Digitalization at this time is very closely related to information technology, especially from people's lives. With this digitalization, it can increase the potential that exists in the village which is expected to improve village government services to explore digital IT transformation. One of the digitalization programs that can improve village government services is the implementation of smart village development. In realizing the implementation of smart villages not only in the context of information technology, but there are several contexts of smart village development, namely being able to develop the potential of villages, helping to improve the regional economy, creating a quality of life for people based on information technology, providing easy access to services for the community, and the most important thing is, implementing applicable smart village development policies and regulations. One of the most important things in realizing smart village development is to implement policies and regulations that apply as a bridge for the village government with the implementation of IT strategy development in realizing smart villages. Without this policy, it will have implications for the sturdiness of smart village development that will be implemented. This research uses the model-building method that consist of four stages as a basis to actualize the recommended construction for smart village development. With this research, it is hoped that it can be an alternative as a form of “good will” in the context of empowering the community and local village organizations or officials involved.
