Implementation of the Dismissal and Confirmation of the Village Head

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze the appointment and confirmation of village heads in Yahukimo Regency. This research uses qualitative research procedures that produce descriptive qualitative data. The research was conducted at the Yahukimo Student Association, Wamena City, Papua Mountains. Data sources include primary and secondary data. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis in this research uses the analytical technique model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The results of this research show that the election of village heads in the Yahukimo Regency does not apply Law No. 6 of 2024 concerning villages but uses a system of appointment and confirmation by Yahukimo Regency officials without considering existing legal regulations. This could be due to the game of interests between the regents and deputy regents in the Yahukimo Regency. Human resources, especially village officials in Yahukimo Regency, could be higher, which impacts all village management and services that need to be developed and developed as usual. The management of the village bureaucracy could be better due to a shortage of labor and village heads who spend their time in the city with people's money without considering the community. In addition, the level of community participation could be much higher. This happens because leaders are authoritarian and corrupt and must do important tasks better. Community participation is very important for village development. For this reason, village communities from all groups must be involved in creating, implementing, and evaluating village policies. To ensure that the village head's policies are implemented on target.
