PRELIMINARY
Today's leaders in every organization must work in very dynamic economic conditions by
accepting various changes that are non-negotiable. Because planning is the basis of other
management functions, an organizational leader can carry out these functions well to find out
the goals needed, on how to achieve them, of course, must be determined by planning.
According to George R. Terry (2006), planning is defined as a selection and linking of facts, using
assumptions about the future in visualizing and formulating proposed activities that are needed
to achieve the desired results.
Rural development strategies are usually related to the issue of how new policies from the
government can force people to change their traditional habits, however, from a sociological
perspective the success rate of rural development strategies will undoubtedly depend on the
human element as a source of implementation. effective or ineffective or not actually depends

on how the orientation of the development subject in assessing the social changes offered to
them.
So far, development policies in Indonesia, especially village development, are always top-down
and the sector in planning and implementation is not integrated, this can be seen from the
existing programs from the central government (each department) which are sectoral. Planning
is compiled without involving other sectors as well as local governments, other things that are
fundamental problems that occur in the regions, so that the formulation of strategies and
programs is not appropriate.
There are 33 developing villages in the Papua region which have developed into Independent
Villages.
According to the Pondok village education cottage on May 23, 2016, village development
planning has actually become a routine agenda that should be done by the Village Government
every year; however, there are several aspects that become questionable problems including:
1) Is the development planning process an important thing for the community where
development planning is a matter of livelihood of the village community so that the
community is really passionate and takes an active role in the planning process
2) Has the plan answered the community's life problems related to the adequacy of
clothing, food, housing, health, education, clean water and sanitation needs, energy
adequacy and so on
3) Does the village development planning process involve all elements in the community,
including involving women
4) Does the village development plan refer to the existing laws and regulations
5) Have the activities carried out in the village referred to the village planning in the village
RPJM and village RKP?
The problems above may arise due to several factors including the community understanding
factor that is less related to the flow and stages of the planning process, this is a small part of
the community who understands the flow and stages of the planning process, because only a
small part of the community understands the flow and stages of planning its implementation
cannot be maximized in accordance with existing laws and regulations, in answering the above
problems it is necessary to disseminate information to all levels of society in order to
understand the flow and stages of the planning process in the village.
According to Hari Sabarno (2007: 31), the broad definition in the implementation of regional
autonomy is the regional freedom to administer government which covers all areas of
government excepted in the fields of foreign policy, defense and security, judiciary, monetary
and fiscal, and religion, as well as authority in the fields of other. The other areas of authority
include policies on national planning and control of macro-national development, financial
balance funds, state administration systems and state economic institutions, development and
empowerment of human resources, utilization of natural resources and strategic high
technology, conversion, and national standardization.
Responsible autonomy is the realization of accountability as a consequence of granting rights
and authorities to regions in the form of duties and obligations that must be borne by regions

in achieving the objectives of granting autonomy, in the form of improving public services and
welfare, developing democratic life, justice and equity and maintenance of harmonious
relations between the center and the regions as well as between regions in the context of
maintaining the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
One of the districts in the spotlight of researchers is Teluk Kimi District, Nabire Regency, it is
interesting for researchers to examine in Teluk Kimi District, Nabire Regency, there are as many
as 5 (five) villages which between one village and another have different characteristics and
characteristics because come from different ethnic backgrounds, also the life of the people in
the villages is still homogeneous because almost 99% of one village is inhabited by one
particular tribe, this is what makes understanding and lifestyle still carried over to this day.
This makes it difficult for the existing villages to accept development so that poverty and
underdevelopment and ignorance as well as public health still need to be developed,
considering the distance and reach of the Teluk Kimi District with the Regency Capital which is
not too far to reach, which is approximately 30 km. it takes the seriousness of the Regional
Government and the District Government to intervene to improve the welfare of the
community. For this reason, a development planning strategy is needed that is in accordance
with the applicable laws and regulations.
Based on the background, the problem in this research is how is the village development
planning strategy in improving the welfare of the people in Teluk Kimi District, Nabire Regency.
