Implementation Of Policy For The Use Of Village Fund For Rural Social Economic Development And Covid-19 Prevention (Study In North Oba District, Tidore Islands City)

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the extent of implementing the Policy on the Use of Village Funds for Socio-Economic Development and Covid-19 Prevention in 11 villages in North Oba District, Tidore Islands City, from 2020 to 2022. This study used a qualitative method with the type of case study research. Data was collected by using a technique using questionnaires, digital documents, and online news. The results of this study indicate that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly negatively affected people's lives, seen from the availability of infrastructure for village socioeconomic development and community life activities. However, overall the implementation of the Village Fund policy for Socio-Economic Development and Covid-19 Pandemic Management is going quite well. The factor that supports this success is that the socialization of programs and information about the dangers of the Covid-19 pandemic is running optimally. Then other dimensions that support the bureaucratic structure, coordination between implementers is quite intensive, and the relationship is collaborative between policy actors or implementers. The inhibiting factor arises from the dimension of village apparatus resources, many of which have not mastered administration, and the limitations of the Village Fund budget so that socioeconomic development infrastructure is insufficient in preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
