Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine community participation as a principle of good governance in implementing social change and rural development through village financial management and village potential. This research method uses a qualitative approach by observing and collecting primary data in the form of interviews with the community. The results of the study show that community participation in carrying out social change and rural development through village financial management is still not well implemented, it is because the existence of a fundamental problem from the community lies in the lack of knowledge regarding village regulations and policies. Whereas community participation through the management of village potential can be well implemented, due to mutual cooperation that has become a culture of the community. Social change needs to be done in increasing the potential and development of the village and there needs to be government intervention in facilitating and mentoring directed at the problems that exist in the community in conducting village management and development
