Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the village fund allocation policy on infrastructure development in Teluk Sasah Village, located in Seri Kuala Lobam District, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands, Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was adopted, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 52 respondents comprising local community members and village staff. In this study, the village fund allocation policy served as the independent variable, while infrastructure development was the dependent variable. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The findings revealed that the implementation of the village fund allocation policy significantly influenced infrastructure development, as evidenced by an R Square value of 0.91, indicating that 91% of the variance in infrastructure development could be explained by the policy. However, challenges related to equitable development and community participation were identified, highlighting the need for targeted efforts to enhance efficiency and ensure inclusive growth.
