Abstract

Social entrepreneurship is an important concept for realizing the welfare of rural communities. This concept refers to the dedication of individuals, who have the character of a leader, who collaborates actively with their communities, to realize collective welfare. This research aims to analyze the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in improving the welfare of rural communities through social entrepreneurship. This research was qualitative. The data collection technique used in this research was the observation. The results of observations are then analyzed, combined, and enriched with secondary data. The results showed that BUMDes is an institution in rural areas, which has an important role in encouraging and supporting the principles of social entrepreneurship in rural communities. However, the various BUMDes activities and innovations have not yet provided significant changes for the village such as job opportunities for rural youth and various economic activities in rural areas to improve the local economy. Strengthening the social system in the village is needed to realize social entrepreneurship comprehensively through the active collaboration of village leaders and the community. Village fund management by BUMDes needs to be continued and evaluated in its implementation.Kewirausahaan sosial adalah konsep penting untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan. Konsep ini mengacu pada adanya dedikasi individu, yang memiliki karakter pemimpin, yang bekerjasama dengan masyarakatnya secara aktif, untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan kolektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan melalui kewirausahaan sosial. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi. Hasil observasi kemudian dianalisis, digabungkan dan diperkaya dengan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa BUMDes merupakan sebuah lembaga di daerah pedesaan, yang memiliki peran yang penting dalam mendorong dan mendukung prinsip-prinsip kewirausahaan sosial di masyarakat pedesaan. Namun, berbagai kegiatan dan inovasi BUMDes belum memberikan perubahan signifikan bagi desa seperti peluang kerja bagi pemuda desa serta bermacam-macam kegiatan ekonomi di daerah pedesaan untuk meningkatkan perekonomian lokal. Penguatan sistem sosial di desa diperlukan untuk mewujudkan kewirausahaan sosial secara komprehensif melalui kolaborasi aktif para pemimpin desa dan masyarakat. Pengelolaan dana desa oleh BUMDes perlu dilanjutkan dan dievaluasi dalam pelaksanaannya.
