Village Governance, Community Participation, Development ObstaclesAbstract
Entering the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, the challenges of modernization demand the readiness of human resources, where the millennial generation plays a crucial role as the pillar of future leadership. However, youth involvement in local-level development is often not optimal due to a less participatory approach. The research problem in this study is how the village government roles in increasing the participation of the millennial generation. Meanwhile, this study aims to determine and analyze the role of the Mehanggin Village Government, Muaradua District, South OKU Regency, in increasing the participation of the millennial generation. This study employed a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with the village head, village officials, and local youth leaders, supported by direct observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out through several stages, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, to objectively depict the real conditions in the field. The results showed that the role of the Village Government in increasing the participation of the millennial generation in Mehanggin Village has begun to take place, but it is not yet fully effective. The participatory approach implemented was able to increase the confidence and creativity of the youth, although the active participation rate of millennials in the village remains fluctuated. The main obstacles found include a lack of intensive communication between the village government and the youth, the limited availability of innovative empowerment forums or programs, and the minimal allocation of a specific budget for youth capacity development. Thus, an increase in professionalism is required to create a more conducive and responsive environment toward the potential of village millennials.
