Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages to become Regulations on Village (PERDES) stipulated by the Village Head after obtaining joint approval from the Village Representative Body, which was formed in the context of implementing village autonomy. PERDES is a further elaboration of higher laws and regulations by taking into account the characteristics of each village. In this regard, a PERDES is prohibited from contradicting public interests and/or higher laws and regulations. Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) are village businesses managed by the Village Government and legal entities. The Village Government can establish Village-Owned Enterprises according to the needs and potential of the Village. The formation of Village-Owned Enterprises is stipulated by a Village Regulation. The management of Village-Owned Enterprises consists of the Village Government and local village communities. It is hoped that the community can be actively involved in the formation of Village Regulations, but the obstacles in the field is that community understanding regarding the Village Regulations are still lacking so that the community is still apathetic to the process of the Village Regulation Formation, so that a constructive idea is born to provide counseling and guidance to legal awareness communities. from the interests of the community itself, namely being actively involved in the formation of Village Regulations.
