ANALYZE DOMINANT FACTORS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VILLAGE FUND POLICY IN KEDIRI REGENCY
Village fund is still the primary driving force in village development in Kediri District because 44.93% of village revenue in Kediri District is contributed by village fund. However, there are still obstacles in the implementation of village fund policy in Kediri District, such as administrative problems, limited human resources of implementers, communication barriers, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, regulatory inconsistencies, and low community participation. Based on these conditions, this study attempts to analyze the dominant factors that influence the implementation of village fund policy in Kediri District. By referring to the Edwards III’s “Direct and Indirect Impact on Implementation Model” and using quantitative methods, it is known that Resource, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure Factors have a significant influence on the implementation of village fund policy in Kediri District while the Communication Factor has no significant effect. However, when the four variables are tested simultaneously, the result shows that Communication, Resource, Disposition, and Bureaucratic Structure together have a significant influence on the implementation of village fund policy in Kediri District.
