Abstract
Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages fosters new expectations of village development. The new hope of the essence of village development goals in the regulation is to realize a strong, independent, advanced, democratic and prosperous village without losing its identity. With mandatory implementation of village funds supported by village budgets and village expenditures from state finances (APBN) in the regulation, it is expected that the village and its people can be empowered to realize the ideals of development in the village. First, the priority of village funds implementation above 80% is physical development. Second, the purpose of empowerment is not achieved because the regulation and implementation in the field is regulated such as the Local Government Work Equipment Unit (SKPD) which in fact the village is different from the SKPD. Third, the regulation of the use of village funds is expected to grow village initiatives in fact determined from the Ministry and are top down. Fourth, labor-intensive policy aims to move the wheels of the local economy of the village on the one hand, on the other hand turn off the participation of gotong royong villagers. Thus, the implementation of village funds in community empowerment is expected in accordance with the spirit and mandate of Law No. 6 of 2014 on Villages, namely lifting villages from objects to the subject of development.
