The method used in this study was descriptive statistics with data from all villages in Bantul Regency. This study concluded that the implementation of good governance in villages in Bantul was generally good. Good governance indicators have been implemented by more than 50% of all villages even though some indicators still need to be improved. The villages have applied the good governance principles in accordance with the international formulation, namely, efficiency and effectiveness, openness and transparency, innovation, long-term orientation, reliable, and accountable financial management. The implementation can be strengthened through training to the village government and communities, especially regarding innovation and long-term orientation principles that must be possessed so that the villages can become more independent and develop more rapidly.

Summary

Introduction

A governance includes three stakeholders, namely: state, civil society, and market. The crisis that occurred in Indonesia in 1998, which had a great impact in all aspects, showed that state, civil society, and market have not played a positive role in realizing good governance. Based on the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) (1997), the principles of governance include Participation, Rule of law, Transparency, Responsiveness, Consensus orientation, Justice (Equity), Effectiveness and Efficiency (Effectiveness and Efficiency), Accountability (Accountability), and Strategic Vision (Strategic Vision). All of these principles are mutually reinforcing and cannot stand independently. The results of a study by the Anti-corruption Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, or KPK) stated that village accountability reports have not followed the prevailing standards and were prone to manipulation (KPK, 2015)
