| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to see the contribution of modern(ization) values and
traditional knowledge (hereinafter abbreviated as TK) in increasing the Village
Development Index (IDM) in North Tapanuli Regency after the implementation of
Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Village Government. In contrast to several
previous studies related to research on village funds with village development, the
focus is on modern values and TK. Modern values and TK village heads play an
important role, because they are the main figures in managing village finances
from the planning stage to monitoring village development. The village
development indicators use secondary data released by the Ministry of Villages,
Development of Underdeveloped Regions, and Transmigration known as the
Developing Village Index. IDM consists of 5 (five) categories, namely (1) very
underdeveloped villages; (2) underdeveloped villages; (3) developing village; (4)
developed villages; and (5) independent village. This study uses a mixed
paradigm (mix method), especially in data collection methods. The number of
selected samples was 71 village heads using the Slovin formula. The selected
sample represents proportionally from each IDM. Modern values and Traditional
knowledge were collected through a closed – ended questionnaire adopting a
world value survey study questionnaire (https://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/wvs.j
sp) and adapted to the cultural context and research location. Modern values
were also captured through in-depth interviews with several key informants. The
collected data was then analyzed using NVIVO and STATA. This study shows that
neither modern values nor TK contribute to improving village development. The
fiscal decentralization policy since 2018-2021 has not increase the IDM in North
Tapanuli Regency because the IDM remains "lagging" with a score of 0.5904.
Modern values have not become the values, orientations, and attitudes of village
heads in managing village funds. TK also does not contribute concretely and
directly in improving IDM, because it only takes care of customs in social life.TK
only plays a role in the village head election system known as “si soli-soli.” In
other words, TK that are micro and concrete and play a direct role in increasing
the Village IDM are not found. Furthermore, this research does not find a
hybridization between modern values and TK in increasing village development. | en_US |
