Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in improving the welfare of the community in Gampong Meurandeh, Langsa City, as well as to provide an overview that can serve as a reference for other BUMDes with similar characteristics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach to obtain in-depth and contextual data. Data were collected through observations, documentation, and interviews with the Village Head, village officials, and BUMDes administrators. The research findings show that BUMDes Sejahtera contributes positively to the community's welfare through an active business unit for party equipment rentals that still operates and can absorb local labor. However, the cooperative savings and loan business unit of this BUMDes has experienced a decline in operational activities, which poses a challenge in efforts to comprehensively improve community welfare. These findings emphasize the importance of business development strategies and capacity building for managers so that BUMDes Sejahtera can sustain itself and provide more optimal benefits for the welfare of the village community. Practically, the results of this study can serve as a reference for village governments and BUMDes managers in designing more adaptive and sustainable policies and business strategies.

Review

This research provides a timely and relevant exploration into the multifaceted role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in fostering community welfare, specifically through a case study of Gampong Meurandeh in Langsa City. The study's objective to not only understand this role but also to offer a practical reference for other BUMDes with similar characteristics is commendable. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach, the authors effectively utilize observations, documentation, and interviews with key stakeholders, including the Village Head, officials, and BUMDes administrators, to gather in-depth and contextual data necessary for such an intricate topic. The findings illuminate a mixed but generally positive impact of BUMDes Sejahtera. The active party equipment rental business unit is identified as a significant contributor to community welfare, notably through its ability to absorb local labor, thereby providing direct economic benefits. This success story offers valuable insights into the potential of specific, well-managed business units within the BUMDes framework to create tangible improvements in local livelihoods and highlights a practical model that could be replicated or adapted by other villages. However, the study also transparently addresses challenges, particularly the decline in operational activities of the cooperative savings and loan business unit. This revelation is crucial as it underscores the complexities and varying levels of success BUMDes can experience, preventing an overly optimistic portrayal. The emphasis on the importance of business development strategies and capacity building for managers is a critical recommendation, pointing towards actionable steps for ensuring the sustainability and optimal benefit delivery of BUMDes Sejahtera. Practically, this research serves as a valuable reference for village governments and BUMDes managers, guiding them in designing more adaptive and sustainable policies and business strategies to maximize their positive impact on community welfare.
