The Level of Community Participation in Human Resource Development in Barakkae Village, Bone Regency

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the level of community participation in development in the Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency. In this study, the author employs a descriptive method using a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, with primary data collected from 8 individuals. Data collection techniques involved field studies, literature reviews, and included observations, in-depth interviews, as well as documentation. The research took place over a period of 1 month. The findings of this research indicate that community participation in human resource development in Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, is not entirely consistent with the views expressed by Cohen and Uphoff in 1977. Barriers to community participation in human resource development in Barakkae Village can be identified, particularly in decision-making, where there appears to be a lack of space provided by the village to accommodate the aspirations of the community. Efforts to overcome barriers to human resource development include the provision of proposal repositories, especially on a priority scale, involving the participation of village officials who encourage community involvement on a voluntary basis.
