Community involvement analysis for sustainable rural infrastructure development

Abstract

Rural infrastructure affects agricultural growth, economic development, and village poverty alleviation. The development of sustainable rural infrastructure can be achieved optimally by involving villagers. This study aims to identify the aspects within such involvement. Data collection is conducted through survey, case study and archival analysis. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis. The results of this study show that community involvement in rural infrastructure development comes in the form of wealth, whereas the factors that influence their participation are age and occupation. This study shows that community involvement can indeed support sustainable rural infrastructure development.
