Abstract

Village development is a part of the realization of national and regional  development based on the vision and mission of the central government, and reflects  elements of equitable development and achievement. Villages are small but important  organizations because of their close relationship with the people in every country.  Therefore, the government then introduced the Village Fund Allocation (ADD) program  to assist the development process in the village. The purpose of the study was to determine  the implementation of the Village Fund Allocation in Teluk Sasah Village, Seri Kuala  Lobam District, Bintan Regency. This research method uses a descriptive method with a  qualitative approach using the theory of Van Meter and Van Horn (in the book Leo  Agustino 2016). The indicators in this study are policy standards and objectives, resource  characteristics of implementing agents, attitudes / tendencies of implementers,  interorganizational communication, and socio-economic conditions. The results of this  study of policy implementation can be concluded that, 1) Standards and objectives in  policy implementation have followed existing Regent Regulations, 2) Resources seen from  the Teluk Sasah village community are still lacking in community participation in the  implementation of activities, 3) The characteristics of the implementers have run  optimally, 4) The attitude / tendency of the implementers has done it readily and is also  committed to carrying out activities, 5) Communication to the community has not been  carried out properly, 6) The social, economic and political environment obtained results  have not had a significant influence on the economy of the Teluk Sasah Village  community. Therefore, it is recommended that the village government do. It is important  to improve access to information and understanding of policies to the community through  socialization, so that the community at large can understand the ADD policy program and  so that the community can participate in the implementation of ADD. It is important to  conduct training and mentoring for village communities in managing and utilizing village  funds effectively and sustainably
