Abstract

This article aimed to analyze community participation in optimizing the utilization of village treasury lands with lease agreements. This study employed normative legal research with secondary data from primary and secondary legal materials related to research. The result of the study indicated that community participation played an important role in optimizing the utilization of village treasury lands with lease agreements. The purpose of the village treasury lands with lease agreements was to increase Village Original Income. The lease agreements were stated in a written agreement to prevent problems in the future. Community participation was needed in agreements starting from pre-agreement to post-agreement to create a strong foundation in implementing governance and development towards a just, safe, and prosperous society. However, in the agreement procurement, the role of the community was sometimes less than optimal in participation in determining the clauses in the agreement. This study suggests that the village government add a role for the community in procuring village treasury lands with lease agreements so that transparency and democracy are realized in managing village assets. Moreover, village communities also must take an active role in village government.
