As a concept and practice of development, the concept of participation began to be discussed in the 60s as various international institutions promoted participation in the method of planning, implementation, and evaluation of development. The importance of the community in rural development is to remind the local people to be more proactive. The present study is a qualitative descriptive that describes the community's participation in rural infrastructure development. The results show that participation in decision-making in the "Pahlawan" village is still low in their awareness and care to attend deliberation meetings and discuss a program of village infrastructure development activities that do not meet the invitation quota. In this case, the coordination between the village agencies has not been done correctly, either with the village or community device environment. Participation in the benefits of maintaining and caring for each of the outcomes of village development is also low and has a detrimental effect on the development of poor, untreated village infrastructure. While participation in the development of village infrastructure is quite evident from the contribution of the community in preparing the availability of village infrastructure. Based on the program, five focus development activities are planned. However, only three development activities are implemented namely resource development, infrastructure or environment, and disaster preparedness.
