Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study uses descriptive and phenomenological methods to analyse the potential, and problems of Epeesi Village, South Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. With the approach of the Developing Village Index, which includes the Social Resilience Index, the Economic Resilience Index, and the Environmental Resilience Index, the study finds a range of challenges, including limited access to the economic, education, health, and infrastructure sectors. In practical terms, these findings provide strategic guidance for more sustainable and comprehensive village development. From a theoretical perspective, this study emphasizes the importance of integration between economic, social, and environmental development to achieve sustainability. Although there is potential in the economic and social capital sectors, villages still face obstacles in the fields of education and the environment, especially in handling pollution and natural disasters. This research suggests the need for stronger synergy between development sectors to improve village welfare holistically
