Implementation of the Village Development Index in Increasing Development to Anticipate Non-Military Threats in West Kalimantan Province

The Village Development Index puts an emphasis on strengthening regional autonomy. The community assumes that life in the village has a lot of poverty and low strata of life, so that the disparity rate is still too high. Empowerment of village communities is a policy that can answer various problems in development. Village empowerment refers to data found as information about potential resources, cultural values, and village characteristics. Through a descriptive qualitative study, this journal describes the implementation of a building village index based on indicators of social, economic and environmental resilience in enhancing development with the ultimate goal of optimal community welfare in order to anticipate forms of non-military threats.
