Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques and SWOT analysis, which examines the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the implementation of independent village development. The results showed that supporting factors such as natural resource potential, government policy support, and active community participation, while inhibiting factors include the limited quality of human resources, dependence on village funds, and limited infrastructure.
