Efektivitas Program Dana Kelurahan terhadap Pembangunan Wilayah pada Kecamatan Siantar Marimbun dengan Perspektif Community Driven Development

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of neighborhood fund management through the lens of Community-Driven Development. Purposive sampling was used in this study, with a sample size of 100 individuals. The researcher employed a quantitative method with SEM-PLS analysis technique. The findings indicate that neighborhood funds, under the Community-Driven Development approach, significantly influence the development of neighborhood infrastructure but do not significantly affect community empowerment in the Siantar Marimbun Sub- District. The Neighborhood Fund Program for regional development achieves an effectiveness ratio of 98%. This suggests that the management of neighborhood funds in the Siantar Marimbun Sub-District in 2020 still focuses on physical programs (infrastructure) and has yet to emphasize community empowerment development, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the absence of specific guidelines regarding the allocation percentage for infrastructure development versus community empowerment in Mayor Regulation No. 13 of 2019 for Pematangsiantar
