Potensi Ekonomi dan Strategi Peningkatan Pendapatan: Realisasi Anggaran Tahun 2024 dan Proyeksi Anggaran Tahun 2025 di Desa Kureksari

Abstract

Kureksari Village utilizes local economic potential and designs strategies to increase revenue through analysis of the 2024 budget realization and the 2025 budget plan. Kureksari Village, located in Sidoarjo Regency, has a wealth of resources in the form of physical assets such as a sports building managed by BUMDes as well as non-physical potential such as a spirit of mutual cooperation and a high level of community education. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through case studies, using data obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that village financial management has been directed towards the principles of transparency and efficiency, with a focus on spending on development, empowerment, and strengthening the community economy. Although village income in 2025 is projected to increase, challenges are still seen in efforts to increase Village Original Income (PADes) sustainably. The strategies implemented include increasing the professionalism of BUMDes management, mentoring small business actors, and expanding market access through digitalization. Therefore, it is recommended that villages continue to strengthen the capacity of their apparatus, increase community involvement, and build partnerships with external parties to support the achievement of economically independent villages.
