The village is the lowest government level located in the administrative area of districts/cities municipalities throughout Indonesia. The rapid advancement of digital technology has brought global changes that require villages to carry out transformation and adaptation. In responding to this, what should be done for the sustainability of the values of life, preserving traditions, culture, and local wisdom, and building human capital to improve the welfare of its citizens? This study aims to find an extraordinary strategy to realize rural resilience through a digital village. The study used a qualitative method with case studies in two villages: i) Cijengkol Village and ii) Sepakung Village. This study finds the importance of digitalization starting from the village. The apparatus and community of Cijengkol Village are increasingly enjoying the benefits of digitization to complete various daily affairs. Meanwhile, Sepakung Village has published its natural wealth and tourism digitally. The digital village is one of the ideal solutions for rural resilience in the digital era. Human capital is the main factor. Advances in digital technology and digitalization of villages help manage village government, including the development of social life in the community in the village. Second, the village has a global presence, where digitalization has helped change the village's image and the lives of its people. It is hoped that the government will be able to initiate a participatory digital village that is responsive to the dynamics of digitalization, inclusive development, the anticipation of disasters, and digital-based environmental sustainability.

The government places research and development (R & D) to take a significant role in implementing local government in an agency. However, there are still many regional research and development tools joined by the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda). This research is qualitative research that aims to describe the conditions and problems of regional research and development joined by the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) and the strengthening strategy and role of regional research and development tools in planning dominance. Primary data were collected through online surveys and in-depth interviews and secondary data through the study of documentation and related statutory regulations. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. The results showed that the regional research and development under the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) still face internal and external obstacles. Their roles and functions are not optimal. This study recommends strategies for strengthening regional research and development and mechanisms for synergizing the roles of research, development, and planning.

In recent years, the government has been aggressively inviting the public to use public transportation for all regional residents in Indonesia. Mattson et al. (2021) stated that transportation and accessibility in the village are more comprehensive and have more complex transportation issues. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure rural transportation services to improve public transportation performance in the Pringsewu Regency. This study uses a mixed-method and combines quantitative and qualitative data at one time (Creswell, 2014). The data is analyzed quantitatively and then explained based on existing conditions and provisional assumptions. The data used are primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through field surveys on four rural transportation routes in Pringsewu Regency to obtain data on load factors, vehicle speed, waiting time, travel time, frequency/hour, and the number of vehicles operating from each route. Furthermore, the data is evaluated and given an assessment based on the suitability of indicators based on the assessment standard from the Directorate General of Land Transportation, Ministry of Transportation. Secondary data was obtained from Statistics Indonesia publications, official documents, and government websites. The analysis results showed that rural transportation services in the Pringsewu regency were below the ideal standard (70%), with an average loading factor of 40—50%, which is included in the bad category. This is estimated to be influenced by several factors, namely the low level of load factor and headway. The recommendation put forward is the need for efforts to add headways and increase the speed of travel time and reduce the frequency of trips to improve transportation performance.

The Gerbang Kaca program is a regional development policy set to seek change through intervention in the village. This research aims to explain how policy interventions with the development pattern approach are carried out by the Fakfak Regency government. This study uses a qualitative approach supported by integrated quantitative data to support the elaboration and interpretation of research data in conducting the analysis. Primary data collection was carried out through field observations, interviews, and distributing questionnaires as well as limited Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with informants consisting of (1) OPD, Village Apparatus, (2) Traditional Leaders, (3) Community Leaders, and (4) Youth Leaders and stakeholders in Fak Fak Regency, West Papua. The results of the study used descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach by discussing gate policies in the regional development process. Furthermore, the Glass Gate policy aims to create development efficiency at the community level. It is proven that there is still recognition from the community wherein in the various activities carried out,

Decent Work and Economic Growth represent one of the goals of Sustainable Development Goals. The Government of Indonesia through the National Secretariat for Sustainable Development Goals has continued to launch national actions by building multi-stakeholder partnerships to encourage the achievement of these goals. Citi Indonesia, together with Indonesia Business Links, initiated a youth development and empowerment program in the area of Bekasi City, Bekasi Regency, Karawang Regency, Purwakarta Regency, and Bandung Regency. The collaboration was a Citi Indonesia Corporate Social Responsibility activity focusing on capacity building, opening job opportunities, encouraging entrepreneurship, and creating a conducive environment. Increased competence in human resources is needed especially in the current 4.0 industrial revolution era. The shift of human labour into machines with automation and the digital economy requires workers who have the intermediate ability. This happens because much low-skilled human labour has been replaced by machines. The program aimed to prepare young people to be ready to work and ready for entrepreneurship. This program was designed as a series of activities with implementation methods in the form of focus group discussions, outreach, in-class training, seminars, counselling, and field practice. The results showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the training participants so that it is hoped they will have a greater opportunity to be employed or to become entrepreneurs.
