation forums be strengthened with a more inclusive approach, diversified outreach methods through the use of digital channels, and increased transparency be implemented to optimize village governance.

Sanankerto Village still relies on manual administration, which affects the efficiency of data management and public services. This community service program aims to optimize the village administrative information system through training in Microsoft Excel and Google Workspace for 20 village officials.

Article 1 point 5 of Law Number 6 of 2014 defines a village as a legal community unit with the right to its origin. In its implementation, the village government may facilitate the establishment of traditional village institutions (LAD), which function to preserve customs and serve as partners in village governance. Todo Village in Manggarai Regency continues to uphold its traditional values through a functioning customary institution that plays a role as a stakeholder. However, modernization often creates tension between traditional values and modern societal demands. This research is a normative legal study supported by empirical data. The data were analyzed using a juridical-descriptive qualitative method, obtained through field research and other sources.The findings show that the traditional institution in Todo Village has adopted a more modern and administrative structure without losing its core functions in preserving local customs. It maintains a constructive partnership with the village government while each operates independently. Strengthening efforts include providing infrastructure, allocating village funds for traditional house maintenance, and establishing customary organizations to support development. However, challenges remain, especially due to the lack of specific regulations and the fact that Todo has not yet been officially designated as a customary village.
